Jefferson, two Kentuckians, had a desperate encounter with four armed ruffians on the Bols de Voulogne yesterday morning.

The ruffians wounded were arrested. PER CENT, fered." As to the recognition of the republic of Panama, General Reyes says that It is a matter of public knowledge that the mother country commands sufficient forces to subdue a revolution. "The attitude of the United States," he says, "constitutes, according to the most ancient and modern authority on International law, not only «t great offense, but also a formal attack upon her wealth." DI8COUNT. WILKESBARRE, PA. PEOPLESSTORE, 16 South Main St., Pittston. THE NEGOTIATIONS. Point* at Issue Between Japan and Russia Pew. St. Petersburg, Jan. 10.—The following is given as the present status of the negotiations between Russia and Japan:Bread is The Staff of Life Russia recognises Japan's predominance in Korea and Japan recognizes Russia's special position in Manchuria. There are two main questions still at issue—the Russian demand for a neutral zone on the Korean side of the Yalu river, which Japan met with a proposal for a similar neutral strip on the Manchurian side. Japan also asks for certain guarantees covering Manchuria which Russia thus far has declined to grant. It is pointed out, liowever, that the assurances given a few days ago by Russia Regarding open ports in Manchuria and respect for treaty rights is a concession on this point. There is a strong indication that through the czar's personal acts the !D«««CD party wupJetety in the ascendant. M. Bezozrazoff, the head of the wat party, has gone abroad. Count Lamsdorff, who from the beginning has favored peace, is now completely rehabilitated, and Viceroy AlexleU has been made subservient to the foreign office in the Russo-Japanese negotiations. His extensive powers are curtailed, aud he can make no move without the czar's personal approval. Armstrong's Panama Colombia's Chief Wealth. After declaring that Pannma formed the most important part of the national wealth of Colombia, General Reyes j continues: "Before the coup de main which proclaimed the independence of the Isthmus took place at Panama there were in this very city agents of the authors of the coup in conference with high personages clothed with official character, as is asserted by reputable American newspapers. I have received information to the effect that a bank in New York opened a considerable credit in favor, with a knowledge of the general use for which it was intended, ©van iiiough unaware that it was to be applied in part to the bribery of a large pprt of the garrison at Panama." Before the news was divulged that a revolution was about to break out on the isthmus General Reyes says that American cruisers, which reached their destination precisely on the eve of the movement, were plowing the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. A United States military officer, he says, stopped the railway from carrying to Panama, as It was under obligation to_ do, a battalion of troops from Bogota which had Just arrived at Colon "at the very time when Its arrival in that city would have impeded or suppressed any revolutionary attempt." "Sad indeed," says General Reyes, "Is the fate of my country, condemned at times to suffer calamities from its own revolutions and at others to witness the unexpected attacks of a powerful but friendly state which, for the first time, breaks Its honored traditions of respect for right, especially the right of the weak." Whitaker Wright Testifies. A Broken Neok Mended. The better the flour, the better the bread; the better the bread, the stronger the staff. The brands we carry make the whitest, lightest bread. London, Jan. 19.—J. Whitaker Wright, head of the defunct London corporation, who !b charged with loose handling of the funds of the corporation, took the stand in his own defense when his trial was resumed this morning. Wright described at considerable length his experiences with American mining enterprises during his stay in Philadelphia. New York, Jan. 18.—Cured of a broken neck, James Dunn, seventeen years old, of 558 West Fifty-first street, yesterday left the J. Hood Wright hospital, where he had spent live motionless months, rigid In a plaster cast and with heavy weights at his head and feet holding his body immovable.

Another strong influence on the side of peace has been the attitude of M. de Witfe, president of the council of ministers. At the recent meetings of the council M. de Witte pleaded the cause of peace, pointing out the disastrous consequences of war to Russia and declaring that Russia bad everything to lose and nothing to gain.

He says the government had carefully considered the grave complaints made and assures General Reyes of our most friendly sentiments for the government and people of Colombia. The questions submitted, he says, can be considered only in the light of accomplished facts, of which one is that the republic of Panama has become a member of the family of nations. "The department has read with surprise," Mr. Hay comment?, "your repetition of gross imputations upon the conduct and motives of this government which are said to have appeared in reputabl* American newspapers." Mr. Hay review in detail, first the necessity of a waterway connecting the two oceans, and, second, all the legislative and diplomatic procedure which has taken place to serve that end. Secretary Hay says the United States has faithfully borne during the long period since the treaty of 1846 was completed the full burden of its responsibilities. Under all drcmustauces, says the secretary, the department is unable to regard the complaints of Colombia against this government as having any valid foundation. Under date of Jan. 6 General Reyes submits another note to Secretary Hay, In which he says be transmitted Secretary Hay's answer to his statement of grievances to his goyernment by cable. The secretary's note is construed, he says, as an intimation that the Colombian forces will be attacked by the United States on their entering the territory of Panama to subdue the rebellion, and for that reason It would hold the government of the United States for all damages — " the lorn of that natioi Replying to this o- Hay Says that he 1 propositions brougL. second note have beeu fully answered in hi- FOR SALE Several fine residence properties in Pitteton and West Pittston, ranging in price from 81,630 to 88,000 INQUIRE OF Joseph A.

As to the recognition of the republic of Panama, General Reyes says that It is a matter of public knowledge that the mother country commands sufficient forces to subdue a revolution. "The attitude of the United States," he says, "constitutes, according to the most ancient and modern authority on International law, not only «t great offense, but also a formal attack upon her wealth." DI8COUNT. WILKESBARRE, PA. PEOPLESSTORE, 16 South Main St., Pittston. THE NEGOTIATIONS. Point* at Issue Between Japan and Russia Pew. St. Petersburg, Jan. 10.—The following is given as the present status of the negotiations between Russia and Japan:Bread is The Staff of Life Russia recognises Japan's predominance in Korea and Japan recognizes Russia's special position in Manchuria. There are two main questions still at issue—the Russian demand for a neutral zone on the Korean side of the Yalu river, which Japan met with a proposal for a similar neutral strip on the Manchurian side. Japan also asks for certain guarantees covering Manchuria which Russia thus far has declined to grant. It is pointed out, liowever, that the assurances given a few days ago by Russia Regarding open ports in Manchuria and respect for treaty rights is a concession on this point. There is a strong indication that through the czar's personal acts the !D«««CD party wupJetety in the ascendant. M. Bezozrazoff, the head of the wat party, has gone abroad. Count Lamsdorff, who from the beginning has favored peace, is now completely rehabilitated, and Viceroy AlexleU has been made subservient to the foreign office in the Russo-Japanese negotiations. His extensive powers are curtailed, aud he can make no move without the czar's personal approval. Armstrong's Panama Colombia's Chief Wealth. After declaring that Pannma formed the most important part of the national wealth of Colombia, General Reyes j continues: "Before the coup de main which proclaimed the independence of the Isthmus took place at Panama there were in this very city agents of the authors of the coup in conference with high personages clothed with official character, as is asserted by reputable American newspapers. I have received information to the effect that a bank in New York opened a considerable credit in favor, with a knowledge of the general use for which it was intended, ©van iiiough unaware that it was to be applied in part to the bribery of a large pprt of the garrison at Panama." Before the news was divulged that a revolution was about to break out on the isthmus General Reyes says that American cruisers, which reached their destination precisely on the eve of the movement, were plowing the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. A United States military officer, he says, stopped the railway from carrying to Panama, as It was under obligation to_ do, a battalion of troops from Bogota which had Just arrived at Colon "at the very time when Its arrival in that city would have impeded or suppressed any revolutionary attempt." "Sad indeed," says General Reyes, "Is the fate of my country, condemned at times to suffer calamities from its own revolutions and at others to witness the unexpected attacks of a powerful but friendly state which, for the first time, breaks Its honored traditions of respect for right, especially the right of the weak."

Another strong influence on the side of peace has been the attitude of M. de Witfe, president of the council of ministers.

He says the government had carefully considered the grave complaints made and assures General Reyes of our most friendly sentiments for the government and people of Colombia. The questions submitted, he says, can be considered only in the light of accomplished facts, of which one is that the republic of Panama has become a member of the family of nations. "The department has read with surprise," Mr. Hay comment?, "your repetition of gross imputations upon the conduct and motives of this government which are said to have appeared in reputabl* American newspapers." Mr. Hay review in detail, first the necessity of a waterway connecting the two oceans, and, second, all the legislative and diplomatic procedure which has taken place to serve that end. Secretary Hay says the United States has faithfully borne during the long period since the treaty of 1846 was completed the full burden of its responsibilities. Under all drcmustauces, says the secretary, the department is unable to regard the complaints of Colombia against this government as having any valid foundation. Under date of Jan. 6 General Reyes submits another note to Secretary Hay, In which he says be transmitted Secretary Hay's answer to his statement of grievances to his goyernment by cable. The secretary's note is construed, he says, as an intimation that the Colombian forces will be attacked by the United States on their entering the territory of Panama to subdue the rebellion, and for that reason It would hold the government of the United States for all damages — " the lorn of that natioi Replying to this o- Hay Says that he 1 propositions brougL. second note have beeu fully answered in hi- FOR SALE Several fine residence properties in Pitteton and West Pittston, ranging in price from 81,630 to 88,000 INQUIRE OF Joseph A.
