STRIKERS ARE GOING
BACK TO THE BARNS
More Funerals in Chicago than for
Several Days, with but Lit
tie Disorder.
ONE ARREST IS MADE

CHICAGO, Dec 27.-More hearses were
used by the undertakers to-day in conduct
ing funerals than at any time since the
livery drivers went on strike, but in every
case policemen rode on the box with the
driver. In one or two instances regular
funeral professions of hearses and car
riages drove to the cemeteries.
In answer to the notification sent out by
the Liverymen's Association yesterday. de-
claring that the places of all strikers
would be filled at once unless the strikers
applied tor their old jobs. more than 100
men are said TO have returned TO work.
Nearly every union man who asked to be
taken back made the declaration that there
was a general feeling mong the strikers
that the employers would win in the end
and that public sentiment was against the
men. The dissatisfaction OF the drivers is
most general among those men who are
employed in the fashionable livery stables.
These men made a great deal of money in
Ups and they are afraid that nonunlon men
may take their places.
The employers say they will have no diff
Guilty in securing men to fill the places OF
the strikers and that carriages for the use
of the general public will be sent out this
week. Only few Will be put In service at
first, in order to see what sort of tactics the
union may use and to what extent the police
can be relied on for protection. If these at
tempts are successful the employers claim
that by the end or the week they will be
able to take care of all the business that is
offered.
Norman Larson, said to be union team
ster. arrested for interfering with a
hearse which was returning from Rose Hill
cemetery; Larson, with two companions,
stopped the hearse and tried to unhitch the
horses. but seeing two policemen approach
ing, the men became frightened and ran
away. The police gave chase and captured
Larson. The other two escaped.
At a netting tonight of the members of
the Livery Drivers Union Ii was decided
to ask the Chicago Board of Arbitration to
intercede in behalf of the union and en-
deavor TO settle the trouble by arbitration.
The arbitration board IL is said, will COM
tomorrow in an effort to bring about a
peaceable adjustment of the strike.

PANAMA WILLING TO
PAY PART OF THE DEBT

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Mr. Bunau-Va-
rilla. minister of Panama to the United
States, stated tonight that he had notified
Sir II. Mortimer Durand. British ambas-
sador to the United States. of Panama's
willingness to assume a part Of the ex-
terror debt of Colombia in proportion to the
population of Panama compared with that
of Colombia. The minister says this will
be done as soon as the independence of
Panama is recognized by Colombia.
Panamaians here. who were informed of
the course adopted by Mr.. Bunau-Varilla
said that this step had been taken to
show the good faith of the new republic
They believe that no court OF arbitration
would have reached the conclusion that
any part of COombia's exterior debt
should be assumed by Panama, as never
in the history of the country was any
part of the exterior loans utilized for the
benefit of Panama.
The total amount of the exterior debt
with interest added. is about Sl5000,0O0 and
Panama has a population about one-hf-
teenth of that of Colombia, that Pana-
ma will take on itself the payment of a
million dollars if the conditions are car
ried out.

Showing Is Better than in Any
Previous Year.

Inspector Reynolds. of the Seventh dis
trict. the largest of the anthracite districts.
has completed his report of the work for
the past year, showing there were thirty
eight fatal and 124 nOnfatal accidents in
the seventeen collieries of the district dur
ing the year. In 1901 there were thirty
seven fatal accidents and the inspector
noting that there was 80 per cent. more
coal mined this year than i'm 1901 says the
present year is in advance of any previous
year in the small number of deaths for
the amount of coal mined
The year 1902 cannot be used in making
comparisons, owing TO the protracted strike
of that year.

RoUGH-AND-TUMBLE FIGHT
Dogs Grow Excited While Their Mas
tiers Resort to Blows.

Two large Dane hounds came down F.
street yesterday. Their master was with
Them as is his custom. In the opposite d.
rection trotted along a bull terrier, also ac-
companied by his master. The two parties
were near together between 18th and 18th
streets, about the middle of the block. One
of the Danes went up to the bull terrier. 1t
was evident that the master of the latter
was uneasy about the result so he struck
the big dog across the back with his UNI
brella. Then the owner of the Dane struck
the owner of the bull. Spectators say 1t
was done in a scientific style The men
clinched and rolled over on the pavement.
The big dogs rushed about apparently de-
sirous of lending a helping hand, so to
speak, IL one should be needed. Finally the
men scrambled up and the sparring was re-
sumed. But it came to an end shortly
with some verbal interchangcs and business
flowed along usual. 1t was unusual
episode in the commercial district.
