WASHINGTON, Jan 12.-The House COM
mittee on Territories devoted its session
this morning to hearing argument ON the

Trying Times on the Isthmus-Edmunds's
Resolution Not Favorably Received.
PANAMA, Jan. 4.-Encouraging kilograms
from private sources in Paris tend to keep
up the spirits of all through this trying
period of anxiety for the isthmus. The un-
easiness in the money market has some
what subsidized, but exchange rates keep up
still to an abnormal figure, varying be-
tween 81 and o.. The resolutions recently
presented by Mr.. Edmunds to the United
States Senate with reference to European
Intervention in American canal matters
are not regarded with favor, either in this
country or other Spanish-American repub-
hes. The newspapers just coming In are
full of comments criticising the resolutions.
The general tendency of opinion as thus re-
Elected in the press is that as these republics
affected their own freedom from Euro
pean dominion and are absolutely
free free and and 80 so sSoyereign. states, any
as that suggested In the resolutions would
amount to an infringement of their nation
al rights. In this country, more particu-
larry, as is natural under the circumstances,
public opinion rules high on the subject.
and the canal company there is clause
that particularly sets forth that no
transfer of rights or privileges can
take place, and certainly that no
governmental Intervention could possibly
be tolerated on the part of France. In the
event, therefore, of any such occurrences
as that anticipated by Mr.. Edmunds's reso-
luton, it is argued that the Colombian gov
eminent would alone have the right of pro-
testing in the first instance, and that only
in response to direct appeal from her
could any other country assume the right
of interposition. The government of this
republic has been authorized to disburse
annually the sum of 500, 900 for educational
purposes.
Americans Blamed for the Samoan Troubles.
BERLIN, Jan. IA Sydney letter on the
subject of the Samoan troubles, which ap-
pears in the Frankfurter Zeitung, declares
that the truth of the report that the rebel
lion was instigated by Americans is frankly
acknowledged by all English correspond
entS in Samoa, all of whom deeply regret
the action taken by the Americans. Capt.
Leary, the American commander, is severe
ly reproached for encouraging Mataafa.
The rebels, it is asserted, owing to the lack
of ammunition, would long ago have con-
sented to negotiate had not American
traders promised the arrival of steamer
from San Francisco, with arms and ammu-
milton. The letter also indicates that the
turning of the English consulate into a
hospital led to the German complaint that
the English officials were showing sympa-
thy with the rebels

"A Jasper special to the Times Union
says: about midnight Tuesday, as a
party of railroad construction men
were asleep in camping car, about a
mile from here, three negro gamblers

demanded a game of poker The
men refused. The negroes then
began to curse and kick up a
railroad row generally. One gambler
was armed with a winchester rifle,
another with a shot gun and third
with a revolver. Meeting with strong
resistance in their attack, they jump
ed from the car and opened fire upon
it with rifles and shot guns. Sidney
Thompson, one of the railroad gang,

seriously injured. Bill Oates, one OF
the attacking party, is under arrest,
Tom Rush and Charley Flake es-
capped.

The irregular turning off of the

to repairs in the mains and there are
no means of avoiding this. The COM
