EVERY OFFER IS REJECTED
Delegation Headed by Genera! Reyes
Departs-Request to Land for a
Tour of Colon Has Been
Cheerfully Granted.
COLON, Nov. 20. The Panama Com
mission conferred at length today -with
the Colombian Commissioners, headed
by General Reyes, which arrived here
yesterday from Savanilla on the French
steamer Canada. The Panamans re
fused every overture, declaring their
position to be irrevocable, and declared
that they would not receive any fur
ther commissioners from Colombia un
less they recognized the Republic of
Panama.
The conference was continued informally
until 3 o'clock In the afternoon, -when a l
document was drawn up and signed by all
the Commissioners, setting forth the de
tails of the conference.
General Holguln, of the Colombian Com
mission, asked Anally if the Colombians
could do anything whatever to regain the
isthmus, and Sen5r Arias answered It was
decidedly and absolutely Impossible. He
however expressed the desire of the isth
mians for close and friendly relations with
Colombia. The questions of Colombian
recognition of the" Republic of Panama
and Colombia's possible equity In the'
canal, railroad and other Interests on the
isthmus were not broached.
The Colombian Commissioners asked per-
mission to disembark for a promenade
through the streets of Colon. Governor
Melendez communicated the request to the
Junta, and it was promptly granted. Then
the Panamaian and Colombian Commis
sioners left the Canada together, and, arm
in arm, they walked to the end of the
dock, where 100 soldiers of the new re
public formed in two lines and presented
arms. As the Commissioners passed
through the lines drums were beaten and
bugles sounded. The members of the
party then seated themselves in rickety
carriages and drove through Colon un
guarded, returning to the Canada after
an hour. In every way the Colombian
Generals were treated as distinguished
foreigners.
General Reyes 13 what is termed locally
"president In campaign of Colombia." The
power with which he Is vested was con
ferred on him by President Marroquln.
Reyes Discourages War.
During the v trip down the Magdalena
River General Reyes was everywhere re
ceived with enthusiasm. The people told
him they were ready and willing to enlist
In a fight for the recovery of the Isthmian
territory. General Reyes always discour
aged this warlike attitude, declaring it
better to act through diplomatic channels,
which he told the people was the purpose
of his mission to the isthmus.
It is reported on good authority that Gen
eral Reyes countermanded propositions
which were being made'in Buena Ventura
and Barranquilla for a march on the
Isthmus. The General no doubt recognized
the futility of any such attempt, in view
of the protection given by the United
States to the new republic
General Reyes Is today the strongest
End most intelligent feature in the Re
public of Colombia. He Is very popular,
and it Is believed that the course of the
government of Colombia In the Isthmian
matter will be very greatly Influenced by
whatever attitude he may decide to take.
His fellow-Commissioners and other mem
bers of his party believe that the General
Is inclined to accept the situation.
Excitement Is Subsiding.
The excitement at Barranquilla and Car
tagena and along the river is subsiding.
There was great excitement, however, dur
ing the passage of the Canada, as the peo
ple believed Reyes and his companions
were bent on a warlike mission. There is
more excitement today at Barranquilla
than anywhere else, but it Is reported the
people everywhere are beginning to view
the situation philosophically.
The reports emanating from Buena Ven
tura of the conditions In the Departments
of Cauca and Antloqula appear to have
been exaggerated. The last reports from
these departments do not bear out the
sensational stories. Senor Buscamente Is
the Liberal leader and Senor Osplna Is the
Conservative leader of Antloqula. There
has been a limited discussion on the part
of the Liberal and other discontents in
Antloqula and Cauca of inaugurating a
revolutionary movement. Such talk may
be expected at any time in almost any
department of Colombia. The Liberal rev
olutionary party Is still strong, and Pan
ama's success was found to stimulate such
talk.
DANGER OF SHIPS BEING SEIZED
Colombia Has Designs on Steamers
for Use as Transports.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. The Navy De
partment today made public the report of
Commander John Hubbard, commanding
the Nashville, on the recent operations of
the men under his command at Colon
since the revolution on the Isthmus of
Panama was started. These reports cover
the threatened firing on the city of Colon
by the Colombian troops under Colonel
Torres, which was prevented by Comman
der Hubbard, and the arrival and subse
quent departure of the Colombian gun
boat Cartagena with 400 or 500 troops
aboard. The statements made by Com
mander Hubbard gave a detailed official
description of what already has been told
in the Associated Press dispatches. In
concluding his report, Commander Hub
bard Incloses a letter, dated November 9,
from Commander Diehl, of the Boston, at
Panama, who repeats the substance of an
Interview he had the previous day with
the British Vice-Consul, Mr. Rhodes, and
the agent of the Pacific Steam Navigating
Company, Mr. Peebles, regarding the
British ships Manlvi. and Quito, then at
Buena Ventura. The British VIce-Consul
expressed the belief that there was danger
of these vessels being seized by the Co
lombians to be used as transports, and If
they started with troops under convoy of
the Colombian gunboat Bogota the Pro
vincial Goernment at Panama would
send out gunboats and sink them. Com
mander Diehl adds:
"I told him to keep me informed of the
movements of the steamers and I would
attend to the matter."
Commander Diehl says he requested
Senor Obarrlo, who controls both the
army and the navy for the Provincial
Government of Panama, not to move his
gunboats for any hostile purpose. This
was acceded to by Senor Obarrlo, who at
the same time pointed out If the Colom
bian forces effected a landing at some
distance from Panama, say In Parlta
Bay, at the villages of ChlrlquI or Toma
slllo, which he thought probable, it would
result In a long campaign to dislodge
them, with possible defeat in the end.

bian Consul-General at Galveston, advis
ing him of the arrival at that point of

treaty.
German Ships Were Not Stopped.
"WASHINGTON, Tov. 20. The Navy De
partment received a cablegram from Ad
miral Coghlan, at Colon, replying to a
question whether there was any truth
that the German steamers Markomanla
and Scotia had been stopped at Colon by
American men-of-war. Admiral Coghlan
stated the Markomanla stopped off
Colon, en route to Carthagena, to land
passengers, but was not Interfered with.
The Scotia arrived about sunset, three
days overdue, and was informed that no
armed force would be permitted to land,

formation of New Granada and while'
what was known as "Greater Colombia"
included only the Colombia, of today,
Venezuela and Ecuador. The Isthmus was
separated and was governed from Spain
directly.
It Is probable this fact will be advanced
as a reason for the denial of the request
expected to be forthcoming from the for
eign bondholders.
ECUADOR WORKING FOR GAIN
Independence of Panama Causes Her
to Try to Sell Islands.
PARIS, Nov. 20. Agents of the South,
American Republic of Ecuador, who are
at present in Europe trying to sell the
Galapagos Islands, are not discouraged
by the rebuff with which they have met
in France. They have now gone to Ber
lin to offer the group to the Kaiser. They
emphasize the advantages a continental
nation would obtain by having a coaling
station and other rights near the new
canal. The assured completion of the
Panama Canal is also offered by Ecua-
dor as an obvious pretext forthe reopen
ing of their offer to sell the islands.
No mention of the Monroe Doctrine Is
made by the agents. They even assume
a lofty tone, as If Ecuador did not mean
to vacate entirely Its sovereign rights
even should a sale be effected.
At the Ecuador Legation this morning
the officials declared their government had
not Informed them that such an enter
prise was no foot, but asserted the gov
ernment of Ecuador was not likely to
have acted without overtures on the part
of some continental power. It Is under
stood the price of the Islands has been
nearly doubled since the Independence of
Panama has been assured.
Official Denial Is Made.
GUAYAQUIL, Nov. 20. It Is denied in
the official press that Ecuador intends to
sell the Galapogas Islands, as announced
from Paris.
Americans No Longer in Danger.
COLON, Nov. 20. The steamer Canada
brought no mails from Savanilla, and
newspapers and letters from the east are
at this time difficult to abtaln. Reports
from various sources, however, confirm,
.previous statements that the 'excitement
and resentment consequent to the loss of
the isthmus Is subsiding, and that Ameri
cans are not In danger.
The Canada sailed late this afternoon
for Port Llmon. General Reyes and
other Colombian commissioners were on
board.

tion with Jlmlnez, started the revolu

Exports for Last Month Averaged
Two Millions Per Day.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. Two million
a day la a snug sum for the total receipts
from the sale of a single agricultural
product In a single country, even such a
country as the United States. That Is
the flguro shown by the report of the De
partment of Commerce and Labor,
through its Bureau of Statistics, as the
value of the cotton exported from the
United States In the month of October,
1903.
The preliminary statement of the bu
reau for the October exports shows the
value of cotton exported In the month of
October to be jeO.2S3.412, against $42,000,000
In October, 1S02; $46,000,000 In October, 1901,
and 560,474,437 In October, 1900. The total
quantity exported In October, 1903, as
shown by this preliminary statement, was
594,540,872 pounds, being an average price
of 10.1 cents per pound.
This figure of 550,000.000 receipts for cot
ton In a single month is not equaled in
the history of cotton exports except In the
month of October, 1900, when the total
value of cotton exported was 560,474,437.
Even the figures of 560,283,412 for the
month of October, 1903, are subject to a
slight prospective Increase, as this pre
liminary statement of the Bureau of Sta
tistics does not include the figures of cer
tain distant ports through which small
quantities of cotton are exported.
It should not be understood from the
foregoing statement that the value of cot
ton exports of the United States averages
52,000,000 per day the year around, al
though they have averaged 52,000,000 per
day during the month of October. Taking
the entire year. It may be said, however,
that the value of cotton exports now av
erages 51,000,000 per day for each business
day of the year. In the 12 months ending
with October, 1903, the total value of cot
ton exported was 5320,403,314, and In the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1903, was $316,
1S0.429. These figures, either those of the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1903, or those" of the
12 months ending October 31, 1903, show a
larger total (that of value received for
cotton) than In any preceding year In the
history of the country. In only two fiscal
years In the history of the country has the
value of cotton exports exceeded 5300,000,
000, namely, 1901, 5313,673,443, and 1903, 5316,
180,429. Prior to 1S60 the exports of cotton
had never reached as much as $200,000,000
in value.
From 1SS6 to 1900 thej' ranged between
5200,000.000 and $300,000,000. and In 1901, for
the first time, passed the $300,000,000 line,
being as above indicated, 5313,673,443; in
1902 they dropped to 5290.65L819. and In 1903
were 5316,180.429, while In the 12 months
ending with October, 1903, the total Is 5320,
406,314. In quantity the figures of 1903 do
not reach high-water mark, being for the
fiscal year 3.543,043,022 pounds, against
3,850,264,205 In 1898, the year of the largest
export In quantity. The Increased price,
however, has resulted In the facts above
stated, a greater total value of cotton ex
portatlons In 1503 than In any preceding
year.
The total value of cotton and Its prod
ucts exported from the United States ln
the fiscal year 1903 was $376,767,645, or an
average of more than 51.000,000 per day.

Murdering the Pug.
Washington Post.
I'l suppose I'm a murderess at heart,
though I didn't succeed in accomplishing
my fell purpose," says a woman who lives
In an apartment Tiouse In Seventeenth
street "You know, I've been sharing my
quarters till recently with Amanda.
Amanda Is a dear, good soul; but Amanda
will keep a pug. I've argued with her,
but when a woman once gets the pug
habit she Is beyond the voice of reason.
I've tried to put my thought on that dog
and kill him that way, but he isn't that
sort of dog that thought can get a hold
on. I made up my mind long ago that I'd
have to kill him, but I wasn't going to
do it In any open, brutal way. I was
going to remove him by some subtle, ar
tistic means that Amanda could never
find out about. I read once that certain
lovely flowers are swift and deadly poisons
If you eat them, so one day I bought $2
worth of lilies of the valley, for they
are said to be as fatal as toadstools. The
dog didn't want to eat them, but I knew
he could never die a more poetical death,
and I insisted. I wadded up the flowers
and poked them Into his works. It was
a fearful Job, but I did It. Then I went
for a walk. Kill him? Why those lilies
of the valley didn't even give him indi
gestion. Lilies of the valley may be death
dealing poison to humans, but when it
comes to pugs, a meat-ax Is handler and
cheaper."

The
FOE OF THE SHIP SUBSIDY
HANNA BIDS ITS FRIENDS WORK
ON THE HOUSE.
Senate Is All Right, He Declares In
an Address at a New York
Banquet.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20. Speaking tonight
at the annual banquet of .the Society of
the Naval. Architects and Marine Engi
neers, Senator Hanna referred to the ship
ping bill, which, he asserted, failed in the
upper House, "for reasons I need not men
tion." Senator Hanna then referred to
the Ohio campaign which has Just ended.
The Senator declared that during that
campaign he made the shipping bill an
issue, and every where It was well re
ceived. "I did .this," he said, "that the
public might know the bill -was not dead.
I looked up it as an educational campaign.
The farmers of the West do not know
their interest In this measure. I have
never met a man who, when his Interest
In this measure was explained to him care
fully, did not admit his mistake. The
charge was made against me by the oppo
sition in Ohio that I supported this bill. I
told my constituents that If they sent me
back to the Senate I would try again to
pass the shipping bill, and that I would
keep on trying until I got It through."
"One of the most Important things we
need today," he continued, "Is an auxiliary
to our Navy. Those of us who had expe
rience In the Spanish "War discovered this.
Our farmers did not know or appreciate
our need in this direction. I told them If
there should be a war between .this and
any other important maritime country
their grain would rot in their granaries
without an auxiliary to our Navy. Mr.
Grlscom had been a partner In this crime
with me. He has been with me In trying
to stick our arms up to the shoulder in
the public treasury at least, so we have
been accused. But public opinion will set
tle all questions, and public opinion will

Washing the Bank.
Pekin (111.) Tribune.
"While washing a pair of stockings at the
Pekin Steam Laundry last week one of
the girls made a find when she turned the
hose not a hole in the heel, but a wad
of water-soaked something that looked
like money. It was dried and when
stralgtened out proved to be a Jo bill. The
money was still usable and was returned
to its owner. It is a well-known fact
that Anany ladles use their hose for
pocketbooks, but this Ts the first time

The better clas3 of druggists, everywhere, are rrjen of scientific attainments and high integrity,
who devotetheir lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and
purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions and
scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but
always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines.
They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes
all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and
best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances.
The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits
conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest
reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of
Pigs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it-gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they
are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest
remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full
name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package.
They know that in pases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and
of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or
over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as
Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction.
Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the
immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are
individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles
of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate
to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations
sometimes have the name" Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern,
or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of
the Company California Fig Syrup Co: printed on the front of the package. The imitations
should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations
they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes
off on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which
does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrnp Co. printed on the front of the package,
he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his
establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and
and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of
physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness.
Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand
for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every
where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions
existitis necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return
.any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company
California Fig Syrup dr. printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the
article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class ot

Athletes Built Their Own Clubhouse.
New York Herald.
Compelled to vacate their premises, oc
cupied since 1877, at the Junction of Sixty
sixth street and the East river, the mem
bers of the Pastime Athletic Club have
adopted a novel method to obtain a new
home. The land where their track and Its
adjoining dwellings are located has been
purchased by John D. Rockefeller and the
club was forced to find new quarters. On
the plot where athletic records have been
broken will be erected an institution de
voted to scientific research.

tained a lease of a plot of ground between
East Seventy-eighth and Seventy-ninth
streets and between Avenue A and Ex
terior street. Here a six-lap track will be
laid out on the westerly portion of tho
grounds and a one-story building will bo
erected at the easterly end for a club
house. With not a rich treasury there was
a serious problem to build a new home
and the novel plan now In operation wa3
evolved at a recent meeting. Each of the
450 members was assessed a small sum. for
the building fund or could cancel his ob

that the walls of the new building of brick
are nearly completed to the top of tho
window frames.
There are many artisans of the various
trades in the membership, and spectators
have paused and wondered at the presence
of well dressed men on Saturday half
holidays spreading mortar and following
the upward trend of the plumb lino with
bricks, which also have been contributed.
The work so far has been that of masons,

GRAET TJNDEE SULTAN.
He Protects Those "Caught With the
Goods."
World's Work.
While the Sultan himself likes to bestow
his benefits upon the just and the unjust,
the small official to whom he delegates his
power Is likely to have more eagerness for
"graft" than for justice. And the Sultan
Is as true as Tammany to any servant of
his who makes the mistake of being
"found with the goods on him."
The case of the Kurd Moussa Bey Is an
Instance. He was recently mentioned In
the newspapers as having escaped from
the Hejaz (the Mohammedan Holy Land)
In Arabia. Moussa Bay was a Kurdish
robber, promoted to be Governor of a
small district in the eastern part of Tur
key. There his crimes became so grave
that the British Government howled for
justice. The trial was held In Constanti
nople and 40 or 50 witnesses were brought
500 miles to testify. Proof was made that
he had committed half a dozen murders
and a rape. But on the last day an aide-de-camp
of the Sultan sat by the side of
the Judges. The court acquitted the pris
oner! The man would have gone free
because of his devotion to the Sultan, If
European powers had not forced his ban
ishment to the Hejaz for life in disregard
of the sentence of the court.
