Pepper, that the separation movement was
confined to Colon and Panama and the
territory directly interested in the canal
strip. This is not true. 1t was about as

wise, as a revolutionary movement could

is that everybody on the isthmus had arms
and was ready to fight. They began get

revolution. If President Roosevelt had not
taken the stand he did today there would
have been a bloody civil war on the 18TH
mus and in the end the United States
would have been forced to intervene as 1t
did in Cuba. The Bogota politicians them
selves expected the revolution. They made
little preparations to meet it, partly be-
cause there was a savage factional fight
over the election Of President Marroquin's
successor and partly because they thought
the United States would put 1t down for
them. That was what I heard in Panama
and Central America, and I have no doubt
that 1t was the truth. But the chief thing

quickly as possible. That NAV help the

FIFTEEN MEN KILLED
BY FALLING OF CAGE IN A
MINE.
Accident Occurred at the Independence
Mine, Located in the City
Of Victor, Col.

VICTOR, Col, January 26.-By the falling
of a cage today in the Stratton Independ-
ence mine located near the center of this
city fifteen men are dead and another Sc
verely injured.
In the main shaft sixteen maR were being
hosted in a cage from the siSsd, seventh
and eighth levels When the c&ge reached
the surface the engineer, for z1-ne unex-
planned reason, was unable to stop the en-
gine and the cage, with Its load or human
freight was drawn up into the gallows
frame, where it became lodged temporarily.
The strain on the cable finally caused 1t to
part, and the cage released shot down the
shaft with terrific speed. Tive of the oc-
cupants L. P. Jackson and James Bullock,
had become entangled in the timber rods
near the top of the gallows frame. Jack
son was crushed to death by the sheeve
wheel falling upon him, while Bullock had
a marvellous escape from death, but re-
ceived painful injuries and was rescued
from his perilous position. The other four
teen men were hurled to death down the
1,500-foot shaft.
AS soon as possible the shift boss and a
number of miners went down into the mine
through another compartment OF the shaft.
They found all fifteen dead the bodies scat
tered at different points. Arms and bodies
had been torn, heads crushed and clothing
stripped from the victims. From the 100
foot level to the bottom the shaft was spat-
tered with blood while here and there were
found pieces Of flesh clinging to the pro-
jections. At the bottom of the shaft stands
twenty-five feet of water and into this the
cage plunged carrying some Of the men
into the water with it.

= MISSISSIPPI SENATORS.
They Are Safe and Will Follow German
Against Canal.

Senator McLaurin Of Mississippi is good
for a seat in the United States Senate until
1913 If he lives. He has just been elected
by his legislature for another term Of six
years, which will not commence until his
present term ends, which will be March
3. 1907.
Senator Money, his colleague. has an
eight-year sitting before him. He has been
reelected for six years, which will COM
mence to run in March, 1905, and continue
until 1911.
All this comes about from the fact that
the Mississippi legislature meets quadren-
nially and elects senators at the session
preceding the expiration of their terms.
When these senators came back to Wash
ington they told leader German they would
follow the party caucus against the Pana-
ma treaty, Notwithstanding their legisla-
lures had instructed them to vote for it.
Long before their terms expire the legisla-
ture which elected them will have dissolved
and in the meantime they will have to do
the business with their colleagues and the
caucus every year. 1t is case of bird
in the hand worth two reprimands In the
bush.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
Subcommittee Not to Meet Until After
EebruarY TO-

A meeting Of the subcommittee of the
national democratic committee to determine
as to the representation of the District of
Columbia on the national committee, and
to prepare plan for holding primaries in
the District will probably not be called un-
til after February 10. When the subcom-
mittee adjourned at the Shoreham two
weeks ago today 1t was expected that an
other meeting could be called at about this
time. It has been found, however, that
there has been difficulty in securing various
papers fled with the national committee
four years ago bearing on this case, and 1t
will also be inconvenient for some of the
members Of the subcommittee to be here
during the next two weeks. The delay will
give additional opportunity to secure papers
on file in Chicago, If they can be found.

HEAPED cALuMNY ON THEM

Various members Of that famous
Democratic convention held last week
heaped enough calumny on one another
to last them many months without any
one else undertaking to assist them,
What they said and thought of one an.
other was enough to convince all dis
passionate men of the fear they have
of one another. of their distrust one of
the otner. of their unreconcilable diff
ference Of opinion, of their impotence
with the leadership they have endured
these many years, and of their open re.
volt against one another, when the open
charge was made that there was plott-
ing among some of them TO rob Others
OF their privileges and opportunities,

others with him in this belief and they
lid not hesitate to openly declare
themselves in no uncertain terms. And
in view of this, if there was no calumny
hcaped in that convention and no abuse
INDUCED in, Mr.. Post and his followers
must have spoken the truth in al its

were published in the Telegram on that
day and in the weekly Telegram up to
the convention dates. The committee
did not change them nor were they
ever changed and every man who APP
piled for certificate as delegate got
it. These facts stamp the assertions
Of the Demecrtic paper on this sub
