He was arrested while prowling around the White House, making the twelfth crank who has been picked up by the Washington police during the past week Lear claimed to have been elected an irdependent representative from Chicago by one million majority with the aid of Dowie, and he notified the clerk of the House that he would be on hand to-day to take his seat. The Capitol pelice were looking for Lear when they heard of his arrest near the White House. Five of the other cranks were from out- slde -of Washington, and as they were harmless they were sent back to their mes. None of the others were violent, though they were all found around the ‘White House looking for the President. The number of cranks who visit the White House is steadlly increasing. BARK CONNETABLE IS A TOTAL LOSS Little Hope Is Expressed of Saving Anything From the French Vessel. HONOLULU, Nov. 3.—The French bark ‘onnetable de Richemont is a total loss. Captain J. F. Haglund, the port captain of the Inter-island Steam Navigation Company, has returned from the wreck- ing expedition with the first news of the result of the expedition sent out by the cbmpany. The steamer Kauai, which was dispatched in charge of Captain Haglund to try to salve or else wreck the French vessel, reached the French Frigate Shoal, the scene of the wreck, but was unable to accomplish anything toward recovering or salving the vessel, The bark is cap- sized and is almost entirely submerged. The expedition remained only half an, hour at the scene of the wreck and re- turned to the island of Kaual with only a few articles of small value taken from the Connetable de Richemont.

My country is to cede valuable territory adjofning Panama in return; I have endeavored this afternoon to communicate with Bogota, in order to confirm this, but the telegraph company informs me that as yet there is an inter- ruption and messages cannot be sent through to the capital, “I fully realize how serious such a step would be, but it i8 a rumor that so far I have been unable to contradiet.” Brigard does not believe that there has been any massacre of Americzns aj Bo- gota, or any injury to Americans or their He has received no advices from the capital since the conflict at Parama. COLOMBIA T§ VINDICTIVE. WASHINGTON, Nov. S—Moembers of Congress who were told to-night of re- ports emanating from Arturo de Brigard, Consul General of Colombia at New York, and other sources, that Germany might negotiate with Colombia for coaling sta- tions on both sides of the isthmus and near the dividing line between Colombia and the new republic of Panama, &t first expressed doubts as to its authenticity, but afterward guardedly admitted the probability that such might be the out- come of the present situation. It seems to be the general opinion in Congress that Colombia would be willing to make any trouble for the United States possi- ble, and that she probably would think a deal of this kird with Germany would be particularly aggravating to this country. It is also believed by Congressmen fa- miliar with South American affairs that Germany sooner or later desires to thor- oughly test the Monroe doctrine and that acquisitions of coaling stations near each end of the proposed canal would afford this opportunity. Should the report prove true and negotiations for such coaling stations be complete this country would not hesitate, according to opinions ex- pressed to-day, to enforce the Monroe doctrine if any permanent lease or con- trol of Colombian territory were given to Germany. REPORT CAUSES SOME CONCERN. It is useless to deny that the report that Colombia contemplates such a thing has given some concern to Washington. One eftéct, should this prove to be true, will be that Democrats and Republicans would line - up in support of President Roosevelt in his Isthmian policy. Repre- sentative Hitt, who will succeed himself as chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, in speaking of this phase of the isthmian attitude to-night said: “Should it be true that Germany and Colombia contemplate negotiation for coaling stations it would be a matter of serious interest to this country. Should anything like sovereignty or permanent contgol be given to Germany for coaling stations, with the consequent probability of erecting defenses, it would be a shaft aimed directly at the Monroe doctrine, and this cnurxy would immediately be- come concerned. “Qur inquirfes would go to Colombia. TUnder crdinary circumstances before ne- gotiating any such concessions with a European pawer Colombia would first consult the American Government. What she will do now, In view of the present situation on the isthmus, should Germany seelk coaling stations 1s a matter of doubt.” PORTS GERMANY WOULD LIKE. Cartagena, several hundred miles from the isthmus, is, however, an important strategic point. Germany's strength in a Caribbean naval campalign would be greatly improved by a station there, Savanilla and Cispata are ports nearer the isthmus, which, however, would be d:ffeult to fortify and of less strategic value. On the Pacific coast of Colombia Buena Ventura would be an excellent coaling station site, especially if Germany car- ombia | | rles out her reported intenton to place a fleet in the South Pacific. — ORGANIZIN Glfll MILITARY.

Special Dispatch to The Call. WALLACE, Idaho, Nov. 9.—Two dead and two wounded Is the result of a shoot- ing affray at the entrance of the Wallace opera house to-night. The shooting took place just as the theater goers were leav- ing the theater, following a performance by the James Neill company. The dead are: DR. W. F. FIMS, shot through the head. WILLIAM CUFF, miner, shot three times, died in fifteen minutes. The wounded are: Chief of Police Mc- Govern, shot through the Tight hand; Opera House Policeman Rose, shot In the | leg. The trouble arose over Cuff insisting on smoking a cigar in the gallery. Police- man Rose ordered him to desist, but he refused. The policeman took the eigar away from Cuff after a struggle. Cuff then left the theater vowing vengeance. He returned shortly with a revolver and, waited until the performance was over. Rose was the first man out of the opera- house. As he stepped outside Cuff began firing. The first shots missed and Rose returned the fire. Dr. Fims, who was es- corting a woman, followed Rose out, and as he did so a bullet, presumably from Cuft’'s revolver, struck him in the head, killing him instantly. Other policemen appeared in a moment and a general fusillade followed. The panic-stricken theater-goers stampeded back into the foyer, men and women be- ing trampled in the mad rush to get away. Cuff continued firing, wounding Chief of Police McGovern and Special Of- ficer Rose. Cuft then started to escape, running around the corner of the theater. He was intercepted at a side exit by Policeman Quinn, who kept up a running fire, three bullets taking effect. Cuff fell uncon- sclous and died in fifteen minutes. A number of people were injured in the stampede. Cuff was a miner and served in the Philippines with an Idaho regiment. Dr. Fims is a well-known surgeon of Wallace and leaves a_family. ———— Railroads Must Pay Taxes.

At the caucus of the Republican Sena- tors to-morrow a resolution will be of- fered declaring that the Committee on Canals should be a majority committes and that the chairman sbéuld be a Re- publican. It is likely to be adopted, in which case the Committee on Commit- tees when it reports will provide that a Republican Senator shall succeed Senator Morgan. It is supposed that Senator Hanna will be named for the place. The Democretic steering committee of the Senate was In session for two hours to-day, the greater portion of which time was devoted to the consideration of the situation on the isthmus. The situation was discussed in all its aspects, especial attention being given to the allegations that this country had been instrumental in producing the revolt at Panama and Colonl. A number of Senators expressed the opimion that the administration had not been unfriendly to nor ignorant of the movement from its beginning, but it was decided to wait until there was further light on the question before advising the Demoerats to take a position on the sub- ject as a party. Some Senators expressed the opinion that the mass of the people were so anxious to secure a canal that many people would even indorse a revo- lution on the isthmus if it should prove a means of securing one.
