In official circles last night that the
United States of Colombia has lodged

in connection with the events that
have occurred on the isthmus Of Pan
anna.
The Presidents yacht Mayhower
left the navy yard here yesterday for
Colon. Aboard her is Consul General
H. e. Gudger. the United State~ con-
sui general at Panama, who goes to
that place to assume full charge Of the

flower is expected to reach her destina-
tion in about eight days. On his arrival

Mitchell for the Cabinet.

Pittsburg. Pa, Nov. 9.-The Dis
patch publishes story to the effect
that John Mitchell will not be candi-
date for reelection as president OF the
United Mine Workers Union at the
January convention. This statement
was made by a close personal friend OF
Mr.. Mitchell during a short lay-over
here of the miners president and other
officials of the organization, who are
on their way to Boston to attend the
convention Of the American Federation
Of Labor.
The announcement from this appar-
emily authentic source is raised above
mere rumor.
The same gentleman said that Mr..

Roosevelt would be reelected. decided
to lay aside the miners ofiice to become
member OF the Presidents Cabinet.

MAY SOON TREAT
WITH PANAMA

Washington, November S.-Yester-
days advices to the State Department
indicated regular development of the
new government Of Panama.
The most important announcement
Indicative of speedy establishment Of
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 busi-
ness in an unofficial way pending the
appointment of regular ministers plen-
ipotentiary. He is in Washington.
Reports have reached Paris that CO.
lombia is sending large army over
land to capture Panama and Colon.
The State Department has decided
that so far as It is concerned 1t regards
the treaties that govern Colombia. or
as to New Granada, as still in force,
and that therefore all of the cQnces-
s!ons. 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
Spoorer 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.

COLORADO STATE
CAPITAL AFFAIRS
saeuache County Protest.

Petitions signed by 1876 citizens OF
Saguache county have been sent to the
Colorado representatives in the Senate
and House protesting against the es-
tablishment Of the proposed Coche-
topa forest reserve as recommended by
the Geological Survey. The petitions
state that the proposed reserve covers
all the mountainous parts from the
north line of the present San Isabel re-
serve north along the Sangre de Cristo
range to Marshall Pass. the Bonanza
and Cochetopa country and Saguache
park and all that co.ntry to La Gar
ita creek. The petitioners are opposed
to the reserve, lecause they say 1t
will not benefit irrigation or preserve
the water supply; because the stock in
terests of the county are large and the
ranges in the proposed reserve are nee
essary to range stock in the summer;
that much land remains in the pro-
posed reserve suitable for homesteads,
and is being filed on at the rate of
forty small filings yearly by home
makers. The petitioners declare that
the forests are larger and better in the
proposed reserve than they were when
the country was first settled and are
being preserved by stockmen and farm
ers of the region. They say the senti-
ment Of the people of the county is
unanimous against the proposed re-
serve.

MEETS AT BOSTON

Boston, Nov. 1O.-The twenty-third

ment was taken late in the afternoon

his annual address to the delegates
and Secretary Frank Morrison and
Treasurer John b. Lennon presented
their annual statements. About 450
delegates were present when the ses-
sion was called to order.
President Gompers' address took up
most OF the afternoon. II showed that
the gain in membership Of the affiliat-
ed international unions and of the
American Federation Of Labor during
the last year had been 442.100.
Mr.. Gompers reviewed at length
what the federation had accomplished
during the year, and he made numer-
GUS recommendations. He pointed out
that the grave danger which confronted
their movement was the internecine
strife due to the conflicting claims OF
trade Jurisdiction. Mr.. Gompers con-
demned such antitrust legislation as
was secretly against labor and urged
eternal vigilance with respect to leg
islation.
President Gompers. in his annual re-
port. announced the granting Of 1888
charters during the past year and said
there were now 2.438 other labor un-
ions affiliated with the American Fed

gathered from its correspondence:
More than 10000 coal miners IN
Colorado refused yesterday to return
to work, and the tie-up is more COM
plete than operators had anticipated or
union agitators had hoped for.
In Las Animas county, the principal
battle-ground, the union leaders assert
that only 118 of the 5000 men employed
in the various camps reported for work
yesterday. The operators declare that
about 1000 were employed.
Huerfano county has 1910 miners, OF
whom 450 walked out yesterday.
Fremont county is tied up with near
ly every one of the 1900 miners idle.
In the northern field 1900 men are
reported idle, while 400 are at work in
Independent properties.
At the Leyden mine. west Of Denver.
100 men are out.
Western Colorado is affected but lit
tie. thirty men having struck yester-
day. Agitators are diligent there, and
the army Of strikers may be recruited
by 200.
Only twenty men struck In Wyom-
ing. and none in Utah.
New Mexico is affected. The union
leaders at Trinidad say eighty per
cent. of the men are out, but this il
largely a guess. as the remoter camps
have not been heard from.

Denxer, Nov. 10.-The News this
tion as follows:
Estimates from the Trinidad district
show that about 5000 miners obeyed
the order to strike yesterday morning.
officials of the United Mine Workers
say coal miners cannot be hired to take
their places. as tho Alabama and other
fields are thoroughly organized.
A Colorado & Southern official who
visited most of the camps north of
Trinidad yesterday said that when as
surances of protection are given the
men many of them will go back. It Is
his opinion the mines will then be able
to run on half time.
The strikers, however. declare their
firm intention to stay out until their
demands are complied with. The Col
orado Fuel and Iron Company has no
titled all married men in its employ
that they will be evicted from the COM
pany dwellings by Friday morning II
they fail to return to work.
The strike in the Walsenburg district
is being conducted very quietly. No at
tempt at picketing or other demonstra-
ton has been made by the miners.
At Leyden, near Golden, $50 miners
quit work.
All mines in the Fremont district
with the exception of one of the in
dependent mines were idle yesterday.
At Chandler creek most of the negro
miners have left, and only about ten
families remain. The Williams mine
management has signed the scale and
has resumed operations.

WAY TO COLLECT
RAILROAD TAKES

Denver, Nov. 10-The Colorado
Court of Appeals handed down an opin-
ion in the case of d. E. Dobbins. as
county treasurer of Boulder county.
against the Colorado & Southern Rail-
way Company to the effect that county
treasurers may ask for receivers for
railways which do not pay their taxes.
1t was contended on the part OF the
county treasurer that he had the right
to attach the rolling stock OF the road
for the non-payment Of taxes. This
contention was not sustained by Judge
Gunter in giving the opinioni Of the
court. The remedy OF the treasurer
is the asking for receiver for the
road.
The case was commenced in 1898,
when the road in question was in the
possession Of the Union Pacific. Denver
& Gulf Railway Company. Later 1t
was transferred to the Colorado &
Southern, which latter road ownsit at
the present time. In the trial court 1t
was held that the treasurer Of the
county did not have case against the
railway and for this reason the suit
was dismissed. Dobbins, however,
clung to his contention and the case
was appealed.
Judge Gunter states in the opinion
that the road cannot be sold In part.
although all OF the county treasurers
through which the road passes could
get together and sell all Of the road
II they saw fit. But the proper remedy.
1t is claimed by the court, is to apply
to court of equity for receiver.
The case is an important ono In that
1t will give the county treasurers the
right to go ahead and ask for receivers
for all roads which do not pay their
taxes.

GERMAN EMPEROR
Is OPERATED ON

Berlin, Nov. 8-Emperor 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
nouncing 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 a 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:
Ills majesty to-day underwent an
operation for the removal of 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. It Is recalled that Emperor
Frederick William ILL.,. father OF En-
peror William ii. the present monarch.
was taken Ill with precisely the same
ailment-or at least 1t was so dag
nosed. Within few months after. he
died Of cancer. and the surgeons who
had operated on him precisely as 9th
ers have now done on Emperor Will
liam were bitterly denounced for hav-
ing mistaken the disease and given the
wrong treatment.

Denver, Nov. S.-Oovernor 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 effect by remitting the sentence
and restoring General Chase to his

of the finding of the court that the
general disobeyed orders may be SO

The finding of Governor Peabody
closes with the following paragraph:
''In view of the distinguished services
heretofore rendered the state of Colo

is restored to duty"

which practically corresponds with

persons interested:
