'The protocols of 1897 did not grant any new rights to the United States, much less the rights dominat ing this territory.

When this treaty was disap proved no new propositions Were made. ' ' . 'The orders given by the United States government to its navy helped to favor the secession movement and Colombia was at peace when this movement was begun.

San Francisco, Dec. 23. The Call says this morning that the organiza tion known as the Pacific Coast Lum bermen, which for two years past has controlled the export trade of the en tire poast, has gone to pieces, after a conference in this city yesterday, of the reprasentattves of the leading mlllmen of California, Oregon and Washington, As a result of the discussion of the or ganisation, the lumber interests of the coast, in' so far as- the export business is. concerned will, It is said, suffer a severe blow, for the maintenance of the present prises can not be hoped for, and it is estimated that the threatened competition that will naturally follow will mean a loss of about $1,000,000 a year to the producers along' the coast. The disruption Is attributed to the refusal on the part of the California representatives to sign a new yearly agreement unless certain modifications wer made in the rules of the associ ation -regarding the operating of the ex port business, a demand which was not compiled with. With the abandon ment of the producers' agreement, it is expected that there will be a lively cut ting in rates, and lumbermen predict that the price will go to $10 before many days have passed, which means a loss to the mills engaged in exporting ot $1,000,000 annually. . At present there is said to be an overproduction in , the northern mills and the foreign markets are reported to be wH supplied, a condition which does not augur Well for the future, so far as the mill men are concerned.
