DIsCREDITS THE REPORT.

Washington, Sept 10.-The attention
OF Julio Rea2i@o. the representative OF
the republic , lombia, was called 10
reports that C~-umbia had granted
concession to England TO complete the
Panama canal, thus transferring that
mammoth enterprise from French TO
English hands. Mr.. Rengifo said he
had received no information from his
government on the subject, as the canal
project did not come within the juris-
Giction Of tho representative in Wash
iAgton. AT the same time. speaking
from an extended acQuaintnce with the
canals affairs General Rengifo ex-
pressed great doubt as 70 the accuracy
of the reports, and pointed out a num-
Der OF c.rcums tance5 showing that il
was impossible such a concession to
England or any government had been
granted. All his conversation indicated
full confidence In the successful compile
ton OF the project on its present lines.

FRAUD ON THE UNITED STATES.

Halifax. Sept. lO.-Sir Charles HILBERT
Tuppcr continued his address yesterday
before the Behring sea commission on
the subject OF United states ownership.
lie continued his citations from the case
OF the NiTginlus. He showed that the
flag OF the vessel In that case was sufii-
cient evidence of nationality. and that
the Interpretation OF the law in that case
by the United States was bad. Fraud
had been plact!sed on the United States
in placing the vessel under the protec-
tion Of the nag OF that country. which
was fraudulently displayed on that oc-
casion. but the only country capable Of
furnishing the offenders was declared TO
be the United States, and Spain had to
pay damages. Mr. Dickinson called the
attention of the commission TO the fact
that IL was not fer damages 20 the ves-
gel that the award was made but for
the murder OF the crew. Sir Charles laid
before the commission complete papers
I'm regard To the Costa Rica case. He
quoted from the case OF the Trent, and
claimed that Mason and Slidell. though
not being British subjects. were prompt
ly returned to British vessel when de-
mand for their liberation was made by
England.

OFFER TO BE ACCEPTED.

Columbus. o.. Sept. 10.-The miners
convention remained in executive seq
sion until late yesterday afternoon, ad-
tourning until today without having
taken vote on the proposed settlement
President Ratchford said % a press re-
porter last night. You may predict
with every degree OF certainty that a
settlement will be reached and that the
action of the national board in recon-
mending a settlement will be endorsed.
The delegates are beginning TO see that
the best thing they can do is 10 accept
the proposition OF the operators and
return TO work at the price offered.
While the convention should have fin
Ished its business today, IL was impos-
sible TO do so. Nearly every delegate
desired to say something regarding
the conditions in his own locality, and
the convention had To permit them 10
have their say when they have fin
ished the convention can get TO work. q"
The arguments in favor OF n settlement
have had great weight with dele gates
who are unlnstructed and even some Of
those who came with instructions have
asked to be relieved

Suffer From Conspiracy.

Tiverton, R. l.. Sept. 1o.-The investi-
cation Of the local police by the town
council was opened yesterday. At the
hearing charges OF drunkenness were
preferred against Officers Peacock and
Stewart by several witnesses. The for
mcr i'm turn accused the witnesses Of at

of prevarication between the police and
the witnesses.

charges as conspiracy against the
polce officers who had raided the liquor
dealers. Officers Gillian and Ibbertson,
whom the liquor dealers have said were
all right In that they did not see too
much. were not named in any Of the
charges. all OF which were directed

RATHER SENSATIONAL.
Woman Shot AM Her Husband
Sandbagged.

Rochester, n. Y, Sept. l0,-Churchville.
n small village few miles west Of here,
was aroused yesterday morning by
burglary and what will probably prove
10 be a murder. Mrs. George Smith was
shot. the bullet passing through her
ear and lodging in the back Of her
head. When discovered she was in
very critical condition. An effort was
made to extract the bullet, but IL proved
unsuccessful.
In another room Of the family residence
where the crime was committed, George
Smith. her husband, a wealthy resident
Of the town. lay bound and gagged. 1t
was his groans that first aroused the
household. When liberated he said
that he had been robbed by two maGSed
men, who had taken all the money he
had In the house, about 1880. Mr..
Smith also told of hearing report OF d
pistol in his wife's bedroom, adjoin-
ing the room in which he lay, and an
immediate search resulted i'm discovering
Mrs. Smith lying on the floor in semi
conscious condition, her head and shoul-
ders covered with blood.
Smith later said he was eandbagged
by the men as soon a 5 he saw them In the
house, and that when he had partly re-
covered from the effects OF the blow they
frightened him by threats Of death into
telling them where his money was.
Or. Van Horn reported that on his
return home from professional call
about 3 O'clock ne heard the report OF
revolver which might have been in the
direction Of the Smith residence.

Two men stood facing each other OIL the
crowded platform of railway station,
