Blnre 1902, when Admiral Casey refused to permit transportation of Colombian troops on the I'anama railroad. General Salazar has entertained a bitter dislike for the people of the United States. At that time he cabled, through the Associated Press, a sensational protest to the world against the action of Admiral Casey. Gen eral Salazar la moat Influential among- the younger element of the Colombians. He Is courageous and energetic, but of a Quixotic nature, and probably believes that his statement that an rmy of 100.000 Is being organized will stun the people of the new republic. El Duende In Its last night's edition ays: "The Panamanians alone do not fear the Colombians, but they fear them less now that they are assured of the aid of their Yankee brothers." It Is believed here that any organisation f a big army by Colombia will result In the downfall of President Marroquln's gov ernment, brought about by the liberals, or combination of the nationalists.

Colombian Press Critical. WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The press of Colombia continues to severely criticise and denounce the American government for Its action In isthmian matters and the recogni tion of the Republic of Panama. This Is snnwn in a dispatch received at the State I department late lust night from Minister Beaupre at Bogota. President Roosevelt, the American congress and the American people are targets of violent denunciations. The minister's dispatches make no ref erence as to the time when he Intends to leavo Bogota on tho leave of absenoe granted liim by the State department. No uneaslnesa Is felt by the department for the minister's personal safety. Hon. Henry L. Wilson, the United States J nlnister to Chill. In a dispatch to the State ns" department reports that the action of the l ituea mates In the Panama matter is re ceiving the support of the press and the leading people of that country. They look with favor on the acts of the United States and expressed the opinion that It has acted rightly In Isthmian affairs. The people In Chill are In favor of the construction of the canal, the minister says. Mr, Boyd left this city today, presumably for New York, where Minister Varilla has preceded him. Colombian Delegates Arrive. Representatives from the state of Bolivar who cam to the United States via Galves ton arrived at Washington today. They are Domlnico Jlmlnes and Antonio R. Blanco, '.'hey are accompanied by their secretary, Julio C. Zanlga. The party went at once to call on Dr. Herran. the charge of the, Colmblan legation, with whom they spent' the greater portion of the evening. When the commissioners lert their native country all was obscurity and confusion there regarding the condition of affairs on the Isthmus, except that It was known that a revolution had taken place. They came to Washington to get a clear under standing or the situation. Events on the luthmus, however, followed each other with such rapidity that the commissioners were fully Informed of the state of affairs Dofore they reached Washington. The commissioners have no diplomatic func tion whatsoever, said Dr. Herran, and what report they take hack to their own country will be made to the governor of Bolivar otily. 8hould the latter desire, he will transmit the Information obtained to Bo gota. The duration of the stay of the min isters In Washington Is not known. Admiral Cughlan has telegraphed the Navy department the departure of General Reyes from Colon by steamer to one of the gulf ports. Isthmian Troops Parade. PANAMA. Nov. 22.

Nov. 22,-Mueh Indignation is expressed here over the steadily increasing price of oiL Since the formation of the Austro-Hungarlan petroleum cartel prices have been advanced 60 per cent, with tho prospect that they will go still higher as soon aa the present stocks becon.e ex hausted. The advance inflicts the greatest hardship on the poorer classes, especially on the thouaands of tailors and dress makers who work in their own homes. The local authorities of the several districts have taken the matter up and are urging the city council to use every means to break up the oil monopoly. There Is, how ever; not the slightest prospect that these efforts will be successful. The cartel has completed its organisation, the only mat ter remaining still unsettled relating to tne export trade. Both the Standard Oil company and the Deutsche bank are con tlnulng their efforts to come to an agree ment with the cartel regarding the Ger man marK'. hot a strong section of the Austrian refiners wish the cartel to remain Independent of these parties. CANADIAN STOCKMEN ANGRY Say Thsjr Will Not Exhibit at St. Louis Ynlesj Conditions Are Chanced. OTTAWA. Nov. 22. It is understood that the directors of the St. Louis exposition are unwilling to meet representatives of the live stock interests of Canada until the latter decide whether or not they will exhibit at St. Louis. This attitude Is hardly likely to bring about any change of front on the part of the breeders and stockmen of Canada. In fact, the likelihood Is that they will issue an ultimatum refusing to send stock to St Louis unless there is a decided modi fication of the regulations under which Canadian animals are admitted Into the United States, as well as of the condition upon which the prize lists are baaed. Breed era in Canada freely express the opinion that those engaged In similar pursuits In the United States are afraid of Canadian competition. This fear, they say, is based upon the success which live stock exhibits achieved at Philadelphia, Chicago and Buf falo.

CSCLE SAMUEL'S DRUMMER Assistant Secretary Peirre Kates Report on American Consulate. BUSINESS TRAINING FIRST NECESSITY Second Qualification of n Consul Should Be Knowledge of Language f Country He Goes To Same Changes Becommended. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. (Special. -The American consul Is the bag-man of the government. The only difference between the traveling salesman for a commercial house and the American commercial agent or consul Is that the one travels from place to place representing a distinctive line of goods, while the consul Is stationed per manently at one point and represents all the goods manufactured In his country and sold to foreign countries. Third Assistant Secretary of State Herbert H. D. Pelrce, who recently returned to his desk in the State department after a tour of Inspec tion of the consuls and consulates of the United States -in England, Holland. Bel gium, France and Germany, brings with him a most interesting lot of Information acquired on his trip which cannot fail to be of permanent value, not only to the consular service, but to representatives of business Interests in other countries. Sec retary Pelrce swooped down upon the con suls In the countries mentioned without any knowledge on the part of the consuls that he had left his desk at Washington. There wss no time for the consul to clean bouse. He saw the American represents live in his Working clothes and he saw the daily routine life of those who represent abroad the commercial interests of the American nation. As a consequence of these unexpected visits Mr. Pelrce has been able to recommend a number of changes in the consular service. Business Men for Consuls; It Is Interesting in this connection to know that the consular service of the Uni tea States in 1901 cost us $147,000. In 1902 the cost was 196,000, and for the fiscal year ending June SO. the cost was 126,000. which makes the consular service almoBt self sustaining. The reduction In the coat o the service according to Secretary Pelrce was partly due to Increases In officlul fees and partly to economy on the part of the State department. Mr. Pelrce. however, be neves mai wniie economy is a necessary factor of good government, he Is of the ovlnlon that too much econmy would serf ously Impair the usefulness of the con sular service. "The consul and the com merclal agent," said Mr. Pelrce. In dis cussing some of the recommendations of his report, "Is not expected to be trained in the -school of diplomacy. He Is the bag man of the government in a wide sense. He Is the paid agent of the government to represent the business Interests of our country In the world's markets. The consul or commercial agent should therefore be, first of all, a keen bualness man. Secondly, he should not only have a splendid business educa uon, out should also be able to speak the language of the country to which he la accredited. - In this ..commercial age, wherein competition is most acute and the leading nations of the world are all en deavoring to push their several manufac tures. It becomes absolutely neoessary for us as a nation to bring the consular ser vice to the highest degree of efficiency, The conservative methods practiced a dec- ade ago have been relegated to the rear, Germany and France are quite as alert aa we are. In some particulars those countries have adopted methods slml lar to our own Insofar as the consular ser vice Is concerned. Consular reports are pub lished in the other countries very much after the manner of our own. In conse quence of this the foreign manufacturer knows what we are doing quite as well aa we know whut Is being done by our for sign rivals to secure trade." Not So Dead as All That. Judge Klnkald and a number of other members of the Nebraska delegation were inspecting the statuary in Statuary hall In the capltol shortly after the opening of the present session of congress. They were commenting upon the varied assort ment of bronze and marble statues erected oy me several states to the memory of their departed statesmen, citizens and sol diers. One of the members of the delega tion, turning to Judge Klnkald, said: "How wuuiu you use to De on one of those pedestals, Judge?" The Judge, with a smile, replied: "I belong to a pretty dead poay at the present time, but even a mem. ber of the aforesaid dead body I am ptr- fAnllv wllllno .. . . . . j ,u ii wuere i am rather man be a eubfect of Idle comment bv the thouaands of sightseers who dally visit the capltol. The seed trade of the country is await. Ing with much interest the appointment or tne nouse committee on agriculture Immediately thereafter it is proposed an active campaign shall be Inaugurated against the congressional free seed distri bution. Unfortunately for themselves the seedsmen are divided as to the best meth ods to be employed In defeating this an proprlatlon. UnUl recent years the seeds men were almost a unit In opposing the oiBinouuon. in those days the contra waa let In bulk and all the seedsmen who were not directly or Indirectly lnterfrt in rne contract fought the aDDronrlM, and the contractor. Matters are somewhat ainerent now, and the change in the situa Uon te wnat has demoralised the seed trade. The aeeds are now purchased by the department direct from the seedsmen and it is intimated by dissatisfied and dis gruntled dealers that the seeds are pur chased largely from dealers who w.r. t. merly most active In their opposition to the distribution, but who are now only lukewarm, to say the most. Novelties la tho Seed Uae. Another method of disarming hoatlliiv haa been employed by the Department of Agriculture. Under the name of "novel ties and specialties" the department has! oeen supplying each senator and repre sentative with 600 packages containing five packets each of selected varieties of ueed which are supposed to be "new and novel." j!.acn pacxage is accompanied by a circular giving a shoft history of the varieties and directing attention to the grower de veloping them and the seed firm furnishing them to the department. The circular re quests a report from the recipient of the weds as to the results obtained. This i. conaldered an exceptionally valuable ad vertising medium ror the firms furnishing the seed, as it Is in effect the sending of sample packages from private Arms under government frank and with the tacit endorsement of the Department of Agri culture. What Is now agitating the seed trade in this connection is that several members of the committee of the Whole sale Seedsmen's league, which was select-d last summer to devise waya and means of Ctuluue4 oa fclath.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP IS FAVORED Mass Meeting; Held to Conalder Means for Helping- Strikers Says City Should Own Means of Transportation. CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-The strike on the Chicago City Railway la still unsettled. Peace negotiations which have been In progress for nearly a week, were contlned today to the consideration by the board of directors of the road, to a proposition submitted to tho company last night by the strikers.

There were few acta of violence, however, and the day passed off quietly, only three arrests being made for inter ference with the operation of the cars. No attempt was made to open any of the other branches of the system, but unless a settlement of the strike la reached to morrow the State street line and possibly a crosstown line will be opened for traffic Tuesday under the same conditions as ex ist on the four branches now under opera tion. While the negotiations looking to peace were In progress this afternoon a monster mass meeting wss held at Tattersall's to plan assistance for the strikers. Nearly every union In Chicago was represented and it is estimated that fully 1,000 people were present at the meeting. The men formed in procession In different sections of the city and marched in bodies to tho hall In Sixteenth, street where the meet ing was held. Several ' sections of tho parade crossed the lines of the Chicago City Railway company which were In operation, but there were no disturbances or acts of violence and the paradera reached their destination without mishap.

IS ANXIOUS TO OUIT Senate Desires to Bring the Extra Session t Close This Week. MEMBERS OF HOUSE ARE ' UNCERTAIN Expected that Arrangements Will Be Made in & Few Days. WARM SPEECHES EXPECTED FROM SOME When Cuban Bill Is Beported Opponents Will Speak First. WAIT TO HEAR FROM SENATOR MORGAN Believed that Veteran Champion of Interocennlc Canal Will Have Something; Interesting; to Say About Panama Route. WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 -The senate will begin the week In a state of uncertainty as to whether a th,,,! adjournment of the extra session will be secured during tho week or the regular daily sessions con tinued. A majority of the senators ate anxious to bring the session to a close nnd to this end an agreement has been prac tically entered for a vote Decemlwr 16 on the Cuban reciprocity bill. The acquies cence of the house' of representatives In the program, however, hus not been secured and until the two houses reach- an agree ment no definite announcement can bs mude. leading senators on the whole are rather confident that an adjournment will be brought about and say it will be im possible to hold a quorum of either body after Thanksgiving. Tho present understanding is that a prop osition to fix a day for adjournment will be made by the senate on Monday or Tues day, whereupon it will lie formally con veyed to the house This will form a basis for negotiation, as thus far there has been no conference between the mem bers of the two houses on the adjournment question. The understanding in the senate in that tho day for taking a vote on the Cuban bill will be fixed without the ad journment Of the extra session. The bill will then be reported by Senator Cullom, chairman of the committee on foreign re lations, and he -jtIU ask that a date be sot for the vote, whereupon December 16 will be set If the present plan Is carried out Senators Wnnt to Go Home. When the republican senators secure this agreement they will be comparatively In different as to whether tho senate remains In session or not. They think It prefer able that the extra session should come to a close, as many senators desire to visit their homes before the regular session be gins, but if an adjournment is not had there will be a general agreement among senators which will tender it unnecessary for a majority to remain In Washington. If any considerable number of senators desire to meet for the purpose of making and listening to speeches on the Cuban bill they will be allowed that prlv.'Iege with the understanding that no other business , shall be taken up. If there are no speeches to be made the senate will take frequent adjournments for three days lI a time, as ' permitted by the constitution, without ref erence to what the house may do. There are a number of senators who desire to discuss the Cuban bill, but 'it Is probable most of them will postpone their speeches until, after the beginning : of the regular session, December 7. ' After being reported tomorrow the Cuban bill will lie on the table for a day unless there Is unanimous consent that its con slderation shall begin Immediately. When It Is taken up Senator Cullom will make a brief speech In explanation of Its merits. There probatly will be no addresses by friends of the bill until toward the end of the discussion. In the meantime the Col orado, Louisiana, Texas t.nd Florida sen ators and probably some others will make speeches intended to show that the enact ment of the bill Into law will be Injurious to the sugar interests of the United States and contrary to the best public, policy. In addition to receiving the report on the Cuban bill, the senate probably will make a reassignment of senators to committees tomorrow. The committee's announcement is likely to be made the oocasion for a speech by Senator Morgan, which Is an ticipated with considerable. Interest. In the makeup of the committees the Alabama senator will be displaced as chairman of the committee on isthmian canals. He has been chairman of that committee since Its organization and has been Identified with canal legislation ever since he en tered the senate. It la understood that he will review to some extent his connection with this Important work ai)d that In doing so he will sharply criticise those who fall to 'agree with him in advooaay mt Un Nicaragua route. HCUSE IS NOW RESTING Having; Passed th Cuban Reciprocity Bill it Has Nothing; to Do. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. The house will meet Tuesday. Having disposed of the Cuban bill. It has no business before It and unless an agreement is effected by which the called session Is to be brought to an early close, an adjournment probably will be .taken until Friday and then ad ad journment until Monday or Tuesday. It ia suggested that It Is extremely doubt ful If there will be quorum Tuesday and, that. If the point of no quorum should be raised, it would be Impossible to act on a concurrent resolution providing for an adjournment, even should one be brought over from the senate. Some of the house leaders have expressed their views In op position to an adjournment before the Cuban bill shall have been disposed of, but what might be tho result of a conferrence be tween the leaders of the senate and bouse on this proposition remains to be seen. It is possible that the speaker may be ready to announce the committee assignments by the end of the week. If this Is dona the house will be fully organized and prepared at the opening of the regular session next month to proceed to business. Members of both sides of the house are mindful ot the conventions which are to be held next year and the desire will be general to rush the work os fast as possible In order that the regular session may be brought to a close as early as possible.
