SHARP PLAY FEARED
That's Why Vargos-Santos
Didn't Attend Conference. .
NO CONFIDENCE IN GOVERNMENT
Harab Measures Said to Have Been
Taken When Revolutionary Lead
ers Submitted Peace When
Rights Shall Be Recognized.
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica. Nov. 9. The
reason why General Vargas--Santos, Mil
itary Director of the Colombian revolu
tion, did not go to Panama to attend the
conference arranged to take place today
on board the United States battle-ship
Wisconsin between representatives of the
Colombian government and the revolu
tionists, is because the government of Co
lombia, according to advices received
liere, intended to limit the subject of the
conference to the acceptance of the de
cree of amnesty recently promulgated by
the President of Colombia, Senor Marro
quln. General Santo Domingo arrived
here last month, bearing peace proposals
from the Colombian government to Gen
eral Vargas-Santos. He said the purpose
of his government in calling the peace
conference was to establish an effective
and lasting peace, which would harmonize
the Interests of the several political par
ties concerned in the revolution. The
matter was discussed between General
Vargas-Santos and the Colombian repre
sentative, who exchanged a number of
cablegrams with the Colombian author
ities at Panama, with the result that
General Vargas-Santos accepted the pro
posals made by General Santo Domingo,
and promised to attend the conference at
Panama with Generals Perdomo and Sal
azar, of the Colombian government, and
General Herrera, of the revolutionists.
At this point in the negotiations General
Vargas-Santos received advices to the ef
fect that, notwithstanding the proposals
of the Colombian government made
through its representative here, Colombia
purposed limiting the conferees to the ac
ceptance of the decree of amnesty. Gen
eral V ilIfciit-,3cAiH.UO urciCUllUil i "uoiu n
accept such a proposition, and decided to
withdraw from the conferenoe, which, he
says, he considers futile.
At the same time the Military Director
of the Colombian revolution learned that
the Colombian government had issued or
ders to General Tovar to Imprison the
revolutionary general Uribe-Uribe and sen
tence him to death without mercy. This
order was given in spite of General Urlbe
Urlbe's capitulation to the government
forces, which occurred at Rio Frio, Co--lombla,
last month. The receipt of this
news, which is considered in Colombian
revolutionary circles here to be a shame
ful violation of public faith, further in
duced General Vargas-Santos not to at
tend the peace conference at Panama,
and he Issued orders to the Colombian
revolutionary army to continue Its war
fare. General Vargas-Santos declares he Is
willing to make peace, providing the Co
lombian government' will recognize the
civil and political rights of which the
Liberal party has been deprived for the
last 17 years, but not otherwise.
After Revolutionary Fleet.
PANAMA, Colombia, Nov. 9. The; Co
lombian government gunboats Bogota and
Chuclto left here yesterday on a trip
along the coast In search of the revolu
tionary fleet. It is reported that Captain
Marmaduke, of the Bogota, has received
instructions to engage the revolutionists
in a decisive, battle if he finds it possible
to do so.
TROUBLES OF HAWA'lIANS
Officer Arrested for Embezzlement
of Public FnndN,
HONOLULU, Nov. 1. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) James H. Boyd,
Territorial Superintendent of Public
Works, has been suspended from office
by Governor Dole and arrested on a war
rant charging him with the embezzlement
of $1650 of public funds. The ousting of
Boyd makes vacant a third important ter
ritorial office, and has involved Governor
Dole in. another legal tangle as to his
powers of suspension of officials.
Boyd was in San Francisco when his
chief clerk, B. H. Wright, was arrested
on account of alleged embezzlements ag
gregating over $8000, and when Treasurer
Wright was accused with absconding with
$18,000 of public money, and Auditor- Aus
tin was suspended under grave charges.
Boyd returned here October 22 and was
handed a letter from the Governor, notify
ing him that Secretary Cooper would re
main in charge of his department until
certain irregularities had been explained.
Boyd's explanations were the payment of
$6307 into the department which had not
been accounted for. Governor Dole ad
vised Boyd by letter that his explanation
of where the money had been and how
it had been used during the interval when
it was not in the public treasury was "en
tirely unsatisfactory." and asked for an
immediate resignation. The superintend
ent's' reply was a note stating that he
would resume charge of his office.
As in the case of Auditor Austin, Gov
ernor Dole placed police on guard to keep
Boyd out of his office. Boyd appeared at
the Capitol building and attempted to en
ter his office. An officer kept him out,
and later he returned with his. attorney
and some witnesses and renewed the ef
fort. There was a violent struggle in the
corridor of the building, and then Boyd
.gave up. He will ask the courts for a
writ of mandamus to compel the ( Gov
ernor to allow him to resume charge of
the office, claiming that, the Governor has
,n6 power to suspend him without the con
sent of the Senate. 1
The public works department Is the
most Important under the territorial gov
ernment, carrying on large contracts and
employing many persons. The depart
mental difficulties leave the administra
tion in great embarrassment, owing1 to
doubt of Governor Dole's power to sus
pend an official. It Is understood that the
Governor has laid the situation before
President Roosevelt, and may receive
eome instructions as to how to proceed.
-Jn the meantime Secretary Cooper is In
charge of the Department of Public
Works.
The Supreme Court has rendered a de
cision reversing Judge Little, of Hllo, to
the effect that the territorial law Impos
ing a stamp tax on certain documents is
constitutional. Judge Little held that the
territory had no power to. Impose such a
tax, but the Supreme Court declares that
the organic act gives the territory such
power.
United States Attorney Breckons has
begun 'suit to condemn the schooner Julia
E. Whalen, in which Captain Rosehill re
cently made his trip to Marcus . Island, In
the hope of getting the island away trom
the Japanese. W. C. Peacock, the owner
of the schooner, is the defendant in the
action, and he is charged with having
sworn that he is an American citizen, in
order to get American register for his ves
sel, when in fact he was a British sub
ject. The sum of $2500 or the vessel is
demanded of him as a forfeit.

TRIES TO BLAME ANOTHER
Negro Charged With Murder Ac
counts for Possesion of Watches.
BOSTON, Nov. 9. George L. O. Perry,
the negro whx pawned the watches taken
from the murdered women, Miss Clara
Morton and MIrr3 Agnes McPhee, declared
today that Alan G. Mason is the man
from whom he received these articles.
Perry was taken to the Jail in East Cam
bridge, where Mason, under arrest on the
charge of killing Miss Morton, is con
fined, pending a hearing In the Cambridge
court tomorrow. In one of the jail cor
ridors Perry positively identified Mason as
the man who had given him the two
watches. Mason by neither look nor
word betrayed any knowledge of having
seen Perry before. When questioned by
Sheriff Fairbairn, Mason merely said:
"I do not know this man. I never saw
him before." .
During the day Chief Ryan and Officer
Argy, of Belmont, talked with Perry and
later State Officers New, Dunham, Dexjer
and others took Perry to jail. The officers
were shown into the room where Mason
and six others stood in line. Perry walked
straight up to Mceon, who was second
in position, and pointing his finger at him,
said:
"This Ls the man -who gave the watches
to me to pawn."
He was about to leave the room when
Sheriff Fairbairn asked him if he would
not like to talk to Mason, in order that
he might make himself sure that Mason
was the man. Perry replied there was
no need of that, he knew who the man
was and had known for a long time.
On heing returned to his cell. Perry
was. confronted by three newsboya and
they identified him as another newsboy.
Another visitor at the police station was
Mason'3 attorney. He was accompanied
by a woman. This woman did not see
Perry, but it was understood that she
had been produced by the defense in the
hope of showing that Perry himself, or
some other negro, was the real "Jack
the Slugger." She ls one of the women
who were followed by a negro in Cam
bridge several weeks ago.
Mr. Wade places no faith in the state
ment of Perry that it was Mason who
gave the boy the watches.

AFFAIRS IN PHILIPPINES
VICE-GOVERNOR "WRIGHT SAYS
GOVERNMENT WORKS "WELL.
Better Rule Now Than When Span
ish. Were in Power Islands Have
a Great Future.
HONOLULU, Nov. 1. (Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) The transport
Sumner arrived here Octoberf 30, en route
to San Francisco, with General A. R. Chaf
fee and Vice-GovernSr Luke E. Wright, of
the Philippines, on board. The steamer
passed through a terrible experience In a
typhoon soon after leaving Manila. She
lost one of her boats and had several dam
aged, and for a number of hours was In
grave danger. In an Interview published
by the Commercial Advertiser, Governor
Wright had the following to say of con
ditions In the Philippines and their fu
ture: -
"The developments following the Inau
guration of the civil government of the
Islands have been most satisfactory "We
have now civil government almost every
where, and the people seem to be learn
ing its advantages. The system of pro
vincial and municipal government has
worked well. During the past year there
has not been a single defalcation and very
few thefts. The government is strictly
one of civil service.
"There is a degree of peace and safety
in the Philippines now that was never
reached under the Spanish rule. The
Spaniards used to pay the brigands to
keep the peace, and we have refused to
continue this system. After the passage
of the Philippines bill last year we estab
lished the Insular J constabulary, and we
now have 6000 of these police. We find
that they are the best men for the busi
ness, and they have cleared the provinces
of lawbreakers with great rapidity. The
service Is one which appeals to the na
tives, for the police are chooen from the
tribes where they must serve.
"The future of the islands will be a
great one. What, Is needed most are rail
roads, and these may be built soon by
American capital. There Is a trunk line
on the Island of Luzon now under con
sideration, and its building will help mat
ters greatly."
Governor Wright also said he deemed
the return of the friars the best thing for
the islands, and he expected that the pope
would send a representative to appraise
the church lands in the Philippines.
TO SUPPRESS LADRONISM.
Military Will Probably Help
the
Constabulary in Cavite.
MANILA,, Nov. 9. The Government is
adopting vigorous measures to suppress
ladronism in the Provinces of Cavlte.
Rizal and Bulacan. A zone- 'embracing
these provinces and surrounding Manila,
ls the scene of constant petty and some
times serious, disorder. Severad armed
bands, some of them numbering 200 or 300
men, are operating In the described dis
tricts and have committed various depre
datibns. They find a safe refuge In the
mountains. The plan of the Government
contemplates securing the assistance of
the military, which has been Inactive
since the end of the insurrection. The
extent of the army's participation in
the work of suppression depends upon
developments. It Is probable that the mil
itary authorities will request the garri
sons to protect the more important towns,
while the constabulary conduct the field
operations. It is thought that martial
law, in a modified form, will be declared
and the privilege of the' writ of habeas
corpus suspended in Cavlte Province,
which has been the home of the ladrones
for ages. ,
-Military, control of Cavlte Province ls
not contemplated. It ls Intended that
the military and cixil authorities shall
work In conjunction. The belief is held
that advantage has been taken In some
parts of the island of the complete Inac
tivity of the soldiers, and it is thought
that the use of the armv by the civil
authorities will have a beneficial effect.'
The vigorous campaign against the la-
drones conducted by volunteers in Bula
can Province has resulted In driving
many refugee bandits Into Rlzal, where
the campaign is now opening. General
Davis ls co-operating with Gpvernor Taft.
He has strengthened the, garrisons in
Rizal and. Is supporting and assisting the
native constabulary which is now af
fected. The operations In Cavite Prov
ince will commence shortly.
WANTS TO BUILD RAILROAD.
English Syndicate Asks Privileges In
Luzon.
MANILA, Nov. 9. The English syndicate
which operates the Manila-Dagupan Rail
road has applied for a franchise to con
struct a railroad, from Guinuinto, Prov
ince of Bulacan, to Cabantuan, Province
of Nueva Eolja. The syndicate contem
plates later the extension of the road
from Cabantuan to Apprlon on the north
coast of Luzon. It wants the Govern
ment to grant a right of way and to make
certain tariff taxes and concessions for a
term of years. The Commission ls prepar
ing to enact a railroad law and It will not
grant the franchise applied for by the Eng
lish syndicate until Americans have had
a chance to examine the line of the pro
jected railroad and submit proposals. The
railroad line to Apparrl will be a part of
the Luzon trunk line and the granting of
a franchise for its construction ls there
fore a matter of Importance.
The Philippine Dissenters.
MANILA, Nov. 9. The dissenting ncftlve
Catholics who last week took possession
of the church at Pandacan, Manila, have
now surrendered the edifice to the Ro
man Catholic Church authorities. Other
native dissenters seized a church near
Cavite and held services there today. It
ls thought that the question of property
rights Involved In these seizures will be
taken Into court.
Cholera Continues in the Islands.
MANILA, Nov. 9. The cholera contin
ues to -be Intermittent in different parts
of the archipelago. The recorded total
of cases ,1s 105.000, and of dearths 67,000.
It is believed that the actual number of
cases exceeds the recorded number by
20 per cent.
CRISIS IN COAL STRIKE.
Will Men Stand by Union Decision
or Not?
PARIS, Nov. 9. The government ls tak
ing precautions to handle another out
break on the part of the striking miners
in case the decision reached last night to
continue the strike shall be followed by
violence. Troops were active In the. min
ing regions throughout the day, but no
serious disorders have as yet been re
ported. The authorities bellevo that the
crisis In the strike is near, and that the
next 24 hours will settle the question
whether the men will hold to their decision
to continue the movement or straggle
back to the mines.
Following the decision of the miners'
congress to continue the strike there were
disorderly occurrences in Lens (Pas do
Calais) last night. The cavalry charged
repeatedly a crowd of la,000 riotous1 min
ers and succeeded in preventing them from
advancing. Considerable other .damage
was done.
At Courr!eres( Pas de Calais) houses of
nonstrlkers were sacked and a number of
coal wagons were burned.
A clash between strikers and gendarmes
and cavalry Is reported from Clermont
Ferrand (Puy de DomeK It was riot at
tended with serious results.
From some mining centers It Is reported
,that some of the miners are likely to re
turn to work tomorrow, In spite of the de
cision of the congress to the contrary.
It Is reported here from Denaln (Depart
ment du Nord) that at a meeting of 2000
miners held there today It yvas voted to
continue the strike. Denaln Is being
patrolled by troops and Is quiet.
FOREIGN STOCK EXCHANGE
Berlin Disappointed Because Neve
York Didn't Boom.
BERLIN, Nov. 9. The bourse here ex
perienced considerable disappointment last
week because Wall street refused to boom
up on the result of the eleptions and--because
the Deutsche Bank's Increase of
capital was only $2,500,000, the bourse hav
ing expected an increase of $7,500,000. All
bank stocks rose strongly until the actual
figures of the Deutsche Bank's increase
were published on Friday, when sharp
reaction ensued. Yesterday almost all the
bank stocks closed lower than they did
the previous week.
Professional speculators were more act
ive last week and caused greater fluctua
tions In quotations than Is usual. Attempts
to entice outsiders to participate In trans
actions was a failure. The market gave
little attention to domestic, or foreign
loans and its chief activity was indus
trial shares, but in this department the
tendency was not uniform. Iron and coal
shares mostly declined several points. The
RWne Westphalia pig iron syndicate was
renewed yesterday.
It is now said that the (forthcoming mu
nicipal loan of Berlin will amount to $56,
250,000. London Waiting 6n Xevr York.
LONDON, Nov. 9. The general outlook
on the stock exchange last week was fair
ly encouraging, but practically no busi
ness was done. The American elections,
the Improved iinanclal situation in Wall
streets, and the excellent traffic reports
of home railroads were ail quoted by the
optimists as presaging a return of the
market's activity, but -the net result was
merely some small investment 'buying of
the best class of securities. The fact ls
the Immense amount of stocks of every
sort, which is carried on borrowed money,
hangs over the market and is only await
ing a slight improvement to take profits
and get clear. London wants New York
to start the upward movement; until this
is done, there will be little prospect of ex
citement here.
Money was fairly abundant last week,
rates tending to be lower.
TO EXAMINE TERRITORIES

CHICAGO, Nov. 9. Senators Beveridge,
of Indiana, Nelson, of Minnesota, Dilling

INDIAN SUPERSTITION.
I
Kill Epileptic Patient by Inches to
. Drive Out Demon.
TACOMA, Nov. 9. Dispatches from
Skagway and Juneau give detils of a hor
rible example, of witchcraft and supersti
tion In the Hoonah Indian village 40 miles
distant from Juneau. Though quiet and
peaceable t,he Hoonah Indians are very
superstitious, and nearly every year one
or more suffers death violently. Several
days ago the Indians took a man who was
believed to be possessed of the devil and
made him the victim of frightful atroci
ties. .His ears were cut off and his body
frightfully hacked in an- unsuccessful ef
fort to drive out the demon. The victim
was troubled, with epileptic fits, which
continued. He was finally buried alive
in the earth and his scalp cut off, inch by
inch: Officers have hurried to the scene
from Juneau on a special steamer.

LONDON'S PAWNBROKER.
The British "Uncle" Will Advance
More T&au Things Cost.
London Globe.
We Imagine that few, If -any, of our
readers are aware of what "mosklng" is,
since even so experienced a magistrate as
Mr. Shell was compelled yesterday to con
fess to entire Ignorance of both the word
and the practice which It represents.
Mosklng is professional pawning, and there
is perhaps no more remarkable calling pur
sued in all London. The ordinary citizen
whom stress of circumstances drives to
eee'k assistance from the poor man's bank
er never expects. to get the full value of
his pledge, and recognizes that the pawn
broker could not live If he did. But the
mosker looks not only for the value "of the
article, but for a profit pn what he1 paid
ior it, apd the amazing thing is that he
Sets it. There are, it appears. Jewelers
who make a specialty of supplying the
mosker with the articles he requires, and
who get up their goods so carefully as to
deceive even the very elect among
"uncles."
To such an extent had thla gone that one
lawyer yesterday described it as a "well
"inown custom of the trade," and certainly
the results must be satisfactory" to their
clients, for we find that the result of the
police inquiries Is that obtaining a living
by pawning these goods for more than has
been paid for them ls a practice which
quite extensively prevails. There is also
an added refinement, which Increases our
respect for the intellect 'though not for
the morals of the mosker. It seems that
It Is not professional to be contented with
the profit made out of the pawnbroker.
There must be another "turn" In the
transaction besides that! The mosker,
therefdre, who is really at the head of
his profession, first pawns for 10s that for
which he has given 5s, and then sells the
ticket to somebody else for 15s, alleging
that the pledge Is an unequaled bargain
which Is really worth 20s, and Which only
the avarice and obduracy of the pawn-

One of the clergymen who were present
at the opening of the General Theological
Seminary was speaking of the bashfulness
of the late Dean Hoffman.
"The dean," said the clergyman, "was
called upon to speak at a mass meeting
held In the Interests of a cause which re
ceived many benefactions from him. He
spoke briefly on the merits of the cause,
and then said, apologetically:
" 'I am not much of a speaker.
" 'Amen!' responded a Methodist brother
from the first row.
"The dean, somewhat disconcerted, con
tinued a while, and then said:
" 'I'll detain you only a moment longer.'
" 'Alleluia!' again broke in the man in
the front row. and the dean sat down very
red in the face, but he enjoyed it all huge
ly when he learned afterward that the man
in the front row was very deaf and had
interjected his approbation entirely on
faith, not on hearing."
