J. F. FurIong Kills a Wealthy Young
Business Man. /

t 1NSsnOSS Vt0Is f. - III
st. Joseph, Mo-, Nov. 16.-Irving
Mcdonald. a young business man and
wealthy, was shot and killed Sunday
by j. F. Furlong, a travelling man
whose home is given by him as st.
Louis. Furlong says his act was in
self-defense, as he was assaulted by
four men and shot only when he be.
lieved his life to be in danger. When
arrested he had a revolver in his
pocket, one chamber empty. In COM
pany with Mr.. Lester Myrick and
Grace Holt of a theatrical company
and several other friends, Furlong and
Mcdonald went to an Edmond street
cafe after the performance of 1.-THE
Governors Son" They are said to
have been drinking freely, although
so far as any of those supposed to be
acquainted with the facts in the case
will admit there was no quarrel while
the party remained at the cafe. Short
ly after 5 o'clock the party left the
cafe and walked down Third street.
When Third and Franklin streets was
reached, according to the police, words
passed between the two and Furlong
drew a revolver. Placing the weapon
almost against McDona1d's stomach
Furlong hesitated a moment. Melon.
aid dared him to fire and Furlong pull
ed the trigger.
The women are held as witnesses
and for Investigation. They reside in
New York City.

FOUR coNvlcTs ESCAPE.
Climb to the Roof of the Ohio Peniten.
tiary and Slide Down a Rope.

Columbus, O., Nov. 16.-Four prison
ers escaped from the Ohio p~enitentiary
Sunday night by climbing to the roof
of a cell block through a ventilator
and sliding down a rope made of
leather betting to the lawn in front of
the prison.
The fugitives are: A. L. Woods, aged
thirty; j. Ryan, alias John Gallagher,
aged twenty-eight; Frank Hayden,
aged twenty-eight; Thomas Gallagher,
aged thirty, all burglars.
The escape of the prisoners was a
daring one. The cell block from
which they made their exit is in the
front of the big prison and the men
dropped to the ground beneath a win
dow in the warden's office where the
lights were burning brightly.
A trusted prisoner seated at a desk
near a window saw the last man, who
fell before he reached the end of the
rope, limp away in the darkness. The
alarm was given and a posse of prison
guards with Winchesters Immediately
started in pursuit. It is thought the
men ran to the railroad yards nearby
and boarded an outgoing freight train.

INVESTIGATION IN PROGRESS
Postal Inspectors Probing Allegations
Of Illegal Stamp Transfers.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The post
Office department is pressing the in
vestigation of published allegations
that rare postage stamps have Illegally
found their way from the department
to stamp spectators.
II has been the practice of the office
for a number of years to distribute
among department officials and other
prominent persons specimen" stamps
distinctly so marked to prevent their
use as postage, as an official courtesy
and it is known that a large number
of these stamps have found their way
into the hands of the dealers. Inspec-
tors are endeavoring to find out who
sold them to the dealers. The investi-
cation may be concluded this week.

SENATE LEADERS INTEND 70
COMBINE LEGISLATION TO
THE CUBAN TREATY.
SITUATION ON THE IsTHMus
SENATOR MORGAN is PREPARED
TO DISCUSS THE SUBJECT
AT GREAT LENGTH.

Washington, Nov. 16.-It is the In
tent1on of the senate leaders to con
n as closely as possible the legisla-
ton of the present extra session to
the bill to carry into effect the Cuban
treaty and with that END in view the
daily sessions of the senate during the
present week will be brief and another
adjournment will be taken on Thurs
day Or FridaXI1,unti the following Mon
day. The work" Of introducing bills
I'M OF presenting petitions will go for
ward but with the exception of the
Cuban bill, neither bills nor petitions
will be taken up in committee nor dis
cussed in the senate during the week.
1t is quite we'll understood that Sena-
tor Morgan is prepared for a prolonged
discussion of the situation on the
lsthmus of Panama, but while he
seems not to have taken anyone into
his confidence, the general supposition
is that he will defer his speeches un-
til the new canal treaty shall be SEM
to the senate.
There is an understanding on the
part of the senators that even though
the negotiations Of the new convention
be forthwith completed it will not be
transmitted to the senate until the be-
ginning of the regular session of con-
gress in December. It is expected
that the Cuban bill will be received
from the house on Friday, and it is
probable that a session will be held
on that day in order that the bill may
be referred to the committee on for
eign relations which will begin It's
consideration at once.
The committee on military affairs
will meet during the week to consider
the nomination of General Wood and
as soon as practicable after the COM
mittee reports on it, the question of
confirmation will be brought before
the senate in executive session in con
sideration of other nominations.
Senator Hale, who is chairman of
the Republican committee on organiza-
ton of the senate committees, ex-
presses the opinion that the reorgani-
cation will be completed by the close
of the week. Other senators say it
will be impossible to complete the
work until the following week.

Statement of President Marroquin
About Punitive Expedition.

About Punitive Expedition.
Panama, Nov. 16.-President Mar
ioquin's statement as conveyed in a
cablegram to General Plaza, president
Df Ecuador, that Generals Reyes, Cab
Rlleros, Ospina and Holguin are now
marching on the Isthmus to "sup-
press the Isthmian traitors" has set
the entire population of the Isthmus
laughing. Protected by the impene-
trability of the land and the many
leagues of coast line separating the
@fsthmus from Colombia and confident
that the United States intends to pre-
vent the landing of Colombian SOL
diers from the sea, the Istmmians feel
that their. security is absolute.
The loss of the Isthmian territory
Is. of course, a tragedy for Colombia.
the government at Bogota is probably
ignorant of the attitude taken by the
government of the United States dur
Ing the past two weeks. In a frenzy
to save its face" to appease an angry
and disappointed populace and to sat
isfy the public demand for some ap-
pearance of activity and an attempt
to save the honor and the territorial
Integrity of Colombia, the government
is no doubt promising and threaten
Ing to send forces to the coast and to
other aggressive steps. The

FLYING THE COLOMBIAN FLAG.
German Steamer Scotia Arrives at
Colon. a

Colon, Nov. 16.-'rhe overdue Ger
man steamer Scotia arrived from the
coast at shutdown Sunday flying the
Colombian flag. Her agents signalled
the Scotia to come alongside her
wharf, but she is now anchored a mile
and "a half from the harbor. Cutters
from the United States auxiliary
cruiser Dixie are plying to and from
the Scotia, which has no communica,
ton with the shore. There is great
excitement, as it is stated >lat Cen
eral Reyes and his staff are aboard
the vessel. The United States con-
verified cruiser Mayflower left her an
chorage and steamed to meet the SEQ
tia.
The moment the Scotia anchored
twenty marines from the Dixie were
landed here.
The Scotia sailed from Hamburg
Oct. 13 for Kingston, Jamaica, and was
last reported passing Peyst, Belgium,

realization by the Colombian govern
ment Of the im%po.ssibility Of sending
troops to the Isthlnils would not nee
essari1y deter it from taking these
steps which, as already stated, are in
tended merely to satisfy the people.
Well informed people on the 18TH
mus believe that the Colombian gov
eminent is going through all these
forms of organizing expeditions not
merely for the foregoing reasons, but
owing to the necessity of forestalling
Or Of weakening the threatened revo-
lutionarv outbreak in Bogota.
Cause Of Dissatisfaction
The growing feeling against Presi-
dent M%arroquin is believed to be due
to the fact that he did not show sufi-
cient determination to effect the rati-
f1cation of the canal treaty, which
would have saved the Isthmus to Co
lombia, and because he appointed Gen
eral Obaldia governor of the Depart
ment of Panama after Obaldia had de-
clared that he would remain a Colon
bian If the treaty were ratified, but
that otherwise he would only be a
Panamaian. General Obaldia was
born in ChiriQui, in the state of Pan
ANA.
Miners and others familiar with the
coast on both sides of the Isthmus de-
clare that any attempt to march an
expeditionary army from any part of
Colombia to the Isthmus would be
futile. Both coasts consist of i'm
passable jungles and swamps and riv-
ers, without towns or roads or any
means for the provisioning of an
army.
What is described in Panama as
"the United States broad interpreted
ton of the clause of the treaty of
1916, regarding the protection of traf-
fc across the Isthmus," is deemed
ample for the prevention of the trans
portation of troo1s by sea and OF
consequent hostilities.
The revenues of the new republic,
If economically administered, promise
to meet all expenses. s..r
The government of the new repub-
lie, realizing the necessity of keeping
its army in a contented condition, is
paying its officers and soldiers with
the utmost promptness.
It is generally asserted that the
Isthmians will eventually insist upon
the separation of church and state.
United States Consul General Gud-
ger arrived here Sunday evening and
was met at the railway station by a
great number OF persons, including
the members of the provisional gov
eminent, army officers and other prom
inent persons.

AFTER A BUSY WEEK.
Federation Of Labor Delegates Take a
Vacation.

Boston, Nov. 16.-After a week
crowded with busy sessionss, the dele
gates to the convention Of the Ameri-
a Federation Of Labor Sunday gave
up their time to enjoyment. In the
afternoon a trip was taken in trolley
cars over the route travelled by Paul
Revere on the night in April, 1775,
when he warned the patriots that the
British soldiers were advancing. The
party started at 2 o'clock and returned
about four hours later, the entire dis
lance traversed being about fifty miles.
At Concord and Lexington the cars
stopped long enough to give the tx
c%ursionists an opportunity to, visit the
famous revolutionary %battlefelds in
these towns. Entertainments for the
delegates were given in the evening
by the various local unions.
Longshoremen's Union 302 held a
mass meeting at night. Among the
speakers were John Mitchell and Sam
uel Compress.

RESULT OF JEALOUSY.
William F. PeaseIy Cuts John Boards.
iey's Throat. 1

Bradford, Pa, Nov. 16.-Believing
that his wife was unduly intimate
with John Beardsley, William F.
Peasely went to the railroad station
and found his wife and Beardsley in
conversation on the platform. With
out a word to either Peasely stepped
up to the couple and cut Beardsley's
throat. The latter, evidently expect
ing trouble, had armed himself with
a revolver, which he attempted to use,
but fell before he could fire and died
within a few minutes.
Peasely gave himself up and admit
ted the cutting, saying he loved his
wife and could not endure the thought
that any other mar shared her af-
fectiOns.

DEAD NUMBER THIRTY.
Eighteen Others Injured in a Wreck at
kentwood. La.


New Orleans, Nov. 16.-Sixteen ne
groes injured in the Illinois Central
wreck at Kentwood were brought to
the Charity hospital Sunday and
three of them died soon after reach
Ing here. This makes a total of twenty
eight negro men dead, one negro wo-
man killed and Andrew c. Riser. fore
man of carpenters, the only white,
fatally injured, a total of thirty deaths.
The injured list foots of eighteen.
The wreck has been cleared away.
The responsibility for the accident
will be hard to figure out. The first
train was forty-iive minutes late and
the last five minutes behind and the
two trains were virtually running on
zach others time. The engineer of
the last train claimed that he had or
ders for a clear track to Chatawa,
while the operator at Tangipapo
claims that he s!gnalled the train to
stop, intending to hold it ten minutes,
but it went on and struck the train
ahead,

TO PROVOKE WAR WITH TURKEY
Conspiracy Formed by Bulgarian and
Servian Officers.

conspiracy foffneQ by bulgarian and
Servian Officers.
Sofia, Nov. 16,-Previous reports of
a conspiracy of Bulgarian and Servian
officers to provoke war with Turkey
have been officially confirmed. Ac-
cording to these reports, Turkey was
to be attacked by the combined armies
of the two countries. A search of Off
cars quarters at Philippopolis, Tirava
and other places in Bulgaria, it was
said, revealed compromising letters
and revolutionary documents directed
against Prince Ferdinand. This lat
ter part of the rumor, however, proves
to be untrue. 1t is said that a number
of young officers of Macedonian ma
.tionality planned to create a casus
belli by forcing a conflict on the from
tier. The minister of war has order
ed the removal of lao officers.
Prince Ferdinand Sunday opened
the new sobranje and received a great
ovation on his way to and within the
chamber.
