Punish "Isthmian Traitors."
The Colombian minister to Peru has
published in Lima cablegrams received
from his government, dated at Bogota,
November 10, 11 and 12, respectively.
The cablegrams say that the
Colombian government has taken
measures to suppress "the isthmian
traitors" and add that all the parties
** and classes have offered to the government
their lives and property in
defense of the national territory.
What Will Uncle Sam Do?
Rumors were current in WashingL
ton Friday that the government in.
. tended to. send United States troops
to the isthmus of Panama, but positive
official denials were made that"
such was the intention of the administration
which some time ago asserted
its mimosa to nrevent fighting that
would endanger the. free transit of "the
isthmus.
Situation at Bogota Critical.
It |b rumored that the situation at
Bogota is extremely critical, and that
there is* a continuance of the manifestations
jof furious despair over the
loss ;pf the_ isthYnus. The feeling
against President Marroquin is growing
in intensity and one rumor has it
that he has been deposed. The populace
Of Bogota is talking of sending a
big expedition to recapture the isthmus
:at any cost, in their excitability
? . losing sight of the futility of such an
attempt. It is believed here that Admiral
Glass*, commander or .the United
Skates squadron, wj*l soon call officially
on the junta, and that his
squadron will salute., the flag of the
y republics ?
ANDREW GREEN MURDERED.
:
"Father of Greater New York" Shot
to Death by Crazy Negro.
r Andrew H. Green, the "Father of
Greater New York," and one of the
city's oldest and most remarkable
citizens,
was shot and instantly killed
* on the steps of his home, on Park
avenue, New York city, Friday, by
Cornelius M. Williams, a negro who is
? ,
believed to be iqsane.
> * The shooting was evidently the outcome
of an insane delusion on the
part of the negro that Mr. Green had
i / slandered him, for when he was
asked why he had committed the murder,
he replied: "I did it to save my
character." . *
There were three witnesses to the
tragedy, Mrs. Anna Bray, a domestic
in Mr. Green's family; Emil Michelsen,
an errand boy, and Patrick Dyer,
a cabjnan.

REPORT NOT BEUEVEDTT
Washington Officials Scoff at Warlike
Stone* vrc.n coiom,;ia?fso
Allowed to Approaoh Panama.
A Washington special says: The
state department had no knowledge
up to a late hour Saturday night of j
the marching c? any army from Co- |
lombia upon the isthmus of Panama,
and Lhe officials state that were any
such movement in progress it would
certainly be imoimert by its agents in
the south, the cables being still open.
The officials scout the idea that anysuch
march is in progress, as the
president cf Colombia is. reported to j
-*? ?v??Api^Anf f\f f
have described 10 tuc plUOlUVUb VC j
Ecuador. It is assumed in Wahington
that the "army" said to be marching
on Panama was nothing more than a
few men, perhaps 500 all told, that
were about to embark at Buena Ventura
a few days ago when they were
turned back from tl^ isthmus by notice
of the determination of the United
States naval commanders to allow
no landings in that quarter. These
troops cannot reach the isthmus by
water and the officials here are positive
that they cannot do so by land.
The character of the country is such
that there is no subsistence for an
army on the route of wild mountain
trails and the passages through the
morasses that lie between Colombia
nmnor 9nH thf> isthmus. Even if there
were subsistence the trails are so
rough that it would require many
weeks or even months ' tor even a
small army to make the journey.
But there are more than physical
obstacles in the way of the approach
of an army upon Panama. The officials
do not care to express publicly
their plans, but enough has been
gleaned from the instructions given
to our naval commanders to make it
evident that never again will the isth-'
mus become the seat of warfare, so j
long as the United States government
can prevent it

to make non-union several
months, during which time there have
been numerous collisions between its
employes and ,the union men, many
arrests .prosecutions for contempt of
court, several injunctions and what
not, all owing to the determined position
taken by either side.
The Labor League of Alabama has

sidetracked to let the express, which
left at 5:20, go by, but got behind before
reaching Kentwood. Near that
station the express ran it down. The
rear coach of the accommodation, filled
with negroes, many of them section
hands who had been picked up on the
way, was completely wrecked. The
engine of the express did not leave

President Roosevelt's name'and his
action in the so-called Miller open

convention of the American Federation

Mass., when several delegates criticised
his decision not to discriminate
against non-union labor in federal employment.
The question came before
the convention in the way of a report

DISCUSS MORMON SMOOT. [
Eligibility of Utah Senator Aired in j
Upper House of Congress.
Facetious Mr. Tnayer.
?? ,
#The session of congress Friday rook j
)n somewhat of an interesting turn. ;
i
[mmeniately upon assembling the sexit
e plunged into a discussion or" the
juestion of the eligibility of Reed |
:
Sinoot, of Utah, to a seat in th^ sea- '
lie. I
j
.wr. Dubois, cf Idaho, took issue j
w.th Mr. Hoar's remarks of Thurs- I
lay.
"I contend chat these various cr- j
sanitations of Christian men. and wo- j
jun,'' he said, "nave a right to petition
tho senate and that it is tneir ;
rtntv to do so. Of coarse, we all ap- J
predate that this is a judicial ques- |
Lion, which must be determined ay !
|
the facts, but it is not an idle ques- \
tion, and It is properly betore the sen- j
ate. It is the same question that was |
involved in the case of the polyga- j
mous Roberts, for whose unseating by j
the house of representatives many pe- j
titions were filed.
"If tho allegations now on file with j
the committee on privileges and elec- j
tionc can be proven, I do not believe '
there is a senator here who would j
vote to have Mr. Smoot ccntinue in j
his seat, but if they are not priven, 1 i
think we would all unite in asking i
nim to remain."
Mr. Hoar said that in his remarks j
he had merely called the attention of |
some of his cwn constituents to the '
fact that they are pointing out to the I
senate the determination 01 a judicial j
question in regard to which the senators
are the judges.
Mr. Hale took the position that the
question of Mr. Smoot's eligibility had
been improperly raised at this time.
He considered it a very grave and serious
matter, and while, he said, he
had appreciated the force of what
Mr. Hoar nad said as- to the judicial
character of the proceedings, he did
not quite agree with that senator that
in" determining the right of a senator
to his seat the senate should be considered
purely as a court of law. He
referred briefly to the moral aspects
of the Smoot case, and said that, i
grave as tney are, they are not more j
important than "the intrusion of a religious
hierarchy like the Mormon
church into the political affairs of the
country.'
He suggested to the senate the importance
of not prejudging the case.
The senate adjourned until Monday.^
In the house, the bill to make effect

Mr. Payne having moved to adjourn,
Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, inquired
if he was ready to announce the program
of the majority.
Mr. Payne said a meeting of the
ways and means committee would be
called Friday, and he hoped to report
the bill to the nouse then.
Mr. Thayer, of Massachusetts, rising
to a question of privilege, a3ked
if a member would be considered derelict
in his duty if he would go home
to get his winter's wood, with the undeerstanding
that he would return
when the six or seven men, who, be
said,, constitute congress, should announce

THE MILITIA WARY
Fear of Black Officers Has
Impaired the Service,
SAYS ADJUTANT GENERAL
In Annual Report Hall Declares that
This Fear Has Been Unfortunately
Accentuated by Southern
Newspapers.
A Washington special says: Fear
that under the president's orders
white national guardsmen may be
comnelled to serve under negro offi
cers, impairs/ the efficiency of the
state military organizations in the
south, according to the annual report
of Acting Adjutant General Hall,which
ias just been made public. Much of
the report is devoted to the national
guard and its reorganization under the
new militia law. In many of the
southern states the military organizations
are reported poorly equipped
and marked opposition to the organizations
exists in some places. Colonel
Hall discusses this as follows in
his report:
"In some cities of Virginia, Georgia
and Louisiana the newspapers
have prejudiced the minds of the militiamen
bv their distorted vews. The
fear is expressed in some southern
communities that under the president's
orders white national guardsmen
might be compelled to serve under
a colored commander and still
others believe that they are state
troops and should not be ordered for
duty outsiide the state. All these examples,
however, are to be regarded
as sporadic rather than contagious,
and as the intent of the law becomes
better understood, with perhaps some
further legislation, it i3 believed that
all opposition will be confined to such
irreconcilable elements as are not to
be satisfied with anything less than
the abolition of all agencies) that make
; for the preservation of law and order."
The actual strength of the army or
October 15, 1903, was 3,781 officers
and 55,500 enlisted men. There were
lost to the army during the year end
ed June 30, 1903, 29,279 men, as follows:
One hundred and thirty-eight offi
cers, of whom twenty-five were killed

ease; 28,141 enlisted men, of whon
837 were killed in action or died, ol
wounds or disease, the remainder rep
resenting men discharged for expira
tion of term of service, for disability
by sentence of court martial, deser
tions and retirements.
Forty-two officers resigned and sev
enty-one retired; 5,053 enlisted mei
deserted and 203 retired.
Attention is directed, to the worl
of military attaches abroad, which th<
report states has been very satisfac
tory and proves the wisdom of select
ing officers peculiarly adapted to thi;
delicate semi-diplomatic work.
A PRESIDENTIAL JOKE.
"Panama Jack P.abbit Jumped To<
Soon for His Own Good."
All Washington is talking about ;
little conversation that occurred Wed
nesday between the president am
Judge Adamson. Tfie judge had cal]
ed at the white house and said:
"Mr. President, my only business i
to pay my respects. In the languag
of 'Br'er Rabbit,' just to past the tim
'o day with you."
Said the president: "I am alway
glad to see you, but I am especiall;
delighted to see you today, and sipeah
ing of 'Br'er Rabbit,' reminds me tha
Br'er Jack Rabbit on the Isthmu
jumped one time too many for hi
good."
Mr. Adamson replied: "I guess tha
when he jumped he was disappointei
that he did not run against a bowleg

: much and he repeated it to nearly a I

MILLS HAVE CUT WAGES/ '
Cotton Factories in New England ^ ^
Announce 10 Per Cent Reduction.
80,000 Workers Affected.
About thirty-two thousand operatives
in cotton mills in Massachusetts
were notified Wednesday of a ten per
cent reduction in wages. If it is fol- .'<<
lowed by the step which is usually
! taken when the mill owners of Rhode
Island and Connecticut take similar
action, 80,000 men will be out of em- . -j
ployment.
The notice of the reduction was
posted in all the cotton mills of Fall -if
j River, wnere ou,uuu operuu?c* v
I employed, and also at Taunton, where
I 2,000 mill workers are affected. The ^JjsSj
reduction in Fall River goes into ef- ^Jgj
feet November 28 and that at Tann- I;
ton five days earlier. '
The cutdown is attributed to the . v^^aj
unsettled state of trade, resulting'
from the high price of raw mhteriai, ^
and to a pronounced hesitation to buy
on the part of the usual purchasers.
The action taken in Fall River is ot
widespread importance, since a step
of this nature in that city usually is
followed by mill owners in southern
and central Massachusetts, Rhode ls-^ :::
land and eastern Connecticut, where -.-M
" oKAnt sn nnn mpn are em- '
Ick tuiai %jl vvfvw ? ? ? ? ?
ployed. R is'thought that no general
I strike will be ordered at this time by r'JjS
i the Textile WorKers' Union, which is
i arranging to consider the situation.
It was learned that the reduction 4g'/|aB
was decided upon at a conference of
Fall River men in Boston November
2. About eighty mills, owned by forty . JjjS
corporations, are represented in the .~|?
organization. Most of the local mills
make print cloths and coarser goods,'
although a few of them are engaged
in the manufacture of fine goods. The / :g8
mills of Fall River, New Bedford, '^S|
Rhode Island and those at numerous
points in central and western Massa- '
chjisetts, together with mills in east- ;
ern Connecticut, made a general adJ
vance in wages early in 1902. The"
{ cotton mills of Northern New England
did not increase their scale and it is
not considered probable that the present
change in southern New England
will affect the industry further north. -;.;3-a
