MCARREN IN WASHINGTON.
Thinks Brooklyn AppOintme VIII Not He
Announced for Week or Ten Days.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator McCar-
rem of Brooklyn said to-day that it was
probable that no announcement as to ap-
pointments in Brooklyn or elsewhere in
Greater New York under the Democratic
administ ration would be made until the re-
turn Of Mayor-elect Mcclellan to New
York. in the course of week or ten days
Mr.. McCarren had dinner last night with
Representative McC lellan at the Metro
over at length. 1t is of course acknowl-
edged that Senator McCarren will receive
substantial recognition for his services in
the recent campaign, but just how ST rong
this reward will be will probably not be
decided until Mayor-elect Mcclellan and
Charles F. Murphy have had a number
of conferences
Mr.. McCarren was a visitor at the Capitol
to-day, presumably for the purpose of
talking with Senator German, for they
spent nearly an hour in conference. Neither
of them had anything to say regarding the
subject of their talk. Their meeting took
place in the Presidents Room" which ia
conveniently near the lobby of the Senate.
Mayor-elect Mcclellan said tonight that
he would probably have a conference to-
morrow with Mr. Murphy, at which ap-
pointments under the coming city ad-
mnistration would be discussed, but he
thought it extremely unlikely that any
them until after his arrival in New York.
1t might be that some of the prospective
appointments for Brooklyn would be made
public, he added, in referring to the visit
Of MIR. McCarren, but even that was un-
certain

for cooperation with the Republican
national committee in next years cam

Colombia Won't Try II. Says One OF HeI
Departing Commissioners.


DR.. Dionisio Jiminez, DR.. Antonio r.

Julio C. Borda, who have been in Wash

missioners from Colombia, sailed Yesterday
for Cartagena on the steamer Altai Senior
j. de P. Manotas, another member of the
commission will remain in this city on
private business.
This commission was sent here by Gov
Insignares of the Department Of Bolivar
to protest to President Roosevelt, in the
name of the people Of Bolivar, against the
secession of Panama and to try to induce
this country TO reconsider its recognition
of the new republic.
So far as affecting the policy of the United
States goes the mission of the commits
sioners vas failure and they were plainly
disappointed. But then, said one Of the
latter yesterday, we were convinced
before coming here that this Government
Our object was to call to the attention of
the United States the sentiment that pre-
vailed in the other States of Colombia over
the secession of Panama. We were very
well pleased by our reception at Wash
ington."
In regard to the report that force of
Colombian troops was marching on the
Isthmus with the object Of retaking Panama
the same commissioner said:
II do not credit those reports. If an
army is really on its way to the Isthmus,
the orders of the Bogota Government.
Retaking Panama is out of the question.
I do not believe that Cauca, Antioquia or
Bolivar will try to follow Panama by de.
claring their Independence. They are all
loyal to Co ombia.

EUROPEAN NATIONS PROTEST.
Object to Discriminatory Duties on Hemp
From the Philippines.

WAsHINGToN Dec. Recommendations
from the representatives here of the Gov
ernments OF Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Italy, Belgium and Holland asking
that those countries he placed on the same
footing regarding the export duty on hemp
from the Philippines that is enjoyed by
the United States were to-day transmitted
to Congress by the State Department. to-
gether with note saying that they were
for its consideration.
The Philippine tariff bill enacted by
Congress provides for rebate on i'm
portation into the United States Of any
export duty levied on articles coming
from the Philippine Islands. The Philip
pine Government levied an export duty of
rs cents per 100 kilos on hemp exported
from the islands, and the refunding of this
duty on importation into the United States
made the raw material that much cheaper
to American manufacturers than to those
of foreign countries Before this legisla-
ton was enacted London practically con-
trolled the hemp trade Of the world, and
consequently the trade in binding twine;
control to the United States. Naturally,
the manufacturers of England and other
nations object to this discrimination and
have made repeated protests to the De-
partment of State.
Gel many's protest, which is practically
similar to those Of the other nations, in
sinuates a lack of good faith on the part
Of the United States in urging the open
door in the Orient and at the same time
imposing disc. iminatory duties on one of
the principal products of the Philippines.
The CeI man Cove nment, it says, under
negotiations attending the peace treaty at
Pa is that the Same II eatment with Iegal d

day from Mr.. Malmros. United States Consul
as Colon, indicates that the Colombian
Government has decided to make no hos
tile movement against the 1sthmus and will

the government of the Colombian State
Of Bolivar had repealed the decree closing
ports in the State against vessels from
the 1sthmus because the existing difficult
ties are to be settled automatically. This

who has urged that no hostile act be com
mitted against Isthmians or the United
States.

The yarn about recruits for the Colombian

shoremen had told of thirty tons OF dyna-
mite having been put aboard the schooner
James Slater, which has been loading for
the last two weeks at the foot of Moore
street. The schooner cleared for Cartagena
and was towed down the bay yesterday.
The longshoremen said that they had been

To be Collector of Internal Revenue,
Edward E. Butler, for the Second District
OF Tennessee. ~,
To be Collector Of Gust oms,, Fred W

Mr.. Buchanan is a sdent of Buhalo,
N. Y, having made that place his home IN

OF the Pan-American Exposition. Prior TO
at Sioux City. In 1894 Mr.. Buchanan, Who
was then a Democrat, was appointed MN,
lister to the Argentine Republic and served
there until 1900, when he returned 10 tnls
country and became the director general
OF the Pan-American Exposit ion: After
his duties at Buffalo had ended Mr.. Bu-
chanan went back to the Argentine kepup,,
lie to settle up some affairs for the united

It was believed that Mr. Gudger, Consul
General at Panama. would be the first
Minister Of this Government to the 18th
mian republic. and Mr.. Buchanan g appoint
ment was something of a surprise: The
Presidents failure to appoint Mr.. Gudger
