LONDON, Dec. 12.—Seldom does | man when jilted take his wounded heart to court in the hove of getting damages for breach of promise. On the rare occasions when he does so a contemptuous jury generally awards him a farthing, but this week a, faith- less woman had to pay £250 for jiit- ing a bicycle dealer. Constance Van der Bergh courted Frank Knight assiduously against her fdther’'s will, because the lattér's wealth was not sufficient in her rich parent’s eyves. Finally Miss Van der Bergh wrote to Knight declaring that they must elope. Shortly afterward she married an- other man, offering Knight the sole excuse that she did so, because shé was afraid that her mother might have an apoplectic fit if she remained true to him. . —t— . Russia’s Railroad Craze. x ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 12.—Profes- sor Migulin has published some inter- esting results of an inquiry into the whole business | DAMAGES cost of Russia’s railway craze. ¢ The Manchurian line, in its far from complete condition, has already cost $185,000,000, and the professor very much doubts if it will ever pay. The annual loss on working the line amounts now to $5,000,000 apart from of the railway swallows up $7,500,000 a year. The steamship company has a deficit of $10,000,000. Adding to these heavy annual losses the further expenditure on completing the line and ports and maintain the troops concentrated in the Far East, a total of $40,000,000 to $50,000,000 is shown as the annual drain on the Rus- sian peasantry. .

The Perry and Preble are be- ing coaled and some slight repairs are being made. The torpedo-boats will _Bo to San Francisco Monday, there to await further orders. Constructor Zahn went to San Francisco to-day and visited the Union Iron Works regarding the docking of the torpedo-boats, as the drydock at Mare Island is now occupied by other vessels. The boats will require their bottoms scraped and will then be ready for sea. It is like- ly that Warrant Officer Richardson will go to the city to superintend the docking. Owing to having to carry such an immense amount of stores for Ad- miral Evans' fleet in addition to her usual stores, it seems highly probable that the Solace will be overloaded and it may be necessary to send for the collier Saturn now at Bremerton to carry the overflow. The storehouse is now rushed with work making ready to fill the requisitions of the Kentucky, Oregon, Wisconsin, New Orleans, Albany, Cincinnati and Ra- leigh, which will arrive on the Pa- cific Mail steamer Doric from China to-day. Inspections of goods are be- ing rushed and everything has been made ready for the checking and fill- ing of requigitions to-morrow. All employes of the storehouse are or- dered to be on-hand at 7 o'clock to- morrow morning. " Sy R WILL HAVE PRESIDENT. Panama Junta Calls Convention Meet in January. PANAMA, Dec. 12.—Considering the republic of Panama to be in complete peace, the Junta to-morrow will pub- lish a decree convoking a national con- vention for January 15, 1904. This con- vention will formulate a constitution and laws fow the government of the re- public. It will be composed of thirty- two representatives—four each from the provinces of Bocas del Toro, Colon, Cocole, Veraguez, Los Santos and Chi- riqui, and eight from Panama.' All males born within the boundaries of the new republic who have veached the age of 21 years and reside on the isth- mus and all Colombians who have sworn allegiance to the republic shall have a right to vote, unless they have been deprived of their rights of citizen- ship. The voting will be direct and secret and the elections will take place on December 28. . T R REYES SUCCEEDS MARROQUIN. to General Is Elected President of the Colombian Republic. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—The Co- lombian legation to-night received a cablegram from General de Castro, commander in chief of the Colombian army, dated‘Port Limon, Costa Rica, to-day, conveying the information that the results. of the election for President held throughput Colombia on December 8 show a complete tri-’ umph for General Reyes. When seen to-night General Reyes would make no statement beyond saying that he xpected to remain in the United States for a fortnight longer. e Greatness of Diaz. The change that has come over Mex- ico since Porfirio Diaz first became | President twenty-six years ago Is suf- ficiently shown by glancing over the history of that anarchial state for the twenty-six years which preceded his accession to the office which he still holds. Between 1851 and 1858 Arista, Herrera, Santa Anna, Carrera, Alvarez, Comonfort and Zuloaga rapidly suc- ceeded each other either as president or dictator, and the expuision of the last was followed by three years’ civil war, which culminated in the intervention of Great Britain, France and Spain, t.ob- tain satisfaction for the murder and robbery of their subjects. Then fol- lowed the brief and unstable empire under Maximilian, ending in his, trial and execution. Afterward Juarez, a full-blooded Indian, was president un- til his death in 1872, ‘and he was suc- ceeded by Ledro de Tejada, whom Diaz overthrew in 1877. Bven if President Diaz disappeared, constitutional gov- ernment is now so well rooted in Mex- ico that a return to revolution would, it may be hoped, be impossible.—Lon- | don Chronicle. ACCUSE SMOOT OF POLYGANY Citizens of Utah Submit a Statement Embodying a Series - of Specific Charges HEARING TO BE GRANTED POCELREY Senate Committee: Will Give the Mormon Statesman Op- portunity for Making Defense » D s WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—The Sen- ate Commiittee on Privileges and Elec- tions met to-day to outline a policy to | be pursued in investigating the pro- tests filed against Senator Reed Smoot being permited to retain his seat arfd decided that before taking further steps Senator Smoot should be given an opportunity to make reply to the charges. Senator Burrows, chairman of the commiitee, was instructed to notify Smoot of the decision of the committee and to request that what- ever reply he may desire to make shall be in writing. The specific charge against Smoot as | a polygamist is made by John T. Lei- ' tich. The other charges are signed by eighteen citizens of Utah, of whom fourteen are Republicans and four are Democrats. ‘A statement has been filed with the committee giving the occupa- tions and other facts concerning the signers. This statement shows them | to be men of standing. Their charges | are: | \l. The Mormon priesthood, according to the | doctrines of tbat church, is vested with su- | preme authority in ali things temporal and | spiritual, | 2. The first presidency and twelve aposties | are supreme in the exercises and transmission | of the mandates of this authority. i 3. As this body of men has not abandoned the prineiples and practices of political dicta- | tion, S0 also it has not abandoned belfef in | polygamy and polygamous cohabitation. | 4. That this is the attitude of the first pres- | idency and apostolate, gven since the suspen- orymanifesto of 1500, is evidenced by their | teachings. / | This body ot officials, of whom Senator- elect Smoot 18 one, also practice or connive at and encourage the practice of polygamy amd polygamous cohabitation, and those whom they | have permitted to hold legislative offices have without protest or objection from them sought to pass a law nullifying enactments against po- Iygamous cohabitatton. 4 . The supreme authorities in the church, | of which Senator-elect Smoot Is one, to wit: the first presidency and twelve apcsties,, not only connive at violations, but protect and henor the violators of the laws against po- iygamy and polygamous cohabitation. | During the meéting it was stated on | behalf of Senator Smoot that he had employed counsel, and that John G.| Carlisle would conduct the prosecution. | Tollet cases in buckhorn, celluloid and leather.

SOLDIERS AIM STRAIGHT‘ T | German Inventor Has Discovered Spectacles That Will Greatly In- crease Efficiency of Arms. BERLIN, Dec. 12.—The German army | administration believes it has at last found spectacles which will enable pri- | vate soldiers to shoot straight. It has been quite a problem to in- crease the effectiveness of the firing line by having glasses enabling the wearers to see true, the difficulty be- ' ing that the soldier. is unable to adjust his glasses and often must look through the edge instead of the middle of the lens. This difficulty is obviated by the insertion of a special “aiming lens,” which always remains at a right | angle to the line of vision. Tt was observed during the hot days of the autumn maneuvers that soldiers on the firing line were occasionally seen to wipe their spectacles or go stumbling along in a charge because their glasses were clouded with per- spiration. i | ———————————— Gives Wealth to Poor Students. BERLIN, Dec. 12.—A wealthy citizen of Cracow named Messakowski has dis- tributed his entire fortune of a quarter of a million pounds sterling in scholar- ships for poor students.
