No additional word had been received by Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge, up to a late hour tonight regarding the Pan ama canal treaty. Dr. Herran says he would not be surprised If Colombia should lake the Initiatory steps for a renewal of the canal negotiations along somewhat different lines from that on which the last convention was framed. Thnt this Is pos sible, he says, is Indicated by the com rqunloatlons which have come to the de partment from the Colombian legation to the affect that the Bogota government was anxious to keep alive -the canal negotia tions.'

"A to wheat, threshing ha been delayed by rainy weather. If the present good weather continue It will progress rapidly.

EDUCATED CHRISTIANS AID OUTRAGES Trouble starts In Quarrel Rein-pen Russian Peasants and Jews and t Antl-emltlc Outbreak Be comes rirnerol. OOMF.L, Government of Muhile. UiieslB, Monday. Sept. 21. Tlio Associated Press correspondent has inndo an investigation on the spot where the "Progrom,'' ns the Russians describe the antl-semlte riot, oc curred Sfptember 11. and were continued for several clays. The riots were smaller but perhaps more remarkable than those which took place at Klshineff, because the police and military openly sided with the plunderer and murderers the "Frogrom shlekH." as the Russians called them. The troops, supported by many educated and well-to-do Christians, formed a move able shield behind which the "Progrom shleks" ruthlessly demolished the Jewish home and shops and cruelly clubbed such Jews as fell Into their hands, leisurely pro ceeding from street to street and district to district as they did so. The commerce and Industry of Gomel Is largely In the hands of the Jewish popula tion, numbering 25,000 and the Jewish arti sans Incline to socialism. The trouble began September 11, a holiday, "Tho day of the beheading of John the, Baptist," In a wrangle In the fruit and fish markets between peasants and Jews. The wrangle ended In n free fight In which many were wounded, one peasant succumb ing to lils Injuries. The peasants demanded vengeance and employed the following days, Saturday and Sunday, in Inflaming the antl-semltlc agltution, the leader being an officer named Penskw, and a rich mer chant named Petrachenko. Everybody knew that a "Prcgrom" would occur on Monday and the Jews appealed for protection to the chief of police, who summoned a regiment from its summer en campment: thus there were 1.G00 soldiers in tho town. Officers Club Jew. At luncheon hour on Monday the antl semltlc railway workmen to the number of several hundred began an organized nt tack on Jewish house on Samakovoskst street, and demolishing or spoiling the bulky articles by soaking them with kero sene. Police Chief Ravsky had placed po lice and soldiers on the street, but they acted as though they Were Intended to pro tect the "Pogramshleks" from Injules. Jews attempting to rescue their corelig ionists were clubbed or bayonetted or ar rested. The rioters poured steadily over the bridge leading from tho railway workshops. A bystander begged the commander of the gendarmerie to send troops to guard the exit from the bridge. The officer replied by threatening the man with arrest, and said, "We know what we have to do?" The plunderer now proceeded from street to street, the troop and police followed them and cutting off access to the devas tated Jewish houses. They subsequently visited the Jewish quarter called "Amer ica," then Konnays square, the upper tnd of Roumianaovskays street, the, principal thoroughfare of the town, and the district called "Caucasus, " . Hundred of House Wreeked. ' Altogether nearly 400 houses and shop wero wholly or partially wrecked, the win dow smashed, the blinds and frame be ing splintered and every scrap of furniture and effects, even the samovar, sewing ma chines, mirror and lamps destroyed or stolen. The Jews who did not take refuge with' compassionate Christians or conceal themselves In cellars were severely beaten and In many cases dangerously wounded. Some young Jews, exasperated by the ac tion of the police and troops, armed them selves with any available weapons and tried to force their wy to the threatened houses. One Jewess attempted to shoot a noncommissioned officer, and twenty-five re volver shots were heard In the vicinity of the bosar, but were apparently fired In the air, as no one wa hurt. The police then undertook to disarm the Jews. Forty build ing laborers collected In the. busiest part of Roumansovskaya street and stopped find heat every' passing Jew. This gang was en couraged by Assistant Police Captain Char nolonsky and Rural Police Commander Ye lensky. The gang clubhed Berg Kevash to death in .the presence of these officers, and after th victim had been removed to the hospital the latter continued In amicable conversation with the murderers, none of Whom were arrested. . . Soldier Fire On Jew. The Jew collected In force at Konnaya square at 4 o'clock In the afternoon, when the military fired on them, killing three and wounding others. Presumably on the governor's .instructions, the military em ployed their firearms against the "Pogrom Shluks" In the "Caucasus," killing three. ' This action, and nightfall, put an end to the pogrom. Four hundred peasants arrived in Gomel early the following day (Tuesday), but were easily driven away by the military, A few house were pillaged that day and two more on Wednesday, after which no dis orders occurred until September 18, when fruit gardener named Svagclsky was bar barously slaughtered by thieves. EXPENSIVE STREET CAR RIDE Little Jaunt with Festive Woman tost Ranger Hundred nnd Fifty Dollar. L. J. Hendricks of Ewlng, Neb., paid 1150 for a short street car ride Tuesday even lng. Mr. Hendricks Is In th sheep raising buslner. Occasionally he comes to Orailia to sell a few head of Hheep or a few pounds of wool. He came here for that purpose Tuesday. He landed at South Omaha, sold his sheep and wool, put $175 of the money In his pocket and started out to have a good time. He remembers coming to Omaha, remembers that he got on a Far nam street car, met a your.g woman, talked to her, got confidential and told her all about htnuelf, apoke touching!)- of h hopes and aspirations in life, aya possibly he held her hand for a few seconds, but is not quit clear on this point. He remem bers she left him and di-'uppnared In the direction of the Millard hotel after the street car ride was finished. That wa about all he could tell the police of his lit tle escapade except that Hi) of his tnoney disappeared simultaneously with the waman. The sad part of the affair Is the fact that Her.drlck say he would not be able to Identify the woman. HI cate. the police say, is hopeless and Mr. Hendricks is try ing to reconcile himself to the lor of his heep money. Pleased with III Mine. STLRGI8, 8. D.. Sept. 2J.-Spcial.-C. A.

Sept. 23. A less hope ful feeling prevails tonight, although no actual change is reported. The events of the next two days are awaited with great anxiety and .opulur feeling is becoming more excited. A largely attended meeting of Macedonian sympathisers held at Rustchek, Rulgarla, September 2, nnd adopted resolutions appealing to the Uul eaxlan government to declu-re war on Turkey Immediately. In revolutionary circle war is believed to be Imminent unless Turkey stops mas sacrelng the Christians, of which there are no signs at present. Dr. Christo Tartar cheff, president of the Macedonian organi zations, has Informed the Associated Press correspondent that the Insurgent commit tees attach no Importance to the reported negotiations between Turkey and Bulgaria because similar propositions were discussed in 1897, and later In IM and 19U0. The porte. added Dr. Tartarcheff, only entered Into the conference In order to gain time to finish the extermination of what It regards the dangerous elements In Mace donia, wJilch leaves the troops now at Mnnasttr free to move against Bulgaria and bring more soldiers from Asia. While ' the sultan's government Is dis cussing proposals for reform In Macedonia the troops continue to massacre the Chris tians and devastate the country. I.lttle Hope of Improvement. Referring to the details of the proposed arrangements Dr. Tartarcheff said there was no guarantee that even If the com mission was appointed It would ever be more than ornamental. The various vil lage commissions In Macedonia have Bul garian members, but they are always fa vorable to the Turks. The president of the Macedonian organisation concluded by de claring that the Insurgents would be sat isfied with nothing short of intervention by the powers. Social significance attaches to the Mace donian meeting at Rustchuk because the resolutions adopted are the first open ex pression of such an emphatic character in favor of war coming from any popular meeting In Bulgaria. Rustchuk Is the chief commercial town In- the country. Resolu tions were also passed thanking the pope, the English bishops, the Trades Union con gress, and the British and American press for their expression of sympathy with the Macedonian cause. Fighting is reported to have taken place near Kotschant.' on the frontier, where the Turks lust fifty men killed and the Insurg ents suffered a loss of ten. A panlo pre vails at Kotschant and all business and work Is st a standstill. A number of reports of other encounters and atrocities by the Turks continue to come In. Becoming; More Strained. CONSTANTINOPLE. Sept. 23.-The re lations between Turkey and Bulgaria ure dally becoming mora strained. Rumors are current of a crisis at Yildlz Kiosk, and that the grand vlslershlp has been offered to Said Pasha, who was unceremoniously dis missed last year, tout that he declines to tako over again the office unless he Is au thorised to declare war on Bulgaria, which the sultan hesitates to do. As one of the results of the numerous cabinets at Yildlx Kiosk the transfer of thirty-two lattallons from Monastlr to Adrianople has been ordered and some thirty-two young officers have gone to .Monastlr and Adrianople to help the army officers. The military commission Is practically In permanent session. BRUSSELS. Sept. 23. King Leopold has signed a decree appointing four Belgian of ficers to reorganise the Macedonian gen darmerie. Heavy Fighting 'in Bulgaria. LONDON, Sept. H.-A dispatch to the Dally News from Dubnltxa, dated Septem ber 23, says heavy fighting ha been pro ceeding near the village ofMlshlno In the district of Kotchang, five miles over the Bulgarian border. The Insurgents num bered 260 under Captains Treneff and TschernoplT, the latter being the man who captured Miss Stone, the American mis sionary. The Turkish force, which con sisted of ten battalions with artillery, suf fered considerably. The Insurgents sent couriers asking for Immediate reinforce ments. The insurgents have completely routed the Turks at Melnik and have captured many of them, including the commander of a Turkish division, who Is being kept a prisoner. Many Turks were killed. The Times correspondent at Vienna tele graph that there is excellent authority for believing the Austro-Hungarlan gov ernment has abandoned all Intention of re viving or extending the Austro-Russlan program of Macedonian reform. This de cision, he says, was probably Influenced by the German chancellor, Count von Buelow. High gpeed for Kleetrle Car. BKRLIN. Sept. 23.
