No surprise is expressed here over the repost that these departments are making an effort to align themselves with the Republic of Panama. The two depart- ments named and also that of Bolivar are the, most prosperous in the whole Colom- bian tetritory. They contiibute the greater portion of the revenues for the federal treasury, that of Antloquia alone paying about one-third of the entire amount. The Antfoquians are known as the Yankees of Colombia and are progreasive and business- like people. For a long time there has been dissatisfaction and discontent among the people of these departments over the man- agement of affairs by the politiclans at Bogota, by whom they say their rights have been disregarded and their interests treated Indifferently. A disposition toward secession has manifested itself among them and an open revolt at this time would not bé surpris'ng. The department of Cauca will benefit more largely than that of any other except Panama from the construction of canal across the {sthmus. ° Colombian Army Active. NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—Cabling from Bo- capital of Colombla, under date cf cofrespondent suys that General Rafael Reyes left Honda | today for Barranquilla. He has been con- sulting with the government regarding the necessity of dividing his responsibilities with the Colomblan army and solving the groat actual problem of the presidency by designating Nicolas Esquena, liberal, for the presidency, and Joaquin ¥. Valez, con- strvative, for the vice presidency. The municipal council of Bogota has of- fered $600,00 to head a natlonal patriotic subscriptiom. Great military movements are golng on and the most supreme movements in Colombla’s history are coming. The French steamer due at Colon tomorrow ig expected to bring important news from Barranqyilla respecting the situation there. A strict censorship has been exercised over all telegrams from that port, and It is Delieved there {s trouble of some sort which Colombia desires to keep secret. Important events are also anticfpated between Venes- tiela and Colombia. It is reported here that President Castro may take advantage of the present situation to extend Venes- uela’s territory beyond the Orinoco. Guatemala Is Submissive, In respense to a request for the attituge of the government of Guatemala to! A the new Republic of Panama, President Manuel Estrada Cabrera has cabled the Herald as follows: In Guatemala the recognitign of the Re- Bubitc of Panama as & nation by the United tntes is re matter wholly within its right: n Ou emala, Panama’s soverelgnty will be observed And respected, Frederico Boyd, a member of the com- mission to this government from the new Republie of Panama, who has just arrived from Colon, says that in a few days a constitutional convention will meet to for- mulate & system of government, which will | follow closely the lines of the United States constitutions In discubsing the revdlution he was asked: “What assurances, iIf any, did you have from the United Btates In reference to its attitude toward the uprising?' “We knew, of course,” he replied, “that American men-of-war would be there to see that the traffic across the isthmus was not interrupted by fighting, and we knew for that reason the landing of Colombian troops would not be permitted. Outside of that we had no assurances, What we did we did on gur own responsibility and we depended upon the justice of our cause for | recognition.” ‘The question of possible annexation of the isthmus to the United States had not yet been talked about?” ‘The sentiment of the people of Panama," Mr. Boyd answered, “Is to make the isth- mus what it seems destined to be from its geographical position, and to place it-whe: it can perform most efficiently its mission 1o the interest of progress and civilisation and become what it has been intended to be—a link binding together the two Amer- s And & gateway between two worlds.

Jusserand, the French ambassador at Washington, has re- ported to the Foreign office that he had a conference with M.

GROSVENOR MAKES FORECAST , Ohio Oongressman Tells His Opinioa of Homlt of Eeotion Next Year. MICHIGAN MAN ATTACKS WO0D'S RECORD Uses Language Possibly Libelous in Actlon of Army Officer in Matter of Cuban Reciprocity. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-The house re- sumed consideration of the Cuban bill to- day. Mr. Grosvenor (0.) opening the de- bate. He prefaced his rematks by saying that whi'e. the debate had taken a wide range he regretted there had been no dis- cussfon on the -other sfde of the house on the Panama cannl question, and in this con- nection he said the position of the admin- tstration was unassuilable and would re- dound to the glory of the Americkn people. Mr. Grosverior sald he would not per- mit his vote-on (hie question to be: chal- lenged as affecting hie attitude on the dominant question of protection to Ameri- can industries. Spenking of tarift revision, he maj¢ the republicans would revise the schedule when they got ready to do so and in thelr own way without any ald from the opposite side of the hotse and that the revision would' be with special reference to the upbullding of American Industrigs without disturbing present con- dittons, Answering a statement made by Mr. Clark (Mo.) as to conditions existing when Mr. Cleveland went in as president Mr. Grosvenor said: Immediately upon the election of Cleve- land there waws practically a suppressi of the income of the revenues of the gov- ernment_Into the treasury of the United States. It was natural; it was inevitable. It would happeén again' if somebody other than Roosevelt should be elected presi- dent next year. Mr. Grosvenor introduced a letter writ- ten by Charles Koster, former secretary of the ‘treasury, under President Hurri- son, to Senator Foriker, dated October 2, 13, in Whigh he states the condition of the treasuty when Harrfson retired and Cleveland became president. He gave in detall facts in_connectign with the prepara- tion of bond plates in February, 1883, and of the steps taken after consulting, as he sald, with Senators Shérman and Gorman and Mr. Carlisle, Who was to become Mr. Clevéland's secretary of the treasury. It fe stated in’the letter that Mr. Foster turned over to Mr. Carlisle $103,000,000. Tilt Between Grosvemor and Clark. While speaking of the prospects for the democratic party Mr. Clark (Mo.) asked if Mr. Grosvenor knew that of the nine- teen men convicted In St. Louls, sixteen of them were republicans. “I don't know,” replied Mr. Grosvenor. “If that fs true it don’t speak well for the hdministration of justice.” Loud ap- plause followed on the republican side. Mr, Grosvenor, replying to the statement of Mr, Clark (Mo.) as to the probability of the democrats gaining control of the next congress and elacting the next presi- dent, said he would show what the result would be. The ¢emocrats, he sald, would carry Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Ken- tucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Mr. Sulter (N. Y.)—And you might add New York. Mr. Grosvenor—I might add Ohio, but 1 won't.” (Laughter on the republican side.)’ He sald the democrats would find some fighting ground in Delaware and Jdaho, possibly. Maryland, he said, was in doubt and Montana was somewhat doubtful. “I put New York in this column ag my own judgment,” he sald, adding that it the democrats do not carry New York City by double the vote given Mr. Mc- Clellan they would be defeated in that He said this gave the democrats 151 votes and sixty-two doubtful. He then named the following as the republican California, Colorado, Connecticut, indiana, lowa, Kansas, Maine, Michi Minnesota, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohlo, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, West Vir- ginla, Wisconsin, Wyoming, with & total of 263 votes. Mr, G osvenor said the Panama question would not afford the democrats an issue, and in this connection sald there was no Aguinaldo down there, as all are on our side of the isthmus. Mr, Grosvenor was frequently interrupted with questions from members of the minority side. He spoke for more than an hour and was loudly ap- plauded on the republican side during and at the close of his remarks. Mr. Richardson (Ala,) said the benefit to the cotton industry of the south, which will result from the 40 per cent reduction in the cotton schedule In the Cuban treaty was the reason for his sipport. ordney Attacks Wood's Record. Mr. Fordney (rep., Mich.), in speaking on the bill, said he wanted to ecriticise Major General Wood, for it had been proved that he had extracted *‘from those poor starving Cubans” $20,000, which he had paid to Thur- bur to influence legislation. “Oh, what an action by a high official continued -Mr. Fordney. “He claimed that the Cubans were starving and then reached his long fingers into the Cuban treasury and hinded out $20,000 to this —" and here Mr. Fordney called names which might be considered libelous uttered anywhere, save in congress, Mr. Fordney sald General Wood had testified before a senate commit- tee that he had rearched the whole island, and that all the sugar that he could find that belonged to the trust was 3,28 tons. YA few days later Mr, Havemyer testified that the trust had $3,000 tons of sugar In Cuba. Wood only missed it by $0,000 tons. That is net much for a military officer. The average American soldler is o better marksman than that. 1 ceuld beat it my- “:ln Fordney sald the government ot OCuba had $4,000,000 in its treasury and was better oft than other governments if ‘their debts were pald. The bill was to benefit prosperous Cuba, at-the expense of the tarmers of the United States. Mr. Loud, (Mich.), speaking in opposition to the bill, sald the adoption of the Cuban measure would jeopardize the home sugar industry, would retard and fmpede the growth of that industry and lessen the rev- enues by $10,000000. As & business propo- sition, he =ald unreasonable chances were Delng taken 1o secure & net result of a few millions. He would yleld to no one in his loyaltly to the president, but he knew that it he represented the -Tenth district of Michigan he would oppose it. Other Michigan Men Talk. Mr. MacMoran, rep. (Mich.), who also op- posed the bill, said the republicans had joined hands with the democrats to pass this bill, which he characterized as a free trade measure—tariff for revenue only. Mr. Fordney, rep., (Mich.) vigorously op- smeak- ol ever since 1 have » atterward admittod the Sugar trust and committee on ways tleman from Min- n in cong that he was p ifed when before nd mewns when otn (Mr. Taw recelved ANy mon the Sugar trust in manner and he sajd “no,” but a few days later when placed on oath testified that he had recelved money from Havemeyer and also testified that Ne had received money direct from Major Gemeral Wood, governor of Havana Fears the Sugar Trast. Mr. Fordney sald that with the reduc- flon on the tariff on sugar which would follow this bill, the trust at fta will would dice the price of sugar to a point with which the beet sugar people could not compete and when they had them crushed raise the price. He also sald that every pound of sugar from Cuba goes through the refinery of elther the American Sugar Refining company or the Arbuckles, one having a capacity of 40,000 barrels a day and the 20,000 barrels a day, sufficlent capacity to supply all the sugar to all the people of this country for many years. fpeaking of beet sugar production he said: What they want is to wipe this out. They have come into the state of Michigan and have become Interested in ten of our twent factorics, and what for? They were afrald of that competitor. It 18 cheaper to go there and buy up those factories and sell them for acrap iron and get the benefit of the enormous sum that would come to them through this measure than it is to fight this competition. Mr. Fordney presented figures showing the acreage of Michigan devoted to sugar Deets, and spoke of the serious consequences which he sald would follow the passage of the bill. Mr. Bell, dem. (Cal), followed in opposi- tion to the bill, saying the farmers of hLis state wanted the same medsure of protec- tion now afforded them, and he urged that the beet sugar rowers needed the protec- tion. He said the republicans who feel so certain that California would be in the sure republican column should go to that state and see how all the people of the state feel on thé question. “When you pass that law you strike a blow at one of our greatest in- dustries,” he said. from Havemeyer of 1y way, Shape of Mr. Gardner, rep, (Mich.), explained why he had changed his views and now favors the passage of the bill. In the first place conditions had changed in the last two years, He sald the president of a beet sugar plant in his district favored the bill. In conclusion he said the measure was the policy of the president, of his cabinet, of a majority of the senate and house, and those who stood out against it stood out against a great majority. Mr. Burgess, dem. (Tex), characterized the bill as an outrage and sald his party could not hope for success at the polls next year if it continued the policy of mak- ing tariff agreements affecting the agri- cultural and stock interests of the country. Reading an extract from an article written by Thomas B. Heed, Mr.-Burgesa said: ‘This simply means, stripped of all verbi ‘and the bare facts ..273.; that $20,000 was appropriated from the Cuban funds on youchers issued by Leonard Wood, en- dorsed the War department of this ad- ministration, reciting that they were the purpose of influencing legislation in this country, He continued: But to pursue the dirty and surreptitious methods (the facts concerning which had to be dragged out of Th\ll'berl throat In senate committee) 1s disgraceful and ruin- ous to any administration under the sun. No wonder postofice thievery obtains in the land when such acts as that can be gmloufly done in open suniight and no- y commenta upon such political thievery. Mr, Gillett (Mass.) sald the treatment of Cuba by the treaty was the ideal way to treat all dependencies of the United States which are nof intégral parts of the United tates. Mr, Shafroth, dem, (Colo.), added his op- position to the bill, saying it was undemo- '| aratic ana unrepublican and fraught with ddnger to Amerfean “industries. Her sald plans had been prepared for beet sugar plants in his state which would have risen if this legis'ation had not been proposed. He gald the measure was unfair and unjust to a growing Industry. Mr. Jones, rep. (Wash.), announced that he would vote for the bill. ‘The house at § p. m. adjourned. ASK INCREASE OF PENSIONS Dames of 1846 Petition Sen crease the Monthly stinehds.

CANNOT REMEMBER ANY DEAL Columbus Man Aceused of Handling Checks Awakes with a Blank Mind, Carl Rusch, late of Columbus, awoke to the fact that he had had $10) worth of ex- perleice Wednesday afternson, when the effects of a plethors of bad liguor wore off Busel immediately conceived that he had been heip up by a gang of confidence men and wen® to the police tation, where he related a hair-raising story of thrilling ad- vetitures with four men, who beat him out of all his available cash and a certifi- cate of deposit on the First National bank ot Columbus. 1t required just fifteen minutes for Ser- geant Heavey to get telephone oonnection with the Columbus bank and light on the | supposed confidence gawe began a: once to | shine. Busch wes traced from Columbu to Omaha's unlon depot Mouday, where ht-' arrived slightly “infiuenced.”’ From thence he wandered around the cily, stopping here and there to place orders With reputapie busingss firms and finally wound up at & well Rnown saloon. With a batch of biils & foot thick in his hands, he took position against the bar and during refreshments explained that he wanted the saloon keeper to foot up the bills, go with him to a’'bank and deposit his certificate for collection. All this was done in the regular business way &t the Unlon National bank and the certificate was sent to Columbus Thursday night for collection. Wednesday morning Busch called at the Omaha National bank and told his game story. Through this bank payment on the certificate was stopped, and Cashier Anderdon of Columbus notified Bergcant Heavey that the certifi- cate was being sent back to the Union Na tiohal unpald. Now comes the saloon man | and other creditors of Busch and the Union National bank to the front with the piaint that the transactions were all in accord- ance with good business principles and #ay that the mdn from Columbus must liguidate. Busch claims he does not re- member buying anything or being at any bank (o endorse the certifigate of deposit. — A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet, and Champague—well, buy Cook's Imperial. \ Wil Kaise the Quaranti AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 18 ~The state health department today reports freesing temper- atures throughout the entire stale except IM I.Ar.‘ & heavy f L It s a nouneod th-t ulm n- m.mn( of yellow fevs —_— Take Piso's Cure for Consumption Coushs, Colds and Consumption. e, MATCHES WRECK THRESHERS Fxpensive Beplosions in South Dakotn Flelds Dinclose Queer Scheme of Malicionsness.

D, Nov, 18.~(Special.) ~It {8 possible owners of threshing ma- chines will remain away from a limited territory near Ashton, Spink county, and all because of a condition of affalrs which it 1s safe to sav does not exist anywhere elre In the United States, Threshers who have operated this fall in the section referred to have had an unusual and costly expetience. First a threshing rig belonging to a man named Anderson, of North Dakota, was blown up while h op- eration on what Is knawn as the Townley farm, occupled by H. Welzine. The cause of the explosion was for a time a deep mystery, Welzine then induced the owner of a threshing rig which had been brought from Kansas to complete his threshing. The ma- chine had only been running a short time when It. too, exploded. Several of the crew had their hair and faces scorched, but, fortunately, no one was hurt After the explos'on of the first machine, in searching for the cause It was dicov- ered that some wcoundrel, for reasons known on'y to himself, had londed the grain stacke with matches, several hundred being found. As the danger was known to exist, Mr. Townley, Mr. Welzine and the owner of the second threshing machine agreed to divide the losses should any occur. After the second .explosion the stacks were again searched and rore matches were found. The three men are out $350 each through the explosion of the sepa- rator.
