WASHINGTON, Nov. C.-President Hulin, of the Panama Canal company, finally has submitted to Admiral Walker, the head of the Isthmian canal commis sion, a proposition on behalf of his com pany for the acquisition of all its rights by the United States government. The Panama company has been restrained up to this moment from submitting a direct proposition, owing to a clause in the con cession which it holds from the govern ment of Colombia, which prescribes for feiture of the concession as a penalty for the making of an effort by the company to transfer its rights to another govern ment. The company's agents therefore have been obliged to act with extreme caution in making overtures; *ut in some way the Colombian government has been induced to wink at this technical violation of the concession. Its terma are not yet dis closed aTid it is probable they will not be until the Isthmian canal commission pub lishes its report. It is understood, how ever, that they are considerably more favorable to this government than were the figures made to the president three years ago. M. Margerie, the French charge of embassy, is in almost daily conference with Secretary Hay, and while no state ment as to the nature of the exchanges is obtainable, it is believed that they re late In part to the "Pan-American canal and also to the execution of the French progress in Turkish waters. The United States government thus far is not con cerned in the seizure of the Island of MHylene, having been given to under stand that the French occupation is in no sense permanent, but merely part of a debt-collecting process.

BIG MONEY IN SIGHT TXCLE SAM MIST ARRANGE T© TAKE CARE OF CHINESE INDEMNITY CommiMloncr RocKhiil Favors Es tablishment of an American Banking; House in China. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.— W. W. Rock hill, who represented this government in the final settlement with China, had a conference with Assistant Secretary Tay lor, of the treasury department, today, in regard to the representation of the United States on the commission of bankers, which, by the terms of the protocol, is charged with the duty of re ceiving and paying over to the several governments interested in the sums to be paid by China as indemnity. These pay ments will cover a peroM of thirty-nine years, and the protocol provides-that the several sums and interest shall be pa"l monthly to a commission of bankers at Shanghai; each member representing one or more of the beneficiary powers. As there is no American bank in Shang hai the question arises as to who should represent this government on the com mission. The American consul at Shang hai recommends that the British Shang hai bank be designated to act for the United States, but Mr. Rockhill does not favor that suggestion. He believes that, in view of the changed conditions in China, a strongly backed American bank would do a very profitable business, and at the same time prove a great benefit to American commercial Interests in the far East and give the United States proper representation on the commission provid ed for in the Pekin protocol. The matter will receive the considera tion of the treasury officials. The share of the United States in the indemnity to be paid by China is about $25,000,000, with 4 per cent interest.

The THEY CANNOT WORK HARD PHILIPPINE CLIMATE ENERVATES MEN AND BLINDS ANIMALS. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—lnspector Gen eral Breckinridge has made a report to the secretary of war covering details of army matters which were not touched upon in his previous report. He says that the pacification of the Filipinos is mak ing good headway. Reports - from Cuba and Porto Rico indicate a settled con dition in those islands. He recommends that a United States depository be es tablished at Manila for handling govern ment funds. The report says about 25 per cent of the animate purchased for the Philippines went blind owing to the tropical climate. The emergency ration.is pronounced ex cellent, but it is recommended that more care be paid to the packing of goods for their preservation. Gen. Breckinridge calls attention to the expense of repairing and. refitting trans ports and advises careful scrutiny of this work. Regarding coal be says very good qualities of coal at low prices can be ob tained on Puget sound. Quoting from Maj.

REHEARING FOR GARTER THE IMPRISONED OFFICER TO GO BEFORE CIVIL COIRT On the Result of a Rehearing- t<» Be Held at Chicago Depend!* Ownership of Half a Million. CHICAGO, Nov. 6.—Obcrlln M. Carter, now a convict In the government prison at Fort L<. avenworth, Kan., and formerly a c&pt&in in the United States engineer corps, is to have a lehearlng of his case in a civil tribunal. He now has the as surance of the government authorities that all the evidence Is t-> be reviewed again before Judge Kohlsaai, of the cir cuit court, in this city, the hearing to take place shortly. Carter will bo called on as a witness in l.is own behalf, and for the purpose of testifying wiU bs re leased temporarily from his place of con finement. This is the result of the suite brought by the government some months ago in several federal courts for the parpose of recovering the $722,582 which it was prov ed at the court-martial that Carter had embezzled from the United States. His uncle, Lorenzo D. Carter, and his brother, I. Stanton Carter, were said to have re invested this money and secreted it for the purpose of having a fortune ready for the former army officer upon his re lease from the military prison. The de cision in this case will affect the stand ing of all the other cases. Pending a decision in this central case the property held in the name of Carter's relatives, which has been Impounded through receiverships in the vaiijrs courts, will remain intact. The amouni impounded up to date is.,&aiu to be near ly half a million dollars. Other bonds' in the possession of Carter's relatives will be turned over to the custody of .t&a court, temporarily, by agreement. When the case is finally-disposed of these val uable assets will 'become either the prop erty of the government or of Carter. So confident is Carter of final vindica tion that he cheerfully joined in the agreement with the government's repre sentatives... On the court's decision he •will base his chance of being a pauper or a rich man when he is outside the prison gates. CHARLES A. BACON DEAD. For Six Years He Taught His Classes From a Chair.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.—The recent reduc tion in «the running time of the "Over land Limited" of the North-Western road bids fair to- lead to a speed war be tween the Chicago and St." Paul lines. Today the management of the St. Paul road sent a notice to the traffic managers of the Chicago-St. Paul lines as follows: "In view of the reduction of passenger train time between Chicago and the Omaha gateway, it does not appear to the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway to be advisable to continue the present understanding as to time of passenger trains between Chicago and the St. Paul gateway. The St. Paul company there fore gives notice of its withdrawal from the understanding in relation thereto." The officials of the St. Paul toda>- re fused to talk concerning the matter. The matter of a time agreement be tween the two citres has for several months been on the verge of arousing serious trouble, and if nothing else oc curs it is likely that a new agreement lowering the present schedule will be made. About ten years ago the Chicago-St. Paul lines got into trouble over rates and time between Chicago and St. Paul and Minneapolis, and the result was an agreement limiting the schedule of pas senger trains between Chicago and St. Paul to thirteen hours and twenty min utes. Recently it was complained that the agreement was being violated by other lines carrying passengers on the fast mail. The same rule was followed out of St. Paul. The matter was passed up to the presidents and there died a natural death owing to the inaction of one line. CONSUME TRIAL OPENS SLAYER OF EX-CHIEF MEREDITH FACES A SEATTLE JLRV. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 6.—This morn ing the state put on its first witness in the trial of the case of the state vs. John Considine, charged with the mur der of William L. Meredith, late chief a£ police. When court opened Prosecuting Attor ney Fulton told what the state expected to prove. According to Fulton the state will show that Tom Considine had a pistol with him while in Guy's drug store prior to the time that he wrenched from Meredith's hand the gun- that he {Mere dith) had drawn. This is to be a con necting link in. the states sixth-shot theory. An effort will undoubtedly be made to show tiiat the first of the six shots which the state claims were fired, was fired by Tom Corisidine at minute 2.Q11 a half before -Meredith fired his first charge from the shotgun, and that it was the sihot which led Meredith to attack John Considine. - NO PLACE JTOR WOMEN. - K:tii.MtN Soldier Writes a Dift<.'ourag°- liihJ.v to Ufa Wife.

PRICE TWO CEXTS-K^eTkv,,. 110 HOPE FOR niOII. Results of Tuesday's Election to Be Used by Republicans as an Argument Against Making Any Change. SJOSVENin'S PLAIN STATEMENT. Ohio Congressman Says Ten Commandments Are as Likely to Be Modified as Existing Sched ules —Hansbrough's Utterances. GLOBE WASHIXOTOX 81-HKAI', Post Building, Room I".. AVASHINGTON, D. C, N0v.6.-> Th« re sults of Tuesday's election.are to be used by Republicans as an argument against ratifying the reciprocity treaties or re vising the tariff. During' th^ campaign the Republicans, and especially those in Ohio, were very cat-dial to keep tariff re vision in the background. They ap pealed to the voters for an indorsement of the late President McKinley and his gallant succestor, Col. Roosevelt. Today Representative Charles S. Gr^jvenor, member of the ways and means commit tee, discovered an entirely unsuspected significance in the results. •'The returns mean," said he, "that the protective tariff is no more to be revised or modified than the ten commandments. By this I mean that there is to be, not only no revision of the tariff, but no rati fication of any reciprocity treaty which affects the protection now enjoyed by any American industry. It is time the people realized this. The Democrats of Ohio have been making a campaign, on tariff revision, twisting President Mc- Kinley's words at Buffalo in relation to reciprocity into a meaning he never in • tended for them, but even the Ohio Dem ! ccrats have now learned from the result that the people want no reciprocity of. the kind they had in mind, and that the country ia well satisfied with things as they are. The Republican party will fight its battles for the maintenance of the existing system, and on that issue we never again need fear X'esults." In addition to being a member of the committee which will have charge of th~e tariff revision bill, "Foxy Grandpa" Gros venor keeps closey to Uncle Mark Hanna and the machine, and his utterances aro good indications of the latters senfi ments. Formhadoned by Ilannbrongli. It is quite probable that the statement of the Ohio congressman quoted above e%cited little surprise in Republican cir cle?. The attitude of the party on both these questions had been foreshadowed by Senator Hansbrough's statement of the policy of reciprocity and tariff revi sion, as expressed in recent editorials in his newspaper, the Devils Lake Inter Ocean. While it is true that Mr. Hans brough's position reflects the views which are held by the small number of Repub | lican senators who control the upper house, it is thought that ho has been rather more bold than discreet in Baying what he did for North Dakota consump tion. The same things said in one of the newspapers in this city might not have been noticed in North Dakota, and folk? here are surprised to learn of the storm of criticism which; Hansbrough is meeting. If anything additional were needed in the way of proof tnat it, is the intention of the Republican party not to ratify the reciprocity treaties or revise the tariff, it DEMOCRATS Will find The St. Paul Globe right in line. * * is furnished by the Inter Ocfan oi\al. - ' Senator Hansbrough is very close to such > men <|\i;t>»: likely that a good many of the ,jn^umbents ; will \ be. 4. retained, and t that an, ; effort will be made to elect such new onea" as strengthen Hansbrough for re- '-."• election. 1: :^.^^v^ ; T'c V"- T': ■•. •':: -/;'*•■''•-■.--" :Scnntor*'XeeU\ sentiment, regardless Tof'^ pa??y i lines,'. is } unanimously in { favor of • reci procity as ■ interpreted fin."the-^pending J "treaties,; and cf tariff revision, that he. is , : opposed Ito both ; these propositions.
