CHILE Is MEDIATOR,
Colombia and Venezuela Accept Her
Good Offices.

New York, Nov ia Herald spe-
cial from Bogota, Colombia says:
The Colombian government has ac-
cepted the proffered mediation of
Chile to settle the troubles between
this republic and Venezuela
On behalf of his government, Senior
Herboso, the Chilean minister at Bogo-
ia, made the offer, and cabled Presi-
dent Castro the same offer.
Acting President Marroquin has re-
piled to the resolution of the Pan
American congress, which appealed to
Colombia to have a peaceful settle
ment of the difficulties with Castro's
government, saying that Colombia de-
sires an amicable settlement.
The Colombia government prefers
to be on cordial terms with Venezuela,
and its grievance are entirely against
tastro's government.
Venezuela has accepted the media
tion of Chile, but Castro replied to the
Chilean minister at 3ogota that his ac-
ceptance is based ION the condition
that Colombia gives full powers, and
does not forget my answer to the con-
gress at Mexico, stipulating repara-
tion, the payment of damages and
losses caused by invasions."

CALL 1T DOUBLE TAXATION.
Illinois Concerns Object to Assess.
ment Of Capital Stock.

Springfield, Ills, Nov. ia com.
mittee consisting of rs members of the
Illinois Manufacturers association,
went before the state board of equal
ization during the morning to petition
regarding the assessment of capital
stock of corporations. Martin B. Mad
den Of Chicago was spokesman and
said that the association was ready to
meet a just share of the burdens i'm
posed upon taxpayers, but if capital
stock is to be assessed In addition to
tangible property, double assessment
is imposed which, perhaps, will make
it necessary for members of the asso-
citation to reduce the number of their
employees, which is now 250,000 men.
Mr.. Madden also said that the law of
1872 gave manufacturers the assurr
ance that no unjust taxation would be
imposed on them and that it had had a
tendency to bring many Of them to
this state. He also claims that if cap
ital stock is assessed, that manufacture
ers will not invest capital in the state.

READY FOR THE FIGHT.
Both Jeffries and Rubin Are Confident
of Winnjnu

San Francisco, Nov. 13.-Interest In
the coming contest for the heavy
weight championship of the world con-
tinues to increase. Both Jeffries and
Rubin have practically completed
their training and are fit to put up the
fight of their lives. In an interview
Jeffries said:
"The gong can ring any minute fol
me now and I will be ready. No fighter
was ever in better condition and.
though I am confident of success now,
[ am not going against an easy game
I have a whole lot of respect for Ruh-
Inns fighting ability. but I know I can
beat him. I will give any kind of a
fight he wants. He can rush the game
or he can fight at long range"
Rubin and his manager, Billy Mad.
den, are just as confident of victory as
Jeffries. Madden figures that his pro-
tege is faster than the champion. "He
is a glutton for punishment" he said,
He is strong, perhaps not as strong
as his opponent. but he has a clever
defense. He is as good a ring general
and he cam put in blows with his right
or his left with equal facility"

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, Nov. 13.-Wheat
opened fractionally higher than yester-
days close. Europe showed steady
tone compared with our decline yester-
day. There is nothing weak in the
cash position of wheat at home or
abroad. All the professionals, how
ever, are ranged on the bear side and
are working UP the annual scare over
December liquidation. They are help
ing it along by selling enormous guam
titles of wheat for short account. This
is the inevitable experience of
holders who as delivery day approaches
begin to run away from the cash ar
ticle. This factor Is likely to give
dragging market until December con-
tracts are about liquidated. The good
export business today checked the de-
cline and caused "a midsession rally of
hc, but liquidation again carried the
price down to low figures where it be-
came dull and thereafter fluctuations
narrow, closing somewhat firmer. .
Corn was very weak early. Liquid
alton and short selling was in full
sway, when Jim Patten appeared in
the pit as a heavy buyer and turned.
the price UP 1 cent in hurry. The
weak session in wheat had depress-
ing effect, but corn closed firm at
nearly top figures for the day. New
York City was again in the Chicago
market for cash corn; 100000 bushels
was taken today to ship out in cars.
Oats were strong. Patten bought
heavily, taking 100000 bushels of May
oats in one lot at 40 5-sc. There is
no question but what he has absolute
control of the market and can set
price to suit himself.
Provisions dull and easy.
There was considerable liquidation
in the New York stock market today
ON account of the heavy shipments Of
gold 81 ,25O, 900 going to Paris on to-
morrow's steamers. Prices held
steady, however, some small gains and
losses being recorded, and we will prob
ably see a marked advance in most of
the standard railroad shares soon.
Reading common is said to be likely
to have a sharp advance as the October
earnings are reported to be enormous.

Chicago Sends Newspapermen
to Jail.
Writers of Objectionable Matter are
Sentenced by Judge Hanecy
for Contempt.
Writ of Habeas Corpus Will Probab
ly be Sued Out to Obtain their
Release,

Chicago, Nov. 13.-On a charge of
contempt of court Judge Hanecy has
sentenced Andrew M. Lawrence, man
aging editor of Hearst's Chicago
American, to 40 days in the county
Jail. The sentence of H. S. Garfield,
who wrote the article Objectionable to
the court, was fixed at 80 days in jail
The cases against S. S. Karvalho, fl
nancial, manager of the paper, and
John C. Hammond, assistant city ed
itor, were dismissed. Judge Hanecy
declared that the cases against W. R.
Hearst, majority stockholder of the
paper, Homer Davenport, cartoonist,
and Glare Briggs, also a cartoonist,
would stand until such time as these

Former Governor Altgeld, one of
counsel for the respondents, entered
a formal exception to the decision.
"This case, may say" the court re-
marked, els not appealable. You may
file bill Of exceptions for a writ of
error, however. I am willing to delay
the serving of papers on Mr.. Lawrence
and Mr.. Garfield till you have drawn
your bin."
Thankful for Unexpected Favors.
1--WE do not feel that we have any
favors coming from this court" Mr.
Altgeld answered, 1--WE are much
obliged" So
The article in The American upon
which the proceedings in contempt
were based was a criticism of the
courts decision on. an application for
the forfeiture of the charter of the
Peoples Gas Light and Coke COM
pany. ....
Judge Hanecy said if the matter pub
1ished were allowed to go unnoticed
by the court it paved the way for other
attacks, and that the Judiciary, If not
held in respect, would fall, with all
democratic government. The article,
the court declared, was not merely an
attack on the people and on the court,
but a bold threat to every other
court. It should, therefore, not go un-
punished.
A few minutes after the rendering
of the decision and the imposition of
the sentences as to Lawrence and Can
field, Judge Dunno, upon application,
issued writ of habeas corpus as to
them, returnable Immediately.
