,a Unable to Agree.
Bogota, Colombia, Tuesday, Nov. "a
Gen. Reyes cabled to the Colombian gov
eminent Sunday from Port Limon, Co.'S
ia Rica, that he was unable to do my
thing regarding the canal with the Pa
namaScommission, at the, conference
held November 20 on board the French
steamer Canada, off Colon. He added:
"The Americans prevented us from
landing at Colon. Admiral Coghlan
informed me that he had instructions
from Washington to prevent Colombian
troops from landing on the coasts of the
isthmus."
Colombian public opinion strongly
condemns the attitude of the govern
ment at Washington, which, it is
claimed, decidedly helps the secession
movement in Panama.
Confirms Closing OF Ports.
Colon, Nov. 26.-The Italian steamer
Venezuela, which arrived here Wednes-
day from Savanilla, confirms the previ-
Gus statements to the effect that Carta-
gena and Sayanilla are closed to steam
ers going to or coming from Colon. The
Venezuela agents at Savanilla repre-
scented that the Venezuela was not aware
of the closing of the ports and asked as
a special favor that a Colon clearance
be granted. The authorities acquiesced,
but said they could not do so again.
The decree closing the ports of Carta-
gena and Savanilla originated with the
government of the department of Boil
var. The protests of the foreign con-
suls and steamship agents are still I'M

that he had made a half way bluff

morning, and shortly after 8 O'Clock
there was quite a heavy shower, ar
other following apout 7:I5. There
was an intermittent rain during the
remainder Of tho forenoon.
The crops all over the state, bus
particularly in this. section, wers
suffering greatly for rain, and No
doubt many thousand dollars damage
to them has been prevented by today's

The farmers everywhere, who for
weeks had been complaining, seemed
very happy today.
By the end of the week there will
be quite a reduction in the price OF
garden truck, which was sent soaring
sky high by the dry weather.

GOVERNOR MAY COME
In All Depends on Where He
Happens to be at the Time.
He Has Already Promised q Great
Deal of His Time This Fall.

Colonel Edward o. Leigh, private
secretary to Governor Beckham, came
down this morning from Frankfort to
vote in the primary, and in regard to
the governors coming to Paducah dur
ing the Red Mems carnival, he stated
that he could not say what the pros
poets are. Governor Beokham has re.
ceived many invitations to open or at
tend county fairs and fall carnivals,
and has accepted some, and some he
has not.
Whether or not he will come to Pa
ducah depends largely on where he
happens to be about that time. He
expects to come here the latter part of
the campaign, and it may be he can
not get here during carnival week.
Colonel Leigh, however, does no t
krow what dates the governor has
made beyond the last Of next week,
and if he happens TO be near enough,
the chief executive may drop down to
Psducah during the week, and later
fill his regular engagement here.
1t lie believed that Colonel Morris
K. Belknap, the Republican nominee
for governor, will also be here. The
candidates for various other state
Offices will be asked to come.

BALLOTS NOW ALL IN
The Tale is Told but the Result
is Not Yet Known
A Light Vote Reported Polled in the
Democratic Primary
Today.
BOTH SIDES SEEM CONFIDENT

The Democratic city primary did
not arouse enough interest, it is
claimed, to bring out a very heavy
vote.
The workers who have been around
today report light vote. There has
been considerable hustling about, how
ever, and there is plenty of excitement
among those who are taking an active
part in the election.
A large number of Democrats from
/ indications, staid at home. There is
talk Of having an independent ticket
in the field for certain local element.
and if it is put out it will probably
claim great many Democratic votes.
In today's primary, however, both
sides claim t. lave won. Colonel Joe
Potter stated in response 10 an inquiry
that he did not know himself how
things were running, hut his friends
told him that he was making a good
showing. His strength will be in the
outlying precincts principally.
The Yeiser men claim they have
won by from 400 to 600 majority.
The general opinion is that Mr.. Ran
dali will not cut much figure in the
race.

result will probably be known by 10

About one-third of the space sur
rounded by the ten miles of walls of
the city of Marrakesh, is occupied by
the palace and private grounds of the
sultan. The extremely picturesque APP
pearance of the city, when viewed at a
distance, disappears on near APP

of decay, dead horses, mules and cam

wretched dogs which abound. Gene

the walls. BY four right-angle turns
one may gain. entrance to the gates.

Tower, the sight of which one never

magnificent monument of Moorish
taste, entirely inlaid with beautifully
colored tiles. Several legends of the
three "solid gold balls" upon the top,
are told. Marrakesh, like all Moorish
