Reading from a manuscript he began
by saying: "IndicatiOns are that in
the Panama Colombian matter the
president is invading the eonstitu.
tional prerogative of congress and il
seems of high Importance to the dig
nifty and authority of this house that
both be dispelled forthwith" Payne
rose to a point of order which was
finally sustained. The house then ad-
journed.
The vote of the ways and means
committee on the Cuban reciprocity
bill stood IA to 2 in favor of the bill.
Metcalf, of California, Was present
but did not vote.
Denver, Colo, Nov. 13.-Operators
in the northern coal fields and repre-
sentatives of the miners meet at
Louisville this afternoon to eEdeavor
to reach an agreement whereby the
mines may be reopened. 1t is said
both sides are ready to make conces-
sions and prospects are bright for the
adjustment of the trouble in the
northern field.
Washington, Nov. 14.-The state
department has no knowledge of the
march of an army from Colombia upon
the isthmus of Parma. Officials scout
the idea and assume that the report
grew out of an attempted embarkation
of few hundred troops at Buena
Ventura few days ago. Troops can
not reach the isthmus by water, and
the character of the country is such
that an over land march, if attempted,
would be practically impossible. 1t
is becoming apparent that never again
will the isthmus become u seat of war
fare so long as the United States can
prevent it.
New York, Nov. 14-Since the Rev.
Father Joseph Cirringioue, pastor of
the Catholic church in the northern
outskirts of the city, left home Thurs
day night no trace him has been found.
Friends and relatives fear he has been
killed or kidnapped by members of the
Malta society who had threatened him
with death. They report having seen
two mysterious men who by pretend
ing to be detectives had enticed the
priest away from home and betrayed
him.
New Orleans, La, Nov. 14.-What
promises to be one of the most i'm
portant railroad deals undertaken in
recent years is now on the tapis, ac
cording to information received here
from reliable sources. In the deal are
interested President Cabrera of Qua
tamala, Sir William C. Van Horne
of the Canadian Pacific railroad and
Minor c. Keith of the United States
fruit company. Behind these three
men are the interests they represent,
as well as their individual fortunes,
while with President Cabrera are as
ISOLATED a number of German capital
lists. The enterprise aims at the
completion of the Guatemala Northern
railroad through to the Pacific coast
and the establishment of great termin-
ais, which Will undertake to handle
cargoes from Europe and America and
to the west coasts of North and South
America. The railroad will endeavor
to capture the transisthmian traffic
now handled by the railroad from

Berlin, Nov. 14.-Germany's consul
representatives in Panama have form
ally opened business relations with
the new government with some temer-
ity regarding the feeling at home. 1t
is officially announced today, however,
that Germany has sanctioned the rela-
tions established by her representa-
tives. 1t is intimated in official cir
cIes that Germany will recognize the |
new republic formally in aEe time.
Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE strike stu
alton is becoming more serious and |
efficient police protection has become
necessary. Today stern warning was
given that every person on the side
walk or street who shouted at the |
police or car men would be treated
as an enemy to the general welfare.
Crowds in the strike district are
orderly today and are kept moving |
constantly by policemen.
With the aid of the entire force of
patrolmen the cars are being operated /
without molestation. However, fear
ing mob violence, few passengers avail
ed themselves OF the opportunity to
ride. Peace negotiations have come
to standstill, both sides appearing !
to be settled down for long siege.
The situation is further aggravated /
by the strike of four hundred engin-
GERS and irmen.

ley. director of the Southern Pacific 1
railroad ard president of the Iowa

with all the steamship lines. The de-
tails of the work, including just where I
the railroads would be constructed, /
depend altogether upon the eonees-
sions.
