OPPOSITION TO THE '
PANAMA CANAL TREATY.
Developed Aaooc Members of Colombian
Coofreis President .Marroa.ilo Msy
Carry Oat the Nef otlnloos.
bt TtiegraDh to tha Morning Bur.
Washinoton. May 6. The latest
advices received here indicate that
President Marroquln, of Colombia, haa
almost decided not to call a apeoial
aeulon of the Colombian Congress, to
aet upon the Panama canal treaty.
When the call was Issued for an elec
tion of the members of the Colombian
Congress it was the intention to call
special session about the 11th in
atant, the call naming the Panama
treaty as the first subject to be con
sidered ; financial measures to follow.
But the opposition developed to the
treaty has been more pronounced than
the President supposed, and he has
thus far refrained from naming the
day of meeting, hoping that as the
election progressed the government
would be reasonably sure of a majority
to carry out its programme. But the
opposition continues to gain and the
prospects for a government majority
are sodoubtful that President Marro
quin now seems indisposed to act. In
that event, the Colombian Congress
would under the constitution assem
ble July 20th in regular session. At
that session it might take up the canal
treaty but much doubt is felt here as
to whether or not the treaty would be
taken up at all.
This outlook, however, does not dis
courage the officials who had to do
with the maklog of the treaty. The
United States government has gone so
far in its negotiations with Colombia
that confidence is felt here that Presi
dent Marroquln will feel himself bound
to carry out the engagements into
which he has entered. The .Colom
bian constitution contains some-peculiar
paragraphs enlarging the pow
ers of the executive in case of disturb
ed conditions beyond any degree
known in the United 8tates, and if
there is the slightest sign of forcible
opposition to the government or of
revolutionary uprisings, such as have
been hinted at in the stories from
Kingston, Jamaica, and from Isthmian
points, indicative of a purpose to sever
the isthmus from Colombian sove
reignty, the president may arrogate to
himself dictatorial power and himself
go to the length of ratifying the canal
treaty with the United 8tates. If he
does so, the United States government
will sustain the title thus acquired.

Qovernor Appealed to.
bt Telegraph to the Momma scar.
Lexington, Ky., May 6. A mes
senger who left the interior of Breath
itt county at dawn Monday to bear a
warning to Attorney J. B. Mar cum
that a plot to kill him had been form
ed the night before, reached Jackson a
few minutes after an assassin's bullet
had crashed through Marcum's brain
and heart, as he ntood in the oourt
house door. During Sunday night
Edward Strong, a friend of Marcum,
was informed that a conspiracy had
been entered into at a meeting of sev
eral desperate men at a "blind tiger"
three miles from Jackson, to assassi
nate Marcum Monday. At daylight
he sent a messenger to convey the in
formation to the attorney who lay
dead when he arrived. This state
ment was made by Mrs. Marcum in an
interview to-day. If the meeting at
the "blind tiger" Sunday night, told
of by the widow, can be proved, tbe
assassin and the plotters may yet be
known. -
An investigation must be strictly
within legal bounds, and it may be
Impossible even then to make the peo
ple feel secure in telling what they
know.
A newspaper man who arrived from
Jackson to-night described the situa
tion there by saying: N
"The town may be compared only
to a man sitting on a barrel of pow
der in a shower of sparks. When the
explosion will come no one knows,
but I believe it is inevitable. At least
three men know who assassinated
James Marcum, and though they are
silent it is believed their fate is sealed.
Such knowledge in Breathitt
means death or exile. There
are also others yt who know
who assassinated Jim Cockrell.
They will not be overlooked. If these
people remain or there, is the possi
bility of a rigid, investigation by the
law, I believe that they wi 1 bs put
out of the way at an early day. Sev
eral families are preparing to follow
the example of more than fifty people
who during the last six months have
fled the county. Male members will
leave immediately, and when they
have found a home the women and
children will follow."
A dispatch from Jackson, Ky., says
that the people not Involved in the
feud, contemplate calling on Governor
Beckham to bring peace to Breathitt
county. It is expected that the con
tingent with which Marcum was allied.
which includes the Influential family
of Postmaster tturst, Marcum's father
in-law, are uniting against the Cock
rell family, with a view of precipita
ting a fight. Conservative citizens
who are acquainted with either family
do not express surprise at the report.
Reward Offered.
Frankfort. Ky.. May 6. Gov
ernor Beckham this afternoon at the
request of the county judge of Breath
iu county, offered $500 reward for the
apprehension and conviction of the
unknown assassin of J. B. Marcum.
This is the highest reward permitted
by law.
BRITISH MONROE DOCTRINE.
Powers Notified Thst Attempt to Estsbllsh
a Naval Base In Persian Gall Means
War With Great Britain.
By Cable to tne Mornina star.
London, May 6. Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne has proclaimed a British
Monroe doctrine in the Persian Gulf,
and has practically notified the com
petlng powers that any attempt on
their part to establish a naval base or
fortified post in those waters means
war with great Britain.
"I say without hesitation," said the
foreign secretary, dealing with the
subject in the House of Lords yester
day, "that we should regard the es
tablishment of a naval base or a forti
bed port in tbe Persian uuif by any
other power as a very grave menace
to British interests, and we should
eertainly resist It with all the means
at our disposal."
Lord Lansdowne preceded this ex
plicit enunciation of British policy by a
review or tbe situation there, as It af
fected British Interests, contending
that so far as the navigation of the
Persian Gulf was concerned, Great
Britain held a position different to
thai of tbe other Powers, both because
it was owing to British enterprise and
expenditure of life and money that
the gulf was now open to the com
merce of the world, and because of
the protection of the sea route to
India.
. Lord Lati-Alowne's attitude in this
matter generally meets with approval
although tbe answers thereto from
the other powers interested in the
gulf are awaited with some anxiety

incorporate the Salisbury Railroad
Company, with a capitalization o
$25,000 and privilege to increase to
$2,500,000. This company is being

to be organized when $35,000 has
been subscribed. The route of the

By Telegram to the nomine star
1 Philabkuhia, May 6. Captain
James S. Tunnell, of the Clyde Line
steamer Saginaw, which was sunk
yesterday by the steamer Hamilton of
the Old Dominion Line, off the Vir
ginia coast, was brought here to-day
from Norfolk. He was accompanied I
by Chief Engineer J. N. Seizor, Assist
ant Engineer Murray and Second
Mate W. I. Morris. Captain Tunnell
is severely injured. Two of bis ribs
are fractured and his head in badly
acerated. He is also internally inr
jured and suffers greatly from shock!
tie was removed to his home, Uhter
Engineer Seizor reported at the office
of the company but the officials say
they will have no statement to make
until Captain Tunnell is able to give
an official account of the disaster.
Norfolk, Va., May 6. It came to
ight to-day that among -the passen
gers on the steamer Hamilton at tne
time of the disaster early yesterday
morning was Miss Schley, daughter of
Bear Admiral Schley of the navy, who
with other women passengers on the
Hamilton, assisted by the steamer's
stewardess, raised 195 in cash which
was distributed among the most of the
Saginaw's survivors. No advices have
been received here' from the scene of
the collision since yesterday. The
hydrographio office has charted the
Saginaw as a dangerous obstacle in the
path of coastwise shipping.
It is learned that the cargo of the
Saginaw while not complete, was very
valuable. It consisted of naval stores,
turpentine, rosin, tobacco, domestic
sheeting and yarns from factories
hereabouts and similar freight, its
exact value is not known, but one
hundred thousand dollars is mention
ed. The value of the Saginaw is said
by experts to have probably been about
$150,000.
Liocal mechanics this morning be
gan to patch tbe holes made in the
Hamilton's bow when she cut into the
stern of the Saginaw. Heavy iron
plates were riveted over those torn
away. The damage was about io,ouu.
A thorough inquiry will be made
into the collision. The supervising
inspector for the third district is
Capt. John-W. Oast, who has his
headquarters here. His district ex
tends from New-Jersey to Porto
Rico. The collision having occurred
in his district, It is probable that the
investigation will be held here.

An Incident of Everyday Life In the
Metropolis.
Into the secondhand shops of the
metropolis is continually pouring a
stream of finely made and little
worn garments of good material
that tell a sad story of decline from
better days by those who part with
the clothing.
Stylish dresses of finest cloth, of
silk and satin trimmed with lace, no
longer proper after financial re
verses, go into these shops and bring
to the former wearers a few dollars
that under changed conditions seem
60 much more than did the large
sums paid for them.
And into these shops go purchas
ers who desire goods better than
those they can afford to buy in the
firsthand stores, and so from those
who are going down to those who
are struggling up. go the finery and
substantial garments that are fitted
to serve two masters.
Into one of these shop3 the other
night there came a timid looking
woman, and when I saw her I step
ped into a corner darkened by a pro
fusion of hanging garments, for I
thought that she had entered be
cause she believed the woman in at
tendance to be there alone.
She asked to see some street
dresses, and a number were shown
her. The bargaining waa protract
ed. The saleswoman insisted that
her prices were low and that she
was really asking no profits' on her
goods, yet the other hesitated, while
dress after dresc was laid before her.
Finally a gray street dress was
spread before the customer.
"This is a great bargain," said the
shopkeeper. "You can have it for
$9.'
The woman raised it from the
counter and, instantly dropping it,
buried her face in her hands and
burst into tears.
"What is the matter?" asked the
other."
"That was my dress," she answer
ed, sobbing. "J ust a 3rear ago, when
misfortune overtook me, I 6old it to
an old clothes man for $2. I won't
buy a dress tonight."
With an effort she restrained her
tears, wiped her reddened eyes and
walked from the shop. New York

CATCH PHRASES.
frhclr I'tllity In Advancing: tbe In
terests of Basineti Hen.
i'lirro arc many instances "of where a
s:.'. c catch line well drilled Into
;. .:s been of great value in build-
.. .;:issr The best catch' line is
.. . :.i2ii tits your business best, and
i:scoverer of such a line Is apt to
i due more to inspiration than to ef
fort. Pick the distinctive feature of
your stock or business methods and en
deavor to express it iu a breath.
If you can coin a phrase tnat ex
presses your central business idea or
emphasizes some feature that marks
your store alone, you can make good
use of it. It puts into condensed form
an idea that will get hold of people
and influence them if persistently pre
sented to theiu. One fact about yom
business well lodged in the heads of
people is as good as a score tbat do not
penetrate.
You can make people believe about
what you like if you go about It prop
erly. If a man comes to you today and
tells you there will be a panic inside
of six months, you will pay no atten
tion to him. If another comes tomor
row with the same story, he will get
no attention, but you will idly wonder
what Is getting into folks. The third
man you will argue the matter with.
The fourth will get more of a hearing.
and you will begin to sec signs of dis
aster yourself. By the time the tenth
man has made the statement you will
be ready to tell folks the same story
yourself.
Probably you yourself could not be
influenced in such a manner, but the
common run of people are built that
way and will believe what they are
told often enough. That is why an
expressive catch phrase does good. It
comes to stand for you and your meth
ods and of necessity is remembered
when goods in your line are wanted.
As ordinarily used such u phrase is
of little value, because it i3 not proper
ly hammered into people. Such a line
should go on letter heads, billheads,
stationery, envelopes, should go into
every ad. or circular, should be seen
about the store and should appear on
labels. Put it on a sticker to attach to
goods and packages. Let people see
it everywhere. If lt-tfieans what it
6ay3, people are going to respond to It.

GOT RID OF THE HIRED MAN.
A friend who has about eighty acres
In crops to care for and who usually
keens one hired man to assist him Is
getting along without help this season
and doing pretty well at it too. He
keeDs two teams of horses, and he
went and bought a gang plow which
reauires the two teams. He got a
twenty-five foot drag and rigged a lit
tle cart behind it, so that he rides all
day. He will use a Jiay loader in the
field and a hay fork at the barn. His
wife has agreed to milk the two cows
and look after the garden and drive
the horse on the pulley when he fills
the barn with hay in consideration of
not having a hired man in the home to
provide for, and, while he may not
have wholly solved the problem this
year, he says that he will so shape his
work another season as to be inde
pendent of hired help even though he
does not do quite so big a business.
CORN FOR FODDER CROP.
We are asked about corn for a' purely
fodder crop. It's a big thing and hard
to beat We prefer the fore part of
June for planting. Drill in a bushel of
seed per acre (better more than less),
plant regulation width and aim to give
the crop two cultivations. . There will
be nubbins on the stalks so planted.
the stalks will be tall and slim and
may be cut, bound and shocked with a
corn harvester, and if properly put up
an acre of good corn land will thus fur-.
nish four tons or more of the best fod
der on earth, every particle of which
will be eaten by the stock. Where the
land can be spared this is even a better
way than to cut up the field corn, as it
Is so much nicer to handle. Try it for
the dairy.
POOR SEEDS.
We have run up against a lot of poor
garden seeds this spring not one sort,
but several sorts. They were purchased
from one of the most reliable seed
houses In the country, but for some
unknown reason not over 50 per cent
of the corn, beans, radishes, lettuce.
beets, peas, lima beans and parsnips
had vitality enough to germinate. This
is a very aggravating thing. The com
plaint Is quite general this spring and
may have Its origin In the abnormal
heat and drought of last season. In
this connection we might add that
there Is less complaint of poor seed
corn- for field planting than we have
ever known before.

HAWAIIAN FISHERMEN.
Hand and Teetk Plar a Part Ia
Capturing- the Octopna.
The native fisherman of Hawaii,
while an adept with the hook and line,
does not scorn to use his bands to cap
ture his prey when occasion arises.
The bonito is the fish most generally
caught with hook and line, and as the
hook used is of mother of pearl, made
from the shell of a mollusk now quite
rare, which glistens with an irides
cence similar to the shimmer from the
scales of the smaller kinds of fish on
which the bonito lives, no bait is need
ed. Tbe barb of these hooks is of
bone, and two tufts of hog's bristles
attached at right auglp>o the barbed
end keep tbe inner side ii, so that the
hook lies flat on the surface of tbe
sea. When a likely fishing ground
has been reached, the fisherman, stand
ing up in tbe canoe, casts out bis line
violently, so that the hook falls with
a slap on the water and attracts the
attention of the fish. The line and
hook are then drawn rapidly toward
the boat, as though it were a spoon,
and tbe bonito, taking the book to be
a small fish, rises to it immediately.
It is fortunate for the fisherman that
he has to waste no time in baiting his
hook, for this method of casting fright
ens the school, and the fish disappear
within ten or fifteen minutes.
An Ingenious plan by which very
large fish are caught is by planting a
long pole on the shore in such a posi
tion as to cause it to lean decidedly to
ward the water. On the top of this
a bell is arranged so that it can swing
clear of tbe top of the pole. A block
and fall are also attached to the pole
close to te top, and a long line, with
baited hook at the end, is run through
tbe block and allowed to float out to
sea, the land end being tied In a slip
knot to the bottom of the pole. As soon
as a fish is booked its struggles cause
the bell to ring, whereupon the fisher
man runs to the pole, loosens the slip
knot and plays the fish until he has
drowned it, when it is hauled ashore.
In fishing for octopus the native dives
to the bottom and with a stick pokes
around in the small holes In which the
octopus lives. When be touches one,
it seizes the stick and allows him to
draw it out of the hole. When be
reaches the surface, the native grabs
it with his hands and bites into the'
head, thus killing the animal.

Medicine Declare It
wife and mother, do not procrastinate;
listen to-day to the voice of reason,
and the pleadings and testimony of the
thousands of your sex who have been
made well and strong. Mrs. Jennie
Harris, Marlow, Indian, Ter., joyfully
writes about the medicine that makes
women well; she says :
"I have used one bottle of Paine's
Celery Compound, and am satisfied
that one bottle of this medicine has
done me more real good than any other
medicine that I have ever taken. I had
rheumatism of long standing, kidney
disease and female troubles, but since
taking Paine's Celery Compound I
feel altogether a different person. I
have used lots of othor medicines, but
never received any benefit until I used
Paine's Celery Compound."
