COLOMBIA OBSTINATE.
AMERICAN CANAL PROPOSAL
REJECTED.
TREATY NEGOTIATIONS SUSPENDED
COLOMBIA NAY BE SEEKING
ANOTHER PURCHASER.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The Cabinet meeting
to-day was devoted almost exclusively to con-
sdering the status of the reciprocity treaty with
cuba and the canal treaty with Colombia Sec
-etsrv Hay. in presenting the subject of the
canal negotiations to the Cabinet was not able
70 report that any progress had been made in
the last week. In fact, it appears that the
regntiatiOns have come to a dead stop, and
while no such thing as an ultimatum has passed
the present situation may be described in the
statement that the Colombian Minister here
sehor Concha, has informed the State Depart
,nent that he cannot, in behalf Of his govern
,nent accept the last proposition of the United
States as the basis Of canal treaty. The State
Departrnent has already let it be known that 1t
has cone to the end of its concessions, so the
chances Of a renewal Of the negotiations in the
near future are not bright.
This state Of affairs VIII stimulate the negoti-
e+ions with Nicaragua and Costa Rica for the
Nicaragua route. but IT now appears that the
diplomatic representatives of those countries
are not disposed to allow themselves TO be
used 10 coerce Colombia, and. therefore, desire
TO remain in the background until 1t has been
clearly established that no treaty can be made
between Colombia and the United States
One Of the statements Of fact in connection
with the Panama route which has been brought
10 the attention Of the State Department is that
the original canal concessions will expire in 1904,
and il has been suggested that the Colombian
Government has that fact in mind, and is dis
posed TO refrain from making a treaty now IN
the expectation that the franchise Will lapse,
and it thus may be in a position to build the
canal Itself. or 10 sell concession. Such
2 course would raise a very serious question
between the Colombian Government. the Pana-
ma Canal Company, the French Government
and the government of the United States as to
whether or not g supplementary decree extend
ing the concession ten years from 1904 was
valid.

UNION ASKS INJUNCTION.
ORDER. SERVED on JONAS GLASS COM
PANY, WILL TEST LABOR
UNIONS STATUS.

Vineland. y. J., Nov. % CSpeciaD.-On applica-
tion Of the Glass Bottle Blowers Association
OF the United States and Canada, Vice-Chan-
oelor Grey. of Camden. has granted an order
10 show cause why an injunction should not be
issued restraining the Jonas Glass Company, Of
Minotola from interfering with the business Of
the strikers This is said TO be the first time
in the history of Jurisprudence that a labor
union has asked for an injunction against
corporation. The granting Of the order. which
was served on the Jonas Glass Company to-
day. brings before the courts the legal stand
ing Of labor unions.
The union viii assert in court its right to
persuade mechanics TO leave or not to enter the
employ OF a corporation against which a strike
has been declared. The association admits
having assisted the strikers at Minotola, and
wants legal protection in its attitude
The association in its bill of complaint alleges
that the Jonas Glass Company has attempted
10 intinidate. frighten and drive the labor
sociation and its officers from Minotola; that
overpowering force Of the companys guards
and sentinels, with display OF arms, shot, other
wise assaulted and actually drove the strikers
from the railroad station at each arrival of
trains when imported workmen were expected,
and that the employees and guards of the glass
company have threatened to kill the strikers
and destroy their headquarters. All the allega-
tions in the unions bill of complaint are sup
ported by afidavits.
Realizing the important question involved in
the application for Injunction, Vice-Chancellor
Grey told attorney that he had granted
the order to show cause" only after much
thought The great question has at last been
brought before the courts concluded the Vice

Sary now to have the commission near an tha

men expressed decided opinions
In the midst OF the conference the request

that efforts are being made TO effect a settle

vidual coal operators have been made a party
of your corporations. beg leave respectfully to
enter their vigorous protest against any such
settlement to be made at this time. and set forth
the following, among many. reasons:
First-We believe that such a settlement at
this time. and upon the basis suggested. would
forever establish the power and perpetuate
the injustice perpetrated by the union mine
workers.
Second-That such settlement would be. in the
eyes of the public, a confession that have
heretofore been guilty of all the offences charged
against US by the said mine workers.
Third-That We have, and believe that you
have, such perfect and complete defence to
