EFFECT OF DEFEAT.
Advance of the British Forces Into
Somaliland to Be Suspended.

Alden, Arabia. May 3 - In conse-
quence OF the recent British revcrses
in Somaliland it is reported here that
the advance of the British expedition
has been suspended indefinitely. Maj.
Gen. Egerton is mentioned as the sue
cessor of Brig. Gen. Manning. In
formation here indicates that the COM
plete reorganization OF the executive
heads OF the expedition would be con-
sidered advantageous. 1t is feared
that the recent victory will embolden
the forces of the Mad Mullah to at
tack isolated posts. The force at the
disposal of Gen Manning is insufficient
for offensive purposes. and it is en-
pected he will strengthen his posts
and remain in activity until after the
hot weather.

Traders Imbued With the Small
 Crop Idea.

New York. Nov. n.-Trading in cotton continued feverishly active and excited today and "old timers'' say that never before in the history of the trade has there been so remarkable market as that of the recent past.
 With receipts at a record-breaking vol. urue. the trade seemed so thoroughly i'm bued with small crop ideas that some one Is waiting. apparently, to buy on every break and in spite of the feelinng of pro- fessfonals that a reaction must come, prices today showed sensational under. current of strength and bullishness.
 The market, influenced by heavy re. ceipts and lower cables, opened 5 to points lower but was almost at once ral- lied to last nights prices. As the esti- mates for tomorrow'S receipts came in it was written down by heavy hquida- ton to level net F to 24 points lower.
 Then, with weather accounts bad tha bulls again took hold, the bears were driven to cover. buying orders came in from the outside and before the afternoon was we'll under way prices were working upward.

A great deal depends upon whether the business world which inter ests itself in the actions of the two great political parties and the confidence Of which Mir.

 It is worth remarking that there is an- other Senator who keeps close touch with the captains of industry and the masters of finance who is a much sought coun- sellor in these affairs. It is Aldrich of Rhode Island. Senator Aldrich has urged caution upon Senator Hanna in his de- cision as to the chairmanship of the cam paign committee, reminding the Ohio Sem ator that very many momentous things may happen in Washington. this winter. If caution is to prevail, as desired by the Rhode Island Senator, then 1t is quite likely that Hanna will not decide what he will do at the next meeting of the Committee and that the matter will be postponed until the Fifty-eighth Congress shall have become easier to understand as to its temper and capacities.
 The truth is the Republican leaders re- alize that they must contend with a mas terful politician directing the movements of their adversaries. In short. the possi- ble German tactics is giving the Republi- cans a great deal of occasion for serious reflection. Accustomed. to relying upon Democratic blunders, the reappearance of so adroit an adept in modern politics as the Maryland Senator in the van of an apparent united Democracy in Congress, has made the Republicans distinctly un- easy. Just now their forces in Congress are marking time and keeping their eyes on Mark Hanna.

TO PRESERVE
 NEW NATION Altitude of the AdminiS-
 tratiOn. RECONCILIATION UNDESIRED Significant Statements Made
 in Washington. Negotiations With Colombia Have Convinced Roosevelt and Hay of Futility of Negotiating for
 Canal Treaty.
RECoNCnATI0NUN UNDESIRED

Washington, Nov. 17.--The State De- partment to-day received an undated ca- blegram from United States Consul Gen. eral Gudger at Panama which evidently was written yesterday. The consul gen. eral says:
 Tn the Department of Panama all the oficials are supporting the republic. and the sentiment in its favor is unanimous. Life and property are fully protected. The commissioners, Francisco Padra, c. Pahara. c. Insagoro and General Deme- trio Davilla. from the United States of Colombia, have arrived at Colon. The commissioners from the Republic of Pan- anna will meet them.
 4he important feature of MT. Gudger's dispatch is the statement that these com missioners represent the United States of Colombia and not a single state of that republic.
 It is expected here that the commis- sioners in the beginning will seek to se- cure the revocation of an act of separa- tion by Panama, holding out as in- ducements certain pledges that a new treaty on the lines of the failed Hay Herran canal treaty will be put through with all expedition at Bogota. This prom. ise would be easy of redemption. as un- der the Colombian constitution when an D6- comes practical dictator with liberty to conclude treaties, and make any arrange ments he pleases with external Powers.
 No Other Treaty.
 But 1t Is said that experience which the State Department thus far has had with the Colombians in treaty-making is not of a character to induce 1t to negotiate another treaty, so such a course as Is proposed will receive no support from our Government
 The commissioners from Colombia are expected next to propose 10 Panama that 1t assume a fair share of the Colombian national debt as the price of independ- once.
 It is said at the State Department that Admiral John c. Walker is charged espe. cially with solution of the physical phases of the canal problem and that. he will not interfere in the political devei- oprnents unless Consul-General Gudgef seeks his advice.
 The Panama Canal Company has been prosecuting the work of canal construc- ton for many months past under an agreement with the State Department, which taoltly admits the liability of the United States for the cost of this con nnuation of the work. As some of the French press continue to urge the canal directors to cancel their engagements to sell the property to the United States, 1t is pointed out at the State Department that no such cancellation can be effected without breach of contract that would not be tolerated by either the French Government or the Government of the United States.

PLEASED WITH IsTHMIANs.
Bolivar Commission Asks for a Re-
 conciliation.

Colon, Nov. 1.-The Panama Commis- sion which left Panama yesterday to meet the peace commission from the De- partment of Bolivar aboard the Mayflow- CT today held a short conference with the Colombians who only represent the De- pertinent of Bolivar and the Governor of that Department. The Colombians ask ed the Panamians if they would return to the Republic of Colombia assuring them concessions and considerations on the passage of a canal treaty.
 The Panamians replied that they would not return to the Republic of Colombia, and declared the assurances came too late as Panama's position was so advant- ageous and strong that they could not see any reason for changing.
 The Colombians will return to Savanilla this afternoon on the British steamer Trent. They will not land at Colon, but will remain on the Mayfower until . D. m. when they will be transferred to the Trent.
 During the conference NIcanor Insigna- res. a brother of the Governor of the State of Bolivar. who was the spokesman of the Colombsans, made a strong appeal to the Panamians not to disrupt the Re- public of Colombia. and he supplemented his appeal by the solemn assurance that Colombia would grant all the rights de- manded by the Isthmians and eventually cary out their grand project of building the canal
 Replying to Senor Insignares, Senor Tomas Arias, representing the Junta, said the Bogota government and the CoIom- hians generally did not appear to Rrasn the actual conditions prevailing on the tSthmus. The revolution, he said. was born absolutely from the unanimous de- sire of the entire people of Panama and was irrevocable. It was the act of a now independent government already thor oughly organized and formally recognized by the United States government in ra- ceivinR It's representative. Senor M. Phil lippe Bunau-Varilla as well by the gov ernmeEts of France and Italy. Continu- ing, Senor Arias said:
 Colombia will always find in this coun- try the most sincere brotherly feeling. The political ties binding the isthmus to Colombia have been broken but the fault is not that of the Isthmus. The ties of affection however. can never be broken"
 Senor Insignares In answer expressed his deep sorrow at finding that the hopes of reconciliation were impossible of real nation and that the actions of the peo- pie O. the Isthmus of Panama were ir- revocable. He declai ed that all the peo- pie of Colombia would unite in an efrort to enforce the rights of the republic on the Isthmus of Panama. even at the cost of great sacrthes.
 Senors Arisemona and Morales then de- ltvered addresses in which they expressed views similar to those enunciated by se- nor Arias. The threat of Senor InsIgnares that the republic of Colombia would en- force its alleged rights in isthmian ter ritory did not cause apprehension to the Panamian commissioners who received 1t with equanimity and dd not give 1t any serious consideration.
 It was announced unoflcially by the Co., lombian commissioners that General
