WASHINGTON, Sept. 23-The State de
partment today posted the following
bulletin:
The Department of State thin (Wednesday)
afternoon received from Minister 1 tea u pre,
at Bogota, a telegram dated September 12,
t p. m.. statins; that since the Introduction
of the proposed law- In regard to the
ranal treaty, and Its first rcuillng. there
has been no discussion of the measure In
the Colombian conKress and that the
situation is unchanged.
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.' The report from, minister, tfeaypre
Indicates that the whole subject has ended
In a deadlock. '
;' Plenty of Good Corn.
Secretary Wilson of . the Agricultural de
partment, returned to. Washington tonight
from Ogden, -t'tah,' where he delivered a
speech before the Irrigation congress. Ills
'journey both ways took him through the
heart of the corn, belt and tonight he said:
"The corn, crop,, gwing to the peculiarity
of the season, was late and light. Heavy
flood destroyed It on bottom lands to a
great extenti. Continued ralna throughout
June and July saturated the level landa
and retarded, the growth of coin. The
frost has Injured It lit streaks. Through
central, iowa. perhaps onequarter of the
crop ha been touched bjr the treese, but
what ha not been . affected by frost s
ripening rapidly wttfcf thlsflheV, weather.
Iowa, for Instance, will not have a many
bushel Je.Myee.r-, 'but win produce more
No. 3 borh than last year., Their will be
plenty of corn in thcountry because feed
ing wa very extensive last year, as the
corn wa of such a character that It had
to be fed. Feeding last year was unprofit
able. Very many feeders lost money, there
for they will feed less this year.
i"A very heavy hay crop wns secured this
season and pastures have been and still are
In excellent condition.
"A to wheat, threshing ha been delayed
by rainy weather. If the present good
weather continue It will progress rapidly.
In considering the wheat crop we must
take account of all the wheat growing
countries. We are getting Into telegraphic
relationship with moBt of the European
countries, so as to be able to estimate the
world' crop more closely than ha -heretofore
been don. Taking our farm prod
uct a a whole, there Is an abundance

ARRESTED FOR TOUCHING MAN
William pettier of Conarll Bluff
Thought to Hare Robbed
Strobeck.
William Settler, colored, wss arrested
last night by Emergency Officer Baldwin
nd Detective Stryker and Hudson In a
room at 1111 Capitol avenue.
August 25 George Strobeck, who lives In
Cpuncll Bluffs, came to this city and vis
ited Levy' saloon In the bad lands. While
there he met soma colored men Who bought
two drinks, after, which they and Stro
beck went into an alley In the rear of the
place. The colored men ran Strobeck up
and down the alley two or three time
and gave him a push out Into the tree?,
when they took to their heel. Btrobeck
felt for his money, amounting to 160, and
his watch and found them both gone. H
gave chase to on of the men, but did
not succeed In overtaking him. Shortly
afterward the Council Bluff man was
picked up on the street In an Insensible
condition, which it I thought wa due to
drugged whisky. He wa taken to th
station and related his story. Several ar
rests were made at the time, but none of
the parties answersd the description of the
men wanted. The police secured a tip as
to who one of the robber wa and they
have been laying for Nettlef ever lnce,
as they think he Is the man.
Strobeck came over from Council .Bluff
the day following the robbery to try and
Identify the men arrested. He stopped In
a saloon to get a drink and overheard a
conversation between three men who had
seen the robbery committed the night be

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.

stand without the colonies surrendering
their fiscal independence.
Mr. Chamberlain replied that the present
correspondence was not relevant to the
fiscal controversy. He had not heard of
any Intention on the part of Canada to
directly negotiate tariff 8 and he declined
to argue the question In a private corre
spondence. Mr. Black has the last word and say
that his point Is that Mr. Chamberlain
launched hi scheme In confessed Ignorance
of the position assumed by the principal
British colony regarding its fiscal relation
with foreign countries and he Is not sur
prised at the resignations from the cabinet.

The result of the election leave the

FRIENDS OF MACEDONIA ASK FOR WAR
Meet In Principal Mercantile tllr of
Haluurln nnd Demnnd Foreign
Intervention After Thanking
Friend of Country
SO PI A, hulgniia. 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.
