It Is said that the President desires to make Root promt Sent In politics with the Idea of placating tho opposition to the present National Administration, which Is said to exist in financial circles in New York. ilr.

All Colon and the Isthmus of Panama is in a fever of ex citement and widespread disappointment prevails over the rejection of the canal treaty by the Colombian Senate. Hlgn authorities on the Isthmus express the opinion that President Roosevelt possibly may insist on the right of the United States to purchase the canal enterprise from the French company, Colombia hav ing sactioned the sale and take immedi ate steps to show Colombia that tne united States Is determined to go througn with the matter, at the same time in forming tho Colombian government that tne onstacies in tne way or. me iranaier, viz., the questions of money and the sovereignty and Jurisdiction over the property Involved, etc, are questions for subsequent settlement and possible ar bitration at The Hague. Other people think that Colombia will soon recognize tne senousners 01 ner mistake in not ratifying the treaty, as the United States and European nations will lose no time in enforcing their claims on Colombia. Oscar Teran. one of the members of Congress for the Isthmus, writing to friend here about a week ago, said: 'The opinion of the Senate, as far as It is possiblo to judge. Is opposed to rati ncatlon, and probably the treaty will be rejected on the ground that It Is an open violation of the constitution of the Re public, which does not provide for a ces slon of territory or sovereignty. If the treaty Is .rejected by the Senate that will be on end of it. If it Is passed by the Senate It must go to the House of Repre sentatives, as ratification, according to our laws, must be accorded by both Houres." Minister Deanpre Cables the Xe-irn. "WASHINGTON. Aug. 17. A cablegram dated August 12 has been received at the State Department from Minister Beaupre. at Bogota, saying the Panama canal treaty has been rejected by the Colom bian Senate.

This is accounted for by the fact that tho honor of heading tho ticket Is conceded in advance to Judge John Barnes, of Madison County, who will be nominated as Justice of the Su preme Court by acclamation. All the preliminaries of the convention have been so well arranged in advance that it is doubtful If any caucuses will be held up to the time of meeting.

Success "Would Mean Encroachment Upon Colombian Sovereignty. BOGOTA. Aug. 17. The reason given for the rejection of the treaty by the Colom blan Senate. It is said here, was the al leged encroachment of Colombian sover eignty, which Its opponents contended would result from the treaty. This In formation was contained In a dispatch received tonight by Dr. Hernfran, the Co lomblan Charge, from Foreign Minister Rlcos. at Bogota. This dispatch showed that in its present form the treaty was absolutely lnacceptable to the Senate, for the reason heretofore stated, and that It had been rejected unanimously. The view taken by the Senate was at variance to that held by the Government of Colombia, which foil satisfied when It submitted the treaty to Congress that there would be no impairment to Colom bian sovereignty it the treaty should be ratified. Incidental to the general ques tion of sovereignty necessarily was that of the lease of the strip of land through which the canal was to be constructed and teh debate in the Colombian Senate Indi cated that that body regarded this as amounting to a sale of the land, therefore objectionable. "When the treaty was sub mitted to the Senate by the committee to which It had been referred, seven of the Senators favored it with certain amend' nicnts. which they proposed, and the re maining two opposed It absolutely. The amendments proposed by tho majority are not stated here, but they evidently ferred to the question of sovereignty, as Is Indicated by the subsequent rejection of the treaty In its present form. An Interesting feature of the whole de bate on the Colombian Senate and the committee's report favoring the treaty Is jsald o be the entire absence of reference to th question of Indemnity offered by the United States for the right of way. It was generally supposed that this would cut a considerable figure in the discussion of the subject In Colombia, but the ques t! n of money consideration. It Is said, fptlefl away and was replaced by the cov er lgnty issue. It is rumored toftay that President Mar roquln has been authorized by Congress t- make a new treaty which will not re q'l're further ratification, but that the bssls given for tho treaty will probably prove unacceptable to the United States.

Great Philippine Problem Is Abont Solved by Root. "WASHINGTON. Aug. 17. Secretary Root has been in correspondence with Govern or Taft regarding the construction of a system of railroads In tho Philippine Islands amounting to some 600 miles. It Is proposed to build a line from Manila north through Luzon to- a harbor at the northernmost end of the island. Another projected line Is a branch from the north and south line over the mountains to the Eastern Coast. Another proposed line Is from Manila south to B a tan gas. It has been suggested also that a line be con structed along the "West Coast of Luzon from Dagupan. the present terminus or the Manila & Dugapan Road, to the north end of the island. The propositions contemplate aid by the Filipino government In the proposed roads. It Is believed a guarantee of the Interest on the amount of the cost of tho roads. In case the roads prove unable to pay such Interest out of the earnings, will be suffi cient to induce capital to Invest in the different enterprises. The Philippine gov ernment could not make grants of lands to aid In the construction of the roads. but it could grant rights of way. It has been determined that the Philip pine government has the authority to guarantee the interest on the railroad bonds, the payment of Interest, If made. to constitute a lien on tho railroad prop erty. The Secretary of War believes the construction of these roads would be of Immense benefit and would settle ior all time the question of possible lnsurrec Hons In the Island of Luzon. Engineers have been making surveys In the islands and railroad men have been In consultation with the Secretary of "War on the subject which has reached such a stage that it is believed early action will be taken looking to the building of rail ways on an extensive scale.

Signs of Polluted. Blood. There is nothing so repulsive looking Sad disgusting as an old sore. You worry over it till the brain grows -weary and work, with it until the patience is exhausted, and the very sight of the old festering, sickly looking place makes you irritable, despondent and desperate. A chronic sore is the very best evidence that your blood is in an. unhealthy and impoverished condition, that your constitution is breaking down under the effects of some serious disorder. The taking of strong medicines, like mercury or potash, will sometimes so pollute and vitiate the blood and im pair the general system that the merest scratch or bruise results in obstinate non-hcaling sores of the most offensive character. Often an inherited tain tbreaks out in frightful eating sores upon the limbs or face in old age or middle life.

According to Infor mation In possession of diplomats In Lon don, there is no reason at this moment to fear that there are differences between the powers in respect to Macedonia, or that the trouble will spread beyond the confines of Turkey. One of these, who Is participating in the exchange of notes re garding the situation, said to a repre sentative of the Associated Press today: "The powers are acting harmoniously. Nothing has developed to Indicate any suspicion or cause for suspicion of the motives underlying the demands made by Russia on the Porte. A full exchange of views has occurred between the powers Interested. Mr. Balfour's statement In the Com mons outlining Great Britain's attitude and the warnings of Austria and Russia to Bulgaria prove that these three nations are In accord, and the advices received at my Embassy show that France and Germany approve the policy of Russia and Austria. War Detween Turkey and Bul garia might lead to a general conflagra tion. It Is to prevent complications ot such a grave character that every effort Is being made by the powers to maintain peace between those countries. ."Within S hours the Russian squadron will reach whatever point has been se lected. There is no doubt that the sole object of this movement Is to make Tur- key understand that Russia's demands must be complied with without delay. I have confirmatory advices as to the gen eral character of the revolution. Turkey has a free hand so far as the military op erations within her own territory are con cerned, but the suppression of the revolt is not a matter of a week, and the longer It drags the greater fear of International complications, which all powers are zeal ously laboring to prevent."

Prince Chlng made one defense after an other until all werp exhausted. He first argued Russian opposition to the open ing of these ports. He then said he was not informed that Russia had consented to the opening. Finally he refused on tho ground that China was unable to open towns which were held by another power.

The most precise details, dates, places and names of persons are given In the memorandum. the whole constituting a terrible cate gory or murder, torture, mcenaiansm, pillage and general oppression committed by the Ottoman soldiers and officials. These particulars were obtained entlre- v from omciai sources sucn as tne repre sentations of Bulgarian Consuls and agents of the Bulgarian government, and In many instances the reports made by Turkish authorities. The Bulgarian gov ernment guarantees the absolute truth of every statement and challenges the Porte to disprove a single charge made In the memorandum. The memorandum begins by stating that during the past three months the Ottoman government has taken a series of measures with the alleged intention of Inaugurating the era of promised re form and of assuring peace and tran quillity to the Bulgarian population of European Turkey, but which have had the con.trary effect of further exasperat ing this population and reviving the rev olutionary movement. Instead of pro ceeding solely against persons guilty of breaches of the public order the military and civic authorities have sought every possible pretext to persecute, terrorize and ruin the Bulgarian Inhabitants alike In the large cities and In the small vil lages. Wholesale massacres. Individual mur ders, the destruction of villages, the pil laging and setting fire to houses, the ar rests. Ill treatment, tortures, arbitrary imprisonment and banishment, the clos ing and disorganizing of churches and schools, the ruining of merchants, the col lection of taxes for many years in ad vancesuch proceedings, the memoran dum says, are the acts of the Ottoman ad ministration of Monastlr, Uskub and Adrianople. The memorandum relates in detail a number of such cases in each vilayet. Beginning with the vilayet of Salonlca, It states that in the town of Salonlca Itself. the Bulgarian professors of the uni versity, the students and shopkeepers, in fact, all the intelligent Bulgarians in the city have been cast into prison. One hundred and twenty soldiers entered the village of Gorna-Rlbnltea May 19 and tortured to death five men and two women. During the first three weeks of July 25 villages In the district of Tlkvesch were subjected to the depreda tions of the Turkish soldiers and bashi- bazouks. The villagers were beaten and tortured, the women violated and the houses plundered while the administra tive authorities took no action. In the vilayet of Monastlr. artillery bombarded and razed the flourishing town of Smerdesch, S00 houses being left a heap of ruins. At the beginning of July two Greek bands, with the con nivance of the authorities, plundered Bulgarian houses. In the vilayet ot Us kub, the entire Bulgarian population has been systematically persecuted since last May. In Palanja, Kollschinl, Koumanovo and Gostlgar, the prisons are Ailed with Bul garian priests, schoolmasters and mer chants. During June the soldiers and that without exaggeration the number of prisoners may be placed at even three times this total. Praises Church-French Concordat. PARIS, Aug. 17.
