ENGLISH SHIPS RELEASED.
Colombia Will Not Attempt to
 Transport Troops.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The State De- partment has been informed that the two British steamships which were detained at the port of Buena Ventura by the Colombian Government with the intention of using them to transport troops to the Isthmus have been released and have left that port.
 The State Department has decided to request the authorities to receive General Hayes, who Is going to the Isthmus on a peace mission from Bogota. It Is es- timated that he cannot reach his desti- nation within two weeks.
 The British Government knew nothing of the detention of British vessels until notified by the State Department through the Embassy here. It was the intention of the Navy Department to have the Co., lombian authorities informed that no troops could be landed on the Isthmus from these vessels but their release and departure from Buena Ventura with the troops made this course unnecessary.

 smoot is Entirely
 Improper.

Washington. Nov. n.-Speaker Cannon was assured today by one of the most prominent leaders of the opposition to Cuban reciprocity in the last Congress that there would be little or no opposition among Republicans to the bill carrying into effect the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
 He told the Speaker that the attempt to form an opposition had failed and that the Republicans would not join the Demo- crats in voting the Morris differential amendment on the bill.
 The Speaker was assured that the sen- timent among the Republicans was to stand by the Speaker, that it would be impolitic to have a division of the party at the beginning of the session.

TURN DOWN FOR BEAVERS.
Judge LaCombe Upholds the Lowe,
 Court.


 New York, Nov. 11.-Judge Lacombe of the United States Circuit Court gave . decision today upholding the Unite.s States District Court in ordering that George W. Beavers indicted for compli- city in the alleged frauds of the post of- flee department. be turned over to the federal authorities in Brooklyn for trial, at the same time granting an order al- lowing an appeal so that the matter now goes to the United States Supreme Court for final decision. 's
 Beavers's counsel asked for a writ of habeas corpus and a writ of certiorari but Judge Lacombe. in donying the mo- tion, went over the grounds upon which the writs are asked and said that none of them was sufficient to justify him in overruling the decision of Judge Holland and United States Commissioner Hitch- cock.
 Judge Holland in the United States Dis trict Court granted today the application of the government for warrant for re- moval to Washington of Maurice Bun kle. of New York. indicted In Washington for alleged conspiracy to defraud the pos- tai department through the sale of leather pouches to the free delivery system.

ANTI-sMooT PETITIONS.
Several Hundred Protests Against
 the Mormon Senator.


 Washington. Nov. 10.-Several hundreds of petitions protesting against Reed Shoot retaining his seat as junior Sen ator from Utah, were filed in the Senate today Most of these were offered by MT. Burrows. chairman of the Elections Committee. though nearly every State registered objections through petitions filed by their Senators. Churches. reig- ious organizations of all kinds, univer- stiles. colleges and other educational in- stitutions were among the organizations which have filed protests.
 Some of these petitions allege that Sen ator Shoot has practiced polygamy while others rest their objections on the charge that he is a member of an organization which countenances the practice of plural marriage.
 Senator Burrows said today no action will be taken by the Elections Committee until the one vacancy on the committee has been filled, and that 1t is not likely the charges will be considered before the last week of the special session or the first week of the regular session.

Godfrey Hunter. Republican. l,94s; D. C. Edwards, Republican. 34S6: John D. White, PEohibltionist 1,756. Hun ter's plurality on the face Aof the re- turns received is 1.510 and he claims the offlcial count will give him a plurality of from 500 to 1000
 Edwards appears equally confident and declares that the missing counties of Leslie, Letcher and Owsley will give him more than enough to offset Hunters ap- parent lead. The fight between the two Republicans will undoubtedly be carried to the floor of the House on account of the numerous legal complications that have arisen.

The po-Nothing Policy.

The do-nothng policy is succeeding very well so far, for there was nothing doing at either end of the Capitol to-day except an executive session by the Senate to dispose of an accumulation of nomina- tions That will be the main business of the Senate for the next few days. The House will meet. have prayers and ad- journ, meet again in equally short ses- slons Friday, and adjourn until Monday.
 There was some surprise to-day that the Ways and Means Committee was not announced. This will not be lone until next week. The aspirants for places on the committee are so mary Gs to en- barrass both the speaker and Minority Leader Williams. As Representative Dal- zell, a veteran of committee, expresses it, "There are too many pegs for the holes. '
 The prospect of the reporting and con sideration of a general river and harbor bill has caused much interest in the com position of the committee in charge of such measures. There are numerous ap- plicants for the two vacancies in the old Democratic representation on the commit tee. Three members are making earnest efforts and rallying the support of their friends for the places, Messrs. Gaines of Tennessee. Burgess of Texas and Small of South Carolina.
 Minority Leader Williams is up to his in Congress and shares with the speaker the most troublesome problem of the working organization of Congress
