ton.
The senate committee on privileges
and elections met recently to outline
a policy to be pursued in investigating
the protests filed against Senator Reed
Smoot being permitted to retain his
seat, and decided that before taking
further steps in the matter, Senator
Smoot should be given opportunity to
make reply to the charges.
Senator Burrows, chairman of the
committee, was instructed to notify
Senator Smoot of the decision of the
committee and receive any reply he
may desire to make in writing.
In addition to the innumerable petit
tons filed with the committee for the
expulsion of Senator Smoot, two pro
tests from citizens of Utah were pre-.
scented and briefly considered by the
committee.
These protests charged Mr.. Smoot
with being polygamist. They also
charge that the Norman church, Of
which Mr. Smoot is an apostle, holds
it's own laws to be superior to those
of the state, and they contend the
church still stands for polygamy.

COLUMBIA RMYD|SAPPEARS
CRUISER CARRYING TROOPS DID
NOT LAND ON PANAMA COAST
Uncle Sans Warships Keeping an
Eagle Eye Open to Apprehend Them
If They Attempt to Land Soldiers
Indians Indifferent-The Colombians
May Have Landed in Gulf of Darien.

Colon, Dec. 14.-Through the exam
ination Of the san Bias coast made by
the u. s. 8. Atlanta and the converted
cruiser Maynower, both Of which YES
sells have returned here. it has been
clearly established that the Colombian
cruisers General Pinzon and Carriage
ma appeared in the gulf of Darien
about 36 hours after they were report
ed as having left Cartagena. No reli-
able evidence, however, could be OBJ
tanned to show that any of the troops
carried by the cruisers had been land
ed, either on the gun coast or north
west thereof.
The Atlanta and the Mayfower made
thorough inspection Of the entire
vicinity. 1t was learned that at one
coast point the Cartagena embarked a
small quantity of naval stores, a few
bullOcks, some corn and so pieces of
zinc roofing, but no information could
be obtained as to the direction taken
by the cruiser thereafter. 1t has been
reported that Colombian troops were
landed at a certain point on the Pana-
ma coast, but the Atlanta was present
at this place at the time when, &C
cording to the report, the troops should
have been landed and saw nothing.
| All officers found the attitude of the
Indians to be Indifferent and even re-
pellant The traditions of the Indians
for centuries have been against per-
hitting aliens in their territory and
these traditions they still maintain.
They often declined to answer the
questions Of the interpreters and ON
several occasions their information
was found to be misleading.
The information obtained by the At
lanta and Mayf1ower indicates either
that the Colombian troops have been
returned to Cartagena or that they
have been landed at some point on the
coast between Cartagena and the gull
Of Darien and may be proceeding
thence toward Cauca.
