Editor Providence News:
Dear Sir; Thieves, buns or yeggs seem
to be very much In evidence at the pres
ent time IN this city.
At the house. AZ Benevolent street. two
men were lurking round from s o'clock
p. m, until O'Clock this morning and a
tenant living I'm one OF the tenements did
not go 10 sleep until 8 o'clock n. IN.
Down on Borden street, junction OF
Crary and Borden. four men were loaflng
round looking at the tenements and stores
and two OF the men went into some OF
the small stores and then came out and
talked for quite while. They stayed
around all the afternoon.
This must be a good place for the po-
lice 10 study human nature IL they choose
TO do so.
Yours respectfully.

THE REPORT OF DODGE.
Much Interest is Manifested in
 Road Building.


 Washington, Jan 9-The report of Hon. Martin Dodge. director of the of flee of public road inquiries of the agri- never in the history Of this country has there been so much interest manifested in road building and more actual work in that line was done last year than ever.
 Out of large number of requests for practical cooperation, five places have been selected where the office will assist in building object lesson roads. These places are Buffalo, New York; Cumber- land. Maryland; Charlottesville, Va; Jonesboro, Tennessee and Tama, Iowa. Sections of the various kinds of roads. including earth, gravel. macadam, tar macadam, etc, will be built. The of- flee will cooperate with National Good Roads Association and the Southern Railway in the building of object lesson roads in the States. of North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia. South Carolina and Virginia. The direcotr says that it should be distinctly understood that the work of the office is purely educational. There. is no intention to shift the burden and responsibility of constructing inn proved roads from the States and coun- ties to the general government The director suggests the organization of two or three outfits of road building machine ry, including rock crushers. screens, rol- lers. road graders, etc, to be sent to the various places which have asked for the cooperation of the department and where preparations have been made for actual road construction.

COLOMBIAN SITUATION
oSTRoN AND HERRERA, REBEL
 LEADERS, ARE NEAR PEE.
General Alban, Commander of Gov ernment Forces on the Isthmus, Denies That Revolution Has
 Broken Out at Bogota.

Colon, Jan. 9--Recent arriN ais at Pan- anna say that the Colombian, General Os- trom is near Pegs southwest ofPsnama on the Asuro peninsula) with 600 men, and that the Liberal leader, General Herrera, Is at Los Santos, near Peg, with 800 men. The Colombian General Orts is at Agua Dulce with 400 men, and Is endeavoring to join General Castro.
 Unless the troops under command of General Herrera come to Panama on the liberal cruiser Padilla and attack that port news of an engagement in the vi- cinity of Peg and Los Santos Is expected momentarily.
 The South American Steamship Com pany's steamer Lantaro. 2,600 tons, ar- rived at Panama today with 472 men and forty-nine officers of the Chilean navy. who are on the way to Europe to man the warship recently purchased abroad by Chile.
 On examination. the Pacific Steam Na- vigation Company's steamer Chiriqui, which the Colombian Government pro- posed to charter for Government service, proves to be unable to stand the vibra- tions resulting from cannon firing. Con- sequently if the Colombian gunboat Gen eral Pinzon, which has on board the guns which were destined for use on the Chiri- qui arrives at Colon shortly, the Colom- bian Government will endeavor to obtain the Lantaro instead of the Chiriqui.
 When General Alban was questioned to- day concerning the statement in a dis patch from Managua. Nicaragua. receiv- ed in the United States yesterday to the effect that a revolution had broken out in Bogota and that the President of Co., lombia had been imprisoned. he said:
 "The reported revolt at Bogota and the imprisonment of President Marroquin are both untrue. The source of information in Managua cannot be trusted"

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
OPPOSE PROPOSED CONCESSION
 TO THE CUBANs
Remission of the Dingley Rates, They Say, Will Destroy the Sugar Industry of the
 State of Louisiana.

New Orleans. Jan. s.--A large meeting of cane sugar growers this afternoon unanimously adopted a protest to Con the producers of cane sugar in the island of Cuba in part as follows:
 "The United States has spent three hundred millions in money and sacrificed the lives of thousands through battle and disease, to give Cuba freedom, for ls9s
 "Cuba is now asking that further sacri- fees be made in her behalf. We are willing, If called~ upon, to again con- tribute our share to benefit Cuba, but we ought not to be called upon by the United States Government to contribute our all, when it is hardening to and answering the Cuban cry.
 '"The Cubans desire that they shall be helped, by the remission, by our gov- ernment, of the sugar duties levied under the Dingley tariff. We protest, because this method singles us out, from among all the sons of our American country. as the victims, whose substance is to enrich the cane fields of Cuba.
 We protest against their demands, be- cause they will result in establishing a rate of tariff on agricultural products from Cuba for all time, and which will continue to injure us so long as the tarin shall last.
 "We protest. because the course sug- gested benefits a foreign state, number ing less than 100000 people, while it destroys the greater part of the invested capital and renders almost valueless the low lands of the best por- tion of State of this Union, Louisiana. "
 They further asert that the present price of sugar threatens the destruction of cane growing in this State.
 In conclusion the cane growers say:
 we trust that consideration of this protest, will prevent any governmental action on the lines laid down by the Cuban delegates: we trust so in our in- terests, as well as in those of our fel- low American beet sugar producers, our vegetable and fruit growers and our tobacco planters of the United States"
 Copies of the protest were ordered sent to President Roosevelt and to Congress.

DIR. COOKE IN TROUBLE.
Students Demand That He Be Dis
 missed.


 Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. s.-The students of the Medical Department of Grant University. in mass meeting. adopted resolution by unanimous vote asking the trustees of the Universi- ty to dispense with the Rev. E. J. Cooke, professor of historical theology, for his late attack on the Daughters of the Con- federacy. in a religious paper. The law students will meet tonight, when a similar action will be taken.
 When Dr. Cook entered the mess hall while the students were at supper last night he was loudly missed. Grant Un- versity is under the control of the South ern Educational Society and. the Freed- mans Aid Society of the Northern Methodist Episcopal Church.
 The editorial in question compared the Daughters of the Confederacy to Emma Goldman.
 The resolutions declared it to be their deliberate opinion that the retention of Dr. Cooke will be highly detrimental and asked the trustees to remove him at once.
 The law students of Grant University adopted a resolution which declares: .The article appearing in Dr. Cooke s paper Is altogether out of accord and not in sympathy with the sentiments of the law students and the article is hereby condemned as altogether unjust: and further. we believe that the law de- partment should not be censued for the utteranccs of an individual not in any away connected with this department
