here Monday by the action OF Attorney

Col. Verdeckberg, commanding the
militia forces in the district, received
a letter from Mr.. Glover denying the
legality OF the recent order for the
surrender of arms by the citizens. In
his letter Glover referred to Gov.
Peabody as "a cheap anarchist" He
declared that he had two guns in his
office and delicd the military to take
them from him. Col. Nerdeckb berg at
once dispatched Maj Naylor with a
squad to capture the attorney and his
weapons. The lawyers office was
found barricaded and Glover appeared
with Il revolver, declaring that he
would shoot the first man who at
tempted to break down the door. The
place was surrounded by troops and
orders were given to shoot the man il
he appeared with his gun again. Later
Glover appeared and several shots

HANNA WILL STEP OUT.
Senator Declines to Serve as Chair
man of National Republican
Committee.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-Walter Wellman,
Washington correspondent OF the Rec
ord-Herald, says: Senator Hanna has
declined, formally and finally, to serve
as chairman of the national republican
committee after the expiration OF his
term, which will be when the national
convention meets in Chicago in June.
Elihu Root may be his successor. MIR.
Root is to retire from the war depart
ment the latter part of next month, and
President Roosevelt has offered him the
craftsmanship of the national committee
Mr.. Root has taken the matter under
consideration. Although at present Mr..
Root is much inclined to adhere strictly
to his determination to retire wholly
from active politics as we'll as from pub
lie life and to devote his entire time to
the practice of law in New York city,
there is still possibility that President
Roosevelt may be able to induce him to
consent to serve as national chairman
and as manager of next years cam
paign. If Mr.. Root shall decline to serve
former Gov. Crane, of Massachusetts,
will be the new head Of the national re-
publican organization. He has con-
scented to take the post if the president
cannot find any one else"

Gen. Reyes. on Eei,alf of Colombia,
Demands Restoration of Condi-
tiuns ON the IslimGS.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Tne statement
10 Secretary Hay by Gen. Reyes and
Low beng considered, contains three
L4s,luct propositions concerning the
canal, as follows:
That the status OF the isthmus before
the revolution be restored.
That The United States content itself
with keeping the railroad open and al
low Colombia TO Try to put down the
revolution.
That ii neither of these propositions
is accepted. the United States agree to
lay Colombia for The loss Of territory
resulting from the attitude of this coun-
try, the amount of damages to be fixed
by The Hague tribunal.
The claim for damages is supported
by long arguments. and is based pri-
marily on the treaty of 1916, in which
it is held that the United States agreed
to maintain Colombia's sovereignty over
the isthmus.
Gen. Reyes hopes to receive in ten
days or two weeks reply sufficiently
favorable to allow him to return to Co.
lombia with assurance that Colombia
will receive compensation for the loss
of the isthmus. Ii he can hold out any
reasonable promise in that direction he
believes he will be able to quiet the war
spirit and induce his countrymen to
wait until the questions between Co.
lombia and the United States and Pan
anna are settled finally. Dr. Herran, the
Colombian charge. expects TO go home
with Gen. Reyes on leave.

JAPAN WAITS On CAR.
Russia Is Considering n Reply That
May Dispcl the War Cloud
in the Orient.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 26.-The Rus.
sian government is still considering
the reply OF the Japanese government
to its note which was sent in answer
to Japan's demands relating to the
situation in the far east. A reconsid-
GRAFTON of the proposals made in the
Russian note is considered as matter
Of course here. Russia has never been
disposed to take any step which would
lead to an abrupt termination of the
negotiations with Japan. In answer
to many inquiries the Russian foreign
Office has always insisted that the Rus.
sian proposals were so liberal that it
would be scarcely probable to conceive
any further concessions. While tho
foreign Office is unwilling to admit
that Russia is prepared to offer more
than the concessions outlined in the
last note, it is considered possible that
by which the Russian requirements
may be met and satisfaction given to
Japan. A rumor has been circulated
here that the United States govern
ment is still inclined to suggest the
reference Of the difficulties between
Russia and Japan to The Hague arbi-
tration tribunal, but this rumor is be-
lieved to be merely the echo Of for
mer suggestion made in the press Of
the United States
Paris, Dec. est was learned in au-
thoritative quarters Saturday that
Japan is about to send a large mill
tary force to Corea, tor the purpose
of restoring and maintaining order at
the disturbed ports. The departure OF
this force is imminent. 1t will prob
ably consist of division of $4,000 men.
will not consider the sending Of troops
to Corea to be an unfriendly act or .
casus belli.
| 1t is anticipated that the departure
of the troops will revive the war ru-
mors, which, however, it is pointed out
in authoritative quarters, will be un-
justified, in view of Russia's acquies-
ence.
! During the recent exchange of cum
munications between Russia and Japan
the former fully recognized the need
of the presence of a strong military au-
thority in Corea, and conceded that
Japan was in the best position to
promptly send troops to the disturbed
points.
The sending of the troops, neverthe-
less, is construed as having an impor-
tant bearing on the present negotia-
tons, as it will be the first conspicu-
Gus evidence Of Japans actual exercise
OF paramount authority over Corea. 1t
is further said in the same quarters
that the preparations for this expedi-
ton We're the cause OF the recent great
activity at the Japanese arsenals and
! dock yards, which it IS asserted has
been enormously ascribed to prepara-
tions against Russia.
