It is the conviction at the depart- ment that the ofMiclals at Cartagena, which is in the province of Bollvar, ure acting entirely without authority from the Col- omblan government at Bogota and, in fact, it s suspected that a state approaching anarchy exists throughout Colombla. While the State department cannot act in the case of its consul until the matter is made the subject of a formal report, It is believed that the British guvernment will not tolerate such unauthorized Interfer- ence with its merchant shipping In time of peace.

Fugenie Blair, who s now playing in this | clty, received a telegram from Henrl Gres- | sitt, her manager, yesterday, Informing her that he had secured the rights for the latest Carter success, “DuBarry,” for next season. Although Miss Blair, through her manager, has been negotiating for “Du Barry" for some time, the news of fits Acquirement comes as a surprise to her at this time, when Mr. Gressitt and Mr. Belasco are engaged in a bitter legal con- test in New York over the rights to “Zaza." Mr. Belasco and Charles Frohman are the Joint owners of both “Zasa” and “Du | ton, 8. C.

The Towa delegation, after éight frultless ballots today to name a successor to Judge Shiras, adjourned to meet Wednesday, De- cember 9. For the last' week but four can- didates for the plice have been voted on, Messrs. Healy of Fort Dodge, Reed of Cresco, Dawley of Cedar Raplds and Wright of Sioux City.

It was given out that no decision was reached behind c'osed doors and that the fire engine question Is still undecided. It was 3:35 when the council got together with Vice President Nicholson in the chalr, as President Zimman was late. The mayor's call specified that the meeting was for the purpose of arranging to buy fire apparatus and to take suitable action’ with regard to the death of the four firemen In the fire Thureday morning. Councilman Back called upon him for a statement and the mayor sald: A calamity has overtaken the fire de- partment, and I think the council should pass appropriate resolutions of respect in { honor of the dead firemen. 1 have ordered the front of the city hall and all engine houses in the city draped in mourning. We should a'l attend the funerals and the reso- i lutions should be drafted so they may be passed at a subsequent meeting. Need of More Apparatus. “We are congronted with the proposition regarding fir” apparatus. We have only two first-class englnes. Yesterday both were out of commission for a time and one of them Is in the shop today for a new pump. All our engines have been in service from eight to fifteen years. With the ex- ception of one they are third-class in size and inadequate. I belleve the city shouid have four new engines, but I am well aware of the financial conditions and knfw this is practically an impossibility at this time. We might have one under contract, We need another eighty-five-foot hook and ladded truck and possibly another water tower. 1 have had my attention called to the latter feature by prominent jobbers who pay heavy taxes. They are iooking to us to provide the department with the proper tools to work with. If we had had another tower to place in the alley behind the fire Thursday morning the result might have been different. “We should have more modern hose carts with hydrants attached so that water can be thrown direct from the cart.

Not a Time for Experiment. “The citizens of Omaha are demanding a better class of tools for the department, and I am here to ask you if the previous action on the fire engine matter cannot be reconsidered and a contract let at once for the Metropolitan engine. The Nott people have never riade an extra first-class engine such as we want and need. I don't Lhink we can afford to cxperiment with an engine which has never been bullt.

The en- dorsement of our fire chief, and there is no better fire fighter in the country today than Salter, should count for something. a long ways with me. I deplore the fric- tion that seems to continually exist between | different branches of the city government. We are all elected by the taxpayers to serve them, and we should consider their inter- ests all the time.

When Mayor Moores had finished Coun- cllman Dyball Immediate'y called for an ex- ecutive session, which was not’ opposed. Before the meeting several councilmen declared that the statements of the mayor had placed them in a false position before | the public and they deefred it understood that the present body had nothing to do with the purchase of the lot at Eleventh and Jackson streets and the construction of the engine house there. Even though they had ordered the fire engine a few weeks ago when the matter was up, they pointed out, the action could not possibly have affected the recent fire. President Zimman announced to a re- | porter that he would reply to the charges | of Mayor Moores at the council meeting Tuesday _night.

NEBRASKA FAIR COMMISSION Members Push Forward Plans for the Exhibit at the St. Exposition, Louts The meeting of the Nebraska commission to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition on Friday afternoon was of more than passing interest, and considerable business was transacted, aside from the regular routine work. James Walsh, superiniendent of agricultural exhibits, submitted an elab- orate and comprehensive report relative to the materials thus far collected for exhibi- tion at the exposition for Nebraska, and the manner of their preparation and preser- vation. A splendid collection has thus far been accumulated, and is being added to constantly, which surpasses anything of the kind ever undertaken In the state hereto- fore, either in quantity, excellence. or variety. 7 Plans were. also submitted. by Thomas Kimball, architect, for the preparation of a reception room, lavatory and other conven- lences for Nebraska headquarters at the exposition, in connection with the Nebraska exhibits and adjacent to them, in the space allotted for Nebraska in the Agricultural bullding.

The soldlers arrived at 3:3 this morning and an hour later were loaded into wagons and started on the forty-mile drive to the Little Bitter Root. Government officials came In by another train and reported that Morrigeau was still on the reservation and They state that the Indlan- police absolutzly refuse to eject the catileman, owing to their fear of the Nez Perces, The Nez Perces are a band of about 100 under Chief Carry Water and have been located in isolated sections of the Flathead reservation for the last year. They refuse to recognize the officers or the Indlan police and have staved off the Flatheads | for months. Morrigeau has engaged the band to assist him and unless Major Terrey and his soldiers get hold of the cattle be- fqre the Nez Perces are brought up trouble is bound to occur. The troops sent out from Fort Missoula are picked fighters and are expected to outclass twice their number of Nez Perces. A courler arrived at Plains at 6 p. m. this evening to report that the troops were within two hours' march of the Morrigeau camp and had halted for the night.
