LIBERAL FORCES
 CAPTURE TAMUCO
TAKE 600 PRISONERS AND CAP. TURF FIVE OR SIX CANNON, MANY RIFLES AND A SMALL SHIP.

Washington, November 8.-The state de- partment is in receipt of dispatch dated October 2S, from the United States con sul-general at Panama, reporting that the Liberal forces have captured the town of Tamuco, south of Panama, about 800 miles. They took 400 to 600 soldiers pris- oners and captured five or six cannon. many rifles, a quantity of ammunition and one small ship the Gaitan.
 These reports are important as throw ing light on the political conditions there rather than as conveying news of war like movements. They are as follows: United States Ship Iowa, Panama.
 Colombia, October 2S, 1901:
 "Sir-I have the honor to report that all is quiet and peaceful in and about Panama. The activities reported in my letter of last week on the part of in- surgents and government forces quickly subsided, and nothing whatever came of 1t.
 There are no insurgent troops in the near neighborhood of Panama City. The report that they had left Chorrera is not believed now. In a word, the condition of dISlrS lh Fdndiud IS noi hioi. oihoSo' near the Ecuadorean border, has fallen into the hands of the insurgents.
 During the week the Gillian cruiser Mistro Zentero arrived in Panama road with an envoy extraordinary on board accredited to Ecuador and the Central American Republic. They remained two days and then sailed for Costa Rica.
 "The French cruiser Protet remains the only man-of- war in the harbor besides the Iowa. The British gunboat Icarus is at Taboga. Very respectfully.
 THOMAS PERRY, Captain U. s. N.
 Commanding U. S. s. Iowa."
 The department has been informed as to the various ways by which the local authorities have raised funds, such as Experimenting all the duties from the Panama Railroad Company for six months to come, adding 20 per cent. and then doubling the custom duties on all articles and by levying war taxes or assessments upon all solvent Colombians. These measures If taken by the republic of Colombia and enforced throughout would perhaps be justifabe as war measures. But when associated with the discontent almost amounting to revolt amongst the soldiers because of no pay it looks as though the funds being raised are for some other purposes than sup pressing the revolution

VIOLATE MANY OF
 ANTITRUST LAWS
EVIDENCE ADDucED TO SHOW THAT THE RAILROADS PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE INTER- STATE COMMERCE LAWS.

Chicago, November S.-Evidence of fragrant violation of the interstate com merce and the antitrust laws by rail- roads east and west of Chicago. was adduced at todays session of the Inter- State Commerce Commission. Traffic managers of lines in the Central Freight Association and the Western Trunk line committee admitted that export rates on grain and grain products are constantly cut, and that officials of the roads meet at stated periods and agree upon rates which are then promulgated by the indi- vidual lines interested. The principal witness of the day was Traffic Manager Grammar of the Lake Shore road. In the opinion of the commission the condi- tion shown by the evidence is the strong est argument that could be adduced for the passage of bill by Congress, giv- ing the commission power to make rates. after thorough investigation upon com plaint, and also the power to punish violators of the commissions rulings.
 Traffic Manager Grammar. under ex- animation by Commissioner Prouty, ad- mitted that the export rates on grain and grain products were constantly cut that the tariffs were seldom maintained, that the export rates were alyas secret. that little grain had been moving as domestic grain, that an association existed, the members of which met at regular periods and in violation to the antitrust law agreed upon rates and percentages, and kept record of the same When asked why the roads did not publish their ex- port rates, the same as domestic rates, he replied that if they did the press of the country would charge that the railroads were favoring foreign countries and for eign markets at the expense of the home markets and home producers.
 It transpired during the investigation that the commission Is interested in the preparation of measure which is to be a modification of the Cullom bill, and which will be introduced at the next ses- sion of Congress. It has also asserted that the evidence taken by the commits sion here and in New York City will be given to Congress in the form of a report and petition for the remedial legis- lation sought.

President Roosevelt is Said to Have Surrendered to The
 RObber Barons. REDUCE INTERNAL REVENUE
Plan of the Ways and Means Commit. tee Seems to Be to Lessen Taxes on Beer Rather
 Than Necessities.
BY wATTERsoN sTEALEY.


 Washington. November s.-(speciaL)-- Conferences held at the White House today between the President and several members of the Ways and Means Com mittee seem to have established the fact that the President has surrendered to the robber barons and for at least the com ing session of Congress there will be no reduction of custom-house taxes which would enable the American consaEner to buy in many instances articles made in his own country as cheaply as they can be bought abroad.
 From the beginning of the present tariff controversy it has looked unrea- sonable to expect the Republican party ing it's campaign funds. The status of tariff tinkering" as manufacturing members of Congress call it. is therefore not surprising
 With the report that there is to be no tariff legislation comes the intima- ton that there may be reduction of in- ternal revenue taxes. What schedules are to be touched in order to yield to the popular feeling against the growing treasury surplus is not known, but 1t is reasonable to suppose that in general the articles closely effecting the individual will remain practically unchanged, while 1 the beer and other schedules able to stand ten times the tax now imposed | will get the benefit.
 l The President will say something in his message favorable to reciprocity, but ii is a foregone conclusion that every re- ciprocity treaty of importance will be beaten in the finance committee by tho coterie of New England protection sena- tors in full control there

It is believed that up to this point the missionaries themselves have been the only persons able to keep open the line of communication.

Organizing a s6,OOO,OOO Arms Company to CO-Op-

 Three Regiments.

Philadelphia, November s.-tSpecial)- General Joseph Wheeler has arrived in Philadelphia to take up a permanent home, having deserted the South for ever. He is organizing a six million dol lar arms company that will erect great factory. and possibly may operate in con- nection with the Champs ship yards.
 The company will manufacture weapons of a new invention. They are so deadly and of such radical depature from modern guns that experts believe they will revolutionize warfare on land and sea. Members of the United States ordnance bureau have conducted secret tests of the guns and assurances have been given that steps probably will be taken which will result in the entire army being re-equipped with the new weapons.
 General Wheeler says he could take one regiment armed with the new weapon and whip any three regiments using rifles of any other sort.

 The guns are a wonder. There is noth- ing like them. In fact they are revolu- tionary.n
 Admiral Dewey Sees Tests.
 At secret test held by government inspectors in Newport recently four ad- mirals. headed by Dewey. and five gen. erals watched the firing, and the organ izers Of the company say that the most prominent officers in both army and navy are interested in the new project.
 For several years, It has been current talk that the Cramps were desirous of go- ing into the manufacture of ordnance, or of having some factory near at hand that would operate with them in providing the equipment of war vessels, built by the firm. The attempted deal with the Wick Maxim Company caused much specu- lation in government circles here and abroad, and the news of new combine with a firm that has control of vastly improved weapon will doubles cause no end of excitement.
 s. N. McClean of Cleveland is the in ventor of the new weapon, and the fin- ished models represent twenty years of constant work. McClean's invention, in DEleI, IS one I0dL uIlllZeS tfe WdSle pOWeF of the gas generated by each discharge of gun in neutralizing all recoil, in re- fiecting the empty shell, and in reloading the rife The secret has been sought for years by all ordnance manufacturers, and the simple means employed by MT.

ELLMAN'S SECOND TRIAL.
AGAIN ARRAIGNED BEFORE
JUDGE GEORGE PURDY.
Commonwealth Had More Corrobor-
alton of Herring Than at
the Last Trial.

Jacob Gilman was again put on
trial yesterday before Judge George
Purdy, Of Honesdale, specially presid-
ing. on a charge of subornation of per-
jury. He was tried last week before
the same judge and convicted, but
al new trial was granted on the
ground that the commonwealth had
not presented sufficient proof of the
subornation on the part of Gilman.
1t will be remembered that Gilman
is charged with having suggested to
youth named Max Herring that he
could make money by swearing out
warrants against persons on fictitious
charges. Herring says he went to
| Ellman's home, at Priceburg, at his
request, and was there instructed in
the details of the scheme. AS a re-
suit he went before Justice of the
Peace Mason, of Blakely, and swore
| out warrant for the arrest of Daisy
Miller, of this city, on IA charge of
keeping a bawdy house and selling
| liquor without license, and before
Alderman John II. Howe and Alder
man J. w. Millett, of this city, where
he had warrants issued charging Nell
lie Blye, also of this city, with rob-
ing liquor without a license. Herring
did not know the women and had no
actual knowledge of any guilt upon
their part.
On the last trial, the case depended
| almost entirely in Herring's testi-
mony. but yesterday the common
wealth called John Shuminsky, who
was Herring's ccllmate in the county
| Jail. He testified To certain CONVERSE
! tions between Gilman and Herring
which be overheard and which tended
to corroborate Hcrrings story. Mr..
and Mrs. Smithberger, of Priccburg,
We're also called. They live At Price
burg and testified TO seeing Herring
at Ellman's place last September.
Gilman made general denial of the
| charges and called several relatives
to prove that Herring was not ut his
! home last September. Ile was repre-
| sentcd 10y Attorneys W. w. Baylor ana
| John J. Murphy. After the evidence
was in Mr.. Baylor asked the court to
| direct the jury 10 acquit the accused,
on the ground that the commonwealth
| mad failed to produce adequate corr
rohoration of Herring's story The re-
| quest was refused.
Nj. Murphy closed the case to the
| jury for the defendant and Assistant
| District Attorney Gramer for the
| commonwealth. The case was given
| TO the jury for consideration at AS
=. IN.
| Gilman was taken in charge by a
| deputy sheriff at the close of court
| yesterday and committed to the coun-
ty Jail to await the jury's verdict.

THE MIRACLES OF CHRIST.
A Masterly Sermon Delivered by DR.
A. 7. Pierson Last Night.

Rev. DR.. Arthur T. Pierson, Of New
York, conducted the third of his series
of evening meetings last night in the
Penn Avenue Baptist church. He told
of the lessons to be drawn from the
miracles of Christ as recorded in the
New Testament.
He dwelt especially upon the curing
of the man sick of the palsy; upon
the curing of the woman sick wi n
fever; of the casting out of devils, and
upon the curing of the blind man.
Palsy, he said, represented impotence
and inability. The sinner who is i'm
potent and who has the inability to
free himself from his sins should go
to Christ, as did the palsied man, and
receive strength and power to work
for and with God.
Fever represents the lusts OF the
body and vindictive temper, the doc
tor said. Even as Christ took hold of
the hand of the woman and cooled her
body" said he, 80 when He touches
the sinner. full of the fever of sin, will
he become cool, quiet and peaceful"
The blind man, whom Christ healed.
represents the blind of soul who have
dullness of spiritual vision which
prevents them from seeing the real
nature of their sins, or the grace and
the beauty and the love Of God. This
all vanishes when Christ touches their
eyes, said the doctor.
IAN the miracles recorded in the
New Testament" said he, besides re-
vealing Christ's power, reveal His be-
nevolence, compassion and sympathy.
They seek to prove not that He was a
gigantic being, capable of overcoming
all obstacles in His way. but that He
had love for all humanity"
DR.. Pierson will speak this after
noon at 3.45 o'clock in the Young Wo-
mems Christian association rooms, and
tonight in the Second Presbyterian
church.
