AS GUESTS OF LONDON
Italian SOvereigns Received by the
Mayor and Corporation.

London, Nov. 19.-The welcome of
King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena of Italy to London. as the
guests of the Lord Mayor and corpora
ton, to-day. was of a remarkably cor
dial character.
From the moment of their arrival at
Darlington station. except when ira
versing Hyde Park, the royal process
sion passed beneath one long canopy
of bright colors enhanced here and
there by thiumpha7 arches. Each side
of the route was fringed by troops, be-
hind whom thick masses of people gave
the royal guests a splendid reception.
The weather. which was crisp and
bright lent itself to the holiday MAX
ing. King Victor Emmanuel wore the
uniform of general of Italian Cuiras-
Siers. The Queen was dressed in a
charming lilac silk costume, with a
cream lace toque and cream velvet
cloak.
Proceeding through Hyde Park the
King and Queen reached the Italian
embassy, where was stationed a guard
of honor of Garibaldan veterans. AT
the embassy they held a reception and
received addresses from the Italian COL
ony.
Subsequently the cortege reformed,
and the Italian King and Queen, after
half an hours procession through be-
decked streets, reached the Guild Hall,
where they were greeted by a distin-
guished gathering. Here the Lord
Mayor presented the Italian King the
corporation address in a gold casket.
AT the banquet which followed King
Victor Emmanuel, replying to the Lord
Mayors toast. said:
1--WE are now living under fortunate
conditions of international peace, in the
preservation of which Italy. as well as
England, has become herself a willing
and active factor. l trust the two ma
lions always will proceed united on
the path of progress and civilization"

PROTESTS AGAINST THE
PROMOTION OF WOOD.
The Senate Committee Heard the
Opposition.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE inquiry
of the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs into the opposition to the con-
firmation of the nomination of Gen.
Leonard Wood to be major general in
the army was begun to-day behind
closed doors. Some discussion was had
as to holding open sessions, but it was
decided that as the business before
it was executive. the committee had no
right to make the hearings public.
At the session of the committee to-
day, Senator Teller said he objected
TO Gen. Wood because of the injustice
that was being done to the army by
his promotion.
Senator Hanna said that the action
of Gen. Wood in the Rathbone case was
of a character to show his unfitness
for high command. He said that Gen.
Woods requirement that Rathbone
should give a cash bond of $685. 900 in
American gold when he was first ar
rested was beyond all reason, in view
of the fact that the amount with which
he was charged with Incorporating
was only $4,000. He also spoke of his
long acquaintance with Maj. Rathbone
and reiterated his confidence in his
integrity.
Senator Teller said he felt Rathbone
had been unjustly treated under the
directions of Gen. Wood He then took
up the question of the promotion of
Cen Wood, and went into details to
show that he had been pressed for
ward in what he characterized as an
unprecedented manner.

ers by the Colombian government to
come to the isthmus and negotiate for
terms of peace, looking to the saving
of the national honor" arrived here to-
night on the French steamer Canada.
There was great excitement on the
arrival of the Canada. Hundreds of
persons f1ocked to the neighborhood of
the dock. but were prevented from
reaching the vessel by marines. who
We're landed from the United States
warships as soon as the Canada was
sighted. The marines now guard the
wharf.
Gen. Reyes has declined invitations
to come aboard the Dixie and the May
flower.
The commissioners sent a telegram
to the junta at Panama, asking for
conference there tomorrow. but the
Panama government declined to grant
the request. 1t is expected, however,
that a representative delegation from
Panama will arrive here tomorrow,
and confer with the commissioners on
board the Canada.
The Colombian generals were not
permitted to land at Colon, and it is
considered absolutely certain that their
mission, like that of the commissioners
from the department of Bolivar, will
prove altogether futile.

STILL MORE ROTTENNESS
Charged In Connection With Pat
rOnage in Nebraska.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 19.-An important
development in connection with the in
dictment last Monday by the federal
grand jury of United States Senator
Dietrich and Postmaster Jacob Fisher
of Hastings, Neb., for conspiracy and
bribery, was the sudden summons late
to-day of United States District At
torney Summers to Washington. The
summons, it is stated, came from Pres
ident Roosevelt, and Mr.. Summers left
for Washington tonight.
At least two of the cases now pend
ing before the grand jury, it is said,
are expected to develop testimony of
a much more startling nature than the
Hastings case. 1t is charged that in
the senatorial canvass of two years
ago candidates for United States SEN
ator promised members of the Legis-
lature, in return for their support, the
privilege of naming postmasters in
their respective districts THESE
charges involve several legislative dis
tricts. Later. it is charged, large
number of men appointed to these po-
sitions. paid sums of money for their
anpointment, these payments being
made to the members of the Legislature
in some cases through an intermediary
and others to the members direct. In
some instances. it is said. these sums
ran as high as 81 900.

Peoria, ILL.,, Nov. 19.-Thirty- men
were killed and at least fifteen others
injured in a head-end collision be-
tween freight train and work train
on the Big Four Railroad, between
Mackinaw and fremont this afternoon.
Bodies of twenty-six of the victims
have been taken from the wreck, which
is piled thirty feet high on the tracks.
Five bodies yet remain buried under
the huge pile of broken timber and
twisted and distorted iron and steel.
On a bank at the side of the track
lie the bodies of the victims, cut, bruis-
ed and mangled in a horrible manner.
So far, twelve only have been identi-
fed, the remaining being unrecognized,
even by those who knew them and are
aware of the fact that they are among
the dead. The victims are residents
of neighboring towns
All the dead and most of the injured
were members of the work train, the
crews on both engines jumping in time
to save their lives.
The collision occurred in deep cut
at the beginning of a sharp curve,
neither train being visible to the crew
of the other until they were within
fifty feet of each other. The engin-

Conductor John w. Judge of Indian

wait at MackinaW for the work train,
which was due there at 2:40 o'clock.
Instead of doing this, he failed to stop.
The engineer of the work train, George
Becker, had also received orders to
pass the freight at Mackinaw, and was
on the way to that station. The work
train was perhaps five minutes late,
and was running at full speed.
One of the last bodies recovered was
that of William Bailey of Mackinaw,
who had been lifted thirty feet into

1t Was for This REASON That a
Woman Killed Herself.
Chicago, Nov. 19.-Because her face
had been marred by i'll health, Mrs.
Lulu w. Brennan has killed herself by
the use of chloroform at the Del Prado
Hotel.
The reason for the suicide developed
at the coroner's inquest to-day. Mrs.
Brennan was the wife of a wealthy
citizen of Denver, and up to four years
ago, when she contracted blood poi
soning, she reigned among the bellies
of Denver society. She felt the loss
of her beauty deeply, and last October
came to Chicago and placed herself
in the hands of a beauty doctor"
Even at the hotel her face was covered
by a veil
Must 1 always be the yelled woman?
Will people always stare at my face
because it is ugly, just as they were
once attracted by my beauty?" This
plant burst from the afflicted woman
recently, according to her maid. On
another occasion she said to an uncle
living in Chicago. Death is prefer
able to life in this condition." but she
laughed and no more was thought of
her words.
The verdict Of the coroner's jury
was that Mrs. Brennan committed sui
eide while insane.

THEY CALL ON GLASS.
Pannmaninns Returned the Formal
Visit of the Admiral.

Panama, Nov. 18.-Two events of
great magnitude to them cheered the
hearts of the isthmians yesterday. The
junta, accompanied by Ministers Mo-
rales and Arias, returned the official
visit of Rear Admiral Glass on board
the flagship Marblehead. On boarding
the cruiser they were received by Ad-
miral Glass and the commanders of
the United States warships Wyoming
and Boston. All the American vessels
manned ship, the flag of the republic
of Panama was hoisted and salutes
of twenty-one guns were fired by each
ship.
Senior Arias, in the name of the junta,
said the interests of Panama and the
United States were so closely inter
woven that the latter had not hest
tated to stand, it might be said, as
sponsor for Panama to the world, in
being the first to recognize its indie
pendence.
Admiral Glass, in reply, said that
one of the happiest moments of his
life was when saluting, for the first
time, the flag of the republic of Pan
anna. He drank to it's future and to
the welfare of it's founders.
The second event of great impor-
tance to the Panamanians was the re-
ceipt of news from the Associated
Press that France had recognized the
republic. Large crowds, with a band
of music went to the residence of the
French consul, who courteously receiv-
ed his numerous friends amid frenzed
cheers for France.

SCIENCE HALL BURNS
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA VISITED
BY A DISASTROUS FIRE.
LOSS AMOUNTS TO $4,000.
ON THIS THERE is BUT $500 OF
INSURANCE.

Fire Had Made Such Roadway When
II Was Discovered That 1t Was
Impossible for the Firemen to
Check It-Their Engines Were De-
voted to Saving Neighboring
buildings - Several Times Phi
Kappa Hall Caught.
Athens, Ca. Nov. 19.-To-night at 8
o'clock Science Hall. on the campus of
the University of Georgia was totally
destroyed by fire.
The fire originated from the furnace
on the basement floor, and ate its way
almost to the top of the building be-
fore it was discovered. The fire de-
partment was called out in a hurry
and made a quick run, but the fire had
gained a terrific Roadway. and it was
impossible to check it. 1t burned on
with great fury for more than an hour,
as the firemen fought to keep 1t from
setting fire to the other buildings.
Several times the Phi Kappa Hall,
built by Alexander H. Stephens in
1881, caught fire, but the flames were
put out. There was luckily little wind
or the fire might have spread to other
buildings. Within 100 yards of the fire
were over 5000 bales of cotton on the
streets, but the wind happened to be
blowing a little in the other direction,
and that averted a conhagration.
The building was erected by an APP
preparation of the Legislature in 1897,
and cost 1923, 900. The equipment con-
sisted of the biological laboratory and
the chemical laboratory and other class
room fixtures. The entire equipment is
thought to have been worth $4,000,
making the entire loss $4,000. On this
there is only $4,000 of insurance. The
records in the office of the chancellor
and the office of the president of the
State College of Agriculture and Me-
chanic Arts were totally destroyed.
The effect upon the university will be
quite disastrous. The classes in the
departments of biology chemistry, eth
les, psychology and chemical laborato-
ry are all thrown out. with very little
recitation room to accommodate them.
The faculty will make the best pro-
vision possible until the state provides
the money with which to replace the
buildings.

WANT PANAMA TO
PAY COLOMBIA'S DEBT.
BondhOlders Think This Would Be
Only Fair and Right.

Only Fair and Right.
London. Nov. 19.-The council of for
eign bondholders has received a COM
munication from Amsterdam saying
that the Chamber of Commerce there
will request the government of the
Netherlands not to recognize the new
republic of Panama until some ar
rangement is arrived at whereby the
new republic assumes an equitable
share of the Colombian debt. The ma
jority of the bonds are held in England
and Holland.
The British Foreign Office has re-
piled to the Colombian bondhoders by
assuring them of it's interest in their
case, but not committing the govern
ment to any specific course of action.
The secretary of the council of for
eign bondholders, in an interview with
a representative of the Associated
Press to-day, said:
1--WE have not the slightest objection
to Panamas independence and think
the American action calculated to pro-
mote the benefits of all concerned. Our
view is that Panama, having greatly
benefited by the money sunk in the
country by British and other bondhold-
erS, should assume a certain portion
of the debt of the country to which it
recently belonged"
When asked what he considered to be
an equitable proportion, the secretary
replied
Probably one-third, but that should
be left to an arbitrator. The total
Colombian debt with interest, is about
$15,O0O,00O So far as the British bond
holders are concerned, we would rather
accept the bonds of the new republic
than anything issued by Colombia. So,
if Panama does not wish to give up
cash, an issue of bonds on her part
or the acceptance of responsibility for
part of the present Colombian issue
would be quite acceptable
