WILL KEEP THEM HERE
Four Alleged Murderers Will
Not 60 to Reno

Sheriff Lamb has decided to keep
the four accused murderers of Jack
Welch in the Winnemucca jail, and
will not take them to Reno as was
planned last week. 1t was not be-
cause any Jail delivery or other
trouble on these mems account was
feared that the transfer was contemp-
lated but solely on account of the
crowded condition of the jail. Within
the last three or four days the number
of inmates of the jail has been greatly
reduced, and unless there is another
rapid increase the sheriff does not
ieve he will be bothered in caring

Advices received by DR.. Herran, the
Colombian charge d'affairs, are to the
effect that United States Minister
Beaupre has, by his lack of tact. con-
tributed largely to the failure of the
Panama canal treaty. 1t is claimed
that Beaupre has been entirely too ar
bitrary in his communications to the
Colombian government and that his
uncompromising pride has offended
the sensitive pride of the Colombians.
Secretary Hay, to whom DR.. Herran
submitted his dispatches, pronounced
the report without foundation. He said
that Beaupre has conducted the nego-
tiations entirely under the direction of
the State department and had repre-
sented the facts as they were. but
in every instance he had done so tact
fully. The administration will make
no further effort to secure the ratifi-
cation of the treaty, other than to ex-
tend the time for ratification II so
requested. Nevertheless, it is obvious
that the State department officials
still believe that the Columbians will
eventually come to their senses and
ratify the treaty as negotiated.

DREYFUS HEARING
 AWAKENS INTEREST
ALL FRANCE IS ANxlOUSLY LOOK ING FORWARD TO MEETING OF THE COMMISSION WHICH WILL DECIDE ON THE APPEAL.

Paris, December 1.-France Is looking forward with the gravest interest to the meeting tomorrow of the commission which will advise Minister of Justice Valle on the question whether he shall or shall not grant Dreyfus' appeal for the revision of the sentence of the court martial at Rennes Though a revision is foreshadowed by the consideration given to Dreyfus petition, the reappearance of the affair bids fair to arouse q feeling even stronger than the excitement which prevailed while the fornier captain of artillery was undergoing trial and while he was imprisoned on Devils Island.
 The government believes the comnis. sion will advise a revision and is pre- pared to submit the case to the court of cessation, which can recommend it to the court of war but which, 1t is be- lieved will itself render dccls.on

Financial Difficulties Which Have Been umuang Since the Disastrous Crusade Ne" York With the Restoration Ho Cume Crash Which Deprps ah of All Property
 Controlled by Him in Zion City yH Makes Last Frantic Appeal for Money

Chicago, December 1-Financial diff culties, which began during the crusade of John Alexander Dowie. the self-styled Elijah H." and his restoration host to New York, a month ago, and which have been rapidly increasing since Dowies return, culmnated tonight in the federal court taking possession of all the property controlled by Dowie in Zion City, Ills
 This town, which was founded two years ago by Dowie. has population of more than 10000, is the general headquarters for Dowie's church. and is said to rep resent an expenditure of S20,OOO00O.
 Frederick M. Blount. cashier of the Chi cago National bank, and Albert D. Cur rier, a law partner of Congressman Bou- telle, were appointed receivers of the property. Their bonds were fixed at s1Oc.- 900 by Judge Kohlsaat of the United States district court, who made the ap- pointment on the petition of several cred itors. The receivers left for Zion City tonight to take possession of the prop erty.
 The bankruptcy proceedings against Dswie were based on the allegation that he Is insolvent, and that while in this financial condition he committed an act of bankruptcy by making preferential payment on November to the Streeter Lumber company for s3770.
 Dowie has been hard pressed by his creditors, especially since it was an- nounced that his recent mission to New York had proved unsuccessful finan- cially.
 Dowie is known to have accumulated a large sum as the head of the Christian Catholic church, the assets of the organi- zation being estimated at between $2O,000,- GOO and $30,00O 900. There was a large out lay of money, however, when Zion City

 The receivers. with their attorneys and Custodian Redieski, with six deputy mar shals. went out to Zion City tonight to serve upon Dowie the notice of the re- ceivership. Redieski and his deputies went to the bank. while the others called upon Dowie at his residence. As the offi- eers were about to demand admittance to the bank, a man ran from the rear door. One of the deputies overlook him and a second came running from the bank, shouting, Let me have those papers; will get away with them...
 Redieski threatened to place them under arrest unless they returned at once to the bank He then placed the bank and three men under guard. While this was taking place at the bank, the receivers and their attorneys called upon Dowie and read to him the petition, and an or der of court which placed Zion City in the hands of a receiver.
 After hearing the petition, Dowie lock- ed himself up with several of his leading subordina, es He refused to allow him self to be seen or to make any state ment, merely sending out word that he had nothing to say. The order of the court issued today compells Dowie to appear In court December II.
 It was nearly midnight when the re- cevers left Dowie. Although he would make no general statement. he declared to the receivers that the entir proceeding in court was unnecessary, as he was en- tirely solvent He declared that the re- ceivership would be very short as he would immediately pay all he owed, and secure the discharge of the receivers.
