(Previous cabling of this matter prevented) A force of liberals numbering- at least 250 attacked Morro island, command ing the entrance to the poi t of Tumaco. September 24th. The island had all along been garrisoned wibi fewer than 100 troops, well supplied with arms, ammunition and commissary stores. The landing was affectec. before day break by means of canoes. Simultane ously the island was stormed from the other end by liberals on tie mainland. Morro island is surrounded by shal low sand banks and the only means of approaching Tumaco is by the narrow river whicb is within easy range of the island. The British steamer Qjito-. bound from Cuayaquil, Ecuador for Panama and touching at ports between anchor ed off Morro island on' 1he night of September 26th and weighing anchor at daybreak, started up the stream toward Tumaco. The liberals fired a shot across her bows. Suspecti lg the situa tion. she immediately turred; but rni shots and one cannon continued to be fired at her. the former striking her several times and the latter once, the ball makintr a hole risrht through her above the water-mark, though the dam acre in other respects was slight. The Ouito then steamed to he farthest point the tide would permit and again .anchored. The firing was mow resumed but it ouit after a few minutes, the lib era Is seeintr the imnrude ice of their action. It is significant that shortly after the Quito incident became known the lint ish warship Iscarius left Panama for ; destination not made put lie but pre sumably Tumaco.

MEETING OF THE CONVENTION Two Hundred Deleuatc-s From Boards of Trade and Commercial Bodies of Onr Chief Cities Meet in Baltimore. The Purpose of the Mct-tlnjr Explain ed by Theodore Burton, of the Con gressional lllver ard Harbor Com mittee Twenty-Five Cities? lieprc eented. Baltimore. October S. More tha;v 1'UO delegates from the various boards of trade and commercial bodies in the principal cities in the United States gathered here today for the purpose of discussing the propriety of appropriat ing public moneys for the improvement of the rivers and harbors in the L'nit ed States. They will remain in session for two, and perhaps three days, lur ing which they will be handsomely on tertained by the local board of trade 1 wenty-live cities are represented nv the delegates present. in purpose of the congress is per haps best explained in the speech c Congressman Theodore Burton, chair man of the river and harbor commitl?' of congress, w ho made the opening ad dress to the delegates today. He said in part: "This gathering is the first of its kind and the scope of its undertakings must in great measure be detrmined by your action during the days of this meeting. 1 take it the movement which led lo ths convention was prompted by a de sire to awaken general interest in rivc-r and harbor improvements and to bring the commercial bodies which are repre Seiited here into closer touch with legis lation upon this subject. I am inform ed it is not desired that any special an ject shall be advocated here, but at the same time you consider the improve ment of the navigable channels and ports of the country as essential for our development, and that these pons and channels reiu;v the fostering care and assistance of the national govern ment. With this view, it is in your power to educate public opinion and to organize efforts for the enactment of legislation which shall be national m its scope and for the benefit of the whole people. The influence of this as sembly should be exerted for liberal appropriation for rivers and harbors, but liberality should always be coupled with discrimination- Appropriations should not be denied because large amounts are requred to secure the best and promptest results, but there should be equal care to prevent waste or the adoption of unworthy or impracticable projects. There should be no advocacy of a policy of compromse in selecting localities for appropriations: but care full consideration should be given to all claims from all parts of the country to large and small projects alike. "In view of necessary limitations in the amounts appropriated in river and harbor acts and the pressing need fcr deeper channels and improved facilities along established lines of traffic, it is better to appropriate for localities where traffic is already established than w here its development is uncertain or problematical. In case of a plurali ty of claims, even equally deserving, when mon-y is not available for all, it is more bu. iness like to finish one and obtain results from it than to make piecemeal appropriations upon all.

The conflict that has arisen between the military and the- civil authorities in the Philippines over the issuance of writ of habeas corpus by the supreme court for a civilian employee ordered deported by the military authorities, was touched upon incidentally, but At torney General Knox was not c; ' upon for an opinion.

October S. - Abraham paper in " former- Izaak. the publisher of a Chicago called "Free Society ly "The Firebrand,' from the mails by- which was barred the Chicago post master last week, has applied for en entry of the publication to the second class. Postmaster Coyne forwarded a copy of the paper, containing an article by Emma Goldman on the assassina tion of President McKinley for a rul ing on the question of its re-entry to the mails under any classification. There is no law, according to the postal officials, under which a paper can be barred merely on the ground that it is anarchistic in its utterances. Perhaps Yon Wonder If the tormenting cold that made last winter one long misery will be as bai this year. Certainly not, if you take Allen's Lung Balsam when tickling and rawness in the throat announces the presence of the old enemy. Do not ex pect the cold to wear itself out. Take the right remedy in time- Allen's Lung Balsam is free from opium. NEW ISTHMUS CANAL. TREATY No Sacrifice ot Principles by England or the United States. Washington, October 8. There has been no surrender by England to the United States in the matter of the new isthmian canal treaty according to best authority here. It is said to be equally true that the United States has sacrificed no principle in these negotia tions, and the effect of contrary state ments is depreoated as likely seriously to jeopardize the chances of the con summation of the convention which shall finally and peacefully settle an issue that has been a source of danger for the past fifty years. It is said that what actually has hap preset ' rlrtvton. pened is that each side has the underlying principle of the onvention Bulwer treaty, and the new conv will provide for a waterway, neutral at all times, and open to commerce of t world. The Clavton-Bulwer treaty, however, rawn half a century ago, has proved to be defective in mechanism for giving effect to this purpose. The new treaty simply provides this mechanism- England is' relieved from the guarantee, which in her case w only troublesome, and which, being sumed by the United States in toto quite as effective. As viewed from the American point of view even, there was no surrender on England's part in seek ing this relief, inasmuch as the above mentioned principle is reiterated and affirmed as binding upon the Fnit. .' States. As for the lorm ot the trea .1 1U Ul UK ilia... it it embodies in nents to the Hay- lich were adopted it may be stated that substance the amendments L ilUlll liinf LlCtllJ. I.

Bellamy. Visit the Millinery department today of The C. W. Polvogt Co. all are wel come. Stylish Fall Millinery Yesterday afternoon and last night, the devotees of fashion and the lovers of the beautiful went in great crowds to the store of the C. W. Polvogt Com pany, Xo. 9 North Front street. Never before in the history of this popular establishment was there such a taste ful and handsome display in all depart ments. The millinery opening, of course, was the particular event, but as one had to pass through the dry goods department first, the display there caused the crowds to linger. The display of silks and dress goods was very elaborate, and the linen depart ment, decorated as a gypsy tent, chal- leneged the admiration of everybody. The goods in these departments are in great variety and exceedingly beau tiful, and from one end to the other the store is very handsomely arranged. Among the profusion of fall goods there were ferns and palms, and a pho nograph was clcing a special act that added to the pleasure of callers. On the second floor Captain R. M. Mc- Intire held the admiration of every body with his handsome display of car pets curtains and other up-to-dote house furnishings. The- cynosure cf all eyes, however. was the millinery department and here the display of stylish hats captivated the callers. Miss Minnie F. Cressler, the accomplished milliner, was assisted by Miss Lelia Mclver. Maryllergenroth- er and Lena Styron, and they were kept busy showing the artistic Cressler cre ations. Over 20o styles of hats were -how n but the hats which evoked the "mthusiastie ejaculations of the ad miring ladies were the Lombard, the Pouyanne. the Floradora, the Bendel, and the Glanckoff. A description of them is unnecessary as you will see them today and tonight as the opening is stil Ion. Mothers! Mothers!!
