COLON, Dec. lt.-lue Uniteu olaeCo
cruiser Atlanta, Commander VIM. H.
Turner, returned here last night from
the Gulf Of Darien She discovered
on December 18th detachment Of Co
lombian troops, numbering, according
to their own statements, 1900 to
1000 men, at Titunati, on the western
side of the gulf, just north OF the
mouth of the Arato river Turner
sent ashore an officer, who conyersed
with the Colombian commander The
latter protested energetically against
the presence of the American war
ship in Colombian waters, inasmuch
as war between Colombia and the
United States had not been declared,
and politely requested the Atlanta 70
leave the gulf. because 1t belonged TO
Colombia. Turner ignored the re-
quest and the Atlanta returned TO Co.
Ion to- report to Rear Admiral Cogh-
Ian. The Colombians are, 1t is clear,
busy with protective and strengthen
ing measures. Although they treated
the Americans courteously, they de-
cideGly resented the presence Of the
Atlantas landing party.
COLON. Dec. l7.--Lieutenant Har-
len Fl. Perrill was the officer OF the
Atlanta who was sent ashore.
Through the courtesy of the naval o.
ficers, the correspondent Of the Asso-
ciated Press accompanied the party,
A small schooner containing a hun
dred armed Colombians met whale
boat conveying the American party
and told Commander Perrill that Gen
eral Daniel Ortiz, commander-in-chief
or the Colombian forces Of the Allan
tic and Pacific, had a large camp q
mile away on the mainland. They
requested Perrill to land and confer
with the general After temporarily
returning TO the Atlanta, Perrill start
ed toward shore Great excitement
prevailed among the Colombians at
the party's approach, and there were
cries of viva Colombia!' and sud
den concentration Of Colombian So!
diers on the beach. For some time
the situation had the appearance Of an
ambuscade. When Perril Went
ashore General ortiz insisted that ne
should ily The Colombian flag at the
bow OF the whaIeboat or lower the
American flag at her stern, because
she was In Colombian waters. Perriil
replied that he did not have Colon
bian flag and refused to lower the
stars and stripes. Ortiz then protest
ed in writing against the presence Q.
the American warship in Colombian
waters, and Perrill conveyed the mes
sage to Commander Turner. During
the conference ashore Perrill was sur
rounded by 0rtizs staff, while few
PAGES inland there was semicircle
of armed sentinels. The beach in
both directions was also lined with
sentinels. Perrill was not allowed te
leave at the point where he had land

it is fact that probably few
have the personal gifts 70 devise and
set in motion method adapted to
their own business. No method yet
devised is universally applicable and
many that have worked successfully
under the man who inaugurated
them have broken down under his
successors. But it is, we believe, q
fact that practically without excep-
ton they have proved satisfactory to
employer and workman when wise
ly managed. They DO so because
they do not assume human nature to
be other than it is, and do not at
tempt to revolutionize the whole in
dustrial system. These are he facts
which seem to warrant Mr.. Carnegie's
confident prediction that as time goes
on the solution of the labor problem
will be found IN the general adoption
of proft-sharing. And it is to be
remarked that the more general the
recognition of the principle and the
the wider its application the more
rapidly will it spread. At present
only exceptional enthusiasm and ex-
ceptional gifts can devise and apply
it; but when it becomes more COM
MONT will be only q matter of imi-

nowadays requires exceptional
courage, because it is still IN the ex-
perimen tai stage; when it has passed

practically no defence, and be

ellen against testimony that he
could not hope to disprove, and
worked upon the sympathies Of
the jury holding that Ames owed
his dawafall to "politics and the
curse Of liquor" While there

degeneracy of the accused it was
at the same time used to play up
on the spmpathies of the jury,
and that it had It's effect was
after wards seen by the fact of the
jury having deliberated twenty
four hours before arriving at
their verdict. There is in the
case Of Ames an disqualification
of the old adage: How the nigh
ty have fallen. For years DR..
Ames, physician and politician,
hasbeen the idolof the people of
the CITY of Minneapolis. No man
in the Twin Cities has done more
for charity in the practice of his
profession than DR.. Ames. He
was never too tired or too drunk
TO administer to a sick call, par
ticularily if the patient was poor,
and DR.. Ames never stopped to
inquire where his pay was com
ing from. Twice before was he
mayor of Minneapolis, and under
each administration heconducted
the F'louer City as "wide open
town. Ames never attempted
to do anything in the way of re-
formfor his city, but his pleasing
personality and genial disposl-
ton made fast friends for him,
and while his weaknesses were
wei known the mantle OF charity
was always thrown AS a cloak
oyer them. A few months ago
Ames finished a miserable at
tempt at an administration, and
when the corruption in his offic-
ial affairs commenced to come to
light he made an ignominious re
treat, resigned and became a
fugitive from justice. When To-
Gated in a little town in New
Hampshire he attempted to fight

polls. He was sick and took oc-
cassion to let everyone know it,
He magnifed his condition and
aroused sympathy. Pale and
em2ciated he faced his jury and
sat quietly and listened to the
story Of his malfeasance and cor
ruption in Office. His attorneys
counted entirely upon sympathy,
but the jury did not regard
justice in that light, to be cast
aside simply because a prisoner
guilty OF the worse crimes that
can b committed againsta people
happened to be in poor health.
They did their plain duty and a
verdict of guilty was returned by
them. q

SHOULD MAIZE "A NEW MAP.

AT the meeting Of the county
board last week the town OF Bell
was created. The people who
have been enaeavoring to secure
the new town have had many
things to contend with, and the
manner and shape Of the new
town is certainly most unsatis-
factory when it is considered
that there is little in the way of
territory, wealth or taxable prop
erty in the new town. The peo'
pie from the town of Bell wanted
to secure certain redistricting
of territory in Bayfield,, Port
Wing and Washburn in order to
give them sufficient territory to
stand the responsibilities Of q
town of their own. The upshot
of the whole thing was that to
get a new town at all the people
of Bell we're obliged to take a
niggardly piece of territory
owned principally by the Cornu
copia Land Company off the
western part of the town of
bayfield, Supervisors are
loath to permit any property
tdat adds to the tax roll to get
away from them, and it is for
this reason that the formation of
a new town is a most difficult
matter. But when one comes to
impartially consider the political
formation of Bayfield, county,
one of the richest counties of the
entire north, the wonder is that
there have been but seven differ
ent towns in it, and that seven
chairmen coming from the differ
-ent towns manage the affairs of SO
great a county. 1t is almost
ludicrous when one stops to
think that there are more mem
bers and managers of the library
board of Washburn, or of Bay
field, than there are of Bayfield,
county; that it takes more school
clerks and officials of the town
of Washburn than of supervisors
for Bayfield, county. There
ought to be a complete redis-
tricting of Bayfield, county, and
the different towns ought to be
in some way put on the map SO
that they would equally repre-
sent the different towns in mat
ter of taxable property, popula-
ton, etc, Washburn, Iron River
and Bayfield, should jump from
out their swaddling clothes and in
corporate as cities, and the mem
bership of the county board be
increased in a manner that would
represent the Importance of the
county, and bring more heads
to the government of our
rapidly growing county.
GOVERNOR AF'OLLETTE seems
determined that the legislature
take some action regarding legis-
lsbtion to regulate freight charges
in the state Of Wisconsin, IF
the lawmakers follow out the
suggestion they will have to re-
main in session for several weeks.
AS most of them have their spare
cash all used up they will likely
want to get home and go to work
in preference to serving the
dear people any longer than they
absolutely have to.
The present legislature will be
memorable for two things.
First: For the things that it
has not accomplished, and second,
for having spent more time and
done less than any preceding
