COLOMBIAN ARMY BANGS AWAY AT
ITSELF FOR SEVERAL
HOURS.
FINALLY DISCOVER MISTAKE
WE'RE CHASING REBELS AND FOR
CES GOT SEPARATED.
RumOr That Colombia Will Acquire
the Venezuelan Revolutionary
Vessel LibertadOr.

COLON, Colombia, Jan. 16.-News OF
a serious mistake in which force Of
government troops fought another body
Of government soldiers, thinking is was
composed Of Colombian revolutionists,
has been brought to Colon. Colombia,
by the Colombian warship, Gen. Pinzon.
The mistake Mapped in the vicinity
Of Dibullo, near Rio Hacha, and 1t
resulted in Is men being killed and
GO wounded.
Capt. Merritt, of the Gen. Pinzon.
says that the vessel landed four hum
dred men in Dibullo to drive back the
insurgents. The revolutionists retreat
ed towards Rio Hacha when the gov
eminent troops advanced. 1t was de-
cided to divide the government forces
into two bodies in order to capture
the rebels. One of these met the reb-
els, and after a sharp engagement the
insurgents retreated.
Other Body Comes Up.
The other body of government troops
then came up, having heard the firing,
and the mistake followed. Thinking
that it was opposed by rebels, each
force started firing. The fight was
kept up for four hours, when Gen. Fol-
TACO discovered the mistake and
stopped the battle, which had been
evenly contested.
The steamship Libertador, formerly
the Banrigh, which recently took the
Matos expedition to Venezuela from
Martinique, will soon enter the service
of the Colombian government.
Willemstad, Island Of Curacao, Jan.
Is, (via Haytien cable).-The Venezue-
Ian revolutionary steamer Libertador,
formerly the Banrigh), was sighted
Tuesday evening near Cape Codera,
east of La Guayra. It is supposed that
she landed arms there.
Numbers of insurgents are in the field
in that vicinity.

ton adequate to supply the needs OF our
diversified industries and our domestic
and foreign commences and the issue of
this should be so regulated that suffici-
cient supply should be always available
for the business interests of the country -
We fully understand what is said
but don't know what it means or how
the desired condition is to be brought
about. His remarks on the desired
relations of labor and capital are
estimable-social theories, sugges-
ting the millennium period, but as to
practical realization, about as re-
mote. On Cuban reciprocity, he
makes no uncertain sound he is for
that first, last and all the time.
he announces that he will submit o
new treaty very soon, and then we
will know what it is proposed to do
nate as further recompease for the
privilege OF gaining their independ-
ence for them. 1t can safely be
surmised that the agricultural inter-
ests of this country will stand the
consequences. The benefits to hui
manlty to be derived from the inter-
national peace commission at the
Hague, are extolled and emphasized
by arguments, showing the impera-
tive need of increased appropriations
for every purpose, battle ships and
war material His remarks on
National irrigation proposition are
good and indicate that he has a cor
rect idea of western needs in this re-
spect, and shows his honest human
lty In his recommendation of the en-
torcement of the game laws. AS to
the questions of transportation, the
one of most vital Importance to the
west, ne has little if anything to say.
On the public land question, he
speaks as though he fully realized
that frauds have been and are being
perpetrated, and indicates that
further approp iation of the public
domain must be accomplish In a
strictly, and not technically legal
manner. Of our new colonial sys-
tenn and possessions, he takes very
rosy view and INDUCES in specula-
lions and antlcipations that present
in no wise warrant. The
document, as a whole, is a peculiar
one, and Inconsistencies are not alb.
sent from it by any means.

proposition is another story; and all
the real point there is in the matter
is, provided the United States
government will guarantee the afore-
said bonds" The impudence and
assurance of Mr. SelIgman from
New York is psralyzing, and the
President would have been acting
fully up to the mark of his high
calling if he had Immediately called
for the service of some strenuous at
tendant to throw the financier out of
the window. National bonds as a
rule are evidence of financial
extremity, and the policy of taking
advantage of these conditions has
become the most efficient means of
absorbing the earnings of the unfort-
innate borrower. The greater the
the need the more rigid the terms, and
where the carcass is the buzzards
will congregate. The only difference
between the bond methods and the
old time system is, it lacks the
heroism that attended the conquest
of the territory desired and the hold
ing of 1T by force of arms-just the
difference between bold bandit and
a pawn broker.

THE MESSAGE,

This conventional document was
received and read before congress on
the IND inst and is, to say the least,
voluminous. The opening PROPOSE
ton is the orthodox text of the party,
a fallacy that has been promulgated
until even the impecunious sufferers
OF the party seem to believe it. He
says, I'VE still continue in a period
OF unbounded prosperity. He fails
to allude to the fact that this de-
sirable condition principally confined
to transportation combines, and tar
i'll protected trusts, who are paving
dividends, and accumuIating wealth
by the absorption of the earnings of
the people that had better be left in
their hands. He admits the exist
ence of monopolies and asystem of
unjust discrimination that prevents
and cripples competition: also that
fraudulent over capitalization. and
other evils exist as the result of
trust combinations and tariff pro-
lection, and evidently has arrived at
conclusion that the present laws
made solely in the interests of these
institutions and against popular In
terests, cannot be used to regulate
them and the only suggestion of re-
medy is constitutional amendment.
He complains that congress has as
yet made no appropriation for the
enforcement of the anti trust law. as
1t now stands, and suggests some
thing might be done if congress
would make special appropriation
for this purpose. AS we remember
Mr. G.. Cleveland made similar ex-
cuse for not enforcing the Geary
law regarding Chinese immigration.
But as congress is mainly made no
of agents of these combines, it can
hardly be expected that adverse
legislation will be Of very strenu.
GUS character. Regarding the tariff
question, he evidently realizes that
that the present condition is an in
justic to the mass of the people. in
the interest of class, and, as a |
principle, altogether wrong. But
this must be,sacrificed on the altar of
political policy and it's exceedingly
undesirable that this system should
be changed. He recommends
tariff commission and favors reciproc-
ity treaties. He evidently favors an
increase Of National bank PRIVILEGES
but his remarks on this subject are
decidedly ambiguous. for instance he
remarks:
Interest rates are potent factor in
business activity, and in order that these
rates may be equalized to meet the vary
ing needs of the season and of widely
separated communities, and to D. event
the recurrence Of financial stringencies
which njuriously affect legitimate bust
ness, it is necessary that there should be
an element OF elasticity in our monetary
system. Banks are the natural servants
OF commerce, and upon them should be
paced as FAR as practicable. the burden

Sleep Producing Vegetables.

\ People who are Of sleepless tenden-
cy should remember that diet is a most
important matter in regard to sleep
lessness. A heavy meal will often de-
stroy sleep, and in other cases a too
long interval between meal and bed
time causes great restlessness. A glass
of milk slipped slowly while cracker
is eaten is often Of benefit. Milk, how
ever, does not agree with everybody.
Some people recommend as sleep pro-
ducing dish Of boiled Spanish onions
with butter sauce or onion soup for
dinner. Fresh lettuce is also said to
be very good for sleeplessness.-Ex-
change.

LITTLE ODDS AND ENDS.
All That Now Remains to Be Cleared
Up In the Boston Strike.

Boston, March 20.--The grievances
Of the longshoremen against the Metro
pOlitan steamship line, which have thus
far been the chief stumbling block In
the way Of complete sediment of the
big strike, have been greatly lessened,
according to reports made at n very
largely attended meeting of the Long.
shoremen's union last night.
That company has now offered to
take back 80 Of the strikers ut once
and Others as fast as vacancies occur,
the men to be paid the same wages as
before the strike. There are eight
weighers, however, whom the COM
pany refuses to reinstate, but the union
officials are hopeful that this point
may be satisfactorily adjusted.
Team Drivers union %, at its meet
ing last night, was addressed by officers
of several unions. whose remarks ell
cOuraged the members to believe tint
the strike was really over and that n
few minor issues remaining would
gradually straighten themselves out.
That Governor Crane is not slacken-
Ing his efforts to secure complete
reconciliation between the strikers and
their employers is shown by the an
nOuncement that he has called to his as
sistance in this work the services Of
Lieutenant Governor Bates. who will
act on behalf of the governor when the
latter is interrupted by the pressure Of
official business.

RUSSIA AND FRANCE,
Reserve the Right to Defend Certain
Interests in the Far East.

st. Petersburg. March 20.-The Of
fetal Messenger prints the text Of a
Russo-French conjoint declaration,
sent March 16 to the Austrian, Bel
gian, British, American, Spanish. Ger
man. Italian, Dutch, Chinese and
japanese governments. The declara-
ton is as follows:
"The allied Russo French govern
ments are wholly pleased to discern that
the Anglo-Japanese convent III sup
ports the essential principle which,
according to the reiterated statement of
France and Russia, constituted and
still constitutes the foundation of their
policy. Both governments believe that
the support of these principles Is also
guarantee of their interests in the far
east. They are compelled, however,
not to lose from view the possibly in
imical action of other powers or a
repetition Of disorders in China, DOS
sibly impairing Chinas integrity and
free development to the detrimrnt OF
their reciprocal interests. They there
fore reserve to themselves the right
to take measures to defend these in
terests.'
The predatory remarks say that
Russia desires the maintenance of the
status quo and the attainment of com.
plete tranquility in the far east.

TWO BARGES SANK.
Rescue Of Those on Board Under Very
Difficult Circumstances.

New London, Conn, March 20.--
Buifeted by the northerly gale and in
cased in n shroud of Ice. the Lehigh
Valley railroad tugs Shawanese and
Luzerne limped into this harb0r with
two tOws Of barges. Two Of the
barges Of the Luzerne's tow. the Balti-
more and Barnegat, were hardly within
the comparatively calm waters OF the
harbor before they sank while still con-
nected by two tow lines with the tugs.
The Brilliant another of the Luzerne's s
tow, was kept above the surface by
the big pumps of the tugs.
7 here were three men on board each
Of the sunken barges, while Captain
Douglass of the Barnegat had with
him on this trip his wife and two small
children. All We're taken safely OF the
barges after reaching this harbor, but
for several hours 1t was an even chance
that the barges would plunge beneath
the waters before the tugs could ap-
proach them, owing to the heavy
seas.
The Luzerne and Sha wanse left New
York Tuesday morning, each bound for
Newport, II. l.. with five coal-laden
barges behind them.

The anticipated jump of prices In
the retail markets the past week in
consequence of the big strike did not
materialze, but on the contrary, some
commodities were cheaper. The mar
ket, however, has felt the full force OF
the trouble in the extreme dullness
which characterized the trade. Eggs
promise to be plentiful for Easter
and there is no shortage of provisions.
