CONSPIRATORS DEFEATED IN THE
FIRST EFFORT TO OVERTHROW
THE GOVERNMENT.
PRESIDENT CARNo WAS DOOMED
LIBERALS INTEND TO SLAY THE CAB
MET MEMBERS AND QUICKLY
TAKE POSSESSION.

BOGOTA, COLOMBIA Oct. 15.-Rumors
that revolution is prepared are unde-
niable. Small risings are reported through
out the entire country. Thoroughly re-
liable advices received by merchants here
from the province of Cauca announce the
discovery of conspiracy to kill General
Reyes and leading officers in the army in
that section.
Colonel Marcos Benavidis and Major VII
cente Lameda were both of Reyes head
quarters, where a number of leading senti-
nels in front of the headquarters favored
the conspirators, but three orderlies in an
ante-chamber resisted their entrance and
were killed. The noise of the fight drew
Benavidis and Lameda to the door, and
after a desper ate struggle, in which they
killed two assailants, they were killed and
bayoneted. Their cries attracted the at
tention of Reyes, who summoned a force,
mostly of officers.
While the conspirators were retreating q
number were killed or wounded on both
sides.
One of the wounded conspirators who
was captured disclosed plot, a part of
which was to assassinate Reyes and all his
officers and under new leaders march on
this city, where friends, hearing of the
success of the conspiracy, were to murder
President Carno and Cabinet and proclaim
Liberal Government.
The Government has taken extraordi-
nary precautions. A number of arrests
were made among leading Liberals and
the entire country is closely watched. The
Government is forcing levies into the army,
as news is positive that the Liberals of
Colombia are forming league with the
allies In Ecuador, and the frontiers are
watched.

One Who Recently Escaped the Chinese
Atrocities Tells of the State of Af-
fairs in the Orient

BOSTON, MASS, Oct. 15..,Rev. Robert
Parker, one of the missionaries who es-
capped the Chinese atrocities a short time
ago, lectured before large audience in
Union Hall this evening. The meeting
was held under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Board of Foreign Missions. Speaking
of the recent riots. he said:
"The civilized world at large does not
BEGIN to comprehend the terrible nature of
the atrocities committed. While time is
being given up continually to discussion
of the Armenian question: hundreds of
Christian men and women are being tor
tured and killed every year.
''These Chinese riots are not the spon-
taneous outbursts of moment They
have been going on in similar manner
ever since the missionary movement began
in China. Each year there is large num-
Der of Christians killed, concerning which
no accounts are ever published. 1t is only
by great show of force that these atroci-
ties. can be stopped. Great Britain has
taken the initiative, now let other nations

Boston on "Heredity and Ethics After
reading Mrs. Gardeners paper, Mrs. Whit
net made an address, 1.-The Relation of the
Sexes" which, she said, began with child
hood. Children should, she said, be
educated in proper way and taught the
differences between the sexes in school,
and not be stopped in their study of
anatomy just at that point which is of the
most vital importance. We should have
no more of this false modesty, but we
should work upon this subject openhanded

not believe that any of the money could be
recovered legally. He argues that had it

DEALT A SEVERE BLOW.
Railroads Entering Chicago
Must Stop Making Illegal
Charges.
A Decision of State Commissioners
That VIII Be Fought to the
Last Ditch.

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 15.-Railroads en-
tering Chicago were dealt a severe blow to-
day in the decision of the State Board of
Warehouse and Railroad Commissioners
that charges for handling freight at the
Union Stockyards are illegal.
A similar decision was recently handed
down by the United States courts in the
case of the Santa Fe. To-day's decision
the Santa Fe, but it was, nevertheless, of
no little Importance and if it is sustained
by the Circuit Court will mean the loss of
tremendous revenue yearly. All the
lines are obliged to pay the stockyards
company terminal charges and these they
have collecting from the shippers. The
Santa Fe case was appealed and decision
is now pending. In the meantime the
roads have gone right on making the
charge, althoug it has been declared IL
legal.
The case decided to-day was against the
Chicago and Alton and was brought by an
Illinois shipper. The roads will fight the
decisions to the last ditch, but it is said
there are other precedents for them and
that they will in the end be compelled to
abolish the terminal tariff
A meeting of Chicago Minneapolis lines
was held to-day for the purpose of coming

attempt to form pool, the interstate com
merce law having already been construed
by the courts as not being opposed to the

Family Get Left.
A society dame who IS not just now
financially in a condition to consider a
European trip has recently been much
puzzled, amused and even annoyed by
a rumor that she expected to spend the
coming summer abroad. So often has
she been asked about her plans and so
frequently questioned concerning tho
time of her departure, etc, that she
became desperate on the subject and
made a determined effort to chase
the report to It's lair and throttle it.
After long pursuit, she discovered an
other woman who had been told by
another woman that her servant had
the information directly from Mrs
Society Danes servant. So the dis.
turbed lady entered the kitchen and
interviewed Margaret
Margaret, did you tell Mrs. Bever-
ly's Becky that we were going to Eu-
rope this summer"

Margaret
why, Margaret, what on earth did
