An attack on that city la momentarily
expected and much uneasiness la folt there.

pected shortly at Colon.
It la rumored hen; that Ilucna Ventura,
a Colombian port on the 1'aciflc count about
400 mllca eolith of Panama, ha boon taken

port. Is lacking.
Marines from Machlas still guard the sta
tion and property of the railroad ' here.
Iowa will land forces at Panama when the
necessity arises.
The liberals hero have given notice that
the ad valorem duty on goods disembarked
nt Colon will henceforth be 10 per cent

defeated It, onlyt Oenenvl Alban and a' few
of bis troops 'eaV"PioK- I" K'BO claimed
that the other division of General Alban'a
army was routed by General Lugo, who
Joined the liberal ranks. Tho liberals at
Colon are Jubilant and expect General Lugo

S-nor ftsprlella, counsel for tho Panama

The officials of the company fear that If
General Albnn, after tho tight nt Chorrera,

the place was burned. On that occasion

after his men bad breakfasted on shipboard,
but whllo they were dining the town was
net on fire and properly worth $3,000,000

Purpose In Announcement.
The &nswcr of the Colombian government
to the representations of Consul General
lludgtr to the effect thab the government
was unable to guarantee, tho Integrity of
the railway communication across tho isth
mus was purposely developed In order to
make perfectly plain tho fact that tho
United States was thoroughly Justified In
landing ita forces nt Colon. With thin
formal acknowledgment from tho Colombian
government of Its Inability to maintain
communication it becomes, it is said, not
the privilege, but the duty of tho United
gtairs, under tho treaty of Granada, lo
guarantee that communication, even though
the use of force Is necessary. It Is not In
tended to Interfere between factions, con
aervatlve or liberal, unless a faction places
Itself In the position of obstructing the pur-
pon of tho United Stutet. to keep the Pan
ama railroad open to free traffic.

LONDON, Nov. 22. The most Important
position In tomorrow's edition of the Spec

this doctrlno America might proposo It to
tho rest of the powers for endorsement.
If they ml tiered I heir position would bo of
great use, not to America, but to tho cause

"Possibly no other power but Great

then it would be worth our while to pledge
ourselves to respect It, for wo, nover menu

our example will bo followed by others."
Tho Spectator will also approve the ca

VICTORIA, R. C, Nov. 22. James Zeloy
of the secret service of the S'ukon terri
tory, who Is here, says the conspiracy
formed In Dawson was discovered by the
police there In September. It was an or
ganisation known as the Order of the Mid
night Sun, founded at Dawson by some
American Fenians, and a branch was
formed at Skagway, but the order did not
extend south. The plans were for the con
spirators In Dawson to rlso when the word
was given, after the Yukon had become un
fit for travel, seize the barracks of the
northwest mounted police, while their
Skaaway ennfereea, nfter rutting the
wires, were, to surprise the mounted police
patrols along tho river. There are about
250 mounted police scattered through the
district and ns there are few in Dawson
the scheme was thought to be feasible, The
papers of the areociatlon were selzod at
Skagway, hut the seizure being made In
United States territory arc held by Ameri
can officers. The secretary of the order
has fled to Seattle.
OTTAWA, Nov. 22. It has transpired
that the mounted police have been tracing
up an nlleged conspiracy to seize the Yukon
tcrrttory.
Tho last dispatch which the mounted po
lice department has received on the sub
ject was dated November 4. It was from
Superintendent Wood of Dawson and reads.
Snyder reports he discovered whereabouts
In Bkugway of papers relating, to the con
spiracy to seize territory. United States
refuses to secure unless Snyder makes
affidavit as to conspirators. This, of
course, he cannot do. Am satisfied such
conspiracy exists.
Snyder Is one of the policemen. It Is
said that the papers have been removed
from Skagway. At any rato they were not
found.

NEBRASKA MAINTAINS RIGHT

Will ame .inrcrsanr In
Oslinru,
(From n Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Nov, 22. (Special Tele
gram.)"! believe. Nebraska will be ac
corded the right to name u successor to the
late Judge Luther W. Osborn," said Semi
tor Dietrich today, "and that tho senators
from the state will readily agrco upon the
name to be submitted to the president for
the appointment,"
Senator Dietrich, after his talk with
President Roosevelt regarding tho consul
gcnernlshlp to Samoa, had a conference
with Secretary Hay of tho Slato depart
ment ns to Judge Osborn's successor. While
nothing definite was arrived at tho senior
senator from Nebraska came away from tho
conference exceedingly plenaed with the
situation.
Thero is, however, a leaning on the part
of the State department toward u new
policy In Samoa and that Is to allow a
representative of tho navy to transact all
mattern affecting our relations with the
other nations that nre a party to the tri
partite agreement and to censo being com
mercially tcpresented by a consul general.
How this can be brought about without
a protest on the part of the commercial
Interests Is not clearly defined, as our In
terests In tho Samoa group seem to keep
pace with our growth In other portions of
the far Pacific. Senator Dietrich Is not
Impressed with thn view taken by some
officials of tho Stato department ami be
lieves that tho Interests of the United
States can only be conserved by a diplo
matic representative.
It Is lenrned tonight that Secretary Hay
has yielded his objections to Appointing a
consular representative of this government
to Apia, Samoa, aud that he will not ntnnd
In the way of tho senators from Nebraska
selecting a suitable person for the place.
He does not like the idea, however, of
recommending to the president a man born
In Germany, but prefers n native born
citizen. It Is believed, howovcr, that the
objections which Hay urges to such nn ap
pointment will bo removed when the sena
tors from Nebraska begin to bear down
on the head of tho State department.
While tho term of Postmaster Harrison
at Grand Island does not expire until next
May, It Is pretty definitely known that
his successor has been agreed upon by
Senator Dietrich In the person of Dr. H.
C. Miller. If the conditions aro then ns
now ,Dr. Miller will bo appointed.

Northern railroads could not be upset
through legal proceedings, based on al

some changes might be forced. It was held
by theso Interests that thero was a question
as to whether President 11111 of the Great

right to bo a member of the bonrd of direc

BOARD IS GIVEN FREE HAND
Official rqunllrcrs Are Authorised to
Assess t'hleaicn Traction Com
pany Despite Protests.
SPRINOFIKLD, HI., Nov. 22. The appli
cation of tho Chicago Union Traction com
pany and the Consolidated Traction com
pany for nn Injunction restraining the
State Board of Kquatltatlon from assess
ing the capital stock of thete companle
for 19i0 was denied thla afternoon by
Judges GrosBcup and Humphrey In the
United States circuit court. The tempo
rary Injunction Issued by Judge Orosscup
on Thursday was dissolved. No written
opinion in the case was given. Judge
Orosscup stated at length tho reasons for
tho decision, cxpliilnlug that later Judge
Humphrey would file a written opinion.
The method to be followed In determin
ing the value ot capital stock for purposes
of taxation was discussed by Judgo Oross
cup nt length. As to bonds, he said. It
would bo grossly unfair to base tho ansoss
ment on the stock value quoted on the
stock exchange. These wero frequently. If
not generally, determined by clrcumstaucea
qulto distinct from the real valuo ot the
stocks ln question.
Ho died aB an Illustration tho Northern
Pacific Hurry of a few months ago. There
nobody would contend that tho real value
of the stock exceeded par, yet tho quota
tion reached $1,000. Nor had any court
decided thnt the equalization board must bo
governed by the quotnhle market prices of
capital stock. It waa the decision of the
supremo court of Illinois In the franchise
tnx case recently decided, he said, that
these prices morely must be taken "Into
consideration." It still remained for the
equalization board to exercise Its Judg
ment In determining tho real value of rap
ltnl stock fdr purposes of taxation,
CHICAGO, Nov. 22. The refusal to grant
an Injunction caused heavy selling of stock
of the affected companies on tho stock ex
change. Union' Traction common dropped
points to' 10. whllo tho preference Is
sue declined Hi points. Stock of the
North Chicago company fell zy, points.

PROTEST FROM ONE OF RANK AND FILE
Latter 9as Fusion Defeat Is Duo
Chiefly to tiniceGrttliiK Ambi
tions of Self-Appointed
Landers.
The following letter from former Benstor
William V. Allen la a delayed response
to The Bee'a request to a few of the fualon
leaders of Nebraska for an expression of
opinion of tho political situation of their
parties in the light ot the recent election
In this state.
MADISON. Neb., Nov. 21, 1!0L To the
Editor of tho Bee: I havo tho honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter
asking for a brief statement of my views
on "The Future of Kutlon In Nebraska."
This Ir tho first opportunity I have had to
answer and owing to a pressure of busi
ness my reply must of necessity bo brief.
I have always denied and now deny that
thero Is fusion betweeu the democrats and
populists ln Nebraska. There has beou
co-operation for somo years between thn
two parties and probably this will continue
for another year, but there has never boeu
fusion.
There la not the slightest probability of
a disorganization or disruption of tho popu
Hat party. It Is nn well solidified nnd as
completely organised as the democratic
or republican party, and, no doubt, It will
continue so In the future. If tho democratic
party should return to Clevelandlsm. thore
will doubtless bo tbreo tickets In the field
In 1004, for no populist will accept Mr.
Cleveland, or anyone holding his political
views, as a candidate for the presidency.
No NlKnlflennor Kleotlou.
I look for a much larger populist voto
In Nebraska next fall than we have had
for some years. I think tho late election
signifies nothing so far as It may be reck
oned ns a haals for future calculations. T,hn
popullat voto Is In tho country; It Is difficult
to get out; tho republican voto Is In the
cities and towns and of easy, access to
the polls; it Jas all out this year. The
weather on election day was adverse to
polling a large opposition vote. Many popu
lists unfortunately are of the opinion that
tho opposition being In the majority, It In
not necessary for them to go to the polls;
they seem to think, a battle vcan be. fought
and won remalnlug away from (ho .field
of action. They will recovor from this ami
aee tho necessity ot casting their ballots.
' Differences nf Faith.
DoubtlesH damage has been done by the
pcrtlatent attemptn of somo democrats to
disorganize and destroy tho populist parly
and absorb Its membership. This has bceu
taken by soma populists to menu that thoru
Is a possibility of dismantling tho or
ganization and turning It over to the dem
ocrats. In this, however, they nro mis
taken. The democratic and populist partlen
do not. ngrro on many cssontlal points of
political faith.
Tho democrats bellevn that It Is strictly
essential to redeem govurumrut paper
money In pome kind of coin to give It
force and value, whllo populists believe
aa a rulo thnt a government nolo based
upon the taxing power of tho nation and
strictly llmltod In quantity Is as valuable
ns a medium of excliango oh gold or silver
without any apeclfln provision for Its re
demption in coin. Populists believe In
government ownership of railways, tele
graphs, tolephonos, In the establishment
nf postal savings hanks, In thn initiative
nnd referendum and In tho nationalization
of all natural monopolies. Democrats be
lieve In nono of theso.
Parties .Must Hemaln Nepnrnte.
And thus It will bo r.bservetl'wlthout go
ing further Into details thnt thoro Is a
well defined lino of demarcation between
the two parties, which will not permit
them to be brought together. The teach
ings of thn populist party have done much
to enlighten the public on vital political
questions, an enlightenment which the
democratic, party could not or would not
have produced In the a.itno tlmn. These
differences must of necessity keep thn two
parties separate, while locally thoy may co.
operate along certain agreed lines. Tho faith
of the populist Is too clear and strong anil
toe well founded to pormlt him to bo sb
aorbed by any other organization. The
populist party w continue to live and
grow ttronger year by year.
Very Truly Yours,
WILLIAM V. ALLBN.

OMAHA. Nov, 1R. To the Editor of The
Bee; I see in Thn Bee published somo let
ters of ex-tenatnrs, ex-congreFsmen, etc .
In explanation of fusion defeat In Nrhraska
this fall.
Now, after all the wise men and th
prominent men have spoken. I think one
of thn rnnk and file, one who ban for nearly
twenty years kept right on the firing line
of tho great battle for reform, one who
haa nover held nor ever asked to hold
office, should be given a ctianco to oxprcs
hU opinion.
The cnuse for fusion defeat In Nebraska
In short and sweot. Just llko tho old wotu
an'n dance. Fusion was defeated beraus
all true reformers are sick, tired of heart
of having thy wool pulled nil over our even
by a set of hypocrites, self-appointed
leaders whoso highest ambition Is ofllre
for revenue only, who are trying to u
the rank and file of the voters as a stepping
stono oqly, for their own profit and glorl
flcatlon. Tho Jig Is up boys parties may
be hot stuff, but the sooner our lordly
leader will swallow It, tho hctter It will
be for all concerned,
