RECEIVERS DISCHARGED.
DoWie Once More in Control of Zion
City, III.

Chicago. Dec. 10-John Alexander
Dowie is again in control of Zion City
and all its industries.
This turn in the affairs of the head
of the Christian Catholic church fol-
lowed financial showing made during
the afternoon which satisfied all the
creditors. who Immediately made a
formal motion before Judge kohlsaat
to have the receivership appointed by
the United States district court a
week ago dissolved. AS no objection
was offered to the motion by any of
the creditors Judge kohlsaat granted
the request and Receivers Blount and
Currier were discharged.
While the receivers have been re-
lieved of further duties at Zion City
the bankruptcy proceedings are still
maintained. 1t is likely, however. that
these will be dismissed in day or
two or as soon as the creditors com
mittee appointed on Monday has an
opportunity to report on the advisa-
bility of accepting Dowie's offer of
settlement. This provides for pay
ment OF all merchandise accounts
within one year and the giving of
notes, in the meantime, bearing per
cent interest By the terms of agree
ment Dowie has agreed to pay all the
expenses of the receivers.

General Young Says War Department
Is Prepared.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Lieutenant
General Young, chief of staff, author
tied the statement to be made that
the war department was ready TO dis
patch troops to the isthmus on short
notice, should their presence be de
manded Although the statement
heretofore has been denied 1t is
learned that the department has taken
notice OF the repeated reports that Co
lombian troops were assembling at
different points with the avowed pur-
pose of making a hostile demonstra-
ticn against Panama and has perfected
all military plans TO repel such an in
vasiOn.
General Young said that should he
be called upon to assist the navy IL
would not be necessary to send 10 the
tsthmus more than regiment or two.
Although none of the members of the
Joint army and navy board, which met
during the day, would admit that the
isthmian situation was under discus
sion. 1t is known that such was the
case and that both the army and the
navy are now in state OF prepared
ness for any conflict with Colombia
which might arise.

NAVY DEPARTMENTS POLICY.
viii Make Every Effort to Prevent :
Conflict.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The policy OF
the navy department with respect &c
the entry of Colombian troops into
Panama was said during the day to be
to prevent a conflict before it com
menced To this end, having in mind
previous experiences on the isthmus.
the naval commanders in those waters
have been given instructions to keep
the Colombian troops al a greater dis
tance from the isthmus at points
where fight with the Panaman troops
Is likely TO occur. In all naval opera
tions, it may be stated on authority,
the department is still guided by the
treaty of 1916, under which the United
States guarantees to keep transit
across the isthmus open. A broader
Interpretation of the duties and respon-
sibilities of the government in this
respect has now been given to this
treaty, by which the protection OF the
United States will not alone be con-
fined to the canal strip. but to any
part of the territory of Panama where
an opportunity is afforded Colombian
troops 10 encounter those OF Panama
and thereby temporarily, at least en-
danger free and unobstructed traffic
across the isthmus.

REYES DOUBTS THE REPORT.
Hardly Thinks Colombian Troops Are
ADVANCING.

Washington, Dec 10.-Dr Herran,
the Colombian charge, has authorized
the statement that if troops from Car
tagena have landed near the mouth of
Atrota river as reported by the
French steamer which has arrived at
La Guayra, it is directly in opposition
to the advices of both himself and
General Reyes.
General Reyes stated that the La
Guayra dispatch was the first informa-
tion he had received of the reported
movement of Colombian troops. He
declared. however, that if il is true,
as stated. that such movement has
taken place. ii was without any orders
from him Upon coming to Washing
ton as the special representative of
the Colombian government General
Reyes temporarily relinquished the
command of the Colombian army, the
duties falling upon General Castro,
second in command.
General Reyes has been fully in
formed by the president himself as to
the intentions of the government of
the United States respecting the 18th
mus He was told by the president
that as was set out in the president 5
message to congress. the United States
had determined to maintain the inde-
pendence OF the new republic of Pan
anna against all comers. While this
guarantee is contained in treaty now
pending before the United States sen
ate and as yet unratified the admins
tration has for some time past been
acting upon the theory that the under
standing is in full force. Therefore
all necessary preparations have been
made to exert whatever physical force
may be necessary to protect the 18TH
mian transit. And instead of confining
military aud naval operations to the
narrow strip of the right of way
across the isthmus ii has been decided
that sound military policy requires the
extension of the protected zone to in
clude the entire territory of the repub-
lie of Panama. Consequently no Co
lombian troops will he allowed to
cross the frontier TO Panama, or, II
they cross. they will be elected in due
time.

KITCHENER,s INJURIES.

SIMLA, India Nov. 16.-As the result
of the accident which befell Lord Kit
chener while riding through a tunnel,
his leg was twisted and both bones
snapped above the ankle. Although
accustomed to the tunnel Lord klt-
cheners horse was frightened by sud
denly coming upon a native. The ami
NAL swerved and damned its rider
against a beam in the sldewall. Upon
discovering the identity of the injured
man the coolies bolted and left him ly-
ing on the ground, where he suffered
greatly for half an hour. The broken
bones have been set, and after having
passed a good night, the General is IN
a cheerful mood.
1t appears that Lord Kitchener had
informed the members of his staff thai
he was not going out for ride, bu
later changed his plans. Hence he wa!
alone when the accident occurred.

TO SOLVE THE
RACE PROBLEM
PLANS OF THE NATIONAL SOCIO-
LOGICAL SOCIETY-COAIMPTT
APPOINTED TO STUDY IT.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.--The Ma
tional Sociological Society to consider
the race problem, closed its session to-
day, by the adoption of q series of
resolutions. one of the IEost impor-
tant things done was the creating of a
commission of six members, three from
each race, to lay the race question b.
fore Congress and to aid in the soiu-
ton of the race problem
This Commission is to cooperate
with any commission which may be APP
pointed by the Federal Government,
and to assist in keeping facts, plans,
arguments and efforts for the solu-
ton of the race problem before the
public and the government.
The resolutions adopted declare that
It is the duty of the government to at
ford adequate protection to every Citi-
zen, as his constitutional right. and
that the perpetuty of the Republic is
dependent upon fidelity to this prin-
ciple-
That there can be no master race and
subject race, but all must be equal.
Crimes leading TO mob violence, and
mob violence itself, are deplored, and
the orderly process of law is stated as
the best method of preventing crime.
AS solutions of the race problem. COL
onization. expartriation and segrega-
ton are regarded as. unworthy of fur
| Their consideration
The resolutions further say: I'VE
have faith in the increasing intelli-
gence, industry and thrift of the negro,
inasmuch as during the past 40 years
OF freedom, the negroes have, in spite
of adverse circumstances of an unusu-
al character made rapid progress. The
records show that they pay taxes OF
more than $500, 100000 valuation of real
estates. besides the aid given to their
ecclesiastical and charitable institu-
tons
The increase of educational facilities

campaign. Congressional appropria-
tons i'm aid of education are asked. the
resolutions concluding with this para

Importance OF this race problem. and

CORRESPONDENTS KILLING TIME

TELLING or HER CHANCES.

The following is published in the
San Francisco Bulletin.
WASHINGTON, November 12.--When
ex-Queen Liliuokalani OF Hawaii ar
rives in Washington in the course Of
the next few days TO prosecute her
claim for 100000 for property alleged
to have been taken away from her by
the United states Government she Will
have more attention from the national
legislators than she ever had before.
The Queens claims for DANA ges have
heretofore been treated as a Joke, but
last summer a special commission of
Senator's of which Senator Burton of
Kansas was one, went to Hawaii and
investigated the eX-Queen's claims.
Senator Burton says that he believes
Congress ought TO reimburse Liliuoka-
lani and declares that to vote her $780,
600 would not even be doing justice.
Mr. Burton says that the other SEN
ators who went with him to Hawaii
were impressed in the same way. AS
these Senators are members of the
Senate Committee on the Pacific ISL
ands thy are in a position to have great
weight in any measure looking toward
the relief of Hawairs eX-Queen.

he ought to have something of the kind
and he at once caught at the idea, and
asked me to send him some material.
In one school the superintendent pro-
posed to introduce such matter at once,
in the classes. The state superintendent
is a progressive man, and when ! sug-
geSted that it would be a good plan to
have a book giving briefly the histories
of Hawaii the Philippines Porto Rico
and Alaska, so that American children
may learn something about those pos
sessions he took 1t up quickly and l
think he will carry out the plan in
Iowa. If our promotion committee
would prepare a brief pamphlet and
send copies to the various superinten-
dents, offering more copies for teach
ers and pupils at a nominal sum, the
islands would receive much benefit.
In Washington / did not see a single
department head who was not friend
ly to Hawaii and anxious to do every
thing for her that can be done under
the law. Appropriations require acts
Of Congress and it takes time to get
them, but good result are bound to
come from the general disposition to
help the Islands.
