Menominee, Mich, Dec. 22.-Fire
broke out in the saloon and hotel
Of James McKash, on Grand avenue,
early this morning, and resulted fatal
ly for one man and probably fatally for
another, who was badly burned.
Joseph Beady, aged 2S, and single,
whose home was Humboldt, Mich,
and who was employed in the Me-
nominee Sugar factory, burned to
death. He slept upstairs and when
awakened by the smoke and flames
had to go thru burning room to the
stairs. When he was halfway down
he succulnbed to the heat and dropped
dead. F'iremen pulled his charred
body from the ruins some time after.
James Verocheck, who also slept
upstairs, whose home is at Two Riv-
ers, Mich, now lies at ST. Joseph's
hospital in a critical condition, and
is not expected to live. He ran from
the building with his Undertaking
wrapped in flames and rolled in the
snow, succeeding in extinguishing the
fire. He was taken to the hospital,
where it was found he was badly
burned.
James McKash and his wife and
two children slept in the rear Of the
building and escaped with slight
burns. James Mcdonald, Joe Vero-
check and Fred !. I4ensky, strangers,
also Ed McKash, escaped by jumping
from second-story windows in their
night clothes Most all of them were
burned some, but not seriously.
The building was owned by the Me-
nominee River Brewing company and
valued at $4,000, and insured for
$1,000. It will be rebuilt.

Moody to Rear Admirals Glass and
Coghlan. Should the Colombians on
Pinos island decline to take warning
from any American naval officer. that
they must leave Panama territory,
force will not be used to compel them
to depart. They will be virtually
blockaded, and should they sail away
they will be accompanied by one or
more American naval vessels, which
will prevent them, If possible, without
firing a shot, from disembarking on
the isthmian mainland.
Movement of Ships.
Movements of a number of naval
vessels to the listhmus, reported to
the navy department to-day. have no
new significance. All the movements
were ordered previously and an
nounced at the time. The armored
cruiser New York, which left Bre-
merton, Wash, on Saturday, for san
Francisco, on her way to Panama, is
the regular flagship Of Rear Admiral
Glass, and he will shift his flag to
her when She reaches the isthmus.

e Washington Dec, 22.--The sensa-
.tional information, that Colombian
troops had landed on territory of the
Panama republic came to the govern
ment yesterday in telegram from
Oscar Melrose, United States consul at
Colon. Naturally the news caused
uneasiness as it is realized that con-
Sfiict may be precipitated. Every effort
will be made, however, to aVolo d
clash between the COlolnb1ans. ana
limited States marines.
r Fortunately for the desire Of this
government to- avoid bloodshed or
anything savoring Of hoshntles the
Colon bans are not on the lsthmlan
mainland but on Pinos island. IL
will. therefore, be impossible for them
TO make any march into the interior,
or in fact, to land on the isthmus 1t
self without the knowledge or some
united States naval vessel IN lsthmlan
waters The yacht Mayf1ower, it Is
.Colombians to leave Pinos island,
which is claimed by the republic of
Panama not only on account OF its
geographical proximity to the 18TH
mus but because it was politically
@attached to the former Colombian
department of Panama, now the Pa
nama republic. tf-+
The troops in the Colombian eXpe-
.dition are supposed to be those which
left Cartagena or the mouth Of the
3Atrato river last week on the Colon
tbian gunboat Cartagena. Their num-
der was reported to be 500. but the
government doubts this, probably be-
cause of some definite information as
to the strength of the expedition
which it is not willing to make known.
The troops which were at the mouth
of the Atrato river apparently num-
#bered 500, according to the report or
Commander Turner, Of the cruiser At
:lanta, who located them there. They
were under General Ortiz, the acting
COMMUNICATING chief Of the Colombo
Iarmy, in the absence Of General
EReyes. 1t is supposed that the force

There Is no doubt, however, that some

Washington, Dec. 22.-Secretary
Hitchcock has notified the lumbermen
who submitted bids at the Cass Lake
sale on Dec. 5 that contracts will be
awarded this week, and that the sue
cessful bidders will be notified of the
acceptance of their proposals by tele-
gram. The secretary has received a
number of inquiries from competitors
who, if their proposals are not ac-
cepted, want their certified checks re-
turned so that the money may be
used again on the 2Sth when bids for
tim Der in the Minnesota forest reserve
are to be opened. Action on the bids
was fastened because it was desirable
to release the forfeit money posted by
bidders. which amounted to about a
million dollars.

FUNERALS WITH
UNION LABELS.
Chicago Livery Drivers Union Con
siders Plan to Settle Strike
by Arbitration.
Licensed Cabmen Will Not Aid the
Strikers by Refusing Livery
Business. s

Chicago, Dec. 22.-MembersE of the
livery drivers union met to-day to
consider an arbitration plan to settle
their strike. The plan grew out Of a
meeting of the committee of employ
ers and representatives Of the union
last night.
There is by no means any certainty
as yet that arbitration will be accept
ed. The liverymen are bitter. They
are smarting under losses, but not yet
sick of the fight. The drivers, while
in more tractable mood, consider
far, and are not disposed to give in.
The drivers attemptd to gain assur-
ances from the licensed cabn1en that
the latter would refuse livery business.
In this they did not succeeds. Al VA. &
While the arbitration was being con-
sidered to-day news, was received Of
the first union label funeral" since
the strike began. The funeral was ar
ranged by Undertaken G.. M. Marks,
the body of the deceased being re-
moved in a dead" wagon bearing a
placard proclaiming the vehicle to be
owned by an undertaken paying the
union scale.
It was also the first funeral In
which a procession of carriages was
supplied to the mourners. There were
six carriages labeled like the inpro-
vised hearse.
The funeral of John J. Kelly was
held Under cover Of darkness last
night on account Of the possibility of
violence. Disturbances had been an
nounced before the recall of pickets.
After simple home services an under
takers wagon conveyed the remains to
railroad depot from which the
| corpse was shipped to ST. Paul.
Police Prohibit Pickets.
j. r. Wadsworth. secretary, and
Charles Stevens, business agent of the
| liverymen's union, were summoned
before Chief O'Neil last night and told
in decidedly plain language that any
differences the union might have
would have to be settled away from
the houses Of mourning.
"This picketing of the homes from
which funerals are being heldSis be-
You'd the liberation OF a civilized COM
munity,' said Chief O'Neil. ~ our
zeal has carried you beyond the pale
| of endurance, and such an unheard-o OF
thing as. carrying labor troubles to the
houses of. the dead will not be allowed

stances will I permit picketing of any
kind around a house where a funeral

Richmond, Ind, Dec. 22-Dr. David w.
Dennis, head of the biology and chemistry
department of Earlham college, this city,
and one of this states advanced thinkers,
has advanced a novel idea that is causing
much attention. He holds that condemned
criminals sentenced to the gallows or the
electric chair should be made of service
to humanity as material for experiments
with disease germs.
: He proposed that condemned criminals
be inoculated with germs that would not
infect animals other than human beings
because he says there is no other way by
which certain disease germs, such as ty-
phoid fever. can be studied.

IF this is not sufficient, the repre-

no sympathy from the European pow
ers in any move she may make on
Panama which inevitably would IN
volve her in war with the United

The members of the diplomatic
CORPS have been informed by General
Reyes himself that he fears that ne
can with difficulty check his people
much longer. General Reyes is not
talking for publication, but to sew

confided his fears and has said that ne
