Injunction Made Permanent.

Chicago, Jan. l3.-Judge Chetlain has
made permanent the temporary injunction
granted last week in the case of Robeit
Tarrant against the local lodges of The
international NIachinists' association and
the union pickets who have patrolled the
streets near his shop. The injunction re-
strains the strikers from interfering with
the workmen, but the jurist holds that the
workingmen have the right to peacefully
urge other men to leave their posts.

London. Jan. l4.-Now that William

at Newmarket and the English experts
have had chance to see them, Nastur-
tium has become prime favorite for the
derby, sharing with Duke of Westminster
the top price, 6 to l against. There is

SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC FEARED
AT TIME OF THE CORONATION.
Representative of Associated Press
Informed That London VIII he
Qunrantined mt That Time-Crews
of ships Being Vaccinated--New
York niscredits Story.

London, Jan. 14.-The agent of one
OF the largest transatlantic lines wa
asked by the representative of the AS
ISOLATED Press if he expected an unus-
uaj number of Americans to be presen
IN London at the time of the corona
ton of King Edward. He said:
mo. BY May fear we shall have
such smallpox scare and epidemic
that London will be in quarantine
when King Edward is crowned"
That this is by no means a pessimis
tic forecast is evidenced by the fact
week to have the crews of it's ships
vaccinated prior to leaving London fol
New York. Other lines are following
it's example, fearing that any day the
American authorities may place Lon
con shipping under an embargo on &C,
count of smallpox.
The vaccination of the crews is only
a preliminary to the same operation in
the case Of passengers, the English
shipping firms or agents having no de
sire to undergo the financial loss which
would be involved by the detention of
vessels having on board unvaccinated
passengers or crews.
On all sides in the United Kingdom
alarming precautions are on foot to
deal with the outbreak. The total OF
smallpox cases in London now
amounts to only about 900. but the
cases are so scattered that they create
the greatest anxiety.
London's laboratories are all phe-
nomenally busy in turning out lymph.
thousands of tubes of which are daily
supplied, but the demand cannot be
met. Almost all the large firms arc
ordering their employees to be vacci.
mated. Corporations are appropriate
ing sums for the Ell ection of smallpox
additions to the hospitals, while sever
al steamers have been purchased in
London for the accommodation of the
present and expected patients.
Expert opinion prophesies that the
epidemic will not reach its height un
til May. The effect of such condi-
ton of things on the coronation is
almost incalculable.

New York.-In steamship circles the
opinion was freely expressed thar the
report from London regarding the fear
Of an epidemic of smallpox there dur
ing the coming spring and summer is
exaggerated. So far as steamship
crews are concerned no apprehension
is felt. Smallpox, it is said, is exceed
ingly rare among the sailors of the
regular custom TO have all the crews
vaccinated before they are allowed to
enter upon their duties on board the
steamers.

WASHINGTON. Oct. SO.-It developed to-
day that Senior Conchs, the Colombian min
lister, Is growing FESTIVE under the delay Of
his government in giving him further in
structions in answer to his dispatch regard
ing the conditions which have arisen since
the forwarding Of the letter directing him
to proceed with the negotiations for a
treaty with the United States affecting the
right of-way for the Panama canal.
He has sent several requests for this in
formation without Aa4ail. The legation Of
fciAis, however, are moved to the belief that
the dispatch Of Secretary Hay to Minister
Hart, sent IN Tuesday, will have the effect
Of acoelerating matters. n that an early
adjustment Of the pending questions which
are delaying final action on the treaty may
be looked for.
Much of the delay has been occasioned.
30 It is learned, by the attitude of Governor
salsar OF Panama, who has been writing
numerous lettefs to the legation here, and
these more or less Influenced Mr.. Concha in
postponing action on the instructions to

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Anxious in
quiries about the cholera situation in the
Philippines from relatives and friends Of
American soldiers IN the islands indicate
undue alarm. which Is not borne out by
the information received by the bureau of
insular affairs.
Cable inquiry was made OF Governor
Taft as to the actual conditions at this
time.
In a cable received today Governor Taft
states that the cholera has practically
disappeared from the island Of Luzon, and
that in Manila there have only been an

last ten days. In all, twenty provinces
are now practically free from cholera.
Only Ave provinces are not seriously
affected, the provinces OF Iloilo. oeciden-
tai, Negros. CapiE, samar and Misasmis.

USE DISAPPEARING CARRIAGE
Root Says Army Must Employ CrOsier
Invention for six-Inch
Guns,

WASHINGTON, oct. 3O.-Elihu Root has
approved a RECOMMENDATION that the disap-
pearing gun carriage be used in connection
with guns OF stxlinch caliber as well as
with those OF Target bore. The carriage to
be used is largely the design Of General
Crozler, the present head of the ordnance
bureau. It's adoption was fought by Gem
eral Miles, as head OF the board OF ordnance
and fertilization.
Congress at its last session appointed a
board to examine the rival claims, which
has now recommended the carriage for guns
exceeding six inches in caliber, but sug-
gested that their use for smaller guns be
suspended. This suggestion has recently
been again under consideration by the
board Of ordnance and fertilization. and the
board has agreed that the line should be
drawn below the six-inch gun rather than
above. In reaching this conclusion tie
board considered the effectiveness Of the
six-ineh gun in fertilization defense and
decided that modern invention has advanced
the six-inch gun to the point OF a primary
gun. not leaving it a weapon Of secondary
Importance.

someone be appointed to look after the

follows: $40 0 down for each man, one

NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-CounseI for the de-
Tense In the Molineux case moved today
that the court direct the jury to acquit the
defendant on the ground that the evidence
was insufficient. Justice Lambert denied
the motion.
Former Governor Black, in moving Mo-
lineux's acquittal, said the evidence given
was not SUFFICIENT to warrant a conviction;
that there was no evidence that the defend
ant had ever had in his possession cyanide
Of mercury, or the bottle holder In which
the poison was sent; that he did not mail
the poison package and that there was no
proof whatever connecting the defendant
with the crime charged.
At the close Of Governor Blacks argu-
ment Justice Lambert said:
Il will deny the motion for the present
and will hear all the evidence,
Mr.. Black then asked the court to permit
him to make his opening address to the
jury tomorrow and Justice Lambert DC
guessed. declaring court adjourned until
tomorrow. Mr.. Black said his opening ad-
dress would be very short. After the ad-
journment Mr.. Black was asked II Molineux
