COLON , Columbia , Sept. 21. It Is officially
announced hero that Dr. Hafacl Nunez , presi
dent of tlio republic ot Colombia , died on
TU'bilay morning of gastric fever.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 21. Mr. Julio Pens-
Ifo , charge d'affaires of the Colombian lega
tion , says that President Nunez was gener
ally regarded as the ablest and most patri
otic statesman of the republic , Ills resl-
deiic ? In the United States as a consular o ni
ce r 3 ears ago hud gl\cn him a close ac
quaintance with the affairs if this govern
ment , and he had used his Influence to model
his own government utter that of the United
States. Tli ? charge d'affaires does not an
ticipate trouble aver the succession , as Nunez
during the gnater part of his third term
has exercised more ot a moral Influence over
the 11 flu Ira of the country than an executive
direction. On account ot 111 health he was
unable to endure the ell tin t of the capital ,
Ilogota , and has remained at his home In lit
Cabreronol near Cartagena , while the vice
pr'sldent , Miguel Antonio Care , has been the
real executive head of the government. Mr.
I'eiiKlfo thinks that the vice president will
remain In control to the end or the six year
term for which President Nunez was elected
In 1S02.
Close watch will be Itcpt of Colombian
nffalra by the diplomatic and naval repre
sentatives of the United States owing to the
frequency of resolutions In Central Am rlca.
It Is hoped that the new administration will
prove stable , but should there be trouble
threatened , a naval vessel will bo dispatched
to Colombia.

department has Just patsed on a case In
which a peculiar frauQ Is being practised
Some time ago a resident of Tenncss e wrote
to the attorney general stating that last Ma >
he saw an advertisement In a. Chicago paper
offering for Ealo ICO acres of land In Govc
county , Kan. Th real estate agent lived at
Lathrop , Mo. , and through him the land
was purchased by the man from Tennessee.
It was then found that the government owned
( he land , although the Lathrop agent had
furnished a complete tled nnd abstract of
title. Since then the wune tract has been
advertised by the tame agent. It Is held
by the Interior department that as the lights
of the government are In no way affected ,
there Is nothing for the Interior depart
ment to do In the piemls s , H Is sug
gest d , hovve\er , that the attention of the
proper authorities be called lo the fraud with
a view of saving Innocent parties who do
not take the trouble to make a thorough In
vestigation ot land titles.

LEXINGTON. Ky , Sept. 21. Desha Brcck-
Inrldgo had a sensational altercation with
James Duane Livingston , formerly ol New
York City , In the Phoenix hotel this evening.
Livingston was standing at the news stand
reading when Brccklnrldgo came In and
bought a package of cigarettes. Livingston
spoke to Desha and extended his hand , say
ing "Its all over now , we ought to be
friends ; shake hands. "
Brecklnrldge , with an angry look on bis
face , replied : "No ; you one-horse scoundrel ,
I will not Like your hand. You profess to
be a. man's friend nnd then stab him In the
back. "
Livingston rtplled to this by sajlng that
ho had done nothing of the kind , when Breck-
'nrldgo called him a d n liar. Then Liv
ingston struck at Desha and knocked his
glasses oft , following this up with a blow on
the neck. Desha reached lor his hip pocket ,
and Instantly flashed In the air tlio long ,
bright blade ot a big dirk. Both men were us
pale as death. Livingston , In a moment of
desperation , grabbed at the glittering blade
which Biecklnrldgo had aimed at his heart.
The knife went between Iho second nnd
third fingers ot Livingston's right hand , cut
ting the third flnger to the bone
Di'slia Brecklnrldge trenied to desire no
more blood nnd gave Livingston two strong
kicks. The hotel clerks nnd B veral by-
stand-rs rushed in and seized Brecklnrldge ,
nnd nt the EUIIIO Instant , Lane , n strong
Brccklnrldge man , run up and said ho would
take a hand in helping Desha. Two witnesses
say Lnne also flourished a big knife , but Line
den'es ' this. Livingston was hurried Into the
washroom and ( hen taken to a physician's ,
where his hand was dressed.
Just before the trouble occurred Desha and
Lan. ; met Judge George II. Klnkead on Main
street. Klnkead made several speeches dur
ing the campaign denouncing Colonel Breck
lnrldge In the most bcathing terms. Desha
DrccUnrlilgo said to Judge Klnkcid that th >
election was over and he wanted to tell him
ho was a d n liar The Judge repll d that
ho was unarmed and did not want to have
any difficulty on the open str > els Desha
told him to go arm himself and he would
meet him anjwhere , or at any time , lie re
peated this several times. Then Lane , who
Is a comparative stranger In L-'xington , hav
ing recently come here from Mount Sterling ,
said , addressing the judge
"This is Judge Klnkead , Is If When yon
said decent people would not entertain Colon -
on l Brcckinrldgp , you lied. My bister enter
tained him In AVcodford county , and I say lo
jou that you are a G d d d s .
Judge Klnkead again said he wanted no
trouble on the streets and that lie was not
armed. Lane threw his coat back and said
ho was not armed cither , and then repeated
tlio offensive language. The Judge walked
away ,
Later , In speaking of this affair , Lane said :
"Ye , I called him a. God d d s ,
and I will light him any way lie wants
to , and If some of his friends want to tak"1
It up I will fight them , too. "
J. Duane Livingston Is a man of about 30
years and Is the. financial agent of J. Ken
nedy Ted , owner of the Kentucky Union
railroad , Ho was n strong Owrns man and
worked night and day for the victorious can
didate. While ho saye he b lloved he saved
himself from a fatal stab by grabbing
Debln's knife , ho thinks bo will have a sore
band for some time.
JudRO Klnkead Is n grandson of Isaac
Shelby , the first governor of Kentucky and
Is n flist cousin of John T. Shelby , Coloiul
Brccklnrldge's law partner , who sltippcd At
torney Johnson In the face during tlte famoiiR

> ears of age. He lias always been conslderei
a nan of the highest phjslcal courage , and
everybody expects more blood will be shed
before this trouble Is over.

OGDENSBUrtG. N Y. , Sept. 21. United
States Senator Illgglns delivered a notable
address today befor ? a large audience at the
Ogdensburg fair. Ho said :
"The American farmer Is subject to direct
and sharp competition In the American
market with the farmer cf Canada , who , with
wag s 32 per cent lower than are paid by
the farmers of New York , and with land
more fertile In quality and 36 per cent
cheaper In price than land In New YorK ,
can grow his product at a cost of 44 per cent
' ss than the farmer of New York. Hverj
cent of duty now removed Is a present from
the treasury of the United States to the
Canadian farmer of that much money on al
ho may sell In'the American market "
This , lie explained , was not Hue of whaal

"Canada cannot thrive divorced from tin
