Mild cases, not chronic, are often druggists. that 800 Colombian soldiers had embarked on the Colombian gunboats Cartagena and General Pinzon and sailed for the mouth of the Atrato river. The French captain's advice was dated Dec. ! and it is assumed that these were the troops that since have abandoned the projected campaign against Panama. The French captain further reported that the Governor of Bolivar had rescinded the decree closing Cartagena and Sa vanilla to trade with Colon. The reason he gives for his action is regarded as having an important bearing on the future relations between Colombia and Panama, because he bays that Bogota, has decreed that the dispute shall be settled diplomatically. This Is taken to mean that there will be no hostilities. It Is thought that this conclusion Is the result of General Reyes's instructions. San Salvador Papers' Approval. SAN SALVADOR, Republic of Salvador, Dec. 12, The newspapers here published editorials to-day approving the attitude of th- rjnttsd States in recognizing the new RepubMc of Panama and affirming that the United States in so doing and in preventing Colombia from reconquering the isthmus does not violate any treaty with Colombia. COMMANDER J. E. CRAIG ACCUSED OF CRUELTY Former Navy Fireman Sues Him for $25,000 Damages in the District of Columbia Courts. WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-In the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to-day Morgan Josephs, foremrly a fireman In the United States navy, filed a suit against Commander Joseph Edgar Craig, U. S. N., in which he asks damages in the sum of 125,000 for what he descriln-s as the "cruel, unwarranted and malicious treatment" he received at the hands of Commander Craig, who is now at the Norfolk navy yard. The declaration of Josephs alleges that he was Imprisoned under the Instructions of Commander Craig and kept for some time under oontlnement; that the imprisonment was unjustified and illegal and that bodily and mental suffering was the result. On these grounds, and because of the indignity to which he was subjected and the humiliation he says he experienced, Josephs wants damages. The several acts of Commander Craig mentioned are alleged to have been committed while Josephs was serving as a firstclass fireman aboard the United States ship Albany, when, it is stated, he was placed under arrest, tried by summary court-martial and imprisoned In the ship's brig, besides being sentenced to loss of pay. When released from the brig Josephs alleges that he refused to go to work at reduced pay ana was aain arrested, trtea oy summary court, convicted and imprisoned. This process, he alleges, was continued with scarcely any Intermission for nearly two years, beginning in the spring of 1901 and ending in December, 1H02. AMERICAN PRELATES IN THE PHILIPPINES The Vatican Expects Their Acts and Influence Will Make for Peace in the Church. ROME, Dee. 12. The Vatican expects that the actions of the American bishops sent to the Philippines, together with the work which Archbishop Guidl, the apostolic delegate for the Philippine islands, has already accomplished, will soon have the effect of definitely pacifying the natives and putting an end to th schism of "Bishop" Aglipay (the head of the new national church of the islands); also rendering It necessary to create new dioceses, partly owing to the distances in the Islands and partly because the reconstruction of the whole system of public worship is necessary. The Rev. Richard L. Burtsell, rector of St. Mary's Church, Roundout, N. Y., Is spoken of as likely to be one of the new American bishops in the Philippines. MORE LIGHT IN SAMOA.

PROCTOR DIES AT THE HATIONAt CAPITAL Civil-Service Commissioner and a Personal Friend of President Roosevelt. HIS DEATH WAS SUDDEN WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. John R. Proctor, of Kentucky, resident of the United States Civil-service Commission, and an intimate friend of President Roosevelt, died of angina pectoris at the Cosmos Club m this city to-day, aged flfty-nine years. He spent last evening in Baltimore, where he attended the annual meeting of the National Civil-service Reform Association and made an address, apparently being In the best of health. He was with some friends this morning at the Cosmos Club, of which he has been a prominent member for many years, but became suddenly ill about 10 o'clock. Civil-service Commissioner Cooley notified Mrs. Proctor and also the President, who expressed concern and kept In touch with the patient's condition. Shortly after 2 o'clock there was another attacx, the stricken man gasped twice and then death followed. The President and Mrs. Roosevelt were shocked at the news. They called personally at the clubhouse and spent considerable time at Mr. Proctor's bedside. When the President returned to the White House Mrs. Roosevelt remained with Mrs. Proctor. The remains were carried late this afternoon to the Proctor apartments in the Marlborough. Mr. Proctor has been a frequent visitor to the White House ever since Mr. Roosevelt' S accession to the presidency. The two met years ago in Kentucky, where Mr. Roosevelt was traveling, and the acquaintance then begun quickly ripened into close intimacy. Funeral arrangements are deferred pending the arrival of a son. Lieut. Andrew Morton Proctor, in charge of a torpedo boat now stationed at the Norfolk iiavv yard. Another son. John R. Proctor, jr.. is a lieutenant of artillery, lT. S. A. Both of the sons served in the SpanishAmerican war. Mr. Proctor was fifty-nine years old. He was born and brought up on a farm in Ki iitucky. He left th.- University of Pennsylvania to enlist in the Confederate army in 163. remaining In the service until the close of the war. He returned to Kentucky and pursued scientific studies, becoming State geologist. H was a member of the Jury of awards at the world's fair in Chicago ant was appointed by President C leveland a member of the Ctvtl tf Vict Commission ten years ago at the suggestion of Mr. Roosevelt. During his service as State geologist he refused. ven at the dictation of the members of the State Legislature, to remove competent assist mts for political reasons, and was sustained by all of the Governors under whom he served until 1893. when it is stated the then ; tremor wished him to make, appointments for personal and political reason?. Mr. Proctor resisted this and advised that the survey be closed rather than be used as a machine for advancing the political interests of any one by making the office.? spoils to be let out to partisan favorites. During Air Proctor's service on the commission the number of positions subject to the merit system Increased from 4o,W0 to 136.000. Mr. Proctor made various contributions to magazines, mostly on geological, economic and lnt rnational subjects. Much Damage at Lawrence bars;. Special to the lnd.anapulls Journal.

RUMORS NOT VERIFIED Bright Chat of the National Capital Dealing with Lite in Officedom. Special to th Indlanarolls Journal. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12,-Washington has been agop for the last few weeks over stories that will not down that there is a rupture, or that one is threatened, between President Roosevelt and Senator Mark A. Hanna. of Ohio. A conference held at the White House between the two men was arranged, the gossips had it, for the express purpose of enabling the President and Mr. Hanna to talk the matter over. Imaginative minds insisted that Senator Hanna was fighting General Wood with a view to forcing a break betw 1 d himself and the President and that his at titude of resistance to an alleged movement on the part of the administration to retire Perry Heath as secretary of the Republican national conimittee also had the same purpose. So far (the threatened break has not matriallxed. io doubt is expressed that Mr. Hanna is frit-ndly to Heath, not withstanding the prominence given the lat ter in the report of General Bristow on the postal scandal. One of the predominant characteristics of the Ohio senator is loyalty to his friends. He kept every promise made during the campaign that preceded the political battle "t Ki. 11.- stood by Kstt'S RKthDOPA wlu n that gentleman was accused of looting the Cuban treasury, and he insists that Heath shall not retire under Are just because the inference is conveyed in the Bristow report that the Salt Lake editor did not administer the affairs of his office In the Postoffice Department as they should have been ad ministered. Mr. Hanna sticks to his friends, and Rathbone and Heath are numbered among them. The fight of the Ohio senator against the confirmation of General Wood is based upon alleged persecution of Rathbone by Wood when the latter was military gov ernor of Cuba. Mr. Hanna's opposition to Wood is not due to any feeling of hostility to Presidtmt Roosevelt. Wood's rapid rise lu the army Is attributable to the friendship of the late Mr. McKinley, as well as that of the present occupant of the White House. McKinley had a high esteem for the well-known administrative ability of Wood. Roosevelt Is a personal friend of Wood, and recognizes, as did McKinley, the capabilities of the fighting general. Neither can it be said that Mr. Hanna is standing by Heath to embarrass the President. Hanna and Heath have served together on the national committee for several years. Hanna is not the only member of that organization that expresses confidence in Heath. The Ohio senator recognizes that if Heath retired before the reorganization of the committee the cry would be made that he had wilted under fire. As the lead of the national committee Mr. Hanna therefore insists, his friends say, that Mr. Heath shall serve out his term as secretary. There is another characteristic of the Ohio senator that should not be overlooked. He is candid to the point of bluntness; he does not beat around the bush. He has repeatedly stated that he Is not a candidates for the presidency. His friends take him at his word. It has been so repeatedly stated that Mr. Hanna is only awaiting a favorable opportunity to declare himself that he now refuses to discuss reports connecting his name with the nomination. As far as can be learned there is no basis for the reports of a break between the President and Mr. Hanna. On the surface, at If mat, their relations are cordial and friendly, and all attempts to find a foundation of facts for the numerous rumors have, so lar. proved unavailing. Who will succeed Mr. Hanna as chairman of the Republican national committee in the event of his retirement? The question is frequently asked in Washington and particularly whenever theiv is a report that Mr. Hanna will not again head the committee. For the last year or so the man most prominently mentioned as the probable successor of Mr. Hanna is forni. r Governor Murray Crane, of Massachusetts. Practical politicians, however, do not b -lieve that Crane would ever be tendered the place. While a fine executive and a man of means Mr. Crane is not cut out for the work of a national chairman. He is unobtrusive, timid, fearful of publicity and in reality Is not an aspirant for this or any Other office. Recently Senator Joseph B. Foraker has been mentioned as available timber. Foraker is an enthusiastic Roosev It man and would undoubtedly make a success in the position now held by Mr. Hanna. Among the practical men of politics the belief is expressed that Postmaster General Henry C. Payne would be the Ideal selection. Whil- Mr. Payne has not lost his tMte tOt politics it is doubtful if he will ever again take nn active part in a national campaign. His duties In the Cabimt are congenial and When he retires frum the department it is the expectation of his friends that he will return to Milwaukee and devote himself to his private business. XXX Two men well known In Indiana were conspicuous In this week's meeting of the Republican national committee. One ol them was Perry Heath, form, ry of Muncle, secretary of the committee, and the other Harry New, of Indianapolis, national committeeman from the State, and the prosIective aUC MIC of Mr. Heath. Hoth have a wide ac'iuaintanee among prominent leaders of the party. Heath is about to sever his connection with the organization so far as active work is concerned, while New. in the position of national secretary, to which it generally believed he will be elected next summer, will become more 1 active than ever before.

X X x "Weather Folklore and Local Weather Signs" is the title of an interesting volume just tatOtd at the United States Weather Bureau. President Edward B. Garriott is the author of the work. He asserts that "our first parents acquired weather wisdom by observing weather sequences and noting the foreshadowed effects of certain atmospheric conditions on objects animate and Inanimate." Professor Garriott quotes many learned men on the weather, including Bacon, Isaac Walton, Captain Hares and Howard. He also gives the local weather "saying" in various sections of the country. The Scriptures are called upon, also, to enlarge the work, as follows: "When it is evening, ye say It will be fair weather, for the sky is red; and in the morning it will be foul weather to-day, for the sky Is red and lowering." (.Matthew, xvi. 2, 3.) Here is another authority quoted by Professor Garriott: "When oxen or sheep collect together as if they were seeking shelter a storm may be expected. 'Apache Indians. The movements of the feathered tribe in changes of weather are described as follows: "If the cock goes crowing to bed. He'll certainly rise with a watery head." "if the wild geese gang out to sea, Good weather there will surely be." "When the peacock loudly bawls. Soon we'll have both raiu and squalls." "The sun sets weeping In the lowly west, pendiug weather changes only so far as their appearance is affected by existing atmospheric conditions. The sun reveals the secrets of the sky, Aud who dares to give the source of light the lie." ' ' The sun sets weeping In the lowly West, Witnessing storms to some, woe and unrest. " "When the stars begin to huddle The earth will soon become a puddle." "We may assume that the knowledge acquired by our rtrst parents," says Professor Garriott, "has communicated to their descendants and that it was handed down, with additions and amplifications, from generation to generation. We find in the earliest writings and in the Scriptures expressions of weather wisdom, many of which appear in collections of the popular weather sayings of to-day. Thus by assumption and deduction we know that man has ever employed inherited and acquired weather wisdom in the daily affairs of life. When flocks and herds have constituted his earthly possessions he has been prompted to lead his charges to places of safety when signs of impending storms appeared. As a navigator his interpretation of the signs of the air has, in innumerable instances, enabled him to adopt measures calculated to avert disaster to his frail craft. As an husbandman he has closely scanned the sky, the air and the earth for signs that would indicate the weather dt the coming day and season. "The wisdom thus acquired has been perpetuated in the .form of trite sayings or proverbs. Many of these sayings are polished gems of weather lore, others have lost their potency by transfer to foreign lands where dissimilar climatic conditions obtain and a large proportion have been born of fancy and superstition." XXX The magnitude of the agricultural Industry in the United Stales is strikingly shown in the recent report of Secretary Wilson. Here is what he has to say concerning farm production: "The height to which farm production has risen to supply the demands of domestic and foreign consumption should not be overlooked. Taking the range of recent years, there is the product of wheat, 600,OM.OUO to 750.0UO.OOO bushels, worth to the farmer from J35O.000.ÜU0 to $450.000.000. On more than 0,000,000 acres grow 2,000,000,000 to .m'.OOli.OOO bushels of corn, with a value which ran up to more than $1,000,000,000 on the farm in 1902. "The oats crop now reaches close to 1.000.000.000 bushels, with a value of $300.000.000; the barley crop overruns 100,000,000 bushels, worth f5O.0u0.OG0. and the rice crop in 1902 amounted to 3i0.000.000 pounds. "One of the most valuable of all farm crops is that of hay. aggregating about 50.000,000 to 60.000,000 tons, worth $450.000.000 to $500,000,000; ranging between 200,000.000 and ;,..mmmi.mi bushels is the pOtAti crop. "The acreage of the cotton crop has displayed a tendency to increase considerably during the last few years, and In 1908 was about 20.000,000 acres; the number of bales produced in recent years ranges from 10,000,000 to 11,000.000. while the value of the entire crop on the plantations has gone as hiKh as $511,000.000 for the crop of 1900, or, If the seed is included. $530.000.000. "Tobacco is another crop of expanding proportions, and the prospect now Is thnt within a few years ten figures will be required to represent the annual production. Only some of the principal farm products have been mentioned, bu:: these are sufficient to indicate, in conjunction with information concerning the less important products, that the value of all farm products not fed to live stock for 1903 considerably exceeded their value in the census crop year 1899. when it was $3,742.000.000. "Out of their continued abundance, during the past year, the farmers of the Nation have contributed food and raw materials for manufactures to hundreds of millions of people In foreign countries, besides sustaining SO.OOO.OOO at home. "A survey of half a century discovers the remarkable character of the movement in which the farmers of this country have become the chief purveyors. of the world. "In 1K51 our shipments of farm products were value.i at $14. while half a century later, in l!Jl. they amounted to 9Ub2.uuo.uun, an increase 01 9suo.uuu.0uu, or about 55u per cent. The farmers' export trade for the decade 1S51-1850 amounted to $l.vi;.itm,oi arid in the following deeade. in spite of the transfer of multitudes of men from productive to destructive life, the total was $2.431.Ou0.0o0. In the decade after that the export trade doubled ami amount ed to $4,)4.0Q0,uu0. In the next decade the amount grew to $6.740,000.000, and the total for the decade of 1&)1-1900 was $7,032.000,000 or an average of over r703,oOO.OOO a year." Dynamite Explosion Casualties.

CANAL WILL BENEFIT Protestants Will Increase Efforts to Convert the People of Latin-America. MUCH WORK UNDER WAY Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW YORK. Dec. 12.-The Panama canal being: assured, as is believed, mlsslouary enterprises affecting Central and South America are exceedingly active. The neglect of South America by Protestant agencies, which has long kept the United States in greater ignorance of the continent south of us than of Asia and Africa, it is declared, must come to an end. Methodist, Presbyterian and Episcopal Churches in this com - try, and the Church of England and several of the Free Churches in Scotland, England and Ireland are stirred up by the canal project. Representatives of the progressive spirit in several of the South American republics are now in the United States and in England appealing for recognition, and declaring sentiment back at their homes .is ripe for American ideas. Appeals are being made for missionaries. Inquiries are making about the sending of young men from Brazil, Chile and even from Colombia to colleges here, and one promoter is in New York seeking business arrangements which will permit young Venezuelans to obtain positions by which they may support themselves by work during the day and enter upon study at night. The news of the canal treaty and the dig ging of the ditch by American money appears to have set loose the whole liberal clement of these Latin countries. Religious bodies that already have considerable work to their credit in South merle are the Methodists, the Presbyterians and the Episcopalians of this country, and the Church of England. Canadian Baptists have four workers In the Argentine, the Moody Bible Institute four in Uruguay, and the Chrlstlau and Missionary Alliance in Chile. American Presbyterians have had a mission station in Bogota, Colombia, since 1856. and have there above two hundred members.
