PANAMA, Nov. 22.-Oeneral Victor Sala
s.ir, formerly governor of (he Department
of Pnnama, and who during the Inat reso
lution wax supreme commander of the Co
lombian forces on the Isthmus, haa been
icq nested to give his opinion concerning
the present trend of afTalra on the Isthmus,
and telegraphs as followa from Palmyra,
in the Department of Cauca:
PALMYRA. Nov. 22. I consider the move
rrcnt unworthy apd unpatriotic. I deplore
It 3ieply, because In each Panamanian I aee
a friend and brother, and because for that
bind I would wish only days of glory and
welfare. The road It follows lead to sui
cide, and even now It la not too late to re

and the whole of Colombia will rive like

line Sot I.Ike I'nlted States.
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.

AUSTRO-HUNGARY HAS TRUST

Cartel Will Probably Not Be
Oil
Controlled.
i
VIENNA. 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. PRAISE FOR RUSSIAN TROOPS

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 .. . . .

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

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 22.-Two persons

Injured late lust night In a wreck near
Gwynedd, a short distance from this city
on the Philadelphia & Reading railroad.
The dead are C. L. Custer, aged 67 years,
a passenger, who lived in this city, and
Harry Roderick of Doylestown, Pa., fore
man of the wrecked train. While the In
juries to some of the passengers are seri

The railroad officials believe the accident
was due to a deliberate attempt at train
wrecking. The train was a local one from
Doylestown and had Just passed the sta

the track and went over an embankment,
followed by one car. An investigation, the
railroad officials say, showed that spikes
had been drawn from a plate connecting

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. This proposition, it is said.
provides for the arbitration of the grlev
ances of the unions cn the system that
struck. In sympathy with the trainmen
What action the directors tttok on this de
mand Is not known, as their answer will
not be given to the union until tomorrow
morning. A basis of settlement of all the
other differences In the controversy. It
Is said, has been agreed upon and unless
the company refuses to accede to this new
demand of the union, an amicable adjust
ment of the whole dispute should be
reached not Inter than tomorrow night.
There was a marked Increase in the
patronage today on the four lines being
operated by the company under police pro
tection. 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

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.
