MORE BOGOT4 RIOTS.
Intense -4nti-1merican FEELING
an Colombian CamtaI

BogOta. Colombia. March 9-The rioting
which began with a quarrel between the
manager Of an American owned street rail-
way and a police officer on Monday CON
tinues. The anti-American feeling is in
tense. The mob, which forced the suspen-
sion of street railway traffic, committed
further violence during the night. and the
American manager was forced to seek
safety at the United States Legation.
The government is taking every precau-
ton to safeguard American lives and prop
erty. A large force of police is stationed
near the American Legation, and the mem
Ders Of the legation and others who have
sought refuge there are said 10 be safe
Washington, March 9.-There is no likeli-
hood that any serious complications be-
tween the United States and the govern
ment Of Colombia will result rom the ac-
tion of a mob in Bogota in stoning the
American Legation building in that city
State Department officials are not inclined
10 attach any special significance to these
acts, az they regard them as those OF an
irresponsible mon. The government of Co
lombia has already assured the American
Minister of full protection. and the officials
here entertain no doubt that with the
means at hand the authorities will speed
lily put stop 10 the demonstrations.

Katie Sexton, of No. 81 Madison street by
the Rev. j. r. Curry. rector of St. Jamess
Catholic Church. No. 80 James street
Monohan was standing at some distance
from Miss Sexton on the day that marked
the turning point in their lives, when a
gust of wind blew her hat into the river.
He plunged in after it and presently re-
turned, half frozen, and handed the
drenched millinery to the girl
"Oh. YOU dear man. she cried irnpuI-
sively, while that worthy replied with all
the fervor of chivalrous youth:
I'D do it again TO hear YOU repeat what
you just said
Miss Sexton said the intention was as
good as the deed, and invited him to call
al her home. Monohan said nothing could
keep him away. and went home to change
his clothes. He called the same evening,

"SAIOME" AT THE MANHATTAN.

The popularity Of the Wude-StraUss ex-
position OF the morbid passions of the
daughter of IIerodias was proved again
last night at the Manhattan Opera House.
where an overfowing audience gathered TO
hear the second performance for this sea
son of "Salome." The dramatic appea! or
the production undoubtedly accounts for its
hold on a public which tolerates rather
than enjoys the contribution of the mus'-
cal collaboration. Miss Garden repeated her
dramatically impressive delineaticn of the
abnormalities of the Jewish princess. and
Mr.. Dalmores also showed his fine quality
as an actor in impersonatins the neurotic
Herod. Mr.. Dufranne made the most of
the single part in the opera with redeem

FAIRBANKS DINNER
Plea for 4rbitration Made Be-
fore the Pilgrims.
IBy cable to The Tribune.

London March 9.-Charles w. Fair
bankss speech az the Pilgrims dinner .o-
night at the Savoy Hotel created q most
favorable impression. Il was a coura :
seous effort to make his Anglo-Ameri-
can audience think soberly about the i'm
mense and ruinous preparations for vo,,
among civilized nations. and the benen-
cent advantages which would follow the
cooperation of England and America in
promoting the peaceable processes of
international arbitration.
The speech was well delivered and
tactfully phrased. but the applause was
faint until Sir George Reid, representing
the fresh blood Of Australia, warmly
commended it as { statesmanIike and
memorable address
Lord Halsbury was most feiicitous
chairman. and Consul General Grifiths
made fresh reputation by an exceed
ingly humorous speech
Altogether ii was q delightful Anglo
American evening and one of the most
successful of the Pilgrim feasts Mr..
Fairbanks will be entertained bv Sir
Robert Perks tomorrow at luncheon at
Whitehall Rooms, and will sail for Amer
lea OH Saturday.
