The strange disappearance of Mr..
Kent J. LOOMS, brother of Asst. Secy
of State Loomis, and a messenger in T.
that august department, causes
some comment, although he was
comparatively unknown in Wash
ington. He appears to have been a
high roller and stopped at the
Raleigh, swell hotel, and consorted
with a wealty man named Ellis, who
said he was going to Africa to hunt
too small game for him. 1t is sup
posed that Mr.. LOOMS fell over board
en- route to England, when in a con-
dition of James preserves from in
dulging too deeply in the pleasures
Of.the table and smokingroom.
Prof. Forster, the well-known mete-
orologist, who has a desk in the OBJ
servatory of the U. s., has given out
a long range forecast for the months
of August, September and October.
He predicts a series OF big and
destructive storms during those
months which will come from the
Gulf of Mexico. He predicts three
cold waves for July. This is much
more to the point than showers with
increasing cloudiness.n
If all the real and possible candi-
dates for Presidential nominations
are any criterion, the coming cam
paign is to be a speechless one. Judge
Parker says not word; Gen. Miles,
who has long lived in this city, is ac-
cused of being the silent Miles"
Cleveland is said to have withdrawn
into his SHELF" and before he was
nominated Senator Fairbanks went
softly about, reserved, dignified and
wrapped in the solit ude of his cloud
capped stature. Eve President
Roosevelt, it is declared, will not
make more than one more speech.
Secretary Hay always hesitates when
it comes to talking. But the situa-
ton is not altogether hopeless. The
public still has left Taft, and Shaw,
and Williams, and Root, and Cock
ran, ct al, with no end of Senators
who can say things at all times and
places, and put to shame even w. j.
Bryan.
The quiet and unostentatious mar
riage of Mr.. Justice Brown of the Su-
preme Court. so soon after the mar
riage of his daughter to a son of Mr..
Justice McKenna, came as a pleasant
surprise to his wide circle of Washing
ton friends. The ceremony took
place at little hamlet in New Jersey,
and the honeymoon is being passed
in romantic fashion on the board
walk and at hotels at Atlantic City,
the venerable Judge appearing in a
suit of white flannel and blushing
like rose. The new wife was a close
friend of the first wife, and is we'll
known in Washington. The Justice
would have taken the public into his
confidence but for the dreadful news
paper men who have been marrying
him off to various women ever since
the first Mrs. Brown died.

HOTEL BEAT ESCAPES
Much Wanted Swindier Breaks
Jail at Springfield.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, jan 10.-Wil-
liam ]. Reid, alias L. o. Hoffman, who
Is charged with swindling thirty-two
hotels Of about $4,000, from the At
lantic to the Pacific in 1902, and is now
under sentences aggregating ten years
for these offenses, broke Jail here today,
under remarkable circumstances, and
ig still at large.
To accomplish his escape he unlocked
nine doors and sawed through three
chains, visited six different rooms of
the county Jail, passed in front of sew
eral guards and finally climbed an
eighteen-foot wall. All this was done
about 8 o'clock this morning, yet he
was not missed until o'clock He was
supposedly toe weak to move without
the use of crutch, had been practi-
cally bedridden for three months and
so far as the prison officers know, had
eaten nothing but beef broth in all
that time.
Sheriff E. P. Clark tonight made a
thorough investigation, but he finds
that many details of the escape are
still unexplained.
Reid was arrested in San Francisco
under sensational circumstances in
June, 1902, and after a legal battle was
brought to Springfield. He was SEN
fenced to four years and six months in
the county jail for swindling hotels
here and Immediately sentenced in Bos-
ton to five years in state prison for
SWindling Boston hotels.

KipIlng Would Make Soldiers
of English Students.

LONDON, Jan. 10.-Rudyard Kip
ling has written a letter to Sir Clinton
Dawkins, who publishes it in the Ma
tional Service Journal. The letter
points out that there exists in the
average English public school highly
efficient system of conscription for
games, based on the physical coercion
of the young conscript."
He proceeds to point out that the
system actually is smoothly at work in
many sections of the community,
turning out annually from 1000 to TO-
600 boys trained to its standard.
He then suggests that even 10 per
cent Of the hours devoted to cricket,
football and other games should be
given to military drill and target work.
He says 1t would not come to much
more than one and onehalf hours a
week for the tfirty-six weeks, but in
the five or six years of the course 1t
would go far toward making trained
men.
If the proposed percentage Of time is
taken up under the existing system
there would be no need to gush about
patriotism and self sacrifice any more
than one would gush over tagging or
our school house cricket matches. He
recommends that the national service
league take up the idea.

FARMERS FLEE IN
FEAR OF ERUPTION
Five Hundred Mountaineers
Take to the Road Scared
by Smoke.
Special to The Globe.

SDSCldI 10 me NJiOD6.
LOUISVILLE, ky, Jan. 10.-A vol
canic eruption is anticipated in Rowan
county and hundreds Of the inhabitants
have fed from the neighborhood of
Sugar Loaf mountain in the past three
days.
Smoke is issuing in great volume
from five assures in the sides and top
of the mountain, and the cone is now
enshrouded in an inky envelope. The
terror stricken people say that the
earth trembles at the base of the noun
tain and dull roaring has been heard
for several days.
Not less than 500 fugitives have left
the country in the valley and foothills.
The people are poor and in their super
stitious dread of the upheaval of ma
ture ascribed the manifestations to Su-
pernatural causes.
The farmers with their families fill
the roads leading out of Rowan county.
They are driving their stock and TAX
ing with them whatever of their house,
hold goods they can carry.
The formation of Sugar Loaf is vol
canic, but very ancient, and scientific
men are disinclined to believe that
there is danger of an eruption. A par
ty has been sent UP the mountain to
investigate the causes of the disturb
ance, but it is not possible to subdue
the panic that has seized upon the
people.

CHAMBERLAINANGRY
Viii Attempt Disruption of Lib
eraI UnionIst Association.

LONDON, Jan. 11.-An acrimonious
correspondence between the Duke Of
Devonshire and Joseph Chamberlain is
published this morning. The duke,
who is president of the Liberal Union
ist association, formed at the time the
Liberal party split on the home rule
question. wrote to Mr.. Chamberlain
suggesting that the association should
dissolve owing to the difficulty Of al
locating the funds now that the party
had become divided by the fiscal con-
troversy. Mr. Chamberlain, in a long
rejoinder said he thought 1t best to
'let sleeping dogs die" but that IL the
Duke of Devonshire wanted to make a
fiscal test question he had best take
vote of the members of the associa-
ton and let the defeated party retire"
The duke replied, objecting to such
a violent disruption of the association
and asking for friendly discussion of
the arrangements for dissolution.
Mr.. Chamberlain closes the corre-
spondence by announcing that as the
duke will not accept his views he is
determined to call a meeting on his
own responsibility and the course to be
pursued will be decided at this meeting.

most reliable news received here is
that the mass Of Russian troops in the
far East are concentrated at Vladivo-

Korea.
A traveller who has lately returned
from the far East estimates that be-
tween 900 and 100000 soldiers were
in the vicinity of Vladivostock. He
surmised that the Russians will oc-
cupy Northern Korea, but thonght that
the possible collision was not immi-

into consideration distances and the

Russia's Position Explained.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 10.-By
an authority conversant with Russia's
position in the far East and her atti-
tude toward American interests there
the Associated Press today was given
this statement:
I'm view of the wide circulation given
the reports without a basis in fact,
charging Russia with hostility to

Russia should be again defined.
Russia repeatedly has expressed her
intention of development of CONNER
ciaI interests in Manchuria, knowing
that the Chinese policy Of the United
States government is guided merely by
an aim to develop trade and not by
political ambition.
Russia has shown her good faith by
refraining from any action which would

Senator viii Make Extended
Reply to Charges Made
Against Payne.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan 10.-At
the beginning of tonlorrow's session the
senate will resume consideration of the
Penrose and Carnack resolutions for
an investigation of Irregularities in the
postoffice department. There are still
some Democratic senators who desire
to be heard on this matter and Senator
Spooner has intinIated his Intention to
make a more extended reply to Sen
ator Carmack's charge that Postmaster
General Payne had been at all luke
warm in the prosecution of frauds in
his department.
The nomination of Mr.. Buchanan to
be minister to Panama remains un-
acted upon and discussion of it will be
resumed at the next executive session
Of the senate. Senator Lodge, of the
committee on foreign relations, has
given notice of his intention to move to
lay on the table Senator Morgan's mo-
ton to reconsider the vote by which
Mr.. Buchanan's noraination was con-
firmed, but will not make the motion
until it is evident that scussion is
exhausted. The motion when made will
be unbeatable and if it prevails will
bring discussion TO an end.
Other questions expected to be
taken up during the week include. a
bill providing for a forestry reserva-
ton in the Southern Appalachian noun
tains and the resolution pertaining to
good roads.
Senator Cullom expects to report the
Panama canal treaty after the regular
morning meeting of the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations next We'd
nesday. The Republican leaders in
tend to urge the promptest possible
consideration of the treaty after 1t is
reported to the senate, and will try to
keep it before the senate constantly to
the exclusion of all other business.
House Has Appropriation Bill.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1O-The
house, during the present week will
pass the legislative. executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bill, thus dispos-
ing of the second of the big supply
measures. The committe on appropri-
ations expect to report the bill to the
house tomorrow and to call it up the
following day. 1t is expected that the
debate will not take such / wide range
as 1t did when the pensions appropria-
ton bill was before the house and that
II can be disposed Of within a couple
Of days. The indications now are that
the urgent deficiency bill, the next to
follow, will be repossed tho last of this
week OF the first Of the coming week.
1t is desired to getssome of the appro-
priatton bills over to the senate as rap
idly as possible. There. are few min
or measures about ripe for action
which will be taken up from time to
time. Unless the appropriations COM
mittee shall be ready to report the ur-
gent deficiency bill by Thursday, the
house may be in session only FIVE days
this week.

Special to The Globe.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. TO- -
Without waiting for reply to his re-
quest that mis- correspondence with
Secretary Hay be sent to the senate,
Gen. Reyes has begun a new note
which he expects to present to Mr.. Hay
within the week. If this note meets
with no more favorable consideration
than did the first one, he will prepare
another. Gen. Reyes said today that
his negotiation with the state depart
ment had only just started.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 10
Secretary Hay yesterday sent another
communication to Gen. Raefel Reyes,
the Colombian envoy, in response to his
protest against the action of the United
States regarding affairs on the 18TH
mus of Panama. While state depart
ment officials decline to make any spe-
cific statement as to it's nature, it is
understood that in a general way it
follows the lines laid down In the re-
ply to Gen. Reyes first note, which
practically declines to reopen the Pan
anna question
The second communication to which
an answer was returned yesterday
dealt with considerable detail on GER
tain specific points regarded as highly
important and meriting special consid-
GRAFTON and presented an emphatic for
NAL protest against the action of the
United States in Panama matters. Sec
cretary Hays answer, it is said, fol-
lows the lines of the recent message of
President Roosevelt to congress on the
Panama question, justifying the steps
taken by the United States on the
subject.
The secretary's reply does not dis
cuss with Gen. Reyes one matter which
he urged in his second note, namely.
the transmission to the senate of the
correspondence which has passed be-
tween himself and the state depart
ment. 1t Is known that the officials Of
the state department resented the sug-
gestion Of Gen. Reyes as highly i'm
proper, and for this reason Its answer
does not discuss this request.
1t was said tonight that Gen. Reyes
might leave this country within the
next ten days. but no information was
obtainable on that subject tonight.
From the standpoint Of the state de-
partInent there is no reason why he
should hasten his departure, as hs
might very well remain and rendei
considerable service to his country.
The suggestion was made tonight
that possibly he might remain and
make an effort to open diplomatic re-
lations with the republic Of Panama,
through its representative here, for the
adjustment of such questions as the
assumption by Panama Of a portion
Of the exterior debt of Colombia. Some
suggestion also has been made, al
though not officially, of a reunion~of the
two governments under the name of
the republic of Colombia, Panama to
have an autonomous government, with
absolute authority to deal with all
questions relating to the control Of
canal matters.
