OVERTHROW OF THE COLOMBIAN
GOVERNMENT SEEMS PROBABLE

diers on board will not be allowed T.
land on the isthmus American ships
will follow the two transports to
isthmian waters, where the authority
of the United States under the treaty
is held to be paramount
This situation, which has such dis
tinct international flavor, has aroused
great attention among the diplomats
at Washington, and they say it was a
wise move on the part of this gov
eminent to admit its mistake and
withdraw the order sent and confne
its activity to the isthmus itself,
where the right to maintain complete
neutrality is admitted.
Herran Warning Ignored.
It is stated also en- authority that
DR.. Herran, the Colombian charge d.
aiiai-es here, was fully aware of the
plot for the independence Of Panama.
He notified his home government. as
well as Secretary Hay, Of what was
impending. 1t was Dr.. Herran, how
ever: who actually negotiated the
canal treaty with the United States.
He was not In favor with the states
men at Bogota- They believed his
warnings were sent out to induce
them to ratify the treaty and they
neglected strengthening the military
forces on the isthmus until too late.
II Colombia had been strong enough
on the isthmus to prevent the revolu-
tion making headway. this country
would have been forced to prevent
bloodshed under the treaty. and would
have stood by the Colombian govern
ment just as 1t is standing by the
revolutionary government to-day.
The result of the whole trouble, as
every one expects. will be still an
other revolution at Bogota itself,
which will overthrow the present Co
lombian government entirely.

or plastique. Wax is used a great deal
by Italian artists, who turn out some
exquisite designs; hut for the ordi-
nary individual the best material to
start with Is clay. which has the dis
tinct advantage of being cheap. It
costs about G cents pound. and can
be purchased DIT any place where art
lists colors and materials are sold.
Some enthusiastic persons make their
own clay, but this involves q great
deal of tiresome work.
Having got the clay. the next things
to purchase are some dozen instru-
ments and q modelling table. An out
lay of 81 or IS will buy the necessary
tools and table, aud the amateur mod
eler can then begin. She will most
likely feel, after an hours work. that
her first efforts at modelling have not
been attended with brilliant success.
Perhaps she may have attempted
to reproduce a clay model OF the do
nestle cat or pet dog, and is dis.
gusted to find the resemblance TO eth
er of these animals IS by no means OBJ
vious. However, she should not de.
SPAR.
The next attempt may produce bet
ter results. 1t is, however, more ad.
visable TO get few lessons in the art
TO start with than to rely on any writ
ten directions. After that the model
er's success will derend upon her as
siduity and natural talent.

FITz AS A PRACTICAL JOKER.
Pueilist Seems to Have Queer Idea
of Humor.


Bob Fitzsimmons dearly loves q
practical joke and enjoys horseplay
with his friends in calm forgetfulness
that what may be fun to him may be
torture to them. A short time ago
Bob consented TO forge some horse
shoes as menentoes for several Wis
itors to his Bath Beach home. Deity
the ex-blacksmith turned out one after
another of these shoes, until he
came to the last. Then, holding the
shoe in pair of pincers, he called
to one of the party:
This is the finest Of the lot and
I've saved it for you. Let's see you
catch it."
He tossed the iron shoe, still held
in the pincers, toward the man he had
addressed. The latter put up his
hands to catch 1t, but then, moved by
sudden impulse, lowered his hands
and STEPPED back. The shoe changed
to the floor, burning a dent in the
boards.
"That'd have walked you up IL you'd
caught it," laughed Fitz, In no wise
discounted, land | was hoping you
might catch It."

STUCK IN THE MUD.
How the Big Circus Wagon Was Fin

Tom" Lynch, the BOSS hostler In a

sank down In the mud until the axles

I first hitched on thirty-eight horses
and set them hauling in the traces,

AMEND ORDERS TO CAPTAINS.
State Department Authorities ReseInd
Warlike Command.

Ever since the revolution on the
isthmus broke out one complication
after another has arisen to upset the
international law experts in the state
department at Washington. The
president at first instructed the cap
tains OF ships Of war to prevent Co
lombian troops embarking for
isthmian ports.
After series of consultations the
state department came to the conclu-
sion that any such action on the part
of our ships would clearly be acts Of
have been accordingly revoked and
commanders of our ships have been
instructed to use moral suasion only.
II this proves unsuccessful they will
follow the troops and prevent their
beng disembarked anywhere in tie vi
cinity of the Panama railroad.
What principally caused the with
drawal of the original orders was the
fact that the ships engaged In the
transport Of Colombian troops from
lNO
tramp steamers. The original orders
provided that Commander Diehl OF
the cruiser Boston should go to Buena
Ventura and warn the masters OF
transports as well es tie commander
Of troops that vessels would not be al
lowed to leave port with soldiers on
board.
Further consideration Of the situa-
ton has compelled the state depart.
ment to believe that such action would
not only be an act Of hostility on the
part of the United States against Co
lombia but would be a serious attack
upon the freedom OF action of a neu-
trail ship which certainly would be re-
scented by the British government and
which might in turn provoke European
intervention.
In view II this serious situation 1t
has been decided that Commander
Diehl shall notify the leader of the
Colombian troops and also the masters
OF the two British ships that tie SOL

Modelling is the new artistic fad In
Europe. the craze has reached high
circles and In somo of the English
shops may be seen figures modelled
by such distinguished personages as
the Princess Valdemar of Denmark.
Princess Valdemar has reputation
as a modeler of artistic figures. and
recently In the establishment of the
royal Copenhagen factory a beautiful
hippopotamus modelled by her was TO
be seen.
She has designed great many 9th
er figures, and so has the empress Of
Russia, while Princess Victoria has
received lessons in the art and Is said
to possess much original talent for
such work.
or late years The demand for artistic
china and porcelain ornaments has
/ much increased, with the natural re-
suit that the field for the modeler's
work has been enlarged. That women
of wealth and leisure should have
taken up the work as fat was the
next natural result.
Many woman with artistic ten
denotes will convert one room In her
house into small studio this winter
and. in sculptcr's apron and her
sleeves rolled up, will spend her spare
time modelling clay.
! Many factories now employ women
as modelers, and many of them re-
ceive large salaries. Most of these
