trio Una, two mall cars were started on
one of the through cable routes, Cottage
Grove avenue, whloh la dlreet , parallel
of Wentworth avenue, but la half a mile
distant to the east The mall cara made
the entire trip from the outskirts of the
oltr to the buslneae center and return with
out the slightest Interference.
Considerable Interest attached to the
movement of the mall cara, for the reason
that any application to a federal tribunal
would most probably be to prevent the
mall service being Interrupted by acts of
Violence. The state courts, on the other
hand, would be appealed to If, leaving out
ny question of the malls, an Injunction
ahould be sought solely to prevent inter
ference with nonunion traction employes
endeavoring to re-establish passenger
service.
Two ears on Wentwoith avenue left tho
Seventy-ninth street barns at 1:40 a, m., in
charge of Police Captain George Vf. Bhlp

car. Captain Bhtppey's plan wu said to
be to carry on tha cara any persons ar
rested for committing' violent acta, thus
making the alleged disturbers equally with
tha police the target for brlcka and atones
meant for the nonunion trains crews.
Cry Oat Aajalaet Harrison.'
Precautionary measures by the police to
day were apparently much more complete
than during the teamsters' strike some
montha ago, when the clty'a t raffle was
mora than once brought almost to a stand
still. By 9:15 a. ra. tha cara under command
of Captain Snippy had passed Forty-third
street, running slowly between denae lines
of strikers and their sympathisers, who
tried to keep pace with the car and escort
of patrol wagons. No atones were thrown,
but cat calls for police and trainmen were
heard. There were crlea of "Carter Harri
son will never dare face the South Bide
tigs I n." The presence of police on the cars,
evidently with tha approval of Mayor Har
rison, appeared to greatly excite the anger
of the crowda. Ten cara In' all started on
the trip toward tha center of tba city
wjthtn a half hour, all on tha Wentworth
avenue eleetrlo lines. Nonunion crews
manned tha cara and each car after tha
first was In charge of a lieutenant or eer
geant and twelve policemen.
Though there waa much excitement and
the etreeta wore thronged with people, lit
tle gftual trouble waa experienced by tha
leading cars on Wentworth avenue line
during tho trip to tha business dlatrlct.
The cars started on their return trip almost
on schedule time. Four teamsters were
arrested at Intervals along the way for
attempting to block the way and were put
aboard the cars. Assistant Chief of Police
Schuettler accompanied the leading car
eVawn town and back.

Power, bat Woald lead
Them Home.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Nov. 13. A spe
cial to the Ttmea from Valdosta, Ga.,
says: There ia a movement on foot here
to bring back from Liberia the Irwin
county negroea who last February emi
grated to that country. Tha predicament
of these negroes waa described In a let
ter from the United States minister resi
dent, and consul general at Monrovia, to
Secretary of tSate Hay at Washington,
and transmitted by him to Congressman
Brantley of Georgia. The report of Mr.
Lyons of Libarla to Mr. Hay is aa fol
lows: I have the honor to Inform you that in
the month of February of the present year
a party of fifty-six colored persons con
sisting of males, . females and children,
left lrwln county, Georgia, aa emigrants
for Monrovlii, Liberia, under the leader
ship of one D. J. Scott.
Upon their arrival the Llberlan govern
mei did Its bent to axslst them In over
coming the rigor of the climate and In
supplying them with food until the land
which hud been given them oould produce
something for their sustenance.
Twenty Die from Itxnosnre.
Since then, however, twenty of the num
ber have died at Cheesemanburg, tha pi ice
assigned them by tho government. For
the lack of homes they were all put in a
house of two rooms, where they died one
after the other from want of food and
medicine.
Thirty-six of this number still remain
In a sickly nnd destitute condition. Six
teen are still at Cheesemanburg and
twenty-two have returned to Monrovia.
These are ragged, starving and homeless.
Five of them will return to the United
States by the first English steamer to
Liverpool, on or about October 1, 1JS. their
transportation having been arranged for
by friends In the United States.
There being no provision for relief in
casea of this kind, we had to help them
from our private purse. We soon, how
ever, discovered that we could not give
much charity to twenty-two persons for
any length of time, for food la scarce and
the prices are enormous.
Owing, your excellency, to the agitation
now going on In the United States on
the subject of negro emigration to Liberia
by irresponsible persons whose literature
haa wide circulation among the Innocent
and poorer classes of negroes, the ques
tion becomes one of gravity for the consid
eration of both governments.

Care for Fasts trass Large
Organisation.
LOUISVILLE, Colo., Nov. IX-As a re
sult of the concession of an eight-hour day
by the operators all of the striking miners
In the northern coal fields will return to
work Monday morning. Thta waa practi
cally determined upon at a conference
here thla afternoon between the operators
and a committee representing all ' of the
anions In the district.
The operators agreed to grant an eight
hour day pending the settlement of the
strike In the southern coal fields, on the
condition that, if that strike terminated
without granting of an eight-hour day by
the southern operators the men should be
put back to work on a nine-hour basis In
tho northern coal fields. The committee of
the men received thla proposition with
favor and will submit It for a referendum
vote tomorrow, when It la believed that
It will be accepted by the unions.
The eight-hour concession resulted from
several conferences held In Denver between
officers of tha Northern Coal and Coke
company and John F. Ream of Ohio, a
member of the national council of the
United Mine Workers of America and
National Organiser Chris Evans of Ohio,
representing John Mitchell. Mr. Ream said
that the men would agree to a 10 per cent
reduction in wages if given the eight
hour day.

DENVER, Nov, 13. Colorado union min
ers are not very much concerned over the
outcome of the tesolulion before the Ameri

to Appropriate $1,000 to assist the miners
In ' carrying on the strike. The following
telegram was sent to the convention now
In session at Boston this afternoon:

TRINIDAD, Colo., Nov. 13. -For the first
time since the strike of the coal miners in
this district was declared on Monday,-J. T.
Kebler, general manager of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company, is said to have
made advances to effect a settlement. To
day, it is autorltatlvely stated, requested
the striking miners to appoint a. committee
of Ave men to confer with him In his office
In Trinidad. This proposition was rejected
by the men, who say the United Mine
Workers of America must be recognised
before any settlement can be made. The
proposition ia said to have been made In
both StarKvllIe and Englevlllc, two Colo
rado Fuel and Iron company camps which
have been closed down since the strike was
declared.
A number of miners were taken to Prl
mero thla morning in a caboose of a Colo
rado at Wyoming train. Several armed
guards went with tha miners and they
were taken to the mine under guard.
Whether they were strikers who returned
to work or, men sent herw from other points
It Is Impossible to determine. The company
Officials claim they were returning strikers,
while union officials state that they were
shipped In from other points. Many rumors
were afloat today. One to the effect that
the operators had acceeded to all the de
mands of the men, with tho exception of
a recognition of the union, gained wide
credence and caused a sensation on the
streets this evening. It proved- to be in
correct and waa promptly denied by both
operatora and union officials. No aettle
ment la in eight at this time.

BOSTiN, Nov. 13. There waa some pros
pect when ths delegates to the convention
of the American Federation of Labor as
sembled today that an early adjournment
would be taken until tomorrow. Thla waa
beoauae the various committees have had
little opportunity to consider the resolu
tions which were referred to them. Since

opportunity to consider the matters given
over to them.

SEXTON NOT YET IN OMAHA
Will Take Roarke with lllia ta Sloas
City, It la Thought, If
He Goea,
A report that M. H. Sexton, president of
the Western league, was In town yester
day caused a flurry among local base
ball fans. The report waa without founda
tion and Mr. Sexton, presumably. Is at his
home In Rock Island.
Mr. 8exton has been In correspondence
with William Rourke relative to the matter
pf a franchise at Sioux City, but the rumor
that Sexton waa about to visit thla city and
take Rourke with him on a tour of In
spection and Investigation at Sioux City
Is denied. Mr. Rourke expects that If
Sexton does visit Sioux City he will ask
Rourke to accompany him, but up to this
time Sexton haa given no Intimation of
his Intentions along that line.
Mr. Rourke Is sanguine over the outlook
for base ball next year. The main ques
tion now before the Western league Is the
disposition of the muddle at Kansas City
and Milwaukee. It Is announced that the
Western league cares very little whether
Milwaukee Is awarded to the Western
league or not, but that great Interest Is
manifested over the retention of Kansas
City where the Western lea rue has prior
and vested rights which it desires to main
tain. The annual business session of the West
ern league will te held In January and at
that time the towns to be given franchises
and the schedule will be given considera
tion, It Is expected that the election of a
president to succeed Sexton also will be a
matter of considerable Importance. If the
Western league Is to be compelled y fight
for every Inch or ground. It Is argued that
a strong man should be placed at the
helm to direct Its affairs. '

At today's cabinet meeting practically
tho only subject under discussion was the
Panama situation. The whole Panama
question was discussed briefly, particular
attention being devoted to prospective de
velopments In congress,. Both the president'
and members of tho cabinet have taken up
the matter tilth the senate and 1he house
with a view to a reconciliation of any diffi
culties thut may exist and to the securing
of harmonious "action, If possible, on the
isthmian canal question. It can be stated
authoritatively that the situation as It
now presents Itself Is reasonably satisfac
tory to the president and hla advisers.
England Mast Be Shown.
LONDON, Nov. 13. From Inquiries made
by representatives of the Associated Press
It Is believed that President ..Roosevelt's
reception of Dunau-Varlllu, minister, of tho
Republic of Panama will not affect the
attitude of Oreat Britain towards Panama.
While the British government Is quite wil
ling to leave the arrangements of affairs
Ot the Isthmus to the United States It does
not desire to commit Itself to recognizing
Panama's Independence until assured that
Is has been established. A special dlxpatch
from Washington says the surprise is ex
pressed in administration circles that at
the fact that Great Britain has not yet
recognised the Independence of Panama
was shown to the Foreign office and dieted
a ctatement as follows:
Great l?rltIn has taken slinllnr action to
France. This does not Imply the recogni
tion of Panama's Independence, but merely
recognises Its tempomry government.
PARIS, Nov. 11 President Roosevelt's
reception of Mr. Bunau-Varilla as minister
of the Republic of Panama is regarded
here as giving complete assurance of the
permanenoy of the new republic. It prob
ably will hasten the remaining formal
ities of the French recognition.
HAVANA, Nov. 13. It has been decided
by the cabinet that no recognition will be
given by the Cuban government to tha
new Republic of Panama until that re
public haa been recognised by some of
the other Latin-American governmenta.
Events at Colon.
COLON, i Nov. 13. Cuttera from the
American warshlpa here were dispatched
this morning to atop the German ateamer
Markomannia, which was seen two mllea
off, towing a launch towarda tha harbor.
It was thought that Markomannia was
coming from a Colombian port, but it
appears that It had been chartered at
Bocas del Toro, to bring the alcalde of that
port to Colon. There was a big scare at
Bocas del Toro on tho reoelpt of news by
way of Port Llmon, Costa Rica, that the
Colombian government was sending E,000
troops to retake the port, which had
recently declared Its allegiance to the new
republlo and tha alcalde left on Markoman
nia for Colon for tha purpose of obtaining
arms and ammunition with which to equip
6u0 volunteers ta resist the ex peeved Co
lombian attack. The alcalde, however, has
returned to Bocas del Toro to allay the
fears of the populaco and to Rive assur
ance that the landing of Colombian troops
there will not be permitted.
