France and Germany Will

Americans.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Washington, D. C., Nov. il.-The state
department has received a cablegram from
United States Minister Beaupre at Bogota,
dated November 9, in which the minister
states that large crowds were parading
the streets on the 8th instant crying,
"Down with Marroquin." There was a
mass meeting denouncing the president
and calling for a change of government.
Hundreds gathered at the palace, and
the orator, a prominent general, called for
the resignation of the president. The
gathering was dispersed by the troops,
several people being wounded, but there
were no fatalities. The city was under.
martial law and well guarded by soldiers.
The legation of the United States was
under the protection of the government,
but there were no manifestations of hostile
demonstration. The residence of l.orenzu
Marroquin (believed here to be a senator
and son of the president) has beena at
tacked with stones.
Colombia Out of If.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS,
Washington, I). C., Nov. l .-!ft is
stated here on authority that it is too late
for Colombia to make any effort to resur
rect the canal treaty with the United
States and beyond preventing a hostile
clash between Colombia and the new re
public of Panama, the proposed visit of
General Reyes to Panama will be without
result. The same authority points out
that the United States governtenf, hav
ing recognized Panama as an indeplendent
state, cannot now proceed to ncgotiate
with Colombia on any terms for canal
rights in a state over which Colombia ex
ercises no politioal control, so any future
eanal negotiations will be between the
United States government and the gov
ernment of the republic of Panama.
Mr. Tower, our ambassador at Berlin,
has cabled the state departmuent that he
has been requested by Baron Von Rich
thofen, the German foreign secretary, to
Inform the Washington government that
the report that Germany intenided to be
come Involved in the isthmian situation
Is entirely without foundation and noth
ing is known in Berlin of the intention
of Colombia to appeal to Emperor Wil
tlam for assistance, as was alt ged in a
tecent interview by the Colombian consul
general at New York. Mr. Tower adds
that he was further assured by the foreign
secretary, in a most earnest and sincere
fanner, that the question of Germany's

OLD TIME BLIZARD
SWEEPS ACROSS
NORTHWEST
WIRES ARE DOWN AND RAILWAY
TRAFFIC 18 GENERALLY IM
PEDED BY THE STORM.
BAROMETER IS LOW AND
MONTANA MAY SUFFER
Storm Was Not Expected and May Have
Come From the North-Reports
From All Sides Show That the
Snow Has Been General.
Montana is facing the first severe
snow storm of the winter of 1903-1904
today. The storm center appears to be
in the Rocky mountains, both Butte and
Helena getting their share of the beau
tiful. Reports from Eastern, Western
and Northern Montana Indicate that the
storm is quite general. The weather is
not particularly cold and consequently
little damage is anticipated. Special
dispatches to the Inter Mountain from
its correspondents give the conditions.
Observer J. R. W\harton reports that the
barometer at the street railway office reg
istered the lowest point today of any
record here.
The mark in centimeters today is 5s.g.
This is it points lower than at any time
this year and several points lower than
February 25, tzoa, which date held the
record for low barometer.
Under ordinary circumstances this
would indicate a big storm. ()n the sea
sailors would reef sails and begin looking
for a safe harbor.
Reports of heavy snow fall all over the
Rocky Mountain region are coming in,
and the indications are that railway traffic
will be seriously insterrupted in many
places. Telegraph wires are down in a
number of towns.
Storm in Montana.
Today's storm in Montana was wholly
unexpected by the weather bureau. The
prognostication given out yesterday pre
dicted ihat the day would be fair and cold.
It is cold, but not fair.
The explanation givenl out today for
the error Is that the storm came from the
north, where there are no observing sta
tions. It happens sometimes that storms
come down across British Columbia and
nothing is known of them until they strike
the most northerly stations. This was
the way it happened yesterday.
On the Coast.
On the Pacific coast a high rate of pres
sure was reported, which extended as far
east as the Middle states. The low pres
sture area was in the north part of the
United States and Canada.
It was calculated that the high pre,
sure area would gradually force its way

FRITZ AUG. HEINZE DID
NOT CARE TO.ARGUE IT
Starts Discussion With Former Alderman
Duggan, But Backs Out When
He Gets the Worst of It.
.Fritz Augustus HIeinze was in an argu
ncentative mood last night when lie en
tered the Hutte hotel, followed by his
retinue, and immediately singled out for
mer Alderman Larry l)uggan, who also
was willing to argue. Mr. l)uggan hap
pened to remark that the extra session
of the legislature would be a good thing
for the state.
"It is a most infamous proceeding,"
remarked Mr. Hieinze, "and can be of no
avail unless it is to allow the Amalga
mated to call in their favorite judges
from the cow counties."
"It will at least give everyone an op
portunity to secure a fair trial," replied
Mr. I)uggan. "and I am willing to argue
the point with you."
At this the remainder of Mr. Ileinze's
party attempted to drown Mr. lDuggan's
voice, all besetting hint at once. Then an
outsider, an cx policeman, stleppled in and'
demanded that the two gentlemen be
given a chance to be heard.
"If you are a gentleman," said Heinze
to Duggan, "you will not argue this matter
here hefore this crowd. You belong to
the Amalgamated company and I am
Heinze."
"You were willing a few minutes ago.
If you are averse to arguing the extra
session matter here, we will go out on
the street and talk it over," was Mr.
Duggan's reply. I have never worn any
man's collar, and speak as a private citi
zen.
"I do not wish to talk with you," said
Heinze, as he strode from the room, still
followed by his retainers,
