CIIlCAtiO, Nov. 14. Twcnty-flve
cars tun on the Weutwor h avenue
line, without damage to the cars or
injury to the rion-u Ion employes
operating them, was what the Chica
go City Railway company w;is able to
accomplish yesterday with the assist
ance of the p lice (iepait.in tit. The
last trip was started at 3; 40 p. in.
While there was no active Interfer
ence with tho handling of the cars
such as attended the attempts to run
cars, before tho crowds lined I he
streets Jeered and hooted the police
and the non-union men almost with
out Intermission. Hut two stones
were burled at the cars during th"
day and neither did damage worth
mentioning. At nightfall the ollicl
als of the st reet car company were
inclined to view the day's work as
being successful and on tho whole
satisfactory.
They announced that cars would
be run tomorio on the Wentwortn
avenue line at the same hours as to
day and that attempts would he made
to operate other lines, which were,
however, not specified.
When the news of the strike came
to Manager McCullov.h he was Indig
nant. "An agreement with a Chi
cago union" ho declared, "is worth
nothing. Our fireman's contract, cal
ling for one year's work is Just two
days old and Is br kcn. We will go
right along, however."
Shortly alter this decision was an
nounced the situation wascomp'ica'cd
for the company by thrsudden s rike of
the firemen m.doyed In ait six powei
houses owned by the company. The
firemen's union made an agreement
to days ago with thecompany which
was to last for a year. Thore was a
Clause in the contract which gave the
firemen the discretion to go on a sym
pathetic strike if the com nany declin
ed to arbltratrt with the employes now
on strike. The company explained its
attitude on arbitration, and said that
it had always been willing to arbitrate
the question of wages. The liremen
t en signed the c-ntract which was
repudiated this even,!- g. Tho officials
of the firemen's union declared that
they had ordered the stride because
thecompany had declined their olTet
to meditate between the coinpanj
and the employes now on strike.

PANAMA, Nov., 16 President
Marnxjuin's statement as conveyed in
l cablegram to General Piaza. presi-
lent of Ecuador, that Geneidls Reyes,
Uaballeros, Ospina and llo'guin are
now marching on the isthmus to
' suppress tbe isthmus trators," Las
set the entire population of the
sthmus laughing. Protected by the
impenetrabi ity of the land an I the
many leagues of coast line sepe rating
the ialhraus from Colombia and confi
dent that the United Slates intends
to prevent the lauding of Colombia
soldiers fiom the sea, the isthmians
feel that their security is absolute.
The ktos of the isthmian territory
is, of course, a tragedy for Colombia.
fhe government at Hogota is probably
ignorant of the attitude taken by the
government of the United Siates dur
ing the last two weeks. In a frenzy
to save its face," to appea.se an
angry and disappointed populace and
to satisfy the public demand for some
appearance of activity and an attempt
to save the honor and the territorial
integrity of Colombia, the govern
ment is no doubt promising and
threatening to send forces to tbe
coast and to take other aggressive
steps. The realization by the Colom
bian government of the Impossibility
of sending troops to the isthmus
would not necessarily deter It from
taking these steps, which, as already
stated, are intended merely to satiefy
the people.

first car manned by the newly hired
non-union crew lift the carbarn,
guarded by a do?en policemen, at 8
o'cl ck and was followed fot:r mln
utes later by another train.
Twenty-rive cars in all were putlntc
si rvice but the schedule was fre
quently Interfered with by delays by
obstructions being placed on the
tricks, etc. The most serious trou
ble oceured during the morning when
a number of arrests were made, but
c ashes between the police and the
cmwds that lined the streets were
frequent during tbe afternoon and
when darkness set In it was riot con
sidered safe to send more cars fiom

attorneys, Haner & Hanier, in the

fident that it ,s an utter itnpossib ltv
lor tlie woman to have shot her s eep
lng husband. She was convicted in
ibe district court of Roller count
and sentenced to life imprisonment,
the J-.ry declining to recommend the
death penalty. Mrs. Llllle secured a
stay of execution and has been in the

three fraternal insurance companies
or $S,0o0 insurance on her husband's
life.
In a suit from Nemaha county
pending before the supreme court a
man who was convicted of buiglarj
asks for lils lil erty because lie was
convicted largely on the cvldenoe oi
blood hounds who traced him to his
home. He contends that such evi
dence Is not admissible In court,
bloodhounds not being' cnnpetenl
witnesses. In the Lfllie case tin
attorneys contend that Mrs. I ill it
should be liberated on acoount of tin
testimony or bloodhounds who follow

were arrested and afterwards liberat
