THE PHILADELPHIA INCIDENT

PANAMA, Dec. l0.-News has jus.
reached here from La Guayra that the
Philadelphia Incident had been
satisfactorily settled. United States
Minister Scruggs determined 10 see
that the ship was not molested, and

port. Captain Chambers steamed in-
TO port aud dropped anchor under the
guns OF the United States warsbip
keArsargc, and Captain Crownshielu
sent O crowd OF marines aboard her.
The customs house officers came on
board and demanded new register.
Acting under Consul Hanna's advice,
Captain Chambers refused TO accede
10 the demand anu the Philadelphia
was forbidden to 40 to the wharf and DE-
uied permission to discharge her cargo.
Things were assuming n serious shape,
but the agent Of the Boulton Red ID
Line arranged things satisfactorily
with tho Venezuelan authorities d.
rect. Captain Chambers gave up
new register by the direction OF the
agents line, anu q fine OF 400 francs
was paid for the ship leaving port
without register on the last voyage.
rhe collector Of tho port returned the
old register, and the barbormaster per-
mitted the ship to land. Throughout

to have been turned to building large
blocks and selliug lots. Instead OF OPEN
inc farms and mines and starting manu-
featuring establishments, there mas been
u rush to put it into lots, land, buildings
and other productive enterprises, and
the result is that oil the money is tied up
as etfectually as it could be, and zine out

general stagnation of business. The
history of Wichita Kansas City, Los An

ed acre nov and there is no immediate
prospect OF any thing better.
The country has m abundance of tim
Der, iron, coal, the precious metal, navl-
Cation, the fisheries, together with good
amount OF good farming land, and yet with
all these natural resources it is in con-
dilion bordering on bankruptcy which IS
the natural result of the wild booming and
speculation OF the past five years.
Tacoma is probably in better condition
than Seattle for the reason that rebuild
ing Seattle after the great fire of 1890 not
oniy look her capital but absorbed her
energies much Of the time since, while
| Tacoma has moved steadily along and has
had the backing Of the Norhcrn Pacihc
railroad. otil Tacoma is dull also Mt
present, in iact quite dull, and in nearly
MS had condition az Seattle.
Wnle have written about the condi-
ton of this country is not written with
the intention OF lettering anybody with
capital from coming to this country, tor
indeed. i believe ii to DC good place in
which to use capital protitably in produce
i've enterprise, but it is desired to discour-
age people OF little or no capital from
tearing up and seeking new location ell

The Revolt Against Hill
fSew York SUM-

Politicians all over the town received
word Friday from a mysterious source
that the greatest political upheavel Of the
century would occur at the Murray hill
Hotel M night. The Democrats we're no.
ticcd that they were. in Imminent danger
The Republicans were Informed that there
was news ahead that would tickle them.
All the newspapers we're requested to
send reporters to the hotel. To an inqui-
rer, who asked what it all meant, one Of
the rinslcaders aaid:
"Cleaviand is knocked out, and now We
propose to demolish Hill"
Said another one who was present last
night:
"Ihis movement may turn the State
over to the Republicans, but We don't care
big apple for that SO long az David Is.
Hill is defeated
The meeting WAS called for 81 o'clock:
At that time there we're twenty newspaper
reporters present, with Mr.. Ellcry Ander-
son and two Of Mr.. Anderson's friends.
That was the sentiment that brought
together most of the little army of revo-
lutionists which assembled Friday night
st the Murray Hill Hotel.
Avowcdly it was not Cleveland mani
festation, but Francis NJ. Scott probably
struck the right Keynote when he de-
ciarcd in the course Of his speech before
the malc0ntents, of the machine had
called tho State Convention for the pur-
pose of nominating Cleveland all Of AZ
would be at home tonight"
The revolt against Hill has begun. The
forces of rebellion sre organizing. The
knives are out and are being whetted TO
"trip David B. up the back"
IF we can't make We can mar. Hill
killed Cleveland; now we can kill HILL.
AT 91s the meeting got under way. IT
had been previously announced that It
was to he an open meeting. But Colonel
Robert c. Monroe looked over the room
and said to Sun reporter: There are ncs
enough here for general meeting. and 60
We will have en- executive session.
The reporters then retired BY iavita-
ton.

He was interviewed OH the question last
week by several newspapers Here is
what he said:
oh, yes; | have read about the insur-
rectiom, or rebellion, as they term it, re-
plicd the senator But, to be candid, l
an not surprised Most Of those named
rs being present ut the meeting have been
nv enemies, aud IRE also the enemies OF
democracy. They opposed me in 1885,
when ran for governor, and they favored
the election of the republican candidate,
Warner Miller. They have since arrayed
themselves against the election Of dem
ocrat;c legislature and the election OF To-
cal democrats to responsible Offices, pre-
icrrlng to Join hands with the repnb!i-
cans"
But how about this snap convention?
The senator's smile became more cxpnn-
s;vc rs he replied:
There has been considerable said with
regard to that coming convention, but 1T
seems TO me uncaled for. The national
convention is called month earlier this
wear. and ! presume the state committee
decided TO follow suit a patriotic day
CHANGING to tall near the date contempn-
ted. perhaps induced the chairman OF the

II the kicking delegation in the city
could have seen the peaceful, calm and
con1cntod look Of Senator Hill as he an
Swered HE queries, they would hardly feel
much encouragement.
The fact that both political parties have
decided upon the times and places OF hold
ing their national conventions has led to
considerable discussion within the last
few DAVIS as 10 the nominees Of the rcspec-
tive parties. Indeed, matters have begun
10 assume political shape and The chances
are that both conventions will make NOM

February No of the Review OF Reviews
consisting of two sketches of David s..

wiser of Governor Hill, should know pre-

miles over the toughest road in Virginia

land carries more coal than the whole OF
