buy in Illinois and being easily traceable

PANAMA 5Nov. 27.-An American travel
ing mar, wEo has just arrived here from
Buena Ventura on the steamer Manavia,

unrest IN Cauca and Antioquia continues

An outbreak was recently started in Cali,
the business center of the Cauca depart

pressed IL and arrested the ring leaders,
who sufferecf no harm, probably because of
the sympatsies OF the officials with the
movement.
The secess. on movement this man says
u serious. gut Ii Is impossible to foretell
what Will b. done, or when any step will
be undertaken. He also says there is no
evidence of any warlike or aggressive

Gus had happened. The discomfort In
Cauca and Antioquia arises from the same
causes that lied TO the movement for indie

acknowledge the provisional government
and also denied it's demand for the with
drawal of former Finance Minister Galvan.

added that the United States government
cannot and will not interfere In any man
ner with the composition of the arbitration
board named by the government of Presi-

German Army Administration At

tiveness of the Firing Line.

BERLIN, Nov. T.-The German army
administration believes it has at last found
spectacles which will enable private SOL
diers to shoot straight. 1t has been quite
a problem to increase the effectiveness of
the firing line by having glasses enabling
the wearers, who make such percentage
in every German company, to see true, the
difficulty being that the soldier is unable
to adjust his glasses and often must look
through the edge instead of the middle of
the lens. This difficulty is obviated by
the insertion of a special aiming lens.

the hot days Of the autumn maneuvers
that soldiers on the firing lire were occa-

WESTERN COAL TRADE,
Business Remains Sluggish, with
Some Activity I'm Spots.

Some Activity I'm Spots.
CHICAGO, Nov 27-The Black Diamond,
official organ of the coal trade, reviewing
the Western coal markets, tomorrow will
say:
Notwithstanding several factors which
should result in increasing activity In West
ern coal centers the trade remains sluggish
and has shown very little change the past
week. If anything the market has been
quieter this week than at any time since
the early part of October. This is proba-
bly, due to the holiday on Thursday and to
the fact that the temperature has been
moderate for this season Of the year In
most parts Of the West. I
Elements in the situation which should
have stimulated demand this week include
the continuation of the coal strike In far
Western territory: continued cold weather
in the extreme Northwest and an increasing
shortage of cars on some of the north
and-south lines in Illinois, Indiana and
throughout Western territory, including the
Missouri valley. If dealers stocks at most
points were not so large and there was not
such a supply OF coal in some OF the dock
territory 1t is possible that these features
would have contributed much .ctivity to
the situation and would have had an al
most immediate effect. 1t is the general
opinion of the trade, however, that any
stimulus which comes to the coal trade
will only be after fortnight or longer
of severe weather. Then dealers will be-
gin to buy coal more freely and prices will
show a tendency at times to advance
slightly. especially on leading domes-
tic descriptions of bituminous coal.
During the week there has been very little
tendency toward recession in prices The
active consuming season is so near at hand
that shippers and operators are not in
cllned to make any price concession and
probably will not make any until wei to-
ward next spring.
THE anthracite trade shows very little
, change from week ago. The rumor which
was given circulation some OF the news
papers the early part OF the week of a
POSSIBLE advance in prices Dec. ] Is without
foundation With the operations closed
down part OF the time in nearly the ell
fire anthracite region and with most of the
storage room filled with surplus coal such
a policy is out of the question and any
attempt to enforce it would undoubtedly
result disastrously."

OF the large engine ''Ys" or supports are
broken and 1T will be necessary to repair
them before it will be safe for the Maine
to increase her speed beyond twelve knots,
although the vessels maximum speed is
eighteen knots. The Navy Department Of

as the vessel can make only twelve knots
she surely would not be in maneuvering

At the Governors Office last evening II
was stated that Governor Durbin bad re-
ceived no intimation of the shooting ARRAY
at Miller's Station until after it was all over
and the murderers had been captured and
taken to Chicago. The impression at the
Governors office was that the local authori-
ties of Lake county were glad to receive
the assistance of Chicago officers and
equally glad to have the murderers taken
back to Illinois. There was no reputation
for the return OF the prisoners to Illinois
they were removed informally.

Sheriff Wanted the Men.

HAMMOND, Ind, Nov. 27.-The capture
of the Chicago outlaws near here to-day
caused much excitement. Sheriff Daugh-
erty, of Lake county, desired TO have the
prisoners kept here. but the men were TAX
en- at once to Chicago. There was much
dissatisfaction among the Lake county au-
thorities because the Illinois officers came
into Indiana for the prisoners and took
them out of the State at once.

COLON, Nov. 2.-The junta at Pans ma
has notified all steamship agents that the
lazaretto tax will be abolished Dec. 8. This
tax has been q most exorbitant one and was
imposed for the purpose OF making fictitious
expenses in connection with the keeping up
of a quarantine ship in Panama bay. The
local press has called the attention of the
isthmian government to the present excess
i've postage rates, which have been doubled
since the last revolution. 1t is expected
that a reduction in these rates will soon be
enforced.

vitation, but when half way UP the gang

and turned back. The Colombian authorf-
ties would not permit the Trent TO take any
passengers, mail or cargo from Colombian
ports for Colon.
Consul Ellsworth told the people on the
Trent that he had been repeatedly insulted
by the Colombian officials since the recog-
milton of the independence OF Panama by
the United States.
COLON, Nov. 27.-Nothing can be learned
here concerning a statement that Luther
+. Ellsworth, the United States consul at
Cartagena, at the time he was prevented
by the Cartagenian authorities from board

purpose of taking passage to Colon. 1t is
a fact, however, that number or people
of Cartagena recently broke into the hotel
where the United States consul resides and
created disorder. The consul, however, was
not molested.
