The two depart ments named and also that of Bolivar are the, most prosperous In the whole Colom bian territory. They conttlbute the greater portion of the revenues for the federal treasury, that of Antloqula alone paying about one-third of the entire amount. The Antloqulans are known as the Yankees of Colombia and are progressive and business like people. For a long time there has been dissatisfaction and discontent among the people of these departments over the man agement of affairs by the politicians at Bogota, by whom they say their rights have been disregarded and their Interests treated Indifferently. A disposition toward secession has manifested Itself among them and an open revolt at this time would not be rurprls'ng.

NEW TORK, Nov. 18.-Cabllng from Bo gota, capital of Colombia, under date tf November 13, the Herald's correspondent says that Oeneral Rafael Reyes left Honda today for Barranqullla., He has been con mltlng with the government regarding .the necessity of dividing his responsibilities with the Colombian army and solving the great actual problem of the presidency by designating Nicolas Esquena, liberal, for the presidency, and Joaquin F. Vales, con servative, for the vice presidency. The municipal council of Bogota has of fered $500,000 to head a national patriotic subscriptions Great military movements are going on and the most supreme movements in Colombia's history are coning. The ptench steamer due at Colon tomorrow is expected to bring important news from Barranqtiilla respecting the situation' there. A strict censorship has been exercised over all telegrams from that port, and It Is believed there Is trouble of some sort which Colombia desires to keep secret. Important events are also anticipated between Venea uela and ' Colombia. It is reported here that President Castro may take advantage of the present situation to extend Venes uela's territory beyond the Orinoco. Gaatemala la Submissive. In respense to a. requsst for the attitude of the government of Guatemala toward the new Republlo of Panama, President Manuel Estrada Cabrera has Cabled the Herald as follows: , In Guatemala the recognition of the Re- Stiu le of Panama ss a anion by the Vnlted stes Is regarded as a matter wholly within Its r'ghts. in Guatemala, Panama's sovereignty will be observed and recpected. Frederlco Boyd, a member of the com mission to this government from the' new Republic of Panama, who has just arrived from Colon, says that In a . few days constitutional convention Will meet to for mulate a system of government, whlchwlil follow closely the lines of the United State . conwtMntion. In discussing the revolution he was asked "What assurances, if any, did you have from the United States In reference to lta attitude toward the uprUing?" e knew, of course," be replied, "that American men-of-war would be there to we that the traffic across the Isthmus was not Interrupted by fighting, and we knew for that reason the landing of Colombian troops would not be permitted. Outside of that we had no assurances. What we did we did on our own responsibility and we defended upon the justice of our cause for recognition." "The question of possible annexation of the Isthmus to the United States had not yet been talked about?" . The sentiment of the peop'e of Panama Mr. Boyd answered. "Is to make the Isth mus what it seems destined to be from Its geographical position, and to place it where it can perform most efficiently Its mission lu the Interest of progress and civilisation sud become what It has been intended to be a link binding together the two Amer icas and a gateway between two worlds.

He prefaced his remarks by saying that whi'e. the debate had tajicn a wide range he regretted there bad been no dis cussion on the -other Side of the house on the Panama canal question, and in this Con nection he ssld the position of the admin istration was unassailable and would re dound' to the glory of the American peP-- Mr. Grosvenor said he would not per mit his vote 'on this question to be chal lenged as- nffectlng his attitude cn the dominant question of protection to Ameri can Industries. Spenklng of tariff revision, he said the republicans would revise the schedule when they got ready to do so nd In their own way without any aid from the opposite side of the house and hat the revision would' be with special reference to the upbuilding of American ndtistrlas without disturbing present con- itlons. N Answering a statement msde by Mr. Clark (Mo.) as to conditions existing when Mr. Cleveland went In as president Mr. Grosvenor said: Immediately urton the election of Cleve land there was practically a suppression of the Income of the revenues of the gov ernment Into the trensury of the United States. It was natural; It wss Inevitable. It would hsppen again If somebody other than Roosevelt should , be elected presi dent next year. Mr. Grosvenor Introduced a letter writ ten by v Charles , Foster, former secretary of the Veasury, under President Harri son, to Senator Foriker, dated October 28, 1803, In which lie States the condition of the treasury when Harrfson retired and Cleveland became president. He gave in detail facts In. connection with the prepara tion of bond plates in February, 1893, and of the steps taken after consulting, ns he said,' with Senators Sherman and Gorman nd Mr. Carlisle, Who was td become Mr. Cleveland's secreUry of the treasury. It Is stated in ' the letter that Mr. Foster turned over to Mr. Carlisle $103,000,000. Tilt Betweea Grosvenor Had Clark. While speaking of the prospects for the emocratlo party Mr. Clark (Mo.) asked If Mr. Grosvenor knew that of the nine teen men convicted In St. Louis,' sixteen of them were republicans. ' "I don't know," replied Mr. Grosvenor. If that is true it don't speak well for the administration of Justice." Loud ap plause followed on the republican side. Mr. Grosvenor, replying to the statement of Mr, Clark (Mo.) as to the probability of the democrats gaining control of the next congress and ejecting the next presi dent, said he would show what the result would be. The democrats, he said, would carry Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Ken tucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Mr. Suiter (N. T.) And you might add New York, Mr. Grosvenor I might edd Ohio, but I won't. ' (Laughter on the republican Id)' ' ' He said the democrats would And ,some fighting ground In Delaware and -Idaho, possibly. Maryland, he said, was In doubt and Montana was somewhat doubtful..

He then named the following as tho republican statea: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, West Vir ginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, with a total of 263 totes. Mr. O- osvenor said the Panama question would hot afford the eemocrats an Issue, nd lu this connection said there was no Agulnaldo down there, as all are on our side of the Isthmus. Mr. Grosvenor was frequently Interrupted with questions from members of the minority side. He spoke for more than an hour and was .oudly ap plauded on the republican side during and at the close of his remarks. Mr. Richardson (Ala.) said the benefit to the cotton Industry of the south, which will result from the ) per cent reduction In tho cotton schedule In the Cuban treaty was the reason for his support. Kordaey Attacks Wood's Record. Mr. Fordney (rep., Mich.), In speaking on the bill, said he wanted to criticise Major General Wood, for it had been proved that he had extracted "from those poor starving Cubans" $20,000, which he had paid to Thur bur to Influence legislation. Oh, what an action by a high official," co ntinued -Mr. Fordney. "He claimed that the Cubans were starving and then reached his long fingers Into the Cuban treasury and handed out $20,0u0 to tills " and here Mr. Fordney called names which might be considered libelous uttered anywhere, save In congress. Mr. Fordney said General Wood had tostlned before a senate commit tee thst he hart rearched the whole Island, nd that all the sugar that he could hnd that belonged to the trust was 3.2 tons. A few days later Mr. Havemyer testliled that the trust had 93,000 tons of sugar in Cuba. W ood only missed It by SO.000 tons. That is not much for a military officer. The average American soldier Is a, better marksman than that. 1 oouia Deal u my self." Mr. Fordney said the government ot Cuba had $4,000,000 In Its treasury and was better off than other governments if their debts were paid. The bill .was to benefit prosperous Cuba, at- the expense or tne farmers of the United States. Mr. Iud. (Mich.), speaking in, opposition to the bill, said tne adoption of the. Cuban measure would ieopardlse the home sugar Industry, would retard and . impede tne grewth of that Industry and lessen the rev enues by $lo,(jio,tjw. as a omin propo sition, he paid unreasonable chances were being taken to secure a net result of a few millions. He would yield to.no one in his loyalty to the president, but ne anew mat If he represented the Tenth district of Michigan he would oppose, it. Otker Vlchlaraai Men Talk Mr. MacMoran, rep. (Mich ), who also op posed the bill, said the republicans had joined hands with the democrats to pass this bill, which be characterise! as a tree trade measure tariff for revenue only. Mr. Fordney. rep., (Mich.) vigorously op posed the measure as an "infernal bill,' w hich he said would wipe out the sugar In dustry in Michigan. He reviewed the his tory of the beet sugar Industry and pointed out how. In his opinion. It would be In jured by the passage of the bill. Contlnu Ing he said: Someone has said It makes no difference whether you put this mtaure into law or not If that U so why was Mr. H. V. Atkins of Moston here nearly two years ...! ..nwtlves which considered II ie eo Why hss he been here as ls hss, sneak ing .iron ml this cspitnl ever slnie I lisvS been In congress who Afterward sdmlttml t tin f he wss fetid by the Ruttir trust and lied ahen berore the committee on ways end tnen'is when the genileme.ii from M'n itsotn (Mr. Tawney) nsked htm If he hud received any money from Hsveineyrr of the Sugar trust In any way, shape o' manner snd he said "no," but s few ilvs Ister when pis red on oath testified that be had reteived money from llavemeyer and also testified that he had received money dlrert from Major Geaersl Wood, governor of Havana. Mr. Fordney ssld that with the reduc tion on the tariff on sugar which would follow this bill, the trust at Its will would reduce the price of sugar to a point with which the beet sugar people could not compete and when they had them crushed raise the price. He also said that every pound of sugar from Cuba goes through tho refinery of either the American Sugar Refining company or the Arbuckles, one having a capacity of 40,000 barrels a day and the 20,000 barrels a dn.v', sufficient rapacity to supply all the sugar to all the people of this country for many years. Speaking ot beet sugar production he said: What they want Is to wipe this out. They have come Into the State of Michigan and have become Interested In ten of our twehty fnetortes, and what forf They were afraid of that competitor. It Is cheaper to go there and buy up those factories and sell them for scrap iron and get the benefit of the enormous sum that would come to them through this measure than it Is to fight this competition. Mr. Fordney presented figures showing the acreage of Michigan devoted to sugar beets, and spoke of the serious consequences which he said would follow the passnge of the bill. Mr. Bell, dem. (Cel.), followed In opposi tion to the bill, saying the farmers of Ms state wanted the same measure of protec tion now afforded them, and he urged that the beet sugar growers needed the protec tion. He said the republicans who feel so certain that California would be In the sure republican column should go' to that state and see how all the people of the state feel on the question. "When you pass that law you strike a blow at one of our greatest In dustries," he said. Oa Michigan Man la Mae. Mr. Gardnen rep. (Mich.), explained why he had changed his views and now favors the passage of the bill. In the first place conditions had changed In the Inst two years. He said the president of a beet sugar plant in his district favored the bill. In conclusion he said the measure was the policy of the president, of his cabinet, of a majority of the senate and house, and those who stood out against It stood out against a great majority. Mr. Burgess,-dem. (Tex.), characterised the bill as an outrage and said his party could not hope for success at the polls next year if it continued the policy of mak ing tariff agreement affecting the agri cultural and stock interests of the country. Reading an extract from an article written by Thomas B. Tteed, Mr.-Burgee said: This simply means, stripped of all verbi age and the bare facts stated, that $20,000 whs appropriated from the Cuban funds on vouchers issued by Leonard Wood, en dorsed bv the Wsr department of this ad ministration, reciting that they were the purpofe of influencing legislation lu this country. He continued: But to pursue the dirty and aurreptltlous methods (the. Vacts concerning which had to be dragged out ot Thurber's throat in a senate committee) Is disgraceful and ruin ous to any administration under the sun. No wonder poatoflice thievery obtains In the land when such acts as that can be notoriously done In open sunlight and no body comment upon such political thievery. Mr. Gillett (Maes'.) aald the treatment of Cuba by the treaty was the Ideal way to treat all dependencies Of the United Statea vbich are not? Integral parts of the United Ktates. ' Mr. Shafroth. dem, (Colo.), added his op position to tho bill, saying It was undemo oratic And unrepubllcon and fraught With danger to ' American ' Industries. He' said plans' had been prepared for beet sugar plants in his state which would have risen If this iegis'atlon had not been proposed. He said the measure was unfair and unjust to a growing Industry. ' Mr. Jones, rep. (Waah.), announced that he would vote for the bill. The house at t p. in. adjourned. ASK INCREASE OF PENSIONS Danes of 14 fl Petition Senators to In crease the Monthly stipends.

It Is possible owners of threshing ma chines will remain away from a limited territory near Ashtnn, Spink county, and all because of a condition of affairs which It Is safe to ear does not exist anywhere etre In the Unite! States. Threshers who have operated this fnll In the section referred to have had an unusutl and costly experience. First a threshing rig belonging to a man named Anderson, of North Dakota, wss blown up while In op eration on what Is known as the Townley farm, occupied by II. Welslne. The-cause of the explosion was for a time a deep mystery. Welslne then Induced the owner or a threshing rig which had been brought from Kansas to complete his threshing. The ma. chine had only been running a short time when It too, exploded. Several nf the crew had their hair and faces scorched, but, fortunately, no one was hurt. After IJie explos'on of the first machine. In searching for the cause It was dlecov ered that some scoundrel, for reasons known on'y to I Imself. had loaded the gnln sticks with matches, several hundred being found. As the danger was known to exist, Mr. Townley, Mr. Welxine and the owner of the seoond threshing machine agreed to divide the losses should any occur. After the second ..explosion the stacks were again searched and more matches were found. The three men are Out $350 each through the explosion of the sepa rator. Not the slightest clew can be se cured as to who placed the matches In the stacks or the motive which prompted It, but the fact thnt both machines were brought from Other states would Indicate that they were blown up by some local threshing machine owner through jealousy and to remove Competition. This Is the first knowledge that many persons had that threshing machines could be blown tip and destroyed by placing r-ntches In the stacks. If the perpetrator can be detect, d he will he prosecuted to the full extent of the law and given a term In the Bioux Falls penitentiary. Mitchell Greets evr Faster. MITCHELL, 8. D., Nov.
