To the Boston Herald Principal George E. Vincent of the original New York Chautauqua, son of Bishop John H. Vincent, writes: Chautauqua Insti- tution has no connection with any of the seventy-five or eighty Chautauquas scattered throughout the country. It has no control over them. A few of these assemblies are conducted in a creditable and dignified manner. Many of them are "trolley-end'' enterprises, or expurgated street fairs. The word FChautauqua" as a geographical name cannot be copyrighted or protected in any way. Many of the sensational un- dertakings of these assemblies are a source of humiliation to those who have built up the Chautauqua Institu- tior.

GET STOLEN BONDS BACK.
SIS 900 Worth Secured From Gay & Co..
RoatOn. by q SWtndler, All Recovered.

Boston, Dec. l3.-E. H. Gay Co.. bond
brokers Of this city, have succeeded in
obtaining every one of the $4,000 worth
of bonds stolen from them on Sept. 10 by
man who was known in Lynn rs Norman
H. Poor, who has since become known as
Drake, Duncan and Blake. He is one OF
the cleverest swindlers the police have had
to deal with in years. The methodical
manner in which he went about securing
not only 1000 worth Of bonds from E. h.
Cav d Co., but S25 600 from Harris d Co.,
is suggestive Of old time professionals.
The detectives have never been able TO
place him for more than few hours at
time since he left Lynn.
Poor has appeared in Pittsburg, Pa,
where he cashed coupons that had come
due; in Lowell where he was equally sue
cessful in realizing on coupons IN New
York, where he unceremoniously dropped
IS 900 worth OF bonds with Harris, Gates
Co, eluding a trap that had been set for him,
and in Birmingham. Ala, where he turned
over $4,000 worth OF bonds to local bank
The police believe him to be well known
and experienced crook. although the best
descriptions do not make him older than
2s or so wears and do not tally with that OF
any criminal known to the police to be IN
that particular line of work. Poor has
operate ed on large scale and has always
known enough to disappear at the rlgnt
time and to cover his tracks so completely
that the best efforts of the detectives TO
follow him have been unsuccessful. he
obtained the bonds from Gay Il Co. by
means of forged check, but all the
securities have been recovered

CHICAGO PEOPLE ROBBED.
Millions OF Dollars Taken From 1hem
Illegally by Special Assessments.

CHICAGO, Dec. l3.-Property owners OF
Chicago have been mulcted OF millions OF
dollars on special assessments within the
last thirty years. Hundreds OF thousands
of this money have gone into padded pay
rolls and the pockets of contractors. and
the municipal authorities have illegally col
lected 81 100 600 from the taxpayers Tor
public benefits.
This showing is made in the report OF
Haskins and Sells, the expert accountants,
who have been at work two and half yea rs
on the books Of the city's special assesS
ment bureau Their report covers the
thirty years between Oct Q, 1871, and
April /. 1901.
The report shows an apparent deficiency
of IS, ,O4O ,2l4, Of which e. ,0S5,7 is mis-
Appropriation OF funds collected to pay the
eTpenses Of levying and collecting special
assessments. The fund was known as
Fund aW" and was intended to pay salaries
Of officials, clerks and inspectors OF the
special assessment bureau, legal expenses
and court costs.
The old law allowed the bureau to add
per cent. to the estimated cost OF an I'M
provement for expenses. Haskins Selis's g
report shows that the actual cost was lit
tie more than 3 per cent. and that the 81
8S5. .744 was misappropriated. The report
does not trace the disposal Of this misap-
preparation in detail, but Comptroller
McGann says a large share OF 1t was used
to stun payrolls.

GEN. REYES SAYS IT'S USELESS
TO INVADE PANAMA
And VIII Try to Get tho Best Terms for
ColOmbia-Wnl Try to Get Part Of
tho Canal Payment and Have Panama
Assume Part OF COlOmbia's Debt.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Gen. Rafael Reyes,
the Colombian Special Plenipotentiary in
Washington, has definitely decided that 1t
will be useless for his Government to at
tempt an invasion Of the Isthmus OF Pam
anna In view of the determination OF the
United States to preserve the peace OF tho
Isthmus and the independence OF the Pan
anna Republic. He will devote all his on
deavors to that end. hoping to bring about
an amicable adjustment of the differences
between Panama and Colombia, with the
best terms possible for Colombia.
1t Is understood that Gen Reyes will
make an effort, through the good offices
Of the United States, to secure from
Panama a recognition Of Colombia's equi-
ties In the Panama canal, with the object
of obtaining for Colombia part OF the
$40, 900 900 to be paid to the new republic
upon the exchange Of the ratihcations Of
the canal treaty now before the United
States Senate He will also endeavor to
have Panama consent to assume portion
of Colombia's u foreign debt.
Gen. Reyes will probably suggest to the
United States Government that the question
Of its right to prevent the invasion Of the
New Granada treaty Of ls4e be submitted
to arbitration, but he knows in advance
that request Of this character would be
refused. In making, the suggestion his
object would be to place the United States
Government, which has been foremost
among the nations Of the world in uphold
ing the principle Of the settlement of in
ternational disputes by arbitration, in the
position of declining TO arbitrate.
Gen. Reyes said tonight that he might
not accept the Presidency Of Colombia
If he were elected. Before leaving Bogota,
he said. he had renounced his candidacy
for the Office. 1t is generally, believed,
however. that Gen. Reyes will succeed
President Marroouin. He is regarded as
the foremost man Of his country, OF which
he is Vice, President. and until his departure
Of the Colombian military forces. Gen.
Reyes has received word from Colombia
that in a general election, held on Dec. 8
to choose electors who will in turn choose
the President, n majority OF the electors
chosen would vote for him. The electors
will meet in February and the person chosen
by them to be President will be inaugurated
on Aug. Z.
Acting Secretary Of State Loomis to-day
returned formal call which Gen. Reyes
made on him last week.
William l. Buchanan, who was nominated
by President Roosevelt yesterday to be
Minister Plenipotentiary to the Republic
OF Panama on special mission, arrived in
Washington to-day from Buffalo. He had
conferences with President Roosevelt and
Acting Secretary Of State Loomis, from
whom he received final Instructions. MIR.
Buchanan left Washington tonight for
New York, whence he will sail on Tuesday
for Colon. Gen. Reyes called on Mr.. Bu-
chanan to-day, thus indicating his desire
to bring about q resumption Of relations
between Colombia and Panama.
