FINANCE TROUBLE
 IS NEW TO HEBRON
THE COLOMBIAN REPRESENTA- TIVE SAYS HE HAS NO OFFICIAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE REPORTED TROUBLE.

Washington. July 27.-Dr. Herran. Co., lombian charge d'affaires here has re- ceived no official information from his government regarding the troubles at Panama and said he was not prepared to express an opinion as to the situation there. But with reference to the report from Bogota to the effect that the Co., lombian congress was discussing the ere alton of hints and the question of the adoption of the gold standard, he said:
 ''rhe question of the establishment of hints and the adoption of the gold stand ard did not appear among the subjects mentioned by President Marroquin in converting congress in extraordinary ses- sion, and l am at a loss to understand why they should be taken up In fact, there are already three hints in Colom- bia, located at Bogota, Mcdellen and Popayan. The purposes for which the special session was called was the con- sideration of the treaty, the reorganiza- tion of the finance system and the re- demption of paper money. And, of course, the question of the treaty was necessar- fly taken up first, since It's adoption or re- organization would so materially affect the question of the finance as 1t would determine whether the government would have added to it's finances the ten million dollars provided for 1t in the treaty."
 An opinion expressed outside of the Colombian legation concerning the affair at Panama is to the effect that the gov ernment at Bogota had determined to obtain a firm hold upon the isthmns in view of the rumors of a feeling of un- rest due to the uncertainty as to the fate of the treaty.

PRINTERS ON A STRIKE.
Decision of Arbltrators Was Against Them-Lynch Refused to Arbitrate.

Spokane, Wash, July 27.-Every printer employed by the Spokane Review quit work last night. For the first time in nearly eleven years no paper was pub lished this morning. As the Evening Chronicle and Evening Bulletin use the same composing room under contract, both of these papers are equally involved. The trouble arose from a disagreement as to wages submitted to arbitration. The arbitrators. decided in favor of the publishers.
 The printers appealed to the national board of arbitration, consisting of Presi- dent Lynch of the International Typo graphical union, Commissioner Drisao.l of the Publishers association and a third man to be chosen by them. President Lynch, however. refused 10 arbiiratp, and following his refusal the printers walk ed out.

PROGRESS IS SATISFACTORY.
There Has Been a Slight Lul in Ne
 gotiations Over Manchuria.

Washington, July 27.-Whie there ha, been a Hull in the Manchuria nesot!a. tions during the past week, 1t is stated that up to this point satisfactory progress has been made and there is every reason to believe that before the first of Septem. Der next a treaty will be ready for sig. nature which will define the trade oppor. tunities of the United States in Man. churia. An authorized statement on the situation is as follows:
 'The question of the opening of the new localities to trade in Manchuria has been in substance satisfactorily arranged with the Chinese government, and nothing re- mains to be settled but the question of the date when said localities shall be opened. This, naturally, will be subse- quent to the exchange of ratifcatio of the treaty in which the opening is agreed upon"

LabouChere'S Story
 Of WhistIer's Marriage.

MT. Labouchere. in Truth tells the fol- lowing story of James McNeill Whistler;
 q believe" writes Mir Labouchere, T was responsible for his marriage to the widow of MT. Goodwin, the architect. She was remarkably pretty woman and agreeable, and both she and he were thorough Bohemians.
 q was dining with them and some others one evening at Earls Court They were obviously greatly attracted to each other and in a vague sort of way they thought of marrying, so I took the mat ter in hand to bring Things to practical point.
 Jimmy said will you marry Mrs. Goodwin?
 Certainly, he replied.
 Mrs. Godwin.' l said, will you marry Jimmy
 Certainly she replied.
 'When?' T asked.
 oh, some day said Whistler.
 That wont do.' l said; we must have a date, -..4,
 "So they both agreed I should choose the day. tell them what church to come to, for the ceremony, provide a clergy man and give the bride away.
 T fixed an early date and got them the chaplain of the house of commons to. perform the ceremony It took place few days later. After the ceremony was over we adjourned to Whistlers studio. where he had prepared a banquet. The banquet was on the table but there were no chairs so we sat on packing cases. The happy pair when I left had not decided whether they would go mat evening to Paris or remain in the studio
 How impractical they were was shown when I happened to meet the bride the day before the marriage in the street.
 Don't forget tomorrow I said.
 "'No she replied; I am just going to buy my rousseau
 "A little late for that is 1t notT I asked.
 Nc she answered: for I am only going to buy a tooth brush and a new sponge. as one ought to have new ones when one marries."
 However, there never was a more suc- cessful marriage. They adored each other and lived most happily together, and when she died he was brokenhearted indeed He never recovered from the loss''
