COLON, Colombia, Nov. 4. General Qua
droe, the prefect of Colon and the senior
officer commanding the troopa which ar
rived yesterday on the gunboat Cartagena
from Savanllla, are maintaining their por
tion of refusing to acknowledge the au
thority of the provisional government of
Panama, and the troopa refuse to return to
Panama,
The American reeldenta are threatened.
American and foreign families are flocking
for shelter to the railroad building. There
la great commotion hore. The United States
gunboat Nashville has landed about fifty
bluejackets and a quantity of ammunition.
The Colombian gunboat Cartagena has
Just left the harbor, headed northeast. It
is surmised that It Is going to Savanllla.
The Colombian fing still flies over the pre
fecture. The flag of the new republic has
already made Its appearance In Colon.
Karly this morning news waa received of
the shelling of Panama by the Colombian
Ktinbont Bogota, and Instructions were at
once rubied to the United States vice, con
sul there to protect against thla bombard
ment while the commander of the cruiser
Boston was directed to prevent Bogota re
suming firing. It early became apparent
that this government intended to take ac
tive steps to protect life and property on
the Isthmus and to take aa advanced po
sition. Instructions were cabled com
manders of warships on their way to the
Isthmus or already there, to resort to any
necessary measures to prevent bloodshed.
The situation at the two ends of the
railway, Panama and Colon, Is anomalous
and late tonight It developed that the
Colon situation Is the result of plans of
the Navy department miscarrying. The
fc dispatches to Nashville, which should have
. reached it Immediately upon its arrival
at Colon November X, were Intercepted and
were not received by Commander Hub
bard until after the Colombian gunboat
Cartagena arrived at Colon with 600 Co
lombian troops aboard, when It waa too
lata to prevent Its entrance Into the har
bor. The execution of the original scheme
would have eliminated Cartagena from the
situation at Colon and the present unfor
tunate complications.- would 4kav --bee
avoided. ' , .
Tomorrow It is expected further efforts
will be made by the new government at
Panama to obtain recognition at the bands
of the United States.
In view of the ample measures taken
ty the United States It is not expected any
foreign; power will complicate the matter
further by sending, ships to the "isthmian
wafers. 'As soon .as the Pacific squadron,
consisting of Maxblehead. Wyoming and
Conoord. now at Acapulco, finish coaling
they will proceed to Panama to Join Boston.
Troops Will Rot Bo Transported.
It Is reported that the commander of the
I'nlted States gunboat . Nashville, Com
mander Hubbard, this morning notified the
prefect ef Colon and the Panama railway
officials that no troops from either end of
the is aim us would be allowed transporta
tion on the railroad.
The city of Colon was mystified today
when It received the news from Panama
of the overthrow of the national govern
( ment there and the proclamation of the
Independence of the Isthmus yesterday
evening , Colon, however, Is exceedingly
quiet. The government troops which ar
jf rived nora on board the warship Cartagena
from Savanllla yesterday are still here and
their presence at Colon has caused some
difficulties In certain quarters.
J. A. Arango. Tomas Arias and Frederioo
Boyd constitute the provisional government
at Panama. Governor Obaldla. General
Tovar and a few others who were arrested
by the revolutionists at Panama yesterday
are still In custody, aooordlng to the ad
vices received here.
No bloodshed resulted from the revolu
tionary movement, which Is supported by
the people of the highest Intelligence and
wealth at Panama, as well as by the troopa
of that city.
The government troops, which arrived
here yesterday on the Colombian cruiser
Cartagena, refuse to return to Savanllla
or acknowledge the authority of the pro
visional government of Panama. All en
deavors In this direction have so far been
unsuccessful.
A conference la now being held at the
prefecture and trouble la expected mo
mentarily. The excitement la Increasing
and the stores axe being closed.
Asks for Recoa-altlea.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1-The United
Slates government this morning received a
cablegram from Panama requesting that It
recognise the new government The offl
( clals here are as yet In Ignorance as to
what this new government consists of and
bavs taken no action ou the request!
1 The gTeatu.it activity was exhibited In the
I State and Navy departments this morning
and there were frequent consultations bs
' twoe-n the officials, the naval officers pur
; ticularly being intent on working out the
detalle of - the plan of protection of the
Isthmian ' tnufjo outllued by the State de
partment. '
! Navy Is Msktsf Preparations.
1 It Is quite evident that the navy is mek-
(lug preparations for a larger demonstration
In iathuilau waters than It has made for
many years, and the fact Is not disguised
that all of the Information that has come
' from the secret agents of tus government
point to the ultimate success of the
, revolution.
But meanwhile extremely delicate
. questions are to be answered for the oc
, conation of one end of the Panama rail
road by the government force and of the
t other end by the revolutionists makes the
j situation extremely complicated. That Is
, one reason the conferences are being held
j iikI why It la desirable that the moat exact
J Instruction possible under the rlrcum-
Jnw shall be sent to our naval rom
'frtTUiKlers and to the consular office on the
' Isthmus to prevent them from niaVlng
i any false move that would put the United

KANSAS ( ..'tr .-At the opening
meeting of the mmlttee of the
. . . . .
Church Extension -V Jl the Method
1st Episcopal church ay the quertlon
as to whether or not he society should
assist those churches whose buildings cost
more than $10,000 was the principal topic
of discussion. It was the general opinion
of the bishops' and clergymen present that
too much money Is loaned to churches
which build pretentious buildings.
According the the rules of the Church
Extension Society all applications for aid
must come first through the board, which
approves the application and submits It
for approval to the general assembly.
Bishop c. H. Fowler of Buffalo and BlBhop
J. W. Hamilton of Ban Francisco made
strong' pleas for the generad committee to
suspend the article of the manual used
by the assembly to allow the congregation
at Berkeley, Cel., the necessary money
to build a 160.000 church. Rev. A. O. Kynett
and Rev. A. J. King, the secretary,
opposed the motion. A heated discussion
followed and upoon the final vote the
motion to suspend the rules was defeated
1 to 10. It was argued by the opponents
of the motion that while the needs of
college towns like Berkeley, Princeton and
Oberlln are great. It would require at
least $40,000 to build a church at any one
of these places and the money loaned to
those three towns would be sufficient to
help seventy-five or a hundred small strug
gling churches.
The afternoon session was taken up with
the reports of the secretary and treasurer
and the appointment of committees. The
year which has Just passed Is said to have
been the greatest In the history of the
board of ehurch extension. During the
year 11,279 churches have been assisted.
The receipts for the year from all source
amounted to $339,600. he treasurer's re
port shows that during the year $94,676
has been disposed of from the loan fund
and $97,000 has been given to helpless
churches.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 1 Complete return
from aU the precincts In this, Cuyahoga
county. Including the city of Cleveland,
give Herrlck. Tep., for governor, 46.li;
Johnson, $6,649; Herrlck's majority, S.520.
The victory of the republicans In the city
and county Is the most decisive and sweep
ing recorded In many years, not a single
democrat being elected on the entire ticket
The republicans elect a solid delegation
of four state senators and ten representa
tives of the legislative ticket by pluralities
ranging from 4,000 tO $,000.
John H. Clarke, democratic candidate for
United States senator, today made the fol
lowing statement:
The result Is surprising only In the In
crease of the republican majority. The
Increased majority against the democrats I
attribute to the fact that the aggresRlve
campaign waged by Mr. Johnson, with
such aid aa I could render, resulted in
creating an activity on the part of the re
publican organisation not equalled In re
cent years. This brought out a larger
Increased republican vote, while the demo
cratic vote was not correspondingly In
creased, because of the factions in south
ern and western Ohio, which were organ
ised and led . by ambitious and wealthy
men within the party.
In Cuyahoga county all of the men dis
appointed because not given office united
with those who were tried and found
wanting and dropped, and these, under
skillful leadership. In my Judgment, ac
complished the result in this county. To
these factors should be added the adroit
appeal of Senator Hanna to the cupidity
and fears of the people, which seems to
nave prevailed. nut, after all, "tne uuicn
nave effectively captured Holland.
Senator Hanna, referring to the renewed
suggestions made in various quarters to
the effect that he la the logical candidate
for the presidency next year as a result of
the unprecedented victory won in Ohio at
Tuesday's election, made this statement to
night:
The results of the election In Ohio yester
day in nowise changes my opinion In refer
ence to my proposed candidacy for the
presidency, of which position the publlo
line ieon iuiiy navisea.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. . More complete
returns today Indicate that the plurality of
Herrlck, republican, for governor, over
Johnson, democrat, will exceed 126,000, but
that the rest of the republican state ticket
will not have so iarge a plurality.
As the republicans not only carried the
doubtful counties and districts, but also
some that were conceded to the democrats,
the majority on Joint ballot la the legisla
ture for the re-election of Senator Hanna
la now placed at 96 out of a total member
ship in both branches of 143, almost three
times as many as two years ago, when
the republicans had what was considered
an unprecedented majority on Joint ballot
for tli re-election of Senator Foraker. Aa
Senator . Hanna had only one majority on
Joint ballot six years ago, and as he waa
the issue In this campaign, the result Is
generally commented on more aa a victory
than anything else.
Chairman Dick says: "Hanna'a person
ality did It."
The large wagers that were placed "on
information from headquarters did not go
above 76,000 for Herrlck. The betting
republicans have "all kinds of money,"
getting' most of It on much less than half
of Herrlck's plurality.
A syndicate of Cincinnati and Columbus
republicans made very large winnings
from democrats at Cleveland. This syndi
cate refused to bet even on Cuyahoga
county, the home of Hanna and Herrlck,
which the republicans carried by an un
precedented majority.
Today an effort Is being made to ascer
tain whether Johnson carried one-fourth
of the counties, twenty-two out of the
eighty-eight. He did not carry one-fourth
of the state senatorial districts. The over
whelming result also caused much Interest
In what are called "high water marks."
Ohio never exceeded the "one hundred
thousand mark" but twice before. This
was when John Brough, during the civil
war, republican, waa elected governor by
101,049, and In the panlo of 1894 when the
democrats did not come out to vote, the
republicans carried Ohio for secretary of
state by 137,070.
The only other time when anything ap
proaching these marks was reached was
last . year, when the republicans carried
the state by 90,466 for secretary of state
and when Mayor Tom L. Johnson was al
most as much an Issue as this year, and
controlled the democratic state convention
as completely last year aa this year.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 4. The vote eompleja
In Hamilton county for governor stands:
Herrlck, 62,627; Johnson, 12,719; Cowen.
4,287. Herrlck's plurality, 29,908.
CINCINNATI. Nov. 4. From official and
unofficial returns received today from all
the counties In Ohio the plurality of Her
rlck, reel., for governor over Johnson Is
placed at 112,089.
New York.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4. New York atate
yesterday gave a majority of nearly 250,000
In favor of the proposition that the state
shall spend $101,000,000 for Improving Its
canals. The plan Is to widen and deepen
the Erie canal so that It will accommodate
barges of 1,000 tons carrying capacity and
to Improve the Oswego and Champlaln
canals.
George B. McClellan (dem.) will be the
next mayor of Greater New York, having
defeated Mayor Beth Low for re-election by
a plurality of 63,617, complete unofficial re
turns having been received from every elec
tion district in the city. By the same re
turns Comptroller Edward M. Grout and
Charles V. Fornes, president of the Board
of Aldermon, running for re-election on
the democratic ticket, though elected two
years ago as fuslonlsta, defeated their
fusion opponents by 66,790 and 64,973 plu
rality, s respectively. Comptroller Grout
leading the city ticket.
The sweeping democratic victory was ac
complished for the democratic city and
borough tickets In four of the five bor
oughs of the municipality, and Richmond
borough (Staten Island) giving Low a plu
rality and electing fusion borough officers.
J. Edward Swanstrom, who it waa thought
last night might be elected president of

The contest In Douglas county has re
sulted in what may be called a general re
publican victory, although majorities were
not returned for all the republican candi
dates. The count in Omaha and South
Omaha progressed very slowly, so that It
waa x yesterday afternoon before The
Bee was able to give complete figures as to
results. Judge Barnes has held Judra Sulli
van down to a paltry plurality of less than
ZOU, whereas Thompson, the democratln
candidate for governor, went out of Doug
las county last year with a plurality of
2,400. Judge Sullivan ran ahead of the
democratic ticket, the republican candi
dates for regent polling handsome ma
jorities in Douglas county.
On the judicial ticket the democrats and
disgruntled republicans made a desperate
effort to elect the so-called bar nominees,
particularly Judge Dickinson. ComniatW
returns give all the republtoan Judl-.
cial candidates a fair lead, Sutton and Stars
being lowest, with no possibility for Dick
inson to overtake one of them by votna tn
come from the outside counties.
The republican school board ftrV.f t..
also won out from top to bottom by com
fortable majorities that will average In the
neighborhood of 1,000.

duced the bill.
Lee arranged by telephone and telegraph,
he said, with Daniel J. Kelley to get the
money. A check for $8,500 was received by
Lee and deposited In the American Ex
change bank of St. Louis. The bill was de
feated and he drew out $7,000 of the money
and gave It to Senator Farrls In his room
at the La Clede hotel.
Farrls divided the money Into packages
of $1,000 each. Lee got $1,C00 for his Interest
In the matter.
The cross-examination of Lee occupied all
the afternoon session, and was very rigid.
A large number of letters and several tele
grams were submitted for his Identification.
They were alleged to have been sent by
him to Kelley. Some he admitted having
written, others he denied having been the
author of. Lee stuck to his story told In
a recent examination. He admitted having
received checks from Kelley for $8,500, but
explained that they were for the enforce
ment of the pure food law and advertising
In papers. The state will close tomorrow

Resalt at Bitter Fae
tloaal Flcfct.
Complete returns have been reoslvH
from forty-nine of the ninety counties In
the state and partial ones from practically
all of the remainder. The forty-nine coun
ties complete. Including Douglas and Gags,
represent considerably over half the total
vote of the state. In these oountlea Barnes,
rep., for supreme Judge, haa a plu
rality of 6.107. In the nun oountlea two
years ago Sedgwick had a plurality of 9,1'.
Thnee. figures taken In connection with the
partial returns from the remaining counties
Indicate that the plurality of Barnes, In the
state will be 10,000. The heaviest loss for
Barnes, as compared with the Sedgwiok
vote, was In Douglas county, where It aver
aged almost twenty to the precinct Out
In the state, particularly tn the oountlea
having no large towns, he haa not lost
anything or at the most only a fraction of
this figure. These counties are, aa a rule,
the ones only partially reported. From thla
It would seem a safe estimate to ' plao
Barnes' plurality at tha flgura named.
There la nothing at band upon which to
base an accurate estimate of th rot for
regents, but the meager returns would Indi
cate that they will have a larger plurality
than the head of the ticket
In the Judicial districts the republicans
have been successful In fifteen, the fusion
lets In four, with one In doubt Reavts. rep.,
is defeated In the first district though tha
republicans eleot the other Judge. This Is
due to a bitter factional fight which was
waged upon him.

What Caadidatos Say. i
LINCOLN, Nov. 1 (Special Telegram.)
Returns received at state headquarters)
from 393 precincts give Barnes 13 .74 and
Sullivan 25.045. The republican majority In
these precincts Is 26 less than two years
ago. Chairman Weber of the populist com
mittee concedes Barnes' el act! on by from
6,000 to (,000.
When asked what had become of his
wet weather voters, Mr. Weber said: "Of
the voters brought out by the wet weather
Sullivan got a majority, but ws could not
keep the other fellows In line."
Judge Sullivan said: "I am paying little
attention to the returns. I made iny light
in the Third ward at Columbus and If I
carry that I will be satisfied."
When assured of his election Judge
Barnes said: "I feel gratified for 'this ex
pression of confidence of the people. Th
state committee deserves great credit for
the campaign It waged."
John L. Webster was pleased at the re
turns received and aald It meant 30,000 ma
jority for President Roosevelt.
The state committee concedes tha defeat
of Reavls for Judge in the First district.
Definite figures on yesterday's election '
will probably be lacking for days. Suf
ficient returns have been received, however,
to make It certain that Barnes has been '
elected associate Justice of the stfrpsme
court by from 7,000 to 10,000 and th balanoe
of the republican state ticket by about
1,000. Chairman Weber of the populist state
committee said on the face ot the returns
he conceded Barnes' election and with him
the two republican regents ot lbs univer
sity. Of the twenty-seven district Judges bal
loted for this year tbe republicans elected
fifteen, the fuslonlsts four and seven are
In doubt Th republicans mad gaina In
county offices.
The total vote of the state, It Is thought,
will not exceed 190,000.
