Denver. Nov. 22.-Last nights dis
patches in the morning papers show
that when the second week of the coal
strike in Colorado closed last night
there was practically no change In con-
ditions. The main feature in the north
ern field yesterday was that the situa-
ton had resolved itself into sympa-
thetic strike.
In the southern field the sensation of
the day was the application by attor-
neys for the Victor Fuel Company in
the District Court for an injunction re-
.straining the officers OF the United
Mine Workers of America from Presi-
dent John Mitchell down, from inter-
'fering in any way with the operation
of the mines of that company. This
motion will be argued Wednesday be-
fore Judge Northcutt.
The union managers also asked an
injunction to prevent interference with
the movements of their agents on the
public highways.
It was stated that the company's s
plants would be started up at once and
that ample protection would be FUR

Panama vii, Stand Alone.

Colon, Nov. 22.-The Panama COM
mission conferred at length with the
Colombian commission headed by Cen
eral Reyes, which arrived from Savan-
lila on the French steamer Canada.
The Panama commissioners refused ev-
cry overture, declaring their position
to be irrevocable and declared they
would not receive Gny further COM
missions from Colombia unless they
recognized the Republic of Panama.
The Colombians made strong ap-
peals to the Panamans to re-enter the
Colombian republic. promising them
concessions and protection. The Pan
amans unanimously declined every
thing. Some OF the Colombians showed
ill-concealed anger. but there was no
outbreak General Reyes favored the
most friendly negotiations and the
meeting passed amicably. At its term
nation the Panamans and Colombians
breakfasted together on board the Can
ada.
