'WE'REFELLOWDDTCBHEN' What President Roosevelt Told Holland's Scientists Who Called on Him Yesterday.

Shays led his rebellion in days when petriotlc women resolved to buy no more tariff-taxed goods, but to get down the spinning wheels from the garret; when spinning bees became the fashion, and damsels were snore ambitious to be renowned for their skill at the wheel than for their performances at the harpsichord or spinet; when the New Hartford ladies loyally banded together and resolved that for a period of eight months at least they would not buy any gauze, ribbons, laces, feathers, braver hats, silks, mus-i lins, or chintzes except for weddings or mournings. It was in those days that Shays led his army or 4.C00 men on Springfield, seized tire arsenal, and then broke up the court in session, thus preventing any more of the obnoxious law suits.

Ex-Secretary of.

State John W. Foster, was chairman of the reception committee. At the White house Alfredo Chavro, delegate from Mexico to the congress presented a message of good will to President Roosevelt from President Diaz. "Tell President Diaz," said President Roosevelt, In reply to the metesage, "that we in this country realize what a great friend of liberty, humanity and progress he has ever been." When the delegates from the Netherlands were presented President Roosevelt exclaimed: "We are "fellow Dutchmen. I am very glad to see you." The President also took occasion to express his Interest in the Indian race when Miss Fletcher of this city, who has spent much of her life in the movement to uplift the Indians, and Frank La Flesche, an employe of the Indian bureau here, were presented with the party.

"I believe," said the President, "that it is a good plan, for the Indians to help themselves in bringing about their development." Try American Steam Laundry. Tel. ML BISHOP SPALDING MAY GET FEEHAN'S PLACE. Rome, Oct. 28.

Feehan will be taken up on the reassembling of the congregation of the propaganda in NovemDer. The election of Bishop John L.

Surprising Figures Showing the Great Density of Population.

A new census has recently been taken of the population of China, which gives the enormous total of people. The census was made by the natives, which, as usual, will doubtless cause it to be taken with the proverbial grain of salt by foreigners. The New York Sun, however, points out, that on the whole the estimates made by the Chinese of their population, are probably more correct than those made by the foreigners. A German geographer, Mr. E.

M. Koeh- ler, two years ago, exprrssed this belief, saying that although the estimates of the natives are inexact they are at least more acquainted with their country than are the foreigners. Mr. Koehler thought the estimate made of the population in 1SS2 at was as nearly correct as could be made. Accepting th present figures, It will be seen the population has increased 46.000,000 in the two decades.

It is difficult to conceive of the great density of population in this land of. the rising sun. In his new book just pub lished, "Through Hidden Shensl," Francis H. Nichols gives an excellent picture of the crowded condition of this single prov ince of the vast empire. Shensi, in the.

northwest corner of China, Is a hidden land, not only to foreigners, few of whom have penetrated It, but to many Chinese. Yet the area of this province is greater than that of England and Scotland, and Its population Is nearly 80,000,000. Sian, the capital of Shensi, it will be recalled, was the city of refuge for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor during their recent enforced exile. Although the occupation of the people of the Shensi province is chiefly agricultural are few isolated farms. In order to economize land for purposes of cultivation, the people live together in small villages, about a half hour's distance apart.

The houses are built one above the other on the mountain side, and frequently, Mr. Nichols says, a dwelling place for an entire community of several hundred people will not cover more than a few acres of land. In tho same effort to economize land, the mountains are terraced to give greater tillable area. These terraces are kept in place by stone walls about four feet high extending along the mountain slopes. Thus every inch of ground between the mountain side and the edge of the wall is under cultivation.

The effect, shown by photographs taken by Mr. Nichols, is curious. The plain shows almost circular In shape, and ris ing up and up are the terraces, completely encircling the plain, and giving the appearance of the seats of some colossal amphitheater. And yet Shensi is only a small part of China. The Sun gives a good idea of the density of population on the plains by stating that if tho whole population of the United States, with 40,000,000 more for good measure, were crowded Into the state of TeTxas, the density of population would be about equal to the Yangste val ley.

No wonder the Chinese are compelled to terrace their mountain slopes, and to build their houses after the modern ap proved sky-scraper methods. Try American Steam UX. Burned His Wife's Clothing. Filled up with three gigantic drisks of "white horse," as aiconol is popularly known among Its users, Tom St Clair, a colored gentleman of North Willow street, conoluded Saturday night that his wife had too many clothes for a woman of her station and concluded to dispose of them by the. fire method.

Tom was arrested and locked up and was brought into police court this morning where he tearfully pleaded guilty and begged for mercy from the judge, the marshal, his wife and everyone else in sight He broke down and cried heartily, but his wife's heart had been turned to adamant by his cruelty and she heeded him not In default cf a HZ fine and costs, he is still in jaiL St.

COLOMBIA IS TIRED OF IT Isthmian Country Views With Alarm the Actions of U. S. Authorities, Washington, D. Oct. 28.

The last Colombian note respecting the canal treaty, which arrived in Washington several days ago, has not yet been delivered to the State department and there la reason to fear that a serious hitch Is Impending. This note was framed at Bogota, September 16, last a day prior to the arrival of Admiral Casey In Isthmian waters and his checking of the passage of troops across the isthmus by rail. Since that date the admiral has had several occasions to assert a police power over the Panama railroad and in the harbors at either end. There is reason to believe that these assertions of power, though in the view of the State department here exercised strictly within the limits of the treaty" between the United States and, Colombia whereby the former guarantees freedom of traffic across the Isthmus, Is viewed by Colombia with growing apprehension and suspicion. Such an event as that recorded yes terday, in which Admiral Casey chal lenged the papers of the.

Columbian war ship Bogota, a boat acquired in the United States for lusa by the Colombian government is regarded by the Colombians as a direct assertion of United States sovereignty. Therefore there Is reason to believe that this, last Colombian note respecting the ranal treaty which might in itself have afforded the necessary means for a com plat? means for a complete agreement between the two countries Is being de layed in presentation in order that the Colombian government may have an op portunity to qualify it or even withhold It entirely in view of the recent events which have been so distasteful to them Lee Concern Is Growing, Special to the Capital.

CAN'T DIVIDE TERRITORY. If This is Done, Trouble Between Western League and American As- sociation "Will Be over General News of Sport.

New York, Oct. 28. The National Baseball board of arbitration resumed its ses sions today. The business before it Is the trouble between the American association and the Western league. The board had before It representatives of the Western league: and American association trying to find an amicable solution of the difficulties.

Late tonight it was announced that the board had taken an adjournment until tomorrow without having found any definite plan of settlement. A fair and a proper readjustment of territory seems to be the stumbling block. It is explained that the American association with cities like Louisville, Columbug and Indianapolis believes that the Western league should withdraw its teams from both Kansas City and Milwaukee. These are two of the best cities on the circuit of either organization. Last year both had rival clubs and financial disaster was the result to all hands.

The Western league people are not over anxious to get out of either Kansas City or Milwaukee. The matter may be adjusted by the American association taking one of the cities and the Western league the other. Each organization would then take in an additional city to complete the circuit President Brice of Columbus and President Watkins, of Indianapolis are to take part In the conference on behalf of the American association while W. T. Van Brunt of St Joseph, and M.

H. Sexton of Rock Island, are taking care of the Interests of the Western league. Tonight President Powers, of the National association said that while nothing definite had been done the outlook for a settlement was good. CRESCEUS FAILS AGAIN. Great Champion Trotted Mile Yesterday in 2 05 1-2.

A Scheme to Erect a Monument in Honor of the Leader, An attempt is being made in the town of Sparta, New York, to erect a monument to th memory of Daniel O. Shays, famous some say infamous in the early history of our country as the leader of Shays' rebellion. Shays, it has only recently been discovered, is buried in Sparta, in Livingston county of the Empire state: He was buried ina small wayside cemetery, formerly known as McKay's burying ground. A half obliterated inscription, which had been crudely cut with a jack-knife, has been deciphered to read that it marks the last resting place of Daniel Shays, leader in the Massachusetts tax rebellion in 1784. Livingston county.

New York, it appears, has an historical society which has a passion for celebrating anniversaries and erecting monuments. Ever sine It has been discovered that Shays of the rebellion is buried "in its midst," this society has been burning with a desire to erect a monument An effort was first made to solicit the co-operation of the Massachusetts Historical society. But Senator Hoar, with other Massachusetts sons, said nay. No monument, declared they, for the rebel, who was rioter rather than reformer, an American Jack Cade. The Massachusetts society said it subscribed to the view taken by Historian nsaev wnicn naraiy sets up Shays as a patriot, deserving of recognition by his countrymen.

The Livingston Historical society, how ever, is determined to erect a monument, and Shays is its enly excuse. It is there fore pushing the project, dwelling rather on the fact that Shays served with distinction in the revolutionary war and was brevetted for gallantry at Bunker Hill, than that be was the leader of the Massachusetts tax rebellion. This rebellion, subsequently known as Shays, it ia probably not necessary to recall, arose from an excessive burde nof taxes. In ITS5, it was estimated that every man in Massachusetts owed an average of S2C0 tor taxes. Many were unable to pay, and were thus under the severe laws of the time, pent in prison.

Arrests for debts became so frequent that the lawyers did a thriving tusir.es. and soon began to be looked upon as oppressors of the people. A lawyer passing in the street was pointed out to the little children as a bogle man to be shunned.

PAUA. Trouble May Be Settled as Soon as Secretary Hay Gets Action on the Treaty Won't Be Keady for Congress. Washington, D. Oct 28. The tact recorded In the news dispatches from Havana that President Palma has returned to Washington the draft of the reciprocity treaty without his approval has not shaken the belief of tne officials here that they will have a treaty ready to submit to Congress by the date of its next meeting.

As soon as Mr. Quesada, the Cuban minister, receives the he will submit it to Secretary Hay. Negotiations will then be continued on the basis of the original draft Generally stated the Cuban objections are based on a belief that the United States has demanded undue concessions in the remission of duties on United States products entering Cuba ranging all the way from 10 to SO per cent in return for a 20 per, oent cut on Cuban sugar and the tobacco coming into the United States. The difference is strictly one of figures and not principle, it being the opinion at the State department that it can be settled amicably. If not the Cuban government insists upon terms that the State department cannot grant the two countries will simply drift along without any treaty of this kind.

As Cuba would undoubtedly be the sufferer, it is believed that she would be the first to make another advance toward a treaty. There has keen an important change in the program respecting the whole fabric of Cuban treaties. It had been originally intended to perfect a reciprocity treaty before undertaking to deal with other re lations that must be defined by treaty It is now seen that the subject of recip rocity is one that will require considerable time for Its disposition the government here is about to undertake negotiations looking to the arrangement of. an extra-dit'on treaty, which is very much needed, Inasmuch as Cuba threatens to become a sink hole for American criminals.

The vice president of a well known sporting club in Paris was strolling along the Strand at Ostend the other day, when he met the King of the Belgians taking his constitutional. The king, who knew him.

Invited him to dinner on the morrow. Although much pleased at the invitation, the clubman was in great perplexity, for, having only come to Ostend for one day, he had no evening coat with him. He accordingly rushed to the telegraph office, and was gratified next morning on receiving the necessary swallow-tail. A few minutes later he was Informed that the dinner would not take place, but would be substituted by a breakfast This made the dress-coat useless a frock coat was what he wanted now.
