The repub lican party never stands still, but keeps at work. The last congress, which started in with thirteen major ity has-been so far-approved that the republican party has again been put in control, starting ih tfith'tliirty-nine ma jority. This is a tribute to the wisdom of the last congress. We are confront ed now with work which will affect the minds of the people at the elections next year. We will expet the same from the opposition. There is always more activity at very congress preced ing a congressional election than at any other time. We will require all of the wisdom we possess, and all of the patriotism, for we have a great danger to confront us continually, and that is the surplus in the treasuy. I appeal to my republican colleagues to keep ir. mind tfet this Is a danger and if we can be me in the presence of that danger find approval from the American petite. ” HVE FLAMES.

SURRENDER TO UNITED STATES Captain Perry, of the Battleship lowa, Accompanied By Marines, Act As Mediators In Carrying Out Terms of Capitulation. Advices from Colon state that terms of surrender agreed upon at a confer ence held Wednesday on board the United States gunboat Marietta and at which the officers of the Marietta, of the BHtish cruiser Tribune and of the French cruiser Suchet, Lieutenant Commander McCrea, cf the Machias, Captain Perry, of the lowa, Generals Alban and Jeffries, representing the government of Colombia, and Senor de la Rosa, who represented the liberal party, were present, are briefly as fol lows: Senor de la Rosa agreed to surren def the liberal soldiers now at Colon, with their arms to Captain Perry at noon Friday; Captain Perry in his turn agreed to hand over these men and their arms later in the day to Gen eral Alban, who in his turn, guaranteed life and liberty to all men recently in arms against the conservative govern ment of Colombia The surrender cf arms was to be bona flde in every re spect. Surrendered to United States. At half past 11 o’clock Friday morn ing a large number of marines and blue jackets from the lowa, the Marietta and the Machias landed at Colon and proceeded to the barracks. Here the arms belonging to the liberal soldiers were taken over by the Americans in the presence of Captain Perry, the commanders of the warships above mentioned, the American, British and French consuls at Colon, and a large concourse of people who sympathiz'” with the liberals in their su -uder. The liberal guard patrolling Colon Friday morning appeared sad and downcast. Their behavior, however, has all along been most praiseworthy, and it is not at all an exaggeration to say that they have gained the respect of a very large portion of the com munity, and especially of the foreign elements, during their short adminis tration at Colon. Later in the day General Alban, ac companied by officials cf the conserva tive government of Colombia, arrived direct from Panama and Senor de la Rosa, representing General Domingo Diaz, whose secretary he is, surren dered himself and the liberal troops to the conservative general in the pres ence of Captain Perry and the naval and consul officers above mentioned.

When General Alban received the surrender of the liberals the gunboat Pinzon blew a series of noisy, quick ,ind irregular notes from her fog horn indicative of her joy at the proceed ings. General Alban was on board. The majority of tho American raa rines and blue jackets have returned to their vessels. The Suchet has land - detachment of marines on the property u. " ~ ; a-^ ny. American marines are still guard ing the piers and the railroad station. Over 200 men entered the city with General Alban. De la Rosa, in handing General Alban his sword, said: “I accept the conditions of the treaty to safeguard the liberty of my sol'” As for my broth er and myself, we decline to accept the conditions of *ms treaty.” Washington Is Interned. The following cables um was receiv ed at the navy dep? *eut Friday from Captain Perry, o' .e Iowa: “Colon, Novev . 29. —Arrangements for surrende day of Colon and lib eral forces -ve been completed.” A cab' gram has been received at the st- e department from Consul Gen era 1 Gudger, dated Panama, saying t v the liberals have been defeated J that the government forces are in possession of Colon.

CREAH C < NEWS Sumir ‘►’Most Im. !y Happen -t Told. FOR TARIFF REFORM Slogan is Raised in Democratic Caucus at Washington.

Of these meirb bers of the minority 126 were present, including Mr. Shafroth, of Colorado, andMr. Newlands, silverites, Mr. Ne ville and Mr. Stark, populists, of Ne braska, declined to enter the caucus. Mr. Hay, of Virginia, chairman of the democratic caucus, presided. Without oppositioh the following selections were madfe for officers of the house to be presented at the meeting of the house Monday. Speaker, Mr. Richardson, of Tennes see; clerk, ex-Representative James Kerr, of Pennsylvania; sergeant at arms, ex-Representative E. V. Brook shire, of Indiana; doorkeeper, Charles Edwards, Texas; postmaster, James K. Jackson, of Alabama. Tho selection of Mr. Richardson as candidate for speaker clothes him offi cially with the minority leadership. Mr. Richardson briefly thanked the caucus for the honor done him. The interesting portion of the caucus followed. Representative McClellan, of New York, by direction of the dem ocratic members of the New York dele gation who had met just prior to the assembling of the caucus, offered a resolution as an expression of the sense of the caucus which, In part, was as follows: ’Resolved, That we shall promote to the utmost of our power the removal of the oppressive, restrictive and often prohibitory ieatures of the existing tariff. It has been truly declared to be the mother of trusts. The tendency to create combinations of wealth, es tablishing practical monopolies in the manufacturing and commercial indus tries of the United States, threatens the future existence of individual man ufacturers and merchants and trades men of moderate or small means. “2. We shall favor just and generous treatment of the inhabitants of Porto Rico and Cuba. American obligations to Cuba should be sacredly performed. “3. We are opposed to the subsidy bill presented at the last session as calculated to create a shipping mon opoly. “4. We shall oppose the use in any form of the money of all the people for the exclusive benefit of private inter ests. ‘‘s. We shall insist upon the sacred force of the fundamental American rule of democratic self government. Whatever protectorate over newly-ac quired islands or lately conquered peo ple may be necessary for a longer or a shorter time, whatever limited sites for naval stations naay properly be re tained or acquired by the United States, we are opposed to any incorpo ration Into our republic of other lands or the assumption of sovereignty over them, excep as ineir inhabitants may be fitted for '"'lf-government, and ex cept as the pr ection of our constitu tion no less thai. -f our flag may be ex tended to them *th safety to our elves.’’ The presenting of 's resolution nltated a row. Mchardson .mpted to prei 'ng of it by a motion to refer all /ns to a special committee of who should report at a future caucus; but this motion was ruled out of order pending the reading of the resolution. When the reading was concluded Mr. Ball, of Texas, gave notice that he would offffer the Kansas City platform as a substitute. This brought replies from Mr. Fitzgerald, of New York, and Mr. McDermont, of New Jersey, both of whom protested against the injec tion of the financial issue into the dem ocratic councils. “We can never Win,” declared Mr. Fitzgerald, “if we no not discard the heresy of free silver.” “We can never win,” retorted Mr. Ball, unless men calling themselves democrats support the national plat form of the democratic party.” After further sharp exchanges, Mr. Richardson succeeded in quelling the disturbance by renewing his motion to refer all resolutions to a special committee of twelve to be appointed by the chairman of the caucus. The motion prevailed. BROUGHTON IS CALLED. Parson’s Vice Crusade In Atlanta De velops Unique Features. Dr. Len G.
