The session of the reciprocity con¢ntion tonight was devoted mainly to the question of reciprocal trade relations with Canada. Several papers were read, after which some routine business was disposed of and the convention finally adjourned. The views of the Boston Chamber of Commerce on the subject of reciprocity with Canada were presented in a paper by George H. Coppins. There was, he sald, no logical escape from the conclusion that Canada should be included in any general scheme for reciprocal treaties. Our inter- ts were more mearly touched by the fu- ure of that countty than by the future of the South American sfates. Canadians last year had bought from us at the unparalleled rate of $20 per capita. 1f an impassable trade barrier were raised yetween the two countries Canada could face he changed conditions with comparative 'ase, for its forelgn markets are now es. ablished ‘elsewhere, but with us a stop- »ge of trade would mean the closing down ‘or want of orders of thousands of Ameri- an factories and workshops.

He also discussed the preterential duty given by Caj on goods imported from Great Britain and in concluding sald: Equality with Great Britain, “Beéfore any negotiations for a reciprocal trade agreement with Canada can be con- sidered the government of that country should take steps through its legislative body to place the prod of the United Btates and of Great Briu whether im- ported under the provis of their tarift laws or under the provisions of a treaty, upon an equality in its domestic market."

This action met with the cordial acknowledgmeut of President Bearch, who snid he felt the meeting had sccomplished the object for which it had ghthered and to have added anything to that would have been a mistake. The convention then finally adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—The confirma- tion of the reported capture of Colon by the Colombian Iiberals caused a declded com- motion in the State and Navy departments today. There were long conferences be- tween Secretary Long and Admiral Crown- inshield and M(' the admiral and Dr, Hill, acting secretary of state. Later the two last named went over to the. White Houee and saw President Roosevelt. This was 1% first time slnce 1885, when Admiral Jouette opemed up transit across the Isthmus of Panama, that communication had actually been stopped in such fashion as to seem to require the interference of the United States naval forces. The first news of the trouble at Colon came from United States Consul General Gudger at Panama. Later there came a second message from Mr. Gudger announc- fog that Colon had heen taken. This was confirmed more explicitly by United States Consul Malmros, stationed at Colon. The latter official sald that Colon taken by the rebels last night. While all business Is sugpended, transit is not interrupted and American life and property are safe and not Itkely to be in danger. Taken altogether, these dispatches were regarded by the officials here as Indicating & lack of purpose-on the part of the liberals to interfere with transit across the isth- mus.. It was felt that the brief interrup- tions caused by the takidg up of the rails and the cutting of the telegraphic wires was nothing more than a temporary device to’ prevent the government from hurrying reinforcements by rall to Colon. The offi- cials ind support for this bellef in the fact that communication was reopened across the isthmus the moment Colon was cap- tured. Still, as a result of the consultation g resolved to take no chances of an infringement of the treaty rights of the United States. Therefore Dr. HIll ca- bled Consul General Gudger to notify all parties who are engaged in molesting or in- terfering with free transit across the isth- that such interference must cease.

To find & food that will put an absolute atop to “runnipg down' is better than finding » gold mine. Many people when they begin to run down go from one food to another and find it imposeible to find food that will stop the progress of dis- ease. Grape-Nuts Food Is the most nour- g known and will set one right it that of a Louisana lady will be interesting. Mrs J. H.

Colomh) ton Adyised, The news of the situation on the isthmus came to the Colomblan legation here this afternoon n the following cablegram from General Arjona, acting governor of Panama in the absence of General Alban, who Is leading the Chorrera expedition “PANAMA, Nov, Colon Is being at- tacked. Hcarcity of troops here. Trafic may be interrupted." + While the above dispatch does not state that the city has fallen Mr, Herran, the Colomblan cha d'affaires at Wi credite, of course, the news to t that has come through diplomatic and naval chabnels. When asked as to what results may be expected from the capture of the city Mr. Herran safd: “It will depend entirely upon the success or faflure of the expedition under General Alban, which Is headed for Chorrera to en- gage the insurgents at that point. If Gen- eral Alban Is successful the recapture of Colon should be a comparatively easy mat- ter. But if, on the other hand, the govern- ment expedition should be defeated the re- sults undoubtedly would be dikastrous, for the insurgents would then have, temporarily at least, undisputed sway over the entire Isthmus,"* Herran naturally was of the close proximity of Colon to Panama, the leading city on the isthmus and second only in importance to Bogota. General Castro is known to be & atanch friend of the deposed president, San Clemente. NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—The Western Union Telegraph company's central cable office here has been advised that telegraphic com- munication between Colon and Panama is interrupted owing to fnsurrectionary move- ments at Colon. As messages for Colon can &0 forward via Key West, Fla., and messages from Panama via Galveston, this fnterrup- tion hag but a local effect. At the office of the Colomblan consul gen- eral in this city it was sald that no officfal advices as to the capturp of Colon by the liberals had been received up to noon today. Later the Central cable office of the Western Unlon Telegraph company an- nounced that telegraphic communication between Colon and Panama had been re- entablished. Consul Belittles Lo Arturo de Brigard, consul general of Col- ombia, today received private dispatches Informing him that the ljberals had sur- prised and captured the clty of Colon last night. His telegram placed the loss at twelve killed and thirty vounded. Mr. Brigard said that the taking of the town does mot amount to much, as it is not a fortified place, and that Genéral Carles Alban, who is governor of the Department of Panama, is now in the city of Panama with 1,100 trained troops. He sald that when General Alban returned to Colon the Iiberals would run away. The consul g eral sald General Alban expected to give battle today to the liberal forces on the racific slde of Panama at Chorrera. After that, battle the consul said the general would go to Colon. General Alban has ample ammunition for all purposes. Brigard sald that when Ge: Colon he took all the leaving the town in charge of fifty polic men, A the ‘ofide’ bl .the Papama Hailway and Steamship company it was sald that the officers had received advices that the town had been surprised by the liberals. The advices did not say how many libe in the attacking party, but it was supposed the force was not larger than 300. Marines Guard Raflroad. Two dispatches were received at the offi- ces of the Panama railroad in this city today. The first sald that the town had been captured by the liberals, that men from Machias were guarding the plers of the company and that the liber: guard about the old pas cars. The later message sald that the wires between Panama and Colon, which bad been down, were in working order; that everything was quiet and that work was going on as usual on the plers. n the office.of the secretary of the com- pany 1t sald that no’interruption of trafe expected, as both sides had agreed to protect .the property of the rafl- road. All are anxious to keep in the good graces of the United States government. The object of the capture, it was thought, was to gain prestige among those who have liberal tendencies.
