Ihe COIOmbtans Borrowing Large
Amounts of Unnecessary Trouble.
Washington, Nov. 29.-Some of the re-
ports reaching here show that there is
apprehension on the part of some of the
Colombians on the isthmus, including men
of considerable influence as ia the stay of
the American marines. 1t has come to
the knowledge Of officials here that MANY
wild rumors have been circulated on the
isthmus, some Of them going to the extent
OF asserting that the United States forces
having landed, would not be withdrawn
Thes ereports have led to inquiries ne
tween Panama and Washington. bringing
out responses that the rumored American
occupation was wholly imaginary and that
the most positive and definite assurances
had bene given that Immediately upon the
fulfillment of this governments obligation
to keep open the traffic, our forces would
be debarked and all American authority
would be terminated. This purpose of the
authorities here has been made known to
those in influence on the isthmus and has
served to allay the fears caused by re-
ports of American occupation.

BUT ONE MORE CASE
Only the Duluth & Iron Range Grant
(Remains.


Settlement of the Great Northern land
grant to-day leaves only one case in the
hands of State Auditor Dunn. This is the
grant of the Duluth & Iron Range, which
lies in St. Louis, Lake and Cook counties.
The grant was determined by decree Of
United States court, issued by
Judge Lochren. Owing to a mistake of
the attorneys on both sides, the decree in
cluded about 10000 acres of state institu-
tion and state school lands, which the
state has no right to deed away.
The courts decree has been accepted an
final, but the state auditor has been try
ing to adjust the matter with the railroad
company, SO as to secure the school land,
some Of which has valuable ore deposits.
His request will be considered to-mor-
row at a meeting of the board of directors
in Duluth. Mr.. Dunn hopes for favorable
action, which will enable him to go out Of
the land grant business.

FREIGHT TRAFFIC.

New Haven, April 9 President Hall of the N. Y, N. H. and H. K. F. Go, is quoted as saying that the ar rangement for. freight traffic with the New York Central, heretofore an- nounced, is in fact part of a general policy of the company to be pursued towards all connecting western roads. Under the plan to be now put into op- eration the New Haven road will use the freight originating at it's non-com- petitive points to demand in return, reciprocity from the outside lines on freight consigned to the New Haven's competitive points. The New Haven road will exchange it's freight with these connecting lines in proportion as it receives eastward business from them in return and will use it's terri torrial powers over freight to the ut most of it's ability. Vice-President Merrill says that under the new ar raIlgement with the New York Central the New Haven road hopes to carry practically all the coal heretofore going to Jersey City from the coal regions tapped by the New York Gen. tral lines. As heretofore stated, the exchange will be made at Newburg. N. Y, for the Highland division of the New Haven road and will give to both the New Haven and the New York Central companies long haul.

FEMALE CHINESE SLAVES.
The Attorney General at Washington
 Takes a Hand. in the Matter.


 San Francisco, April 22.-The Chi nese quarter of this city is very much perturbed by an effort by the federal authorities, to suppress the traffic in female Chinese slaves United States Marshal Shine with squad of assist ants, made sudden descent on the brothels and arrested thirty-four ter rified and shrieking women. Sixteen who produced certificates were re leased. The remaining eighteen are held in custody. It is estimated that at least eighty inmates of the house on Baker street and Sullivan alley es- capped through alleys and over roofs. The raid was the immediate result of an order from the attorney-general at Washington to the district attorney di- recting him to do all in his power to suppress the traffic in female Chinese slaves.
 The women prisoners will be taken before the federal courts to determine whether they have a legal right to re- main in this country and if they are held in bondage as the chattels of mas ters. The power of the authorities will stop at this point, but the officials are confident that the deportation of a number of slave girls will dampen%the ardor of the slave dealers, and espe- cfally destroy the traffic.

BOARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Visited the Scene of the Copper Theff
 Last Night.

Y
 The board of safety, according to q vote passed at it's meeting held Friday evening, visited the scene of the cop. per mystery on the Meriden road last evening. The conditions of the wealth. CT were almost exactly similar to those that prevailed on the night that tho copper disappeared. The party left the city at o'clock accompanied by the chief of police and City Sheriff Me-. Donald and Mayor KilduIf. Rain wab slightly falling and the darkness was intense after leaving the city limits. The brook near where the copper was found and disappeared from was as noisy with the flood as it was gu the memorable night of the mystery. A better night could not have presented itself. The ground was first inspected and then two members of the board splaced themselves behind tree at the spot where Officers Brearton and ISe-' han said they stood, while two others and the city sheriff passed along theE road. The whole drama as told bY the respective officers in their testi- mony at the examination last Friday night was gone through. Those who represented the officers on guard said they could not see the others passing along the road and it would he theH easiest thing in the world for anyone { to remove the copper under fine cir-' cumstances. The board. or some of it's members, admit sfoH
 that one serious mistake was made at the examinatoin by allowing the officers to testify in the presence 0f' each other. Such scene as that. which took place between the chief and one of the officers would have been averted and there wouId be poS opportunities for leaving bad feeling

STORM IN THE STATE.
Heaviest Rain in Years-Engine
 Through Trestle at Winsted.

New Haven, April 22-The heavy rainstorm of Saturday night and Sun day, which raised all the rivers and lakes of the state to freshet pitch, caused far less property damage than the indcatoins at midnight last night gave reason to expect. At that hour the flood in most sections reached it's height and began to subside, though there still remained the danger that abutments of bridges would be under mined by the torrents that poured around them Morning reports from different parts of the state, however, show that these fears were happily not realized, and except in the northwest ern section, very little damage result ed. In that part of the state, Winsted was the worst sufferer by the storm, though even here most of the damage was due to the flooding of streets and cellars.
 The rainfall as recorded by. the weather bureau here was the heaviest since July, 1897, for the twenty hours from 10 o'clock Saturday evening to o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Crossing and Report Later.
 The railroad commissioners to-dav| gave hearing to the petitioners for the removal of the railroad crossing on Porter street or for the erection of gates at that place.

Aldermen D. J. Mahaney, Robert Walker and k. N Blakeslee, William D. Richardson ~and William Brickel testified to the increase of traffic af' the point in question; that it is short cut for children going to and from school and is also q short cut to Sr Patrick's church from n certain Seo- ton of the district Several accidents that came very near being quite seri- Ous have: occurred there and in genx eral way the place is nuisance. All this was testified to.
 The railroad commissioners s6en1ed to be Of the opinion that it was agreed between the city and the railroad that by placing gates at the Highland di- vision crossing on West Main street and a bell at the crossing in dispute. would allay all cause for complaint
 MeSSrS Aahaney and Walker stated that traffic has increased about 20 per cent in that district since 1899; others thought the increase was about 90 per cent. Alderman Walker also stated that frequently the bell does not ring and T train is upon pedestrian before lie has any expectation of one coming. No later than last Saturday the bell failed to respond. The commissioners will look over the place and report later, perhaps i'll q few months, to City Attorney Kellogg.

HB:L H|lD FRIDAY SESSIONS
Legislators Will Work Overtime
 From Now On
Important Railroad Matters Will be Finished This Week-The Anti Telephone Bill Will Also Claim Some Attenion- Committee Hearings Are Now Nearly all Finished.


 Hartford, April 22-There will prob ably be session of the legislature OH Friday of this week and from then on until the end of the session. The com- nlittees have now all but finished their hearings and the chairmen think that to give up any more Fridays to the hearings will be only to delay the close of the session. A meeting of the chairmen is called for tomorrow af- ternoon to decide the matter, and the decision vii undoubtedly be to com mence Friday sessions this week.
 Thursday afternoon the arguments on the Tariffyille petition will be heard before. the railroad committees and io- mof1rlw afternoon will be hpar,. the arguments on the extension from New Haven to Derby. the Meriden South ington and Co1npounce and the Chesh- ire matter. All of these arguments will attract large audiences and will be full of interesting matter. The raiI- road committee is now nearly through with its work and will begin to report to tie two houses in the near future. It is understood that the Connecticut Nvf stern road desires the railroad com mittee to visit East Granby before tine arguments are heard, but the commit tee has come to no decision in the mat ter It is hardly probable that they will do this, as the committee has al ready refused to go to New Haven to hear the New Haven people on the Derby extension.
 Tie antiVtelephone bill will probably come up in the house for discussion this week if the members who are pushing the bill. The house is liaDle to do something interesting on the telephone matter if it gets warmed up by debate

WENT THROUGH TREsTLE.

Winsted, April 22.-An engine at- tached to q freight train on the Cen tral New England railroad, which was leaving here this morning for New Hartford, where several landslidcs ana washouts occurred yesterday, plunged through a trestle in the West Winsted yard and went into a raceway leading to the factory of T. c. Richards & Sons, hardware manufacturers. The engineer, Timothy Farrell, Fireman Harry Pearson, and William Ahearn, the watchman, who were in the cap, escaped by jumping. A car containing laborers was derailed and the occu- pants fled in terror, none of them re- ceiving any injury. The accident was caused by the high water in the race way undermining the trestle work foundations.
 The water in Highland lake, which it was feared yesterday would over flow and spread destruction through the town, is now slowly receding and it is believed that the danger is over. All night watchmen kept guard by the lake. and residents of many streets in the lower part of the town were noti- fled to flee instantly from their homes on hearing an alarm sounded by the fire bell. Most of the people remained up all night, only those living on high ground venturing to seek their beds.
 The Hurlbut dam, which was across the stream leading from Highland lake, gave way during the night, and the Richards hardware factory and other buildings deluged by tne water which was released. The stream now runs through the street ten feet deep.
