PANAMA, Nov. 19.—Two events of great magnitude to them cheered the hearts of the Isthmians yesterday. The junta, fc- companfed by Ministers Espriella Morales and Ricardo Arias, returned the official visit of Rear Admiral Glass on board the flagship_ Marblehead. On boarding the crulser ‘they were recelyed by Admiral Glass ‘and the cofimanders bf the Upited States warships Wyoming and Baston. All the An erican vessels manned ship, the flag of Panama hoisted and twenty-one mn:.:fié by cach ship. After being on board the Marble- head about half an -hour and listening to talks by represertatives of the government and Admiral Glass, the Panamanlans re- turned 'to the shore amfdst the firing of salutes from the Amerlean warships. The second event of great importance to the Panamanians wils the fecelpt of news that France had recognized the republic, which added considerably to the joyous feeling of the fhhabltants. Large crowds, with & band of muslc, went to the residence of the French consul, who very courteously recelved his numerous friends, amidst frenzied cheers for France. It _is announced that the French colony at Bogota has extended sympathy to the government.and offers to give $500,000 for fts support. General Reyes Arrives. COLON, Nov. 19.—Generals Reyes, Ospina and Holguin, appointed as commissioners by the Colomblan government to come to the isthmus to negotiate for terms of peace looking “to the saving of the national honor,” arrived here tonight on the French steamer Canada. There wi great excitement on the ar- rival of the Canada. Hundreds of persons flocked to the neighborhood of the whart, but were prevented from reaching the ves- #el by marines landed from the United States warships as soon as the Candda was sighted. The marines now guard the wharf. Captain Merrlam of the United States auxillary , crulser Dixle Immediately went aboard the Canada and conveyed fo Gen- eral Reyes the result of the mission of the Bolivarians. He invited General Reyes and the other members of the commission to come aboard the Dixfe, but the general and his companions declined.

After an all day session of the board of directors of the company, at which the proposal sub- mitted by the strikers te Mayor Harrison stating the terms on which ‘they would settle, was considered, a counter proposal was prepared by -the officers of the rail- ay company and sent to the mayor to- hight. As soon as the document was re- celvod at the city hall the executive com- mittee of the strikers' union was sent for, but as only half the members of the com- mittee put in an appearance no action can be taken on the answer of the company until tomorrow. Mayor Harrison sald that some &light modifications had been made by the company officials In their original answer to the demands of the mien. What the modifications were the mayor decined to say. When asked as to the prospects of a set- tlement of the strike Mayor Harrison said: “I am more hopeful than I was after our conference last night, when the outlook was decidedly gloomy. Both sides seem willing to continue negotiations, and while there 18 life there is hope.” ’ President Mahon of the Amalgamated Streot Car men's union, after reading the communication from the officers of the rallway company declined to make any statement, saying that the proposal would have to have the censideration of the en- tire executive committee of the local union before anything could be made public, He lexpected to have a reply to the company's counter proposal tomorrow morning. One Serious Riot. A serious riot occurred this evening at Thirty-eighth street and Wentworth ave- nue. It was quelled by the vigorous work of the police. They were compelled to charge the mob and to use their clubs treely The trouble began when a wrecking | wagon, manned by a nonunion crew and guarded by six speclal policemen, passed Thirty-seventh street and Wentworth ave- nue. ‘A crowd quickly gathered and fol- lowed it. When Thirty-elghth street was reached, 200 men were around the wagon, which they threatened to destroy, and then offered viclence to the men. Just in the nick of time two cars, carrying eighteen policemen, came up. The crowd drew back and allowed the wagon to pass, Soon after the wagon and car, carryihg the officers had left Thirty-elghth street the two cars came up from the opposite direction. As they were crossing Thirty-eighth street the mob let fiy a shower of stones, demolish- ing the car window and causing four pas- sengers on the first car to flee. The mob then swarmed on the cars and had begun (o beat the train crews when the two cars with the policemen and the crew of the wrecking wagon came hurrying back. The mob, which had greatly imcreased by this time, was in an ugly témper and refused to move. The police drew their revolvers and clubs and chargéd. The mob used stones and curses, while the polfcs swung thelr clubs' with vigor. There was a warm fight, which lasted about two minutls, snd then the mob broke and fled in all direc- tions, A number of' those engaged in’ the rioting were arrested. Teamsters Quit Work. Renewal of hostilities between the Chi- cago City Railway company and its em- playes began promptly today, following the tailure of the attempts at arbitration. All efforts of the mayor to secure arbitra- tlon of the differences between the Chicago City rallway and its striking employes had falled. The annguncement was madeé fol- lowing a serief of conferences -between Mayor Harrison and his medistion commit- tee of aldermen and committees represent- ing the company and the strikers. It was | stated that the meedngs developed no com- mon meeting ground of the opposite sides and that for the present there is no s.gn of an amicable settlement. A meeting of the exccutive councils of all teamsters’ unions was called to meet this afternoon to. take action. upon the refusal-of Mayor Harrison to accede to a demand by the Chicago Federation of Labor that the police be recalled from the car lines pending negotiations for settle- ment. The first development in the fight was a strike of all the teamsters in the employ of the company. Iu all sixty drivers quit work. The strike of the teamsters was in obedi- ence to the teamsters' joint council. It is the intention of the Teamsters' union, It possibie, to prevent the delivery of coal and | supplies to the railway company and: the | operating of its repalr wagons. Thus far { the company has been able to keep three days' supply of coal in its bins and no fear is admitted by the officlals that there is danger of the power houses having to be shut down from, lack of fuel. The action of the jo.nt counell was taken, according to the officlal records, because Edward Dwy & member of the Team- sters’ union, refused to haul nonunfon elec tric workers In his wagon and was there upon discharg Dwyer s secretary of the Street Car Teamsters’ union. Ruises Quent f Supply. This is sald to mesn that the company cannot get a pound of coal or supplies of any kind without employing nonunion drivers. The company, anticipating the re- fusal of the teamsters to haul supplies, is sald to be planning to Gbtain feodstufts by means of the steam railroad. A shop at Thirty-ninth street and Emerald avenue is connected with the Chicago & Eastern 1ili- noiw tracks and with the street rallway will be used, it I said, ‘as a base of eup- plies. The stand taken by the street railway officials upon the “closed shop" contention of the strikers, which contention was said to have been abandoned by the men, was made clearer' taday when (he substance Harrison und the aldermanic mediation committee last night was learned. The di- rec.ors said in effect that Atiorney Darrow, counsel for the strikers, in drawing up the “closed shop” proposition modifications had oniy changed ‘the wording and that what was embraced in the clause meant the same as a closed shop. The directors, it was said, would agree (o nothing except companies by means of switch tracks, and | of the letter sent by the directors to Mayor | an absolute walver of that proposition. They would not, they #aid, allow the union to control the road. The letter further charged that union employes had committed thefts and more serious crimes and that the directors of the company would not let men of that callber have any voice, direct or indirect, in the manugement The tieup on the Halsted street line of the Chicago city rallway was broken today by placing in commission five cars. This is the fourth line to be opened. Limited service on Wentworth, Cottage Grove and Indiane avenue vas malbtalued today wilh FRIDAY, little trouble. Police detsils aecompanied each car and train sont out No Ome Had to Pay. Police defalls accompanied each car and train sent out, but the force of patrolmen stationeéd along the three lines - previously opened was materially reduced to provide protection for the Halsted street line, which traverses n district in which trouble is be- leved to be more likely to occur. This line 1a orle of the main feeders for a large ter- ritory dirfounding the Unfon stock yards and extends southward 0 West Seventy- ninth street, traversirg the business ceriter of the city by way of Clark street, which it enters at Twenty-second street. In spite of fear that violence would be encountered when the stock yards were reached there was no trouble, Starting at Seventy-ninth street the cars sped along at a_ good rate of speed and with but few stops. No attempta were made to eollect fares, and only about a dogen persons, chiefly newspaper reporters, aside from. police and .trainmen occupled the o Alfred @rannis, a broker, 43 years of age, was attacked and badly beaten today in a fight growing out of a dispute with WO young men as to the street car strike. Granniy, who sided with the steps taken in placing policemen on cars, received a blow in the face, which felled him. Before he could regain hie feet the men set upon him, kicked and pummeled him severely in the face and about' the body, rendering him unconscious. His assallants were pur- sued by an angry crowd, which was only prevented from wreaking vengeance upon the men by a policeman, who arrested them. Militia Told to Be Ready. One point that will be insisted upon by the strikers in the event of submission of the controversy to arbitration s that the sessions shall be open to the public The Chicago Federation of Labor has offi. clally and formally requested the mayor to withdraw. the pclice from the street cars while negotiations for a settlement of the strike are pending. Meanwhile owing to the action of the police in keeping teamsters off Clark atreet and Wabash avenue to a large cxtent, there Is talk of the drivers agreeing to re- main away from all the downtown streets an entire day, with a view of retallation. Following a custom when serious strikes are in progress, militia commanders have glven orders in some instances that mem- bers of militla companies be ready for service. . A Galesburg, company has. re- ceived specific orders to be ready for any emergency that may call for its services. President Mahon reports a telegram from 8an Francisco pledging $31,000 to support of the strikers. —— A Guaranteed Cure for Itching, Blind, Bleoding or Protruding Plles.

HORN MAKES ~ CONFESSION Tells Oheyenne Preacher tiat He Killed Willie Niokell as Conviotéd. GOVERNOR LIFE OF IS THREATENED Letters Prominent Sheepman Say Bot Will Be Killed if Horn In Executed. State Executive and to DENVER, Nov. 19.—A special to the Post from Cheyenne, Wyo., says that Tom Horn confessed today to Rev, lra D. Willlams that he Is guilty of the murder of Willle Nickell, the crime for which he is to be hanged tomorrow. According to the Times report Mr. Willlams asked Horn: “Are you not sorry for your sins?’ “Yes," replied Horn with an almost in- audible volce. ““And do you not have committed ?" “1 do." s y “Did Horn at any time deny his guilt?" was asked of Mr. Whllams. “Oh, no, he made no denfal, but in fact soveral times admitted that he was guilty of the erime. There is no doubt as to that point.” “There Is only one thing which keeps Horn from collapse and offering up a full | confession of hix misdoings,” continued Rev. Mr. Willlams, “and that is the firm bellef which he holds that his cowhoy friends will rescue him. This wae evident to me throughout the whole conversation." Threaten to Kill Two. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 19.—Governor Chatterton has received a letter written on stationery of the Albany hotel, in Denver, threatening him with death unless he com- mutes the sentence of Tom Horn, who is to be hanged here tomorrow for the mur- der of Willle Nickell. The letter declares in substance that if Horn is permitted to hang Governor Chatterton will not be per- mitted to live twenty-four hours. The gov- ernor does not regard the threat seriously. George Jackson, & wealthy sheepman from Rawlins, is in Cheyenne and has asked aid of the authorities in running down a written threat that he would be killed if Tom Horn hangs. I belleve 1 will find who wrote the letter to me when it is compared with those received by the governor and by zome friends of the con- demned man,” sald Mr. Jackson. George, Hyatt, one of Horn's closest friends, came to town today, and it was at once reported that he would join in a plot to rescue Horn. He lzughs at the rumor. However, there are hundreds of cowboys in town, and one company of twenty-five and another of tairty-five arrived during the day. Bets of $50 and $100 are being made at even money that Horn will not hang. The officials accept these bets as meaning there will be an attempt to rescue Horn and have doubled the guard. Horn Gives Up Hope. Horn, realising that all hope was gone, prepared tonight for death. Rev. Mr. Wat- son of 8t. Mark's Episcopal church, as- sisted by a choir of three, had a service in the cell of the condemmed cattie detective tonight, at which Horn for the first time succumed. to religious influence. The serv- ice was a dramatic one, and during the singing of the hymn, “Jesus, Lover of My Soul,”” Horn first showed & realization. of his position. During Mr. Watson'sprayer Jim McCloud, who broko jail with Hors last summer, burst into passionate weeping. Horn seemed slow -to melt. and finally knelt down and prayed with the minister. After the service was over Horn declared to_Mr. Watson that he realized his position and that there was no hope for him. He then told the minister he had been reading the Bible and he believed he would go straight to his Maker. Rev. Watson states that Horn is not an Infidel, although his knowledge of veligion is most rudimentary, Horn was given letters from his two sis- ters tonight, one in Cahada and one in Miaseuri, and thelr heart-breaking fare- wells falled to destroy his marvelous com- posure. repent the crime you Expect No Trouble, ‘The aufhorities here do not expect an at- tempt to rescue Horu tonight, but in spite | of this they have taken most extraordinary | precautions. The outside of the jail is heavily guarded by militiamen. ‘iy‘dc the sheriff, his deputics and half a dozen other Wyoming sheriffs, assembled here for the execution, stand ready to resist any at- tack. The vigilance of the authorities and | their fear of the desperation of Horn's ! friends is evidenced by the fact that Charley Trwin, a prominent cowboy and dovoted friend of Horn's, this afternoon se- cured a letter frcm Governor Chatterton asking Shorift Smaller If the latter deemed it gafe to permit Irwin to speak to Horn in his cell. This the sherlff refused to do. | All preparations for the execution are | now complete and unless the unexpected | be gent, but the number would be in mr} neighborhood of #0 0. Tt will"be a mixed command, including infantry, cav- alry and artillery, and will be under the command of Major Zeph T. Hill Governor Peabody sald that he had re celved advices late today to the effect that the few unlon miners who haxe been at work timbering in the Smugkler-Unlon mine were called out today, and that they forced'the nonunion men to come out With them. Otherwise the situation in the dis. trict {s unchanged. There are five mines, power house, some two mills, a large | long aerial tramways and several miles of cloctric feed wires ex | tending over a section of country thre femiles wide and twenty miles long, and in altitude ranging fram 5,00 to 12000 feet | BOSTON, Nov. 19.-The American Fi tion 6f Labor today disposed summarily of{ the “‘open shop™ issue, as ralsed in the case | of Willlam A. Miller, now employed in the government printing office at Washington and the Miller case itself by unanimously declaring In favor of the union shop in | government as well as in private enter- | prises, and by petitioning President Roose- | velt to re-examine the evidence offered against *Miller, and if verified to remove Miller from the seryice. Although the | resolution adopted presented the federa tion's view on both “open shop” and the | Miller case, the fssues are kept entirely dis- tinct. The re-examination of the Miller case is nmot required because Miller is a nonunlonist, a,circumstance formerly urged as a reason for his removal, but because the federation believes Miller is “totally un- fit to be dn charge of working people.” Resolutions were adopted favoring the | construetion of the Panama canal by citi- | zens of the United States, urging that the Chinese exclusion act be made to apply to the Philippine and Hawatian fslands and favoring women's suffrage and the election of the president and of United States sena- tors by a direct vote o Employes to Share CHICAGO, Nov. 19.—Faithful employes of the McCormick Harvesting Machine com- pany, which sold out to the International Harvester company in 1902, are to have a share in the profits of the new company, according to an ofticial announcement made today.
