SA II,liHT FOR COLOMBIA.
It Finds Itself In a State of Hank
riiptcy From Rebellion.
Washington, May 15. A gloomy pic
ture of the terrible plight in which
Colombia finds herself, as the result of
the exhausting four years of rebellion,
is contained in a communication which
has reached this city from a source of
unquestionable reliability. These ad
vices state that on March 1 last the
government gave notice that it had
etopped the issue of paper money that
was flooding the country, and had turn
ed the lithographic plates, from which
it was made, over to a committee com
posed of prominent members of different
political parties. Consequently the
. governmant early in April was almost
entirely without funds. It had not
enough to pay running expenses, to say
nothing of foreign claims and demands.
Not a cent of interest had been paid on
the national debt since the war com
menced in 1899. The claims growing
out ot the recent revolution were assum
ing tremendous proportions, and as
there were no other means of relief, it
was apparent that the government again
must have recourse to the lithographic
stones and start the presses running
again. Moreover, it was the general
opinion that even the small measure of
relief which might follow the receipt of
the $100,000 from the United States on
account of the Panama Canal could not
be obtained, as it was not expected that
Congress would ratify the treaty.
At one time last year, the exchange
on New York was 22,000; that is to say,
22,000 Colombian dollars were required
to purchase $1 worth of goods in the
United States. It was feared that the
rate would go even higher this Summer,
for there was over $1,000,000 worth of
this paper money afloat, and it was ex
pected that $500,000,000 more would be
issued immediately to pay war expenses
The loreign debt of 189G amounted to
12,700,000, on whioh the interest rate
was 22 and then 3 per cent, but this
interest has not been paid for several
years. It was the general opinion, ac
cording to the report, that the Colom
bian Government could not pay its debts
and apprehension was expressed as to
what might happen in case the foreign
creditors pushed for a final settlement
of their claims.
Looking: for an Old Itescrvolr Site.
Pilot Rock, Ore., May 15. A survey
is about to start on McKay creek for a
feasible reservoir site for the proposed
Butter creek irrigation proprsition which
the government will put in if satisfac
tory conditions are found to exist. The
failure to locate good natural sites in the
Echo butte country, as was fervently
hoped, forced the engineers to turn to
McKay creek for possible sites. A hasty
examination was made on this stream
near and beyond Pilot Rock, and a corps
ot surveyors is now to make a thorough
investigation. The result of their work
will have vital beating on the success
or failure of the Butter creek irrigation
scheme, which would cover 200,000
acres.
Sites exist on McKay creek, but their
capacity and the amount of expenditure
required to put them in reservoir shape
are yet to be determined. There is con
siderable anxiety among the hundreds
of holders of land under the probable
ditch line in western Umatilla and
northern Morrow, to many whom it
means a small fortune if the ditch goes
through. The first examination will
probably be made near what is known
as the Whittemore ranch on McKay,
and further survey at the forks is des
tined to follow. The work will be under
the general supervision of John T.
Whistler.
militiamen Unduly Alarmed.
Washington, May 14. Major William
W. Williamson, oi Savannah, connected
with the National Guard at Georgia, had
a conference with Secretary Root today
regarding the Dick militia law, and the
question whether under it militiamen of
one state might be called into service in
another state and made to do duty in
the suppression of insurrections and
wtrikes. Some, at least, of the Southern
militiamen wereopposed to being consid
ered in the United States service for
any such purpose.
Secretary Root informed Major Wil
hamBon that the Dick law did not
change the etatUB of the militiamen in
respect to any service that they might
be called on to perform. The duties
and control of the militiamen, he said,
were defined by the Constitution, and
remained as they had for more than 100
years. As to the suppression of in
purrections and disturbances by the
United States Government, in which
the Army of the United States would be
necessary, of course the regular Army
would be employed. The Secretary did
mt care to surmise beyond that point,
nor discuss what might happen in the
event the regular Army was not suf
ficient to meet any emergency which
might an'pe.

To Advance Merger Case.
Washington, May 14. Authorative
announcement was made today of the
intenton of the Attorney General to enter
a motion in the Supreme Court of the
United States Dext Monday to advance
the hearing of the Northern Securities
case, the appeal of which was docketed
recently in that court. It is altdgethe
probable that the court will grant the
motion, but it is not likely that the court
will take action on the motion before
the sitting on June 1, when the court
will be in session for the last time during
the present term. Hence there is no
possibility of the argument ot the case
before the court reconvenes on October
12. As assigned cases never are heard
during the first week of a term, the
earliest probable date for the hearing is
October 19.
The vast importance of the case wil
be given as the Attorney-General's
reason for asking the court to expedite it

Restores Dead to Lire.
Raising an interesting question as to
when life in animals actually becomes
extinct, Dr. Robert C. Kemp, who has
been conducting experiments here for
two years, has found it possible to re
store a dog to life alter its heart has
stopped beating for 16 minutes. v After
an examination the animal was officially
pronounced dead, yet Dr. Kemp, by
massaging its heart, so far brought it
back to life that it lived 24 hours, and
meanwhile it was so far restored to the
use of its faculties that it ate and drank.
In 11 out of 23 experiments of this
character, Dr. Kemp has succeeded in
"restoring dogs to life," and he is con
vinced that in the case of human beings
under different conditions the propor
tion of restorations would be greater.
In the case of the dogs he ascribes their
death after an interval of from two or
three to 24 hours not to failure of his
treatment, but to the fact that the dogs
could not be prevented from tearing
away the the bandages.
Only one such experiment has been
tried on a human being, and in that
case it was not successful.
