BOTH SIDES WANT THE CANAL.
Colombian- Miniater at Washington
.Wants a Treaty Negotiated.
Washington, Aug. 19. While the In
ternational disturbances of Colombia
are disquieting, there Is no warrant
for Jumping to tne conclusion that the
Panama canal program Is seriously en
.dangeied. There 's no need of imme
diate action, since the necessity of In
vestigating the French company's

delay In aecuring an agreement which
would allow the Colombian congress to
- convene In ample season, since both
the Conservatives and the Inurgents
want the canal. It should also be
noted tat tho responsibility tor main
taining order and preserving neutral
ity along tha route of tho canal would
fall upon the United States by the
terms of whatever treaty is negotiated,
and so tho condition of affairs there
will really have nothing to do with the
safety of our waterway, once a treat)
is agreed upon. Similarly, noil nor Co
lombian faction would be able to over
ride the action of the other in dealing
with the United States, since recognl
tion by this powerful republic of a
rightful government there would b
final, so far as our relations with it
were concerned.
The greater danger to the pending
negotiations comes from possible mis
chief makers, who might want to se
the Panama proposal fell In the Inter

of no canal at all. Counteracting such
influences, should they be discovered,
would doubtless be the activity of the
Frencu company, which would not to
see Its transaction fall at this stage
through perversity of the Colombian
government.

Nowport, Aug. -19. The Newport
reaHng room, Newport's fashionable
club, was the scene vt a suicide yes
terday afternoon, the. hut chapter ol
a romance that haa attracted atten
tion for more than n year.
Robert Redding Remington, who had
.spired to the' band of Misa May Van
Alen. the elder daughter of James J.
Van Alen, and baa been rejected, shot
himself In tho bead with n 37 caliber
revolver. Dearth' was' almost instan
taneous. There were two wounds.
The bullet, that ended his life entered
the mouth and penetrated tbo brain,
The suicide took place III a quiet room
of the clubhouse when- but few were
present, aud those tcjv were seated
on the plaza some distance away,
Remington went to tho clubhouse
about 1:3" c clock and called for the
dally papers. After ionising them n
little while on tho piazza he proceed
ed upstairs to a pail of the building
which Is not occupied a great deal In
the summer time, lie bad not been
there very long when two shots were
heard.
Daniel H. Fearing, a member of the
club, was tn the clubhouse wlthon or
two other gentlemen, and they heard
the pistol reisirts, but did not attach
any significance to them. Some min
utes later the barber of the club, over
whoso room the library Into which,
Remington went is located, appeared
and asked in regard to tbo plato
shots. It was then decided to make
an Investigation, and the gentlemen
on the piazza, with Mr. Fearing and
his companions, went to the library
and found Remington dead tn tbo
floor. Near bis side was the 38-caU'
ber revolver with which the deed wa
done. The lace as covered with
blood from the wound In the forehead,
and crimson stains were on tho cheek
from the blood which ooaled from tho
mouth.

mediate cause of his suicide was the
breaking off by Miss Vuu Alen of the
ngagement which had ' existed ' be
tween them. This took place some
months ago, but the fact did not leak
out until last week. When the an
nouncement was made Remington nt
once stated that the relations of him
self and Miss Van Alen remained un
changed,, and that their marriage
would take placo In the fall.
Shortly after the. suicide word was
sent to Mr. Van Alen of Remington
