Tbe scene of the trouble is the depart ment ol Cauca. . - "In the recent election, San. dem enti and Senor Marroquin were elected president and vice-president respect ively.

Both San Clenienti and Marroquin, however, are drawing their salaries of 86,000 pesos per annum. This is payable in silver, but tha ourrenoy ol Colombia is so up set that it is difficult to place a value upon it. "There is a demand there tor Benito Seamala who is here in New York.

He said in part: "China ba a great deal to learn from this , young republic I hope. however, tbat she will learn, not the arts of war, whioh have for their sola end and aim the destruction of life, but tbe arts ol peace wblcb make lor the happiness and welfare of the people. No nation can become really great by war. True' greatness does not lie in tbe extent of territory nor in tbe strength of battalions, but ia tbe char acter of the people. From personal observation I am inclined to tbe belie! that tbe American people possess tbe element of national greatness in a bigh degree. "Tbe test of loftiness ot character ia to possess boundless power without abusing it. Wealth is power. Where can you find such vast accumulations of wealth in pri vate bands aa in Aineri oa, witb so little attendant evil felt by society? I have seen countries where tbe rich oppress the poor and the poor curse tba rich. There money is the loot of all evil. Tbe reverse seems to be the case in America. Hera the rich nse the ample means at their disposal tor tha benefit of tbe people, and the people have good reason to bless tbe riob. In other word a, American men of wealth are public benefactors. have not (ar to go for an example. In yonr midst yon have a signal instance of this class ol philanthropic men of wealth. This institution is an endur ing monument of tbe founder's munifi cence. Here one can find the most effective means for the enlightening ol the mind and tbe uplifting of the soul. Books, paintings and sculpture and specimens of objects possessing educa tional value are accessible at all times and to all persons. : The day will noon come when foreigners will visit this city, not so much to sea tbe great in du atrial establishments as to see this institution, which spreads its influence far and wide. This city will be equal ly famous for the great educator aa for a manufacturing center. May this standing monument of the founder's benefaction stimulate others to follow this noble example. May the 'Found er's day,' which I heartily join with yon in celebrating, ba ever observed from year to year aa an event of na tional interest." After the exercises a reception was tendered to Minister Wu in the art gallery, where the distinguished guest met and shook hands with about 1,000 people. ' ' Lived 13 Teara. ; New York, Nov. 6.

SUE MUST BE DEPOSED Powers Determined to Re move Chinese Empress. CEEATIOS OF INDEMNITY UND Other Qaoatlon Considered Is tbe tabUahment of Foreign Ministry. Washington, Nov- 8. It wss stated today in quarters well versed in Chi nese affairs, that outside of the ques tion of indemnity, punishments, etc., now under negotiaton at Pekin, there are three vital and (ar-reaobing ques tion to be determined, via.: First, the removal ol tba empress dowager, personally and through tbe Influence ol her advisers, from all participation in the Chinese government; second, th creation of an indemnity fund by tb increase ol China's customs revenue, either by tbe payment ol the duties in gold instead oi deprecitod silver, as at present, or else doubling the preset t silver duties from 8 per cent to 10 per cent ad valorem, and third, the estab lishment of a minister of foreign af fairs, in place of the old and cumber some system of the Tsung li Yamun. Tba demand tor tbe retirement ol the empress dowager is said to result from the conclusion now generally accepted that the imperial govern ment ol China waa responsible tor thr Boxer uprising. A the empress dow sger was the ruling authority ol tha Imperial government during the upris ing, this responsibilty is brought bom directly to her. There is understood to be no purpose, however, to visit upon ber any personal punishment or indignity, but merely so to form tba reconstructed government aa to ex clude ber from all participation in it. It ia deemed advisable for that rea (on that she should remain permanent- (y away from Pekin. and that her ad Uers also sboull be kept away from the seat ol government. The plan ol doubling China' cus toms duties has arisen from tbe need ol Gnding a source to pay war indemnl- ' ties, which tbe various powers demand. THEY GIVE NO QUARTER.
