excitement over the matter The general belief is that the United States of Colombias contract with I the railway company gives the latter unlimited un-limited power of Importation This act I of confiscation is likely to cause trouble Specrs Resigns SAN FRANCISCO Jan 11 Chester H Sneers who has been assistant general passenger agent of the Atlantic Pacific Pa-cific railroad for the past eight
