Columbian Senators Reject the
Hay Herran Treaty.
THE VOTE IS UNANIMOUS
Negotiations Xliat Have EJeen Pend
iiijj Jlust 1e Transferred
To N icarasrua.
Washington, Au gust 17. Official in
formation was received today that the
Colombian Senate had unanimously re
jected the Hay Herran canal treaty.
This means more delay in providing
the waterway the Pacific Coast so ear
nestly desires. It is a blow and a bard
one, too, to the Colombians who have
invested in real estate on the supposi
tion that the treaty would be ratified.
The non-success of the treaty would
seem to vindicate 'the advocates of tbe
Nicaragua scheme. The Panama Ca
nal proposition baa served its purpose
in postponing for three or four years
any actual work upon a canal. The ne
gotiations that have been pending so
long between the United States and
Columbia must now be transferred to
Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
Before the United States took up
Panama, and while it had never com
mitted itself to the Panama route, it
might have been able to have made sat
isfactory arrangements with Nicaragua
and Costa Rica. Now that the United
States is shut out of Colombia, the de
mands of Nicaragua and Costa Rica
will, no doubt, be largely increased, as
that is the only route left under the
present arrangement.
There is talk about the Province of
Fanama seceding from Colombia and
establishing i:self as a separate state, in
which event it could negotiate a treaty
with the United Spates for a canal. That
may be introduced as another element
of delay in canal construction, which
will be on a par with the subterfuges
that have been used for many years to
prevent anything being done. Under
the law the President can betrin at once
negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica, but some time ago he gave an in
timation that the United States, by ne
gotiations with the Panama Canal Com
pany and Columbia, had acquired cer
tain rights in the canal property. This
did no good, so far as indicating that an
attempt might be made to enforce the
rights regardless of the adoption of the
treaty by the Colombian government ;
still there was an intimation that the
Colombian Congress was not all-powerful
in settling the canal question.
The Administration has for a long
time been most favorable toward the
the Panama Canal as againstNicaragua,
and there is a possibility that the Pana
ma Canal route will not be given up
without further effort on the part of the
United States Government to secure
the construction of the canal at that
point on the isthmus.
Victory for the "Open Door."
Pekin, Aug. 17. The arrangement
made by Minister Conger for the sign
ing of a treaty between China and the
United States providine for the opening
of Mukden and Tatung Tao on the
strength of Russia's promise of (final
evacuation of Manchuria, ends the
stubborn resi9tar.ee by the Chinese,
which for some time promised to be
successful.
Prince Ching mada one defense after
another nntil all were exhausted. He
first tirgued Russian opposition to ihe
epening of these ports. He then pa d
he was nt informed that Russia hrd
consented to the opening. Finally he
refused on the ground tl at CI ina v as
unable to open towns which were held
by. another power. When the present
settlement was proposed with the ex
planation that China must presume that
Russia intended to fulfill her evacuation
agreement, Prince Ching reluctantly
nave in.
Tatung Tao i a small port which
does not promise mticn business to at
tract foreigners in t hi e near future. Its
opening is mainly important as a vie
to'' for the open door principle.
On fOquiil Footing;.
Salem, Or., Aug. 15. The State Board
of Education has recently made a ruling
to prevent the graduates of Normal
schools of other states from securing
state papers in this state, unless they
have passed examinations the same as
are now required of graduates of Oregon
Normal Schools.
The reason for this is that the board
will not give to certificates and diplomas
of other states a higher credit than is
given to similar papers in this s'ate.
This rulirg is in a measure a matter of
protection to the Oregon tepcher, who
is not r q'dred to take a state examina
tion whatever his or her graduation nay
be. In announcing the ruling, the State
Board gave out the following brief
statement :
Th State Board of Education is not
authorized to irJorse a Btate paper from
another state, unless it was secured in
consequence of an examination conduct
ing the paper. In other words, a state
paper issued from another state in
consequence of a graduation from an in
stitution of learning cannot be indorsed
by the Oregon Stnte Board of Education.
"If applicants would bear the above
ruling in mind, when making applica
tions for state papers, much time and
annoyance to all concerned would be
avoided."
!t often occurs that a teacher comes
to Oregon from an Eastern state and has
a state diploma secured in pursuance of
graduation from a Sta'e Normal school
after an examination before members of
the faculty of the school. Such teach
ers applv to the State Hoard of Educa
tion for a state paper in Oregon upon
the credit of the paper they a'ready
hold. The l'W upon t e subject au
thorizes the boad to grant state paperg
upon tbe credit tf f-uch papers from an
other state, "provided the board is
satisfied that said papers were Becured
by passing an exomination equivalent
to that given by the State Board of
Education of this state for state papers.
Teachers who come here from the
East put a liberal construction upon the
word "equivalent," but the State Board
of Education, being the state judge in
the matter, holds that "equivalent"
means not only that tbe examination
not onlv be upon satisfastory subjects,
but thnt the exrmination mnst have
been conducted by state authorities.
Any more liberal rule wou'd be giving

Kain Causes Flood.
Kansas City, Aug. 17. Boats are
again being used to transport persons
between the two Kansas Cities, the
James-street foot and wagon bridge and
the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany's bridge over tbe Kansas River
having been carried out by the strong
current. The river is higher than at
any time since the June flood, and other
structures are in danger. The wrecked
bridges are temporary affairs, construct
ed hastily two months ago. A further
rise is expected as half a dozen tribu
taries to the Kansas west of here are
bankful.

New York, and in 1908 lor Pres Hent of

that the order will then present an
