AGREE UPON TREATY
SECRETARY HAY AND MINISTER
BUNAU-VAR1LLA IN ACCORD
ON MAIN FEATURES.
I0UGH DRAFT NOW IN PREPARATION
CONVENTION PROVIDES FOR CON-
STRUCTION OF CANAL BY
THE PANAMA ROUTE.
"Washington, Nov. 19.The main
features of the Hay-Bun au-Varilla
treaty providing for tb construction
Df an isthmian canal by the Panama
route have been agreed upon and the
rough draft of the convention is in
preparation. No date for the signing
of the treaty has yet been fixed. The
Panama minister and Secretary Hay
will have another conference regard
ing the treaty.
It is thought that the members of
the Panama commission, who arrived
in New York Tuesday, will remain
there for the present as it is said their
presence is not needed here in con
nection with the negotiations for the
treaty. It is possible that when the
treaty is signed the commission may
receive cable instructions to ratify the
convention and thus avoid the neces
sity of sending it to Panama.
Unless Dr. Herran, the Colombian
charge, receives word from his gov
ernment within a reasonable time he
will close the Colombian legation here.
COLOMBIA AGGRESSIVE.
Assumes Threatening Attitude Toward
the United States.
Washington, Nov. 19.It is learned
here that the situation at Bogota has
assumed a critical phase as far as re
lations between the United States and
Colombia are concerned. Minister
Beaupre, on the 16th inst., was pressed
strongly by the Colombian government
to know whether the United States in
tended to recognize the new republic
of Panama. It is understood that th6
request was in such shape as to con
stitute a msnace in. the event that

Mr. Beaupre was instructed by this
government again to inform the Co
lombian government that such recog
nition had been extended to the new
republic of Panama by the United
States simply in the interest of human
ity and civilization and in the execu
tion of solemn treaty obligations bind
ing upon the United States. He was
Instructed to tender to the Colombian
government the good offices of the
United States to effect a settlement
of the difficulties between Colombia
and Panama. The issue is awaited
With some anxiety here.
As an earnest desire of the state
department to continue on friendly
terms with the Colombian government
it is pointed out that without bring
ing direct pressure to bear the de
partment is disposed to do everything
In its power to save any equities Co
lombia may have in the isthmus. Thus'
it is recognized as entirely proper
that some part of the $10,000,000 which
the Unitea States government is to
pay over to Panama upon the ratifica- I
tion of the treaty should be allotted
to Colombia in payment, of Panama's I
share of the Colombian national debt.
HER TROUBLES GROWING.
Colombian Territory Now Threatened
by Venezuela.
New York,*Nov. 19.Cabling from
Bogota, Colombia, the Herald's corre
spondent says:
Government military movements are
going on and the most supreme mo
ments in Colombia's history are com
ing.
The French steamer due at Colon
shortly is expected to bring important
news from Barranquilla respecting the
situation there. A strict cenorship
has been exercised over all messages
from that port and it is believed that
there is trouble of some sort^which
Colombia.desires to keep secret.
Important events are also antici
pated between Venezuela and Colom
bia. It is reported here that President
Castro may take advantage of the
present situation to extend Venezuela's
territory beyond the Orinoco.

UNDER POLICE PROTECTION.
Chicago City Railway Company Oper
ates Another Line.
Chicago. Nov. 19.While negotia
tions for peace between the Chicago
City Railway company and its strik
i ing employes were pending in the city
hall through the overtures of Mayor
Harrison and the aldermanic arbitra
tion committee a third line of the
company's strike bound cars was put
in operation under police protection.
Five cars on the Indiana Avenue elec
tric line were started under guard of
patrolmen, drawn from the Wentworth
and Cottage Grove lines, where tum
ble had apparently subsided almost to
the point of disappearance. The In
diana line connects with the Wabash
Avenue cable line at Eighteenth street
and extends southward to Fifty-first
street, midway between the other two
main lines which have been put in
operation. Owing to the withdrawal
of police and men to operate other
lines only, fifteen cars were operated
on Wentw\th avenue.
Except for a few stones on the
tracks there was no attempt to delay
the Indiana Avenue cars on their way
down town. Neither strikers nor
their sympathizers wore present in
any great numbers, due in a measure,
perhaps, to the cold, and the street
presented almost its usual appearance,
drivers being little inclined to inter
fere.
to follow the same course ana, in tact,
several of them already have opened
tnsiness relations with the govern
ment of Panama.

I
I House Continues Consideration of the
Cuban Bill.
Waslilngtoa, Nov. 19.The house re
sumed consideration of the Cuban
bill. Mr. Urosvenor (0.) opening the

Question and in this connection he said
the pohitioQ of the administration was
unastt)laW?-an would redound to the
glory of the American people.
Mr. Grosvonor said he would not
I permit his vote on this question to be
challenged as affecting his attitude on
the dominant question of protection to
American*industries. Speaking of tar
iff revision he said the Republicans
would revise tlie schedule when they
got ready to do so and in their own
way without any aid from the oppo
I site side of the house and that the re
vision would be made with special
reference the upbuilding $ Amor
fcan industries without disturbing
present conditions, lie observed that
nothing would be more destine ive
than to have the Democrats come into
power, but that was an impossibility,
for the next two years. Replying to
the remarks of Mr. Swanson (Va.~) he
said there need be no fear of retalia
tion from a country which could not
live ninety days without purchasing
food supplies from the outside.
i Mr. Richardson (Ala.) said tho ben-j
efit to the cotton industry of the South
which will result from the to per cent
reduction on the cotton schedule in the
Cuban treaty was the reason for his
support. There are other interests lh
volved in the treaty besides sugar.
The South, lie said, had increased the i
number of her cotton spindles in the
last two years three times the increase
of spindles in Great Britain and New
England combined.

Presidential Candidate.
Washington. Nov. 19.-Before sail
ing from New York for Europe Will
iam Jennings Bryan said that his first
choice as a Democratic presidential
candidate is Richard Olney of Mas
sachusetts. This report comes to
Washington in such a reliable way
that it receives credence.
it had been known for some time
that Bryan was in sympathy with tho
Olney candidacy, if such a thing ex
ists, but it was not expected here that
ho would go 8o far as to permit his
preference to become public at this
time.
After Bryan was nominated at Chi
cago in 189G there were only two mem
bers of Cleveland's cabinet who were
not opposed to him. One of these was
Richard Olney and the other was Hoke
Smith. Smith resigned because his
position was offeu!*e to President,
Cleveland.
