dications are that both sides to the

meeting by which President Muhon.
ui the Amalgamated Association of
Street Employee and his legal adyta
ere took part. Mayor Harrison declin
ed that the outlook for a settlement
of the strike by arbitration was . di
rectly flattering. The object cf the
meeting was to bring the two sides
to a point where arbitration is pos
sible. This the mayor believes has
been accomplished. Announcement

be made to open another of the vart

tempt . will be made on the ele^Ic

Washington Special.? The atate
Department has no knowledge of the
marching of an army from Colombia
udoA the littetttia and the official*
state that if any such movement wore
in progress, would certainly he in
formed by its agents in the South, the
cables being still open, these officials
seout the Idea that any such march
Is In progress, as the President of
Colombia is reported to have de
scribed to the President of Ecuador.
It- Is assumed here that the "army"
sud to be marching on Panama was
nothing more than the few men, per
hais 600 all told, who were about to
embark at Buena Ventura, a Tew days
ago, when they were turned back from
the Isthmus by notice of the deter
mination of the United States naval
commanders to allow no landings in
that quarter. These torops cannot
reach the Isthmus by water and the
officials here are positive that they
cannot do so by land, on account of
the nature of the intervening coun
try.
But there are more than physical
obstacles In the way of the approach
of an army upon Panama. The officials
do not cane to. expre^y-publlcly their
plana, but enbugh^lms been learned
from the instructions given to onr
naval commanders to make it evident
that never again will the Isthmus be
come the- seat of warfare, so long as
the United States government can pre
vent it. The difference between the
present situation on the Isthmus and
tha| which existed last year when
Commander McLean prevented armed
troops from, crossing the Isthmus by
rail is iust this: Ta^nuthoritles have
nOw determined to extend the lines
of protection to thq railroad. They will
not allow hostile forces, no matter
whether they are- Colombian or Pan
ama troops, to ctane Into collision any*
where near the railroad arid to pre
vent such collisions it will be neces
sary to extend the neutral sone clear
to the north arid sCuth.. boundaries $
the Republic of Panama. Officials here
-will not make such a statement pub
licly, they simply say: "Wait till the
emergency arises.'* But it is known
that such were the piaWb of the naval
commander* and as there is no indica
tion '-at a change in these plans, not.
of the encroachment of any Colombian

Columbia, S. Special.? The sui

Farmers And Merchants Bank, of para,

Monday night, a few hours aft?r the
accidental self -destruction of C&6nol
0, Miller Hoy kin , president a f the
bank.
Shortly after receiving the news of
the death of , Colonel Boykln, Mr.
Zemp left his home, ostensibly tp go
over to Mr. Boy kin's home, nearby, but
Instead went to his barn and commit*
ted suicide, shooting himself with a
pistol through the ityouth. Few mon
were held In higher esteem In Camden
than Mr. SEemp.
A. dispatch frofu Camden says; "It
there Is any shortsge In the bank's ac
counts, it 1s not kno^n, but a meet
ing of the directors will be held in the
morning, and a thorough investigation
will follow. Tn view of the death of
the president and cashier, the bank will
necessarily be, closed for a day or two,
when, it la thought, business will be
resumed as usual. .
The Caradcs bank has no connection
with any of the Columbia banks*
The coroner's jury viewed the re
gains of Colonel Boykln and rendered
a verdict of accidental death. The peo
ple of Camden are greatly agitated.
