Scene Again, Hovrever—The lowa
at Panama and the Machia. and
(he Marietta at Colon Guard
American Intere.t*.
Colon, Columbia, Nov. 23.—Many ver
sions are current, all based In favor of
the Liberals, regarding the where
abouts and fate of Gen. Alban's expe
dition, which left Panama on Sunday
last. The following is the most authen
tic and plausible.
■On arriving off Perequete, distant
about thirty miles from Panama, and
ten miles beyond Chorrera, as the crow
flies, Gen. Alban, on the gunboat Bo
yaca, sent forward two schooners
which grounded. The Liberals on land
immediately poured a terrible rifle fire
upon these vessels, causing much hav
oc on board. Gen. Alban then ordered
the Boyacas boats to go to the assist
ance of the schooners. The crew of the
Boyaca complied with the result that
many of them were wounded and the
boats returned to the Boyaca. When
ordered for the second time to go to
the assistance of the schooners the
boat's crews refused on the ground
that it was useless and that such a
step meant certain death to them.
Hence, the Boyaca returned to Pana
ma on Thursday night, taking many
wounded men with her. The Liberals
claim that 300 men of Gen. Alban's
force were captured in this way and
that they now strengthen the Liberal
ranks.
It has been held all along that Gen.
Alban undertook no easy task when he
attempted to land troops in the vicinity
of Chorrera. The General's return to
Panama was looked forward to with
great hopes, but when he returned in
the manner in which he did many peo
ple were discouraged and downcast,
which leads to the belief that the grav
ity of the situation Is recognized.
The Boyaca, with Gen. Alban on
board, started again yesterday morn
ing from Panama, her destination, pre
sumably being Perequete. It is not safe
to consider the overland road from
Chorrera to Empire station under com
plete Liberal control, as otherwise the
full Liberal force would, doubtless,
have already arrived at Empire Sta
tion. Yesterday's estimate that a
thousand men had arrived at the sta
tion proves to have been exaggerated,
but it is certain that troops are now
coming- in all the time.
Nothing has been heard of the land
force which left Panama on Sunday
last, but it is reasonable to conclude
that it is now harassing the move
ments of the Liberal forces. The Brit
ish second-class cruiser Amphion left
Panama Nov. 19, leaving the United
States battleship lowa the only War
ship at that port.
War Vessels Arriving.
The Colombian gunboat General Pin
zon, which escaped from Colon when
this town was captured by the Liber
als, Nov. 19, arrived safely at Car
tagena and there spread the news of
the capture of the city. The French
cruiser Suchet, was there on her way
to Martinique, and she hurried back
to Colon, arriving here this morning.
The United States gunboat Marietta
has arrived here from Key West.
The situation along the railroad line
is unchanged. There is no interrup
tion of isthmian transit.
THE UNION LEAGUE’S BANQUET.
Philadelphia Republican Clnb Cele
brates Founders’ Day.
Philadelphia. Nov. 23.—The Union
League, one of the most noted Repub
lican organizations in the country, to
night celebrated “Founders’ Day” by
a banquet and the guests of honor in
cluded men of national prominence.
Much Interest was manifested in the
address of Senator Frye, who spoke on
"Our Merchant Marine.” Solicitor Gen
eral Richards spoke on “A Present
Peril,” suggesting methods for the sup
pression of anarchy. Mr. Richards ar
gued for the punishment by death of
any attempt on the life of the Presi
dent, whether successful or not. He
favored the deportation of alien an
archists.
Senator Frye dwelt strongly upon
this country’s lack of shipping facili
ties.
“Last year the climax of decadence
seems to have been reached—the worst
year of our history,” said Senator
Frye. “In the trade between the Unit
ed States and Europe, not one vessel
flying the American flag, came from
or went to Germany, Sweden, Norway,
Denmark, Italy, Austria-Hungary,
Greece or Turkey.”
Senator Frye advocated liberal re
muneration for ocean mail service in
American steamships.
DETERMINED VERDICT BY LOT.
Court Would Not Stand for Jury’s
Scheme, However.
Asheville, N. C.. Nov. 23.—John Mil

In a hat two slips of paper, one for
'he first and the other for the second
degree, and a blindfolded Juror drew
'he first degree slip.
The Jury all agreed to stand l>y the

It was a fair test, but the Judge set
the verdict aside and a plea of guilty

A New Form of Grip Epidemic.
Within the last week the physicians
of this city have made the discovery
that Grip in a strange form is epldem*
lc. The attack is accompanied by
pains in the muscles, particularly of
the arms and shoulders, which suggest
the twinges of rheumatism. Vague
sensations in the chest of a verv un
comfortable description induce a
“gone” and forlorn frame of mind.
There is a sharp cough, but the most
distressing features of ordinary Grip
are lacking.
The prompt use of Dr. Humnhrevs’

Florida Turpentine Operator* In
dicted for Peonage.
Tallahassee, Fla., Nov. 23.—The
United States Circuit and District
Courts for the Eastern Division of the
Northern District of Florida have ad
journed. It has been the longest ses
sion of the court that has been held
here in many years. Every criminal
case that was tried, except one, in
which the government entered a dis
missal, resulted in a conviction. In
the two civil cases a compromise ver
dict of $650 was entered, and In the
other a verdict of $2,000, after a trial
of two days. The civil cases were
both trover cases, in which the gov
ernment complained of timber tress
passsers.
The Impartiality and fairness of the
court and the ability of the popular
district attorney, Hon. John Eagan,
impressed every one who was in any
way connected with the court’s delib
erations.
The grand Jury returned seventeen
indictments, a number of them being
for peonage by turpentine operators.

THE GOOD OLD NEGROES.
JUDGE ESTES’ LECTURE TO PRIS
ONERS AT VALDOSTA.
Hard to Realize That the Loafing,
Drinking. Pistol Toting Negroes ot
the Present Generation Are the
Descendants of the Old-Time Ne
groes—The Grand Jury Roasts the
Lowndes County Commissioners
for Their Liberal Expenditures.
Valdosta, Ga., Nov. 23.—The Novem
ber term of the Superior Court ad
journed -to-day at noon, after one of
the busiest sessions it has had in sev
eral years. The criminal business was
larger than usual and hardly half of
the cases were taken up, fourteen be
ing left in the jail to be disposed of in
the City Court next week. Those who
were convicted were sentenced this
morning. All of them were negroes ex
cept one, a white man charged with
pistol stealing. Judge Estes delivered
an address to the prisoners which took
on the order of a “sermon” and was
much appreciated by all In the court.
The judge commented incidentally up
on the worthlessness of the negroes of
the up-growing generation and con
trasted them with the good old ne
groes of former days. He said that it
was almost Impossible to realize that
the loafing, cursing, drinking, pistol
toting negroes of this day are direct
descendants of the colored men and
women of thirty or forty years ago.
He urged them, when their terms ex
pire, to lead sober. Industrious lives.
The judge’s remarks elicited “araens”
from many of the older negroes who
happened to be in the court house at
the time. t
The grand jury filed in a short while
before noon and the Deport of that body
was read. One feature of the report
bordered on to the sensational and
throws the grand jury against the
county commissioners with a good deal
of force. The free expenditure of mon
ey by the Board of Commissioners was
severely criticised. The present board
has done a great deal of building ot
bridges, roads, pest house, etc., and the
disposition of money on improvements
generally was roundly censured. The
grand jury did not intimate that there
had been any crooked dealings in these
matters, but the criticism was rather
directed at the business judgment of
the commissioners.
The Stapler Residence Burned.
A report reached the city this morn
ing of’the burning of the residence of
the late Richard Stapler, near Lake
Park. The home was built last year,
but the family vacated it several
months ago when Mr. Stapler died. It
was occupied by a Mr. Surrency, who
had been employed to gather the crop.
The lost is about $2,500, with no in
surance. The fire is said to have orig
inated from a stick of wood, which
was too long for the fire-place, and
which was allowed to burn while the
family was in another part of the
house.
FLEMING AND HIS DISTRICT.
Hardwick Charged With Working
The Reapportionment lu His Own
Interest.
Augusta, Nov. 23. —Congressman
Fleming was asked what he thought
tof the report that Lincoln is to be
taken from the Tenth district and
Johnson and Emanuel added. “I don’t
credit it,” he said, "because such a
pran would bear on its face to those
who know the facts, the stamp -of per
sonal legislation for the benefit of Mr.
Hardwick, a member of the House
and a candidate for Congress,”
Mr. Fleming says Lincoln has al
ways been identified, socially, politi
cally and commercially with this sec
tion of the state centering about Au
gusta, and her people are opposed to
a change. He says he can well un
derstand why Mr. Hardwick wishes
to get rid of Lincoln county since his
visit there a few weeks ago. Mr.
Hardwick knows Lincoln is against
him, but hopes, by reason of geograpn
ical location and other ties, to fare bet
ter in Johnson and Emanuel. His first
expectation was to get Johnson only,
but it seemt, the necessities of the case
called for another county. Mr. Flem
ing says he does not believe the Gen
eral Assembly or its committees will
Indorse that form of personal legisla
tion and leave the Tenth district one
of the most misshapen In the state.

meh of the Webb City, Mo., Athletic
Club, Including a banker, A. P. Stew

Is asserted by the officers that the
members of tbe club do not deny hav
ing won in the last eighteen months
upwards of $200,000. The winnings last
week are known to have been $27,000
notwithstanding the publicity resulting
from the prosecution instituted
by Representative J. M. Davis of this
county, who lost $6,000 there, and says
he was swindled out of it. Next week
the attorneys representing the accused
men will go before the Governors of
Kansas and Missouri to contest an ap
plication by Mr. Davis for requisitions

TAMPA’S STRIKE OFF AT LAST.
La Resistencia So Declares, Ac
knowledging It* Complete Defeat.
Tampa, Fla., Nov. 23.—La Resistencia
Union officially declared the cigarmak
ers strike oft this afternoon. A mass
meeting of those still striking was held
at headquarters on Seventh avenue and
about 1,000 were in attendance. It
was shown to them that there were no
more funds for carrying on the strike
and that thousands of men had re
turned to work, hence a continuance
of the fight was futile. Resolutions de
claring the strike closed and urging
the cigarmakers and all other employes
to go to work on Monday were present
ed. Not a single dissenting vote was
cast. The meeting was presided over
by leading members of Resistencia, and
was genuine and in no manner packed
by those at work. This ends the long
struggle which started last July be
tween the cigarmakers and manufac
turers. The latter are the winners in
everything, not having yielded a sin

Charges Head of State Church
With Weakness—Burst* Into Tear*
a* He Speak* ol the Slain in the
Riots—lmmense Mob Surrounded
Chamber of Deputies. But Were
Overawed by Troop*.
Athens, Nov. 23.—The Greek pre
mier, M. Theotikis. taking part to
day In an excited debate in the Cham
ber of Deputies over the recent dis
turbances here, arising from the ob
jection of the students to the trans
lation of the gospels Into modern
Greek, quoted from certain letters of
the Holy Synod addressed to Queen
Olga in 1899, In which the synod's rea
sons against the translation of the
gospels were explained. The premier
blamed the metropolitan of
Athens, Procopius Oeconimidis
for the disturbances. He said
the metropolitan, owing to the
weakness of his character, had not the
courage to support the synod upon the
occasion of the metropolitan's audience
with the Queen.
Referring to Queen Olga, the premier
said her piety. Christian sentiments
and nobility of character were the ad
, miration of the whole world. During
' the war she was everywhere told by
wounded that they could not read the
Gospels because they did not under
stand the text. The Queen then arrang
ed, continued the premier, for the pub
lication of a translation of the Gospels
Into modern Greek, exclusively for
family use.
The recent disorders had been caused,
M. Theotikis explained, by demonstra
tors assailing the troops with stone
and revolvers. The troops only fired
in the air. That was proved by the
wounds of victims being from revolv
ers and not from rifle bullets.
Speaking of the dead, tears ran down
the premier’s cheeks and the sitting of
the chamber was suspended for some
minutes In order Ao allow him to re
gain his composure.
The opposition was led by M. Delyan
nls, who accused the ministry of weak
ness and of being responsible for mur
der.
Vast and noisy crowds surrounded
the Chamber of Deputies while tbe de
bate was going on. The troops, how
ever, were disposed in force and over
awed the assemblage.

all the time. During the months I doc
tored I lost forty pounds, so I thought
I would have to try something else.
Peruna was recommended to me by a
friend, and I gave it a trial. Now I

not think I could feel any better. I am
so thankful I heard of Peruna, for It

Many People Pay No Attention to a
Cold Until Catarrh Develops.
Miss Myrtice James, Secretary
Young People’s Christian Temperance
Union, writes from 401 River street.
Water Valley, North Dakota:
“I know that Peruna saved my life
and I cannot speak too highly In Its
praise. Three years ago I caught a
heavy cold which settled in catarrh of
the head and bronchial tubes. I
thought it only an ordinary cold at
first and paid little attention to It until
the catarrh developed. I coughed badly
and was unable to secure a good nlght’g
rest. Finally my father read of a cure
called Peruna and sent for a bottle. I
found that It relieved me wonderfully,
and so kept taking It for nearly three
months, when I was well once more.
Peruna has a great number of friend*
In this neighborhood. It has a good,
reputation as a catarrh remedy which
It well deserves.”—Myrtice James.

has been said of your medicine in such

“I am very pleased with the satis

RUSSIANS AT HOME.
Unflattering Account of Peculiarly
ties of Manners, Food and Dress.
From The London News.
The Russian, as you find him in Si
beria, has many good qualities. Above
all, he is hospitable. This propmts him
when griving you a glass of wine to
piU It on the table cloth. That indi
cates his liberality. To be careful and
watch the pouring so that It come#
within an eight of an Inch from the
rim of the glass would mean stingi
ness, and such a though it abhorrent.
But a commission needs to be sent
the length and breadth of the Russian
i Empire to teach the people, officials as
well as ordinary folks, what are the
table manners of ’Western rations. Said
a man to me in a restaurant the other
day: “I know at a glance you could not
be a Russian, because you were using
your knife and fork in a civilized way.”
You know how the player of a kettle
drum holds the sticks—that in the
right hand is a sort of grip, that in
the left with the palm turned up and
held by the two first fingers. A Rus
sian holds his knife and fork tr, the
same way. He get a piece of meat on
the end of the fork, and with It stick
ing up in the air bites while poking
vegetables Into his mouth with his
knife. There are no mustard spoon#, so
he dives his knife Into the mustard
pot. Personally, I am regarded as an
extraordinary being because I won’t
use a serviette that evidently six
other people have used.
It takes time for a Britisher to con
form to the meal hours of the Russian.
There are no bacon and eggs for break
fast. Indeed, there is no breakfast at
all. You have a glass of tea or two
glasses of tea with slices of lemon in
It. and that serves till 2,8, or 5 o’clock,
when you have dinner. Before dinner
it is usual to have a sekuski. In case
you should have no appetite, there is
a side table laden with twenty dainties.
You have a glass of vodkl, and toss It
down your throat at one swallow. If
you are an old hand you will have two,
four, or six vodkles, which put you into
the best of good humor, but unfit you
for anything but gossip the rest of the
afternoon. Then you pick up a fork ly.
lng about—never washed or wiped
from one day’s end to th* other—stick
It into a sardine, or a once of onion, or
a little bit of cheese, er some caviare,
and you eat. You have Just enough of
these to provoke an appetite, and when
it Is provoked you sit down to dinner.
In the afternoon or evening you will
drink many glasses of tea. which is. I
admit, an enjoyable occupation. Be
tween 10 o’clock and midnight you have
supper, really another dinner, and
about 3 o'clock in the morning you
think of going to bed.
