MAY SOON TREAT
WITH PANAMA

Washington. November S.-Yester
days advices to the State Department
indicated q regular development OF the
new government of Panama.
The most important announcement
indicative of speedy establishment oi
full diplomatic relations with the new
republic was the appointment of Phil
ippe Bunau-Varilla as the agent Of
Panama In the United States.
With him the United States govern
ment will transact any necessary bust
ness in an unofiicial way pending the
appointment of regular ministers plen-
ipotentiary. He is In Washington.
Reports have reached Paris that Co
lombia is sending a large army over
land to capture Panama and Colon.
The State Department has decided
that SO far as it is concerned it regards
the treaties that govern Colombia. or
as to New Granada, as still in force,
and that therefore all of the conces-
sions. including that of the Panama
Canal Company. are valid and in force.
The State Department also has de-
cided that owing to the fact that the
Spooner canal act in terms required the
United States government, before be-
ginning the canal. to conclude treaty
with Colombia. the spirit of the act
will be met by the conclusion of an ar
rangement with the new state of Pan
anna on the lines of the Spooner act
and 1t will proceed to this end.

HORSES TIED TO HOLES.
Unique Method by Which Indians
Secure Their Ponies.

1t has been discovered that the
desert Indians, who have never been
accredited with superabundant wit,
have for many years employed a
method of tying their horses to holes
in the ground that is clever, unique
and effective says the Los Angeles
Herald.
The operation is performed in this
way: Keeping on the hot sands the
Indians dig with their hands. which
are about as hard and impervious to
pain as dogs paws.
They work energetically until they
have made hole about two feet deep.
Then they tie an immense knot in the
end of the halter rope, lower it into
the bottom of the hole, fill the
hole with sand and then jump and
stamp upon 1t unit the earth over the
knot Is about as hard as sandstone. 1t
is curious performance, but the skill
of the idea merits applause, for 1t may
be of practical benefit to many 4
weary traveller whose horse Is his only
living companion in some heartless
plain, where he clings to his ship.
Instances have been related of de-
sert travellers. who. completely ex-
hausted by the heat, tied the halter
rope about leg, an arm or the body
and lay down in the hot sands to rest.
As they slept the animals. craxed for
water, became like wild things and
plunged madly away. dragging their
human anchors to destruction and
death.

GERMAN EMPEROR
is OPERATED ON

Berlin, Nov. 8.-Emperori William
yesterday underwent an operation for
the removal Of polypus from his lar
ynx. The operation was performed by
Professor Morris Schmidt and was en-
tirely successful. The only inconveni-
ence suffered by his majesty is that
he has been enjoined not to speak until
the wound caused by the operation
should be healed The bulletins an
tnouncing the result Of the operation
caused much excitement, even among
court officials. who had no suspicion
that his majesty was suffering from
any affection of the throat.
The emperor himself appears not to
have known Of the growth In his lar
ynx until few days ago. and to have
suffered no discomfort from 1t.
The following Is an authorized ac-
count of the operation as given to the
North German Gazette:
His majesty to-day underwent an
operation for the removal Of a polypus
from his larynx. The operation was
performed by Professor Moritz Schmidt
and was most successful. His majesty
is only enjoined not to speak until the
wound caused by the operation is
healed"
Grave fears are entertained outside
the castle. 1t is recalled that Emperor

SENTENCE AGAINST GEN. CHASE
IS RENTED BY GOV. PEABODY

Denver, Nov. 8.-Goyernor Peabody
yesterday approved the findings of the
court martial which tried Brigadier
General John Chase Of the National
Guard OF Colorado and found him
guilty of disobedience of orders; but
In the same order the governor makes
the verdict and sentence OF that body
OF no efYect by remitting the sentence
and restoring General Chase to his
command without SO much as a re-
primand. except SO far as his approval
OF the finding of the court that the
general disobeyed orders may be SO
construed.
The finding of Governor Peabody
closes with the following paragraph:
In view Of the distinguished services
heretofore rendered the state OF Colo
rado by Brig. Gen. John Chase. the
sentence is remitted and General Chase
is restored to duty"
The News give the following account,
which practically corresponds with
that Of the Republican, of the recep-
ton Of the governors action by the
persons interested:
General Chase was, of course,
pleased. II believed it would happen, !"
he said, as he stood in the midst of his
friends. smiling at them and thanking
them for the aid they had given him.

his answer to a question. I'm going

general strobe out of the lobby of the
Brown and hurried to the capitol
building.
Not until afternoon did any one re-
alize what a double-edged decision
Governor Peobody had given. He ap-
proved the sentence of the court and
found General Chase guilty. Then he
turned around and "in view of the dis
tinguished services heretofore rendered
the state Of Colorado by Brig. Gen.

Denver, Nov. 9.-The News sums ur
the strike situation this morning as
follows:
With the exception of a few indie
pendent mines there will be a general
strike in the northern coal fields this

nous decision of the miners of the
northern district on the referendum
vote on the schedule submitted by the
operators. The miners of the Northern
Coal and Coke Company will quit work

operators have promised to give their
men eight hours. These mines will
