Panama, Nov. 28.-rhe slight oppo-
sition to the ratification of the canal
treaty which prevailed on the isthmus
a day or two ago now appears to have
been overcome. 1t is absolutely GER
tain now that the treaty will be rati-

In governmental circles here it is

Colon, Nov. 2S.-The junta at Pan
anna has notified all agents that the
Lazaretto tax will be abolished De-
cember 8. This tax has been a most
exorbitant one and was imposed for
the purpose of meeting fictitious ex-
penses in connection with the keeping
of a quarantine ship in Panama bay.
The local press has called the at

the present excessive postage rates,
which have been doubled since the

a reduction in these rates will soon

Cartagena, at the time he was pre-
vented by the Cartagenan authorities
from boarding the royal mail steamer
Trent, had any purpose of taking pas.
sage to Colon. 1t is believed the con-
sui simply desired to pay a social
visit to the officers of the ship. Such
visits are now absolutely forbidden by
the regulations governing the port of
Cartagena.
The naval authorities here have re-
ported the incident to Washington and
the question of sending a warship to
Cartagena depends upon the instruc-
tons received from Washington.
Whether or not Consul Ellsworth
wanted to leave Cartagena, it is a fact
that number of people of that city
recently broke into the hotel where
the United States consul resides and
created disorder. The consul, how
ever, was not molested.

Captain Carter Soon to Gain Release
from Prison.

Washington, Nov. 26.-By a deci-
sion reached by Attorney General
Knox yesterday Captain Oberlin M.
Carter will be released from the Fort
Leavenworth prison on the 2Sth inst
Any doubt ON the matter arose from
the question as to whether or not the
six months during which Captain Car
ter was incarcerated at Governors
Island, when he sought to obtain his
release through habeas corpus pro-
ceedings, should be counted as por-
ton of the five years term to which
he was sentenced. The attorney gen.
eral holds that this six months should
be counted and this, with the remis-
sion of the time granted on account
OF good behavior, will secure Carter's
release on the 2Sth.

About 1:15 o'clock last evening Will liam c. Moore severely and all but fatally stabbed R. H. Parker in Hans Herlick's saloon on Washington street. 6oth men were drinking, Parker having been the worse for liquor for a day or two. The particulars of their alterca- tion are not fully known, and it is be- lieved the quarrel was of nasty origin due to over-indulgence in strong drink. Those in the saloon at the time were not really aware that anything serious was going on till some one Saw the knife in Moore's hand and restrained him from using it further.
 Moore made three Slashes at his an- tagonist and scored each time one wound being on the breast over the heart, another over the stomach and the third below the left hip. The two body wounds are serious owing to their location over vital parts, the one over the heart being the most dangerous.
 The wounded man was taken to the office of Dr. Foss. who dressed and sewed up the wound over the stomach and the one on the leg. The other wound was left unclosed for the present pending developments. as it was badly inflamed and it could not be determined lS- It is the opinion of the physician. how ever. that the cardiac cavity was not | invaded and unless septic poisoning has | occurred his recovery will he but d matter of short time.
