Fierce fighting, in which the police used their clubs freely and twice their revolvers, marked the opening of the State street cable line by the Chicago City railway yesterday. As far as can be ascer tained, nobody was seriously injured, although there were many broken heads among the rioters who came in contact with the clubs of the police. While the fighting was going on in the streets, the usual conferences were in progress and propositions and counter propositions . were passing back and forth. Late in the afternoon, it was said by Mayor Harrison, .. President Mahon, of the street car men, and the attorneys for both sides, that an agree ment had been reached, but little defi' nite information was known concerning its nature. All day long on State street the com pany was hampered by the work of the mob, which piled obstructions upon the tracks, drove pegs and spikes into the cable slot and cut trolley wires in many places. The Archer avenue line was badly damaged earlier in the day and required several hours' work by a strong force of repair men", who were heavily guarded by the police. No at tempt has been made to' run cars on this line since the commencement of the strike. In policing the four branches opened last week, as well as the State street line, patrolmen were stationed only at street intersections, except where trouble was most likely to occur. Fewer policemen were detailed to ride on the stlreet cars yesterday than dur ing last week. Five trains were put into operation on the State street cable line. Alter removing spikes from the cable slots at J Fifty-seventh and Fifty-first streets, the first train was blocked at Forty-first street by iron rails placed across the tracks. The crews began to remove the obstructions, when from , behind fences a volley of stones came. The police charged the rioters with revol vers drawn. A running fight ensued, the police firing upon the mob. By this time a mob collected about the cars, and another charge by the police was made upon them before the ob struction could be removed.

A semi official Russian agency has received from'Tokio ft report-toMbhe effectthat Japanese warships have been dis patched to prevent the Kussian war vessels', Tsarevitch and Baian, reach ing Port Arthur to join the Russian squardon there. Regarded as Significant. London, Nov. 26 The alarming re port from Tokio that Japanese war ves sels have been dispatched to intercept two Russian warships cannot be con firmed here. It is possible this report is connected with the statement of the Japanese journal, the Nagasaki Shimpo, which announced yesterday that a Japanese squadron of 12 vessels had left Sasebo for an unknown destination. The great railway merger formed by , . , bv the Russian semi-official agency is, however, regarded as signifi cant. Curiously enough, the Russian newspaper, Svet, a few days ago, ex pressed the belief that communications between Port Acrthur and Japan had already been interrupted. In Cardiff yesterday renewed -activity was reported on the part of the Russian and Japanese agents, with a view to se curing further shipments of coal.

Three hundred Moros are known to have been killed and many others were carried off dead or wounded, as a result of five days se vere fighting in Jolo between the Ameri- can troops under General Leonard Wood and the insurgents. Major H. L. Scott, of the fourteenth cavalry, and five American privates were wounded. General Wood landed near Siet Lake, in Jolo. November 12." The Moros were soon located, and fighting began immediately and continued until No vember 17. Major Scott was taking Panglima Has sen, the Moro leader, who had been tak en prisoner, to Jolo. While en route, Hassen asked to be allowed to see his family. His appeal was granted, and he thereupon led Major Scott into an ambush, . where the American detach ment was fired upon. Major Scott was shot in both hands. Hassen succeeded in escaping during this unexpected at tack, but is supposed to have been killed the following day. The fighting took 'place in a country covered with swamps and rocks. The Moros were driven across the country from Siet Lake to the town which- Has sen had made his Headquarters, and where it was reported the Moros were 2,000 strong. The rebel position was attacked in the flank by the American troops, who occupied the town and inflicted a loss of 50 killed on the Moros' side. Has sen with a small party, was sur rounded. The rest of 4he Moros went into the swamps out of which they were driven on November 16, leaving 76 dead behind them. On November 17 the American forces renewed the at tack on the retreating Moros, of whom 40 more were killed. The rebel forces have been literally destroyed by these operations.

Major Scott, assist ed Dy a lorce composed oi three com panies of the Seventeenth infantry, a platoon of Captain D. J. Rumbough's battery, and a troop of the Fourteenth cavalry. America's Influence With. Panama Be Exerted to This End. Washington, Nov. 25. The British government is showing f an interest in the fate of the bonds iscued by Colum bia and taken 'up by foreigners, mostly British and Dutch holders. Mr Raikes, the British charge here, had a half hour's talk today with Secretary Hay at the state department, and it believed this subject was touched upon. ' The position oi tne department in brief is that it cannot dictate to the new republic of Panaika what dispo sition shall be made of the money which is to be paid ov$r by the United States in consideration of canal rights, but it certainly holdst.it is only right and just that Panama, in concluding treaty of peace with Colombia, shall make provision for the assumption of a fair share of the national debt. So it is expected the moral force of the de- v - partment will be put forth m this di rection. ' . , . The state department has not yet been informed officially of the result of General Reyes' mission to the isthmus It is believed here that the principal purpose of the visit of General Reyes is to try to effect an adjustment of his country's troubles by securing for the Colombian government some share of the money which the United States, under the new treaty, will pay to Pan ama.

There was no oppor tunity to consult some of the Demo cratic senators who desire to speak on the bill, but it is not doubted that they will assent to the arrangement.' Itxtfif:y,0mjat the island of Pines to Cuba was today fav orably acted upon by the senate com mittee on foreign relations, and it will be favorably reported to the senate at the next executive session. The senate committee on foreign re lations today authorized a favorable re port on the bill giving effect to the Cuban reciprocity treaty. " .. AMERICA WAITS ON PANAMA. HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON Cabinet the STATE WILL LOSE HEAVILY. NECESSARY MONEY PUT UP. If Rejection Of Claim ' to Is Affirmed. Swamp Land I Financial Salem The rejection of the claim of the state of Oregon to 55,000 acres of the swamp land in Klamath marsh will, if affirmed by the sceretary of the interior, cut a big slice off the sum the state hoped to realize from the sale of this land. The state's claim was for 100,000 acres, and of this all but about 7,000 acres had been declared by the surveyor-general to be swamp land. The state's claim was based upon the swamp land grant of 1860. The Klam ath Indian reservation was created in 1864 and thealottments to the Indians were made within the last ten years xne oo,uuu acres proDaDly comprises the best of the swamp lands and if the title of the Indians should be finally confirmed, the remaining 38,000 acres which the state would receive, would be rendered practically worthless. Whether an appeal will be taken to the secretary of the interior has not been determined. General W. H. Odell was attorney for the state in the pre sentation of the state's claim to this land. He does not know the grounds upon which the decision of the assist ant commissioner of the general land office was based, but is very firmly of the opinion that the state's right to the land is superior to that of the Indians ine vaiue oi tne swamp lands on Klamath marsh has been estimated all the way from $100,000 to $1,000,000 Troubles of Oregon Electric Company Are Over. Baker City The Oregon electric company, which has been in financial trouble, will resume operations at once, The Eastern capitalists who are back of the enterprise have put up the neces? sary cash to discharge all the debts and dismiss the attachments suits which have been filed by creditors.

Frame, of Portland, who secured valuable water rights on Eagle creek, i i ii i , . vousiueraDie worK was aone last sum mer, but early in the fall there was trouble over financial matters, and Frame resigned as general" manager. Since then creditors have attached the Decides She Must Ratlfv canal Treaty First. Washington, Nov. 24. Several sub jects of interest and importance were considered at today's meeting of th. cabinet, which was attended by every member. Matters relating to the situ ation in Panama were the most import ant topics discussed. "The and Secretary Hay have decided, and the decision meets the approval of t.h cabinet, that the existing government of Panama must ratify the canal treatv before action relating to its ratification by the senate is taken. The adminis tration has determined that there shall be no repetition of the failure of Co lombia to complete the ratification nf the treaty after final action had been taken by the United States senate. The treaty will be placed in the hands of the Panama commissioners now in Washington and by them it will be taken to Panama. This government, it is anticipated." will ratify it promptly. It is extracted that it will be returned to Washington bearing the seal of the Panama govern ment early in December. ; President j LFiviniiT auu n ... all work ceased.
