TRANQUIL AT COLON.
IT Is ACCOMPANIED, HOWEVER. RY
MUCH ANXIETY.
Situation Has a Depressing Effect
on Observation-Disclosures on the
Canal Continue in the Beaten
Path.

COLON, Colombia, Aug 2f-(Copyright
by the Associated Press.)-It is true that
tranquility prevails in this country, but
it is accompanied with much anxiety lest
those dissatisfied in the country and
those who were beaten in the recent rev.
olutions should again make an effort TO
overturn the existing order of things. II
is well known and admitted that General
Alfero has among his followers a large
number of Colombian liberals and each
victory he gains over the tame govern
ment over in Ecuador but increases the
fear of further trouble in Colombia
Should Alfero arrive in power in Ecua-
dor it is confidently expected his aid will
be extended to the liberals of~this country
to achieve their ends. He has over LOO
men at Panama. The situation at this
moment, has a most depressing effect on
business. Exchange on New York is at
80 per cent.
Operations on the canal continue in the
beaten path, confhed, however, to Co.
lombia and its immediate vicinity. The
number of hands employed is about 11G0
men. One can say that much work is
being done considering the number of
workmen employed. The break down in
machines, such as eXcavators, locomo-
tives and cars, and they are frequent,
offer serious impediments. The large
number of these materials az hand offer
facilities in changing them, but the same
nishaps are encountered The repairs eff
fected here are only temporary, owing to
the absence Of any suitable machine
shops. The strike which commenced
among canal laborers at Culebra contin-
ued up to Monday last. when the men re-
sumed work at an increase of wages
Those who were getting so cents per day
now receive 80 cents, and those who got
30 cents have been advanced to 81. The
wages of mechanics have increased 20
cents per day IL IS reported that there
are now $50 soldiers stationed along the
route of the canal 1t is stated that the
British government will grant a subsidy
to the Halifax and Bern. which
will enable their cable to extend to the
West Indies. 1t is reported from Atrial
month several strong earthquakes We're
felt in that province. completely destroy
ing the village of Cupca, and that all
the houses have been demolished. Many
land slides took place at the same time,
DANA ging the adjacent plantations. Sick
ness has broken out among the 1nhabit-
ants
The government of the department has
ordered that funds be sent to the vic
TINS of this catastrophe and asks the
projects of the other provinces TO solicit
aid for the sufferers.

ton is received here that Gen

I,oREDo, Tex, Sept. Information
riding the fearful storm of Friday
raging from Corpus Christi, Texas
and across the border several nun
dred miles into Mexico, is very meagre
Late tonight scarcely anything dell
finite can be learned. Enough Is
known. however, to state that the
storm is the worst known in north
ern Mexico. Indications tonight show
that wires to the City of Mexico, over
the Mexican railway, will not be OF
service until tomorrow and unofficial
information would indicate the aband-
onment of the through trains until the
latter part of the week.
In many places the Mexican Nation
al roadbed is washed out for several
hundred yards. At one point 300 yards
of the track was washed into
very small river and twisted into all
sorts of shapes. 1t is reported that
one passenger train is stranded near
Salome Botolo, a small mining camp
about a hundred miles froh Laredo,
the embankment being washed out at
the head and rear of the train. There
are no reports of loss of life or homes.
The American roads care equally as
badly damaged, but communication
with the City of Mexico is established
by way of Eagle Pass.

THE RED RAG.
Socialists Have Flag Presentation
in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The Chicago So
cialists had their flag presentation to-
day, but the presence of the police and
the knowledge that there was a large
reserve in all the stations made it
very tame affair
The flag was presented to the Social
lists by daughter of Oscar Neebe, on
behalf of the wives and daughters of
the Radicals in the city. 1t is blood
red and on one side bears the inscrip-
ton, 'fSocialistic Labor Party of Chi
cago." The police were informed that
it was the intention of the Socialists
to have parade after the presenta-
ton ceremonies and that the flag would
be carried at its head, but the officers
Informed the committee that no such
parade would be permitted and the
idea was given up. The speeches were
very tame, having none of the old-time
radical ring in them. There was con-
siderable disappointment because Kier
Hardie failed to put in an appearance,
as it had been announced MAT he
would address the assemblage.

Especial to The Herald

BOISE, Ida, Sept. 1.-Boise will
probably witness the workings of the
Lexow process before long.
Startling charges of corruption in
the administration OF city affairs have
been made by Councilmen Fem and
Collister, two of the administration
which only recently went into Office.
The charges are made in connection
with the anti-laundry ordinance,
passed in 1888. and postponed several
- Zines so that its effectiveness was
host.
Loud complaints went up from citi-
zens over the maintenance of Chinese
laundries. which, in most instances,
were opium dives, within the fire
limits. An ordinance was passed pro-
hibiting them being kept inside the
limits, and the owners of buildings
rented to Chinese, who pay heavy
rents, have been able to secure post
ponement from time to time, OF the
date the ordinance should go into eff
feet 1t is charged that the ordin-
ance was made use of as lever for
the extortion Of blackmail by corrupt
city officials.
Collister says he is cognlzant Of sew
eral payments being made TO stave
Nj the, enforcement of the ordinance.
The .Lexow searchligh. will be turned
on. and Boise will be treated to some
startling exposures, involving some
e~who have been seated in high places.
1t Is said the laundry hlackmail
scheme is only one of the man, prac-
ticed by the. corruptionists.
Some severe charges are being made
against a dead man, in the case of
Ed. Z. Stone, who was murdered, as
Rfupposed, by his father-in-law, John
Curtis, to avenge the death Of the
old mans daughter, who died from
the effects of poison. The case was
given out as suicide but Curtis de-
clares Stone not only murdered his
wife, but also his baby, who died
short time before. Mrs. Stone left the
house to go to a neighbours. The baby
was apparently well when she left.
When she returned it was dead. 1t
will come out IN evidence that Stone,
in talking to a neighbor said he could
see no difference between a baby and
"a little pig or a puppy dog. Stone
was very unpopular where he lived,
and the conviction of Curtis is doubt
full Stone had threatened Curtis life
several times. He shot at him once,
the bullet grazing the old mans head.

AGAIN STIRRED UP.
Troubles in the Catholic Diocese of
Lincoln.

OMAHA, Sept. AFTER two months
of profound calm the Roman Catholic
diocese of Lincoln was again stirred up
today. In the latter part of June
Bishop Bonacum issued an order sus-
pending and deposing Fathers Fitz-
gerald and Murphy, stationed at South
Auburn and Tecumseh respectively.
The order was to take effect July Is.
This was a document of much signifi-
canoe inasmuch as Bishop Bonacum
stated that his acts were subject to
the approval of the college of the pro-
paganda at Rome For some unknown
reason the order was not enforced. 1t
is said to have been annulled by Mon
seignor Satolli without waiting for the
consent of the propaganda. The priests
continued peacefully in the perform
ance of their duties until last Friday,
when an episcopal messenger at
tempted to serve on them a citation
to appear for trial before the bishop.
The priests refused to receive the
document The priests say they will
not stand trial on any charges based
on their conduct in filing charges
against the bishop, as the law forbids
the renewal of cases already decided.
Fathers Fitzgerald and Murphy recent
ly received autograph letters from
Monseignor SatolM. assuring them of
his friendship.

ialst on suicide and insanity, says that
Jack the Ripper who by his crimes,
terrorized London few years ago, IS
incarcerated in a county lunatic asylum
in England.
Mr.. Winslow says the fact Is known to
the doctors. but they hushed up the
facts. DR.. Winslow says he is a medical
student suffering from suicidal mania.
The doctor has come to New York to

be held September 4, and 6. He will
be chairman of the department. of in

pared a paper on suicide considered as a
mental epidemic.
The story told by DR.. Winslow is as
follows:

blue eyes. He studied very hard and his

INTENSE RIVALRY.
1t eliminated in a Fatality at Du-
luth Yesterday.


DULUTH, Mimi, Sept 1.-For some
months past there has been intense III
valry between the Inman and Singer
tug lines at this port. Today this ri
valry eliminated in a fatality. The
tug Medinah, of the Singer line, was
running alongside the steamer Joliet
as the latter was passing up the bay
and was about to take her line when
the Pathfinder of the Inrnan line cut
across the bows of the steamer and the
Medinah without signalling. COLI
sion at once occurred. The Medinah
struck the Pathfinder, and she rolled
over like a log. Her crew jumped and
all but Fireman Jacob Wasser were
saved, being picked up by passing
ferry. The fireman jumped on the side
toward which the tug was rolling and
was carried down under her, the body
being subsequently recovered. The
Pathfinder turned completely over and
lies in fourteen feet of water with her
smoke stack just protruding above wa
ter. Captain Lietzel of the Medinah,
and Captain Brown of the Pathfinder,
were arrested and locked up.

Maior Richard sy1vester.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Major
Richard Sylvester, the oldest and one
of the best known journalists in
Washington, died here today.
Major Sylvester had been identified
with the Washington Post as an ed
itorial writer since it's foundation, in
1879, and up to the year before his
death had scarcely missed day from
his desk for any cause. AS political
writer, he was looked upon by his
contemporaries as an authority with
out partisanship or prejudices.
A widow and four children survive
him.
The deceased was born in New
Hampshire in 1880. Before going to
Washington he was engaged in news
paper work in Iowa and st. Louis.
