Panama Ordered Paid.

WASHINGTON, July 2.--The House to-
day went into committee of the whole on
the general deficiency bill. There was
no general debate, and the bill was forth
with read for amendment.
MIR. Cannon. of Illinois, offered an
amendment making an appropriation tor
the payment of the claims OF the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company for the trans

of Congress to pay this claim, which had
accrued by reason OF the order of Presi-
dent Cleveland under the statute sending
troops to Panama to protect the property
of American citizens. Not to provide the
appropriation would be to cast censure
upon the President.
The amendment was agreed to by a
vote Of rs to AZ.
After finishing 43 of the 119 pages of the
bill, the committee rose ana the House at
B O'Clock took recess until O'Clock, the

boycotters OF Mr.. Theiss, proprietor of the

to-day for sentence. Judge Barrett made
some strong remarks to them on the law
lessness OF the crime of which they were
convicted. He said that this was ViO-
latiOn of peace to a country that wei
coined foreign born citizens to a country
that offered freedom and the privilege OF
right. They had violated public rights
and opinions, and their otfense was not
short Of bIackmail.
DECLARED CONSPIRACY.
The distribution of circulars before
places of business was conspiracy and
punishable as such. Their conduct, if
unpunisbed, would lead TO saYagery.
They may have been misled by bad advice,
but their counsel should have rebuked
them. They did not use the money for
their own advantage, and this paliated
their otlense. We are told that it had
been the custom to rob In that man
ner. He would not impose the
full penalty OF the law as they were work
ingmen. The Judge then sentenced Paul
WittZig and Henry Holderf to two years
and ten months at hard labor; Michael
Strobe and julius Rosenberg to one year
and six months imprisonment. Daniel
