    "PROTEST OF THE SIOUX. "
.An Original Stntuc to He Shown ot
the St. Louis World's Fair.
In the Tnlace of Art at the forthcom
ing Louisiana Purchase i\positioi
will be found evidence of the inlerast
in sculpture which the Chicago exposi
tion and the bazaar at P.ufTsiIo infused
In the genius of this and other coun
tries. America became interested In
sculpture during the World' * Fair to
tin extent that placed a higher commer
cial value upon the works of many an
Individual whose stud'o work brought
-on by the willingness of the Ajnerlcan
1'KOTcsT OF urn sioux. '
to buy IKIS given a healthy tone to the
profession.
"The Protest of the Sioux , " which ia
to be exhibited , shows the Indian as
we are led to feel he once existed. a
'grand red min , forceful , powerful phy
sically , vigorous and unsubmissive. In
this statue he displays marvelous phj'-
sique. His clenched hand is raised in
protest The lines of his face are drawii
In the agony which the tumult of his
feelings demanded. His strong nature
is seen in the expression which , back
of the fierce light that seems to blaxo
from his orbs , calls ipon the white
man to give him back his own. With
fclie other hand he holds the bridle of
iiis mettlesome , finely tempered horse ,

JAPS INVADE FISHERIES.
t Is Asserted That They Vrc Debpoil
ins 'he "Western Waters.
The Japanese are grent iish eaters , : i
large share of their constant diol
-being dried libh , according to the Ta-
.coma Ledger. Recently the Russian
.government shut down on the Japanese
fishermen off the coast of Siberia , ap-
.pin-cutty in retaliation for the express
ed antipathy of the Japanese to every
thing Russian. The Japs had to se
cure lish from elsewhere at once ami
swarmed into Kritish Columbia. Un
less they i-an be dislodged neither Can
ada 3iQi'AuWica will get one cent oul
ISTiriT the milKons of "chum" salmoii
.bred in our waters and now 1 icing fed
as a daily diet to the Japanese in
Japan. The .Japs put up temporary
and cheap quarters during the sum-
toier and fill them up with Japanese
fishermen and mechanics. Japs catcli
the fish , for which' they pay nothing
Japs salt them down.
Japs make boxes of Jap-sawn lum
ber and nail them together with .Jap
anese nails. Japs load the boxes on
Japanese steamers and the banking
exchange is done through Japanese
banks solely. When the season is eve :
ihe Japs disappear , not leaving one
cent for all the libh they have taken
away , for even their food supplies nn
Japanese , too. just a are their net *
and their clothing. Thus in two year *
a promising industry H nipped com
pletely and of an offering ofOU ! ton ?
this season we June not been able tc
eell a single salmon. If we were tc
allow them to come over here and dc
the same with wheat and Hour , grow
ing the grain on irovernment lands as
ihey are catching their lish in govern
ment witters , the Hour business , too ,
tvould soon be nipped off in the s ani
way. As Canada gets no more tlur
America now out of the business th ?
upper countries should unite in th
Suppression of foreign exploitation ol
their fisheries , just as America has al
ready done. The Japs would not be
allowed to carry on their business in
Alaskan waters , and Canada has no
Interest in fostering u trade so value
less to herself.
The Paper Hangers.
There is paste upon the piano ,
There are scraps upon the iloor.
! Dhere are bootprints on the mantel ,
There are scars upon the door ;
There are books piled in the hallway ,
There are pictures on the stair ,
There are clothes .piled in the nuntry
And confusion's everywhere.
We are living in the parlor ,
Where we breakfast , dine and sup ,
For we've got the paper hangers
And we're all torn up.
All the beds are standing crossrvise ,
And the chairs are huddled round ;
-Dressere , trunks and center tables
Strew'd till nobbing can be found.
Ladders , planks and rolls of paper
Strung promiscuously about
Can't get out if once you're in there ,
Oan't get in if once you are out.

Prowns , and sometimes kicks the pup
When we've pot the paper hangers
And we're all torn up.

REVOLUTION IN COLUAIB1A
MOVEMENT UNDER WAY TO GAIN
INDEPENDENCE.
PANAMA , Columbia , Nov. 4. Tin
independence of the isthmus was pro-
c.aimed at 6 p. m. A large and en
thusiastic crowd of all political parties
assembled and marched to the head
quarters of the government truops
where Generals Tovar and Amaya
were imprisoned in the name of the
republic of Panama. The enthusiasm
was immense and at least 3,000 of the
men in the gathering were armed.
The battalion of the Columbian
troops at fanama favors the move
ment , which is also thought to meet
with the approval of at least two of
the government transports now here.
COLON , Columbia , Nov. 4 There
Is a persistent rumor here that during
the last few days a movement has been
Dn foot looking to the independence of
the isthmus.
The government is not alarmed and
apparently no steps have been taken
to quell any anticipated disturbance.
This seeming inactivity on the part
of the government is looked upon as
showing confidence in the report !
made by General Obaldiathe governor
of the department of Panama , who
has issued a manifesto thanking all
political parties for the adhesion
promised to the government when it
was reported that a revolutionary
force was marching in the vicinity of
Penomeme. In this manifesto the
governor also thanked the inhabitants
the department of Panama for the
Sincere proofs of their patriotism , and
xpressed the hope that they will
maintain the same line of conduct
and thus save the government the
painful duty of adopting stringent ,
measures.
The United States gunboat Nash
ville arrived here late last evening.
The streets of Colon presented some
what the same appearance as during
he days of the late revolution , be
eral hundred troops who arrived from
Savamlia on the Columbian gunboat
Caitagena with their wives , are squat
ted on the street corners. The bat-
alien c ns sts of four hundred and
ifty soldiers well supplied with am
munition under the command of Gen
eral Tovar. General Tovar left for
Panama today , but the troops still re
main here.
Advises Government to Keep Watch
WASHINGTON , Nov. 4. The commissioner -
missioner of Indian allairs has receiv
ed telegrams from Senator Warren of
Wyoming and A ent Brennan of the
Pine Ridge agency , giving further de
tails concerning the recent fatal en
counter between Wyoming officials
and Indians.
Mr. Brennan says the Indians an
gaged were from Pine Ridge , and
therefore were Sioux. The party , ac
cording to his statement , was small
and was traveling through Wyoming
on a permit. He also says that Sheriff
Wilson and one of the posse were re
ported killed and that twenty Indians
also were killed. Mr Brennan attri
butes the fight to a charge made by
the officers for the purpose of arrest-
ng the Indians. He added that he
would go to New Castle , the county
seat of Weston county , in which the
fight took place , to investigate.
Senator Warren said in his telegram
that six Indians were killed , six
wounded and about the same number
captured. He confirms the report of
the death or the sheriff. There were ,
ic says , two fights , one on Friday or
Saturday and the other on Sunday.
The under sheriff is still in pursuit of
the Indians and the latter have been
reinforced. "It looks squally , " says
the senator in his message , "and J
ear further trouble. " He suggests a
close watch on the Indians at the
agencies for fear of soil ! more serious
onsequences.

tions fail. '
The correspondent at Shanghai of

battle with the Indians Sunday after
noon near the scene of the first fight
ten Indians were killed and eleven
captured. None of the posse was
tilled in the second fight. There were
about seventy-five yioux in the band
Df Indians. It is estimated that five
hundred men are scouring the country
in search of the remaining Indians.
CHEYENNE , Wyo. , Nov. 3. Sheriff
Miller and three of his deputies are
reported killed , one deputy wounded
and three Indians killed and several
wounded in a fight which took place
Saturday afternoon near the Bad Land' '
creek , forty miles west of Lusk , Wyo. ,
between a roving band of Crow In
dians who had been slaughtering game
and resisted arrest. It is not known
whether an ambuscade was laid for
the officers on Lightning creek , the
scene of the battle , or whether the
Indians resisted arrest , but meagre
details indicate the former. Several
posses have started after the Indians
and Governor Chatterton may order
the militia.
The Indians who participated in the
battle near Cheyenne river are now
hurrying toward the Bad Lands , near
Pine Ridge agency , and once there
they will be practically secure from
capture. It is believed they have sent
couriers ahead to the agency and it is
possible there may be ajgeneral upris
ing. The information in the govern
or's hands says the Indians are Sioux ,
from Pine Ridge agency , but another
report says that they are Crows from
the Montana reservation.

IN HANDS OF THE REBELS
TROOPS OF COLOMBIA'AGREE TO
LEAVE ISTHMUS.
COLON , Colombia , Kov. 6. After
a conlerence Colonel Torres com
mander of the Colombian troops here
BeeiiiK that the situation was hope
less , agreed to embark his soldiers
on the royal mail steamer Orineco ,
Bailing for Cartagena at G p. m. A
special train from Panama will
bring Geneial Tovar who will also
sail on the Orinoco.
The people of Colon are now jubi-
flant. The flag of-the new republic
flies from the railway stations at
Gatun and Bohlo Suldado , near
Colon. Troops from Panama will
doubtless take charge of Gdon to
morrow.
Part of the troops have already em-
iarked on the Orinoco and the am
munition has been taken aboard.
The municipal council of Colon
has just advised the provisional gov
ernment at Panama of its adherence
to the new republic.
PANAMA , Colombia , Nov. 6.
General Tovar and his staff have at
last been convinced of the uselessness
of their resistance to the provisional
government , and have accepted the
terms offered by the junta. They
embarked for Colon on an express
train and will leave immediately oq
the royal mail steamer Orinoco for
Cartagena. The arrangement to thi3
end was made through the elforts of
Commander Hubbard of the United
States gunboat Nashville , Superin
tendent Shaler and Assistant Super
intendent Prescott of the Panama
raijroad , who guarantee that both
parties will fuln'l the agreement.
There is great rejoicing because
the stability of the republic now
seems assured. The fact that troops
were already moving toward the line
probably decided General Tovar and
his staff to accept the terms of the
junta.
COLON , Nov. G. It was arranged
that the government troops should
withdraw to the outskirts of the
town and they did so during the
night. Colonel Torres marched the
troops to the center of the town ,
which caused a landing of American
blue jackets.
The correspondent of the Associ
ated press has had an interview witu
Commander Ilubbard of the Nash
ville , who said he had orders to re-
embark the American force if the
government troops would return tn
their camp on Monkey Hill , where
they passed the night. Colonel
Torres , however , refused to return
to Monkey Hill , which is situated
about a mile from Colon , saying the
place was too unhcalthful for the sol
diers and that it was necessary foi
them to remain in Colon.
Commander Ilubbard does not
think the Colombian troops will venture - .
ture to attack the blue jackets , whq
are barricaded behind bales of cotton
in front of the bank and the railroad
building.
The commander of the _ Na hvlhj ]
has distributed about fifty lilies to
private citizens , who , with the blue
jackets , are guarding the barricades.
Early in the day Colonel Torres said
he was determined to give battle to
any troops coming to Colon froirj
Panama.
Purely Uncle Sam's Affair.
LONDON , Nov. 6. The Britisl ,
official attitude towards the events
at Panama is that it is entirely the
United States' iffair. This , with
the consequent comparative apathy ,
appears tu be shared in all dip'omat- '
ic quarters in London. Except io
the unlikely possibility of some out
side interference , no action is con
templated by the British or so far as
the Associated press is able to ascer-
tan at the various embassies here , bj
any other government. Upon re
quest of the British diplomatic 01
consular representatives in the dis
turbed region a war vessel would be
sent to protect the rights of subjects
of Great Britain but such a request
would not be encouraged as Downing
street is of the opinion that the forcq
the United States is sending to the
isthmus is more than sufficient tq
maintain the safety of the foreign re.
sidents.
The request of tne recognition oJ
Panama's independence entirely de <
pends on the action of the United
States. If Washington commuoi ,
cates to the poweis that it intends
to recognize the independence ol
Panama , it is not likely that there
will be the slightest objection on the
part of Great Britain while , accord
ing to the views of the dipomata
here , the other European powers wilj
quickly follow suit.
Accused of Poisoning Wife.
CHICAGO , Nov. 6. A dispatch tq
the Tribune from Charleston , 111. ,
says : William J. Bonn , son of W.
K. Honn , a wealthy bankerhas been
arrested under an indictment ac
cusing him of having poisoned his
wife. His bond was fixed at S7OOQ
and his trial set for next week. The
( young man's troubles began last Jan
uary , when he was brought to this
tity by a constable and the father ol
Miss Sala Galbraith and forced intq
p midnight marriage. The wife died
( suddenly.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 5. A tele-
? ram was received % t the state de
partment from the New York man-
igement of the Panama Baiiway com
pany stating that the property of that
company was in danger and asking foi
protection. In addition a message
came from the cable company saying
in effect that there was no telegraphic
communications for points in Colom
bia outside of Panama and Colon by
way of the isthmus. It is assumed
that the revolutionists have cut the
inland communications so as o pre
vent the government at Bogota from
obtaining knowledge as to what is hap
peuingonthe isthmus , and it is ex
pected that the effect will be to em-
harass the Colombian government ib
its military movements.
There are at the stations named on
the Atlantic coast approximately th
following numbers of marines : Nor
folk 20U , League island 3 > 0 , New York
300 , Washington 300 , Boston 200 , Ports
mouth , N. H. , 100 , Annapolis 250.
In case of an emergency 8 0 or more
of these could be spared for service or
the isthmus and should a greater
emergency arise arrangements neces
sarily would be completed making
practically the entire force available
for duty in Panama , ,

tion on the railroad.
The city of Colon was mystiGed to

Panama of the overthrow of the

Colon , however , is exceedingly
quiet. The government troops
which arrived here on board the war
ship Cartgena from Savanilla yester
day evening are still here arjd theii
presence at Colon has caused some
difficulties in certain quarters. J.
