THE MORNING NEWS. J. H. ESTILL. President. Established 1850. - - Incorporated 1888. VIOLATED THE LAW so COLOMBIA SAYS OF THE UNITED STATES. ALSO DISREGARDED TREATY. SHARP COMMENTS OF COLOMBIA’S FOREIGN MINISTER. I nltetl State* Minister Beaupre ami Colombia'* Foreign Minister Ex elimiKeil Note* at tile Colombian Capital—Colombia Knnv the Initell State* Rail Heroic nixed Panama Before Bennpre Gave Olllcial Information. Bogota, Friday, Nov. 27.—The follow ing notes have been exchanged be tween United States Minister Beaupre and Senor Carlos Rico, the Colombian Foreign Minister. In a communica tion, dated Nov. 18, Minister Beaupre says: . ■'l have the honor to inform you that on Nov. 13, the President of the United States formally recognized the Pana ma republic and its minister.” In reply Senor Rico, writing under date of Nov. 19, says: "Your note received. lam acquaint ed with the fact that President Roose velt has recognized the republic of Panama and received its minister. So far as Colombia is concerned, the rec ognition of the so-called republic of Panama by the United States had ful ly t:;ken place at the time your gov ernment entered into relations with it. It is not according to rule'to establish communications by an international treaty until the existence of a govern ment has been recognized. For this reason the fact of the United States having done so on Nov. 13 and the re ceiving of an agent of the rebels are acts that would naturally follow. "The facts you have communicated to me oblige me to state that the Co lombian government considers them and also the premature manner in which the recognition took place to be a violation of the treaty of 1846, and of international law. "As X informed your excellency Nov. 11, a Colombian army is marching on the isthmus, and consequently Colom bia is primarily the sovereign state, and she will not only carry on the struggle, but is certain of being vic torious if the United States does not interfere. Even should the United States ignore the obligations of the treaty of 1.846, it is to be hoped that they will remain neutral, not imped ing the efforts of Colombia to bring the Panamanians into submission and ab staining from any recognition of the rebels as belligerents. If the United States assume an attitude decidedly hostile to Colombia, and should prevent the latter’s government's efforts to bring into submission the rebels who pro claimed the republic of Panama, then the independence of the isthmus is in evitable. In that case the independ ence of the isthmus will be the work of the United States, and not of the natives.” COUNTS UPON AID FROM THE UNITED STATES. liien of War With Colombia Dorn Not Trouble i’nnnmn. Colon, Nov. 29.—The next event of political importance to the new repub lic of Panama will be the ratification of the can'al treaty and its return to Washington, which is looked forward to with much interest as conclusively settling Panama’s status. The ratification of the treaty appears to be considered by the government as the final step, so far as Panama is concerned, absolutely binding the new republic to the protection of the United States. After this h'as been effected it is expected on the isthmus there will remain nothing for Panama to do except to proceed under the se curity of the protection of the friend ship of the United States with * the disposition of her internal affairs. The impossibility of a war with or armed trouble from Colombia is not taken into serious consideration any where on the isthmus and is never heard discussed officially or otherwise. The government officials seem to think that in the event of any difficult situa tion arising, they will have nothing to do but turn to the United States for wise counsel and guidance, and that if help is needed by Panama the United States will supply it. ISLANDSARE WANTED. Newspapers Advise I'nmimn to Oc enpy Them. Panama, Nov. 29.—The newspap prs of the isthmus are asking the gov ernment of the republic of Panama to occupy and establish sovereignty over the islands of San Andres, Prov idence and Alberquerque, as well as "tiler smaller islands in the Caribbean N, 'a in longitude 84 degrees, as the territorial limits of the new repub do lie between longitude 7 9 degrees and 84 degrees. The department of bolivar, though bounded by the 78th degree of longitude, has hitherto ex ercised control over the islands, tvhere English only is spoken. 'he newspapers propose that the government shall negotiate for the transfer of the islands to the United “tales for use as a coaling station. TRENT WENtTo^CDLON WITHOUT HER PAPERS. Kingston.

New Japanese Cabinet Wniiti to lie*i*t Deitinnilw. Victoria, B. C., Nov. 29.—Advices re ceived from Tokio by the steamer Athenian to-day say that the dragging of the Russo-Japanese negotiations and the manner in which Russia is using the delay to continue aggressive tastics, the policy qf provoking Japan, having lately given place to pressure upon China, is causing considerable agitation in Japan. Attacks against the delays in negotiations have lately concentrat ed in a charge that Marquis Ito is a Russophile, and after the publication of a strong memorial to the Marquis by the anti-Russian Union, whose del egations were refused an audience by Marquis Ito, the Nippon, an anti-Rus sian paper, on Nov. 10, suggested the assassination of Marquis Ito. The is sue was prohibited by the authorities, but not before it had been widely cir culated. Viceroy Yuan Sha-Kai has strongly memorialized the government to de cide upon a resolute policy against Russia, claiming that Japan and Amer ica, being inclined to resist Russian aggression in Manchuria, would sup port China. The reconstruction of the cabinet has resulted in a marked stiffening against Russian demands. Sennat to mil Conversation. London, Nov. 30.—According to the Tokio correspondent of the Daily Mail, a telegram from Tien Tsin to the Amiji reports a sensational conversa tion between Gen. Wogack and Yuan Shai Kai, director general of the Pekin- Shan-Hai-Kwan Railroad, in which Gen. Wogack is reported to h'ave stated that the demand for the evacuation of Manchuria is unreasonable and impos sible for fulfillment. Yuan Shai Kai re plied to this that a third power would never consent to accept such a view. Gen. Wogack rejoined that a third power meant Japan, and that Russia could easily crush so small and poor an opponent at one blow, adding that China must accede to Russia’s wishes. To Demand Retires*. London, Nov. 30.—The correspondent at Tokio of the Daily Mail says that Admiral Alexieff, Russian viceroy of the Far East, has sent the battleship Poltava and three torpedo boat de troyers to Chemulpo to support Rus sia’s demands for redress in connec tion with the recent affray between Russian and Japanese sailors, regard ing which the Russian minister at Se oul maintains an unyielding attitude. Port Should Be Opened. London, Nov. 29.—Baron Hyashi, the Japanese minister to Great Britain, in an interview had with him here to day, said he believed his government considered it to be in the interest not only of Japan, but of other countries, that either Yongampho or Wiju should be opened to foreign commerce. Japan, however, he said, would negotiate such a matter with Korea, and not with Russia. -tii t Coalition of Parties. London, Nov. 30. —The Times corre spondent in Tokio cables that events there indicate the likelihood of a coali tion and perhaps a fusion of the Seiyu kai and Progressive parties, -which will probably result in a strong opposition in the Diet to the cabinet unless the latter shows that some progress has been made in the negotiations with Russia. Russia After More Ships. London, Nov. 29.—The Daily Tele graph, in this morning’s issue, says it hears that Russia is trying to pur chase the two battleships Libertad and Constitution recently built in Eng lish yards for Chile. Russia, it is said, wants these vessels to increase her Far Eastern squadron. SAM JONES HELDUP~ AT HIS OWN MEETING. A Zealous Polieenian Would Not Let Him Enter. Atlanta, Nov. 29. —Because of the large crowd which gathered at the Baptist Tabernacle to-night to hear the Rev. Sam P. Jones speak in the interest of the Tabernacle Hospital, the famous evangelist came very near be ing kept out of the building. Some time before the hour for the speaking to begin the church was crowded to Its doors, and a policeman was stationed at the entrance to keep out all others. When Mr. Jones came up the bluecoat stopped him, and only laughted when Mr. Jones told him that there would be no speaking without him. The officer insisted in his course, and the congregation would probable have been left without a speaker had not former Councilman Glass arrived on the scene in time to inform the zealous cop as to the identity of the man he was holding out. FOUR NEGRO CHILDREN BURN IN THEIR HOME. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 29.—A report has reached here to-day of the burn ing to death of four negro children about eight miles west of here last night. They were the children of William Ellis. He and his wife went to a ne gro festival several miles from their home and locked the children in their cabin.

NOVEMBER 30, 1003. TO AID HIS MOTHER NEIDERMIER BARGAIN’S WITH PO LICE FOR REWARDS. CONFESSES MORE CRIMES AND CLAIMS REWARDS FOR HIS MOTHER. Nelderinier Told the Chicago Police About Truin Hold-Up*, Hurglnrie* and Other Crime* He Declared He Hail Committed—-tillered to Make a Clean BreuMt of Everything It Guaranteed That Hi* Mother Would Deceive the Reward*. Chicago, Nov. 29. —Peter Neidermier, one of the members of the quartette of young bandits, who for the past six months have terrified Chicago, in another confession to-day added several more crimes to the long list already charged against him and his compan ions, Van Dien, Marks and Roeski. With parental love uppermost in his mind, Neidermier offered to tell Chief of Police O’Neil of a score of train hold ups, burglaries and other crimes that he has committed, if the rewards offered will only be given to his mother. “X want to know that my mother will be cared for after I am hung,” said the 21-year-old hoy, who is now the self-confessed murderer of five men. "I am guilty of crimes of which you know nothing, and for which inno cent men are now suffering. There are rewards offered for my capture and conviction. If you will guarantee me these rewards will go to mother I will convict myself. I will confess crimes that will startle you.” In order to make his word good, Neidermier told of a few crimes which he claimed to have committed. He outlined them in such a manner. Chief O’Neil declared to-night, as only one who was concerned in them could do. Neidermier refused, however, to di vulge the names of his partners in the crimes referred to, pending proof that his mother would get the reward. His List of New Crimes, A few of the additional crimes he claims to have participated in are as follows: Robbery of the Illinois Cen tral Limited Express at Paducah, Ky., in which Barnes, one of the robbers, cut his throat while surrounded in a swamp. The others escaped. Hold up of a stage coach a mile from Butler, Nev., two years ago and rob bery of the mails. Hold up and robbery of Chicago and Northwestern passenger train near Boone, la., six months ago. Hold up and attempted robbery of Baltimore and Ohio train at Edgmoor, Ind., four years ago. Minor hold ups and robberies in and out of Chicago were mentioned by Neidermier, but in all cases he was careful to conceal the names of his associates in crime, merely giving suf ficient outline of the crimes to warrant Chief O'Neil in believing that Neidqr mier was telling the truth. When Neidermier went back to his cell it was with the assurance that his mother would be bettered SSOO financially. Special Agent W. Riley of the Chi cago and Northwestern Railroad prom ised him that Mrs. Neidermier should be given the reward of SSOO for the arrest and conviction of the Cly bourne station robberies after Neider mier detailed the robbery to them and exonerated a man named Dolle, of St. Louis, who is now' under indictment. Operator Dougherty and Ticket Agent Lathrop, the victims of the Cly bourne station hold Up, were present during Neidermier's confession, going over with him in detail the robbery and the shooting of Lathrop. Ills Story of tlie Hold-1 p. Neidermier detailed the Paducah, Ky., hold up perfectly, refusing to tell names for the reason that none of the Illinois Central detectives were pres ent. He offered to tell Special Agent O’Keefe the entire story of the daring robbery and even show him the house in Kentucky where he hid after the robbery. "I stalled the train alone,” said Neidermier. ‘‘Then I entered the bag gage car and threw out three sacks. Barnes grabbed one of them. I was lucky in getting away with my life. They found Barnes in a swamp with his throat cut. He had the razor in his hand that he committed suicide with. “Before last May I spent three years in hold ups and robberies outside Chi cago, and if the rewards are forthcom ing for my mother I will make a clean breast of everything.” The police have been so appalled by Neldermier’s confessions that they hardly give credence to all his asser tions. It is thought that his anxiety over his mother's welfare has prompted him to make himself the author of crimes he did not commit. From the assertions made by Neidermier and Van Dein to-day it is said by the police that more arrests will be made. Chief O’Neil to-night asserted that there was a strong prob ability that Neidermier and Van Dein would tell of all their accomplices in other crimes in which both men have acknowledged they had help. welcomefoFskinner. llniteil Stntex Envoy Well Received in Abyssinia. DJlboutll. French Somaliland, Nov. 29. —Robert P.

WAS A LIVELY WAR BETWEEN FAMILIES. Walpr anil Bullet* Halneil l poll the Tenant* Below. •Cincinnati, Nov. 29.—Feudal fighting that had been going on at 1253 Rich mond street for a week to-day cul minated in an incipient riot in the cen tral part of the city. Murder and lynching were narrowly averted. The premises on Richmond street are owned by A. T. Anderson, who occu pied the second floor, while the family of William S. Ford, as tenants, occu pied the first floor. The feud was be tween the Andersons and Fords. The Fords having paid their rent, Anderson could not eject them. He attempted two days ago to drive the Fords out by turning on the water from the upper floor and flooding the house, thereby damaging his own prop erty over SI,OOO. Yesterday he fired repeatedly through holes made in the floor. At one time when there was a fusilade of shots from the upper floor. Mrs. Ford and her babe were slightly scratched with bullets. To-day Anderson cut with an ax a large hole through t'he floor and ceiling and turned the hose directly onto the Fords. The exchange of shots that followed attracted hundreds of people and also a force of police. The latter had great difficulty in holding the neighbors and the crowd back when Anderson’s door was broken into and he was arrested. Anderson was arrested for shooting to kill. Ford was shot behind the ear and would have been instantly killed but for a silver plate inserted in his head after he had been shot years ago. After Ford’s wounds were dressed at the hospital he was arrested for cut ting the water pipes to prevent the flood that Anderson had turned loose. Anderson was released on bail, but kept in hiding, as the angry crowd remained about his premises. Elijah Thatcher, son-in-law of Ford, was also arrested for shooting t?o kill. THREE NEGROES ARE SAID TO HAVE BEEN LYNCHED. They Hail Shot Down II Prominent White Planter. Shreveport, La., Nov. 29.—Uncon firmed reports from Belcher, La., where Robert Adger, a prominent planter and business man, was shot down by negroes last night, are to the effect that three of Jhe negroes have been caught and Identified and that by this time they doubtless have been lynched. Five negroes are implicated in the shooting, which will probably result fatally. Mr. Adger was shot six times while trying to quell a disturb ance. The three men were captured within three miles of Belcher, and the other two are moving across the country in the direction of De Soto parish, with three large posses in pursuit. The negroes who were caught near Belcher were placed in concealment by citizens to prevent the authorities from rescuing them. The citizens made no concealment of their intentions to lynch the negroes, as their crime was a particularly atrocious one. It is impossible to communicate with Belcher to-night, and the fate of the negroes is not positively known. EVIDENCE FOR DREYFUS WAS NOT PRESENTED. It Is Asserted Tlint Documents Fav orable to Him Were Withheld. Paris, Nov. 23. —It is affirmed that Gen. Andre, the War Minister, exam ined the Dreyfus dossier in order to verify accusations against certain offi cers involved in the Dreyfus case, and the statement that two documents, which influenced greatly the court at Rennes, before which Dreyfus was tried, were undoubtedly forgeries. It is further asserted that a number of documents most favorable to Dreyfus were not shown to the Rennes court. In the event of a demand for an In terpellation regarding the case being made in the Chamber of Deputies, the government intends to ask for an ad journment of that body until the com mission to which was referred the dos sier and the petition for a revision of sentence shall have rendered a decision. This action will be taken in order to prevent Parliament from interfering in any investigation of a purely judicial character. hobsonHasaVidea of SPENDING $2,750,000,000.

WEEK IN THE HOUSE Promises to See tlie Announcement of the Committee*. Washington. Nov. 29. —The interest ing feature of this week's proceedings in the House of Representatives will be the announcement of committees by Speaker Cannon. This announce ment is looked for Tuesday, on \\ hich day the first session of the week will be held. The Speaker says, however, that there may be delays, in which case the members will not know thMr several fates as to committee assignments un til Friday, when it is proposed to hold the next session, or perhaps until Saturday. In just what manner the extra ses sion is to end, whether by joint reso lution of the two houses or by opera tion of the constitutional provision con vening the regular session on the first Monday in December, is another in teresting feature for the week’s de velopment. The precedents on this point are being spread before the Speaker for his guidance. House leaders have taken the posi tion that no matter how the extra session ends the responsibility for its termination in the absence of the com pletion of the Cuban legislation shall not rest with the lower House. For this reason there is some objection to a joint resolution unless that form of adjournment should come from the Senate. Senate precedent, which is a matter of some weight in that body, is to look for an adjournment resolu tion from the House. This has been the method of adjourning extraordi nary sessions of Congress heretofore, and would seem to warrant the predic tion that the regular manner will pre vail and that some time during the week the House will make its proposi tion for adjournment to the Senate, which will be accepted. In the absence of such a resolution the plan suggested, so far as the House is concerned, is to take a recess on Saturday until a few minutes before 12 o'clock Monday, then to adjourn the extra session and then assemble the regular session precisely on the hour of 12. In the absence of a quorum in the House during the week the minority In that body will be in position to shape the course of events to some ex tent. Representative Williams, the mi nority leader, announces that when the House meets Tuesday the attention of the country will he called again to ’’the spectacle of a Republican Con gress in session, but doing nothing.” Should the leaders of the majority not take this curtain lecture good natured ly and peremptorily cut it off, the point will be made by the minority that "no quorum" is present, which, under the rule, will necessitate a meeting the House each day. At each one of these meetings the same effort will be made by the monority to emphasize the inaction of Congress. Should the week’s session proceed without a quorum in this manner it will be impossible to originate or con sider an adjournment resolution, in which case the extra session neces sarily will expire by UmttnMMk MEETS TO ADJOURN Aliont the l.lnitt of the Senate's Ac tivity lit 'l'li in Time. Washington, Nov. 29.—The Senate will not do any business other than of a routine character during the present week, It will meet Tuesday and un less the House manifests a disposition by that time to reach a final adjourn ment, will adjourn over to the follow ing Friday. The understanding is that the Senate will not originate a reso lution for the adjournment of the ses sion, but some senators entertain the hope that the House will send over an adjournment resolution not later than Friday. The Cuban reciprocity bill is on the calendar as the unfinished business, but no speeches will be made on It un til after the beginning of the regular session a week from to-morrow. The Committee on Military Affairs will continue tis inquiry into the case of Gen. Wood during the week, wholesaleVischarges. Harvester Company Will Lay Oil 7,500 Men. Chicago, Nov. 29. —Following its an nounced policy of centralization, the International Harvester Company has decided to lay off 7,500 of Its 19,000 employes, and thus effect a saving of $5,000,000 a year.

Thirty-seven mills, with em ployes aggregating more than 17,000 will be effected. No trouble is anticipated by the mill owners.

They will await a market more favorable to the manufacturers before pressing for a return to former figures. threFboyTdrown. Blackstone, Mass, Nov. 29.—The three sons of Mrs. Nellie Reed, John. 17; Wil liam, 14, and George, 8 years of age, were drowned in the Blackstone river to-day.

Atlanta, Nov. 29.—Seven students of the Georgi'a School of Technology, five of whose names are known, are likely to get Into serious trouble from their fellow students because they attended the football game between Georgia and Auburn on Thanksgiving Day instead of the contest between Tech und South Carolina. A meeting of the student body will be held to-morrow afternoon, at which the final termin'atlon of the matter will be decided. The spirit of rivalry be tween the University of Georgia and Tech is now very strong, and a large number of the students of the insti tution are in favor of expelling those who deserted their game. However, the punishment may result only in os tracisenient or some such amusement as shaving their heads. These students were discovered by a committee of six students sent to watch for Tech students at the Georgia game. The names of the students who attended the game were Walter Hodg son of Athens, William M. Davis of Macon, Dupont Guerry, Jr., of Macon; X’'red. Richardson, all of whom were formerly students of the university, and Joel Deen of Rome. The young men are among the best known of the school and are all sons of prominent Georgi’a families. EXPECTS THE SEABOARD TO SCOOP THEM IN. This Now tlie Talk of the Atlantic anil Uiriiiinghnm Lines. Atlanta, Nov. 29. —It is stated on good authority that the acquirement of the Atlantic and Birmingham Railroad by Eastern Capitalists, represented by H. M. Atkinson of this city, means that road will be used as a connecting link between the main lines of the Seaboard Air Line system of South Georgia and Florida, and those enter ing Atlanta from the east and from the west. T. Jefferson Coolidge of Boston, Mass., who h'as just acquired exten sive interest in the Seaboard, is one of the prime movers in securing the Atlantic and Birmingham, and consoli dating it with the Tifton and North eastern and the Tifton, Thomasville and Gulf. That these roads will all be come a part of the Seaboard system there is practically no doubt. Interesting developments in relation to tlie Seaboard are expected within the next few weeks.
