President Said to Be Consid- | : ering Abandonment of Negotiations. —_———— Special Dispatch to The Call. IINGTON, Jan. 14.—There is au- for the statement that the Presi- der consideration the advisa- s U of abandoning bility Colombia for the Panama Canal treaty | and entering iuto freaty arrangement with Nicaragua and Costa Rica for the construction of the Nicaraguan canal by | the United States. This important phase of the canal mat- ter has been produced, it is declared, by knowledge which has come to the Govern- | ment that Colombia does not get an in- come from the sources of revenue to be surrendered to the United States if the Panama deal is consummated that ap- proaches anywhere near to the $650,000 which Colombia asserts she receives from It is learned at the State Department that Embassador Tower has received from the German Foreign Office an unequivoeal denial of the statement that found some currency a few days ago to the effect that the German Government was endeavoring to secure control of the Panama canal franchise. The Embagsa- dor's advice did net credit the German Government with any feeling for or against the canal enterprise, but it8 gathered that the state of the public mind in Berlin, certainly in commercial circles, is favorable to American construction be- cause of the benefits expected to accrue to German shipping engaged in trade on the Pacific and on the west coast of South America. | e NOTED MEN ADDRESS LIVESTOCK CONVENTION Reception at Night One of the Most Brilliant Functions Ever Given in Kansas City.

ADVERTISEMENTS. | | | | | | | | i { 1,109, 31 83790,300 = Budwelser TRAINMEN BEGIN T0 GROW ANGRY Feel That the Santa Fe Coast Officials Are Discourteous. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 14,—The com- | mittee representing the Brotherhood of { Trainmen which is waiting upon General Manager A. G. Wells of the Santa Fe | coast lines at his Los Angeles headquar- ters has not yet received an audience. It is now believed that’the company will re- fuse to recognize the committee. The men { were given to understand three weeks ago that their grievances would be listened to by General Manager Wells upon his return from Chicago. Wells arrived last Monday, but as yet has not set any time { for the conference. Heretofore all or- | ganizations have received immediate at- tention, and the trainmen are beginning to feel their position. A report is circulated that General Manager Mudge has gone to Chicago to consult with his superiors regarding the 2 per cent raise which the trainmen will demand. Tt is said that the Chicago con- ference will decide to compromise by giv- ing the men either a § or a 10 per cent raise, Local men who are posted on the situation are doubtful as to whether or not the union will submit to a scaling down of its demands, and another big | strike, which at this time would be very disastrous to the railways, is not improb- able. ; The officials and the brotherhood stout- ly maintain, however, that there is no prospect of a strike. But there are those | who state that a strike will surely follow Lunless an audience is speedily given the committee. Among the.grievances which will be pre- sented by the committeemen now in Los Angeles when they are given an audlence will be one asking that all freight trains | be limited to thirty cars. This is a blow ]denlt at sensational occurrences which have taken place on the Cajon grade, just north of here, and have never appeared in print. The Cajon hill is noted for its heavy grade and switchbacks and as a most dangerous mountain in case of run- aways. Despite all of this the Santa Fe has for the past several months been run- ning trains over the grade which are more than twice the size that safety calls for. As many as sixty-eight cars have been sent down the hill with but air enough to brake twenty cars. As a result time after time freights which have re- ceived orders to stop at the little station at the foot of the grade known as Verde- mont have been unable to brake the cars and have run a half-mile past the siding. The danger which -is most vital to the trainmen is the possibility of the train running away on the grade owing to in- sufficient brake power. Though not until now published, an en- tire train crew was let out five weeks ago because the men refused %o come down the hill on what they considered to be an unsafe train. Five of the men are still out and their case will be included in the grievances. The committee in Los An- geles is determined that the Santa Fe shall, among other things, cut these dan- gerous trains in two. Either that or se- rlous trouble may be looked for. Two Vessels Meet in Collision. PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 14.—The German ship Nesaia, loaded with wheat and qut- ward bound, dragged her anchor late last night in Astoria Bay and drifted into col- lision with the British ship Scottish Min- strel, inward bound wth a general cargo. The Minstrel's second anchor was hang- ing from the cathead and this the Nesala struck, the fluke going through one of her cabin ports. The force of the collision sprung several plates on the starboard side of the Minstrel. After three hours' hard work the vessels were separated. New Opera House for San Bernardino SAN BERNARDINO;, Jan. 14.—Property was purchased to-day for the purpose of building a new opera-house in this city. The promoters are local and Red- lands capitalists, most of whom are in- terested in the San Bernardino Valley Traction Company. The new house will cost $75,000, and will be located on Third street, between C and D.

SHOTS FLY TRUE TOWARD TRGET Gunners at Fort Baker Are Making Fine | Records. [ —) With the accompaniment of a howling wind, piercing to the very bone, the Six- ty-first and Sixty-eighth companies, coast artillery, stood at their guns yesterday | on the eminence at Fort Baker, the high- est battery in the United States. The fir- ing which had taken place at the Presidio fortifications several days ago had brought great credit to the officers and men, and with determination the compa- nies on the isolated, bleak reservation on the other side of the bay marched to the giddy height hoping to rival even their target-hitting eomrades on the San Fran- cisco side. Lieutenant N. F. Jamieson went out in the chilly early morning in the tug Sybil and steamed about three miles and a half away with the target. As soon as possible firing began, the Sixty-first Company, under command of Captain H. E. Cloke,’ sending the shots from a twelve-inch breech-loading rifle, barbette type. Eight shots were fired, all being exactly in line and each within the prescribed limit to count a ‘“*hit.” The fifth and seventh shots were not alone exactly in line, but came pretty nearly putting the sea-tossed target out of commission. The wind at the time was blowing hard and the performance therefore was all the more commendable. . The Sixty-eighth Company then took a hand, and for the first time in the San Francisco harbor the five-inch rapid- firing gun was tested, under command of Captain Armistead. The firing was direct in every case, the range being between 3000 and 4000 yards. There were fifteen shots and out of that number the com- | Cloke, pany scored six “hits.” The officers present wére highly pleased with the results. When it Is considered. that every one of the eight shots from the twelve-inch rifle'was a “hit,” wheth- er broadside or end on, some estimate can be formed of the excellence of the marks- manship.
