NOT IN A HURRY TO ACT.
PANAMA CANAL CONCESSION HELD
IN ABEYANCE.
The Colombian Government VIII Not
Extend the Time of the French
Syndicate Till America
Is Heard From,

New YORK, Jan. 29-The Herald's
Panama correspondent Gays: San emf
nent Colombian assures me that no ac.
tion will be taken on this application for
new concession by the Panama Canal
company until United States Minister
Abbott reaches Bogota. La it's decision
Colombia will be largely influenced by
Tho friAndlv. cnnnsal of the United -States
government. Nsssn tns concession
lapses next month it ia probable the
government of Colombia will take imme-
diate possession of the canal and the
visible assets of the company. II
this is done, the Colombian government
expects the aid of the United States if
necessary. This expectation is based
on its treaty with the United States
by which that government is bound to
protect the interests of Colombia. A
new concession may be granted to an
American and British syndicate If
anxious to secure it,. If not,
the Colombian government may un-
dertake to complete the work
as national enterprise. In that case
they would let the contract for its com
pletion to the lowest responsible bidder.
If the government should undertake the
work, payment will be arranged by is
suing special canal bonds. Should the
United States desire special privileges
on the isthmus, not already assured by
the treaty of 1916, that government
might secure them by joining Colombia
and guaranteeing the interest on the
bonds

New YORK, Jan. 29.-At Calvary Bap-
tist church this evening Rev. DR.. Nc
Arthur, in the course of an address on
Blaine, referred to the Burchard Rum,
Romanism and Rebellion incident, say
ing many thought Burchsrd deliberate
ly uttered the words with the intent to
injure Mr.. Blaine's cause. Macarthur
said nothing was farther from the truth.
Burchard did not know, up to five min
utes before, that he WAS to speak.
1t had been arranged that DIR.
Armitage should speak, but at the last
minute the committee was notified he
had been detained in Philadelphia, and
Burchard was called upon.
'As the ill-chosen words fell trem-
blingly from his lips," said Macarthur,
Il watched Mr.. Blaine, but he seemed
absorbed in deep thought and not to
notice them, though he must have been
the first to appreciate their eirimportance."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The body of
the late ex-Secretary Blaine was re-
moved this evening to the parlor on the
north side OF the second floor of the
residence. During the afternoon and
evening number of friends called and
took last look upon the face of the de-
parted Statesman. The expression OF
the lace is peaceful and the lineaments
of the well.known countenance showed
few traces of the ravages of the disease
tnat carried him off. The caaket is
almost buried under a mass of floral
tributes, many of them received from
distance. 1t lies in the room where the
first prayers of the funeral services will
be said by Rev. DR.. Hamlin of the
church of the Covenant at IL o'clock to-
morrow.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
funeral will be private, in one respect
the services will be as truly national in
their representative character as if q
president was being buried. The state
OF Maine will send delegation OF IA,
headed by General Cleeves; Massa-
chusetts will have q delegation of FIVE
members; the Union League club Of
New York will send 25 members to rep
resent that organization, and the Union
League club of Philadelphia, 20. From
various other points OF Pennsylvania
will come several delegations. Alto
gether 100 or more OF these representa-
tives will be present. Personal friends
to the number of 65 have notified the
family of their intention to be present
from various parts of the country.
The services at the church, as well as
at the house, will be strictly private
and no one will be admitted who has
not received an invitation. The family
regret this, but the limited seatinG Gar

vided for, leaves no room.

A SERIOUS STRIKE.
Militia Ordered Out to Aid the Sheriff
at Dunkfrk, N, Y.

Militia Ordered Out to Aid the Eherin
at Dunkirk, N. Y.
DUNKIRK, N Y, Jan. 20 AT O'Clock
this morning Sheriff Jenner of Chautau-
qua county came to the conclusion that
the strike ct the Brooks locomotive
works WAS so serious as to warrant call
ing for troops. The Thirteenth separate
company OF jamestown proceeded to
Dnnkirk this morning. There is intense
excitement here tonight and trouble of
a serious character is anticipated. The
Brooks people evidently intend to bring
in force of men sufficient to run the
works.
DuNKIRK, N. Y, Jan. 29.-The strike
which began month ago was caused
by the riveters in the boiler department
refusing to work under certain contract
ors, alleging inhuman treatment. The
lack of riveters made it necessary to lay
off men in the other departments and
now about 800 men are out of employ
ment. The Brooks people engaged
Philadelphia men to take the strikers
places and brought them here yesterday
by special train. Yesterday President
Hinman received information that
threats had been made against the
works and new employees and the pro-
lection of Sheriff Jenner was asked.
That official at once appealed to General
Doyle and troops are being held ready
as precautionary measure.
At II O'Clock this (Monday) morning
the sheriff stated he could now get
along without troops, the strikers hav-
ing waited on him and assured him
nothing was farther from their thoughts
than violence.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 29.-Colonel
Fox is holding the Seventy-fourth regi
ment for orders to proceed to the scene
of the strike at Dunkirk.
Major Stewart, who went to Dunkirk
this evening, returned at midnight and
reported the strikers quiet and no indi-
cation of violence.

TIFrY-SECOND CONGRESS.

The Senate About to Dispose of the
Anti-Optiun Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.--The most nota-
BILE event OF the week in congress will
probably be the disposition OF the anti
option bill in the senate. By agreement
the final vote upon the bill will be taken
at 2 O'Clock Tuesday 1t will then in all
probability be sent back to the house
with its many amendments. The first
two regular appropriation bills are now
on the calendar of the senate, and it is
the expectation of the managers also to
call up the Cullom bill making amend
ments 90 the interstate commerce law.
The house leaders intend to keep at
work on appropriation bills, to the ex-
clusion of all other business.
Practically the whole of SATURDAYS
session of the senate was spent
behind closed doors in executive
session, lasting from 1910 to
A 80, when the senate adjourned until 2
O'Clock Monday, the change of hour be-
ing to allow the senators an oportunitv
to attend Blaine's funeral. In the
morning the army appropriation bill
was reported from the committee on ap-
propriations and placed on the cslen-
dar. This is the first general appropri-
alton bill reported to the senate this
session.
Proctor introduced a bill to incorpor-
ate the American university in the Dis
trict OF Columbia.
Senator Carey gave notice of two
amendments which he intended to offer
to the house bill providing for the ad-
mission of New Mexico into the union.
Carey's first amendment strikes out all
after the enactment clause of the New
Mexico bill and substitutes an omnibus
bill admitting the territories of New
Mexico, Utah, Arizona and Oklahoma.
The state of Okla homa is made Identical
with Indian territory, but it is provided
that nothing in the act shall
be construed to impair the rights OF per-
sons and property now pertaining to tue
Indians OF the territory, SO long as euch
remain unextinguished by an agreement
between the Indians and the United
States. Carey's second amendment is
identical with the first, save it omits
the territory of Arizona and is in line
with the action of the recent Republican
caucus.
