THE LORDS SUPPER.
Subject of Father Brannan's Lecture
 Last Nipht

Last Night.
 The presence of Christ-not in q figur- alive sense, but really-at the Lords SUD- per. was the subject of Father Brannan g lecture last night at the court house.
 The lecture was rather in the form of sermon, with text drawn from the in. cident of the loaVes and fishes feeding thousands. the speaker pleading for a lit- eral acceptance of Christ's words: Who so eateth of my flesh and drinketh of my blood hath eternal life"
 Father Grammar held that when the Sa- Vior uttered these words he meant what he said, and that in no metaphorical sense.
 The Protestant branch of the church was criticized for making the Lords S Supper merely symbolical. and many pas sages were quoted from Scripture intend- ed to show that the words of the Lord should not be so taken.
 The trouble with the world today. the speaker said. is its lack of faith in the omnipotence of Christ. He dwelt at length on the limitations of human knowledge declaring 1t necessary that we accept much on faith. All great men are humble. and all proud men are fools, he said.
 That old Catholic Church teaches no nonsense" Is a favorite expression of Father Brannan. and 1t frequently and aptly serves in driving home and cinch- ing well made argument.
 Father Grammar will not speak at the court house this evening He will speak at the Montgomery Theatre Sunday even ing on The Infallibility of the Church"

DENIES ACCUSATION.
New York central Says It Did Not
 Defeat Appropriation.

New York, March 6-President W. H. Newman of the New York Central, has made a statement in regard to the charges of several members of the New York City Congressional Delegation that 1t was the railroad company's influence which prevented the $2.000.000 postoffice approa priation from remaining in the sundry civil bill, in which he says:
 'The New York Genital has not taken action of any kind in the postofflce mat ter other than to submit to the commit tee for consideration two sites over its tracks, one fronting on Madison Avenue, and the other on Lexington Avenue. Either of these sites is well located for the quick and economical handling of the mails and doubtless would have had fa- vorable consideration by the committee 1T an appropriation could have been se- cured.
 There is no ground whatever for the report that the company in any manner is responsible for the failure of the $2,0O0,- ,- GOO appropriation"

TALKED OVER The
CANAL QUESTION
Senators In Confere nee With Presiden
Roosevelt-No Decisions Were
Reached.

Washington, Nov 12.-The presi-
dent tonight entertained at dinner,
Senators Allison, of Iowa, Platt, of
Conn, Hale Of Maine, Hanna, Of Ohio,
Spooner Of Wisconsin and Fairbanks,
of Indiana and Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson.
The senators remained at the whit
house until late hour. They were in
vted for the purpose of discussing th'
Panama canal situation. The entire
matter was considered from every
point of view. There was general
change of opinions but no decision
was reached
1t was suggested that some Rep
lican senators think the canal can be
constructed without the Hay-Herran
treaty being presented for ratification.
1t is denied that any public men hold
this view. AS the old convention fail
ed a new treaty must be negotiated
and submitted for action by the SEN
ate.

tal--New Government Refuses to Re
ceive General ReyesFrom the Enemy's s
Country.
Panama, Nov. 12.-There Is an un-
dercurrent of excitement in this city
tonight and a feeling exists that
startling developments are not only
possible but probable. Grave features
are entertained for the safety of SYM
pathizers Of the Panama government
in Colon. On account of this fact the
provisional government has decided
to hold the two Colombian command
ants, Trovar and Castro, for the safe
ty OF residents.
Despite the recommendation of the
United States government that the Of
ficials of the new republic receive
General Reyes who has been commits
stoned by the Colombian government
to endeavor to secure an honorable
statement of the statements that
caused the secession of Panama, it is
announced that General Reyes will
not be permitted to land on the 18TH
mus.
The cause for this action is jeal-
ousy by the government officials.
Those responsible for the formation
of the new nation are determined that
1t shall continue to exist and do not
feel disposed to listen to any over
lures which would result in again
acknowledging the rule of the Co
lombian government.
Word has reached here that the
feeling in Colon is intense against
Americans. With such condition ex-
isting the holding of two Colombian
generals as hostage is considered a
very wise move. The decision to take
this action was made after a confer
ence on board the United States
warship in the harbor
Sixty-seven prisoners who had been
arrested on political charges have
been sent to Barranquilla in the Span
ish coasting steamer.

CHASE AFTER THIEF
L. p. D. Yost Had an Exciting Sprint
But His Man Escaped In the
Darkness.

In the darkness of Thursday night,

store at Cleveland avenue and Seventh
street, had an exciting chase after a
would-be burglar. The latter won. Mr..
Yost was in the rear of his store about
8 o'clock when he heard someone at
tempting to enter through the front
door, He FASTENED to that part OF the
store and saw man in the act of fit
ing a key into the lock. When the fell
low saw Mr.. Yost he started to run.
The latter gave chase up West Seventh
street to Dewalt street and thence south
for several blocks where the pursued
escaped in the darkness,
II is thought that the thief had a
confederate as Mr.. Yost recognized him
as one of duo which he had seen to-
gether on the corner earlier in the ev-
ening.. The police were notified.

DECISION LIKELY To-
CAUSE A STRIKE
JUDGE AUTEN'S FINDING a
SURPRISE.
Knocks Out Coal Con-
ciIiation Board.

Operators Have Free Rein, They Need
Not Abide by Findings of the Com
mission = Mitchell Says Award Was
Not Binding.
Tamaqua, Pa, Nov. 12-From now
on 1t is very probable that none of the
local companies in this section, which
are independent operators, will abide
by the decisions of the conciliation
board since Judge Auten, of North
cumberland county, in his decision to-
day, said that II was not binding on
either the miners or the operators.
For some time the Lehigh coal and
navigation company has not abided
by the decisions of the board and now
that legal opinion has been rendered
they will disregard it's rulings en-
| tirely. This will make the work of
the conciliation board of no effect in
so far as the individual operators are
concerned, and this fact will beyond
doubt precipitate a strike If the
coal companies endeavor to take ad-
vantage of Judge Auten's decision.
Several prominent individual oper-
ators, while they would not commit
themselves this afternoon intimated
| that the decision would give them the
loop hole they have been looking for
and would enable them to break away
from the big coal companies and dis
regard certain rulings of the anthra-
cite coal strike commission which they
say are burdensome to them and
which they have abided by under pro-
| test.
In an interview tonight a retired
| coal operator said:
Judge Auten's decision knocks the
pegs out from beneath the award of
the strike commission and literally
sounds the death knell of the concilia-
ton board. You do not suppose that
the big coal companies are going to
continue abiding by a ruling that
they have openly declared to be unfair
to them when they have the convic-
tion that the ruling is not legal and
binding. They may not break away
from it at once. but break away they
will. eventually"
MITCHELLS IDEA. T.
Boston, Mass, Nov. 12.-John Nit
chell, president of the United Mine
Workers of America said this after
noon anent the decision of Judge
Auten that the award of the anthra-
cite strike commission was not bind
ing.
The decision in Sunbury today does
not change the situation so far as we
are concerned as we have expected all
along that the courts would find
against the validity of the commits
sion's findings"
