Deadlock In Negotiations.
On the return trip the trains encountered
at Forty-first afreet "new obstructions In
the way of a plugged cable slot, while the
manhole, cleared of bricks, stones and
rubbish on the downward run, were found
to have been filled attain. Meanwhile
peace negotiation were making but little
headway. The strikers' 'executive commit
tee spent a greater portion of the day In
the offices of Attorneys Darrow and Pren
tiss, while representatives of the railway
company conferred In the offices of Attor
ney nilsa. Rumors that both sides were
approaching a deadlock were given more
credence aa the day wore on and the an
ticipated Joint conference was delayed.
' A large crowd followed the Btate Street
cars southward from the business center.
An averpge of twenty minutes was re
quired to each block, owing to the obstacles
placed !n the way, and It was feared that
night would overtake the trains before
they could reach the barns again. v
This afternoon, at the request of PresU
dent Hamilton of the railway company,
Mayor Harrison sent out a call to the al
dermanlc mediation committee to meet him
In his office. The City railway, officials In
formed the mayor that they had a com
munication to make to him and the alder
men. A report became current that the
difficulty preventing the return of the men
to work waa that while the company was
willing to make a verbal agreement to take
the strikers back without discrimination,
there was a halt when it came to putting
the clause In writing. -

PANAMA .HELD FOR LOANS
Foreign Bondholder Insist It Should
Bbaro ColombVi Burden.
RECALL EARLIER BREAK WITH SPAIN
Insist That the Attltnde It Took Then
Makes It Hesnonalble Sow for
the Money Colombia
Borrowed.
LONDON, Nov. 24.-Forrlgn Secretary
Lansdowne has requested the council of
the foreign bondholders to supply further
details of the Colombian loan. When drawn
up these will be forwarded to Ambassador
Durand and presented to Washington to
urge the rights of British bondholders In
connection with the Republic" of Panama.
From the council the . Associated Press
secured the following:
In regard to the reported statement of the
Panama commissioners that Panama de
clines responsibility for the Colombian debt
on the ground that when the greater part
of the money waa borrowed Panama was
not Included in Colombia, the tact appears
t be as follows:
Panama declaied Its Independence of
Spain November 28. 1S21. and In the solemn
declaration of the revolutionary Junta Jt Is
stated that the territory of the Isthmus be
longed to the state of Colombia, to the con-
rreea whereof It should, In due course, send
Is deputy. The war with Spain continued
for some time thereafter, and In 1822 Co
lombia Issued an external loan of $10,000,000,
the greater part of which waa to be devoted
to prosecuting the war or Inoepenoence.
in 1824 Colombia Issued a further loan of
$2.1.750.000 for the same purpose. It would
be surprising if Panama attempted to re
pudiate responsibility for the money which
assisted It to become part of a free sta.te.
A lengthy ststement will be forwarded to
the British embassy at Washington.

Old Correspondence Comes to Light.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 24. The senate in

correspondence submitted by President
Polk In 1847 In return to the treaty of 18W
between the United States and New Granada-.
It la said that these papers have
never been published. The consist of

charge of the United States at Bogota, and
Manuel M. Mallerlnoj secret ry c-f f of elgn

by the. latter official pointing out the ad
vantage of the treaty to the United Btates
In view of the attitude of Great Britain,
which, he declares, unveils a preconceived
and Ions meditated Intention of grasping
the most valuable mercantile spots of
America, putting the competition of the
United States out of the question and de
claring her will ss a law In all matters con
cernlng the consumption of foreign com
rrodltles. In the communication to Secretary of
State Buchanan, Mr. Bldlaok discusses the
control of the Isthmus, In which he says
that Secretary Mallerlno had said that If
New Granada ceded to the United States
the right-of-way across the Isthmus, he
presumed the United States would guar
antee to New Granada the isthmus, or at
least as much of it as was required for the
construction of a canal or a railroad upon
the most favorable route.
Mr. Bldlack In transmitting a draft of the
treaty to Secretary Buchanan has the fol
lowing to say regarding the transit across
the Isthmus:
"With the regard of the right to transit
and free passage over the Isthmus, which
appeared to me to be becoming of more and
more Importance every day, I have only to
remark that I have procured the largest
liberty and the very best terms that could
be obtained.
"I could not obtain these terms without
consenting to guarantee the Integrity and
neutrality of the territory, and. In fact. It
seems to me upon reflee'lon that in order to
preserve the rights and privileges thus
ceded It would be both the policy, the In
terest and the duty of the United SUtei
thus to enter aa obligation to protect
them." The guaranty extends only to the
Isthmus, and anything like a general alli
ance is carefully avoided.

In regard to oil shipments which did not

peared that Attorney General Hall would

with an understanding that the case was
to test the gravity provisions of the new

bearing on shipments In original package.
On account of this withdrawal from the
stilt of the attorney general, the motion !o
dismiss the case was made.
Attorneys Herner and Stewart, for the
defense, strenuously opposed the dismissal
of the case, and the release of their client

only on the gravity provlsione of the law,
and claimed the right of their clients to
raise any point In the case when they went
to trial. That the Inter-state commerce
phase of the law was as vital to their case
aa any other part of It, and that they
should not be deprived of any of their
rights In the case on account of the failure

FREE FOOD LEAGUE MEETS
Duka of Devonshire Presides Over Assem
b ag of Chamberlain's Opponents.
DECLARES AGAINST NEW FISCAL POLICY
While (laratlnnlna? Honesty of For
mer Colonial Wrrretar), speaker
. Says He Has Presented n
l lear-l tit Issne.
LONDON, Nov. 24. The duke of Devon
shire presided anil a the principal
speaker at a great demonstration In
In Queen's hall hero tonight, under the
auspices of the Free Fond league. It was
the duke's llrst public svx-eeh since hie
resignation as lord president of the coun
cil, and the first really important meeting
of the Free Foodcrs as an offset to the
propogandu of the Tariff Reform league.
Th? hall was pnrked, and the prominent
personngrs were given a tremendous re
ception. Among those present were the
duchess of Devonshire. Lord Balfour of
Burleigh, Charles T. Ritchie. Sir Michael
Hlcks-Ilench. ' Lord Unschen. Winston
Spencer Churchill. Lord Hugh Cecil. Lord
Robert Cecil. Ixrnl Lytton, and a number
of members of the house.
The duko of Devonshire outlined the ob
ject of the cnmpnlgn of the Free Food
league, which, he explained, was formed a
few months before the government's decla
ration ot policy, and therefore could not
have been formed for hostility to the gov
ernment. There might be differences of
opinion concerning the extent to which re
taliation might legitimately go. Some
members of the league were not altogether
opposed to some form of protection, but
they were all united and prepared to re
sist to the utmost the Imposition of any
protective taxation on food or protective
duties generally. Ho himself claimed the
right lo opflose any of the nature of a re
turn to protection. A prolonged cheering
followed this statement of the duke.
Hiss and Cheer Chamberlain's Xante.
Continuing, the speaker stated that while
the fiscal policy was not yet a party ques
tion, there was nothing which the advo
cates of the scheme, which cmannted from
the brain of a single eminent statesman,
would like better than n general election
which would turn on this question alone.
This reference to Joseph Chamberlain was
greeted with mingled cheers and hisses.
The duke said the meeting was one of
Unionists, desiring to urge on the govern
ment the danger of taking such a course
and the expediency of resisting such a
course. It was not tho policy of the union
ists. The public liked a clear Issue and
such an Issue had been placed before them
by Mr. Chamberlain, who left the gov
ernment In order that he might be free.
Cheers and hisses again followed this men
tion of Mr. Chamberlnln.
The duke bf Devonshire urged that the
policy of the government be more clearly
defined. At present It was Indefinite. The
speaker Bald that If he made any special
explanation regarding his resignation It
would be from his plnco in Parliament.
He had tendered his resignation as he
could not, in the House of Lords, express
confidence In the policy of the government,
concerning which he had grave misgivings
and Insufficient information.
Regarding the speeches of Premier Bal
four, the uuke of Devonshire said they
did not indicate the cbjective policy of
the government. Hid he been assured that
a moderate use of the proposed power of
retaliation would be used by the premier
he might still be a member of the govern
ment. . .
Retaliation Mnkes Matters "Worse.
The duke said ho trusted the government
would t,ever enter Into a policy of rets na
tion under the delusion that it waa a good
thing. It would only make matters worse
If, In addition to the hostile ttrlffs against
tlfemselves, they built up waUs which
would prohibit and restrict the lrrportallon
of goods, which for their own advantage
they took trom other nations. lie was op
posed to the taxation of food because he
thought that such taxation was the key
note of the entire nbllcy to which he took
exception. Should the price of food be
raised compensation must be given .to the
worklngmen. He recognised the great serv
ices of Joseph Chamberlain, but even the
great services of the past should not blind
any one to a true consideration ot the re
sult and significance of the former colonial
secretary's fiscal scheme.
In his budget calculation Mr. Chamber
Iain had not considered the Increased cost
of living for worklngmen. The duke of
Devonshire said he was prepared to prove
that Mr. Chamberlain's Glasgow budget
would entail a great loss to the consumer,
while the worklngmon'a expenses would be
increased 10 per cent. He believed there
could be no greater fallacy than that the
prohibition or restriction of Imports from
abroad would Increase the profitable em
ployment of capital and labor at home. The
country was prospering cvrywhere, yet
Mr. Chamberlain asserted that only stagna
tion existed.
The former lord president of the council
said ho could take no part In a policy
founded on Inversions of fact. Alluding to
Mr. Chamberlain's charge, that he (the
duke of Devonshire) "waa a drag on the
wheels of progress," the speaker said he
was content to act as a drag when the
engine was running down grade against all
;'nal. Lord Gonthtn moved and Lord
George Hamilton . seconded the following
resolution, which wus passed by an over
whelming vote:
This meeting, while prepared to consider
In a friendly spirit any measure the env.
ernment might submit to parliament In spe
cial rain tor miiisuiuiK me resuiis or hos
tile tarlffx, Is of the opinion that strenuous
opposition should be offered to any fiscal
policy Involving the taxation of food and
the establishment of a general preferential
or protective system.

Mr. Nixon was asked about his previous

My Dear Nixon: 1 bog to ackuc wledge
the receipt of your letter of September 4.
!!"J. My agreement was thnt u;wm the
consummation of the proposed plan of reor
ganisation I would advance the amount
of any culls the syndicate managers might
make. At that time It waa contemplated
that, with the cn-operittlon of all Interests
the p'an would tie speedily carried through.
I never Intended or agreed to Increase my
Interests In the syndicate or In the prop
erties except on the proposed plan of reor
ganisation being successfully consummated.
In the meantime and In view of the op
position now existing 1 see no reason why
1 should modify the agreement 1 made.
Aa to llethlrhem fomnan.
Mr. Nixon tcstllled that he wrote h!s let
ter of June 3. lHKt. to Mr. Schwab because
if Mr. Schwab's agreement to take up tho

evidence. j
The Bcthlch in company, witness testl-
fled, had paid to the shipbuilding company
of the $1,3.10,000 in cash working capital
agreed upor "not one cent."
The Bethlehem company, undr thr agree-
ment that the shipbuilding companies
should purchase materials from the Beth
lehem company, had flxd prices for forg-
lngs and other materials so high that some
of the constituent companlea had objected,
and had been given permission by Mr.
Nixon to place contracts elsewhere. Mr.
Schwab was the dominant factor In the ;
Bethlehem Steel company, Mr. Nixon
stated, after long questioning.
The agreement of July 2. I'.Htf. between
Nixon, Dresser and Schwab, providing that
Schwab should loan to Nixon and Dresser

000,000 In bonds, was Introduced in evldencu '

had always understood that Schwab, and
not Morgan & Co., owned the Bethlehem ,
stock.

Receipts from Bchwab, by attorney, and
J. P. Morgan Co., acknowledging tho de

capital for the company and a copy of the
memorandum of committments, showing
the arrangements for the division of the
shipbuilding securities allowed as profits to
the Trust Company of the Republic, pro
moter John W. Young and others.
A resolution of the shipbuilding directors
adopted In January, 1903, stating that legal
steps should be taken to recover shipbuild
ing securities to the amount of $760,000 In
bonds and $3,000,000 stock from the trust
company for the rightful owner, the Ship
building company, was read, but Mr. Nixon
could not say that any legal action had

with. ' ." ' -' i
After devoting some time to a discussion

and the reasonableness of the prices paid
for them the hearing waa adjourned until
Tuesday, December B.
.Mr. Nixon today gave out the following
letter from Joseph II. Hoadley, under data
f Philadelphia, November 1, 1903:
Regarding my understanding with Mr.
Charles W. f'chwab as to the plan or re
organisation proposed for the shipbuilding
company at the time you came to me In
distress I havo tn say that Inasmuch as
I um at the present time ill, it will be
Impossible tor me to lend you or Mr.
Schwab any assistance in untangling thU
unfortunate affair. I sent out copies of
the .Mirrespomlence had between Mr.
Schwab and myself, which took place at
the time I was endeavoring to arrive at
an amicable understanding with him as to
whether he would pay his assessment on
the exchnnge of stock he told me he held.
You understand that all of my propositions
to Mr. Schwab were based on the condition
that Mr. Schwab would take charge of the
financial oeratlon ot the deal, and even
now If you could disentangle this matter
and allow your stockholders a right to go
on with the reorganisation by paying a
small assessment, I would have -my asso
ciates Join you and furnish the $1,000,000
cash that you would require under your
original plan of reorganisation, always as
suming, of course, that Mr. Sheldon will
stsy in the saddle and attend to the finan
cial end of the new corporation. I would
suggest that you arrange to see him or
have someone else see him regarding this
matter, as I wlsn to assist you all that Is
possible In your earnest efforts to rehabili
tate this property at the least loss to the
security holders.
: Your criticism of me In Influencing you
to approve of the organization Is unjust, as
I did It to vour best Interests and It "was
after Mr. Schwab agreed to all he did and
with the best favor possible that I brought
you the letter which you signed es re
quested bv me and which that night I sent
to Mr. Schwab's house, and. aa stated.
It waa after Mr. Schwab had agreed to
comply with my request In order to protect
me from loss In the case of advances which
had been made and which were to be made
to you at that time. Under any other con
sideration I could not In justice to myself
have anything to do with the transaction
whatever.
FRANK KEEFE IS SENTENCED

Mack Augered. ,
LARAMIE, Wyo Nov. 24. tSpeclal.)
At noon today Judge Carpenter sentenced
Frank J. Keefe to four years tn the peni
tentiary for manslaughter. Keefe killed
Policemen Baxter and King at Rawlins
last Bprlng, his case being brought to this
county on a change of venue, as it was
held he could not get a fair trial In Carbon
county.
Judge Carpenter delivered a ten-minute
talk In rendering his decision and Keefe
responded. He said he thought he should
have been acquitted. He admitted killing
Baxter an'l King, but said he was on his
own property and the killing was done
In the heat of paaslon. He believed the
jury should have followed the court's In
structions and found him not guilty. He
gave notice that In all probability he will
appeal the cuie to the supreme court, his
motion for a new trial being today over
ruled by Judge Carpenter.
RAWLINS, Wyo., Nov. $4.-Feeling here
over the verdict and sentence In the Keefe
case Is very strong and It may be difficult
to land Keefe In the penitentiary. There la
said to be talk of lynching. The killing of
Baxter and King was comddered by msny
to be a cold-blooded murder. Keefe had
ruled the roost In Rawlins during his
drunken carousals and the people are de
termined to make an example of him.
