PROTEST TO BRITAIN.
COlombia'S attempt to Gain Sym
pdthy IN Europe.

London. Nov. 16.-The Colombian authorities
have sent by cable to London long protest
against the United States action toward Pan
anna. in which they alege that the main re-
sponsibility for the secession of Panama lies
with the United States government-first. by
fomenting the separatist spirit, of which there
seems to be clear evidence: second. by hastily
acknowledging the independence of the revolt
ed province. and. finally. by preventing the Co
lombian government from using proper means
to repress the rebellion"
The message goes on to say that President
Marroquin has energetically protested to the
United States and wishes that his protest should
be known through the civilized world. The Pres
ident contends that the United States has in
fringed Article 80 Of the Treaty of 1916. which.
he asserts, implies the duty the part of the
United States to help Colombia in maintaining
her sovereignty over the isthmus and adds that
the Colombian government repudiate the
sumption that they have barred the way to
carrying out the canal asserts that since 1885
they have granted canal privileges to different
people no fewer than nine times. and states that
the treaty concluded with the late General Hurl-
but (when he was United States Minister Resi-
dent to Colombia), at Bogota on July s, 1870,
has been ignored at Washington.
After giving reasons for the Colombian Sen
ate's failure to approve the Hay Herran treaty
and asserting that the delay in the negotia tons
had not affected the ultimate issue of she canal
project. the protest of President Marroquin
points out that Colombia had constantly en-
deavored TO act I'm a friendly manner with the
United States, even asking for the assistance
OF American marines TO insure free transit
across the isthmus.'' says the rising occurred
when the government was not prepared. having
withdrawn most of its troops when peace
re-established last year. and concludes:
The hastness in recognizing the gov
eminent which sprung UP is under these cir
oumstances all the more surprising TO the Co
lombian government as they recollect the ener-
Eetic opposition of Washington TO the acknowl-
ment of the heliigerency of the Confederates by
the powers in the course Of the Civil War

SMALL COST OF ARBITRATION.
venezuela's Expenses at The Hague Likely
to Encourage Other Nations.

London Nov 15.-Mnister Bowen arrived in Lor-
don to-day his way to the United States. He
said the proceedings before the Venezuelan Arbi-
tration Tribunal at The Hague were most amicable-
The arbitrator the admiration of all con-
cerned and Mr. Bowen believed their decision
would be cheerfuy accepted by every one, what
ever its nature might be. Mr.. Bowen said:
One of the most interesting points TO me Is the
fact that this case to date cost Venezuela only
800, which includes whole years work. The
sum of s.. 500 may be added II the court decides
to make Venezuela pay portion OF the general
expenses of the court. I believe this showing Will
do much TO popularize arbitration, by showing the
smaller powers that II is not an enormously ex-
pensive method OF settling disputes
There is much interest at The Hague in Andrew
Carnegie's Palace of Peace. The belief has been
heretofore that it would be designed by a Dutch
architect. hut there considerable talk before

LORD KITCHENER's LEG BROKEN.
Serious Accident to Indian Commander
While Riding Through Tunnel Near Simla.

Simla. Nov 16.-Lord Kitchener commander
in chief of the British forces in India, had a
serious accident while riding home alone from
q country house near here, his leg being broken
in tunnel.
Although accustomed to the tunnel. Lord
Kitchener's horse was frightened by suddenly
coming upon a native. The animal swerved and
damned its rider against a beam in the side
wall. His leg was twisted and both bones
snapped above the ankle.
Upon discovering the identity OF the injured
man the coolies bolted and left him lying on
the ground, where he suffered greatly for half
an hour. The broken bones have been set and
after having passed a good night the general is
i'm a cheerful mood.
It appears that Lord Kitchener had informed
the members of his staff that he not going
ont for a ride but later changed his plans.

Earded by diplomats here as serious breach

It. hut il is felt that the communication might
be ignored II the government chose to do so. in

wsrding 1t.
The text OF this protest. as csbled from Bogota
20 The New-York Evening Post" is as follows:
The government and people Of Colombia have
been painfully surprised n 5hs s,nss 20 tbe s
that the government at Washington had FASTENED
barracks coup i'm the Department OF Panama.
The bonds of sincere and uninterrupted friend
peoples: the solemn obligation undertaken by the
American Union in a public treaty to guarantee
the sovereignty and property Of Colombia in the
Isthmus Of Panama: the protection which the cit-
gems Of that country enjoy and will continue TO
enjoy among US; the traditional principles of the
American government in opposition to secession
movements; the good faith which has cha racter-
lied that great people in its international rela-
tions: the manner in which the revolution s
brought about and the precpitanCy Of its Tecogni-
ton make the government and people of Colombia
hone that the Senate of the people of the United
States will admit their obligation to assist ms in
maintaining the integrity Of territory and in
depressing that instruction which is not even the
result Of q popular feeling
In thus demanding Justice Colombia appeals to
the dignity and honor of the American Senate and
people MARROQCIN.
II is to be hoped that tho petition for justice
which Colombia makes to the American people
will he favorahly received by sound public opinion
among the sons Of that country.

ApRoPos of G. SIS jeremiads against poets and
and poetry, 1913 has sent The MIRROR the following
quotations from the writings of Charles Follan
Palmer which may be read with profit by most per-
sons:
eft is rarely that we get at the real sense, the
true meaning, of person who gives his opinions
and Beliefs either in conversation or in writing if
they apparently antagonistc to those we hold
and it may be more through own weakness than
the fault of the other that signaly fail to do
SO. It may only require part mental posi-
ton of patience kindly allowance and withdrawal
of personal preudices for while readily to translate
his mode of working up thought and his manner of
conveying that thought into familiar and
satisfactory processes and it is anything but manly
to indulge in rritability and unreasoning criticism
until thoroughly satisfied that interpreta-
ton meets with his approval When SO authorized,
with just allowance for his situation in life which
may give greater or less freedom Of expression it
may be that our own views will be altered through
what he has advanced. Possibly his beliefs are by
necessity what our own would be under analogous
conditions, they substantially the under
different dress. Uniformity of opinion may be more
general than think but uniformity Of expression
seems impossible"

today. For one thing, people are expecting it and
no panic can take them unaWares. This has been
brought about without any disasterous failures; the
banks are in position to retrench gradually, and
thanks to the bounteous years in the immediate past
the average man can meet his obligations. Any
hard times that may have been discounted and
if next years crops good and the country is saved
on election day, prosperity should reign once more
in 1905.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1903-12-31

The financial depression which is apparent now
will in ell probability continue through the coming
year and produce in America or less we'll de-
fined attack of hard times Investors arechary because
values have been and still are very much inflated
and are dropping back to where they belong. This
is true of real estate of railroad and industrial
securities. Then too people have lost confidence in
the financial leaders, while strikes and labor troubles
have done theirshare to kill prosperity These things,
together with the facts that next year will be a
presidential election year and that people have al
ready commenced to retrench and talk hard times,
make it almost certain that financial depression will
be the rule. The so-ca]led srioh mems panic" has
made itself felt by all GLASSES.
However the country has never been better
