‘THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. ESTABLISHED JUNE MARINES ARE LANDED Fifty Bluejackets from United States Gun- boat Nashville Disembark at Panama. LIVES OF AMERICANS ARE THREATENED Foieign Families Fl:ok to Buildings of Railroad Company for Protection. NEWEST REPUBLIC WANTS RECOGIIfION Requests Wasoington Authorities to Grant it Rights Accorded o Nations COLOMBIAN WARSHIP SHELLS THE CITY Bombardment Said to Be in Viol ot All Rules of Warfare, No Pre- Notice Having Been Given. viol COLON, Colombla, Nov. 4.—General Qua- droe, the prefect of Colon and the senior officer commanding the troops which a rived yesterday on the gunboat Cartagena from Bavanilla, are maintaining their posi- tion of refusing to acknowledge the au- thority of the provisional government of Panama, and the troops refuse to return to Panama, The American residents are threatened. American and forelgn families are flocking for shelter to the rafiroad bullding. There is great commotion here. The United States gunboat Nashville has landed about fifty bluejackets and a quantity of ammunition. The Colombian gunboat Cartagena has Just left the harbor, headed northeast. It is surmised that it is going to Savanilla. The Colomblan flag still flles over the pre- fecture. The flag of the mew republi¢ has #iready made its appearance in Colon. Karly this morning news was recelved of the shelling of Panama by the Colomblan gunboat Bogota and Instructions were at once eubled to the United States vice. con- sul there to protest against this bombard- ment while the commander of the cruiser Boston was directed to prevent Bogota re- suming firing. It early became apparent that this government intended to take ac- tive steps to protect life and property on the isthius and to take an advanced po- sition. Instructions were cabled com- manders of warships on thelr way to the isthmus or already there, to resort to any Necessary measures to prevent bloodshed. The situation at the two erids of the rallway, Panama and Colon, is anomalous and late tonight it developed that the Colon situation is the result of plans of the Navy department miscarrying. The o dispatches to Nashville, which should have reached it immediately upon fts arrival at Colon November 2, were intercepted and were not by Commander Hub- bard until after the Colomblan gunboat Cartagena arrived at Colon with 50 Co- lomblan troops aboard, when it was too late to prevent its entrance into the har- bor. The execution of the original scheme from the will be made by new government at Panama to obtain recognition at the hands of the United States. In view of the ample measures taken BY the United States it is not expected any forelgn: power’ will complicate matter funhc\.' sending, ships to the' lan ‘waters." As soon.as the Pacific squadron, tonsisting of Marblehead, Wyoming and Concord, now at Acapulco, finish coaling they will proceed to Panama to join Boston. Troops Will Not Be Transported. 1t is reported that the commander of the United States gunboat = Nashville, Com- mander Hubbard, this morning notified the prefect of Colon and the Panama rallway officlals that no troops from elther end of the Isthmus would be allowed transporta- tion on the rallroad. The city of Colon was mystified today Wwhen It received the news from Panama of the overthrow of the national govern- ment tI 4nd the proclamation of the inds of the lsthmus yesterday evening., Culon, however, No bloodshed resulted from the revolu- oniry movement, which s supported by the pecple of the highest intelligence and The government troops, which arrived here yesterday on the Colombian cruiser Cartagena, refuse to return to Savanilla or acknowledge the authority of the pro- vislional government of Panama. All en- deavors In this direction have so far been unsuccessful. A conference is now belng held at the prefecture and trouble is expected mo- mentarily. The excitement is Inoreasing and the stores are being closed. Asks for Recogmnition. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-The Upited Btates government this morning received a cablegram from Panama requesting that it recognize the new government. 'The offl- clals here are as yet In ignorance as to what this new government consists of and have taken no action on the request. The greatest activity was exhibited in the State and Nuvy departments this morning and there were frequen® consultations be- tween the officlals, the naval officers par- ticularly being intent on working out the detalls of the plan ‘of protection of the isthmian ' traffje outlined by the Btate de- irtment. Navy is Making Preparations. It is quite evident that the navy is mak- Iug preparations for & larger demonstration In isthmian waters than it has made for many years, and the fact Is not disguised that all of the information that has come from the secret agents of the government the other end by the revolutionists makes the sltuation extremely complicated. That 1s Ope reason the conferences are being held and why it is desirable that the most exact 19, 1871, OMAHA, THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER &, ng Money to Large regations, At the opening mmittee of the Extenston' .5t the Method- ist Episcopal churd 4y the quéstion 48 to whether or not'the soclety should asslst those churches whose bufldings cost more than $10,00 was the principal topic of discussion. It was the general opinion of the bishops and clergymen present that 100 mueh money is loaned to churches which build pretentious buildings. According the the rules of the Church Extension Boclety all applications for aid must come first through the board, which approves the application and submita it for approval to the general assembly. Bishop C. H. Fowler of Buffalo and Bishop J. W. Hamilton of San Francisco made strong’pleas for the generad committee to suspend the article of the manual used by the assembly to allow the congregation at Berkeley, Cal, the necessary money to build a 360,000 church. Rev. A. G. Kynett and Rev. A. J. King, the secretary, oppoked the motion. A heated discussion followed and upoon the final vote the motion to suspend the rules was defeated 81 to 10. It was argued by the opponents of the motion that while the needs of college towns like Berkeley, Princeton and Oberlin are great, it would require at least $40,00 to build a church at any one of these places and the money loaned to those three towns would be sufficlent to help seventy-five or a hundred small strug- §ling churches. The afternoon session was taken up with the reports of the secretary and treasurer and the appointment of committees. The year which has Just paesed is sald to have been the greatest in the history of the board of church extension. During the year 13,270 churches have been assisted. The receipts for the year trom all sources amounted to $399,500. he treasurer's re- port shows that during the year $M4,676 has been disposed of from the loan fund and $07,00 has been given to helpless churches, 'WESTERN MATTERS AT CAPITAL Nebraska Gets Six and Iowa One New Rural Route First of December.

NEW YORK IS THE ONLY WEAK SPOT n and the Entire Tam- many Ticket Goes in by Good Majorities. CLEVELAND, Nov. 4—Complete returns from all the precincts in this, Cuyahoga county, including the city of Cleveland, give Herrick, rep., for governor, 45,169; Johnson, 36,649; Herrick's majority, 852, The victory of the republicans in the city and county s the most decisive and sweep- ing recorded In many years, not a single democrat being elected on the entire ticket. The republicans elect a solid delegation of four state senators and ten representa- tives of the legislative ticket by pluralities ranging from 4,000 to 6,000. John H. Clarke, democratic candidate for United States senator, today made the fol- lowing statement: The rv the in- croase "of " the" repubiican majortty. - The increased majority against the democrats I attribute to the ‘fact that the aggressive cumpaign waged by Mr. Johnson, with such ald as 1 could render, resuited in creating an activity on the part of the re- publican organization not equalled in re- cent years. This brought out a larger increased republican vote, while the demo- cratic vote was not correspondingly in- creased, bBecause of the factions In south- gim, and western Ohlo, which were organ- ized and led. by ambitious and wealthy men within the party. In Cuyahoga county all of the men dis- appointed because not given office united with those who were tried and found g and dropped, and these, under skiliful leadership, in my judgment, ac- complished the result in this county. 0 these factors should be added the adroit appeal of Senator Hanna to the cupldity and fears of the people, which seems to have prevailed. But, after all, “the Dutch have effectively captured Holland.' Serator Hauna, referring to the renewed suggestions made In various quarters to the effect that he is the logical candidate for the presidency next year as a result of the unprecedented victory won in Ohio at Tuesday's election, made this statement to- night: The results of the election in Ohlo yester- day in nowise changes my opinion in refer- £nCe 10, MY proposed candidacy for the presidency, of which position the public has been fully advised. COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 4—More complete returns today indicate that the plurality of Herrick, republican, for governor, over Johnson, democrat, will exceed 125,000, but that the rest of the republican state ticket will not have so jarge a plurality. As the republieans not only carried the doubtful counties and districts, but also some that were conceded to the democrats, the majority on joint ballot in the legisia- ture for the re-election of Senator Hanna is now placed at 9 out of a total member- ship in both branches of 143, almost three times as many as two years ago, when the republicans had what was considered an unprecedented majority on joint ballot for the re-election of Senator Foraker. As Senator Hanna had only one majority on Joint ballot six years ago, and as he was the issue In this campalgn, the result is generally commented on more as a victory than anything else. Chairman Dick says: *“Hanfia's person- ality ad it The large wagers that were placed *on information from headquarters 4id not go above 75,000 for Herrick. The betting republicans have “all kinds of -mone; getting' most of It on much less than half of Herrick's plurality. A syndicate of Cincjnnati and Columbus republicans made very large winnings from democrats at Cleveland. This syndi- cate refused to bet even on Cuyahoga county, the home of Hanna and Herrick, which the republicans carried by an un- precedented majority. Today an effort is being made to ascer- tain whether Johnson carried one-fourth of the countles, twenty-two out of the elghty-eight. He did not carry one-fourth of the state senatorial districts. The over- whelming result also caused much interest in what are called ‘high water marks." Ohlo never exceeded the “one hundred thousand mark"” but twice before. This was when John Brough, during the civil war, republican, was elected governor by 10,049, and iIn the panic of 1884 when the democrats did not come out to vote, the republicans carried Ohio for secretary of state by 187,070, The only other time when anything ap- proaching these marks was reached was last year, when the republicans carried the state by 90,465 for secretary of state and when Mayor Tom L. Johnson was al- most as much an issue as this year, and controlled the democratic state convention s completely last year as this year. CINCINNATI, Nov. 4~The vote complete in Hamilton county for governor stands: Herrick, §2627; Johnson, 22719; Cowen, 4,267, Herrick's plurality, 29,908, CINCINNATI, Nov. 4.—From official and unofficlal returns recelved today from all the counties fn Ohio the plurality of Her- rick, rep,, for governor over Jehnson is placed at 112,08, New York. NEW YORK, Nov. 4—New York state yesterday gave a majority of nearly 250,00 in favor of the proposition that the state shall spend $101,000,000 for improving its canals. The plan is to widen and deepen the Erle canal so that it will accommodate barges of 1,00 tons carrying capacity and to improve the Oswego and Champlain canals. George B. McClellan (dem.) will be the next mayor of Greater New York, having defeated Mayor Seth Low for re-election by & plurality of 63,617, complete unofficial re- turns having been received from every elec- tion district in the city, By the same re- turns Comptroller Edward M. Grout and Charles V. Fornes, president of the Board of Aldermen, running for re-election on the democratic ticket, though elected two years ago as fusionists, defeated their fusion opponents by 65,79 and 64,978 plu- rality, respectively, Comptrolier Grout leading the city ticket. The sweeping democratic victory was ac- complished for the democratic city and birough tickets in four of the five bor- oughs of the municipality, and Richmond borough (Staten Island) giving Low a plu- rality and electing fusion borough officers. J. Edward Swanstrom, who it was thought last night might be elected president of Brooklyn borough, was defeated by Martin W. Littleton, the democratic candidate, by 2129 plurality, in spite of Littleton's atti- tude opposing the democratic city ticket. MeClellan's total vote for mayor was 314,- 906 to 21,289 for Low. William 8. Devery, in- dependent candidate for mayor, polled only 2,635 votes in the entire city, getting 2,671 of these in Manhattan and the Bronx, 26 in Brooklyn, 38 in Queens and none in Richmond.

The contest {n Douglas county has re- sulted in what may be called a general re- publican victory, although majorities were not returned for all the republican candi- dates. The count in Omaha and South Omaha progressed very slowly, so that it was 2 yesterday afternoon before The Bee was able to glve complete figures as to results. Judge Barnes has held Judge Sulll~ van down to a paltry plurality of less than 20, whereas Thompson, the democratic candidate for governor, went out of Doug- ias county last year with a plurality of 2,400. Judge Bulllvan ran ahead of the democratic ticket, the republican candi- dates for regent polling handsome ma- jorities in Douglas county. On the judiclal ticket the democrats and disgruntied republicans made a desperate effort to elect the so-called bar nominees, particularly Judge Complete clal candidates a falr lead, Sutton and Sears being lowest, with no possibility for Dick- inson to overtake one of them by votes to come from the outside countles, The republican school board ticket has also won out from top to bettom by com- fortable majorities that will average in the nelghborhood of 1,000.

Lofland | Wi RESULT IN NEBRASKA Barnes Oarries the State by at Least Ten, Thousand Plurality. THIRTY-NINE COUNTIES ARE COMPLETE artial Results Are at Hand from Prace tically All the Others. PLURALITY OF REGENTS WILL BE HIGHER Returns on Distriot Judges Ave in Many Oases Inoomplete. REAVIS, REPUBLICAN, LOSES IN FIRST Running Mate on the Tieket s Elected, but He Goes Down Result of Bitter Fae- tional Fight, Complete returns have been recelved from forty-nine of the ninety counties in the state and partial ones from practically all of the remainder, The forty-nine coun- tles complete, including Douglas and Gage, represent considerably over half the total vote of the state. In these counties Barnes, rep, for supreme judge, has a plu- rality of 5,107. In the same counties two years ago Sedgwick had a plurality of 9,166, These figures taken In connection with the partial returns from the remaining counties Indicate that the plurality of Barnes, in the state will be 10,00. The heaviest lo#s for Barnes, as compared with the Sedgwiok vote, was in Douglag county, where it aver- aged almost twenty to the precinct. Out in the state, particularly in the counties having no large towns, he has not lost anything or at the most only & fraction of this figure. These counties are, as a rule, the ones only partially reported. From this it would seem a safe estimate 1o place Barnes' plurality at the figure named. There is nothing at hand upon which to base an accurate estimate of the vote for regents, but the meager returns would indi- cate that they will have a larger plurality than the head of the ticket. In the judiclal districts the republicans have been successful in fifteen, the fusion- ists in four, with one in doubt. Reavis, rep., is defeated in the first district, though the republicans elect the other judge. This is due to a bitter factional fight which was waged upon him, The complete returns by counties follow: Co Franklin Fi *Plurality. **Two precincts missing. What Candidates Say. | LINCOLN, Nov. 4—(Special Telegram.)— Returns received at state headquarters from 393 precincts give Barmes 3,574 and Bullivan 25,045. The republican majority in' these precincts ls 26 less thHan two years ago. Chalrman Weber of the populist com- mittee concedes Barnes' election by from 5,000 to 8,000, When asked what had become of hin wet weather voters, Mr. Weber sald: “Of the voters brought out by the wet weather Sullivan got a majority, but we could not keep the other tellows in line." : Judge Sullivan sald: “I am paying little atteption to the returns. I made wy fight in the Third ward at Columbus and if I carry that I will be satisfied.” When assured of his election Judge Barnes sald: “I feel gratified for -this ex- pression of confidence of the people. The state committee deserves great credit for the campalgn It waged.” John L. Webster was pleaséd at the re- turns received and said it meant 20,00 ma- Jority for President Roosevelt. The state committee concedes the defeat of Reavis for judge in the First district. Definite figures on yesterday's election will probably be lacking for days. Suf- ficlent returns have been received, however, to make it certain that Barmes has been elected assoclate justice of the sgrpeme court by from 7,000 to 10,000 and the balance | of the republican state ticket by about |5,000.
