ton, did not go to Panama to attend
the conference arranged 10 take place
yesterday on board the United States

Gently promulgated by the president
of Colombia, Senior Marroquin.
Gen. Santo Domingo arrived here
last month bearing peace proposals
from the Colombian government to
Gen. Vargas Santos. He said the
purposa OF mis- government in calling
the peace conference was to establish
an effective and lasting peace which
would
Harmonic the interests
of the several political parties con-
.cerned in the revolution. The matter
was discussed between Gen. Vargas
Santos and the Colombian representa-
tive, who exchanged a number of
cablegrams with the Colombian au-
thorities at Panama with the result
that Gen. Nar~gas-Santos accepted the
proposals made by Gen. Santo Do
mingo and promised to attend the
conference at Panama with Generals
Perdomo and SalaZar, of the Colom-
bian government, and Gen. Herrera of
the reyolutionists.N <E
At this point of the negotiations
Gen. .Yargas-Santos received advices
to the effect that Notwithstanding the
proposals of the Colombian govern
ment made through its representative,
Colombia purposed limiting the IN
ference to the acceptance of the de-
cree Of amnesty. Gen. Va~rgas-Santos
%thereupon refused to accept such a
proposition and decided to Withdraw
from the conference, which, he says,
he, considers futile. az &
At the. same time the military ,direc-
tor of the Colombian revolution
learned that the Colombian govern
ment had issued orders TO Gen. Toyar
to imprison the revolutionary general,
Uribe-Uribe, and
Sentence Him to Death
without mercy. This order was given
in spite of Gen. Uribe.Uribe's capitu-
lation to the government forces, which
occurred at Rio Frio, Colombia, last
month. The receipt Of this news,
which is considered in Colombian revo-
lutionary circles here to be a shame
full violation of public faith, further de-
cided Gen. Varagas-Santos not to at.
tend the Deace conference at Panama,
and he issued orders to the Colon
bian revolutionary army to continue
it's warfare.
Gen. Vargas-Santos declares he is
willing to make peace providing that
the Colombian government will rec
ognize the civil and political rights of
which the liberal party has been de-
prived for the last seventeen years,
but not otherwise.

critical audience of 1000 people, left
n few years ago to study music under

and he then gave promise of every
thing he has since accomplished. His
first concert at Leipsic last summer at
once won him the highest praise from
the most critical judges of pianoforte
art in Germany. His recent success
has made him the envy of the young
native artists in Leipsic. He was the
star Of the Philharmonic recitals and

scored by an American. Mr.. Elbel will

1t is true that one can go from Bos-

the roads of the railroad giants, but
only through very narrow pathway
and for the most part within view Of
competing syndicate lines on either

roads within our borders does not do

A PIGEON RANCH.

Eighty Acres Devoted to tho Rearing
of the Birds.
What is said to be the only pigeon
Cal. 1t covers about eight acres of
sandy, gravelly ground in the bed of
the Los Angeles river. where there is
an abundance of water. Here stands
an enormous ark-shaped loft, or pigeon
house, whose crudities of architecture
are concealed by the thousands of
pigeons upon the roof. Fifteen thou
sand birds fairly cover the ground and
loft, SO that AT times from a distance
1t appears as though some of the snow
from the neighboring Sierras had been
dropped upon the roof. The increase
of this gigantic flock is enormous. If
the market should fail the owner would
be utterly unable to feed his birds, as
in less than two years he would by
calcuiation have . million birds on his
hands. Fortunately the demand is bet
ter than the supply and the pigeon
ranch sends about 10000 squads a year
to the market.
The statistics of this unique ranch
are interesting. The estimated output
for the month is 5000. the gross income
being about $4,000 year. The average
price per dozen for the birds is about
50, sometimes ranging mp to $40. The
expense Of maintaining such an enor-
nous flock is considerable. The birds
are fed three times a day, each meal
costing approximately for all $5. so the
III
food consists mainly of wheat, screen
ings. boiled meal and stale bread. The
daily consumption is about twelve
sacks Of screenings, eight sacks Of
wheat and many gallons of boiled meal.
The bread is an additional fattener
given during the week.

'Of all passengers carried by ocean
currents floating islands are the most
interesting. Many of them have been
found voyaging on the Atlantic. These
islands we're originally parts Of low
lying river banks which broke away
under stress of storm or flood and
hoated out to sea, says Theodore
Waters In Ainslee's. The Orinoco, the
Amazon. the La Plata and other tropi-

Curious Mlx-pp In Hungary.

Two brothers married two sisters q
year or two ago at Sandorfalva, in
Hungary. 1t is necessary in Hungary
that civil marriage should precede
the ceremony in the church. At the
civil ceremony Emmerick Tanks was
married to Katieza Patay and Francis
Tanks to Mary Patay. Then the young
couples went to the church for the
final ceremony. At the altar the
brides somehow changed places. event.
ually leaving the church married to
the wrong husbands. The bridegrooms
appealed to the priest for advice, but
he said the brides father could settle
the matter. That gentleman agreed to
give his decision at the termination of
the wedding feast. BY that time. how
ever. he had drunk not wisely but too
well. and was incapable OF anything.
The matter had to be brought before
the courts. which decided to give the
brides to the men they loved.
