COLOMBIAN REVOLUTION.
Government Forces Routed and Sur

KINGSTON, JAMAICA, June 1S.-The
following details have been received here,
furnished by passengers arrived from
Panama on board the steamer Don. from
Colon, yesterday, of a battle which was
fought June 18th and 14th on the Bejuca
Plain and Anton Hill. between the gov
eminent forces, composed of three bat
talions numbering about 1900 men, and
a force of revolutionists under General
Belasarce Parras.
1t is asserted that 400 soldiers and 50
officers of the government force were kill
ed, and that the remainder OF the govern
ment army was divided. One portion. 1t
appears, retreated to Emprador, on the
Atlantic side of the isthmus. from where
the troops We're conveyed by the Panama
Railroad to Panama. The other portion
proceeded to 1IIaBoca, on the Pacific side
Among the latter were. 1t is asserted

Panama. demanding the surrender OF the
city, adding that otherwise the place
would be taken by force The foreign con-
suls and merchants consulted with the
Governor on the situation. but when the
Don left Colon, June 18th, nothing was
known of the decision.
General Parras was at Arrajan, seven
teen miles from Panama with 1,500 armed
infantry and 500 cavalry. 1t was believed
General Campos would be compelled to
surrender the city.
It is asserted that if Panama falls Colon

United States has become one Of the great

eminent to see the most promising market
now left in the world firmly and finally
closed against US. and we do not believe

any such injury to befall US. The pity
IS that the game of politics is an unscru-

perfect right to do. No man is under
any obligation to work for any other

person offering to employ has just tia
same right to offer to employ some one
else as the first employee has to quit his
service When the breach takes place
the parties are as absolutely strangers 10
each other as if there had never been any
relation between them. The employees
have a perfect right to so and seek en-
ployment elsewhere and the employer
has a perfect right TO seek other en-
pioyes who will work for him upon the
terms that he IS willing to accord. These
are such elementary principles OF natural
right and justice that 1t is hard to un-

longer free and independent citizen,
but one com PEELED to submit to coercion.
The moment he agrees to do so he abdi-
position of a free man to that OF slave.
Because the st. Louis Street Car Com
pany would not consent to submit its
difference to arbitration, Mr.. Gombers,
president OF the American Federation
of Labor, made public announcement
which President Mahon, of the Interna-
tional Association of Amalgamated Street
Railway Employees, gave out to the pub
lie as follows:
This IS now a fight to the finish. Pres
ident Gompers told me this evening that
he proposes to turn the entire power OF
the American Federation of Labor, with
its membership Of 100000, against the
Transit Company, and fight the issue out,
If 1t takes five years to do it. The Amer
lean Federation of Labor regards the ac-
ton of the st. Louis Transit Company as
a direct stab at the yitals of unionism.
The boycott to be declared will apply not
only to the st. Louis Transit Company,
but to every person. every business man,
every association, and, in fact, every cor
poraton or individual favoring them in
any way.
Because then this railway company has
exercised the most ordinary right of a
citizen the whole power of two millions
of men is to be turned upon it and its
business is to be injured in every possible
way by which two millions of men and
all of their associates and connections
can hurt it. This is contrary to the law,
and it is contrary to every principle Of
natural right and justice. The Times
believes in the principle Of labor unions;
it believes that those unions can be of
infinite service and value to the working
men, but to be of service to them the
unions must frame their conduct upon
principles of natural right and justice
They cannot go about the business of
redressing grievances to one set of men
by inf1icting wrongs upon another set OF
men. Do unto others as We would be
done by is at the foundation of all
natural and of all municipal law that IS
intended to claim the obedience of those
1t would operate upon. The labor unions
must abandon their attempt to coerce
those with whom they differ by physical
power, or they will in time turn against
themselves all of the conservative forces
OF society We believe in arbitration,
but not in arbitration by force.

DR.. Walter Page, of the Forum and Al

dress before the University of Tennessee
this morning. In it he took occasion 10
berate the writings of Edgar Allan Poe,
commented upon Poe's private life and
classed hin, as freak rather than a
genius. While not denying him as the
latter, ne classed Thomas Nelson Page,
his cousin. and Miss Mary Johnston, both
of Virginia, as deserving a higher place
in Virginia literature than Poe.
The sentiment was not received by the
audience.

Agriculture for Negroes.

Editor Of The Times:
Sir,-Republican Representative Richard
a. Wise, of Williamsburg, has introduced
a bin in the House asking for a Federal
appropriate ton of $4,000 for every Southern
State for a negro industrial school, pro-
yided the State furnish $4,000 in addition
as guarantee of its good faith IN the
project This bill of Mr.. Wise's should
have been for a State farm rather than
school, and on it nothing should be taught
but practical application to farming and
homework Then we would have agri-
culturists and houseworkers as a result,
while the industrial school will give but a
scattering of the trades and leave agrcul-
ture untouched. 1t is said that Hampton
graduated only one pupil in agriculture
last year.
Booker 7. Washington delivered the best
address of his life in Washington the other
day before the Bethel Literary and His
torcal Association, and laid stress upon
agriculture as the basis for all future de-
velopment of the negro. This was the
correct thing. Booker at last sees that
politics and education have not made the
negro a success, and other plans must be
tried. The proper thing for the negro TO
do is to at once drop the public school
and the suffrage and set about his indus
trial tasks. Then ne will command the
immediate respect of the Southern white
man, and will save himself the disgrace of
being ousted in more particulars than one.
Nor need he be ashamed in voluntarily
relinquishing the franchise for the time
beng-thousands of the best men never
vote at ALL
There are a great many people North
and South who want to see the negro
forever debarred the franchise. Discus
sion on the subject is now going on in
Congress. Then again, there are others
who want to see the negro deported; 9TH
ers want to see him colonized; others want
to see him eXterminated; others want to
see him reduced to a state of peona &c;
others want to see him set back direct
into slavery. The latter is the widely
published wish of the Rev. Henry Frank
of New York. With all these humiliating
proposals constantly urged for the negro
all negro educators, ministers and WELL
wishers should quickly respond to the
idea of having the negro a once volunta-
rily start out to show what he can &C
complish on his own hook. with no thanks
to public schools nor the suffrage. His
work will be everywhere wanted; he will
get his pay; he can have his bank &C
count; he can rent or buy his land and
live peaceably upon it, and he wants
nothing more to make him happy and
prosperous citizen Will he do it?

eral parties from Richmond at the sale,
and for a time the bidding was spirited.
The price at which the property was
sold is considered very low. The farm has
been sold several times in the last few
years and year ago, when it was under

being the highest offer.

CUHRENT TOPICS.


The Times has tried to present fairly
both sides Of the Transvaal question and
it is with that spirit that
iho oe'e"'e we reproduce the follow
OF the boers. ing extract from a letter
to the New York Evening Post from its
special South African correspondent, Mr.
Albert G. Robertson. He says that in

for such sweeping charges as have been
so widely circulated concerning the do
nestle and social depravity of the Boer
people, nor for the intolerance and cor
ruption of the Boer Government. Nor
does it speak we'll for the Righteousness
of Englands cause that she should find
it SO necessary to base her struggle with
these people upon such unprOven charges.
1t is wholly easy to accept, from this
standpoint, perhaps from any standpoint
of reason based upon credltable testl-
mony the Boer argument that the pres
ent war is but the outcome of political
and financial schemes, foStered by few,
Of which the unsuccessful Jameson RAID

that Cecil Rhodes and those whom he
controls have sought, and still seek, to

threat made at that time, to secure by
constitutional measures that which had
not been gained by force of arms
The New York Times of Sunday prints
some interesting interviews with railroad
presidents as to the out
views VI "o" look for business. They
roao rresiueHis admit the reaction in
business, and they seem to think that
there will be falling off in railroad earn
ings as compared with the enormous
earnings Of the past two years. But
they say that this is quite natural. as
these increases could not go on forever,
and they see nothing alarming in the
outlook.
Mr. c. P. Huntington, Of the Southern
Pacific, said:
Il do not look for bad year, but, Of
course, it is not reasonable to expect that
good times can always continue. We
have had three years Of prosperity, and
a reaction is due-in fact, I suppose, IS
already here. Business is likely to stay
dull and irregular until after election.
In fact. 1 never knew Presidential year
and l can remember as far back as sew
enty years ago-when there wasn't more
or less dullness and stagnation. And
this will probably be especially true this
year after such generally prosperous
times There is no reason, however, for
any one to be alarmed if earnings should
fall off, as they inevitably will. The
country is sound and safe enough
President Fink, of the Norfolk and
Western, said:
1--WE have begun to note a slight falling
off in our general merchandise business,
and it is not improbable that the falling
off will continue for some time. Mer-
chants and others at the high tide of
prosperity bought altogether too much
and they naturally want to get rid of this

merchandise freight is smaller. l think,
however, we will see general business
good throughout the country, ana that
while railway earnings will fall off the
decreases will not be seriously felt by the
roads,"
