FIRST SHOWING WAS POOR Owner and Jockey Are Called to the Stand on Conclusion of Six Furlongs Event-Upsets Are Frequent. SAN I7RANCISCO, Nov. 1& Upsets Tvere frequent today at Oakland, where the weather was rainy and the track was somewhat slow. The most surprising vic tory was that of Meehanus In the' third race at six furlongs. Saturday he -was a pronounced favorite, but made a poor showing. Today, played from 12 to 1 to 4 to 1. he had all his speed; and won from Blue Miracle and Tower of Candles, the 7 to 10 favorite. The Judges called Owner Frank Doss and Jockey Lee Jackson before them for an explanation. Doss said he bet on the horse Saturday, but that he ran unbacked by him today. He thought the going made a difference. The officials were satisfied and dismissed the matter. Summary: Six furlongs, selling Royal F. won. Man of Honor second, Egg Nogg third. Time, 1:16.

NEW YORK, Nov. 18. Fred Taral, Henry Spencer and Eugene Snedeker, American jockeys, who have been riding in Turope for six months, have returned. All speak In praise of their treatment abroad. "I established a record while I was over there," said Taral. "I won 101 races out of"3G5in cwhieh I rode. That is better than any other jockey has ever done there. All my riding was done in Germany, Austria and Hungary. I rode for Andrew yon Pechy, Baron Utchrltz and Baron Springer. The first day I rode I won four races. The conditions in Eu rope are entirely different from those in this country. The Jockeys are all quiet, gentlemanly men, and after a day's work they get on good clothes and can be seen with their families. There is none of them hanging around disreputable plaecs as there is here. A jockey who is seen going into questionable places is warned by other Jockeys to keep away from such resorts. If he is known to frequent such places he Is ruled off the' course." CATHOLIC 'VARSITIES TO MEET Columbia and Mt. Angel Teams to Contest Saturday. The athletic rivalry that exists between the two Catholic Institutions, Columbia University and Mount Angel College, will receive an extra impetus in the game be tween their respective football teams at Mount Angel next Saturday.

Columbia has become so powerful of late that the defeat of their academic team by the Portland Academy for the school championship ran kles in their breasts, and they expect to line up their 'varsity eleven, which differs from the academic eleven by two or three men, against even sopowerful a team as the Multnomah team' before the season is out. But they are not bragging of such an apparently presumptuous move until they meet their Mount Angel cousins and see what they can do with them. Since the train service to Mount Angel does not supply a down train in the even ing the Columbia boys are going to hire a special train to await their leisure, and return thence to Portland the night of the came. BETTER THAN EXPECTED. Eugene Football Players Make Mult nomah Team Anxious. Captain McMillan, of the Multnomah football team, is looking for a hard game with Eugene on Thanksgiving day. Earlier in the season the reports from the State University merely left an impres sion that Eugene was to have a fast middle-weight eleven, but the Washington game last Saturday showed the stuff tho Oregon players were made of, and every one, including the Multnomah team, real ize that they will put up Just as fine a game here Thanksgiving. As a conse quence the Multnomah team has gone into harder training than at any timo this season, having even decided to hold secret practice for the development of plays, to prevent their opponents from knowing all their formations and being prepared to meet them. McMillan does not express himself as at all over confident, but, on the contrary. Is urging his men to practice harder with tho purpose of de veloping a more efficient interference for the man with the ball. This will be tho more necessary, as two of the strongest and best football players on the team will not play in tho Thanks giving game. Martin Pratt, who has out played every man llned-up against him this year as well as In all his former career, will not be able to remain in town next week, and McMillan will have to play his position at tackle himself. Marlon Dolph will also be out of the game. Dolph coached the Eugene team last year, and on that account he does not wish to enter the game. It is not likely, however,' that Eugene would pro test him, but out of a feeling of delicacy more than anything else, he will not play against the men to whom he taught the game. The absence of thesa two men will cause a serious weakness In Multnomah's back field. Corbett, who will play one of the halves, runs well with the ball on8 fol lows his interference, but he needs a heavy, experienced man to play the other half. With Dolph absent and with Mc Millan in tho line, the team, has not such a man. Kerrigan Is a fast half, but he has hardly recovered enough from his broken ankle to rush the line, and Jor dan will probably bo needed at end. These men are both light and Cook at fullback is not a heavy man. Murphy at quarter strengthens tho team a great deal by his snappy playing, but he cannot give it weight in bucking the line. However, there is enough new material turning out for practice so that a heavier back field may "be produced without taking Mc Millan from the line. From the 'present outlook, however, the loss of Pratt and Dolph will be a serious injury. RESTS FOR HARVARD GAME. Foster Rockwell, of Portland, Injured In Yale-Princeton Contest. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 18. (Spe cial.) Foster H. Rockwall, of Portland, Or., quarterback on the Yale 'varsity eleven has been sent to tho home of De Witt Cochrane, on the Hudson, to re cuperate and get Into condition for the great struggle with Harvard this com ing Saturday. He has been in rather bad shapo since the game with Prince ton, when he received a serious injurs' during the first half. The coaches did not remove him from the game, as they should, and he is now paying for their poor Judgment. Hogan, the star tackle, accompanies Rockwell. O'Brren-SullIvan Fight to Draw.

Satisfaction is expressed that a difficult crisis has thus far been settled without troublesome consequences, the- general belief here being that the Republic of Colombia will bow to the inevitable and the powers will soon follow the example of France and recognize the Republic of Panama, The Standard regards the situation as a practical extension of American terrl- tory. since the United States obtains ef- fectlve rights of sovereignty in the lsth- mus, and the paper welcomes the result" ( as a "distinct gain for civilization, good , order and the promotion of commerce." The Colombian bondholders In England I are endeavoring to bring pressure on the I sovernment to Induce it to decline recog- i nition of the now republic, unless Pana ma assumes an equitable proportion of the Colomlban debt. There is much speculation as to whether the building of the canal will prove a i nrofitaLfle transaction" for the United States, inasmuch as its cost will be enor mous, and will have to compete with sev eral railways. The strategic and com mercial importance of the canal Is not de nied, especially If, as expected, it is to be constructed for men-of-war. The ef fect of the new condition of affairs on the policy of the United States toward the Central and South American republics is much discussed. MAY THROW SOP TO BOGOTA. Part of Price of Canal Concession May Go to Colombia. WASHINGTON, Nov. IS. It Is learned here that the Bogota situation has as sumed a critical phase as far as relations between the United States and Colombia are concerned. Minister Beaupre on the 10th. Inst, was pressed strongly by the Colombian government to know whether the United States Intended to recognize the republic of Panama, It is understood that the request was in such shape as to constitute a menace in the event that the recognition had been extended. Mr. Beaupre was Instructed by the govern ment again to Inform the Colombian gov ernment that such recognition had been extended to the republic of Panama by the United States, but simply In the in terest of humanity and civilization and in expectation of solemn treaty obligations binding upon the United States. He was also instructed to tender to the Colom bian government the good offices of tho United States to effect a settlement of the differences between Colombia and Panama. The issue Is awaited with some anxiety here. Mr. Beaupre, as has been stated, has been granted leave of absence by the State Department, and It remains for him to determine when ho shall avail himself of the leave. As an earnest desire of the State Department to continue on friendly terms with the Colombian government. It is pointed out that without bringing di rect pressure to bear, the department is disposed to do everything in its power to save any equities Colombia may have in the Isthmus. Thus it is recognized as entirely proper that some part of the 510,000.000 which the United States Gov ernment is to pay over to Panama upon the ratification of the treaty should bo allowed by the government of Panama to Colombia In payment of Panama's share of the Colombian national debt. It is understood, however, that the Urtited States Government would not pffer an affront to the Colombian dignity and honor by tendering directly a sum of money in the nature of a bribe as a salve for the separation of Panama, and while It could not specify in Its agreement with Panama that any part of tho $10,000,000 was to bo diverted to Colombia, there would be no concealment of the hopes of the United States In that matter. The present intention of the United States Government is to include In the new treaty provision for the payment of $10, 000,000 to the republic of Panama and to no other government. Unless Dr. Herran, the Colombian Charge, receives word from his govern ment within a reasonble time, he will close the Colombian legation here. HOLDS AMERICA BROKE WORD Colombians Also Accused Out Troops of Treachery. NEW YORK, Nov. 19. In response to a request telegraphed to Bogota with a view to ascertaining the attitude of the pres3 and people of Colombia concerning tho Isthmian situation, the following dispatch, delayed in transmission, has been re ceived: "Bogota, Nov. 1C The Colombian peo ple protest and appeal to the American people against the conduct of the Govern ment presided over by Mr. Roosevelt.

The disap proval of the Hay-Herran treaty was due to constitutional obstructions which can be legallV' removed by the Colombian peo ! pie, and which were made worse by the diplomatic discourtesies of the Depart ment of State and Its representatives here. "The American Government, through Secretary Hay, contrary to the practices of right and international law, immediate ly recognized the so-called government suddenly arisen In Panama from a coup de'etat, accomplished by acts, of treason and by the bribing of the troops. "The American armed forces treacher- I ously prevented the suppressing of the rebel movement by the loyal Colombian army. The American Government Is also j aiding to despoil Colombia of another part of its valuable territory, besides that of Panama, and, forgetful of Us Immense power, is therefore inciting against us the enmities and covetousness of other na- tlons. "The American people must decide be- tween the sacred rights of Colombia and the scandalously notorious Interests of the Panama Canal Company. "It Is not conceivable that the great nation to whom the world owes so many conquests and liberal doctrines in the field of International law should forget them when dealing with a weak and friendly country that has no other means of of fense than its solemn protest to the Amer ican people. It is not conceivable that such a nation should adopt such a high handed policy of vandalism. "To the Associated Press of the United States, In behalf of the Associated Press of Colombia. EL NEUVO TIEMPO." WANT TO JOIN PANAMA. " Colombian Departments Make Known Desire for Separation. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. The State Department late this afternoon receU'ed advices that the Department of Cauca and Antloquoia, of Colombia, are seek ing to separate from that government and are soliciting admission Into the Re public of Panama. The following cablegram has been re ceived from Rear-Admjrai Walker, dated Colon, S:45 P. M., yesterday: "Made a ceremonious visit to the Junta. Was cordially received. A. com mittee from the Department of, Carta gena, arrived on the German mall steam er at Colon Sunday night and tried to arrange an amicable settlement with Panama. Did not land, but were enter tained on the flagship. A committee from the Junta met them this morning and informed them it was too late. The gov ernment of Panama is Independent, and will not retrace Its steps. The Carta gena committee leaves tonight on the' Royal mall steamer. The isthmus is perfectly quiet with no appearance of trouble anywhere." M. Jusserand, tho French Ambassador here, called at the State Department to day and notified Secretary Hay that the French government had fully and formal ly recognized the new Republic of Pan ama. Other nations are expected to fol low the same course. Several of them already have opened business relations with tho government of Panama. SECRET MOVES IN COLOMBIA. Military Movements Going On, but News Is Suppressed. NEW YORK, Nov. 18. Cabling from Bogota, capital of Colombia, under date of November 13, the Herald's correspond ent says: General Rafael Reyes left Honda today for Barranqullla. He has been consulting with the government re garding the necessity of dividing his re sponsibilities with the Colombian army and in solving the great actual problem of the presidency by designating Nicolas Esqucna, Liberal, for the presidency, and Joaquin Velez, Conservative, for the vice presidency. The Municipal Council of Bogota has of fered $500,000 to head a national patriotic subscription. Great military movements are going on, and the most supreme moments in Colom bia's history are coming. The French steamer due at Colon tomorrow is expect ed to bring Important news from Bar ranqullla respecting the situation there. A strict censorship has been exercised over all messages from that port, and it Is be lieved that there is trouble of some sort which Colombia desires to keep secret. Important events are anticipated between Venezuela and Colombia. It is reported here that President Castro may take ad vantage of the present situation to extend Venezuela's territory beyond tho Orinoco. PANAMA HAD ASSURANCES.

The question of possible annexation to the United States had not yet been talked about." "The sentiment of the people of Pana ma," Mr. Boyd added, "Is to make the isthmus what it seems destined to be from Its geographical position, and to place it where it can perform most effi ciently Its mission in the interest of prog ress and civilization and become what it has been intended to be a link binding to- gether the two Americas and a gateway between two worlds. Thebuilding of the canal now lies with the United States." ENVOYS FROM COLOMBIA. Will Ask America to Rescind Action Recognizing Panama. GALVESTON. Tex., Nov. IS.

In response to a request for the attitude of the 'government of Guatemala toward the new Republic of Panama, President Cabera has cabled the Herald as follows: "In Guatemala the recognition of the Republic of Panama as a nation by the United States Is regarded as a matter wholly within its rights.

Several municipal ities of the Republic of Panama are fol lowing the example of Panama in de claring Dr. Amador their "favorite son." His great popularity and prestige among all classes make his friends believe that he will be the first President of Panama. The Junta has appointed Bellcario Por ras to be confidential agent of Panama to Nicaragua, Honduras, Gautemala and Salvador.

Tho Colombian government Is said to be considering a land Invasion of the Isthmus." Admiral Glass is expected to send a ship to Buena"Ventura if, in his judgment, the situation warrants It, and he will be com municated with to that effect. Colombia's ,Best Country. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. No surprise is expressed here over the reports that these departments are making an effort to align themselves with the Republic of Panama, Tho two departments named, and also that of Bolivar, are the most prosperous In the' whole Colombian ter ritory. They contribute tho greater por tion of the revenues for the Federal treasury, that of Antioquia alone paying about one-third of the entire amount. N The Antioquians are known as the Yan kees of Colombia, and are progressive and business-like people. For a long time there has been dissatisfaction and dis content among the people of these de partments over the management of af fairs by tho politicians at Bogota. The Department of Cauca will benefit more largely than that of any other ex cept Panama from the construction of a canal across the Isthmus. Not Yet Recognized by France. PARIS, Nov. 18. M.

Tragedy in the North End Which Is Likely ta Prove Fatal. F. L. Kipper, a runner for Larry Sul livan's, boarding-house, was shot through the head last night by an unknown man in the 'Paris house, in the Tenderloin district. Those who were in the house declare there was no provocation for the shoot ing. As soon as the shot was fired the stranger fled down the hall and made his escape. The police have an accu rate description of the man, and offi cers of the different boats have been warned to look out for him. Kipper's condition was very critical at 3 o'clock this morning. Tho bullet en tered through the upper part of his nose, but did not penetrate the skull. From a hasty examination. It was thought the ball entered the brain, but no doctor's testimony was had on the subject. Although the. shooting was reported to the police station shortly after 2 o'clock and two doctors were Immediately noti fied, no medical assistance had arrived by 3 o'clock, when Sergeant Hogaboom, In charge, ordered the man removed to the hospital. The exact cause of the shooting seems to be a mystery. People who saw it de clare the man must have been longing for a chance to take a human life. He was in a room with one of the wo men and was buying some drinks. Sud denly he commenced to abuse her, and she rang the "trouble" bell. The man ager rushed to her rescue, and close be hind him came Kipper. Not a word was exchanged between them: not a threat passed from either man. No sooner did ho see tho men coming toward the room than ho raised the revolver which he held in his hand and fired. It is thought he fired at tho manager and accidentally hit Kipper. The man Is described as of medium height and medium build. He is an old man, probably 50 years of age. He wore at tho time of the shooting a slouch hat and a long overcoat. During the evening a younger man accompanied him. but neither of them has been seen since the shooting. The victim was taken Into one of the rooms, where his friends did everything possible to add to his comfort. As every effort to raise a doctor was futile, it was impossible to determine the extent of his Injuries. He was taken in the patrol wagon to St- Vincent's Hospital. Kip per is well known in Portland, and has many friends. "If I could get the man that shot me," he declared last night, "I woulA not care." LAWYER UNDER A CLOUD.

Corbett dished up a swell menu, and there was only one team at the table for dessert. He held the Browns to six scattered hits and to three runs. Butler was streaky, and eliminating the fatal second twirled a satisfactory game. His support was good, but he was unable to overcome the early lead which the Orange Grove team, annexed with four smashes before the game was 15 minutes old. Cor bett started out In the first inning like a hurricane, placing the ball anywhere but near the plate. Later ho soaked one Into Butler, and to show there was no slight Intended shot a swift one into Nadeau. After that he settled down-. He was sure, and with the bases occupied was at his best. A pretty exhibition of team work was given by Wheeler, Raymond and Dil lon, who relieved the play, which other wise lacked snap.
