Flag of Panama.

NEW YORK. Nov. T.-From the fore

the flag of the Republic OF Panama, and on
board were the special commissioners sent
by the republic to the United States.
The commissioners are DR.. Manuel E. Am
ador and FREDERICK Boyd, and with them
are Carlos Arosemena, secretary and Arch
ibald Boyd, attache.
The City of Washington was in the center
of trouble at Colon and received ON board
large number Of women and children ow-
ing to a general fear of clash between the
insurrectionists and the Colombian troops.
There were 500 of these troops in Colon who
demanded transportation by rail to Pan
ANA, but the authorities refused to take
them They marched down to the railroad
terminal and were stopped by United
States marines from the United States
cruiser Nashville. The marines had run flat
cars laden with cotton bales in front of
the depot and filed the windows with
bales of cotton. and other bales forming
barricades which were manned by marines.
After some parley the troops went down on
the pier to the British royal mail steamer
Atrato to embark for Cartagena- The COM
manding officer or the troops had In the
meantime gone to Panama and they were
without commanders Colonel Black, with
the marines, taking advantage of the fact
that the troops had all passed down the
pier. changed the cotton-bale barricades
until they blocked the pier and refused TO
allow the troops to come back to shore. A
fund OF IS 900 was collected and the troops
were sent passage prepaid by the Atrato
to Cartagena.
For two days, Nov. and ), great excite
ment prevailed in Colon and many of the
foreign residents sought shelter with their
families on the City of Washington.
The commissioners on arrival here did
not know their exact status and declined
to talk until they had received the latest
intelligence from Washington. They could
not say whether they would go direct to
Washington or not. Dr. Manuel Echever-
ria, of New York. met the commissioners
at quarantine.
FREDERICK Boyd. who was one of the mem
bers of the revolutionary junta, said: 81

of the Supreme Lodge issued the following
statement through w. S. Robson. chairman
of the committee on laws: THE Supreme
Lodge having already secured the adoption
of the present plans by 10000 members,
comprising fourteen grand lodges, the board
of directors felt ii their duty TO protect the
Supreme Lodge against what they believed
to be the unlawful acts of the Grand
Lodge of Massachusetts as enacted at a
special session to-day, and they therefore
resolved TO invoke the full power of the
law, and IL necessary, to resort to the
courts for the purpose of ascertaining
whether one party to contract can abro-
gate it without the consent or considera-
ton equivalent OF the other party; and
they are determined to carry this measure
10 the fullest extreme without regard TO
cost TO see whether or not the courts or
Massachusetts, will overturn all of their
previous decisions along this line that one
man cannot unlawfully break any contract
at his pleasure without the consent Of the

RETAIL MARKET DEALERS
TWO HUNDRED OF THEM PETITION
THE BOARD OF SAFETY.
They Want Persons Prohibited from
Using the Courthouse Square
Other Municipal Affairs.

The Board of Public Safety has been
petitioned by about 200 retail dealers in the
market house to prohibit the retailing of
vegetables, meats, fruits, ETC., about the
courthouse square. The petition will be
taken up by the board at its regular meet
ing this morning.
The petition says: I'VE respectfully call
your attention to the practice of using the
courthouse square for a retail market.
which is great detriment to the retail
business in the market buildings and also
mars the beauty of the courthouse park
This practice is also a nuisance to the
public doing business at the courthouse
We therefore ask that proper means be
taken to prevent a continuance of the
public market about the courthouse square.
1t has been the custom for years for
scores OF retailers to establish temporary
places Of business in wagons about the
courthouse square. Many people have made
their living by this means for years. If
the custom is abolished 1T will not only be
hardship TO many people, 1t is said, but
it will deprive the city OF considerable
The men and women who sell provisions
etc., from wagons backed up against the
sidewalk about the courthouse square lease
their right to their places from the city.
These leases run until the first of next
June. If the Board of Safety decides to
abolish the custom it will not be able to
put its decision into effect until the leases
expire, ii is said.
THE retail dealers in the market house
want the Board Of Safety to run US away
from the courthouse square, which has
become almost as great a marketing place
as the market buildings, because they
would have a larger trade il We were not
allowed to do business there any longer"
said a man who backs his wagon up 10
the Washington street side Of the square
each day. This desire, or pretended de-
SIRE rather to have the courthouse
square beautified, is all bosh. What the re-
tail dealers in the market buildings want
would be very unjust to many people for
the Board of Sally to abolish this custom,
which has been in vogue so long that it has
become almost an institution, the same as
| the market house"

going to the coal mines More than 1000
of the workmen in several departments of
the steel works were laid off on Saturday
when those departments were suspended
on account of the shutting of in the coal
supply by the strike. Many Of the men
determined that they would go to the COM
pany's mines and dig coal and a carload of
them were taken yesterday to the Walsen
mine near Walsenburg. Their arrival hav-
ing been unattended by opposition any

every train to go into the idle mines. Com

who have heretofore obtained their supply
principally from the northern Colorado
field, decided at a conference to-day to
bring coal from the East for their custom

large shipment from Missouri river points.
This coal will be sold to consumers in Den,

at 81 TO $3.50 ton.
1--WE are not considering the question of
bringing in coal from the East" said
General Manager Welborn, of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company to-day, "for the
reason that our supply is ample We have
more miners working now than at any time
since the strike began and each day adds
to our output.
Advices from over the State show that
the situation in many towns in the State
is becoming serious. The town of Greeley
sent to Illinois for five cars. The coal will
cost consumers $40 ton. The output OF
the Eaton and White Ash mines, a few
miles N lies 81 from Greeley Is being taken by
