ALL QUIET AT COLON.
The Liberals Are Displaying Great
Moderation.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The secre-
tary of the navy has received the fol-
lowing cablegram from Capt. Perry,
commanding the battleship Iowa,
dated Panama, Thursday:
Everything quiet. No further interfer-
ence since notification. Transit and tele-
graphic communication open. Colon In
possession of liberals and quiet"
Trains Moving Unmolested.
The following cablegram was re-
ceived at the state department Thurs
day from Consul General Gudger,
dated Panama, Thursday:
Everything quiet. Communication re-
stored and trains moving unmolested."
Liberals show Moderation.
Colon, Colombia, Nov. 22.-The city
of Colon was perfectly quiet all
Wednesday and Wednesday night. 1t
Is claimed in behalf of the liberals
that there has been no unseemly be-
haVior. Foreigners are being respect
ed and protected and transit across
the isthmus is uninterrupted.
The post office, prefecture, all the
other government Offices and nearly
all the commercial houses were closed
Wednesday.
Col Barrera, commander of the
liberal forces, asserts that he has
notified the district representative of
the department of the interior and
other former officials of the govern
ment that he has appointed COM
mission to take over their offices,
formally. Thursday. Senior Espriella,
a prominent lawyer and counsel for
the Panama railroad, is a member of
the commission.
Great interest is felt in official cir
Giles here as to the outcome of the
Chorrera expedition, for it is realized
that the result of the engagement at
that point will be decisive in giving
either the conservative or the liberal
element control of the isthmus. Sec
reary Long has not sent any addi-
tional instructions to the command
ers of the Iowa and the Machias, be-
ieving that too full directions Oft
times hamper instead of facilitate in
such a situation as now exists on the
isthmus, preferring TO trust to the
officers own judgment in suiting
their actions to the prime purposes of
keeping traffic free and American in
terests fully protected. In a few days
the gunboat Concord will have
reached Panama to relieve the Iowa,

will be at Colon to take the place Of

The feeling of the community can
not be regarded as antagonistic to
liberalism. The existing conditions
have created no panic, but it is recog-
nized that the fact that the liberals
hold Colon while the conservatives
are in possession of Panama creates
4 state Of affairs which cannot posi-
bly, continue.
Col. Barrera admits that the gov
erument troops here numbered a lit
tie less than 1870 men. 1t WAS at first
reported that 70 or more men had
been killed and about 80 wound
ed, but the bodies of more dead men
have since been discovered.
The inspector Of customs escaped
on an outgoing steamer.
Several prisoners who were cap
tured by the liberals have since been
released.
Gen. Zaldana commands 200 liberal
troops at Gatun railroad station,
about six miles from Colon.
The liberals claim to be in posses
sion of all the railroad stations be-
tween Colon and Las Cascades, which
is nearer to Panama than to Colon.
Both sides used Remingtons and
Mausers. The former causes the
higher death rate. A liberal lieuten-

No immediate attack on Panama is
contemplated. Col. Barrera is await
ing he arrival at Colon of the liberal
chief, Domingo Diaz, who is expected
in day or two. When Diaz reaches
this city definite plans will be formu-
lated.
Gen. Sarria commands the govern
ment forces at Panama.
Gen. Patino, the original COM
mander of the liberal force which cap
tured Colon, is said to have intended
to capture the Colombian gunboat
General Pinzon in person, and some
say that the general was drowned in
an effort to reach her in boat which
capsized. Col. Barrera, however,
de les this, but theirs is no doubt that
the capture of the General Pinzon
was contemplated.
The United States gunboat Machias,
1t is understood, will not interfere
with any of the fighting, but will
protect the railroad and foreign in
terests.
The treasury safe was opened
Thursday afternoon in the presence

BORING FOR STEAM.
Iopc to Find 1t Two Miles Below the
Enrth's Surface.

The deepest we'll in the world will
soon be completed near Pittsburgh, Pa.
1t is now more than one mile deep, and
when it is finished it may reach two
miles into the earth. 1t is beng bored
in the interest of science. The object in
penetrating so deeply is to determine
lust what the interior of the human
footstool is like. From a commercial
point of view the well was success
long ago. A comparatively few feet
below the surface both gas and oil were
struck in paying quantities, but the
company owning the plant determined
to dedicate it to science, and invited
Prof. William Hallock, of Columbia col
lege, to carry on a series of temperature
Investigations as the hole is carried
deeper and deeper into the earth. The
result of these Investigations is very
interesting, and it is the opinion of sew
eral well-known scientists that the ul-
innate result of the boring will prove to
be of Widespread economic as well as of
scientific value. Most significant of all
the facts so far ascertained is that the
well grows steadily hotter as its depth
increases.
1t is the intention of the company to
continue the boring process until some
thing entirely new and original is de-
veloped. This may seem a crude way Of
putting the statement, but it has long
been theory among well men that if
it is possible to go deep enough some
rev geologic condition or economic fea-
ture would be found to exist. At the
very lead they claim natural steam
would be encountered, or the we'll walls
would finally become so hot that water
could be pumped down cold andpumped
up in the form of steam, and thus the
natural power of the future be obtained.
At any rate there material for much
speculation, and Inc interest becomes
greater in incTeas' ratio as che drill
descends and a st-ltling event is eX-
pected to happen almost any day One
remarkable feature of the well is that
the gas found near the surface is now
used to operate the powerful engines
which do the drilling. Thus the natural
power already issuing from the well is
utilized for the purpose of deepening
it.-WaShington Star.

LINCOLN'S BIRTHPLACE.
A Rude Log Cabin In the Wilds OF
Kentucky.

Abraham Lincoln, our great war Tresi-
dent, was born il Larue county, Ken
lucky, in a rude little log cabin. This
cabin has recently been restored, and,
so far as possible, made exactly rs it
was So years ago, when Little baby
boy was born to Thomas AID Nancy
Lincoln, or "Linkhorn," rs tie lAme
was then spelled-humLle "sct .lers,"
who had moved to the ncighborhood
from Washington county four years be-
fore.
The few living people who rercember
Thomas Lincoln, the father, say that he
was a rather improvident man, not
working long at any one thing. lie was
hard worker. but was poor manager;
and the little family was often without
more than the simplest reccs-cries Of
life. Thomas Lincoln cleared a few
acres around his cabin, ard ia ised
small crop of corn and grain. Then he
became carpenter and tinker, work.
ing at such odd jobs as he coud find
among the pioneer neighbors. lie was
away at work at the time Abraham was
born.
The neighbors heard that Mrs. Lin
coin was in the cabin all alone with the
little baby, and had little to eat except
corn and potatoes. They at once Wis
tied the Lincoln cabin, taking such deli
cacies as their houses afforded. The IA
Their returned in a few days; and the
baby was named Abraham Lincoln,
after his grandfather, who had been
killed by the Indians when Thomas Lin
coin was little boy.-George II. Yeno-

The conditions affecting the tenn
perature of the body other than those
due to physiological conditions are very
numerous. First and most obvious is
the temperature of the surrounding at
mosphere. 1t is well-estabished fact
that the average temperature of the air
of 81 degrees Fahrenheit is best
adapted to the public health, for at that
temperature the decomposition of an
imal and vegetable matter is slight and
normal temperature is most easily
maintained. Every degree of tenn
perature above or below that point re-
quires more or less effort of the heat
regulating power to maintain the prop
or equilibrium. Even more potent in
elevating the bodily temperature is the
introduction into the blood. whether by
respiration or by direct injection. of
putrid fluids and the gases of decom-
posing matters. If this injection is re
peated at short intervals, death will
occur with high temperature.--Pop-

There Is Seldom Any Reason for EN-
pIoxing Foreign Mords.

pIoying Foreign Words.
Is there any reason for using for
eign language when. the idea can be ex-
pressed with equal clearness, brevity,
and force in our own Anglo-Saxon? Is
there any sense in saying that man
has $1,000 per annum when we mean
81 900 year? Why should we say that
the people of the United States drink
on an average every year so many gal
Ions of distilled spirits per capita when
we mean so many gallons each, or, we
may say, head-we may add that the
words per capita are a solecism, mean
ing by heads. If we are to use Latin in
the premises, we should consult cor
rectness and say per caput.
What earthly reason for calling a
popular hymn and tune book "Laudes
Dominic" 1t sometimes happens that
there are ideas conveyed by foreign
word which hardly have an equivalent
in English. In these cases it is perhaps
permissible to borrow the foreign word
or phrase. For example, we possibly
have no single word which is the equiva-
lent of the French persiflage. That,
dictionaries and may be considered an
English word of French parentage.
But does mauvis homie express any
thing not conveyed by false shame?
And is sang froid anything more than
cool blood?
The use of foreign words and SEN
fences is peculiarly inappropriate in
inscriptions which are to be read by the
plain people. When the friends of the
departed DIR. Goldsmith appended their
signatures to a round robin begging
that the epitaph upon the poet might
be in English, and when the car of
literature, with wonted absolutism,
said: "An English inscription would be
a disgrace to Westminster abbey" he
was wrong, as positive people are very
apt to be. Oftbe millions who have read
with delight 1.-THE Traveller" and the
Deserted Village" and "The Vicar of
Wakefield" how small fraction of one
per cent. are those who know aught of
any language but English?
When the fathers and mothers, the
sisters and sons of the men who died
in the war for liberty and union read,
with dimmed eyes, upon the monument
erected by grateful countrymen the
story of the virtues and sufferings of
their heroes, it is hard that they should
be confronted by a Latin sentence which
reminds them of their ignorance of
classic tongues. 1t is possibly well
enough to have a Latin or Greek in
scription in Memorial hall of Harvard
university, for those who read ii can
look as if they understood it, but what
reason for putting over the memorial
of Col. Shaw and his black soldiers the
Latin motto of the Cincinnati. which
mocks his surviving comrades and sons
of those who fell at Fort Wagner with
their enforced illiteracy? AS if to add
to the infelicity of the situation,
scholars tell us that the inscription is
not even good Latin. "Reliquerunt
Omnia conservare republican" should
be ut conservarent republican" The
neighboring monument on the common,
erected by the state of Massachusetts,
to the heroes OF the war, bears, fittingly,
an inscription that is English through
out.-Philadelphia Press.

FLOODED LUND'S CELLAR.
Overflow of Water From Northern Pacific Tank
Destroy over 5000 Cigars

At an early hour Monday morning the
cellar under Thomas Lund's saloon was
flooded on account of an overflow from
the Northern Pacific watering tank and
over 5000 fine cigars were damaged.
The overflow was caused by fireman
OF a train who permitted the water to
run for some time after the tender tank
was filled. The water flowed across the
street in a veritable flood and into the
cellar entrance OF the saloon. In a
short time about foot Of water covered
the floor OF the basement and all the
goods that set low were submerged. \
big consignment of cigars of the $50 a
thousand grade was soaked and conse-
quently spoiled. The loss is estimated
at $3S4.60 by Mr. Lund, who has already
called on the railway company to make
good the loss This is the fifth time the
same thing has occurred, but heretofore
a small amount of water entered the
cellar.
