steamed out of the lagoon.
While Admiral Coghlan and the
other Americans were treated civilly
and eourteously, and while their visit
was not marked by the slightest un
pleasant or untoWard incident, it was
evident that the authorities in Carta-
gena were not very glad to see the
Olympia and were pleased when she
took her departure.

We're carefully watching for any evil
dence OF disloyalty, since the CaEta-
genian authorities evidently desired to
avoid all unnecessary friendliness with
the Americans.
No political references were made
during the interviews, except by the

while aboard the Olympia, proposed
with great earnestness toast to the

CONCENTRATIONS OF TROOPS.
Comparatively little information as
to the general situation could be gained
at Cartagena. There are probably
$500 troops there. and there are report
ed TO be 5000 at Barranquilla. The
Government is doubtless slowly con-
centrating troops at Barranquilla and
moving them toward Titumali. in small
numbers. There are 1900 Colombian
Of nd vicinity fn-daU
and this number is gradually being in
creased.
Minister Beaupre had good trip
down the Magdalena River and was
greatly gratified to find that the Olyn-
pia had been sent to Cartagena to bring
him TO Colon. The Bogotan authori-
ties extended every courtesy to the
Minister, who left Bogota on a special
train and was carried down the river
on a special steamer. He made the
trip from BogOta to Cartagena in seven
days
Beaupre said he thought any trouble
between the United States and Colon
bia was improbable and that the Amer
leans in Colombia-of whom there were
very few. there being only about ten
in Bogota and some prospectors in An
tioquia and other placeS-Were in no
danger of molestation.
General Rafael Reyes has been bitter
" criticized in Bogota for having in
vited the Panaman commissioners to
breakfast when here aboard the Canda.
The Generals action is considered un-
dignifed and sign Of weakness. Cen
eral Reyes continued absence at Wash
ington is resulting in a certain slight
weakening of his influence and pres
tige.
1t can be safely said that the inhu-
ence of time and a calmer considera-
tion of the situation are bringing
about, though slowly, a greater readi-
ness on the part Of Colombia to ac-
ceDt the inevitable and to get all she
possibly can from the republic of Pan
anna by diplomacy.

THE WINTER NIGHT.

The long nights are upon US again,
and the fires have been lighted. The
children have come from school ana
the dinner has been eaten. Then comes
the period out Of the twenty-four hours
which enables members OF the family
10 really get acquainted. ana TO form
those ties which should be sacred, II
any earthly affection may be 80 desig-
mated. In the morning we are all
routed out Of bed, sleepy. cross and
unsoclabe The mind OF the man has
gone 10 the Office where he is so soon
TO engage in the daily routine. The
children are cross and worried over
some lesson half prepared, and the
mother IS busy getting them started TO
school. and IN clearing away the debris
after them. Through the long dst
fhere is a separation, and the family
Is scattered ia its various pursuits.
But at night when the duties OF the
day are over. and all are gathered to-
gether. there is tho opportunity for
establishing that community of inter-

radeship which en- giles us to speak the
magic word, home" Yet many per-

Here Is an example that is by nc
means impossible: The father swal-
lows his evening meal in silence. and
the boys gulp down their food. The
moment Il is finished all make break
for hats and coats as though the home
were a mere boarding house. The
father goes to the club. the boys to the
cigar store or the saloon. while the
girls are either out calling OF "sitting
up" with some young man. as far away
from the rest Of the family as possible
So 1t goes night after night. and al OF
these persons have robbed themselves
OF the truest happiness that il is pos

Here Is another picture that is not
fancyful: After the children have spent
an hour at their Lessons tho father
throws down his paper and proceeds to
converse with his family; to draw out
his children and learn st first hand
what their desires and impulses are.
Perhaps he relates some incident, dis
cusses some feature he has seen In
the newspaper that is interesting and
instructive. In these quiet gatherings
bits Of history. striking current events
or the character OF public men come
