Il careful and discriminating work Of re-
lief that will systematically do good, has
Just been begun BY representatives Of
the four, chief denominations Of Richmond,
backed by the leading charity organiza-
tions OF the city.
In the past great and apparently in
4surmountable obstacle has been in&the
shape Of the aims that were diverted
Z from It's proper channels and that found
Its way into the hands Of tnposters and
in this necessary overlapping Of tho work
OF the denominations. One denomination
dispensed Its charity funds over a GER
tain section; another came along and
went over the same track Into which the
frauds would soon find their way. There
was no system; there Is none now.
a NEW PLAN.
A few days ago Rev, George II. Wiley,
head Of the Methodist Institute, con-
fceived the idea OF mass meeting for the
purpose OF remedying these evils. But
this meeting has been called off and Mr.
Wiley has fallen In with more wide
spread nnd promising movement. On Fri

Washington, p. c.. Dec. 14th.4
Little attempt is made In official cir
cles to conceal the fact that the admins.
tration expects war with Colombia. It Is
believed that 1t may be some months be-
fcro the little country lands troops on
I,anamanian soil, but 1t Is thought that 1t
is her intention to fight to bring back
into the union, her recalcitrant state,
and this government will have to inter-
vene to maintain the neutrality OF the
isthmus, and law and order on the mar
row strip OF land that connects the
northern and southern continents.
Secures Counsel.
General Reyes. who is the accredited
representative OF Colombia at Wash

president OF his country, will use all
I his Influence to prevent any act OF war

meal RI the HaplIe
It Is likely that the most embarrassing
feature OF the embrogllo. SO far as the
United States are concerned. will be the
attempt which Colombia will make to
have the whole matter referred to The
Hague Tribunal for arbitration. Thls
nation took the first step which almost
forced European governments last spring
Ia cease warfare on Venezuela and send
tLeir claims to The Hague for adjust
u1ent. It Is going to put It in an awk-
ward positionif 1t refuses to REFER It's
own case to that tribunal.
The United states will not allow the
case to 20 to The Hague. This is abb
solutely assured.

Mr. La Fontizo corroboratcd the tes-
timony given by Dr.3 Fisher, Ie said
that before General Wood and DIR. Fisher
started on their trip to the Isle Of Pines,
the latter instructed him (LnIontize) to
write an article concerning Bella1rs. Mr..
aLaFontize said he took the question under
consideration, and decided that as the
matter would be highly sensational. and
In case OF libel suit It would be necessary
to summon Witnesses from tho United

VIM. Delaney, who WAS working in

which had missed fire when the round

the fact that the shot WAS in soft.
sticky formation, instead oi rock,

the face and head and may lose an eye.
DIR. Grant. who il in attendance ON
him, states that there il little danger Of
that, however.
The shaft has just entered the old
river channel encountered in the lower
tunnel and the formation was very soft
almost n mud. where the shot exploded.
Mr., Delaney has been working in the
shaft f"r some time past, having come
here from Snmpter about two months
ago.
