FORT WAYNE INTERESTED.
Republicans There Have an Eye on
the Legislature.

There is much local speculation in po-
litical circles at Fort Wayne as to the
changes that may be made in the Twelfth
congressional district under the new con-
gressional apportionment. 1T is generally
understood that Indiana will not have an
increase in the number of representatives"
said Fort Wayne man, "but the States
increase of population will require the dis.
tricts to be larger in point of population.
1t is hoped among Fort Wayne Republic
ans that the basis for the election of the
next House will be large enough to permit
the Twelfth district to annex Kosciusko
and Elkhart counties. which would insure
a Republican representative from the dis
trict by safe majorities. The Thirteenth
district, local leaders argue, could be ar
ranged so as to divide Crumpackers enor-
nous majority and give each district, the
Thirteenth and the Tenth which lie con-
tiguous, a Republican majority of safe
size. Republicans in Fort Wayne believe
the city is of sufficient Importance to be
placed in Republican district and believe
that fact itself would have an influence
toward making the city Republican in the
future No subject that will come before
the session of 1901 will much interest the
people of Fort Wayne as the redistricting
for congressional purposes, unless Ii be the
amendments to the city charter

ADMINISTERING SIX STRAIGHT DE-
FEATs TO THE TURNER'S.
Knox and Perry Roll High Scores
Ke-We-Ba-Washfngt Games
Postponed-The Scores.


Not one man who bowled with the two
sections of the Marion team last night
failed to do his share toward making high
scores and capturing six games from the
Turner's. 1t was hard setback to the
Turner's, but the Marions were out after
all the games and the Turner's had to suf-
fer. Knox's work in the first division was
exceptionable in the first two games, while
Perry's first game in the second division
resulted in score of 229. The Turner's did
not even threaten to win game. The first
division of the Lenox team won the Sec
ond and third games from the Capital
Citys largely through the bowling of
Coutts. who rolled scores of 221 and zoo.
The second section of the Lenox did not
do so we'll and lost two of the games,
causing the two teams to split even on the
nights bowling. The games between the
Ko-We-Bas and Washingtons were post
poned until a week from tonight because
several members of the former team were
interested in the limitations at the Mystic
Shrine. The games between the Crescents
and North Sides were played on Thursday
night. The Nationals took four of the six
from the Pastimes. The individual scores
were as follows:

FIGHTING IN COLOMBIA.


KINGSTON, Jamaica. Nov. 23.-The
British steamer Barbarian, which has just
arrived here from Colon, reports that Sc
we're fighting occurred Monday and Tues
day at Culebra. The government forces
attacked the rebels, who occupied a good
position, with the result that the losses of
the former were very heavy. The fighting
proceeding when the steamer left
Tuesday night. The stores and restaurants
at Colon were closed and the rebels held a
portion of the railroad line. Another rebel
force was reported TO be engaging the gov
eminent troops near Panama. Business is
entirely suspended at the latter place and
both Panama and Colon are in state of
terror.
The rebels are attacking in determined
manner. and it is feared the slaughter will
be great before decisive results are
reached. The Liberals, it is asserted by
the passengers of the Barbarian, hold
Buena Ventura, though the Colombian
government is making a great effort to re-
gain possession of IL, but thus far unsuc-
cessfully.

TO STOP LYNCHINGs.
Booker II. Washington Says Public
Sentiment Must Be Changed.

BOSTON, Nov. 23.--Booker T. Washing
ton said last night regarding the recent
lynching of a negro in Colorado that the
same class of people who begin to break
the law by lynching negro will soon
begin to break the law by lynching a white
man. 81 think" said Mr.. Washington,
that the Colorado lynching emphasizes
the fact that the only way to stop such
outbreaks is, in the first place, to bring
about such general education, not only in
books, but in industry and thrift as will
make such acts as that which provoked
the lynching fewer. and then to educate
public sentiment up to the point where
people in all parts of the country will see
that we can only have the highest civiliza-
ton If the law is enforced regardless OF
race or color. Wherever people begin TO
lynch for one kind of offense they are soon
led in the temptation of lynching for any
other kind of offense. Aside from the
injustice that is perpetuated on the in
Gividual put to death without a legal trial
we must bear In mind that there is per-
manent degradation which comes to the ir-
dividual who takes part in and witnesses
such an outrage as occurred in Colorado"
