10000 MINERS STRIKE
COLORADO MEN DEMAND MANY
 CONCESSIONS.
Call for an stHour Day, Higher Wages and Other Things One Hundred Mines
 Closed as a Result.

Denver, Col, Nov! 9.-More than 10.0O( coal miners fin Colorado went on strike to-day for an eight hour day, increased wages and other concessions. The strike was ordered by the national officers of the United Mine Workers of America after the coal companies refused to confer with union representatives concerning the de. mands of the men, Nearly 10000 men are idle and 100 mines have been closed.
 The Colorado Fuel and Iron. the Vic tor Fuel, and the Northern Coal and Coke Companies are the largest produc- CTS. Nearly all of their property has been tied up by the action of the miners. They are making efforts to continue oper- ations under the protection of strong guard. There are about 140 coal mines in Colorado with an output of S.000.0O0 tons of coal and about 1,00O,0O0 tons of coke Il year.
 It will be the policy of the United Mine Workers to depopdlate +he various coal fields by sending the idle men and their families to other States where work can be secured for them. Five thousand tick cts to these States have already been ar- ranged for by the mine workers and to- day hundreds of tine strikers started to new fields.
 The railroad companies say they have enough coal stored to meet all their re- quiremcnts for some time.
 State militia held in readiness to be dis patched to the coal regions at the hrst call from the sheriffs of the counties af- fected

SHE WILL PROTEST.
Colombia Likely to Admit Indepen-
 dence to Panama.

dence to Panama. Paris Nov. 9.-"Beyond making pro- tests to the governments of Europe and to the Republics of South Amerlca," said Senor Pasado. the Colombian Consul here to the correspondent of the Associated Press, "Colombia 1 do not believe will take action against the United States do not believe the protests will be effec- tive here, but the republics of South America may well ask themselves if the United States will not, when her interests demand it, take possession of them or encourage revolutions in their territory.
 Any one can see that the independence of Panama is but d long step towards American annexation. Reports are cur rent that the states of Cauca and Ante quia are also in revolt While Colom- bia. perhaps, will not resist separation from Panama. she certainly will oppose by force of arms the withdrawal of the State of Cauca which comprises almost half of Colombia and Antioquia. probably the richest in the confederation. We have S0.00O men available and large quan- titles of arms and ammunition have been gathered together to suppress the revolu- ton.
 There is no question in my mind but that the Panama Canal Company was responsible for tho action of Panama and that M. Philippe Buena Varilla knew it's independence would be declared Is shown by the fact that he left here for New York ten days before the revolution was proclaimed.
 There Is no doubt now that the canal will he :Wilt- hut assure YOU 1t would

COLOMBIA WAKES UP.
Now Wants to Ratify Hay Herran
 Treaty.

Washington. Nov. 9.--Reports were cur
 rent tonight to the effect that an effort
 was making whereby negotiations for d Panama canal treaty might yet be re-
 sumed with Colombia, notwithstanding the detection of the Department of Pan-
 anna and the establishment of an inde- pendent government there.
 These had as their basis the restoration
 by the United States of the status quo
 on the isthmus as affairs existed ten days
 ago, following which Colombia would lm-
 mediately take up the question of a canal
 treaty with view to a speedy ratifica-
 ton of such a convention. 1t was said that unofficial representations of this ten- or had come from an outside nation which is vitally interested in the question
 and that an official of the State Depart
 ment had been approached on, the sub
 ject. That something along this line was l done, 1t Is said, was admitted by a De-
 partment official, but that the intimation had been conveyed in reply that the time l for interposition of friendly offices of this character had passed an dthat the United States could not consider such an offer; l It was said positively by Cabinet ofii- | cer tonight that no ofiifiicial overturos of l the character referred to had been made. As has ben said heretofore repeatedly,
 the Hay-Herran convention is dead ire | vocably so and any negotiations for a ca
 Eal treaty must be on the basis of new convention.
 It was made plain by the official re- ferred to that the United States did not
 intend and would not annex Panama or dominate it by force. but it was open for
 and anxious for negotiations for a treaty providing for an isthmian waterway.
 The reported appointment by Colombia of General Reyes as a peace commissioner to the republic of Panama as announced in the Associated Press dispatches today Is viewed with some interest by the ofii- cial here as it is in accord with the gug- gestion to the Colombian government con tained in the despatch to Minister Beau
 pre- commenting the peaceful and equi-
 table settlement of all questions at issue
 between Colombia and Panama. The
 United States, 1t is said, will lend its good offices to bring about a meeting of General Reyes and the Panama officials and will do everything in It's power to
 hasten a satisfactory adjustment of the questions brought forward as a result of
 the recent developments on the isthmus. Mir. Herran, Colombian Charge. tonight said. he was still without advices from his government. although he kept the off, cials at Bogota promptly advised of ev- erything that was taking place. As yet he has not received any reply to his pro- test against the attitude of the United
 States government in Isthmian affairs.

DEMOCRATIC POSITION.
Steering Committee Meets and Dis
 cusses Panama.


 cusses Panama.
 Washington. Nov. 9.-The Democratic steering committee of the Senate was in session for two hours today, the greater part of which was devoted to considera- ton of the situation on the Isthmus. The question was discussed in all it's aspects; especial attention being given to the al- legation that this country has been in- strumental in producing the revolt in Panama and Colon. A number of Sena- tors expressed the opinion that the ad- ministration had not been unfriendly to, or ignorant of, the movement from It's beginning, but 1t was decided to wait un- til there Is further light on the ques. ton before advising the Democrats to take a position on the question as a party.
 Some Senators expressed the opinion that the mass of the people are so anx- ious to have q canal that many persons would even endorse revolution on the Isthmus If 1t should prove means oi securing one Senator Morgan was be- fore the committee for time and advo- cated a vigorous policy of criticism.
 The steering committee sIse discussed the policy to be pursued with reference to the proposed measure putting fin force the Cuban treaty. 1t was decided to postpone further consideration of this question until the House sends over its bill It was apparent. however, that q majority of tho Democratic Senators would oppose the bill.
 The committee also took up the subject of the reorganization of the Senate conP mittees and decided to meet from day to day for the purpose of filling the Demo- c ratio committee vacancies

 Been Presented to the
 President.

New York, Nov. 9-Arturo de Brigard. Consul General for Colombia in this city, said today that he heard that 1t had been proposed to his Government to appeal to Germany for protection in regard to Pan- anna, offering in return certain territo- rial concessions. Mir. de Brigard said:
 T have no official advices from Colom- bia. Cablegrams which sent last week asking for news have not been answered. From an official source. however, I learn that the people of the interior are very much excited over the recent develop ments and have appealed to our Govern ment to send a delegation to Germany to offer the Emperor certain pieces of land and both seas in return for Germany's protection. Of course I do not know whether this will be done, but if 1t is imagine the land conceded to Germany will be Una lying next to the Panama border On 10th sides of the isthmus."

wilson on Boil wesvil.

Secretary Wilson fthe Department of Agriculture was the earliest visitor with the President this morning. He has just returned from Texas where he went to study the rasages of the boil weevil in that State He takes a rather gloomy view of the attempt of science to destroy this new and Dangerous pest and say sthat the only Eax to get the best of the boil weevil ise to plant cotton early.
 "Practicaifg the entire late cotton crop of Texas was destroyed said Secretary Wilson. "Maizy planters are taking the ad- vice of the Experiment. of agriculture and gre planting early cotton. The planters are trying to make a fight against the weevii, but their efforts to destroy 1t seem to be useless exertion. We shall continue cur efforts 10 find something to success fully fight the weevil which has spread over 200 counties and Texas and which seems to be as we'll anchored as the com mon house fiy. The only thing to do as the situation now looks is to plant early cotton and harvest it before the weevil has time to get in its work"
