The majority, however, have only the 39 cents. FROM WASHINGTON. [Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.] Washington, D. C., August 22. Further confirmation of the fact that the Colombian Congress objected rather to the form than to the substance of the Panama canal treaty, and that it is still endeavoring to perfect an arrangement that will be acceptable to the United States while at the same time preserving the rights and dignity of Colombia, is conveyed in a dispatch from Foreign Minister Rico received by Mr. Herran today. It is dated Aug. 16th and is couched in most cordial terms. It says that the Colombian government is very anxious to bring about a satisfactory arrangement for the completion of the canal by the United States and is doing all it can to that end. It is learned that there were three reasons assigned by the Colombian government for that disapproval: (1) that Colombian sovereignty over the canal zone was impaired; (2) that there was no previous understanding on thepart of the Panama Canal Company with the Colombian government as to the sale of its property, and (3) that the injudicious action of the American Minister, Mr. Beaupre, in presenting dispatches asserting that no amendments of any kind would be accepted by the United States, contributed to the result. The local bookbinders' union, through President Robert D. Barrett and Secretary James A. Stockman, today issued a lengthly statement treating in detail with the case of W. A. Miller, the assistant foreman in the government printing office, who was expelled from the union, dismissed from the service on that account by Public Printer Palmer, and reinstated by order of President Roosevelt. Miller's personal character is bitterly attacked. The charge is made that he was twice before dismissed from the government service, once for deceiving the Public Printer by the claim that he had served his apprenticeship the second time for making one of the young women in the service believe that he was a single man. They further charge that Miller was first married in 1871 and that he married a second time before he had been divorced from his first wife. Cruel treatment of his first wife is also alleged. A large part of the statement is devoted to a discussion of Miller's conduct in office. He is denounced as incompetent and the assertion is made that he resorted to many mis-statements in placing reports on the work in his office to members of Congress and others. In a general way the statement reiterates the various charges previously made public by the union. The Comptroller of the Currency announced today that the Groesbeeck National Bank of Groesbeeck, Texas, was closed by the cashier on the 20th instant by direction of the president of the bank, as a result of the failure of the Citizens' National Bank of Beaumont, Texas. National Bank Examiner J. W. Hertford, has been appointed receiver. The failure of this bank is due to the same causes which led to the closing of the Citizens' NationalBank-large excessive loans to R. Oliver, who was president of both associations, and to enterprises in which he was interested. It is said that President Roosevelt will soon appoint a commissioner to investigate the scandals in connection with the sale of Indian lands. It is reported here that no agreement on a financial measure acceptable to the republican leaders of both houses of Congress has been reached, and as a result the President has entirely abandoned his intention of urging any specific financial legislation on Congress, as he would have done in his message when the special session assembles, had such an agreement been reached.
