COMMENT ON THE SITUATION.
News of Insurrectionary Movements is Re-
ceived at Washington.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug g9.-The situation in
Colombia and Venezuela continued to oc-
cupy much of the attention of officials
here today and while it was not felt
that affairs had reached a serious aspect,
yet, it was appreciated that both the
official and unofficial advices Indicate a
condition of affairs which might mean
war between Colombia and Venezuela,
complicated by revolutionary outbreaks in
both countries.
During the day the State Department
received a rather lengthy mail communi-
cation from Consul General Gudger, at
Panama, and though this was dated near
ly month ago, il told of the landing of
a revolutionary expedition and expressed
the current belief held at Panama, that
this would be followed by other expedi-
tions. The Department also received a
letter from j. Edward Simmons, of New
York, President of the Panama Rail-
road, confirming his communication of
yesterday, relative to the trouble on the
Isthmus, and stating that the Supern
tendent of the road had advised him as
TO the depredatfons of an insurgent band
which did not number. however. much
over 80 men.
The more serious aspect of the matter
was presented in the press dispatches
from Willemstad, stating that the CO.
fombians had again invaded Venezuela.
There was no official confirmation as
10 this, but if it proves correct, there
seems little chance of avoiding an open
conflict between these two countries, as
such an invasion by Colombia would in
itself, be an act of war But the au
thorities here prefer to take a conserva-
tive view of the situation until official
advices are in hand. When inquiry was
made as to why our officials at Bogota
and elsewhere did not send full informa
tion it was stated that these officials
are not there to communicate news,
but only to advise this Government as a
preliminary to any official action which
might become necessary.
At the Navy Department, no further
steps were taken toward sending ships
to the Isthmus. 1t was definitely de-
cided however, to send the battleShip
Wisconsin down to San Diego, Cal, in
case the desirability of that move be-
came evident by the time she reached
San Francisco, and the State Department
wos so advised. There was some COM
ment also as to the possibility of sending
down some of the ships of the North
Atlantic Squadron, but Acting Secretary
Hackett treated these suggestions as
rather premature. There is no doubt
however, that an ample force will be
sent from the squadron if its. presence
seems desirable

ing, and systematic opposition OF the COM
pany had become union during the year.
Even the first demand for the scale
to be applied generally throughout the
jurisdiction of the company was COM
mendable for the obvious reason that an
employer should be willing to pay a uni
form wage to men who perform like work;
but realizing that a demand for those
whom it did not fully represent, the
Amalgamated Association modified its de-
mand to the extent already stated.
1T appears that the company took the
position it did with an avowal that 1T
would not allow the extension OF the
Union. to non -unionsts. Such a position
and avowal are tantamount to declaring
that Notwithstanding the growth of the
craft, the organization had reached
status beyond which it could not extend
Now, anyone at all familiar with in
dustrial development and economic or
ganization are equally aware that status
is ever possible. Organized labor ad-
vances or recedes, never stands still. 1t
therefore follows that if the trust, by its
great wealth can prevent the extension
and growth of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton, it encompasses it's diSintegration
and destruction. The only power then
standing between the trust and workers
as a protector are the tender mercies or
it's directors. Against such a calamity
the sense of justice and humanity revolt
and against which we solemnly protest.
1--WE shall stand by the Amalgamated
full extent of our power, both morally
o;al CHI ole in rv
lawful way stand by the men on strike,
or who may come out on strike, to help
the workers in their right to organize
and the extension of their organization,
so that the only power which stands for
their protection and advancement against
the avarice of concentrated wealth may
be perfected and perpetuated. When the
overweening rich combine for avarice,
power and tyranny, is it not the duty Of
the workers to unite for home, for justice,
for right and humanity.
''If the trust should succeed in its pur-
pose to crush the Amalgamated Asso-
citation the victory would be dearly
bought.
1.-The fight of the brave Beers may end
In their undoing, but the spirit of justice,
the love of freedom and right suddenly
looms up in another part of the world,
these principles find lodgment in the
hands of other men who will carry on the
battle until they are enthroned in the
conscience and every day life of all peo-
pies; SO with the Amalgamated ASsocia
ton; an organization may be defeated
in a contest, but it will not be conquered.
'The AmaIgamated Association will not
be crushed. she will not be conquered:
she must not even be defeated

TEDDY FINDS A BEAR.
After Firing All His Cartridges
the Colonel DiscreetIy Fled.

St. Louis, Jan. 16.-A special to the
Republic from Meeker, Colo, says:
Theodore Roosevelt. according to q
gentleman who arrived today from the
keystone ranch. had a narrow escape
yesterday from a wounded grizzly bear
The hunters early in the morning
crossed the trail of the bear. They fol-
lowed it through the snow until it en-
tered a box" canon. They then dis
mounted and continued the chase on
foot. After a tramp of three or four
miles. they saw the bear numbering
along ahead of them leisurely. When
within 100 yards they opened fire. The
only effect of the fusillade was to make
the animal move faster
Colonel Roosevelt, in spite of warn
ings, rushed ahead, shooting as fast as
he could work the lever of his rife.
Finally the bear was stopped by a cliff,
and, seeing no chance of escape, turned
and charged down the canon.
Mr.. Roosevelt who was well in the
lead, stood his ground until the mag
azine of his rifle was empty, and then
turned and ran. The path through the
snow was not well broken, however
and bruin was the swifter. The others,
with replenished magazines, spread out
and opened fire. Mr.. Roosevelt drop
ped his rifle and made an extra squirt,
and, breathIess and exhausted, stumbled
over a rock and fell into the snow The
grizzly dropped, lifeless, not fifteen feet
behind him.

THE LEAVENWORTH HORROR.
The brutal lynchfng Of the negro Fred
Alexander by a mob in Leavenworth IS
indefensible. Even though It were ad-
mitted that Alexander was guilty Of
the crimes OF which ne was suspected
stin the outrage can not be palliated;
that Alexander asserted his innocence of
the murder in the face Of certain death
adds to the horror Of the case
People. goaded to frenzy by outrages
upon their homes sometimes commit acts
which their sober second judgment
would condemn and this is undoubtedly
true in this case. The agony Of the
negro as he writhed burning at the
stake will not prevent future acts Of
violence and at the same time it brutal
lied every person connected with the
lynching.
There Is one line which marks the diff
ference between civilized beings and
savages. and that is a respect for the
rules OF society known as laws In the
days Of most brutal savagery nothing
more fendish ever occurred than the
burning Of the negro at Leavenworth-
The spirit that derives joy from human
suffering is a savage one. and has no
place in a civilized community It was
bad enough for the rude and coarse
American Indians OF q century ago, OUT
how much worse it becomes when 1t
develops among the most enlightened
people of the most enlightened nation on
earth.
It is a mistake to assume that the
death penalty will put stop to mob VI
olence. The death penalty is in force in
Ohio and it has not been long since a
scene similar to that enacted in Leaven-
worth was enacted in the city Of Akron
which contains about the same popula-
ton as Topeka In this case the vigil
lance Of the officers prevented the lynch
ing but it was not until several unof-
Tending citizens had been shot
The condemnation OF the acts Of the
mob by the legislature reflects the true
sentiment or the people OF Kansas
There are very few who will Justify the
acts of the mob II il a disgrace to the
state and to the advanced civilization
which marks the beginning OF the
Twentieth century

IMPORTS OF RAW MATERIAL.

The manufacturers Of the country i'm
ported more raw material for use in
manufacturing In the year 1900 than in
any preceding year in the history Of
our import trade. The total material
OF foreign product imported in q crude
condition during the year just ended
amounts to over s275. o0O, 900, and II to
this is added the total Of articles wholly
or partially manufactured for use as
materials in manufacturing the grand
total OF manufacturers materials inn
ported would amount to over $s6o.00o.-
600. or nearly As per cent. OF the total
importations. This statement is based
upon eleven months detailed figures al
ready received by the treasury bureau
Of statistics, to which is added an esti-
mate for the twelfth month. Decem-
Der. based upon the figures OF the pre-
csding month
This statement puts the Importation
Of raw material in the twelve months
ending with December, 1900 at s276.
SOS. 900, against S276, 49, $50 in 1899 S162.-
172. 7s6 in 1896. and $780, 4s4 IN 1894. A
comparison OF 1899 and 1900 with pre-
ceding years shows an increase OF over
IS per cent. in the importations Of man
ufacturers' materials in these two years
as compared with the entire period from
1890 to 1898, and an increase of nearly
70 per cent as compared with the years
1894 and 1895.
Even the remarkable fall in prices OF
manufacturers' materials which has
characterized the closing half OF the
year 1900 has not prevented the total
value OF these materials imported in
1900 from exceeding that Of 1893, though
in two articles, India rubber and silk,
the figures for 1900 show a reduction as
compared with 1899. Raw silk is quoted
in the New York markets IN December,
1900. at s3.45 per pound, against $3.50 in
December, 1899: Manila hemp at *
cents per pound IN December, 1900.
against 49, cents per pound in Decem-
Der. 1893: sisal. at 50 cents per pound
in December 1900, against So cents in
December. 1899: and ruber at SO cents
per pound in December. 1900, against
81. 05 PEI. pound in December. 1889. With
a reduction in cost such as that sug-
gested by the articles named it is APP
parent that the increase in quantity Of
manufacturers' materials imported In
1900 is even greater than that indicated
by the figures OF value which Of them
selves stand higher than those OF any
preceding year.
