COLON, Jan. 4. An Indian courier, who came In last night with a message for Governor Melendez, says that the Inlian Chief Inana'juina has returned to Cartl. Inanaquina was conveyed by the Colombian authority's In a mall steamur to Tltumati, from which point he and his party coasted to Cartl incanoes. The courier gays that Chief Inana iina is silent concerning his conference with the Colombian officials, but the courier supposes that the Colombians attempted to win the good will of the chief, with a view to learning what the Pnited States naval authorities were doing along the coast. The Inana'juina Incident is now looked upon as closed. The Pnited States gunboat Castine is patrolling the coast between Caledonia bay and the Gulf of Darien. The gunboat Hancroft is stationed at Nombre-d-Dias, forty miles northeast of Panama. The cruiser Atlanta is at Porto Bello, and the gunloat Nashville Is at Rocas del Toro, while the cruiser Olympia is taking on coal and provisions in the Chiiiqui lagoon, to which place the supply ship Culgoa hail gone. The converted cruiser Mayflower will leave to-morrow with mail for the warships and also for the purpose of scouting along the oast toward the. Gulf of Darien. The general situation on this side of the isthmus Is tranquil, which it baa practically been for the past two weeks. The only Colombian troops which are known to be near Panamaian territory are those under the command of Gen. Daniel Ortiz at Titumati. and which are variously estimated at between 1,500 and 2,500 men.

SHAMMING WAS CHARGED CHICAGO. Jan. 4. After being out for eighteen hours, a jury in the $50,000 damage suit begun by Miss Inna Hanson against the Chicago City Railway Company returned a verdict in favor of the company. The case had bten on trial for two months. Miss Hanson alleged that while attempting to board a car her spine was injured, with the result that the pressure of the vertebrae upon the spinal cord affected the various nerve centers. At one time, she averred, she was deaf, dumb, blind and paralyzed. She receovered thu use of her faculties of spech and hearing, she said, but remained blind and paralyzed in both legs and her right arm. It was in this condition that she was taken on a cot into the courtroom and told her story to the jury. On the other hand, the company charged that the accident described by Miss Hanson never occurred, and that she was feigning' her alleged afflictions. Two women dete. tives were employed to watch Miss Hanson's room In the Sherman House and take notes on what was said and done. According to their evidence, she appeared to recover the us. of her faculties upon her return to her room from the trial courtroom. She would comb her hair, it was asserted, walk about the room, and talk about persons and things she apparently saw. lmm'diately upon the announcement of the I di. t a motion for a new trial was entered on behalt oi Miss Hanson.

I JOHN MITCHELL. BOARD INDORSES STRIKE OF MEYERSDALE MINERS Members in Conference Also Discuss Situation in the Southern Colorado Field. MEETING IS A SECRET Upon the call of President John Mitchell, the national executive board of the United Mine Workers of America met iu special session yesterday at the headquarters of the organization in the Stevenson building. The meeting was called to discuss the situations of the strikes now existing among the miners of the uuiou, the two main conflicts of operators and miners being iu southern Colorado and in the Meytrsdale regiou of Pennsylvania. The board comprises a repreaeatatlvs from each of the districts of the organization. No action was taken at the board meeting yesterday, further than indorsing the action taken by the miners in the Meyersdale district, in striking against the 10 cents r. ductlan on every ton of coal. Mr. Mitchell said last night that It is not probable the board will take any action relative to the strike that can be made public. The meeting of the members of th board is more of a conference and yesterday was spent in discussing the strike situation in the southern fields of Colorado. Mr. Mitchell was desirous of obtaining full information as to the conduc t and progress of the strike. The meeting of the board will be continued this morning at 9:30 o'clock, at which the Meyersdale situation will bo taken up and discussed more fully. The strik in that region was brought about by the operators notifying the miners that after Dee. 10 there would be a reduction in their wages of 10 cents on every ton of coal mined. The reduction was made in direct violation of their agreement with the miners. About 5.O00 miners are Idle as a result of the strike. Mark M. Smith, a board member from the Meyersdale region, attended the nneting in this city yesterday. He said that there is no prospect of a settlement ahead, as both miners and operators are remaining firm iu their positions. Mr. Smith verified the reports that the operators are evicting the miners from their homes, on which rent has been paid for several weeks in advance. Last week, he said, four families were evicted from houses by the Somerset Coal Company on a day when the temperature was near zero and a snowstorm was raging. There were eared for by other miners. John F. Ream, a member of the executive board, who has been 011 the scene of action iu Colorado, was also present at the meeting yesterday. He reported that e verything was at a standstill iu the southern coal fields of Colorado, neither the mluers nor the operators willing to give way to the demands of the other. In a few of the smaller companies in the southern fields, he said, agreements had been signed, but they affected ouly about five hundred men. The strike is beiug conducted quietly. The operators are employing about five hundred men secured from other States and not miners. Their busiM M is practically at a standstill. Mr. Ream says that no prospect of a settlement is in sight.

After a secret conference lasting more than two hours, represer. natives of the local union of the Iron Molders' t'nlou of North America and officers of the nine- Indianapolis foundries affiliated with the National Foundrymens" Association failed to reach an agreement last night on the fixing of a wage scale for the ensuing year. The mee ting was held at the Grand Betel and was attended by James A. McKim, William Wilcox, John L. Ketcham and William M. Taylor, representing the Foundrynp'n's Association, and by George Gunery. ieore Gordn, John Reiff. Gilbert Johnson and Laff Keeiey, representing the molders. Another meeting of the committee will be held within a week at which attempts will be made to make a definite settlement of the wage scale. The reason given for not reaching an agreement last night was that more time is needed to investigate the agreement which exists between the Iron Molders' Union of North America and the National Foundrymen's Association. The agreement provides that representatives of the employers and the employes shall meet annually and determine upon a scale of wages for the following year. In case an agreement cannot be reached the matter is referred to the executive officers of the two associations, during which time the molders continue work under a verbal agreement. Although the particulars of last night's meeting would not be made public, it is understood that there Is an issue to be overcome in the fixing ol the scales for this year. The molders claim that all they are so king is a continuance of last year's scale, which expired on Jan. L Until the new scale is signed the men will work under a verbal agreement with their employers.

This necessitated getting up the children at an unusually early hour and keeping them out late iu the evening. CITY XEWS XOTES.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON. Ind., Jan. i.U. H. Vinnedge. chief clerk of the American Steel and Wire Company, is missing. He h ft last Thursday night with $5,000 in cash belonging to the American Steel and Wire Nail Company, and not a soul in the city knows where he is. His gttinfr was ao well planned and ao carefully executed that no note was taken of his absence outside of the local office of the American Steel and Wire Company until this morning. Even his wife believed his absence was on account of the regular demands of business, and she was crusheel when the full truth forced itself upon her. Thursday afternoon he left the offices of the company, and coming up town, presented a check for $5.eMJ at the Citizens' Bank, with the request that the money be paid him In bills of ten and twenty dollars denomination, stating as the reason that he desired to use the money as New Year's pay for the employes. The check was an American Steel and Wire Company cheek, and was signed "L. H. Vinnedge, chief clerk." The money was paid without question and Vinnedge returned with it to the office of the company. He went t his residence and packed his rip while Mrs. Vinnedge was away from home, leaving word for her thai he had been railed to Cle vedand on business. New Year s being a holiday the employes of the office lost a day In giving voice to their suspicions, but as soon as they became satisfied somethinK was wrong the Chicago office was wired and Treasurer Watson, of the steel corporation, with expert accountants came to Anderson. They are now at work on the books and while the ones in authority are exceedingly close mouthed it is already known that other peculations have been discovered. Additional chuks ara coming to light and the losses to the company may amount up into the thousands. LJewellyn H. VlnneMlge entered the mills as nail boy in the wire department thirteen years ago. He arose steadily until he be-c-arae chief clerk In the office, under the administration of the American Steel and Wire Company. He was transferred for a time to Joliet, 111., but after two years there was returned to Anderson. As chief clerk, he was adven full authority to draw checks upon the company's credit, and the Citisens' Rank officials say his signature to checks for any amount would never have been questioned.
