GERr1ANY DASHES
COLUMBIA'S HOPES

Washington, Dec. 1.-Mr. Beaupre,
our minister to Bogota. has received
several different propositions from the
Colombian government, each contain
ing some indirect method of rectifying
what the Colombians themselves now
regard as fatal blunder of permitting
the Hay-Herran treaty to expire last
September.
Mr.. Beaupre for his part is using his
best efforts to make it clear to the Co.
lombian officials that the treaty is
dead beyond resurrection and that he
cannot even conduct negotiations look
ing to the acquisition from Colombia
of right of way across the isthmus,
located in an Independent republic,
over which Colombia has no authority.
Germany has recognized Panama as
sovereign and Independent state. The
first secretary of the German embassy
to-day addressed a note to NJ. Bunau-
Varilla, minister of Panama, informing
him that the German government, hav-
ing received notification of the creation
of the new republic and has formal
assurances that Panama assumed and
would execute all obligations contained
in the treaties between Germany and
Colombia, SO far as they affected the
territory over which Panama is now
sovereign, his majesty, the Emperor
and King, extended full recognition to
the new republic and long life.
In view of the precedent set by Ger
many, it is expected that the other
European powers will grant an equal
ly full recognition to the new repub-
lie and exempt from all obligations, SO
far as the Panama government is con-
cerned. the territory five miles on each

known as the canal strip.

decisions were uniformly against him.
Atkins appealed from the decision of
the State Supreme Court to the Fed
eral Supreme Court, alleging that the
statute is in violation of the first sec
tion of the fourteenth amendment OF
the constitution. in that It denied him
due protection of the law and deprived
him of his property without due pro-
cess.
Referring to the only other decision
Of the court on the eight-hour question,

court sustained the law of Utah fixing
an eight-hour day for miners employed

tention to the fact that while the Utah
case involved private interests. the
present case involves employment on
public works only.
The opinion was based on the theory
that all the municipalities of state
are the creations of the state; that
work for them is of a public character
and does not infringe on the personal
liberty of any one.

to pay 40 cents or more, which is 2
cents above the scale.
Many miners who left on account of
the strike are returning. and new ones
are coming in on every train. 1t is not
known where all the miners can be
housed that will be needed to operate
the mines properly. Many new houses
have been built in Louisville this sum-
mer. but still there is great scarcity,

The principal mines which resumed

The Lister mine had SO men working
to-day. There are five or six country
banks about Erie. Lafayette and west

about rs men. The Gorham and Fox
mines, at Marshall. did not work to-
day, nor did the Industrial at Superior.
About twenty men reported for work
at the Monarch mine at Mitchell, but
little coal was taken out. About 100
men will be working there tomorrow.

THE KANSAS EIGHT HOUR LAW IS
SUSTAINED BY SUPREME COURT

Washington, Dec. 1.-The United
States Supreme Court yesterday af-
firmed the constitutionality of the
eight-hour law of the state of Kansas
regulating labor on public works. JUS
tice Harlan said, in handing down the
opinion, that if the statute is mischiev-
Gus, the responsibility rests with the
Legislatures, and not the courts. Chief
Justice Fuller and Justices Brewer and
Peckham dissented.
The Kansas law whose validity was
brought into question in the suit was
enacted in 1891 and provided that eight
iktrs should constitute days work
/6r workmen employed by or on behalf
of the state, or by any county or city
or other municipality in the state. 1t
also prohibits contractors from requir-
ing laborers engaged on work for the
state to perform more than eight
hours labor in day. Both fine and
Imprisonment are provided for viola
,tjon of the law.

Harvester Trust Discharges Men.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-Following its an
nounced policy Of cenlralizaton the
International Harvester Company has
decided to lay off 1900 of its $4,000 en-
ployes and thus effect saving of
$5,000,000 year. The first step in the
direction of economy was taken Sat
urday night when 1900 employees of
the Deering division were notified
their services were no longer required.
These men were employed in the fac
tories at Irondale.
1t was announced that the Ironda!e
men were not the only Chicago en-
ployes of the company who were to

Denver. Dec. IA News special
from Louisville, Colo, last night says:
The full dinner pail brigade of the
Northern coal fields returned to the
mines at the blowing of the whistles
this morning, and the wheels of indus
try commenced turning once again.
The idleness at the mines that has en-
sued for the past three weeks was
broken. Amid the shouts of the min
ers at 4:42 this afternoon the first
train load of coal that has left Louis
vile for about three weeks pulled out
of the yards for Denver. 1t consisted
OF twenty cars of lump and slack.
The output of the Northern field was
not as large as was expected. 1t would
not reach over 1900 tons. Several of
te miners did not wish to start to
work. as it is the last day of the
month. but all will be digging to-mor-
row. The machine men had not cut
sufficient coal for all the miners to
load, SO some had to come home.
There was a slight furry at the Mon
arch mine, at Mitchell, this morning
- account of the wage scale. The
new scale places the Monarch mine
in the Louisville district, and makes
the price 38 cents per ton for loading
coal after the machines. where 1t had
been 40 cents per ton before the strike.
On account of the roof being hard to

from Tennessee, will introduce bill for
the repeal of the ilteeath amendment to
the federal constitution. Senator Car
mack would contribute toward tue soln-
ton of the vexing negro question by
eliminating the enlranchised negroes as
a political factor. This effort of Senator
Carmack, he believes, will be supported
by every southern representative in Con
gress. To Senator Carmacks mind the
surest plan of solving the negro question
is elimination from politics. Should the
fifteenth amendment be repealed, the
question Of treating with the negro
would be left to the States. Had this
been done years ago, Senator Carmack
thinks, the southern States would have
been spared much cxcoriation and un-
just abuse. BY repeating the amend
ment the question is settled at its
source. This is what Senator Carmack
aims at. Another view entertained by
Senator Carmack anent the negro ques-
tion is for the separation of the races.
