RUS-IA AND THE PANAMA SCANDAL
The developments in the Panama Canal scandal are
watched here with the keeneSt interest. and It may
be said anxiety. The comfort TO Germany Is
that the spectacle Of corruption and confusion among
the French political leaders lessons the Russian desire
TO make France an ally. Advices received here from
St. Petersburg show that Information recently reached
the Gar that a certain Russian paper had received
from Paris the sum OF $4,000 for advocating n
Russo French alliance. The Gar at once ordered an
inquiry to be made. which resulted IN the discovery
that the report was not Only true, but that part Of the
brides distributed by the Panama Canal Company had
been accepted by prominent persons in Russia.
The German Foreign Office Is hopeful that General
Wcricr. the new German Ambassador to Russia, will
succeed in deacling the Car from France and 50
lead TO a new grouping of the Powers. Another View
OF the situation is that the chaos In France may
produce an adventurer who would hazard war with
Germany as the best stroke 10 carry himself into
power
TIE ATTACKS on HERR LoEwE.
The admission made by Herr Loewe. the Hebrew
small manufacturer. that he Offered to supply
France with the machinery necessary for the manu-
acure Of Lebe rifles has caused renewed vlr1llence
I'm The Judenhetze The papers. which are making
litter attacks upon Herr LOewe, ignore te open fact
that Klprp's works continually supply Russia with
guns and ammunition. and that they executed large
orders for that country the time the nations forming
the Trrle Alliance-Gormany. Austria and Italy
Russia. Even the COLOGNE Gazette which has
hitherto been above the anti Semitic craze attacks
Herr Loewe's offer strengthening the assertions Of
the antisemite-s that the Hebrews have national
feeling.

THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION.
Nothing beyond rumor has been heard here Of the
alleged communications exchanged by the European
Governments in regard to the American restrictions
upOn immigration The report that such communica-
lions had passed had It's origin In an article pub

methods against Europeans that are unworthy Of a
civilized country. The article IS not thought TO have
