RE-WRITING MESSAGE.
Revolution On Isthmus Neces
sitated Some Changes.
Isthmus Impregnable Funeral of Ar
thur Jenkins Chicago Street Rail
way Strike World's Sugar Produc
tion Andrew H. Green Murdered.
Thirty Deaths From Collision.
Because of the revolution on thu
Isthmus of Panama President Roose
vent has been obliged to rewrite
that portion of his December me
sage to Congress dealing with the
canal negotiations with Colombia.
Before the revolution had occurred
the President had written in hi3 mes
sage: "High authorities on International
Viw hold that the canal can be dug as
an incident to exercising the power
to prevent the obstruction of traffic
Across the isthmus. Nevertheless, U
accordance with our settled policy of
behaving with scrupulous fairness and
generosity towards our weaker sister
republics of the south, we have en
deavored to provide for the building of
the canal by treaty.
Tho president said that the canal
wns demanded by tho Interests of this
ni tlon and by thoso of the civilize!
orld.
"The events of the last few years,"
he said, "warrant us in now saying not
only that the canal shall not be con
Ftructed by any foreign government
1 ut that it Is not to be constructed by
any private company. It must, there
fore, be dug by the government of tho
l.nited States."
Further along the president wrote:
"It Is time to declare mat the begin
ning of the canal cannot be much lon
ger delayed. This nation does not
dcFlre to be unreasonable or Impa
tient; but It cannot and will not pe:
n.lt any body of men permanently to
obstruct one of the great world high
wnys of traffic, and refusal to permit
the building of the canal amounts t
such obstruction."
Isthmus Considered Impregnable.
President of Colombia Marroquin's
statement as conveyed last week
in a cablegram to Gen. Plaza, president
of Ecuador, that Generals Reyes, Ca
baljeros, Osplna and Holeuln are now
marching on the Isthmus to "suppress
the Isthmian traitors" has set the en
tire population of the Isthmus laugh
ing. Protected by the Impenetrability
of the land between the Isthmus and
Colombia and confident' that the Unit
ed States intends to prevent the land
ing of Colombian soldiers from tho
sea, the Isthmians feel absolute se
curity. Funeral of Arthur Jenkins.
Syracuse signally honored one of Its
great, benefactors, modest though he
was, In paying the last tribute of re
spect to Arthur Jenkins, founder of
the Syractise Herald and the president
mid general manager of the Herald
company, whose funeral occured Wed
nesday afternoon.
The services were conducted by the
Cev. Karl Schwartz, dean of the Epis
copal Church of the Savior. Flowers
everywhere, the tokens of friend3,
made the rooms floral bowers. A
quartet sang Mr. Jenkins' favorite
hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee" and
other appropriate selections.
The city had nf.ver seen a more
representative gathering at a funeral.
The appreciation of the services ot
the Herald's founder to the city of Sy
racuse was a revelation, considering
the modesty of the man. In fact a
f.meral which the family and frlenda
believed would be a quiet ceremony,
was by the spontaneous tribute of
Syracusans, a memorable occurrence
iu its widespread expression of es
teem and sorrow in which Mr. Jenkins
was held by the people of the city and
the newspaper fraternity throughout
the state.
Chicago Street Railway Strike.
A partial victory was scored Sundav
by the Chicago City railway against its
striking employes. From early morn
ing until dark the company maintained
I regular service on its Wentworth
Hvenue line from Seventy-Ninth street
to the downtown district.
The first car, manned by a non-union
crew, left the car barns, guarded by a
dczen policemen, at S o'clock and was
followed four minutes later by an
other train.
Twenty-five cars In all were put Into
service but the schedule was frequent
ly Interfered with by obstructions on
the tracks and by the Inexperience of
tho men running the cars.
According to the officials of tho
company an attempt will be made to
operate some of the other lines of tho
system if tho police department can
supply protection. Enough non
union men have been secured, it is
said, to extend the service in all di
rections. It Is claimed that police aid
ot. other lines Is well nigh impossible,
as the city has been taxed to the limit
to protect the Wentworth avenue Una

World's Sug.ir Production.
The department of agriculture, In
tt official "crop report" for the
mouth of November, announces that
the indications are that the worlJ
has entered on a new era In
the production of cane sugar. The de
partment quotes estimates placing tlu
total sugar production of the world in
the year 19)3-4 at 10.425,800 tons ol
2,240 pounds each, including 4,312,800
tons of cane sugar and C.083,000 ton-i
of beet sugar, and says as to cane
sugar:
"During the past five years th!
world's output of this product has In
creased from 3,000,000 to upwards ol
4,000,000 tons, the greatest increase
ever made In any five year period In
the history of the lndut-try.
"The high record crop In the hlstorj
of the world's beet sugar production
was that of 1901-2. Since that dat
there has been a decline in production
",n Europe, amounting in all to about
1.000,000 tons, but the present year't
estimated output still shows a eonsid
erable increase over that of five year;-ago."
Increased Cost of Living.
The bureau of labor bulletin on th
erst of living of worklngmen's fami
lies issued last week shows thai

last figure Is seven-tenths above the
average of private families in the
t hole country as shown by the censut
Df 1900. In the years 1890-1902 the
cost of food reached its highest Iv
1902, being 10.9 percent above the
average for the decade 1890-1899, ant'
fin Increase of 10.1 percent compare
vith 1890, the year of lowest prices.
Fire Nearly Reached the Magazine.
The heroism of Lieutenant Curtlr
and several seamen on board the tor
pedo boat destroyer Lawrence hi
Norfolk, Va., saved that craft
from destruction. A lighted candle
left by a workman on a wooden box ir
the vessel's forward compartmeni
caused a fire which burned much ol
the Lawrence's woodwork before b
was extinguished by Lieutenant Cur
tin and some seamen just before the
flames reached the magazine. In theii
battle against the flames Lieutenant
Curtln and five seamen were overcome
by smoke and lost consciousness
Their condition Is not serious.

HOUSE MINORITY REPORT.
Democrats Favor Cuban Treaty It
Certain Amendments Are Made.
Washington, Nov. 17. A minoritj
report, setting forth the views ol
Messrs. Williams of Mississippi, Swan
son of Virginia, McClellan of New
York and Clark of Missouri, on the Cu
ban bill, was filed in the house.
Mr. Cooper of Texas, also a member
of the minority on the ways and means
committee, presented a lengthy report
condemning the Cuban treaty In toto.
The minority report states that the
bill should be amended by striking out
tho provision that no reduction in
sugar duty should bo made during tho
life of the treaty, declaring that one
congress has no right to bind a suc
ceeding congress, and by inserting an
amendment striking out the differen
tial on refined sugar, "because," the
report Bays, "in our opinion, we would
thereby deprive the great sugar trust
of this country of some of its power
to extort from the consumer, curtail
lti power to bear down the price f
the raw material, and lessen its abil
ity to dictate to wholesale and retail
dealers in sugar the manner in which
they shall do business and the price
at which they shall sell refined
sugar."
The report says if the amendment
is adopted the minority would voti
for the bill, but even if defeated they
recommend Its passage," because we
think that the good to be done by its
pussage will far overbalance the evil
which will result from a failure to
tske advantage of the opportunity to
diminish the power of the suar trust.
"As long as the pre-seut party is in
power we can perhaps hope for tariff
reductions and revision only from reci
procity treaties. It is a piecemeal
piocess, but it Is better than no pro
cess at all. We hail It as a harbinger
of future reciprocity treaties with
other countries, especially those upon
the American continent, and notably
our neighbor to the north, the Domin
ion of Canada."
NATIONAL GRANGE.
Secretary Brigham of Washington
Spoke of Tyranny of Labor and
Organized Capital.
Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 17. Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture J. H. Brigham
of Washington, D. C, addressed thi
National Grange, of which he was
master for nine years.
He spoke very plainly and urged the
farmers to take a firm stand against
the tyranny of organized labor and or
ganized capital. Both, he said, were
threatening problems which the agri
cultural class alone could solve.. His
words were received with great en
thusiasm. Two important resolutions were In
troduced. One from Oregon called for
an investigation of the charge that the
railroads are charging the government
piore for carrying malls than they
charge the express companies for car
rying packages. The other demand
ed a compensation for rural mall
route carriers which would equal that
received by city mall carriers. Both
these resolutions were referred to the
legislative committee.
A delegate from Ohio sent in a res
olution protesting vigorously against
the adoption of the metric system.
An important resolution was Intro
duced at the session of the National
Grange in relation to the rcarcity ol
farm labor, asking Secretary of Agri
culture James Wilson to ascertain
what can be done to induce the emi
gration Into the United States of com
petent farm laborers from foreign
countries.
The report of the treasurer, Mrs.
E. W. McDowell, showed that the re
ceipts during the year were $40,280.39
and the amount expended $27,891.27.
Miss Susan B. Anthony will speak
before the grange today and the elec
tion of officers will take place Wed
nesday. Many Yearling Does Killed.
Malone, N. Y Nov. 17. Compara
tively few deer were killed In the Adi
rondacks during the last few days ol
the hunting season, as there was no
ssow and the ground was dry and
noisy. The game protectors agree
that deer have Increased largely dur
Ing the past two years. An unfortu
nate feature of the season has been
the large number of yearling does
that have been slaughtered, and it is
suggested that measures be adopted
to put a stop to it. In one town 20
yearling does were killed. The elk
presented to the state by W. C. Whit
ney, that are wintering between Der
rick and Floodwood, are as tame oa
sheep and are a nuisance in that sec
tion. New Car Fender a Success.
Cleveland, Nov. 17 Tho Cleveland
Street Railway Company has, after
years of experiments costing thous
ands of dollars, solved the fender pro
blem that has of late caused traction
men all over the country much trouble.
The company has purchased a fen
der that picks up man or beast when
struck and throws him or it into a
pecket. -The apparatus was used suc
cessfully on a number of cars and the
lives of a number of people who wen.'
struck by the cars were saved during
the last two weeks.
Absolute Refusal to Arbitrate.
Chicago, Nov. 17. A declaration ol
the attitude of the Chicago City Rail
way company towards settling by ar
bitration the big strike of street rail
way employes was made by General
Manager McCulloch. In reply to a
question as to whether arbitration
would be the solution of the trouble!
he said: "Nobody connected with this
company is thinking of arbitration."
This is taken to mean an absolute re
fusal of the overtures of the state
board of arbitration.
Success of Dominican Rebels.

that the legal authorities have beer
consulted as to the attitude to be as
si.med toward the admiral, an unusua
proceeding.

Evans, but later he changed his mind
for what reason is not known, and a:
Secretary Moody's instance Assistani
Secretary Darling took the matter up
It is understood he takes the posi
tion that Admiral Evans attacked the
Integrity of the members of the court
and that having done this it was hl
duty to order a court martial of the
officers attacked. Not having so act
ed, it is understood that Mr. Darllne
holds that the admiral was derelict
and should be reprimanded.

present intention to return to Admlr
