Colon, Nov. lfi. Cutters from tho
American warships hero were dis
patched this morning to stop the Ger-

toward tho harbor. It was thought tho
Markomannia was coming from a Co
loinDlan port, but It apiiears that she
had been chartered at Boons del Torro
to bring tho Alcalde ot that injrt to
Colon. There was a big scare at Bocas
del Terro on the receipt of the news via

Missouri Qrand Jury Sends In Pour In

Jefferson City, Mo., Nov. 17. The
Cole countv grand jury, which has

lias made its final report, returning 100
indictments, but it is not made known
as to the number that are for boodling.
It is stated, however, that four indict

tions that he accepted a railroad pass,
accepted a bribe for dismissing prose

Attorney Stone has given out a state

Labor flakes
Comparisons.
Washington, Nov. 10. The bureau
of labor has issued a bulletin on the
cost ot living of workmen's families,
showing that of 2,507 families in 33
states, from which data was obtained,
the average income per family was
(827.19; average expenditure for all
purposes, (703.54; averago expend!
ture per family for fowl, (320.90; aver
age size of families, 3.51 persons. The
last figure is above the averago of pri
vate families in the whole country, as
shown by the census of 1900. The food
expense Is more than 42 per cent of
the expenditure for all purposes.
An extended investigation covering
the years 189U-1HU2 shows that the cost
of food reached its highest in 1892, the
average then being 10.9 per cent above
the averago for the decade 1800-1899
and an increase of 1C.1 per cent com
pared with 1890, the year ot lowest
prices. It is announced as a conserva
tive conclusion that tho increase in the
cost of living, as a whole, in 1002,
when compared with the year of lowest
prices, was not over lfl.l per cent, tho
figure given as the increased cost of
food, as shown by this investigation
This assumes, of course, always tho
purchase of the same articles and the
same quantities in years of low prices,
low wages and more or less irregular
employment, as in years of higher
prices, higher wages and steady employ
ment.
STRIKERS IN RIOT.

companies In Chicago. All nlong tho
Hues", wherever cars were started,

straights on the crews, beginning at
dawn of day, and continuing as long as
tno cars remained on the tracks.
The tie-up was made complete. A
number of cars were wrecked, nnd that
no person was killed Is no fault of tho
rioters. One man's back was broken,
aim die first shot of the strike was
fired nt Wcntworth avenue and West
Sixty-ninth street, where a mob of sev
eral hundred persona tried to hold up
a train.
Derogatory remarks regarding tho
union by nu nrmed nonunion employe
of tho company caused a riot at Thirty
sixth and State streets tonight. The
man was chased Into an engine house
near by, nnd before the police could
reach tho spot a mob ot 2,000 persons
surrounded tho place, howling for the
life of tho refugee. A squad of police
men, after n great deal of dilllculty
finally quelled the disturbance and re
moved tho man to a plneo of safety.
Many person, chictly nonunion street
car men, were Injured by Hying spun
tered glass. Two women wero among
those hurt.
Kxcepting a few dozen passengers,
who had to tleo from the cars, the 300,

Colon, Nov. 14. The Royal Mall
steamer Orinoco arrived this morning,
bringing news ot General Torres and
tho Colombian troops he took from
here after tho proclamation ot the re-
mbllc of Panama. The soldiers be
haved well on the voyage.
Cm the arrival of General Torres and
his troops at Cartagena the news ot tho
events on the isthmus quickly spread
and acused excitement. General Torres
and his otllcers were threatened with
arrest as traitors, but the threat was
not put into effect. The populace.
greatly excited, soon crowded the
streets crying, "Down with the Ameri
cans.
United States Consul Ingersoll, fear
ing Woleme, remained shut up in the
consulate.
The Barranquilla authorities had in
tended sending 300 Colombian troops
by tho Orinoco to Cartagena, but
learned that the veseel had debarked
General Torres and his men. and de
cided to keep the men at Barranquilla.
Tho excitement at Barranquilla in
creased with the spreading of tho nows
of the secession of the isthmus, which
was supplemented by exaggerated ac
counts of tho alleged part played by
the United States therein.
Fears are entertained for the safety
of Americans in Colombia, and ot the
possibility ot the anger ot tho popu-
laco being vented against foreigners
generally. The authorities at Savanall
have mounted two obsolete guns cover
