STORY OF THE CIVIL WAR.
How Daughter Recovered Her Faith
er's Arms.

How a Daughter Recovered Her Faith
er's Arms.
Mrs. T. O.. Chestney is entertaining
couple of guests during the farmers
national congress-Dr. Edwin G.
Booth of Virginia, and Allen Ruf1n of
North Carolina. The presence of DR..
Booth in Macon revives an interesting
little story concerning the civil war.
The doctor was assistant surgeon on
the Selma, the &C ederate gunboat
which was shot to pieces in Mobile
bay on the 9Th of August, 1854. Lieut..
T. U. Murphy, Mrs. T. o. Chestney's
father, was in charge of the vessel.
He surrendered his sword and pistol
to Lieut-Com. James E. Jouett, Ken
tuckian, who, as member of the
federal navy, was in command of the
Metacomet, and he pulled down the
confederate flag from the Selma and
hoisted the United States flag. Mrs.
Chestney was at that time a mother
less girl in North Carolina. Her father
died afterward' and when she grew
up learning each day to love the mem
DRY of her father with increasing
fervor, she became anxious to recover
the sword and pistol which he had
given up at Mobile bay. She learned
that Dr. Booth was residing at Car,
ters Grove, Va, and that he had been
close friend of her father. About 10
years ago she went to Virginia to visit
his family. She came home and soon
received letter from a lady of whom
she had never heard. The lady stated
that she had Lieutenant Murphys
pistol. 1t was sent to Mrs. Chestney.
The sword has also been obtained and
also the flag which was lowered from
the Sedma, so that Mrs. Chestney now
has three very valuable reminders of
her fathers career as a soldier

MEXCANS FEAR
NEW VOLCANO

Mexico City, Oct. 28.-There is no
little CONSERVATION felt by the inhabi-
tants of many towns in the remote
south country on account of showers
of ashes falling in an extensive re-

of Tabasco and as far north as Salina
Cruz. It is believed hill near Palen-

falling at Palenque have hidden the
sun and also at Comitan. Some
anxiety is felt for Chiapas. Indians

in Guadalupe Sierra is vomiting fire
and smoke. People in many towns
have been running about in terror and

Washington, D. c., Oct. 28.-The
commission that is to decide the ques-
tions at issue between the anthracite
miners and their employers began its
real work yesterday. All the members
of the commission are in the city and
most of the operators or their repre-
sentatives are here. Five OF the mine
operators or their representatives ar
rived Sunday night and President
Mitchell arrived yesterday morning.
The operators party included Pres1-
dent George F. Baer, E. B. Thomas,
James B. Kerr, David Wilcox and AL
fred Walter. The operators will hear
the ideas the commission has to make
for undertaking the work in hand.
The commission met at o'clock in
the rooms of the interstate commerce
commission. Judge Gray read the or
der of the president creating the COM
mission and in general way outlined
the procedure to be followed in the
presentation of the issues.
President Baer objected to the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Mitchell as a repre-
sentative of the mine workers Of
America, but said he had no objection
to offer against Mr. Mitchell's appear
ance as representative Of the anthra-
cite coal miners generally. Mr.. Baer's
object was to avoid the recognition of
the mine workers union order.
It was agreed that Mr.. Mitchell
should file with the commission next
Monday a detailed statement of the
claims of the miners.
It was suggested that each side to
the controversy appoint an expert to
go through the books of the coal COM
panies for the purpose of securing
| data upon which to work, but Presi-
dent Baer and other representatives
of the companies objected and suggest
| ed that they would furnish whatever
| information is needed.
The commission decided to begin it's
work next Thursday morning, the first
| days of the investigation to be devot-
ed to physical examination of the
| mines and homes of miners, starting
in the vicinity of Scranton. The en-
tire anthracite field will be covered.
! During the discussion yesterday
| President Baer made point of saying
| the case of each coal company would
| be dealt with separately. He would
contend for the sliding scale in regu-
lation of wages.
81 shall urge the adoption of that
profit-sharing plan," he said, (which
gave us peace formerly in our relation
| to our employees"
While the commission was in ses-
sion the mine operators proposed to
place a special train at the disposal
of the commission if it was decided to
visit the mines. The commission in
executive session decided to reject
this offer.
Getting Under Way.
Scranton, Pa, Oct. 28.-Of 108 col
lieries operated by the five big COM
panies having headquarters here only
thirteen are idle. About 80 per cent.
of the old employees are back at work.
By Wednesday the companies expect
to be getting out 70 per cent. of their
normal output.
Many Must Wait.
Shamokin, Pa, Oct. 28.-Four thou
sand men and boys reported for duty
yesterday, but only one-third were
given employment, as there was room
for no more because of the gangWays
being blocked by roof falls and water.

FIGHTING IN

Colon, Colombia, Oct. 2S.-The revo-

Uribe and General Castillo which at
tackled La Cienaga, Oct. IA, consisted
of 1900 men and four pieces of art1l-
lery. The government forces lost Col.

Washington, Oct 28.-The long ex-
pected response of the Colombian gov
eminent to the proposition of the state
department for negotiation of the
canal treaty on the lines of the Spoon
er act was presented to the state de-
partment yesterday by Mr.. Herran,
secretary of the Colombian legation.
1t is difficult to learn the exact nature
of this communication, but it is known
it is not altogether an unqualified ac-
ceptance of the state departments
propositions. 1t is however, friendly
and dignified in tone and does not
close the negotiations by any means
though it unquestionably sets back the
date of final argument.
For one thing, Colombia now is en-
tirely dissatisfied with the small
amount of payment to be made to it by
the United States under the terms OF
the protocol. This sum is 100000.
Colombia wants at least $10,000,000.
Moreover, the original proposal looked
to wait of fourteen years before be-
ginning the payment ofthe annual rent
al, the amount of which was to be-
then fixed by mutual agreement. Co.
lombia now asks the United States to-
agree at once on yearly lump pay
ment of 100000 which will consider
ably increase the immediate cost OF
the enterprise. Colombia clings to its
contention that it has no constitution
al authority to ALLEVIATE any Colombian
territory and reiterates that the best
it can do to meet the language of the
Spooner act, which looks to perpetual
control by the United States over the
canal strip, is to make a hundred year
lease with the distinct stipulation that
the same shall be renewable by the
United States at the expiration of the
century.
