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.

"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.

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.

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. . .Father comes 'home out of humor , 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.

Ten Indians Killed. LUSK , Wyo. , Nov. 3. In a second battle with the Indians Sunday after noon near the scene of the first fight ten Indians were killed and eleven captured.

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. Bad Blood in Manhattan.

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. UNDER REBEL RULE DEVOLUTION ON THE ISTHMUS HARD TO HANDLE. COLON ! S IN COMMOTION COLOMBIAN GUNBOAT ATTACKS CITY OF PANAMA. UNITED STATES PROTESTS imerlcon Property Interest * Declared In Danger and More Stienuons Ac tion Will Be Taken. 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 , , COLON , Colombia , Nov. 5.

The government troops which ar | rived yesterday on the Colombian | cruiser Cartagena refuse to return ty Savanilla or acknowledge the author ity of the provisional government o. Panama. All endeavors in this di rection have so far been successful. A conference is now being held at the prefecture and trouble is expected momentarily. The excitement is ( increasing and the stores are being closed' It is reported that the commande- of the United States gunboat Nash ville , Commander Ilubbard , this morning notified the perfect of Colon and the Panama railroad officials that no troops from either end of the isthmus would be allowed transporta tion on the railroad. The city of Colon was mystiGed to day when it received the news from Panama of the overthrow of the national government there aud the proclamation of the independence ol the isthmus yesterday e ening. 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. Aringo , Thomas Arias and Frederico Boyd constitute the provisional gov ernment at Panama. Governor Obaldia , Geueral Tovar and a few others who were arrested by the re volutionists atPinama yesterday are still in custody , according to the ad- rices received here. Message Will Be Short.
