AMERICAN MARINES ON SHORE DUTY PANAMA GOVERNMENT ISSUES ULTIMATUM AND INTENDS TO ATTACK THE CITY. Colon, Nov. 6.—Much anxiety pre vails in all quarters here. It is rec ognized that the crew of the Nashville would be quite inadequate to cope with the situation ashore should seri ous disturbances occur and the arrival of the Dixie is anxiously awaited. It is hoped she will reach Colon In the evening, but there is no knowing what may occur before that. The Nashville is now preparing to again land a detachment of bluejack ets. The commotion ashore is intense. General Pompilio Guiterez, one of Colombia's best generals, arrived here during the day from Cartagena on board the Austrian steamer Jenny. This has intensified the situation im mensely. No good result followed the confer ence at Panama of the representative of Colonel Terrez, in command of the detachment of government troops ,which recently arrived here from Sa vanillo on the cruiser Cartagena, with General Tovar, the commander-in-chief of those forces. Although Colon was perfectly quiet during the night the foreign residents here continue to seek refuge on board the ships in the harbor or in the buildings of the Panama railroad, which, as an American concern, will be protected by the forces of the Unit ed States. TO PROTECT AMERICANS. Gunboat Nashville Again Lands Ma rines at Colon. Washington, Nov. 6.—The navy de partment has received a cablegram from Commander Hubbard of the Nashville stating that he had again landed forces from that ship to pro tect life and property at Colon. INTENDS TO ATTACK COLON. Panama Issues an Ultimatum to Co lombian Forces. Panama, Nov. 6.—The government of the new republic of Panama is con stantly receiving congratulations from Paris, London, the republics of Cen tral America and from nearly all other parts of the world. Up to the hour of filing this dis patch nothing definite had been de cided on in regard to Colon, where the government troops brought to that port by the cruiser Cartegena from Savanilla are still encamped. The gov ernment of the republic of Panama is making all possible efforts to prevent bloodshed, but the correspondent of the Associated Press understands that an ultimatum has been sent to Colo nel Torres, commander of the govern ment forces at Colon, announcing that it is the intention of the government of the republic of Panama, should Colonel Torres refuse to consider the generous proposals made to him to permit the embarkation of his troops on board a steamer and their trans portation back to Savanilla, to send an army to attack Colon. FIRST LANDING OF MARINES. American Bluejackets Remain a Short Time on Shore. Washington, Nov. 6.—The navy de partment has received a cablegram from Commander John M. Hubbard Df the Nashville,, dated Colon, saying that he had landed marines, such ac tion being necessary to protect the lives and property of American resi dents. Later in the day the navy depart ment received the following from Com mander Hubbard: "Have withdrawn forces landed Wednesday afternoon. No bloodshed." Telegrams received at the navy de partment announce the departure of the Atlanta from Kingston for Colon and of the Coston from San Juan del Sur for Panama. The naval cablegrams were declared to be the only ones from the isthmus that had reached either the state or navy departments over night or in the forenoon. The withdrawal of the ma rines from Colon leaves the town technically in the possession of the Colombian government, thus maintain, ing a condition as to ownership of either end o^' the line which may lead to a clash ai. any moment. The Atlanta, which has sailed from Kingston for Colon, should arrive there Saturday at the latest, and the training ship Dixie, which left King ston Tuesday night for Colon, is ex pected to arrive hourly. She carries battalion of 450 marines and will rove a powerful factor in maintain the position of the United States for the free transit of the isthmus. !ng ULTIMATUM RjR TURKEY. Russia and Austria Insist on Reform Proposals. Constantinople, Nov. 7.—In conse juence of the porte's reply, pleading the superfluity of the new reform scheme for Macedonia on the ground that Turkey is carrying out the pro posals previously 'agreed to, it is be lieved that Austria and Russia w!Il send an ultimatum giving the Turl: government a fixer! term within vrlu accept the proposals and thnt in i::» jvent cf another re u^.-'l tbo. /o fi'r.. 5rs will lake steps to compel Tur iction. 67. ,-x I •i 4 ''v tit I I V.-S, IV" c.

Washington, Nov. 7.—Rear Admiral Coghlan, who ia commander-in-chief of the Caribbean sea squadron, has ar rived here in response to a summons from Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of the bureau of navigation, and con ferred during the day with the offi cials at the navy department. He will receive instructions from the president and upon his arrival at Colon will assume supreme command of the American naval force on the Atlantic side of the isthmus. Rear Admiral Glass, upon his arrival at Panama, will relieve the captain of the Boston of the command of the naval force there. COLOMBIA IS AROUSED. Her Charge at Washington Will Be Recalled. Washington, Nov. 7.—The Associ ated Press learns that Dr. Tomas Her ran, the Colombian charge, is prepared to leave Washington on short notice with his family for Colombia. It may .be stated that instructions withdrawing him will be no surprise at the Colombian legation, where it is believed that the state department's recognition of the republic of Panama will cause intense feeling in Colombia. 8o far Dr. Herran has had no advices from his government COLOMBIANS DEPART NEW GOVERNMENT IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF PANAMA. General Satisfaction Is Expressed Throughout the Isthmus for the New Order of Things. Colon, Colombia, Nov. 7.—The gov ernment of the republic of Panama has appointed Senor Porforio Melen dez civil and military governor of Colon pending the appointment of new officials. Those of the old gov ernment have been impotent since the troops left. The prefect, Senor Cuad ros, and the alcalde, Senor Guerrevo, are now nonentites. They have not been arrested. Governor Melendez has notified the officials that they may remain at their posts for the present If they swear allegiance to the new republic. He has also notified the steamship agents that Colombian ports on the Atlantic are closed to all arrivals. This refers only to their non-accept ance of troops from coast ports. A steam launch has b^en dispatched to capture Bocas del Torro in the in terest of the new republic. No diffi culties are anticipated there. The new republic doubtless is firm ly established. There are no Colom bian troops on the isthmus and satis faction is everywhere expressed at the new order of things. The American employes of the rail road and others have been armed with rifles and revolvers supplied by the United States cruiser Nashville. To gether with the latter men the volun teers presented a bold front Wednes day and Thursday afternoons to the Colombians who were threatening the lives of Americans. SITUATION IS QUIET. Colombian Government Troops Evac uate Colon. Washington. Nov. 7.—The navy de partment has received a cablegram from Commander Delano of the Dixie announcing his arrival at Colon.

Nov, 6.—Formal an nouncement has been received at the state department by cable from Pan ama of the establishment of a new government at that place which, the dispatch states, is capable of maintain ing order. The cablegram comes from the three consuls constituting the new govern ment and is signed by Frederico Boyd, Jose 'Augustin Arango and Tomas Arias. The state department has not taken any steps yet toward recognizing the new order of things, though the United States consuls have large discretion in this matter and may already have recognized the de facto power of the junta at Panama.

EMPLOYES WILL PROBABLY ACCEPT GENERAL TIEUP AT ALL CENTERS OF INDUSTRY WOULD THUS BE AVERTED. Chicago, Nov. 6.—Representatives of the packing industries at the Union stock yards have offered the striking sausagemakers and canners an in crease in wages that probably will be accepted by the employes, preventing a general strike in all the centers of the industry. At a conference between the super intendents of the plants and the offi cers of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butchers' union the men were told that the packers consented to raise the wages of all the sausage makers to a minimum scale of $1.75 a day, but refused to lift the pay of those getting more than that amount. They declared they are willing to set the same standard in the canning de partment, which would mean a general Increase of about 6 per cent. When the strikers meet to vote on the proposition of the firms the offi cers of the Meat Cutters' union will urge them to accept it. STRIKE IS INEVITABLE. Involves Colorado, New Mexicoi Utah and Wyoming Miners. Denver, Nov. 6.—Governor Peabody and Commissioner of Labor Montgom ery have practically given up hope of being able to avert a general strike of coal miners in District 15, which in cludes Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.

Notices have been posted at several of the mines ordering the men to quit work on Nov. 9. They are signed by John Mitchell, national president. GORMAN TO THE FRONT. Mentioned as Democratic Presidential Candidate. Washington, Nov. 6.—Viewed from the standpoint of the Washington pol iticians Tuesday's election resulted in a drawn battle. The Democrats are in clined to offer congratulations among themselves over the victory of Gor man in Maryland. Returns do not show the sweeping majority expected, but, nevertheless, it puts the shrewd and adroit Gorman to the front as a presidential candidate next year, es pecially ae he is strong with Tam many, which will undoubtedly control the New York delegation in the na tional convention. On the other hand Republicans are more than jubilant over the wonder ful record made by the party in Ohio. Senator Hanna, more than ever, is at the head of his party, and will con tinue to maintain his leadership. In administration circles it is said that Hanna will be strongly urged by Pres ident Roosevelt to manage the next national campaign which all admit will be a great fight for supremacy. HANNA FOR PRESIDENT. Ohio Newspapers Vigorously Boom the Senator. Columbus, O., Nov. 6.—In spite nf Senator Hanna's protestations a move ment is surely setting in to nominate him for president next year. The state press of Ohio has editorial mention of him in this particular, and the movement is receiving the en dorsement of business men through out the state. Locally, one newspaper has a strong editorial in favor of his nomination, and news conies from all over the state that bets are being made that the Ohio delegation will be for Hanna. Senator Hanna is doing his best to quiet the clamor, but it is growing. His campaign here in which he was largely instrumental in rolling up the tremendous Herrick majority has add ed to the fire.

With PrNMMtl Awrml) tasrMa rr Lock Plua OcrfMu Display. By order of Secretary Loeb eight messengers at the president's executive offices in Washington appeared the oth er day in uniforms of dark blue with shining nickel buttons, says the New York World. If the scheme does not stir up so much ridicule that the presi dent is forced to order that the dis tinctive clothing be discarded It Is Mr. Loeb's intention to put all the employ ees around the White House and the executive offices In uniform. The uniforms planned for the ushers at the White House are gorgeous and will remind traveied visitors of the courts of Europe. Even Chief Usher Stone will be attired In brilliant col ors. Mr. Roosevelt has given the plan bis tacit approval, but if too much of a row is kicked up Mr. Loeb will have to stand all the blame. John Addison Porter, secretary to President McKinley, was another who tried to make the White House look like a foreign court, lie ordered Cap tain Loeffler, the president's doorkeep er, who is an officer in the army, to ap pear in bis dress uniform. Mr. McKin ley spotted Loeffler when he opened the door for the first time and asked why be was in uniform. Captain Loeffler referred him to Secretary Porter, who said he thought It would look more dig nified to have all of the attendants uni formed. Mr. McKinley was very an gry. "This is a republic," said Mr. Mc Kinley, "not a monarchy. Send Loef fler home to change his clothes." Until Mr. Loeb's advent no one since tben has had the courage to suggest uniforms at the White House. NEW MOTOR ON CANALS. Electricity Froai Overhead Wire Successfully Moves Bouts. successful test of a mcchanlsm for towing canal boats by electricity was made on the Erie canal betweeu Troy, N. Y., and Schenectady the other day, says the Aew York Tribune. A device called an electric mule, of eighty horse power and running on rails on the tow path, was used. It is capable of towing four loaded canal boats at the rate of four miles an hour. The power is ob tained by trolley from an overhead wire. The macbiue can run in either direction. The first boat handled was loaded with sand. Difficulty was ex perienced in getting a towing line strong enough. Finally a heavy hauser was put on, and the boat was hauled quickly the extent of the tracks. Two loaded boats hauled by three horses were met. They contained 500 tons apiece. The horses were unhitched, and the boats were moved together by the electric mule, working backward. The mule is about 10 feet long, 2 feet wide and 3 feet high and resembles an Inverted row boat. Coush Gently. Few people know how to cough prop erly. In fact, it never occurs to the or dinary individual that there are a right way and a wrong way of doing it. Yet it is a matter of no small importance. If every .«igh means a drop of blood out of the heart, as people say, every cough means some greater or less proportion of time knocked off one's life. Most people cough as loudly and forcibly as they can. Some chronic coughers seem a bit proud of the terrible noise they make. But it is a rather costly noise, for the simple reason that it tears and inflames the lungs. The lungs consist of an extraordina rily delicate spongelike tissue, which sometimes gets inflamed and choked with phlegm. When we try to get rid of this substance we cough. But, ob viously, if we remove it violently we must necessarily injure the delicate lung tissue. Therefore train yourself to cougli as gently as possible. After a little practice you will find it quite easy to do so. In that way you will do a minimum of mischief to the lungs and add years to your life. VvUi at the White House. The members of the Wisconsin Press association recently called on the presi dent at Washington and were present ed by Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury Taylor. The newspaper men were enthusiastic over their greeting from the president and held a sort of ratifi cation meeting in the executive office as though Mr. Roosevelt had already been renominated and elected, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. They gave the college yell of the University of Wis consin and three cheers and a tiger for the president. It was the liveliest re ception that has been held in the presi dent's office since Mr. Roosevelt re turned from Oyster Bay. Uncle Sam to Miaa Canada. I am sorry for you, sister, and 1 know your case is sad. And, though mine has been the profit, yet it hurts me most as bad. And of course I do not blame you if you feel a little sore Slncc my line fence was ailowed to run Jam up by your back door.

Farming Opportunities -AND- The town of Medina is now established as one of the best commercial points in central North Dakota, drawing trade from Stutsman, Kidder, Logan and LaMoure counties. In the year 1902 over $250,000 worth of bus iness was transacted in the town which was started from a mere side-track in 1898 and with the surrounding country practically unsettled. The expectations for 1903 are that the above record of business will be doubled. The reason for the growth of Medina is the settlement and cultivation of the tributary country, and the raising of mixed crops of grain and the growing of stock. There are many thousand acres of land yet left for sale at very reasonable prices and plenty of good government claims open for settlement in the vicinity of Medina. It will pay homeseekers and investors to write or call and see me. Information covering all points cheerfully furnished. W. J.
