SECURITIES COMPANY
ACCEPTS THE DECISION.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2O.-President
James ]. Hill of the Northern Securi-
ties Company was in the city to-day.
In connection with his visit the Phil
adelphia Record tomorrow will print
the following:
From an authority close to Mr..
Hill it was learned that on the advice
of counsel. it had been decided to
surrender every right granted under
the New Jersey corporation law to
the Northern Securities Company. ex-
cept that of purchasing such securi-
ties as the management may see fit
to obtain from an investment view
point. The Securities Company is to
declare before the Federal Supreme
Court that each of these big rail-
roads is to be continued under separate
managements, and that there is no
community of interests agreement be-
tween them: in fact they are to be
maintained as separate companies and
each to have individual management
and offices as before the merger.
The meaning of this, according to
one of the attorneys for the Securities
Company. is that the judgment of the
Circuit Court of Appeals declaring the
merger void is accepted by the COM
pany.

The condemned man was calm to

your nerve, are you, Joe?"
Soon after the trap fell, the specta-

hands with Sheriff Proctor and con-
graduating him upon the execution. All

their eyes on Horns friends through

the party that captured Geronimo, and
was chief of scouts under Gen. Miles

Horn was suspected of having COM
mitted several murders beside the one
for which he was hanged.

New York. Nov. Ex-senator Hanna
of Ohio was one of the speakers at the
annual banquet of the Society of Ma
val Architects tonight. Among those
present was R. A. Post of the New

Hanna defended the shipping bill. He
declared that during the campaign h
made the shipping bill an issue and
everywhere it was wen received.
Il did this" he said. that the pub
lie might know the bill was not dead
The charge was made against me by
the opposition in Ohio that l support
cd this bill. l told my constituents
that if they sent me back to the Sem
ate 1 would try again to pass the ship
ping bill, and that l would keep on try
ing until 1 get 1t through"
"One of the most important things
we need to-day" he continued, lis an
auxiliary to our navy Those of us
who had experience in the Spanish war
discovered this. Our farmers did not
know or appreciate our need in this
direction. l told them that if there
should be a war between this and any
other important maritime country,
their grain would rot in their
graneries without an auxiliary to
our navy. In our educational cam
paign let me say the Senate is all
right. Begin on the House"

DIDN'T CARE TO DISCUSS
ALIEN IMMERSION
Georgia Baptist Convention Laid the Question
Upon the Table.

The greater part Of the morning ses-
sion was taken up by the discussion
of Monroe College. The trustees of
that institution wanted the convention
to give them the right to mortgage
the property to meet the debt upon it
incurred by the building of new DOR
mitory in the event the necessary
money could not be raised in time by
subscription. The convention finally
voted against allowing the privilege
asked, but decided to make a strong
effort to raise the money within the
next six months.
At the afternoon session the conven-
ton engaged in a long discussion of
the question of Baptist schools receiv-
ing aid in a financial way from the
state, and decided that no Baptist
school under the patronage of the con-
vention should participate in any of the
school funds of the state.

Front to the COIOmbians.
Washington, Nov. 2O.-The Navy De-
partment to-day made public reports
of Commander John Hubbard, COM
handing the Nashville, on recent opera
tionS of the men under his command
at Colon since the revolution on the
isthmus of Panama was started. These
reports covered the threatened firing
on the city of Colon by the Colombian
troops under Col. Torres, which was
prevented by Commander Hubbard, and
the arrival and subsequent departure
of the Colombia gunboat Cartagena
with 400 or 500 troops aboard.
The statements made by Commander
Hubbard give a detailed official de-
scription of what already has been con-
tanned in the Associated Press dis
patches.
Under date of Nov. 5 Commander
Hubbard invites attention to the oc-
currences of Wednesday, Nov. 4, which
he says amounted practically to the
making of war against the United
States by the officer in command of
the Colombian troops in Colon
This was the result of the threat
of Col. Torres, the Colombian COM
mander, that if Colombian officers
seized in Panama We're not released,
he would open fire on Colon and kill
every United States citizen in the
place. On hearing this threat, Com
mander Hubbard landed marines and
took possession of the Panama rail-
road buildings. He reports:
THE Colombians surrounded the
oil, ,ali faIx xHyo
had taken possession, and for about
one and a half hours, their attitude
was most threatening, it being SEEM
ingly their purpose to provoke an at
tack. Happily, our men were cool and
steady, and while the tension was very
great, no shot was fired
Col. Torres subsequently explained
the whole affair was due to a misap-
prehension. Commander Hubbard
says:
II am positive that the determined
attitude of our men, their GOODNESS and
evident intention of standing their
ground had a most salutary and de-
cisive effect on the immediate situa-
ton, and was the initial step in the
ultimate abandonment of Colon by
these troops and their return to Carta-
gena the following day.
Il feel that 1 cannot sufficiently
strongly represent to the department
the grossness of this outrage, and the
insult to our dignity, even apart from
the saVagery of the threat"

British Statesmen Talked Upon His
Fiscal Policy.
Cardiff, Wales. Nov. 2O-Joseph
Chamberlain addressed a great au-
dience here tonight
Mr.. Chamberlain appealed especial
ly to the interests of the workingmen,
the miners and agriculturists, and said
he believed the cause of tariff reform
had been UNNECESSARILY improved with
in the last six weeks. He believed
that the policy of free trade, which
has prevailed for the last sixty years,
was doomed.
He predicted that the export trade
in Welsh coal would not last, because
it was inevitable that other countries
would become self-supporting He said
that Wales must be prepared to de-
fend it's own trade, and instanced the
Welsh tin plate trade, which, he said,
received a staggering blow at the
hands of the United States through
the Mckinley tariff"
Resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed by the meeting, promising hearty
support to Mr. Chamberlain's fiscal
policy.

as soon as the Georgia Baptist Con-

mersion was brought up by Rev. j.
E. Hudson of Adalrsville, who moved
to withdraw fellowship from the Tab
ernacle Baptist Church in Atlanta, of
which Dr. L. G. Broughton is pastor.
DR.. Broughton was present, but did not
say a word on the subject. The con-
vention was in no humor to discuss it
and laid it on the table by an over
whelming vote. which was greeted by
applause, which the chairman had to
stop.
The sympathies of the convention
were extended to the university au-
thorities over the loss of Science Hall
by fire last night.

NO USE TO WHINE.
A Truly Medical View of n Very

From Medical Talk

There isn't anything in the world
more disagreeable than a whining per-
son. He whines If 1t is hot. He whines
if it is cold. He whines at this. he
whines at that. he whines at every
thing. Whine, whine. whine. 1t is
Just a habit he has fallen into. There
is nothing the matter with him. 1t is
Just n bad habit.
The wilmer is generally an idle per-
son or a lazy one. What he needs Is
to he set to work-at real hard work,
mental or physical. Some work that
will interest him and engage his whole
attention, ana he will not have time to
whine. We know two women. One
of them does her own housewOrk ana
takes care Of her horse besides. She
is happy and singing all the day long.
The keyboard of her life sounds no
