APPROVAL OF THE TREATY
Seems to Be Assured at Session of
Colombian Congress.
PANAMA. May 10. The convocation of
the Colombian Congress for January 20
is believed by those acquainted with gov
ernment affairs to mean that President
Marroquln is confident of having sufficient
sqpport to assure the approval ot tne
canal treaty.
Gerardo Puleclo. a prominent member
of the Conservative party, discusses the
canal question In the Correo Naclonal,
published at Bogota. He says the re
newal of the canal concession granted by
President San Clemento is legal, the gov
ernment having constitutional powers to
take this step. No company or European
government is willing to risk any money
in the canal venture after the De Les
sens failure; therefore the United States
only can undertake the construction of
the canal with chances of success. SenOr
Puelcio says as Colombia labors under' a.
load of KOiOOO.OOO pesos of paper money.
the present generation . and Its descend
ants must be saved. He proposes the fol
lowing plan:
The United States to pay Colombia for
the canal concession the sum of $23,000,000,
without discount, concession or reduction,
and $1100,00!) yearly for the canal zone.
Colombia to be free of any claims that
may arise against the canal company.
The United States Is to recognize the sov
ereignty of Colombia on the isthmus. The
other considerations put down by Senor
Puelcio are the same as those that have
been specified in the treaty.

Secretary. He feels that instead of the
Secretary of "War giving directions to
the commanding General, that these or
ders should emanate from the General
In command here In Washington.
Other Commanders Had Trouble.
In differing from the Secretary of "War
and the Administration, General Miles
has been like Sherman, who, when In
command of the Army, left "Washing
ton and went to St. Louis in a huff; like
Sheridan, who could not get along with
Secretary Lincoln; like General Schofleld,
who did not agree with the Secretaries
when he was commanding General of
the Army, but who recognized the con
dltions and decided to acquiesce In their
views, and like any other man who had
held the title of "commanding General'
under the present conditions.
The general -staff law may relieve this
situation of strained relations between
the Secretary and the commanding Gen
eral.

PRESIDENT'S RESTFUL DAT AT HO
TEL DEL MONTE.
Woald Not Review the Troops
Fort Monterey on Sunday
Today at San Jose.
HOTEL DEL MONTE. Cal., May 10.
President Roosevelt today spent ono of
the most restful Sundays, he has encoun
tered since his trip began. In one of the
most beautiful spots in California, two
miles from the nearest city, unhampered
by curious crowds, he has had a chance
to rest thoroughly and prepare for the
coming week, which promises to be one
of the busiest of his journey.
His train arrived here at midnight, but
ho did not leave it until about 9 o'clock
this morning. At that time Colonel "Ward
and a detachment of the Fifteenth In
fantry, who are stationed at Fort Mon
terey, headed by the regimental band, ar
rived at his car. After the President had
greeted the Colonel and his staff he was
driven" to the hotel, where he and his
party had breakfast.
At the conclusion of that meal the Pres
ident and a small party rodo horseback
over the famous 17-mlle drive along the
sea, wniie Governor Pardee and some of
the members of the President's party
drovo over the route In carriages. The
weather was all that could be desired and
the trip was greatly enjoyed by the Pres
ident, who was enthusiastic over the beau
tiful scenery.
In the afternoon ho attended St. John's
Chapel, on the hotel grounds. The serv
ices were conducted by Rev. Hobart Chet-
wood, the chaplain. At the conclusion of
tne services the President, Secretary of
tho Navy Moody, President Butler, of Col
umbla College, and President Wheeler, of
the University of California, spent a cou
ple of hours strolling about the hotel
grounds.
After dinner President Roosevelt held an
informal reception in one of the parlors of
the hotel. He shook hands with the guests
of the house and with the officers who
are stationed at Fort Monterey. Tho uni
forms of the latter and the handsome
dresses of the ladles made the scene a
brilliant one. ,
One of the incidents scheduled for today
tailed to materialize. When word was re
ceived at Monterey that the President
would ride over the sea road. Mayor John-
on appointed a committee of citizens of
that town to accompany him as a body
guard. The President did not learn of this
plan until he arrived here, when he
promptly vetoed it, saying he did not de
sire to have an escort on the ride. While
the committee did not go with him on the
ride, they met him on hla return through
Monterey and escorted blm to the hotel.
Secretary Locb late this afternoon made
some slight changes in the programme to
be observed at San Francisco. He de
clined to make them public here, prefer
ring that the committee in" that city shall
give them out.
The President will board his train
at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning and
make his first stop at Pajaro, where
he is scheduled to arrive at 8:50 o'clock.
Tomorrow night he will spend at San Jose,
San Francisco will be reached Tuesday
afternoon. It was the intention to have
the President review the troops stationed
at Fort Monterey, today, but he declined
to do so on account of Its being Sunday
He requested Colonel Ward to do away
with all formality, as he desired to spend
the day quietly and not participate In any
official functions. His wishes were re
spected, and tho only evidences of the
soldiers were the guards about the hotel
and detachments stationed along tho lino
of the ride to keep the road clear.

JETT IS IN JAIL. v
Alleged Lexington Murderer Cap-
tHrcd.WltaoHt TtohWc
LEXINGTON. Ky.. May I0.-Oirtls Jett,
charged with the assassination of H. B.
Marcum. was captured without bloodshed
at 3 o clock Sunday morning at the nomo
of his mother, Mra A. Haggin, near
Jackson's Ferry, by the posse that start
ed from Winchester at midnight. He later
was placed la Jail at Winchester. When
tho posse arrived at the Haggin home tne
woman admitted, after some parleying,
that Jett was in the house, and per
mitted the officers to enter! Jett was
found In bed. He shook bands with the
Sheriff, said he would surrender without
trouble and handed his revolver to his
mother.
In Jail Jett refused to. talk about the
killing of Marcum, except to say, "I'll
get out of this, all right."
When asked in reference to the atate-
ment that five men would testify that he
killed Marcum, he sneered and replied,
What's that to you?"
Jetts stepfather. Haggin. asserts that
when Jett reached his house last night
he drew a revolver and ordered him from
the neighborhood. Haggin went to Rich
mond and swore out a warrant charging
him with assault. After his arrest, Jett
denied that he drove- his stepfather from
home. Jett was bitter in denouncing his
uncle for causing his arrest and said
that the score "would bo evened up"
when ho was released.
Jett will be arraigned on Tuesday.
Tho report that J. B. Ewen was shot
at Jackson last night Is untrue. Ewen
was with Marcum when tho latter was
assassinated last Monday.
IT WAS NOT A HOAX.
Clock in Box of Dynamite Would
Have Run Thirty Hours.
NEW YORK, May 10. The police so far
have failed to solve the mystery surround
ing the box of dynamite left on the Cu
nard Line dock. There is a division of
opinion among the officials as to whether
the matter was intended to be a hoax or
not, but all agree that the possibilities of
a great explosion and a great loss of life
were many.
Superintendent Georgo E. Murray, of the
Bureau of Combustibles, said today that
there were no detonating caps attached to
tho dynamite sticks, and that without
these caps It Is not likely that tho dyna
mite would have exploded from a fuse.
H6 says, however, that if tho box had
been given a sudden Jar at the time the
fuse burned down to the dynamite, an ex
plosion might have resulted. He said also
that he has experimented with the clock
work, and concluded that it had run about
five hours when found, and that it bad
about 30 hours beforo operating the levor.
He does not believe that a hoax was in
tended.
Inspector McCluskey can advance no
theory on the case. He said he would
have to wait until the results of his efforts
to learn who sent the box had borne some
fruit. He had a score of men at work all
day endeavoring to locate the wagon in
which the box was carried to the Cunard
pier.
Police Commissioner Green said today
that it bad been suggested to him that the
whole thing was a hoax, but that the sug
gestion would not divert him from his
purpose of having tho matter sifted to the
bottom.
"It Is too grave a matter," he said, "to
be considered lightly, even If proved a
hoax. I shall try to find the person or
persons who placed thedynamite on tho
pier. The offense is punishable by im
prisonment for 20 yearet and to prevent
repeated attempts of this kind an exam
ple should be made of some of the par
ticipants in the affair."

Ho knows that I despised him. and I
hopo they will make him pay dearly for
shooting both of us."
Walter P. Kuntz Is secretary of
local coal company. In Jail today he said

Governor Odell Sits at Hanna'a Feet
and Roosevelt Ckata Cleveland
One Great Crush.
St. Louis Special.
The scene on the little 10x15 platform
from which the President and the rest
spoke In the dedication of the Exposi
tion buildings was one that must long re
main in the memories of those who were
fortunate enough to bo there.
The hurly-burly rush, like a football
push through the center, with which the
secret service men. President . Nicholas
Murray Butler and a number' of other
distinguished gentlemen in their ranks
pushed the President through the massed
crowd of tens and tens of thousands was
In itself excitement enough for one day.
It landed him on the little platform out
over the great floor, five times as large as
that of Madison Square Garden. There
were following rushes headed by police
officers. One of them brought ex-Presl-dent
Grover Cleveland, smiling, philo
sophically, in on its crest; another landed
Senator Hanna. Commissioner Thomas
H. Carter and President Francis came in
on another.
President Roosevelt and Mr. Cleveland
got into a corner and were seated. A new
wave of humanity broke and Secretary
Root stepped out of it. Secretary Hitch
cock climbed in from somewhere over a
railing. A great cry went out for a gavel.
There was no gavel. A detective broke
the handle from his umbrella and handed
it up. Mr. Francis pounded with It vlgor
ously upon the rail. Nobody on the stand',
even, could hear a sound.
"Gratifying exercise for Mr. Francis,"
observed the President to Mr. Cleveland.
'but not impressive."
Mr. Cleveland shook his head and
laughed silently.
"There's a man out here." announced a
St. Louis detective, "says his name Is
Potter, and has a right to come in. Does
it go?"
"Tho Bishop, by George!" exclaimed the
President, roaring with laughter.
Bishop Potter was brought In, lugging
his own black suit case. In which was his
Cambridge University- robe, which he
donned.
Mr. Francis pounded some more with
tho umbrella, handle.
"Make way for the Governor of New
York State,' howled a volunteer master
of ceremonies. Nobody mado way. If a
deliberate effort had been made to be
little the chief executive of the State of
New York more to that end could not
have been accomplished than has been
done in St. Louis since he got here.
There was nothing left for the Governor
except to butt In. He did. Ho squeezed
In between the secret service men, and
discovered, somewhat to his surprise, ap
parently, that no seat was there for him.
Governor, sit on the floor," announced
an anonymous voice.
Governor Odell, who seemed somewhat
dazed by the way things were going.
promptly sat on the floor between the
feet of Secretary Root and Mr. Hanna.
General Corbln got in. Governor Yates.
of Illinois, got as far as tho secret serv
ice row and stopped. So did Governor
Bailey, of Kansas. Chief of Police Kiely
found himself stepping heavily on the feet
of a large, pleasant-faced man in the
aisle back of the platform. Ho apolo
gized.
"Don't mind. It's all right," said the
trampled one, sweetly, 'Tin only a poor
little Governor."
It was Wells of Utah.
There wero 15 other Governors around
somewhere, but nobody knew whero they
were.
The President discovered Governor Odell
sitting at Senator Hanna's feet. "Pleased
to see you, at last, sitting at the feet of
Gamaliel In earnest," he said.
Governor Odell forced a smile. Mr.
Francis evidently concluded that orde
was not to be obtained with a broken
umbrella handle and called on ex-Sen
ator Carter to preside.
Senator Carter made a speech which not
a soul heard and in pantomime introduced
Cardinal Gibbons. The spiritual dignity
of the cardinal, the sight of the red cap
on his head, quieted the people a little
and a few words of what he said could be
heard. When he reached the Lord's
Prayer a great volume of voices went
up. Those on the platform could hear
President Roosevelt's and ex-President
Cleveland's voices above that of the car
dlnal.
While President Francis was speaking.
the sun came out and the great barn-like
structure became as light as day. Above
the continuous, surflike shouting of the
crowd rose a tremendous cheer of greet
ing to the flood of yellow light.
The cheering when Mr. Francis intro
duced the President lasted fully SO sec
onds before the President began to talk.
He followed his usual tactics and got
upon the rail of the inclosure, a somewhat
precarious Presidential perch, but one on
which he was fully visible to the -whole
multitude. This occasioned another 90-sec-
ond cheer.
At one point in his speech, which was
delivered with the whole power of his
lungs, some of the people down In front
caught a phrase or two and began to
applaud. This chance for an outburst
was taken up by the crowd and spread
all over the hall.
The President turned to Mr. Francis and
yelled down at him, "That wasn't for the
sun, anyway."
Mr. Francis bowed his acknowledgments
with mock humility, and the speech went
on. The crowd broke in with another tre
mendous cheer.
"Gratifying," commented the President,
in a shout to those behind him, "but not
over-lntelllgible."
When ex-President Cleveland roso tho
cheering was every bit as big as it had
been for the President, and lasted Just
as long SO seconds.
Mr. Cleveland, who had agreed with tho
President earlier that the whole perform
ance was a great farce, as far as oratory
was concerned, read doggedly and rapidly
through the manuscript, in spite of the
fact that his voice was by no means equal
to one-hundredth of the task Imposed
upon It-
In the grandstand men in their heavy
dvercoats shivered, while women, garbed
in elegant but Inadequate laces, suffered
more severely. Mrs. Odell, wife of the
Governor of New York; Mrs. James L.
Blair, president of the Exposition Board of
Lady Managers, and a number of others
found relief In thick Army blankets fur
nlshed by Captain Larimore, of the First
Missouri. The supply was soon exhausted
and the attentive Captain was left dlscon

cheered to. the echo. He bowed again
and again, suggesting toy nls manner that
quietbe restored, Finally he aoaated tae
broad railing in front of the rostrum,
where he could be seen from every part of
therhalL and motioned for silence. There
was everything but silence, and President
Francis suggested that he proceed with
his speech and quiet would follow.
President Roosevelt laughed and shook
his head. Taking advantage of a lull, he
called: "Now you, my fellow-citizens,
give mo all tho chance you can, for I
need it."
The chance was given, and the Presi
dent began his address. A burst of ap
plause greeted a statement that the Dutch
had done great things for the country in
its infancy, and the President laughed in
a manner which plainly said, "That means
my ancestors."
During the speeches of President Fran
cis and ex-Senator Carter there were brief
intervals of sunshine, and the crowd
cheered loudly as the brightness came.
Once, while waiting for applause to sub
side during his speech, the President
turned to President Francis and ex-Senator
Carter, saying, as he alluded to the
applause, "That was due to tho sun."
The same thing happened for the sec
ond time In a few minutes, and he re
marked. "That's the sun again."
So many people were standing on their
chairs and those behind them produced
so much outcry In consequence that at
ono time the President was compelled to
halt In his remarks to say, "Won't you sit
down? If you do, the people behind you
will see hetter," and as they granted his
request he added, "Thank you."
Another outburst of applause, which
was long continued after he had spoken
about 15 minutes, caused him to laugh
and remark to President Francis, "Now
they think I'm done," and when the ap
plause died away ho went on with his
speech.
Sergeant Roy MacLeay, drum-major of
the Sixty-fifth Regiment Band, of New
Yoru was one of the most striking indi
vidual figures in the parade. He wore a
huge white shako and was bothered, evl-
dentiy, by the attentions of a diminutive
negro. Once he lost his dignity com
pletely and cuffed the boy. who fell
sprawling into the arms of a police officer,
which ended his career as mascot to the
giant drum-major.
While the parade was all that the mosfl
enthusiastic and patriotic citizen could
desire to see. It was when the doors of '
the Liberal Arts building were thrown
open that the trouble began. There was
a woeful lack of system In handling the
crowd, men, women and children rushing
Into the mammoth structure and stamped
ing up and down the aisles like a herd of
Texas steers surrounded by a pack of
ravenous wolves.
The ushers were conspicuous for their
incompetency, people having checks hav
ing to find seats as best they could, oft-
times only to be crowded out by persons
possessed only of general admission tick
ets, women being the worst offenders in
this respect.
The moment the doors were thrown open
to the general public the crowds rushed
Into every aisle, packing them to suffoca
tion and crowding over on to those who
were provded with seats.
Of the thousands of troops which par
ticipated in the exercises, not one soldier
had been detailed to keep even a sem
blance of order in the Liberal Arts build
ing, which has a seating -capacity of 35,
000. When Cardinal Gibbons rose to deliver
the invocation, catcalls and shrill whistles
from the rear of the vast concourse ren
dered his words almost inaudible. Even
the Lord's Prayer did not succeed In
quelling the hoodlum Instinct so rampant.
An interesting incident occurred as the
Ohio troops passed. The leading regi
ment came forward, marching to the lively
music of the "Fisher's Hornpipe." which
not only, gave spring to the step of the
troops, but movement to the feet of the
spectators and buoyance to the President.
Mr. Roosevelt clapped his hands and
swayed his body in time with the music.
This added to the enthusiasm of the spec
tators, and was not overlooked by the
drum-major, who led the band. That Im
posing functionary halted in front of the
President, swinging his baton In the di
rection of the reviewing stand, and In re
sponse his musicians faced the President
and played a bar of the muslo before re
suming the onward march.
Some of the diplomats and a number of
other distinguished visitors mounted the
reviewing stand to find that there were
no chairs for them. It developed that the
chairs had bien Aeerfully appropriated
by unofficial guests who had arrived early
on the scene. With some difficulty other
chairs were secured, but they were little
used, as the visitors found they could keep
off the chill more effectively by standing.
MACHINE SHOP ABLAZE.

Near Steel
A fire of unknown origin broke out in

at Hollldav avenue and Larrabee street
at 1:40 this morning. The flames started
in the intersection of two shed buildings.
and quickly burned through the roof.
Chemical 3, hose 1 and engine 7 responded
to the call, which came from box 237. The
interior of the shop was- flooded with
water and the damage from this source
will prove a3 great as that of the fire.
A part of the shop Is used for bicycle
repairing, but this was not damaged by
the fire to any extent. The loss is prob
ably in the neighborhood of $200, but as
neither of the owners were on the scene
it could not be definitely learned.

Lake Lanao Country Is Thoroughly
Facia ed Natives Sentenced for
Harder of Marines.
MANILA, May 10. Captain Pershing
and hla column have returned to Camp
Vickars, Mlndlnao, from the expedition
through the country east of Lake Lanao.
Tha column experienced no opposition af
ter the fighting at Taraca.
The prisoners captured at Taraca took
the oath of allegiance to the United States
and were released. Among, the Moros
killed in Taraca forts were nine dattos
and one Sultan. The moral effects of this
fight will be far-reaching, and it Is doubt
ful if there will be any further hostility
in the Lake Lanao country.
Captain Pershing estimates the popula
tion of Taraca at 30,000 and that of tha
district at 100.000. He says the popula
tion of the Lake Lanao district has beea
underestimated.
Four natives have been found, guilty of
the murder of three American marines at
Olangapo, Sublg Bay, last September, and
have been sentenced to death.
