Oar dispatches on Monday evening bronghtnewi of the rejection of Mr. flsy's trasty itb Colombia for-1be right of way (or the United States in completing and operating what was formerly Dr. Lesseps's Panama Canal aobema. The administration optimists at Washington express the belief that the riparian States of Panama and Canea that is, those through whose territory the proposed waterway lies will seeede from Colombia, and that, maintaining their secession by the (at least passive) support of the United State, they will stand in the plaee of Colombia in this relation. Or, it is said that the President of Colombia "(MarrcqoiD), who favors the treaty, may avail himself of the power to usurp the authority of the Leeislature, in the event of a revolution, and complete the - deal with the United States by sigoicg the treaty. The ehaaoes are thought to be fa verable for the soooess of the necessary revolotion. Before troops eould be gotten from the oapital of Colombia (Bogota) to the scene, Panama acd Tanca would be able to seizs the ter minal ports of Colon and Panama and control the trsffio across the Istbmui. It is probable that the United States wonld, in that event, repeat its per- I formance of Ihree or font ywiJXSxi when, during the revolution of that day, the United States landed its jck ies and marine;, protected the traffic along the railway which runs over tte proposed canal route, and sustained tte revolution. On the other hand, Senator Morgan, chairman of the Interoceanie Car.al Committee of the Senate, and who has been an unyielding friend of the Nic aragua route, sees in the present action of the Colombian Senate the assurance of viotory for his favorite. He has just telegraphed from bis summer home in Virginia as follows: "If tbe Colombian Government has rejected tbe treaty it is because Colom bia bas respect for ber constitution, a care for the integrity of tbe territorial limits, a desire tor permanent relations of friendship with tbe United States and a regard for ber financial interests. All of which dignify that rerublie in tbe estimation of other nations and people. Oar duty, preserioed and enjoined by law, is to apply tbe appro pnation made by tbe act of Congress to the Nioaraguan route, to wbieh there is no valid objection of aoy sort: With tbe cordial assent and eo operation of Costa Bioa and Nioaragua, republics that have always dealt with us in a spirit of sincere friendship and confi denoe, tbe eanal will be speedily opened to tbe commerce of the world, and all tbe nations will rejoice with oar peo pie." And Smator Gorman says : "It seems to me that the canal act is sufficiently explicit and mandatory. It plainly says that, being unable to mtke satisfastorv arrangements with Colom bia, tbe President sball proceed to construct tbe Nicaragua canal after having completed by treaty with Nioaragua and Costa Biea satisfactory negotiations for tbe canal strip. It seems to me that tbe only course open now is fr the President to begin these negotiations. Tbe people of the conn try want a eanal, and I have no doubt that tbe administration will make use of the explicit power given it by Cm gress to build that canal." What a very fanny thing it would be it tbe venerable Senator from Ala bama should, after all, be able to tnrn the laugh on the triumphant Panama advocate who were pitying the fail ore of his "senile" tffirts less than a year ago.

Note Our correspondent fall into the common error of classing Mr. Bryan with Cleveland. Mr. Bryan is not a candidate for the nomination. Ob sbrveb - Bptclnl Correspondence ot the Observer Washington, D. C , Ang. 17, '03. The recent return from Earope ot the Hon. Arthur P, Qjrman, of Mary land, the recent speech before the Geor gia Bar Association by Judge Alton B. Parker, ot New York, the recent birth ot a boy in tho home ot the Bon. Gro ver Cleveland, tbe recent boom for Senator Francis Marion Cockrell, of Missouri, tbe recent marriage ot the Hon. William Randolph Hearst, and the recent speeches of the Hon. William Jennings Bryan and 'the- Hon. Tom L Johnson, ot OMo, hive revived the talk in the national capital ot demo oratic presidential porsibilities and probabilities. I have, therefore, made it my business to see nearly every demo malic member of Congress and every democratic politician who has visited the national capital for the past tew week! and to get as newly as possible the conceusus of opinion concerning these men as the presidential candidate ot tbe democratic party in the next campaign for the purpose ot this cor respouder.ee. It I were to tell all tba things that 1 have heard it would mske exceedingly interesting reading far the good people of the country. The national capital correspondent dots not tell everything be knows and beats, however, for the reason that he not only would bs put down as a liar by his readers, but he eould not go back to too same source of infotniation and gel another story when be needed it. I will then give, as succinctly as pr&jib'e, tae result of these interviews with public men con cerning the possibilities ot the above named gentlemen, being the demo cratic staidtrd beate. in the cam paigo of I'JOi So far as Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Bryan are concerned, we may as weil eliminate them to begin with. icn of tnese gentlemen has many admirers among tbe public men who visit trie jaiipfiatj; always been ardent admirers Ot Cleveland since his first election as President, and who left tbe party wita him in JS36. and supported tbe repub iicans on tbe money qaestion, have told me that he is out ct running as a candidate next year on account of tbe j prejudioe against the third term tor any man. MaDy men who loyally tno ported Mr. Bryan in li and 1300 agree that he eionot pcssib'.y be caaed a candidate again. They stiil admire him for bis mannood, his brilliance of intellect, his oratory, his steadfastness to principle and devotion to the cause of tbe people, bat they admit that he cannot again be a eaaddate. Tbey reallxs that tne issues will cot be tbe same next year and that the people have put tbe seal of their cou whieh be twice led tbe patty to defeat. T .-. , ...i ,. ,u ,u- ! issue next year wi.l be one witn wh.ca ' Mr. Bryan has cot been ssmient y ident.fied the trust i?soe to make him an available cacdidate even if be bad not been brought under tbe ban of tbe displeasure of tnoainds of men who will next year support tbe demo cratic ticket on that very issue. There tore, tbey discard h:m as a possibility in the next race. Senator Arthur P Gorman bas many friends among tbe m-n wno come to 1 Washington on cfScial business and I many of them have named h.m as the I most available mm for tbe democrats i to nominate next year. Tney say that ! wben be returned to the Senate last I March after an absence cf four ye&n he was quick y and g adiy given his i old piaee as hoor leader of the demo I cratic forets in the Senate, wbica i proves conclusively that bis powers ss a leader bave not bees dimmed by his absence from tbe Senate, that it is so reeognliid by bis eollegues, which fact gives bim prest ge a.l over the country. Tney mention bis service to the country ir. the. memorable force b:il fight in ISM, bis adroitcets as a leader, hi long record as a democrat, his knowledge of the public men of tbe country and hi? signal ability as an organizer, having, as chairman of tbe democratic national committee in 1SS4. brought victory to the party. Ibey elaim that he will be very strong in the eastern states, wbere the party needs votes in order to w.o. and all seem im bued with an intense de;ire to win next year. They claim that Senator Gor man was regular in tbe campaigns of ls9b and 19w, and supported the ticket loyally, yet be would make a very acceptable candidate to the cou servative bu.-ioess interests cf tbe Last. The boom for Judge Alton B. Par ker, of New Yoik, teems to have been frost-bitten by being planted too early Tbe judge, himself, bas lately taken a stand that practically eliminates bim from the race as a candidate. Still, be bas some warm admirerB and friends among tbe democats wbo visit tbe national capital and wbo claim for bim that he is tbe mot available mao to lead tbe democratic forces next vear. Tbey bave not much to say of bim concerning bis record, as that is con Hoed almost solely to tbe jadieial bench, but tbey say be is a most amia ble and learned man. Those who pre fer some other candidate, in discussing Jodge Parker, say tbat be is tied op with David B. Hill, and would be con trolled bv bim and tbey distrust Hill. Judge Parker's name may go before tbe convention, but it is not likely tbat tbe State of New York will present bim as tbe candidate ot that State. Everything now indicates a trend away away from Judge Parker. Tbe recent boom started for Senator Franei Marion Cockrell, of Missouri, is not taken seriously bere. Leaders of tbe party who bave discussed it with me look upon it as a move ot the Dock ery crowd in Missouri to get Senator Cockrell out of the race for the senator ship next time and allow Dockery to bave a clear Meld. Tbey believe, bow ever, tbat tbe wily and venerable sen ator from Missouri will not be caugbt by any such diaphanous trick as that. Tbey thick that Senator Cockrell bas no desire to enter the lists as a candi date for tbe presidency, but tbat he preiers to round out bis lite as a mem ber ot tbe Senate, where be bas served tbe party and the people so faithfully. If it were not for his sge there is no doubt that Senator Cockrell wonld make a wost available man for tbe democratic nomination, and a man who would rally all factions ot the party, at least tbat is tbe expressed opinion ot many to wbom I have ta k ed on this subject. His State may give bim a somplimeoUrv vote in ih convention, bat it ii believed that is as ur as bis candidacy will go. Since it 1 practically certain tbat tbe Hon. Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, Ohio, will be the democratic nominee for governor ot Ohio tbis fall, there are a number ot men who have lately been here who are seriously discussing him as a presidential possibility in case he should be elected or materially eat down the republican majority or defeat Mark Hanna for re election to the Ben ate, In either case he would certainly become a factor to ba reckoned with in the next convention. There have lately tamed np here many friends ot the Hon. William Ran dolph Hearst They seem to be the most enthusiastic bunch among all the politicians who have discussed tbis ibiug of the next democratic candidate with me. They all seem to besaturated with tbe idea that Mr. Hearst is tbe only man who can win and tbey are willing to give a reason for the faith that is in them. In the first place they say that Mr. Hearst is the only propti etor of a great daily newspaper in the North who loyallv supported the ticket in 1S96 and 1900, and who fought as hard for tbe ticket as any man on tbe ticket. Thev claim that any man nom mated in 1904 who did not loyally sup port tbe tioket, or who, even, was luke warm, will be defeated next year for tbe reason that the loyal democrats in theStates ct NewYork, Cooneticut and New Jersey will vote the socialist labor ticket which will give those S'.a'es, absolutely essential to democratic sue ens, to tbe republicans. They claim that Mr. Hearst, who bas endeared himself to ihe laboring people ot the country by figbting their battles at all times, can carry every center of indus trial activity in the couutry, thus assu ring democrat's success in the States of Connecticut, New York and New Jer sey, Delaware, Maryland, Illinois and California, which means democratic victory in the nation, and they say that victory is what they are after. Tbey say that a man who has tbe business interests at stake as those possessed by Mr. Hearst, whose payroll amounts to over $4 000 0O0 a year, and who bas never had a controversy with a single man ever on that payroll, can not help being a satisfactory candidate to the thousands of conservative business men of the country who did not snDport tbe ticket in the campaigns of 1690 and 1900. ." ..-v?-?!-'';'""J;" "lsnrafrtlir'iilitiii'-ihS'b'e" is ma very apoineosis 01 sou irusi, me only man in the couutry who bas ever gone after tbe trusts with his own money and made them tremble, and that tne trust question will be upper most in the next campaign, benoe, their man is a democratic platform in him self. That he is the very embodiment ot Jeffersonian and Jacksooian demoe cacy. That be is a mao who can bold all tbe vote that Bryan got and add to it the vote of labor regardless ot past political affiliation, also the vote of thousands of men who are in business and whose business is jeopard ud by the cormorant trusts of the country. That be Is absolutely independent of the trusts and the money interests cf tee country, and that be possesses tbe money personally to give the party tbe I'""" "paign ever nation and can duplicat aged in tie nation and can duplicate every dollar of ' fried 0Qt cf tBe ttMta T pub. ican campaign managers. That tie is young, an able executive, a phi lauthropist, a humanitarian, an honest lover of justiee to the people. In short, they elaim be can win if nominated. That is about a fair concensus of opinion ot democratic politicians who have lately visited tbe national capital and talked to me concerning the next presidential campaign from tbe stand point of a democratic candidate for president.

At his rt quest, I and a member of the city council accompanied him wben be established tbe proper point for boxes and located the carrier's routes in this place. About ten days later, I was sent to Washington by tbe city of Fayetteville to urge tbe prompt inau guration of the Free Delivery system, as we had been entitled to it for sev eral months; tbe receipts ot the post effiee being more tban the amount te q aired to secure tbis to our people; besides, oar suburban mill population, within a mile and less ot the eity cor poration, also entitled us to it. I visited your effioe on the 6 h and also tbe 7th ot July.

I then returned there end informed tbe clerk in charge that the Davis report wa in tbe lower office, but would be sent right up. Tbis gentleman renew en hi promise of prompt attention wben tbe report should come, and he referred me to the Department of Allowances and Balariee (or their action oo one of its recommendations, ( i. e. a small increase in tbe rental be cause of tbe neeeesary enlargement of tbe building to accommodate the new system.) I wa assured by the De partment ot Allowance and Salaries tbat an inspeetor wonld be promptly cut to Fayetteville to draw np th new lease, and attend to tbe prelimi nary matter necessary to the inaugu ration of the new system.

Atlaati Osaat Lin laiaisgs. The New York Commercial Adver tiser of the 13th inst. has the follow ing : , The Atlantic Coast Line makes a pre liminary report for the fiscal year end ed Jane 30th, 1903, as follows: 1903 1902 Gross Earn'gs, $19 676 746 $17 639 668 Expenses, 12.591 597 11054,059 Net Earn'gs, $7,085,149 $5 985.009 No oomprebensive effleial statement is at band ot the exact outstanding in debtedness of tbe Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company and tbe Atlantic Coast Line Company, bat if we add the fixed charges of tbe old Plant sys tem and the old Atlantio Coast Line, and add thereto 4 per oeut. on tbe $36,500,060 Louisville and Nashville collateral 4j. it will give fixed charges of abont $5,200,000. Using this figure, we can oonatruot tbe probable income for Ibe year jast ended as follows: Net earn'gs from operations, $7,085,149 6 per ot. on 306.000 L. & N. shares, 1,530.000 Total inoome, Charges, $8,615,149 5,200,000 Surplus, $3,415,149 Aooording to the most reliable re ports, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company has outstanding at the pres ent time $2,270,000 preferred stook and $3650, (W0 ecwnro(-w4bat threat B'H logs, as figured above, would be equal to 5 per cent, dividend on tbe preferred stock and 6 5 per cent, on tbe sommon. It is evident from tbe fig ures which have been submitted tbat tbe earnings from tbe property as re ported are amply suffioient to pay tbe charges and leave a good surplus. But tbe figures as reported do not begin to do justice to the earning power underlying tbe stook. Tbe earnings as submitted are simply tbe results of tbe operations ot tbe 3,590 miles whioh oompoee the Atlantio Coast Line sys tern proper. Io addition to tbe mileage directly operated, tbe oompany oontrols separately operated corporations having an aggregate mileage ot over 6.350 miles of road. The Louisville and Nashville, with its 4 916 miles, is earn ing more than doable the dividend which it pays, without counting the (quities which it owns in its subsidiary corporations, suoh as tbe Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis, etc Tbe Atlantio Coast Line Railroad Company, through its control of other corpoporations, is today the domina ting railroad corporation in the great territory boonded by tbe Potomac, the Ohio, tbe Mississippi, the Atlaotio and the golf and its earnings and its finan cial doings are ot great interest, not only to the small group of gentlrmen wbo own tbe Atlantio Coast Line Company of Connecticut, but to those wbo own tbe npward of $200, 000,000 bonds and minority clocks of tbe parents and subsidiary oorpora -tions, as well as the great population resident in the territory which it serves so admirably. Peruvian Guano. Charleston News and Courier. The first cargo Blnce 1880 came in steamship "Strathmore" which ar rived In Charleston In May of this year with 4200 tons. This fertilizer can now be sold at pi ices in competition with artificially manufactured manures. The discovery cf Phosphate Rock in Florida and South Carolina, from which the artificially manufactured goods de rive their content of Phosphoric acid, caused tbe sadden stoppage of the im portation ot Peruvian Guano, as tbe goods manufactured from this phos phate rock conld be sold cheaper than Peruvian Guano conld in those days. Tbis Gnano is derived al most entire ly Irom the excrement ol sea birds as well as from tbe remains of the birds themselves The composition of it isof a very complex cbaracter. The Nitro gen exists largely as Ammonia, com bined with oxalates, urates, Hnmates and to some extent purely organic forms. Tbe distinctive value of the natural Guanos is due to the fact that the plant food exists in a number of amerentiy soiarole compounds, which become available at different times in the soil, and thus constantly feed the pUnt. Tbe Gnano deposits are situated on the Islands ofl tbe coast of Peru. Tbese places have been the home of innum erable sea birds, such as Pelicans Pen guins and others. The Captain of tbe "8trathmore" stated there are over one million tons of Gnano remaining on the Island of Lobos de Afaera alone. Letter to Ashley-Bailey Co. Fayetteville, N. C.
