Serious Joke.

Jokes sometimes lead 10 serious re-
suits. 1t begins to look as though
joke recently played upon local
railroad man by another would turn
out that way. One of the city en-
pIoyes of road running into Rock
Island recently lost highly bred
dog which had been brought to him
from out on the road by one of the
engineers. In making inquiries after
the animal the owner accosted an
other engineer, who for Il joke, de-
clared he had seen the dog being
taken away from the city by third
engineer. Now the second party did
not know that the owner of the dog
and the third engineer were ON the
outs. but such was the case The
owner of the dog. To verify the story.

brought him the animal i'm the first

given the suspected party very
short time in which TO produce the
canine and the chances are that the
services of the officials of the road
will be required TO straighten the
matter out.

He Tells the Judges He Is Glad to-
Have the Opportunity to Dis
close What He Knows.
COURT ASKS MANY QUESTIONS
WITNESS SAYS HE HAD TOO MANY
DETAILS TO LOOK AFTER,
Therefore He Could not Personally
See that His Orders Director
of Posts Were Carried Out.

HAVANA, Jan. 13.-The hearing of the
charges growing out of the Cuban post
office frauds was resumed this afternoon.
F. G.. Rathbone was Unexpectedly called
by the government. The court told him he
had the right to refuse TO testify If he so
desired, to which he replied he was glad
of the opportunity to testify. His frank
manner in answering questions evidently
impressed the court. The judges listened
attentively to what Rathbone said when.
explaining the details of the working of the
Department of Posts. he asked the privi-
lege of making his statements more clear.
The court questioned him concerning the
appointments of Nicely and Reeves, to
which he replied that both men had been
sent him by the department at Washing
ton. He said that when Assistant Auditor
j. D. Lawshe turned over the Office and
the postal accounts he highly recommended
Reeves.
Much time was taken up discussing the
question as 10 whether or not Rathbone
lad issued an order to the effect that the
Cuban postmasters render monthly ac-
counts. 1t was due TO the fact that the
postmasters had not rendered accounts that
Reeves was enabled to issue many duph-
cate warrants, most of which Reeves now
says Neely cashed, keeping the money.
Rathbone claims that orders for the Cuban
postmasters to render monthly accounts
were issued June. 1892 and that these or
ders were in the form OF recommenda tions
from special agents that monthly accounts
be carried. On these recommends tions,
RathbOne says, he wrote the word or
dered. signing his name below it. The
government contends that the word ''Or-
dered' was not written on the recommends
tions when the irregularities in the post
office discovered
Rathbone produced letters written to his
chief clerk in May, 1900, calling the latter's
attention TO the fact that the effect that
the order for monthly inspection had not
been carried out and asking an explana-
tion. The fiscal asked Rathbone If il was
not his place to see that his orders We're
carried out as well as 10 issue them. To
this the latter replied that with all the
details of the office ii was impossible for
him to see that everything was done.

COLON, Colombia, Jan. 13.-The United
States cruiser Philadelphia returned to
Panama yesterday from Las Tablas,
whittier she conveyed the commissioners
who purposed to arrange an exchange Of

ment and the Liberals. The Philadelphia

formed that the Liberal general. Herrera,

Panama. The Philadelphia proceeded to
this port where she found the Liberal gun
boats Padilla and Giatan The Padilla is
of 200 tons and mounts two six-pounders
When the Philadelphia reached Pescsderias
Liberal soldiers from the shore were board
ing the Padilla which is taken TO indicate
that the Liberals are moving. The Amer
lean consul at Panama. II. A. Gudger. and
an officer from tNe Philadelphia went on
board the Padilla. This the commissioners
were not allowed to do.
General Herrera sent word he had a head
ache and did not show himself during the
visit of the Americans. General Porras and
General Lucas Caballero, as commissioners
for the Liberals, subsequently went on
board the Philadelphia, where conference
was held with the commissioners of the
Colombian government in the presence of
Mr.. Gudger and the captain of the Phila-
delphia. The Liberals wished to effect an
exchange for Focion Soto, but were in
formed that Soto had escaped from Bogota

eight prisoners was effected. and the ex-
change will be made on the island of To-
baga. in the gulf of Panama. the 18th.

Lorenzo, have united with those com
manded by General Herrera, and ii is said
these united forces intend TO land near
Chorrera.
General Alban has decided to return the
steamship Lantaro to her agents. II is said
the general will do this because he has re-
ceived a cablegram to the effect that a
steamer called the Boas has just been ac-
quired by purchase by Colombian agents at
Punta Arenas and has sailed for Panama.
The recent washout on the railroad be-
tween here and Panama has been found
more serious than first reported. over a

days of this week with Judge and Mrs.
Hobson. 1t was at a dinner at her home,
according to published report. that it was
announced that Captain Habson was en-

cmphatically any such announcement and
laughingly remarked: There was not only
no announcement made but there was no
dinner. We were detained so long at a
luncheon that, although l had invited
guests for dinner, there was no time to cat
the meal, as Captain Hobson had to hurry
off to speak at the hail.

pedient for Cabinet officers to appear in
such a capacity. The basis of the plea
which the Michigan beet men presented TO
the secretary was the fact that in 1898 the
people Of Michigan paid 100000 for sugar;
in 1901 they raised 900 worth OF sugar.
They claimed that most of the $7.OO0, 900
went out of the country and that the in

kept money at home. They claimed that
next year they would be selling more sugar
than they could use in the State
