PANAMA QUESTION Produces An Extended But . Ineffective Debate In the Senate.

SENATORS WOULD TALK Resolution Looking to Arbitration of Colombia's Claims Brought Out a Divergence of Views. In the House Several Matters Caused a Season of Equally Ineffective Talk. "Washington, Jan. 13. For almost five hours the senate debated the Panama question and it was still under consideration when the senate adjourned last evening. The discussion arose over a resolution looking to the arbitration of Colombia claims on account of the Panama revolution. It was introduced early in the day by Mr. Bacon and was met promptly by a motion on the part of Mr. Lodge to table it. This motion aroused the feeling of senators on the Democratic side, who construed the motion as intended to cut off debate, and said they would debate the Panama question-on some other resolution' if not on this. Finally Mr. Lodge consented to withhold his motion and discussion proceeded throughout the day with the understanding that it should be renewed, and Republican senators In their speeches referred to the resolution as a confession of wrong on the part of the United States and expressed the opinion that any agitation of the question at this time would give undue encouragement to the people of Colombia and misrepresent the attitude of this country. Mr. Bacon -disavowed any such intention and said that he accepted the revolution as an accomplished fact. A ready response to this pronouncement came from Mr. Hale, and' during the course of the debate he and Mr. Bacon practically agreed on a declaration which Mr. Hale intimated that he would offer in the senate. Other Republican senators indicated an unwillingness to accept any measure looking to an interference with executive negotiations, while the Democratic senators also intimr.ted objections on other grounds. Variety of Topics in the House. The house yesterday for more than five hours considered the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, but reached no conclusions on it. A variety of topics, including Panama and the tariff, were discussed during the course cf the debate. Mrl Adams (Rep., Pa.) in referring to the dinner recently given in New York city at which Mr. Olney spoke, made reference to the result of the recent New "York municipal contests as a victory won by catering to those who desire free lfcense in rum and immorality. This statement was resented -by Mr. Fitzgerald (Dem., N. Y.), in a vigorous speech, who in giving the reasons responsible, in his opinion, for the Democratic victory in that city, warmly assailed the Low administration. When the item in the bill providing for the expenses of the civil service commission was reached, Mr. Hepburn (Rep., Ia.) took occasion to express his opposition to the civil service system as it now exists and. expressed a desire to amend the bill by striking out the paragraph providing for the expenses of the commission. The discussion of the civil service was pending when the house adjourned. T COLOMBIAN ACTIVITY Troops Being Rapidly Concentrated at Titumatl. Colon, Jan. 13. United States naval authorities here appear to be convinced from the tenor of the reports which are continually brought in that Colombia is determined to send an army to attack Panama, The Panamanian authorities have received official confirmation of the fact that the Colombian trpQps..at Titumati number M'll Humors Are impure matters which the skin, liver, kidneys and other organs can not take care of without help, there is uch an accumulation of them. They litter the whole system. Pimples, boils, eczema and other eruptions, loss of appetite, that tired feeling"; bilious turns, fits of indigestion, dull headaches and many other troubles are due to them. Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills Remove all humors, overcome all their effects, strengthen, toue and invigorate the whole system. ' I had salt rheum on my hands so that I could not work. I took Hood's Sarsaparilla end it drove out the humor. I continued Its use till the sores disappeared." Mes. Iba. O. Bows, Rumford Falls, Me. Hood' Sarsaparilla promises to cure and keeps the promise.

at least 4,000 men under" Che command of Generals Ortiz, Uribe-Uribe, Busta mente and Nove. These troops are well armed and supplied with ammunition and have four guns, three steam launches and a large supply of cattle. The district Is an unproductive one and the provisions and other supplies which the troops possess have been brought to them from other places. The government learned these facts from a reliable information at Titumati who contrives .to send news of that district to Colon by means of signals and trustworthy messengers.

Port of Wiju Opened. Seoul, Jan. 13. The emperor of Korea has ordered the opening of Wiju, subject to the acquiescence of China, by telegraph. The American, English, Russian, Italian and Japanese legations at Seoul are under guard. It Is stated that sweeping changes will be made soon in the personnel of the Korean government favorable to Japan Interests. Stabbed From Ambush. Boonville, Ind., Jan. 13. Charles Koehler, while returning home from a show was stabbed by some unknown person, the blade of the knife entering above the ear and causing fatal injury. He is unable to give any details of the assault. fwORE TROUBLE IN STORZ Indiana Democratic "Harmony" Now Breaks Out Anew. Indianapolis, Jan. 13. There is "more trouble in store for the Democrats of this county who have been trying so hard to talk people into believing that all is harmony in the party ranks and that all differences are a thing of the past and that the hatchet has been buried too deep for resurection. As usual James L. Keach is the disturbing element and he has thrown down the gauntlet to a big part of the party and boldly told them that he is ready to meet them. Reach's anger just at present is directed toward the Indiana Democratic club, that devoted organization which a year or more ago was hailed as the society which would rejuvenate the party and put it into fighting trim. Keach joined the club when it was organized. He paid his dues and was a good club member until the first of the year. Then he asked for his account, paid it and sent in his resignation. Keach says the club fought him when he was a candidate for city chairman and that he is ready to give it a fight in return. He does not hesitate to express his sentiments about the club. "I m?de up my mind to get out ol the clutT when I found it was trying to name the city chairman," explained Keach. "When I was a candidate a crowd from the club met at the Denison one night and brought out a candidate against me. That is not what a political club should be for. I have not had a good opportunity to resign before this or I would have done so, but I am through now." With Keach and the club at outs a new interest is given to the battle royal which evidently is approaching, and which it is predicted will split the party wide open. Since the postoffice inspectors made their investigation of the local postoffice many of the employes have been waiting in fear and trembling to hear what recommendations were made to the department at Washington to know whether or not they are slated for dismissal or reduction. As a matter of fact it Is believed that recommendations for changes and dismissals were freely made, but it is not believed here that the recommendations of the report will ever be carried out. It is known that in almost every case where a charge of incompetency was made that it was on account of old age. It is very doubtful whether the Washington authorities will care to dismiss anyone on this ground alone, and local-politicians say they will not dare to do so. It is pointed out that the departments at Washington today are the worst handicappped on account of old clerks of any In the country. This being the case local politicians say the authorities never would dare to pick out Indianapolis as the place to begin weeding out the old men. The army post site difficulties are apparently all to be straightened out and the whole matter amicably adjusted within a few weeks now. Secretary of War Root, to whom the matter has at last come, has decided that the post site shall remain where it was first planned to lay it out, and he has solved the difficulty of the old graveyard by deciding that the cemetery may remain and that the post shall be laid out around it. This solution is a happy one for all parties concerned, and efforts will be made now to have the actual transfer of the property made to the government at once. There is one thing Secretary Root refuses to do, however, and that Is pay John Roberts the additional price he is ask ing for his land. This means that condemnation proceedings will likely be Instituted at once. . . . The Indiana World's Fair commls sioners will meet here tomorrow for their monthly meeting. The meeting was postponed from Tuesday. There are several matters of importance to come before the commission as the time for the opening of the expos'tion la approaching. Notices have been ent to all the commissioners asking them to make a special effort to at Und this meeting, as it Is import:' n'. that there shall be a full attendance.

JOB FOR TEACHERS

Their Latest Duty Is to Per- .; suade Boys to Stick to the Farm. IT WILL BE A SAD DAY When Small Homesteads Give Way to Jjanded Estates, Says the State Educational Department. To Overcome This Teachers Are En Joined to Give the Boys Some Sound Advice. Indianapolis, Jan. 13. Touching on the steady migration of the young men of the rural districts to the citie3 in search of a so-called "better chance," and believing that Indiana is being sapped of its energies by that movement, the t state department of public instruction in its last bulletin to the teachers says that they can influence the boy to stay on the farm and to work out its problems. "It will be a sad day for our national life when all our young farmers come to town; when the small, wellcultivated homesteads give way to landed estates," the bulletin says. The necessity of keeping the boys on the farm was the subject of a discussion as to what the teacher can do for the community. A teacher's power in determining the industry of a community lies in making her schoolroom a busy workshop, where the rights of others and the nobility of honest toil are taught. The bulletin which is being sent out by the state department deals with the relation of the teacher to the school, her patrons and the locality. The teacher, the bulletin says, ought to be a missionary, harmonizing turbulent elements. CHILDREN IN ASYLUMS Comparison of Number In Orphans' Homes With That of Preceding Year. Indianapolis, Jan. 13. A decrease in the number of children in the orphan asylums supported by the state at the close of the fiscal year is shown in comparison with the preceding year. On Oct. 31 last there were 1,527 children in the orphan asylums, or twentyeight fewer than the year before. During the year 1,139 were admitted to the homes, 675 obtained family homes, and 337 were returned to their parents. During the year twenty-six became of age, eight ran away and thirty-seven died. Sixty-five per cent of all the orphans in the state homes were boys. There were only twentythree children in the county poor asylums. The homes in the counties of Hendricks, Howard and Wabash and the Colored Orphans' Home in Gibson county were closed during the year. Skull Broken and Didn't Know It. Richmond, Ind., Jan. 13. John Leonard, a Pennsylvania railway brakeman, died very suddenly and it then developed that for six weeks he had been suffering from a fractured skull, and was in ignorance of the fact. He was accidentally thrown from his car at Logansport, suffering as he supposed, only scalp wounds. Two weeks ago he married Miss Edna Arnold. ' Fortville Means Business. Fortville, Ind., Jan. 13. Over $1,G00 has been pledged to oppose the admission of saloons in this place. The league now has a guarantee of over $3,000 for the above purpose. One year ago Fortville had five saloons. Today she has none, and has ceased to believe that saloons are necessary for the prosperity of the town. Boy Convicted of Manslaughter. Indianapolis, Jan. 13. The jury In the case of Marshall Harrington, the sixteen-year-old boy charged with the murder of his playmate, Albert Nicholas, twelve years old, brought in a verdict finding the boy guilty of manslaughter. A term in the Indiana boys school at Flalnfield will be the punishment. Fell to His Death. Seymour, Ind., Jan. 13. George Kramer, fireman on the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern railway, had both legs cut off below the knee3 by falling under his engine at Nebraska, a station twenty miles east of this city. His condition is alarming. Died From Shock. South Bend, Ind., Jan. 13. While sawing off a tree in the woods near this city the tree suddenly slipped off the stump, crushing the leg and foot of Albert Clark 'so that he died within a few hours from the shock. He was fifty years old. Head Crushed to Pulp. Princeton, Ind., Jan. 13. Henry Whittaker,- colored, employed at the Nickey lumber yards, while switching cars loaded with logs, was caught in a jam and his head was crushed to a pulp. Woman Fatally Burned. Terre Haute, Ind., Jan. 13. Mrs. Lucius McDaniels of Lodi was fatally burned by her dress skirt taking fire from a lighted match she had thrown on the floor.

DECIDED CONTRAST

Difference Between Mr. Hanna's Vota Today and Six Years Ago. Colun:lr:s, O., Jan. 13. -The Ohio leglslat-r" by r-.;iir?.te ballot of the house and &entc voted to rturn Marcus A. Hanna to tho Units:! States senate for a second ferm. The result was formally announced at a joint session at noon today, a joint ballot being unnecessary by reason of Senator Hanna 'having a clear majority in each branch. Senator Hanna's re-election Is in striking contrast to his election six years ago, when, after a most exciting political contest, he secured only the SENATOR IIAXXA. requisite number of votes to elect, 73, on joint ballot, the senate on its separate ballot having given a majority of one vote to Robert L. McKisson of Cleveland. Yesterday Senator Hanna was reelected by the largest majority ever given to a candidate for United States senator from Ohio. The house cast 86 votes for Hanna, two Republican members being absent, and 21 votes for John H. Clarke of Cleveland, the Democratic candidate, one Democratic member being absent. The senate cast 29- votes for Mr. Hanna and four for Mr. Clarke. The Republican majority on joint ballot is 91. A Coming Engagement. San Francisco, Jan. 13. The glove contest between Young Corbett and Jimmy Britt will be fought under the auspices of the Colma Athletic club if present arrangements are carried out. The club has outbid all its competitors by offering a guarantee of $15,000, with the privilege of 76 per cent of the gate receipts. A check for $1,000 has been deposited with Eddie Graney, the referee, to bind the guarantee. The entire $15,000 must be in his hands by tonight or the $1,000 will be forfeited and the arrangement called off. Awful Dynamite Explosion. Peoria, 111., Jan. 13. A terrific explosion at the Buckeye powder mills, fifteen miles west of this city, resulted in the death of two employes and the partial destruction of the plant. Twenty thousand pounds of blasting powder blew up and the noise of the explosion was plainly heard in this city. Wm. Justice and Leonard Shaller, the two employes killed, were blown 300 feet in the air and a distance of 300 yards from the scene. The mill is a new one opened last October and employs over 100 men. Sad Accident to Gay Party. Newark, N. J., Jan. 13. A bobsled laden with fifteen young persons was hit by a trolley car at the intersection of Washington and Court streets last evening. All on the big sled were more or less injured. Eight were seriously hurt. MARKET REPORT Prevailing Prices for Grain. Provisions and Livestock on Jan. 12. Indianapolis Grain and Livestock.
