Two SENATORS. - Representative
Jones, of Virginia, tells this story on his
father: Directly after the war, Jones,
senior, was sent to the state senate.
An old slave who had belonged to him
was elected to the senate. The two
drew adjoining seats. Senator Jones
was very courteous, and in addressing
his former slave always called him
senator.
The old Negro stood it for sometime
and finally said:
"Massa William, don't like dis SEN
ator business. KANT I come down to
yo' house and visit that cook Of yourn?
I suhtinly would like permission to WIS.,
it yo' kitchen"
The request was granted, and while
Senator Jones was in his library the
other senator was down in the kitchen
visiting the cook.-New York World

General Adams Defeat at Chorrera Is Re
ported to Have Been Disastrous.

General Alban is back again in Panama
He returned from Cho-rera on the Colom-
bian gunboat Boyaca. 1t is now gener-
ally believed that the Government troops
suffered a serious repulse near Chorrera
According to reliable advices the repulse
was attended by heavy losses to the Gov
ernment force. General Alban has not
given out any account 4 the fighting, AMI
that fact is taken as Confirmation of the
story of a revolutionary victory. The best
insurgent advices are that two schooners
which conveyed part Of Adams force
grounded near Chorrera and that the rev.
olutionists fired upon the vessels
Several boats crews from the Boyac1
started to go to the assistance of the
grounded schooners. A terrible fire was
directed upon the crews, causing many
casualties. The boats then returned to
the Boyaca.

ROBEMAKERS BUSY
FOR THE CORONATION
Earl Marshal Makes Display Of the
Crimson Velvet That Is
Reouired

LONDON, Nov 23.-Active preparations
are on foot for the coronation of King
Edward. The Duke of Norfolk, heredi-
tary Earl Marshal and Premier Duke and
Earl, this morning summoned well-known
London costume makers to Norfolk
House, where, spread out on wicker
frames, were specimens of the robes to
be worn by the peers and peeresses at
the next years great function.
This inspection, which was superintend-
ed by the Duke, was to enable the cos
tuners to get the exact tint of the Grim
son velvet, the position of the Minerver
and ermine and other details for the all
important making of the robes, on which
work will now be started in earnest.
The British Museum has been besieged
by those who are searching the records
for notes of the dresses and regulations
of previous coronations.
Queen Alexandra has ordered from
Delhi quantity Of the finest embroidery,
for which the former capital of India Is
so famous, which will adorn her Majesty s
robes at the coronation ceremonies. This
action, which has produced the greatest
satisfaction in India, is due to the good
offices of the Vicereine. who. when in
England recently, showed the Queen some
priceless Delhi embroidery and so stimu-
lated royal interest as to cause the pres
ent order to be given.

by the authorities scraping together few

Survivors Go to the CityA
Just how many men General AIban has

The United States gunboat Concord has
arrived at Panama. The gunboat Mari

now two United States warships on either

Suchet are now in port.
The Suchet reports that the Colombian
warship General Pinzon, which hastily de-
parted from this port on the evening of
the capture by insurgents, was at Car
