Horn may be calied the worst man known in the history of the West, but he has always had a filial rever- ence for his mother. He has never allowed a month to pass without writing a long letter, and this habit has been kept up during his impris- onment, without any reference tothe incarceration. He has written ten letters addressed to his mother to be delivered at intervals of a month af- ter his death, to keep up the decep- tion of his life.

St. Joseph, Mo., November 17.— The coroner's jury in the case of the killing of Irving P. McDonald found that he came to his death from a shot fired by Joseph F. Furlong in defense of his own life. When this verdict was read this afternoon a wild scene ensued Deaf- ening cheers from hundreds of spec- tators cortinued for five minutes. The St. Louis traveling man who was assaulted at the Hotel Metro- pole Sunday morning, and who killed the young millionaire, Irving P. Me Donald, was @ free man. Scores of men gathered around Furlong and grasped his hand. “Let this be a warning,” “God bless you,” “I’m glad you are clear- ed” and other similar remarks were made as young and old pressed for- word to shake his hand. “I sincerely regret this affair” was the only state- ment the young man would make His lips were quivering and his eyes brimming with tears, but he did not break down completely. The chief interest centered in the two women, of the “Governor's Son” theatrical company, Mrs, Myrick and Miss Holt, who testified that Fur long acted on the defensive. The inquest revealed few features that have not already been printed- Fur long and William Lynch took Mrs. Myrick and Miss Holt to the Schlitz cafe after a theatrical performance, were insulted by four young men, who followed them to the Hotel Met- ropole where Furlong shot one of the number, unless the United States recedes im- mediately from {ts position That the Colombiars are willing to fight to maintain their dignity, and, if possiile, retake Panama, is shown by the strong support offered the »bof Senor Ricos’s stand. The min- ioter in his note to the United States, hrough }r. Beaupre, says: “Tae Colombian government pro- tests energetically against the at titude of the United States. By the recognition of Panama and the warn- ing that the United States will not allow Colombia to put down the rebellion, the heretofore friendly rela- tions existing between the two gov- ernments have arrived at such a critical state that it is absolutely impossible to continue diplomatic relations unleaes the Washington government should immediately give notice that- it has no intention to prevent Colombia from retaking the isthmus or to extend any recognition to the belligerents.”’ The note conciudes by stating that “a prompt reply is awaited from Washington, as the Colombian army is ready to march on Panama at once,” Adding to the indgnation of the orm Destroyer. preparations for war is a dispatch alleged to have been received to-day saying Germany ‘disapproves of the course taken by the United States and censures her for interference at Panama.”’ This message has caused general rejoicing, and cheers for Ger- many are heard on allsides, Gener- al Perdomo has been appointed com- mander-in chief of the Colombian army.
