The young people are widely known in this | | section of the State and they are very popular.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2L—At the ses- sion of the United Textile Workers of America to-day the convention completed the new constitution by which the differ- ent organizations of textile workers have been united and are to be governed here- after. A number of resolutions on subjects of pational interest were adopted, including the following: Condemning the ship sub- sidy bill as “‘the worst form of class leg- islation In that it proposes to tax all the | tated interests whose overflowing coffers | show that they are abundantly able to take care of themselves”; “that we stand special privileges to none,’ and oppose all | forms of subsidies and gratuities to pri- | vate interests”; asking that Congress strengthen and re-enact the Chinese ex- | cluston law, including in its provisions all Mongolian labor, and,urgmg the passage by Congress of a law forbidding the im- migration into this country of persons 15 vears of age and upward who cannot read the English language or some other language. Hunter Is Killed in a Fight. MIDDLESBORO, Ky., Nov. 21.—Ina fight with Virginia hunters who crossed the line into Tennessee one man was killed. The law does not permit game to be ca ried from the State of Tennessee and does not allow hunting on farms where notice is posted forbidding it. John Smith, on whose farm the intruders were found, asked them to leave. They refused. Smith and his sons armed themselves and drove them off. In the fight Thomas Wallace was killed.

CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. | W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—Indications show that the whisky distillers intend to make a tremendous effort this winter to have their tax reduced from $1 10 per gal- lon to 70 cents. The stake for which they are playing amounts to something like $60,000,000. The distillers at present have in bond in this country 148,074,491 gallons of whisky. According to Commissibner of Internal Revenue Yerkes it 1is dis- tributed as follows: In distillers’ ware- houses, 145,273,815 gallons; in general bonded warehouses, 1,284,647 gallons, and in special bonded warehouses, 1,516,029 gallons. This for this time of year is an unusually large amount of liquor in bond and should the distillers prevail on Congress to reduce the revenue tax they would make a saving of very nearly $60,~ | 000,000, a sum worth fighting for. An effort will be made by the distillers to come together on some common ground before any effort is made with Congress itself. Once united on a plan of action the different forces will work together and use every effort with Congress for a reduction, using the argument that the | reason no longer exists for war taxes and that the request to be put on the old basis is_nothing more than just. The brewers will fight for a stake of $24,000,000, based on the manufacture of beer last year, which amounted to 40,000, 000 barrels. They ask for a reduction of | the tax from $1 60 to $1. The distillers and | brewers have been unable to unite and | they will fight their cases separately. The | stock brokers of the country will also make a strong effort to have the war tax on the sale of shares removed. A dele- gation from the Consolidated Stock and Petroleum Exchange of New York called on the President to-day and presented the resolutions of the directors urging the re- peal of the war revenue measure requiring a stamp tax on the sale of shares or cer- tificates. Chairmar Payne of the Ways and Means Committee is known to favor a | substantial reduction in the war revenue and_those who are fighting for the old conditions before the Spanish war rely on him for assistance. TELEGRAPH OPERATORS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE Police Accuse Them of Being Con- nected With a “Green Goods” Swindle. NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—John B. Bert- holf, manager of the Eastern division of the Western Union Telegraph Company in Jersey City, N. J., was arrested to-day on the charge that he has been carrying on a ‘“‘green goods” business. The complaint was made by Chief of Police Murphy. The ggnce have several circulars sent to the uth and West and claim they can show that the telegraphic replies of prospective Vl;%tlms Wént glrect to Bel’tholz saac Kershaw, a telegrapher, transmitted some of the {erle%rams w:ll? leged to have been received by Bertholf and gave the police the statement against | | Hay gave assurances to Herran' that the {sson of the fact that Commander { the Liberals that there has been no un- Foreigners are being | transit | b COLOVBI IPEAL T UNCLE S Asks That Communica- tion Across Isthmus Be Maintained. Secretary Hay Gives Prompt Assurances That Treaty Will Be Upheld. After Taking Colon the Insurgents Are Very Careful Not to Dis- turb the Interests of Foreigners. — CALL BUREAU, 1406° G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—A formal appeal was made to Secretary Hay to-| day by Herran, Colombian Charge d’Af- faires, that the United States observe its | treaty stipulations and maintain free, un- { interrupted communication across _ the | Isthmus of Panama. In reply to this representation Secretary United States will permit no interruption | of traffic. Apparently the Liberals, who | have just captured Colon, are not anx- | fous to cause this Government to Inter- | vene more than it has already done, for ! official dispatches received by the State and Navy departments announced that the situation is quiet. ~Secretary Long made public this dispatch from Captain Perry, commanding the battleship lowa: “Everything quiet. No further inter- ference since notification, . Transit and telegraph communication open. Colon in possession of Liberals and quiet.” Consul General Cudger supplemented these advices by wiring that trains are running regularly between Panama and Colon. Commander McCrea confirmed the statement that quiet prevails, It is the expectation of Senor Herran that the Government troops will imme- diately move to recapture Colon. The Liberals will be considerably embarrassed in their efforts to hold the town by rea- cCrea ‘will not permit them to occupy the rail- road station or wharves, or to demolish the railroad track so as to prevent the entrance of an attacking force. If a bat- tle occurs it will probably take place out- side of Colon. A diplomat pointed out to-day that the insurgents, now that they have obtained possession of Colon, will probably ask this Government for recognition. No such recognition will be accorded for the pres- ent, at least. . Foreigners Are Protected. COLON, Colombia, Nov. 21.—The city of Colon was perfectly quiet all yesterday and last night. It is claimed in behalf of seemly behavior. respected and protected, and across the isthmus is uninterrupted. Colonel Barrera, commander of the Lib- eral forces, asserts that he has notified the district representative of the Depart- ment of the Interior and other former offi- cials of the Government that he has ap- pointed a commission to take over their | offices formally. Senor Espriella, a prom- inent lawyer and counsel for the Panama Railroad, is.a member of the commission. | Colonel Barrera admits that the Gov- | ernment troops here numbered a little | less than 120 men, It was at first report- | ed that twelve or more men had been | killed and that about thirty were wound- | ed, but the bodies of more dead men have ! since been discovered. | General Zaldana commands 200 Liberal | troops at Gatun Railroad station, about | six miles from Colon. The Liberals claim | § to be In possession of all the railroad sta- | fj/ tions between Colon and Las Cascades, |}l which is nearer to Panama than to Colon. | §il rate. A Liberal lieutenant, who was shot in the neck with a Mauser bullet, is re- ported to be doing well. No Immediate Attack on Panama. No immediate attack on Panama is con- templated. Colonel Barrera is awaiting the arrival at Panama of Domingo Diaz, the Liberal chief. When Diaz reaches this city definite plans will be formulated. General Patino, the original commander of the Liberal forces which captured,Co- lon, is said to have intended to capture the Colombian gunboat General Pinzon in person, and some say.that the general was drowned in an effort to reach her in & boat which capsized. Colonel Barrera, however, denies this, but there is no doubt that the capture of the General Pinzon was contemplated. The United States gunboat Machias, it is understood, will not interfere with any of the fighting, but will protect lhe‘all- road and foreign interests. The Government at Panama is busy erecting breastworks in the vicinity of the railroad property, in the direction of which the Liberal attack is expected. The Mayor of Panama started in a Jaunch belonging to the canal company Yesterday morning to report the state of affairs to General Alban. Since the Mayor's return to Panama it has been rumored that he found the general at Chorrera, and that he decided to take his forces back to Panama by land and rein- force the garrison there. Certain sources of information have it that the canal company’s largest launch was loaned to the Government last Sun- day to convey General Alban and troops toward Chorrera and that it was sunk on Tuesday near Taboga. TUnited States Consul General Gudger, Captain Perry of the United States bat- tleship Towa and the secretaries of the | Government held a conference at Panama yesterday. The latter claimed that the conductors of the train should not have allowed Liberals to embark on the train at Las Cascades. that the Government should protect free transit on the isthmus and ought to have prevented the embarkation of the Lib- erals. Subsequently a letter was sent to the Colombian authorities by the Ameri- can officials with reference to future ac- tion. It is not improbable that the Iowa vflll shortly land a force to protect tran- sit. ¢ ; Little Gold Is Found. The following provisional appointments were made by the Liberals to-day: Senoy Esprella to be Prefect, Dr. Val- verde 'to be Mayor, Dr. France to be Postmaster and Senor Silva to be Cap- tain of the Port. Other minor appoint- ments were also filled. The treasury safe was opened this aft- ernoon in the presence of witnesses, Tt was found to contain 1080 Colombian dol- lars, equivalent to $450 gold. The former Postmaster also handed over to the Lib- erals the cash and the postage stamps in his possession. The municipal offices in charge of Liberals probably will be opened to-morrow. It is said the gunboat Marietta, which sailed from Key West for Colon Novem- ber 18, has been signaled.

CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOPS REVIEW CHURCH AFFAIRS Lament the Assassination of President McKinley ASHINGTON, Nov. 2L.—The Archbishops . of the Catholic Church in this country began their annual meeting here to-day. To-day’s preceedings were executive. The meeting considered a number of questions that had wide agi- tation during the past year and reviewed generally the affairs of the hierarchy. The only feature of the proceedings for- mally made public after the day’'s work had been concluded was that the meeting had adopted resolutions of lament at the assassination of President McKinley and containing an invocation of the benedic- PRESIDENT SENDS BEST WISHES TO HARVARD TEAM Regrets That It Is Impossible for Him to Attend the/jGame With Yale. / CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 2L—Presi- dent Roosevelt, who two years ago led the cheering for ‘Harvard at the game with Yale, in reply to an invitation from the Harvard management to attend Satur- day’s game, to-night sent the following telegram: “I regret more than I can say that it is utterly impossible for me to come.

The Archbishops will meet again to- morrow morning. After they have con- cluded there will be a session of the com- mittee on the distribution of funds for the Indian and negro missions. It was expected that matters affecting the work of the Catholic Church in the new insular possessions would be a sub- ject of discussion at this meeting of the Archbishops. It is not believed, however, that it received any serious attention, for the reason that the jurisdiction of the affairs of the church in these possessions has not been formally transferred to the American hierarchy. L e e o S o S S DECLARES CONSIDINE NOT GUILTY OF MURDER Seattle Jury Renders a Verdict Ex- onerating the Man Accused of Killing Meredith. SEATTLE, Nov. 21.—John W. Considine left the King County Courthouse shortly before 6 o’clock this evening a free man. According to the verdict of the jury he is not guilty of the murder of ex-Chief of Police Willlam L. Meredith. The ver- dict was read in the courtroom at 5:35, ex- actly three hours from the time the jury- men were locked up for deliberation. ‘There was no demonstration of any kind from the big audience. It is not thought likely that Tom Con- sidine, who is also charged with the mur- der of Meredith, will be brought to trial, although the prosecuting attorney has given out no statement to this effect. e HONGKONG, Nov. 22.—The rumored death of Tao Mu, Viceroy of Kwang Tung and Kwang Si, is denied. BRIGANDS HOLD OUT FOR RANSOM Little Hope for Early Release of Captured Missionary. Government Will in Due Time Ask Reparation From Bulgaria. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 2L.—Authorita- tive denial is given by officials of the State Department to the report that the Turkish Government has been asked to permit the American squadron in Euro- pean waters to pass.from the Mediter- ranean into the Black Sea in order to force Bulgaria to make reparation for the sufferings of Mics Stona. It is reiterated that the department s devoting itself at this time solely to the effort to obtain Miss Stone’s release, and when this is accompiished, then action will be taken lo secure the punishment of the responsible persons and an in- demnity. he authorities continue to bs hopeful that the American missionary will be liberated. SOFIA, Nov. 2L.—Consul-General Dick- inson of the United Stites will leave Fri- day or Scturday of this week for Con- stantinople. There is obviously no pros- pect of a settlement with Miss Stone's abductors. The departure of Dickinson will probably have a gred effect upon the brigands who have Miss Stone in their possession, as they may fear to lose everything by not accepting Dickinson's proposals. i | | | \lit Both sides used Remingtons and Mau- | ff sers, The former causes the higher death | Ot es t h i Captain Perry replied | | t make and | hold customers | If our suits and overcoats were not good values—if we could only sell | | once to a person, we would soon use up all the visible supply of customers.
