WITHIN A MONTH.

Commercial Matters in Bad Condition
All Over the Isthmus-The Govern
ment suspends Payments on Ac-
count of Its Debt-A Petition for a
Reduction in Taxation.
PANAMA, March 16.-The condition of
affairs on the isthmus has been crit cal for
some weeks past, as already reported, and
everything has worn a gloomy aspect
Thousands of men were thrown out of
work, and similar results ensued to those
which otcur anywhere in work stops and
thousands are left with their hands in pock
cts which contain no money. Fortunately,
emigration on an exte sive scale has en-
sued, and it is expected that before month
will have elapsed at least 5000 men will
have been sent hence.
COMMERCE IN BAD SHAPE.
Commercial matters all over the isthmus
are in bad condition and there is little busi-
ness doing. Colon storekeepers and dealers
have united in petitioning for reduction
of all kinds of taxes, owing to the complete
stoppage of trade in the city. In the city of
Panama things are much in the same con-
dition. A meeting has been held at which
Panamanians and foreigners OF different
nationalities alike spoke. and decision was
reached that the supreme government lie
petitionei to reduce the commercial contri-
button, which is enormously high as COM
pared with the amount of business which is
being done.
PAYMENT OF THE DEBT SUSPENDED.
An instance of the condition of affairs has
been given by Gov. Aycardi, who has
issued decree suspending the payment of
the debt of the former STATE of Panama,
and effecting other economies. Gov. Ay-
cardi states that these measures have been
adopted owing to the suspension of work on
the canal having reduced the receipts Of
the government, which will lie further
diminished owing to the receipts from
taxes similarly falling off.
RAILROAD TRAFFIC CURTAILED.
In consequence of the collapse of the local
freight and passenger traffic o the Panama
railroad the number Of employees has been
considerably reduced At present only two
passenger and two freight trains cross the
line daily from either end. This reduction
in traffic is Of course due to the stoppage of
canal work.

SHOT DEAD BY A MAD HUSBAND.
The Slayer Claims His Victim Was
About to strike Him.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 25-When John
Clemens went home, in the southern part
of the city, about $50 o'clock tonight and
opened the door, he found his wife and
P. B. L. Nowland sitting together in the
room. Nowland, as Clemens entered the
room, made a movement to strike the
latter, when Clemens drew revolver and
fired twice, both bullets striking Nowland
in vital parts and causing immediate death.
This is The story of the killing as told ly
Clemens, who is under arrest. Nowland
was son of j. H. B. NoHland, an old and
well-known resident of the city.
THE WOMAN FINALLY CoNFEssEs.
Mrs. Clemens, who is also under arrest, at
first denied any knowledge of Nowland, but
after telling a number of stories finally
broke down and confessed that she had been
criminally intimate with Nowlaud. The
pair spent the early part of the
night visiting wine rooms in the neigh
borhood, after which they returned
to Clemens house. When Clemens came
home he found the door locked. He was
admitted by his wife, who had concealed
Nowland in the rear room. Clemens
greeted his wife affectionately and took
seat, and the tragedy might have been
avoided had not Nowland in some way made
a noise which attracted the attention of
Clemens. The latter rose on hearing the noise
and Nowland, seeing he was discovered,
came from tle rear room toward the room
in which Clemens stood. the latter drew
revolver and fired twice, with the result
above stated. Nowland was a married
man, about 40 years old. His wife is
daughter Of John B. Glover, onoe auditor
of the state.

They Want New Commander at the
New York Celebration.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-No little dis
satisfaction is felt among naval officers
over the details of the programme for the
celebration of the Washington inaugural
centennial in New York next month. Ac-
cording to the programme the army and
navy are to figure prominently in the
demonstration. Major General Schofield, the
highest commanding gene al of the service,
has been selected to take charge of the mill
tary forces, and against that sele tion no
criticism is made. But naval officers COM
plain that their branch of the service, which
will make an exhibition Of particular
interest, because of its comparison of
the old and new navy, has been placed in
charge Of retired army officer. They
argue that the naval officer of the highest
rank should have been chosen to match the
selection Of Maj. Gen. Schoheld, and they
have negu an agitation to have Admiral
Jouett replace the retired army officer IN
command of the naval demonstration.

aERMANY's NEW PENAL CODE.

BERLIN, March 25-The new penal code
provides that persons found guilty of incit-
ing one class against another, or OF publicly
attacking the basis public and social order,
especially religion, monarchy, marriage or
property shall be imprisoned for a term not
exceeding three wears. Persons convicted OF
the second offense may be forbidden
to reside in certain places. Newspapers
which have been twice convicted of any Of
fences mentioned in the code shall be sup
pressed. Socialists who have been expelled
turn within five years after the adoption of
the code, unless by special permission of the
police authorities.
THE COLOGNE GAzETTE's BELIEF.
The Cologne Gazette, commenting on the
new penal bill, says 1t must refuse to be-
lieve that the national liberals who, upon
the occasion of the last prolongati IN OF the
period of the operation of the anti-soclalist
law, demanded a settlement of the matter
by the completion of the penal cole,
will decide TO limit popular rights
as proposed in the bill, aud especially to
render worse the position of the press by
giving the government terrible weapon
with which it can attack all democratic,
FrieSienegge and ultramontane papers. The
