u..d on the stump, to now propose lo
surrender the sovereignty of this most
costly of all the American posses
sions to the whims, caprice, and sordid
ihterests of foreign interests and do
mestic railroad lines. This whim as
nominally expressed is bused upon
Article VIII- of the Clayton-Bulwcr
treaty, and that treaty was made in
I860. In 1847 Great Britain seized in
defiance of the Monroe doctrine, Grey
town, the American terminus of the
proposed canal which was to be lo
cated at Nicaurauguu, Article VIII
of that treaty provided that the Uni
ted States and Great Br?Ulu should
I jointly promote and protect not only
. an In?cr-oceanic canal', but an inter
o'vCnrtic railway.
"Shylock England claims the heart
of our system, and says it is nominat
ed in the bond. She is generous
enough, however, to suv that she
will not claim any greater privileges
lu the canal than we ourselves en
joy.
"Since tlic Drat railroad was built
to the Pacific coast the people of tho
count ry, cast and west,, have have la
bored under the extortionate charges
pr a railroad rate policy which levied
upon traffic all that lt would bear. For
'JO years many of the cit'"? of that
coast have litigated befpre the Inter
state 'Commerce Commission and In
the court s for relief from discrimina
tion and overcharges of this system.
Now. just as they are about to comp
into tue enjoyment of t':is competitive
transportation Une, the cup ls dashed
from their Ups by the Democratic
party, in'repudiation of its platform
and pledges and in surrender of our
international self-respect.
- "Now lt ls proposed.,in pursuance
of thc same futile policy to pay $25,
000,000 of the people's money to the
republic of Colombia presumably to
buy its good will. There seems to be
a mania in this administration tor
making treaties. It. ls urged aa a bas
is of peace. Aa a matter of fact, they
aro a source or controversies and dis
agreements leading to unfriendly,
rather than peaceful relations. This
"proposal' of $25,000.000 to Colombia
io nothing but an unwarranted raid
upon the American treasury.
"Thc province of Panama has severed
its connection with the Republic of
Colombia wheh'the United States pur-'
chased from it the Canal Zone. We
did not influence nor foment its hostll
ity ?r .its.. secession.. from,'/ tho larger
opubllc. Its hostility was tradition
al. It had 'beert'.looted, and sucked bf
Its substance by Colombia since tho
first French Tan.?l company made its
appearance on the Isthmus.
"T?te Progressive party now has an
opportunity given to hut few hitman
agencies. Jo ^reader a.service to lib
erty,' to democracy; abd, to mankind by
preservint the Panama Canal froriVthe
unwarranted attack abd demands bf
influence of either foreign power or

j In the fight that night both of the
Corb??a w?rc .kiiied, " They were
found In the yard, having been killed
by gunshot wounds.
The slato courts requested juris
diction first, and. 'the following were
arrested: J. B. Palmer! his son,
Charlie, his daughter, Lou Belcher,
and his ?."andson, Bob Belcher. There
waa great, excitement at Walhalla at
that time: .\
;lt so happened that the cqprt' of

fact that as the grand jury was de

against thc prisoners that the bodies
of the twp Corbins were being low

some evidence though weak, against
A le;hie Palmer for entering Into tho

finally brought in the federal court
nt Greenville charged murder and

Lou. Belcher and Aleihie Palmer.
The cake Was' called1 before Judge

Wireless Much Used.
The cable still is being much used in these days, but the main
reliance of the navy department for communication between shore
stations and men of war now scattered along both coasts of Mexico
are the wireles towers at Key West, Guantanamo and Arlington.
Sn perfect were the plans laid out and reduced to form months
ago by the student ollicers of the naval war college, covering possible
operations of the navy against Mexico* that there was little for the
general board to do beyond keeping up to the moment in matters
of d?tail. Becuuse of the almost non existence of a Mexican navy,
conditions winch Amreican sailors may meet are quite unlike those
covered in the utans, of campaign prepared for other countries.
Generally th? Mexican plan covers elementary problems, such as
the stimultaneoiis;. establishment of an efficient blockade, which the
rather extensive c?g$t 1?U? of Mexico would make no small task:
Next in order-cosiesi?he seizure of certain ports,' and this is where
the painstaking ?and exhaustive drills of the marine regiments1 lasl
Fall-and Winter are expected" to lind their application. The whole
modern theory of advance base operation with the marines as an
,actlve force was planed to meet just euch emergencies as the rapid
seizure of a port in a'hostile country to form a base to be held for the
arrival of an army of occupation.
To Move Overland.
About the only.olher feature of naval activity in the beginning
of hostile operations, at least, would be the dispatch by land of an
expeditionary for?e t? hold important staitcgic points, such as the
great trestle on the Vera' Cruz Mexico City railroad, supposed to be
the key to the posession of that road. And with the lifteen thousand
or mor? men in his. fleet; Admiral Badger could spare a force am
ple for that purpose^
I.aler it? tlit? dav. and after the adjournment bf thc board meeting,
the Admirals went to. the navy department building and awaited the
return of Secretary Daniels. The only order that wa" issued from the
department during the forenoon was that sent to Pensacola, instruct
ing Commander Sims to fall in line behind the fleet with'his flotilla of
torpedo boat -destroyers," I* in number and the flagship crusier Bir
mingham and tender Dixie. The vessels had been held in leash since
Tuesday last under orders to "stand by," and it was explained that
today's order, which was isued by Admiral Blue on his own authority,
was simply in execution of the original design- _ ^ '
