The liberal leader, Domingo Diaz, 1s ex pected shortly at Colon. It is rumored here that Buena Ventura, « Colombian port on the Pacific coast about 400 miles south of Panama, has been taken by the liberals. Confirmation of this re- port is Inckin, Marines from Machias still guard the sta- tion and property of the rallroad 'here Towa will land forces at Panama when the Docessity arines. The liberals here have given notice that the ad valorem duty on goods disembarked st Colon will henceforth be 10 per cent not 20 per cent as formerly. All the stores n Colon are open today and business has been resumed The Colomblan gunboat General Pinzon s belloved to be along the coast some. where near Colon, as when it left here it short of coal. Transit across the Isthmus {& still free and uninterrupted, No P COLON, Colombia, Nov. 2%.—It is re- ported that the government has addressed a communication to the United States con- sul setting forth that it cannot guarantee protection for isthmian transit. Two salling boats, having scventy-five woldiers on boayd. which lefy Panama with General Alban, returned to that pi at 3 p. m. yesterday, and General Alban and fifty woldiers arrived there cn board the gun- boat Boyace at 7 p. m. The liberals here assort that General Lo- nzo attacked (ieneral Alban's force after 1t had landed nt Chame, near Chorrera, and defeated It, only Geueral Alban and a few of bis troops escapivg. It is wlso claimed that the other division of General Alban's army was routed by General Lugo, who foinad the liberal ranks. The liberals at Colon are fubilant and expect General Lugo to arrive at Colon any woment. Further detnils of the latrer decisive fighting are ex- pected at Panama at any moment, Senor Espriella, counsel for the P raliroad, who was appoluted provisional prefect by the liberals vesterday, has de- clined the office and Dr. Campilio has been appointed prefect in his place. Senator Halas has accepted the: appointment as mayor, which was offered to Dr. Valverde. The United States gunboat Marietta is ex- pected here. Marietta, which left Key Went for Colon November 18, was reported from Colon last night to have been signaled sn the offng Advices received by the Panama Steam- ship and ailroad company, from their agents at Colon, stated that all was quiet and that the norther having passed the steamers had returned to port, having ridden out the storm without accident. The officiale of the company fear that if General Alban, after the fight at Chorrera, attempts to retak: ‘olon the place is likely to be burned and property worth millions destroyed. They say that during the ine surrection of a dozen years ago the liberals and conservatives had a fight at Colon and the place was burned. On that occasion Captain McCalla, commanding the United warship at Colon, was requested ‘marines to protect the prop- erty of Americans. He promised to do so after his men had breakfasted oo shipboard, but while they were dining the town was on fire and property worth $5,000,000 destroyed. Purpose In A ptection Guarnnteed. neement, The answer of the Colombian government o (he representations of Consul General Gudger to the effect thab the government was unable to guaranteo the. integrity of the railway communication across the fsth- mus was purposely developed in order to make perfectly plain the fact that the United States was thoroughly justified in tanding its forces at Colon. With this formal acknowledgment from the Colomblan government of its inability to maintain communication ft becomes, it is said, not the privilege, but the duty of the United Etates, under the treaty of Granada, to guarantee that communication, even though the uke of force fs necessary.

If they adhered their position would be of great use, not to America. but to the cause of peace, for it would eliminate a great many of the notable causes of war. If the Monroe doctrine becamo part of the pub- le law of the civilized world the risk of a war breakiog out with European Interfer- ence in Brazil or Spanish America, uow al- ways a possibility, would then pass away. “Possibly no other power but Great Britaln would at first be willing to recog- nize the Monros doctrine as binding. Even then it would be worth our while to pledge ourselves to respect it, for we never mean to attack that doctrine and sooner or later our example will be followed by other: The Spectator will also approve the ca- nal treaty and in another article on Sece retary Hay's foreign policy the paper will say: “No country In the world can show two greater or worthier statesmen than President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay. QUEER LAMENT FROM LONDON St. Jamea's Gasette Accnnes Amer of Being Slow in Their Per- ceptive Facult| ov LONDON, Nov. 22.—The St. James's Ga- zette this afternoon repeats its assertion that English actors are *coarsensd” in America and that “visits there are ar- tistically detrimental toEnglish actresses.' The paper adds: doubt about the matter. In the United States a less subtle and more accentuated style of acting is neceswsary, in order that a player may make his effects. The audi- ences like a less delicate and a nofster method. They are less quick to catch and appreciate the actor's art. Violence of gesture and intonation do not offend them.

There has been co-operation for some years bhetween tha two parties and probably this will continue for another year, but thera has never been fusion. There ia not the slightest probability of a disorganization or disruption of the popu- 16t party. It is an well solidified and as completely organized as the democratic or republican party, and, no doubt, it will continue so fn the future. I the democratic party should return to Clevelandism, thers will doubtless be three tickets in the field in 1004, for no populist will accept Mr Cleveland, or anyone holding his political views, as a candidate for the presidency.

C. Form TRENTON, N. I., Nov. 2Z.—Reports come from Priuceton to the effect that ex-Pres dent Grover Cleveland {s Il at his home at that place. Mr. Cleveland recently re- turned from & gunniog trip and was taken with a chill and was threatened with poeumonia. Inquiry at his home tonight ellcitcd the Information that he is very much improved. His condition 1s ot un derstood to be dangerous, ment | in Nebraska next fall than we have had for some years. 1 think the late elaction signifies nothing so far as it may be reck- oned as a basls for future caleulations. The populist vote I8 in the country; it Is dificult to get out; the republican vote is in the cities and towns and of easy access to the polls; it Was all cut this year. The weather on election day was adverse fa polling a large opposition vote. Many popu- lints unfortunately are of the opinion that the opposition being fn the majority, it is not necessary for them to go to the polls they moem to think a pattie can be fought and won remainfug away from the field of action. They will recover from this and #ee the necessity of casting their ballots Difterences of Faith. Doubtless damage has been done by the persistent attempts of some democrats to disorganize and destroy the popullst party and abeort its membership. This has beeu taken by some popullsts to mean that theru I8 & possibility of dismantling the or ganization and turning it over to the dem- ocrats. In this, however, they are mis taken. The democratic and populist parties do not agree on many essential points uf political faith. The democrats belleve that it is strictly essentlal to redeem government paper money in rome kind of coin to give it force and value, while populists believe @s a rule that a government note based upon the taxing power of the nation und strictly limited in quantity is as valuable as a medium of exchange s gold or silver without any specific provieion for its re- demption in coln. Populists helieve in government ownership of rallways, tele- graphs, telephones, in the establishment of postal savings banks, in the Initiative and referendum and in the nationalization of all natural monopolies. Democrats bhe- lieve in none of these. Parties Must Remain Separnte. And thus it will be cbservedwithout go- iog further Into details that there is a well defined line of demarcation between the two parties, which will not permit them to be brought together. The teach ings of the populist party have done much to enlighten the public on vital politieal questions, an enlightenment which demacratic party could not would not bave produced in the wame time. These differences must of necessity keep the two parties separate, while locally they may co. operata along certain agreed lines, The faith of the popullst 18 t0o clear and strong and tos well founded to permit him to he ab sorbed by any other organization. The populist party will continue to live and Rrow stronger ye by year. Very Truly Yours, WILLIAM V. ALLE From One of the Rank and File, OMAHA, Nov. 18.-To the Editor of Tha Bee: I aee in The Bee published some let ters of ex-senators, ex-congressmen, etc In explanation of fusion defeat in Nebraska this fall. Now, after all the wise men and the prominent men have spoken. I think ono of the rank and file, one who has for nearly twenty years kept right on the firing line of the great battle for reform, wh has never held nor ever asked hold or one to | ofice, should be given a chance to express his opiuion The cause for fusion defeat In Nebraska | 18 short and sweet, just like the old wom an's dapce. Fusion was defeated because all true reformers are sick, tired of hear of having thg wool puiled all over our eyes by @& set of hypocrites, self-appointed leaders whose highest ambition is office for revenue only, who are trying to use the rank and file of the voters as a stepping stone only, for their own profit and glort fication.
