SURRENDER PROMISE!Conferenre between Opposin? Generals and American Ofliceis liesiilts in Au Understanding. Savy Department Sustains Capt. Perry in Ilia Attitude Toward l"se of Hailaojd. Colon, Nov. 29. The conference yesterday between Liberal and Conservatives and the officers commandant; the foreign warships here, was not held on shore, but on board the United States gunboat Marietta in the Jiarbor. The commanding officers of .the Marietta, of the British cruiser Tribune and of the French cruiser JSuchet, and Lieutenant Commander JJcCrea of the Machias and Captain .Perry of the Iowa, were present, as were Generals Alban and Jeffries, representing the government of Colombia and Senor De La Rosa, secretary to Genera Domingo Keys, who represented the Liberal party of Colombia. No information of the result of this conference has been made public, and none of the details of the understanding arrived at have leaked out. It can be said upon the best authority, Sxrwever, that the Liberals have agreed to surrender Colon to the government authorities. United States .marines still guard Colon. Many un reliable statements concerning the terms of surrender are current on shore, but the only men informed in lhU regard refuse to answer ques tions. Colon is quiet, but much anx 3ety prevails. THEY UPHOLD HIM 'avy Department Sustains the Action of Perry. "Washington, Nov. 29. Naval offl cers here are disconcerted at the illfeeling exhibited toward Captain Ptiry at Panama because he will not allow the railway to be used for the transportation of armed troops. After a careful examination of the precedents and the treaty under which the United States is now made absolutely responsible for the safety of traffic across the isthmus, they declare that 'Captain Perry had no alternative. Mad he. allowed the Colombian gov ernment forces to use the road on the Panama as tbey desired, he must of necessity have yielded the same right to the Liberals, who hold the Colon evitably have been conflicts and the provisional line would prevent the free transit that Captain Perry is there to maintain. Therefore his attitude Is held by the navy department to be entirely correct. However, the Cart is recognized that the situation Is dangerous from an international point of view, and it is hoped the pressure will be relieved speedily by the transfer ot active military operations to some other field not near the Panama railway. A Courtly Custom. "Washington, Nov. 29. Having received official notice from the Turkish minister at Washington that Wednesday was the anniversary of the birth of the sultan. President Roosevelt sent that monarch a personal telegram of congratulation. This was in return for a similar compliment paid him by the sultan on the occasion of his birthday last month. The custom of exchanging congratulatory messages of this kin i was inaugurated a great many years ago and is faithfully observed by most of the rulers of European governments. The late Queen Victoria always kept informed with respect to the birthdays of American presidents, and never failed to send a personal telegram of congratulation and the compliment always was reciprocated on the anniversaries of her .birth. , leati Followed Quickly.

i How Slate Kil-J .- are the Iadian polis. Nov. 2a. The slate made an unusual effort to obtain a verdict for the death penalty in the trial of James Johnson for the murder of Joel Combs. Wben the jurors first reached iL.vr room, it became apparent that there would be a division on ! t:s punishment, the first ballot, t.'.l voted for murder in i.he first de gree, but the men wvo stood out for life imprisonment announced then: "There is no use thinking of a verdict for capital punishment. We will never vote for it." Sixty ballots failed to show any change in the position of the two sides. The men favoring death penalty came near deciding to cause a disagreement, rather than vote for life sentence, but they were afraid the state's strongest witness would get away before another trial could be had, so they were gradually won over to the life Imprisonment sentence. Kudu red a Hard Pail. Elwood, Ind., Nov. 29. Charles Skinner, who has been employed with a gas well drilling outfit, had a miraculous escape from death while at work on the top of a derrick, three miles east of the city.

The local police department is using every effort to locate the old man. He Will Probably Die. Marlon, Ind., Nov. 29. Charles Rey nolds of this city, an oil man, came near meeting instant death.

A NKWICOMET CbicaKO Gets First Glimpse of Celestial Vagrant. Chicago, Nov. 29. A comet was visible here in the southern Bky last evening. Its position as viewed from the Auditorium tower, in which the United States weather bureau is situated, was about 10 degrees southeast from the zenith. It was difficult to judge of its length, for the reason that it was pointed directly upward and was apparently going from the earth, but Prof. Cox, in charge of the bureau, said that in his judgment it was about two degrees long. "I am not an astronomer," said Prof. Cox, "but I feel very positive that it was a comet. It was plainly visible at 5:30 o'clock, and we could see it at 7 o'clock, when it became invisible on account of the increasing haze. All the men in the office here saw it. It could not have been a meteor, for it remained practically in the same position during the entire time it was visible, and no meteor would have done that. Its apparent immovability shows, too, that it was at a great distance from the earth. There was a hea. which was plainly visible to the naked eye and still more apparent when viewed through a glass. There was also a well defined tail." The comet was seen by many people on the- streets, as well as by the officials at the weather bureau. Itisi Rlaze in New York. New York. Nov. 29. Half a million dollars is the estimate of the loss by a fire last evening in the vicinity of Ninth street and the East river. Several firemen were hurt, but none seriously. The blaze started in the plant of W. E. L?ptegrove & Bros., manufacturers of boxes, veneers and fine wood work, and this firm was the principal sufferer. One of its buildings was a seven-story structure, while those surrounding it were onestory buildings. All the Uptegrove mill was destroyed. From the Standard Oil company's depot on Eleventh street thousands of gallons of oil were drained into the river to prevent a great explosion ami resulting coafiagratien. Cot. Tiil'tVi ' It ton.

-KiHtlOUS DISCREPANCY l!ar Sfrtie Kevealed in Stewart It- Young's Accounts. Ixfuisville. Ky.. Nov. 2. Beyond a statement made to Mayor Granger by one of the expert accountants that discrepancies amounting to $23,000 had been found in the books of the former city treasurer. Stuart R. Young, who committed suicide Wednesday, nothing definite is known as

i to how the accounts stand between the city and its former treasurer. When asked for an authoritative statement, one of the accountants said that beyond the amount mentioned he had absolutely no idea as to what the alleged shortage is. He added that the accountants would require two weeks of constant work to go over the books of the treasurer's office. During his four years' term as city treasurer Mr. Young handled $11,000,000. There are various reports as to the amount of the alleged shortage, some placing it at $50,000 and some even higher, but they are all surmises' according to the men who are examining the hooks. From developments it seems absolutely certain that if Young had been found by his friends who were looking for him Wednesday afternoon he would be alive now. Several of Young's friends, having heard reports about the condition of the former city treasurer's accounts before newspaper publication was made of them, had arranged a tentative plan to secure any aid for him that might be needed. Their plan was frustrated merely by the fact that Wednesday afternoon they were unaole to find Young. A startling Story. Janesville, Wis., Nov. 29. Rumors of a startling nature which throw new light on the alleged accidental killing of white hunters through reckless 6hooting on the part of their companions have reached this city. It is now alleged that in several instances Indians have intentionally shot the men down. The invasion this fall by thousands of sportsmen has resulted in a wholesale slaughter of deer at the very door of the Indian wigwam. This is said to have made the red men very angry. Half civilized Indians this fall informed old-time hunters that the only way to rid the pineries of city sportsmen was to scare them out by means of sending a few stray bullets here and there wherever the hunters happened to be lying in wait. Cl:irke In Knrope. Boston. Nov. 29. Dr. Francis E. Clarke, president of the World's Christian Endeavor, will sail for Europe Jan. 4. where he will give his personal efforts to establishing the society more firmly on the continent, especially in central Europe.

In all tese lands Christian Endeavor has already shown good results, and it is expected Dr. Clark's presence and effort will give it a still greater impetus. He will be away about seven sionths. Work of Highbinders. San Francisco. Nov. 29. The Chinese quarter of the city was the scene of two shooting affrays in which two Chinese were killed and a third fatally wounded.

TUT HIM OCT Terry McGovern Mecta His Match in "Vou jj Curbett." A Christian Invasion. Hartford. Conn.. Nov. 29. Outwitted and outpointed by a fighter of the same style as himself. Terry McGovern was knocked out yesterday afternoon at the Nutmeg Athletic club, by "Young Corbett" within six minutes from the start of the fight. The end came after a minute and 44 seconds of the second round had elapsed. "Young Corbett," who outside of ring parlance, is known as Billy Rothwell of Denver, Col., not only defeated the champion in less than two rounds of fighting, but he did it so perfectly that there was no doubt about the cleanness of the victory. The shock to the New tork enthusiasts who crowded the boxing pavilion when the little champion was knocked out, was a repetition of the disappointment exhibited by the adherents of John L. Sullivan when Corbett defeated him in New Orleans. Terry was as fit as the proverbial fiddle, but he was not fast enough for his man. From the start the lads went at each other like gamecocks, and it looked as if either might go out in the first round. McGovern got the worst of the opening round, and in his endeavor to get in, left himself open several times. Corbett stood off McGovern on every lead and trick, but the little Brooklyn boy went on as if there was nothing to it but the winner's end of the purse. When McGovern was kr acked down in the opening round there were cries of dismay from his backers, but his wonderful recuperative powers were equal to the occasion and he was on his feet within seven seconds. This downiall seemed to take the stamina out of McGovern, but he fought the round out in clever style and tried hard to avoid the defeat which seemd in store for him. He tried all his rushing work, which had proved so profitable on former occasions, but Corbett met him every time and countered hard on neck, jaw and head. When Terry came back to his corner at the end of the first round he said: "That's the toughest guy I ever met, but I'll lick him just as soon as I see an opening." Terry went down again tn the second round, but got up quickly and rushed at Corbett liek a wild man. He showed a lack of serf-restraint, and in a burst of bad temper hit out left and right irrespective of all rules and usages. These tactics apparently were just what Corbett was looking for. Terry was mixing things up with whirlwind velocity and throwing science to the winds. It was anyone's fight at this stage, but Terry fell into a trap as Corbett feinted and suddenly sent his right out when McGovern was side stepping. This blow just grazed McGovern's head, tust a moment later Corbett feinted him again and after a rattling exchange sent his right over to the jaw, and Terry went down and out. While the fallen champion was frantically trying to regain his feet the crowd yelled madly. The referee declared that the young Denver lad had won. He won on his merits, too, as he took chance for chance. After the fight a purse of $10.00 was offered by the Twentieth Century Athletic club of San Francisco for another fight between McGovern and Corbett, and McGovern ac-i cepted the offer. j A Nice Qoiet Oame.
