WATER FOR FIREMEN
Comrades Tnrned it On to Save Their Lives at a Fac
 tory Fire.

New York, Dec 1S.-Firemen were forced to turn the hose on their own comrades in order to save their lives at factory fire which did $50,000 dam- age today to slx-story building at 5S Center street to-day, The fire burned away the three top floors of the build ing almost completely, but did not touch the lower floors. In order to fight the blaze the firemen carried their hose up fire escapes till they reached the fourth and fifth floors. Six fire men who were on one of these es- capes were suddenly exposed to back draft which blew the flames through the windows all about them. The fire was under them as well as over their heads. making it impossible for them to descend. The firemen In the streets below immediately turned the streams of water from three lines of hose upon the escape where the imperilled fire. men were huddled. The water saved them, for after the draft subsided every member of the party was able to climb down to safety without as sistance.

READY FOR WORK
Burglars in East Hampton General Store Scared Away Before
 Getting Any Booty.

East Hampton, Conn, Dec 1S.-Af- ter soaping the door and making all preparations to blow open the safe in the general store of H. G. Clark here early to-day, the burglars were fright ened away by young man who was returning home. The burglars had even poured nitroglycerine into the door cracks and were ready to ignite the fuse. Their labor would have amounted to nothing as no money had been left in the safe. A sign on the outside told how the safe could be opened without injury as Mr Clark had loss from visit of burglars last March and did not care to have an- other explosion in the store Bank Jones was on his way home about ? o'clock when he noticed a fifckering light in the Clark store Thinking there was fire he went to the win dow and looking in saw one man at work on the safe and another rifling the money drawer under the counter. The men, had lighted candles for illu- imitation. He turned away and ran to give an alarm when man ordered him to throw up his hands. Jones re- fused to do this and the burglar who had been at the money drawer came to the store door and took shot at him. The report frightened the burg lars themselves and they hastily ran down the street and got into team. The loss to MT Clark consisted of small quantity of jewelry and q few other articles.

APPEAL TO CHURCH
Chicago Striking Printers Hurt the Methodist Publishing De-
 partment.

Chicago, Dec 18-For the first time in Chicago labor history church was appealed to yesterday to grant the prayer was raised to the Methodist Episcopal church which is experience ing strike of printers in it's local publishing department.
 The federation of labor framed the appeal at the instance of Topographic cal union, No 16 It also complied with request of the union to declare a Boycott on Methodist publications. until the labor dispute is adjusted
 Specific directions were issued in this connection to the trade unionists who are members of the Methodist church. asking them to be guided by their union rather than their church affiliations.
 The Western Methodist book con- cern was the direct object of the labor resolutions. The ownership of the es- tablishment is said to be vested in tine Methodist church. Three months ago strike of competitors was or dered because the concern allied itself with the Chicago Typothetae and re- fused to grant the demands of the printers for an eight hour day. The strike still is in progress.
 In the resolutions which the feder- ation adopted it was pointed ont that the Rock River conference on October 10 at Freeport, H., went on record as favoring arbitration of all disputes between capital and labor. On this ground the responsibility was laid at the door of the Methodist church.

JUDGES REFUSE
Asked to Grant Injunction in Bur
 pee-City Affair But Would Not Comply.

Some very important agencies have been employed with q view to prevent ing the city officials from accepting the report of the experts on the Bur ree assessment case as final, but so far they have not met with much sue cess. As the story goes Judge Robin son has been asked to sign injunction papers, but declined. Then Judge Wheeler was tried, but as Judge Rob inson is holding court in Waterbury Judge Wheeler thought he was the proper person to deal with, so Judge Root, who had the papers, hied him self back to Waterbury and decided to see what luck he would have with Judge Cowell. Here he suffered an- other setback, and now nobody ap- pears to be able to tell what the next step will be, but it is safe to state that those who think the matter should not be settled without further investigation have not yet given up. One of the at- torneys made an investigation of the city records Saturday, including the doings of the aldermen Friday night and a new move is expected at any moment

Former Minister Tells Where $10.- ,..e 100000 Went.
 WASHINGTON Dec. 1S-Nicanor A. De Obarrio, formerly minister of war and marine of the republic of Panama, In statement issued here, has replied to remarks made in the senate by Mir. Culberson of Texas, who declared that the $10,000,000 paid by the United States to Panama was no more nor less than payment to the intrigants and conspirators there who organized in this city under the very shadow of the capitol" s.,
 Mir. Obarrlo, after explaining that he was one of the eight persons who plan ned the separation of Panama from Colombia, says: ]
 According to the Hay Herran trea- ty approved by the United States sen- ate and the rejection of which by Co., lombia was the main cause of the separation of Panama. the United States agreed to pay to the republic of Colombia $10,0O0,00O for certain priyi- leges and according to the Hay -Bunau- Varilla treaty approved by the republic of Panama and by the United States senate the same sum was paid for se- curing even greater privileges.
 I At the time this sum was paid the republic of Panama was a perfectly constituted nation recognized by all but two of the countries of the globe The ten millions have been disposed of in this manner: Six million dollars in- vested in mortgages in New York real estate at m average of per cent. per annum, $1,000000 for the establish ment of a national bank, $500, 900 loan ed to Panama bankers on call and $500,000 employed in converting our silver coiff to the new coinage of the republic of Panama and for depositing a sum sufficient to guarantee the parity of our silver with United States gold at the rate of two silver dollars for one gold dollar The rest has been employ ed in building schoolhouses. roads, bridges and the thousand and one things that for years have been needed in our country.
 As to the statement that the separa- ton of Panama was accomplished 'un- der the shadow of the capitol most emphatically deny in my name and in that of my colleagues that any public man of this or any other country had anything to do with the revolution so successfully accomplished by us with the valuable aid of 99 9-1O per cent of the inhabitants of Panama"

PASS PANAMA BILL.
Senate Appropriates $11,O0OOOO For
 Isthmian Work.

Isthmian Work.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. lS.-The senate | passed the Panama canal emergency | appropriation bill, but the result was not attained until after the debate on | the bill had been continued the greater | part of the day to the exclusion of i practically all other business. Sci | speeches were made by Mir Bacon in advocacy of his amendment requiring estimates for canal commission sala- ries; by Mir. Allison, who devoted him self largely to the details of the bill; by MT. Culberson. who criticised the em- ployment of Mir. Bishop as a press agent" by Mir. Stone, who criticised the purchase of American ships' to carry Panama supplies in the face of the an- nounced determination to go abroad for vessels under the conditions then exist ing, and by Mir. Newlands. who ex- pressed the opinion that the construc- ton of the canal should have been in- trusted to the geological survey.
 MT. Hale made the authorized an- nouncement that Mir Bishops duties as a press agent" would be discontinued. The president will issue instructions that the duties of Joseph B. Bishop shall be merely administrative.
 Senator Hale gave this assurance to the senate, and Mir. Culberson with drew his amendment prohibiting the payment of any money to maintain a literary bureau.
 In guaranteeing the abandonment of the press bureau Senator Hale said that every senator recognized the evil of that system. It is not the duty of any bureau of the government, he said, to exploit whatever Is being done in that branch of the service.
 MT. Hale said he could not give an assurance that the salary of Mir. Bish- op would be reduced. That matter must be adjusted by the proper com mittee.
 Senator Gallinger said that S90.OO0 for the chairman of the canal commis- sion and ST, zoo for the governor of the canal zone are very large salaries and that the S100OO salary of Secretary Bishop should be cut to $500. the sum paid Mir. Murphy, the former secretary.
 Mir. Culberson said the means em- ployed by the administration to obtain control of the canal zone were 'inde. fensibie in law and infamous in morals" The original estimate for the canal was S1s4,0O0.0 .0O0. yet, he said. already ST6,5OO,OO0 has been spent and nothing accomplished. Stll. he said. he would vote for the then pending canal appropriation bill
