 Since Coal Strike Settlement.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-R. G. Dun 6 Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Settlement of the coal strike removes the only serious handicap to industrial progress Five months of restricted fuel production had begun to check the wheels at many manufacturing cen ters, while there was perceptible dim mutton in consumptive demands as the purchasing power of the wage earners steadily decreased. Savings have been exhausted, and much mon ey has gone out of the country because of this struggle, but the nations re- markedly strong position assures a speedy restoration of prosperous condi- lions
 Transportation is now the worst fea- 1ure and threatens to continue disturb ing. While the grain crops are being moved the supply of rolling stock and motive power will prove insufficient.
 Inadequate supplies of fuel cause, further banking of furnaces, but tie effect of decreased output of domes- tic pig iron has been partially neutral ized by larger arrivals from abroad.

dence, HOG South Twenty-ninth, at 7:15 yes

Omaha who had seen the city grow from
a feeble settlement into a thriving, pro-

ferry back In the "Indiap days. and con-
ductor of the Irish mall" the transfer
train which was run back and forth from
Omaha to Council Bluffs. He had charge Of
this train for years.
Captain Swobe was a familiar figure
around the Union station and around the
place where that commodious building

drawn. Many of the "old-timers" grew
reminiscent, yesterday when they learned
Of the passing Of their old friend ana re-
called the days when he was a driver for
the old Western stage line out OF Omaha,
being one Of its early employees in this ca
paeity.

Colombian Rsvolutionists Threaten an
Attack on City of Panama.

United States Steamer Ranger Follows
In wake Of GunbOats Which
Hurry to Scene of the
Fighting.

PANAMA, Colombia, July 19.-The In
surgent gunboats Padilla and Darien ap-
peared last night between Flamonico and
Ottique islands. Governor Salazar there
upon ordered the government gunboats
Chucuito and Clapet to put to sea and
meet them. Heavy cannonading is taking
place at this hour, 10 a. m. The United
States special service steamer Ranger cam
into the bay. Great alarm prevails in this
city. The Entertainments are full Of SOL
dieFs.
The cannonading between the government
and the revolutionary vessels continued I'M
, I'll a o'clock. this afternoon. 1t was heaT-
lest at 10 o'clock this morning. At Q
o'clock Darien was seen In tow OF
Padiifa and IT lis believed she had been
hit The government feet was.handicapped
sby the absence of the suhboat Beyaca, tls
keel Of which was being repaired, and it is
thought probable that this fact was known
by the insurgent general, Herrera, who de-
cided to attack Panama in order to prevent
the government from helping General Berti's
troops at Aqua Duice.
Ranger I'm Fire Line.
The United States steamer Ranger, which
returned here at 10 o'clock from ChiriquI,
cam within the line OF FIRE. During a part
of the heavy firing she was back Of Flam-
eneo island.
A representative of the Associated Press
was informed by United States Consul
Gudger that American interests at Panama
had not been materially interfered with.
The government gunboat Boyaca, which
Is at La Boyca, hurriedly completed repairs
and is going out at 5 o'clock. Padilla
has gone. Ranger left the bay after
Padilla started, taking the same course
as the revolutionary gunboat.
No explanation is offered Of the move
ment. 1t is thought that a great battle is
being fought at Aqua Dulce. Whatever the
result OF this shall be to General Herrera
army. General salaza. the governor of
Panama, said to the representative of the
Associated Press that the revolutionary
forces will suffer terribly and an attack by
them on Panama will be rendered impos-
sfble even II they are not defeated. Gen.
eral saiazar has blind confidence in his
troops.
