If Columhia should make an attempt to send troop overland to the revolted utate, thin government will not wait for the ratification of the treaty. The mere fact that Colombia undertook to do anything of that nature would be considered a menace to free transit on the iHtliiniiH and against the dictum of the United States that there nniMt be no fighting on the iNthmuH, The feeling ia growing that Columbia will declare war against the United States, but no development i expected I K' fore the arrival of General Keyc and li I a f e 1 1 o w -col 11 m I hh i one ra .

FOR CHICAOO TO SAY. Can Oet Both National Political Con volition If Wanted. Chicago, Nov. 27. Chicago can ob tain both the Democratic and Republi can national convention of 1904 if he manifeHt a desire to get them, accord ing to politician of both partie who have begun to Investigate the matter. Preident Jame J.

President Sheridan i at work fram ing the Hamilton club committee which will go to Washington to attend the meeting of the Republican national committee, December 11, to file Chi cago' bid, and i sanguine that any reasonable proposition from this city will be accepted. From Milwaukee come the new that the Cream City Democratic leader re growing lukewarm about entertain ing the Democratic convention next year and have decided to throw their influence to Chicago. The Milwaukee men frankly state that Chicago is in better shape to entertain properly a na tional convention, and that if this city ieire the event, It may count on Mil waukee'a assistance. Chicago sup ported Milwaukee' claim four year ago, and the latter I willing to rccip rocate this year. So far, the local Democrat have made no move in that direction, but a the Democratic committee has not fixed a date for it meeting, there is plenty of time to aH. Both the Democratic and Republican committee will ask pledge of cash, a good share of which will be devoted to carrying on the pres idential campaign. Chicago may desire to entertain but one convention, and in that event the republican undoubtedly will be the one invited, inasmuch a overture have al ready been made to their organization Terrific Bxploaloa la Mine.

Chicago, Nov. 20. Fierce fighting, in which the police used their club freely and twice their revolver, marked the opening of the State (treet cable line by the Chicago City railway yesterday. As far aa can be ascer tained, nobody was seriously injured, although there were many broken beads among the rioters who came in contact with the clubs of the police. While the fighting was going on in the streets, the usual conference were in progress and propositions and counter propositions were passing back and forth. Late In the afternoon, It was id by Mayor Harrison, President Marion, 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 Bute street the eotn- pany was hampered by the work of the moo, 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 car 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 intersection, 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. After removing spikes from the cable slots at Fifty-seventh and Fifty-first street, the flrat train wa blocked at Forty-first street by iron rail placed acrosa the tracks. The crews began to remove the obstructions, when from behind fence a volley of stone 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 wa made upon them before the ob struction could be removed. JAPAN IS BOLD. Will Try to Intercept Two Russian War. ships Boued for Pert Arthar. St. Petersburg, Nov. 26. A semi official Russian agency has received from Tokio a report to the effect that Japanese warships have been dis patched to prevent the Russian war vessels, Tsarevitch and Baian, reach ing Port Arthur to join the Russian squardon there. Regarded aa Significant. London, Nov. 26 The alanning 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 vessel had left Saaebo for an unknown destination. The fact that such a statement should be issued by the Russian seml-oflicia! agency is, however, regarded as signifi cant. Curiously enough, the Russian newspaper, Svet, a few days ago, ex pressed the belief that communications between Fort 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. Becoming Angry With Russia. Seoul, Nov. 26. The tension be tween Russia and Corea has become more tense by reason of a treaty made by the latter in connection with the opening of the port of Yong Ham Pho to foreign trade.

To this end the emperor is reported to have declared that he did not consider it any of Rus sia's business what he did with his ter ritory. Carter Becomes Oovornor. Honolulu, Nov. 20.

Three rlnndrel Natives Killed Major Scott and Five Privates Wounded on the American Side Forces Under Oenoral Wood Completely Rout Rttbol Further Uprising Not Probable. Manilla, Nov. 25. Three hundred Moros are known to have been killed and many others were carried off dead or wounded, as a result of fire days' se vere fighting in Jolo between theAmer'- can troops under 'ler-eral Leonard Wood and the insurgents. Major II. L. Scott, of the fourteenth cavalry, and fire 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, Hansen asked to be allowed to see his family. His appeal was granted, and he thereupon led Major Hcott 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 bare 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 60 killed on the Moros' side. Has sen with a small party, was sur rounded. The rest of the 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. Gen oral Wood says the indications are that there will be no extension of the upris ing which was bandied without dim culty. On November 18 General Wood started on an expedition against a body of 2,000 Moros who are in the moon tains back of Tablibi. No news has yet been received as to the result of this movement. General Wood had under him two battalions of the Twenty-eighth in fantry regiment, one of the Twenty. third regiment, a platoon of Captain George Satley's battery, two troops of the fourteenth cavarly, and a detach ment of engineers. Major Scott, assist ed by a force composed of three com panies of the Seventeenth infantry, i platoon of Captain D. J. Rumbough's battery, and a troop of the Fourteenth cavalry. SHIP DISCOVERY LOST. Wreckage Feund la Northern Waters Seals Fate of Crew and Passengers. Seattle, Nov. 25. A special dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer from Juneau, Alaska, announces that J. Bent, a pas senger on the steamer Excelsior, Cap tain Moore, arriving today, reports that a mass of wreckage from the steamer Discovery has washed ashore at the mouth of Seal river, 30 miles below Yakutat. Bent's information makes practically certain that the Discovery is lost, and leaves little hope for either passengers or crew. It is believed, in fact, that everybody on board perished. The wreckage found, Bent says, con sists of piece of life boats, life pre servers and large pieces of her hull. He states that a terrible storm pre vailed for a week prior to November 16, on which date he boarded the Ex celsior at Yakutat, having walked 90 miles from Seal river to catch the steamer. The Yukatat Indians were watching the beach for bodies and they claim to have found a large piece of jBt and a man's coat. Ships Ordered to Colon. New York, Nov. 25.

The Britirb government is showing an interest in the fate of the bond issued by Colun- ia 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 is believed this subject was touched upon. Tlte position of the department in brief is that It cannot dictate to the new republic of Panama what dispo- ition shall bo made of tbo money which is to be paid over by th- United State in consideration of canal rights, but it certainly holds it is only right and just that Panama, in concluding a 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 th de partment will bo put forth in this di rection. The state department has not yet been informed officially of the result of Genera! 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 State, nnder the new treaty, will pay to Pan ama. WANT CUBA TO WAIT. Senate Leader Agree to Defer Vote on Reciprocity. Washington, Nov. 25. The Repub lican and Democratic leaders of the senate were in conference much of th time today over the question of fixing a time for a vote on the Cuban reci procity bill, and, so far as they were empowered to do so, entered into an agreement to take the final vote on De cember 10, or a little more than a week after the convening of the regular ses sion of congress. 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. The treaty for the cession of the island of Pines to Cuba was todav fav orably acted upon by the senate com mittee on foreign relations, and it will tie favorably reported to the senate at tne next executive session. The senate committee on foreign re lations today authorised a favorable re- port on the bill giving effect to the vuoan reciprocity treaty. EVERY COUNTRY AT FAIR.
