Paris, Nov. 11.-carlos Calderon
writes long letter TO the Paris edition
OF the New York Herald, defending the
conduct of the Colombian government
which he denies was opposed to the
construction OF the Panama canal. He
says. however. that the desire Of
Colombia was to see the canal built by
the French campany. He declares that
the Hay -Herran treaty was prejudicial
TO colombia's fiscal interests and a
wound to the national dignity. Senor
Calderon expresses surprise at the fav-
orable attitude OF the French press,
He says further that not one person OF
distinction took part in the revolution
OF the Isthmus OF Panama. which he
charges was due chiefly to the inter-
vention Of the cosmopolitan element,
composed principally OF American in
habIting the cities OF Colon and PAN
anna. Senior CaIdron declares finally
that recent events. on the isthmus
means the total suppression OF French
influence.

ARMENIAN IS ASSASSlNATED
Young Man Flees to America but
Vengeance Overtakes Him.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE friends OF
Roopian Dyeian, young Armenian
who has been found dead in bed, are OF
the opinion that he was murdered and
classes his death with the assassina-
tions OF Armenians which have been
taking place OF late IN different parts
OF the old world.
Dyeian was lutfocated by the gas
which escaped from an open jet in his
room and the ,coroner's inquest which
investigated the affair declared that he
had either committed suicide or had
met his death accidently, there being
no direct evidence to support either
theory.
1t is qaid by people living in the Hat
building in which Dyeian had taken
rooms with an Armenian family, that
on two nights recently a strange man
was seen In the halls. 1t Is thought
by the friends of Dyeian that the man
made his way into the room where the
young man vas asleep and turned on
the gas.
Dyeian had but recently arrived IN
America, having been obliged to
leave his native land on account of
his Identification with the revolution
ary party.
