INTER-FLUVIAL CONGRESS.
To Discuss Question of . Connecting:
the Amazon and Plata Systems.
MEXICO CITY, "jan. 19. Though the
arbitration question In the Pan-American
Conference is supposed to have been dis
posed of, there is some prospect of Its
being again introduced.
There are some reports whlch'lthe con
ference will be compelled either to aban
don or refer to special bodies. Among
these is the report on patents and trade
marks. It will probably be recommended
to refer this subject to the committee of
five Jurists who are to be appointed at
"Washington to codify the principles of
public and private international law. There
exists a general wish that the conference
should make formal decision in favor of
the Monroe and Diaz doctrines as a part
of the international law of the Americas,
but In the end it will probably be decided
to refer this matter also to the interna
tional law codification committee.
A- committee matter that has aroused
general Interest is the report of General
Rafael Reyes, of Colombia, ori the means
of fluvial communication In South Amer
ica. If the contention of General Reyes
Is correct, to the effect that only a com
paratively few miles of canal digging is
necessary to connect the Amazon 'sys
tem of rivers with the Plata system, un
doubtedly a most important fact for the
future development of a rich and virgin
country has been propounded. The dele
gations of the South. American nations
interested In this matter intend to recom
mend that their respective governments
make an appropriation for the further In
vestigation of the subject and hold an
Interfluvial congress at Rio de Janeiro,
in which all of those nations will be rep
resented. The. Chilean party asserts that its ideas
have 'triumphed, since from the very start
the jdetesates of Chile proclaimed them
selves In favor of The Hague treaty and
finally the action of the conference was
to Adhere to The Hague convention. On
the other hand, it cannot be doubted that
the advocates of compulsory arbitration
in the conference have scored a great rlp
lomatlc victory in procuring admittance
for their convention embodying that prin
ciple. The difficulties with which they
had to contend were enormous.

LOW TAKEN TO TASK.
Parkhurst's Society Demands That
the Laws Be Enforced.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19. Dr. Charles Jfct
Parkhurst today gave out a letter ad
dressed to Mayor Low, which had been
adopted by the executive committee of
the Society for the Prevention of Crime,
of which Dr. Parkhurst is president. The
opening paragraph reads:
"While the Society for the Prevention
of Crime counts itself distinctly an ally
of the present municipal administration,
there are certain principles of action to
which we have uniformly adhered and
which we deem. It incumbent upon our
selves to pursue and to urge, even at the
risk of excepting the tld policy of those
whom we would like in all respects to
second and support. In all our past ac
tivity as a society we have proceeded
upon the distinct understanding that law
exists for the purpose of being obeyed."
The letter goes on to say that the first
two -weeks of the present regime have
made it "entirely indefinite as to what
civic righteousness in this city Is and
what it is not, and to that extent it has
operated to put the reform administration
in the same criminal attitude toward law
as was that occupied by the administra
tions ot '92. '93, '97 and 1S99." It deplores
thp fact that "while chartered by the
state to labor for the prevention of
crime, the society is not "quite certain
any longer what Is crime," and
says that the "atmosphere is cloud
ed by ambiguity emanating -from
administrative Incertitude," and that "the
situation Is morally intolerable." The
letter further says that "there Is not very
much to choose between, a Tammany ad
ministration that has bad principles and
a reform administration that has- good
principles but Is afraid to use them."
The letter, which Is signed by Dr. Park
hurst, concludes by demanding of Mayor
Low that "you brace your administration
In accord with your oath," and that he
summon resources at his command to the
work of "frankly and resolutely suppress
ing open or clandestine violations of rec
ognized statutes."
This action is construed as a breach
between the reformers and the reform ad
ministration. Mayor Low tonight refused
to discuss the letter.
Lest His Suit Against Regulators.
ANTHONY, Kan Jan. p. Alfred Pat
terson, who was 'regulated" last Sep
tember for maligning President McKln
ley, brought suit against 10 citizens hero
for $5000 damages each. At the time
that the President was shot, Patterson
was alleged to have given utterance to
these words: "All I am sorry about is
that the fellow did not finish the job."
Patterson was given a ducking. Among
the defendants Is Lee Hoffman, editor of
the Attica Advocate. The jury failed to
I agree aad was discharged.
HEUSTIS WILL STAY
President Asks Collector to
Keep His Office,
DELEGATIOHTAKEH BYSURPRISE
Question Now Is, Will Idc Se Reap
pointed, or Will Roosevelt Ac
cept Senator Foster's Rec
ommendation t
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. The members
of the Washington delegation were com
pletely surprised to learn that the Presi
dent had, independently and without con
sulting any one of them, authorized a
telegram to Collector Heustls, asking l
he would accept a reappointment, and
were doubly surprised to learn of his af
firmative reply. In the whole fight Heus
tls has been eliminated by every one. In
view of his repeated declarations that he
wished to be relieved of the office of Col
lector. Now that he has expressed his
willingness to continue, a lively fight is
expected before his nomination is made,
as Senator Foster significantly remarked
that the recent tender and acceptance Is
a long; way from an appointment. But
since the President desires Mr. Heustls
reappointed, hecauee of his exceptional
ability, 'there Is little or no possibility
of the nomination being prevented.
The question of vital Interest with the
delegation now Is, Will Ide be reappoint
ed, or will Hopkins secure the Marshal
ship? Ide's friends intend to keep up
the fight In his behalf, and are quite
hopeful. The fact that the President will
reappoint Heustls solely on his record,
taken In connection with the remarkably
fine record of Mr. Ide, la construed by
them to indicate that he, too, may expect
reappointment on the same ground. Yet
to reappoint Ide would be completely to
turn down Senator FoBter. The Presi
dent would doubtless hesitate long be
fore totally ignoring the sole Republican
Senator from Washington.
This fact, more than all else, seems to
point towards Hopkins appointment. Yet
the President himself has changed his
plans more than once during this fight,
and there is no absolute assurance that
he will not do so again. He may possi
bly yield to Senator Foster's fight on
Heustls,- retreating under cover of the
hitter's repeatedly expressed desire tobe
relieved, or he may take the Marsbalship
In his own, hands and reappoint Mr Ide
on the sole ground" of 'merit. The pres
ent indications, however, favor Hopkins
for Marshal and Heustls for Collector. If
thero Is to be any considerable delay, the
entire slate may again be changed.
Isthmian Canal Prospects.
The friends of the Nicaragua Canal are
a great deal at sea, and decidedly gloomy
as to canal prospects. Until the full re
port of the commission Is read, they are
guarded In expressing opinions, although
they say they are at a loss to under
stand why the commission should reverse
Itself. It Is feared that this supplemental
report In favor of Panama will defeat
any canal legislation at this session. There
will be a long contest in the Senate,
fought bitterly on both sides, as the
present lnteroceanlc committee, unless It,
too, has changed, will report the Hep
burn bill, a majority having expressed
themselves in favor of Nicaragua since
the Panama offer was made. Should the
Panama proposition carry in the Senate,
it will meet with fierce opposition in the
House, although the members of that
body are so anxious for a canal that they
might yield. The more probable out
come, however, is that the question will
be referred back to the President to se
cure further Information as to whether
the 'French Government, representing the
stockholders in the old Panama concern,
will present claims on behalf of those
stockholders should the offer of the new
company be accepted, also whether there
will be any doubt as to the concession
from the Colombian Government
Any attempt to delay the canal will be
fought bitterly by those who are honestly
In favor of Panama and by that large
contingent which believes that the Nica
ragua route is the only practicable solu
tion of the canal problem. There is a
suspicion that the Panama proposition is
for delay only, and, consequently, those
favoring a canal will make the most vig
orous fight for the Nicaragua route, and
to have action at this session.
Senator Mitchell says that what he
knows of the supplemental report can
not change his views, and he still favors
going ahead with the Nicaragua Canal
bill, as he believes the commission can
have no further Information than that
already In possession of the Senate and
the public Representative Moody says he
believes that the House will stand for
Nicaragua with considerable determina
tion before.lt will accept either the Pan
ama route or a compromise proposition.
Senator Morgan has been endeavoring
to ascertain the position of the railroads
in connection with the Panama movement,
and has already been authorized by his
committee to appoint two subcommittees
for the purpose of conducting investiga
tions ln'New York and Washington, with
a view of ascertaining just what the rail
road interests are In Panama, and espe
cially In the Panama Railroad, which it
Is proposed the United States shall ac
quire with the Panama Canal property.
If the railroads are taking a prominent
part in the canal legislation, they are
doing It in such a careful manner that
their hands are not visible In the proceed
ing, and probably will not develop until
the position of the various debators sup
posed to be acting In the railroad Inter
ests is brought out in the canal debate.
Walla Walla Federal Building;.
It Is probable that Senator Foster will
be able to secure a favorable report from
the Senate committee on public buildings
and grounds on behalf of the postoffice
and federal building for Walla Walla.
The Senator's bill. Introduced early in
the session, has been brought to the at
tention of the Secretary of the Treasury.
and he estimates that, considering the
bualnsfis transacted at Walla Walla and
the needs of Federal office room, a sat
isfactory structure can be had for $190,
000, and it is estimated by the Secretary
that $10,000 would be sufficient to pur
chase the site. The bill has not yet been
reported from the committee en public
buildings and grounds, but, with the ad
ditional data Senator Foster is collecting
with reference to the need's of the new
building at Walla Walla, the prospects
In the way ,pf an early advancement of
the bill are quite promising.
Air'Antl-Canteen Protest.
A large number of citizens of Kelso,
Cowlitz County, have sent to Senator Fos
ter a very vigorous protest against the
repeal of the anti-canteen law. In this
petition the following statement is made:
"In case of a civil war and there Is a
call for volunteers, we would give our
sons freely to our country's service, but
we think that our Government should
protect them from evil influences as far
as It In their power lies, and In case our
boys lived through the war, return them
to as as nearly the good -men they were
when they left hoae,"T,nd not send us
back a lot of drunken! sots to degrade
and disgrace our families and make our
homes living hells."

Stamping: Out Unionism.
CHICAGO, Jan. 19. Five hundred cus
tom clothing workers, the majority of
them women, have been locked out, and
It is said the number will be largely in
creased In the near future, as the result
of an' organized movement to stamp out
unionism among the garment-workers In
Chicago. The Chicago Federation of La
bor has taken up the fight of the clothing
workers, and today declared a boycott
against the concerns responsible for the
lockout.
SULPHUR SMOKE AND FUMES
Lead to an Injunction Against Ten
nessee Plants.
DUCKTOWN, Tenn., Jan. 19. Another
Injunction has been granted against the
Ducktown Sulphur, Copper & Iron Com
pany and the Tennessee Copper Company
on account of sulphur smoke and fumes
that are emitted 4rom their plants. The
president of the Tennessee Copper Com
pany has notified Randolph Adams, gen
eral manager of the company here, that
when the Injunction Is served on him he
Is to close down the entire works and
mines and pay oft and discharge every
man.
This would prove a- calamity to the
people of Ducktown. It would be a repe
tition of the days of 1S78, when the Union
Consolidated Mining Company suspended
operations. The same condition exists
now as then, hundreds offamllles too
poor to procure transportation from Duck
town being forced to walk away with their

Hovr They Escaped.
A Ledger reporter, who visited the island
tonight, brings the following particulars
of the escape:
A hole In the brick wall of cell No. 10,
occupied by Convicts Synder and Davis,
Teveals the method of escape. The wall
Is about a foot In thickness, and the floor
of the cell Is of equal thickness, covered
with concrete. The tunnel was dug atl
the Junction of the wall and the floor
sloping outwardly until It formed- a con
nection with the air chamber about two
feet below and a foot outwardly from
the corridor wall of the celL Through
thi3 air chamber the prisoners crawled
about 40 feet to where It opened into the
boiler-room, the opening being covered by
an iron grating. This ..obstacle was over
come by the use of saws, and the prison
ers had then only to walk out of the back
doer of the boiler-room across the yard
and 'scale the board fence. A few yards
from' the prison grounds the dense growth
of timber afforded them temporarily a
safe retreat
The prisoners took advantage of the
latitude allowed 'them during the dinner
hour to consummate their plans, which
had been carefully designed and boldly
executed. The guards, with the excep
tion of two who were on duty on the wall
overlooking the corridor, were eating din
ner in the dining-room. The tables were
being spread In the corridor for the pris
oners' dinner. It being customary to serve
them immediately on the conclusion of the
guards' repast. A dinner gang was at
work putting the tables In order, and the
other convicts had the privilege of the
corridors.
Slipped Oat Unnoticed.
One by one the men slipped into cell
No. 10 and crawled through the hole un
noticed. When the guards came out and
lined the prisoners up for dinner 11 were
missing. A brief search resulted in find
ing the hole In the wall, and the guards
at once ran to the boiler-room where the
steel door swung on Its hinges, showing i
thnt the men hadV already flown.

slble the prisoners, secured more than 15
or 20 minutes the start of them. He at
once sent a squad bf guards In pursuit
and made a tour of the Island, notifying
the farmers of the escape, and Instructing
them to guard their boats carefully, so
that no opportunity would be allowed for
escape. Marshal Ide and Warden Palmer
are exerting all their efforts to establish
a perfect cordon around the boats, believ
ing that if they can prevent the prisoners
leaving the Island under cover of dark
ness they wii be able to retake them to
morrow.
With two launches, three rowboats and
SO men guarding the shore line, it Is be
lieved by the officials that If the men
were still on the island at 9 o'clock last
night, their escape will be blocked.
The Warden Surprised.
Warden Palmer has not had time to
make a thorough investigation; but is un
able to realize how the work could have
been done without detection.
"We Inspect the cells regularly once
each week," said the warden. "The last
Inspection was made Saturday, and I or
dered the guard who made the inspection
to make a careful examination. He re
ported everything all right. The work
must have occupied several days, and
how they could have concealed the brick
and dirt which they took frorn the wall
until they reached the air chamber Is more
than I can understand."
Warden Palmer believes the prisoners
used a spoon and wood wedges to burrow
through the brick wall.
The plan, which it is most feared will
be pursued by the convicts will be to
raid some of the numerous farmhouses
on the Island, secure guns, clothes and a
boat, and then row to the mainland.
Among the escaped prisoners are many
desperadoes, who would not hesitate at
murder to accomplish their purpose. With
so many at large, the farmers would be
at their mercy, and should they once get
of

Islands of Samar, Mindoro and Cebu
constitute the disturbed area In which
bodies of insurgents In force are to be

nature of the warfare carried on by the
Insurgents, who in the same hour pose as
friends and act as enemies; to the human
ity displayed by the American troops, of
which the Insurgents take advantage; and
to the fear of assassination on the part
of those natives who are friendly dis
posed toward the Americans, should they
give the latter Information concerning
the movements or whereabouts of the
Insurgents.
Municipal and provisional governments
are being organized. These governments
have not yet received a practical trial.
They constitute the only certain and re
liable method of ascertaining the progress
of the Filipinos toward self-government.
According to the opinion of Army offi
cers, the disaster to Company C, of the
Ninth Infantry, In Samar, when 48 men
were killed. Is attributed to the too great
confidence of these men in the territory
which they assumed to be pacified.
Suppression of Brigandage.
In the same report, Judge-Advocate
Groesbeck says the suppression of bri
gandage will probably be one of the most
trying problems of the future. If the
military arm be left free to deal with the
marauders, there Is no doubt of their
final supprtslon. Bdt the presence of tho
civil government complicates the situation
considerably. With the civil and mili
tary authorities working In harmony,
says Judge Groesbeck, no evil results
should be anticipated.
