Affairs at Panama.

WASHINGTON, Jan. !7.--Mr. Adamson,
United States consul-general ut Pana-
ma, ON the I'd inst. received q commune
cation from the general of the depart
Iment of Panama, stating that although
the local government would do all in its
power to preserve peace and order, it is
feared that disturbances of the public
peace might follow the suspension Of
work on the Panama canal, which BUS
pension is expected soon.
In transmitting this information to
the STATE department., Adamson says:
We appear to be on the verge OF a crisis, and
grave results may be well apprehended. Fortu-
nately there are comparatively few Americans
employed upon the canal, but those few win
surely demand my aid. Whatever may occur, /
shah do my best for the protection Of American
interests here.
The secretary of state, in his report to
the president, says: q
It will be remembered that Id 1885 it became
necessary for the United Safest TO send u sufficient
force to the istirnrus for the purposs of perform
ing their drty under the treaty to suppress a dis
order at that point.
The president transmitted the CORE
spondence to congress.

THE INSIDE HISTORY.
Senator Bayard Gives to the Public
a Full Statement Of the
HAYTIEN REPUBLIC CASE.
The Seizure Clearly a Violation of the
Existing Treaty with Hayti-Afrairs
at Panama Beloved to BE AL
most at a Crisis.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1T.-The Haytien
correspondence is made public. In a
communications to Minister Preston,
under date Of Nov. 90, 1888, Secretary
Bayard gives a full statement of the
case Of the Haytien Republic, as re-
ceived by the United States, The secre-
tary says:
Upon examination OF the record and proceed.
ings IN the case the department is lead to the con
clusion that the seizure and detention of the yes
sci and the imprisonment of her officers have,
from the beginning, been irregular and wrongful.
Whether amy valid blockade did or did not exist,
it is clear that the Haytien Republic had, and
could have had, no notice of 1t.
The facts that the Haytien Republic
could easily have eluded the Haytien
war vessel, the Dessalinis, at st. Marie,
had her master any knowledge of wrong
doing on his part, is touched upon, and
the treaty between the United States
and Hayti is quoted to show, in the
language of the secretary, that,
b is manifest that so far as the proceedings
against the Hayden Republic rest on a charge Of
attempting 10 run q blockade, they were in clear
violation of the terms of the treaty, and wholly
improper and inadmissable.
The legality of the tribunal which ex-
amined the charges against the Haytien
Republic is next denied. A prize court,
the secretary says, is not "a court Of
criminal jurisdiction, and therefore it
was wholly outside its competence to
try any alleged violation of Haytien mu-
nicipal law. The place OF seizure, the
secretary says, is believed, from the
best information obtainable by the de-
partment, to have been six miles from
defed it s~uperauous to revert to this
fact. After referring to the confusion
which has prevailed over the govern
ment of Hayti, Secretary Bayard says:
In the midst of such bloody contentious and the
various fractional attempts To obtain power, IL is
unjust and unreasonable that merchant vessels
of the United States should be made the victims
OF sucl, lasssless proceedings.

Germany's Contempt.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE expression of
American opinion in relation to
Samoan affairs, which has beer widely
copied in Germany, appears to have ex-
cited among the leading journals and
prominent classes a mingled feeling Of
indignation and contempt. Certainly
the gazettes of large cities are aware of
the population and wealth of the United
States, but they regard that country as
insignificant in a military sense. The idea
that such a distant and unwarlike nation
should care to interfere with the new
colonial policy seems to the Germans to
be audacious in the highest degree. The
recalling of Greenbaum, the American
consul at Apia, has greatly discouraged
American traders at Samoa, and the
German arrogance there has increased
greatly since that event. 1t was, of
course. interpreted as a proof of Ameri-
can weakness on the seas, and has placed
the island virtually under German o n
troll.

qualifiedly unfounded."
Senator Gritfiths, sitting near johnson
said: cit is true" w~hereupon johnson
turned upon Griffiths and gave him the
lie direct.
Many of the senators rose in their
seats and the scene was exciting. Speaker
Chase. however, preserved order and
ruled the resolution providing for
additional doorkeepers out of order, as
contrary to the statute providing for
only a certain number, which had been
appointed. The senate on appeal over

soldiers amendment Offered by John.
SOM was adopted by a strict party vote.
Senator Griffiths apologized to the SEN
ate, maintaining that his assertion was
truthful but ill timed.
Senator johnson followed with a

peat his language outside the senate
chamber. He made NO apology, either to
the senate or to any member.
The talk in legislative circles is solely
of the affair and there is serious talk of
a resolution being introduced to expel
Senator johnson. This, if carried out,
will cost the Republicans their most ag-
gressive senator.

majority of the people of Utah had long
defied the authority of the United States,
as expressed in the statutes, by practic-
ing polygamy. The opposition, he says,
coming from the territory, is fomented
and kept alive by unscrupulous men.
He described the efforts of the people Of
Utah to settle forever the polygamy
question, and pledged his honor that the
constitution they formed was in good
faith. He vas frequently interrupted
by Governor West and others. and an
swered their questions promptly.

CASHIER SILCOTT'S EXPLANATION
He Says the Germans Had a Good Deal
to Do w ith Foraker's Defeat.

Mr.. c. E. Silcott, cashier of the House Of
Representatives and an enthusiastic buckeye
democrat returned to the city last night. I'VE
made our fight for the state" said he to a STAR
reporter this morning, land VIC got it; incl
dentally we got the legislature too. From the
beginning have been confident as to the re-
suit Three weeks ago we could have elected
Campbell by not less than 80, 900 majority, but
during the latter days an immense amount
of republican money was poured into
the state and it made material
difference. One Of the most prominent Ohio
republicans told me on election day that more
money had been spent to aid Foraker this time
than had ever been spent on any one man in
the political history of ohio. What defeated
him? Well. suppose the Germans had good
deal to do with it. They made Hamilton county
pretty solid. believe the Germans will stay
with the democratic party from this time out.
There was a good deal of anti-Foraker senti-
ment among certain class of republicans, but
it was not visible to the outsider. 1t got its
work in on Tuesday, though"

THE MARINE CORPS.
Col. McCawley's Theory as to the Cause
of DesertiOns.

Secretary Tracy today made public the re-
port Of Col C. G.. McCawley. commandant of
the United States marine corps, for the year
ended September 80, 1889. The adjutant's
statistics show 1923 enlisted men. During the
year there were 515 desertions.
Col. McCawley calls attention to the great
difficulty experienced in recruiting the corps
up to its allowed strength of 1,60O men, owing
to too limited appropriation for ''transporta-
tion and recruiting" At least 400 additional
privates are needed to meet tho demand for
guards for the new vessels and at the same time
leave men enough at the stations on shore.
Manning the present vessels in commission will
leave the navy yards without adequate protec-
ton. On the subject of desertion Col. McCaw-
ley says:
THE frequency Of desertion is an alarming
evil from which, in common with the army, we
suffer greatly. In my opinion the cause is that
the men are overworked from there being too
few to do the duty. There are many who en-
list for no other purpose than to secure a home
for the winter season, as desertiOns are always
more common in the spring and early summer
Desertions from ships can only be accounted
for by the officers in command of them, as this
Office has no information on the subject; but
the opinion is haZarded that in many cases it
is caused by insufficient guards making the
duty very hard"

NO NEED FOR FRAUD.
Judge Keith Says the Democrats in Vir.

"It would be Just as reasonable to charge
Jay Gould with picking a mans pocket of % as
it is to say that the democrats Of Virginia used
fraud to defeat Mahone.'
So said Judge Keith of Fauquier county, Va,
last night to STAR reporter. There was no
necessity for fraud" continued the judge, ''for
if ever we had matters in our own hands it was
throughout this campaign. We knew we'll
enough that there is no man in Virginia who
can call out the full democratic vote that Ma
hone can, and we also knew that the real re-
publican leaders were with u.s..
'Were they very active in their opposition
to Gen. MahoneT asked the reporter.
81 have seen some very bitter political fights
in Virginia." replied the judge, "but 1 never
saw such display of venom that shown by
the anti-Mahone republicans. Why, it was i'm
possible for him to win. The only republican
governor we have had since the war, the only
republican Senators in the same period, and
the only republican Congressman-at-large were
all opposed to him. There was not a single
republican newspaper OF any repute but was
against him. am aware that Malone believed
he would get the full negro vote, but he evil

men to whom they looked for advice either

matter. He was told by such republicans as
Cameron, John Wise, Senator Lewis and Rid
dleberger how the election was going to turn

make good their prophecy. Seems to me they
did it, You can say very positively" con-
