THE EFFECT ON BUSINESS.
An Old Law Used to Prevent the
Importation of Coin.
Railroad and Canal Companies May
Be Compelled to Adopt the Gold
Standard in Payment of Labor,
The Syndicate's Operations Rap-
idly Forcing silver Coin to
Prominence.

COLON, Nov 3-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press.)-A syndicate
was formed month since among the
leading merchants of Panama and Co
lon to control, the silver currency in
circulation on the Isthmus of Panama,
and has been so far successful enough
to seriously affect the Panama COM
pany and in a lesser degree the Pa
mama railroad to their detriment. 1t
has caused a reduction in the premium
on gold from 245 per cent to 200 per
cent and it now looks as if gold would
go still lower in consequence OF the
expectation Of large sums to New
York, London and elsewhere and the
locking up of other sums The scarcity
of silver coin is seriously felt in bust
ness transactions and United States,
English and French coin circulates
almost as freely as the legal coinage
of the country.
Both the Panama canal and the rail
road companies have trouble to get
sufficient Colombian coins to pay i'd
borers, unless they buy from the syn
dictate at the price dictated by it. To
circumvent this movement the Panam
railroad lately purchased $4,000 of Co
lOlnDldIp silver lW New 1OIh dl lIlG
market price, which was about S214
for 81 United States gold, and shipped
it to Colon; but before it arrived the
syndicate was informed of the fact
by cable and application was made to
the governor of Panama to enforce a
law passed in 1892, which prohibits the
Importation of silver coin of any coun-
try less than 900 fine. This law was
passed to prevent the importation and
circulation of Peruvian and Mexican
soles, which at the time were at a
greater discount than Colombian sill
YER The governor refused to allow
the railway company to land the
money, even though it was the legal
currency of the country, and relief was
sought by cabling the national author
tiles at Bogota, the capital but up to
the time of the sailing of the vessel
upon which The coin was shipped no
reply had been received and it was
returned to New York.
If the national authorities uphold
the action of the government of Pa
nama and legal coinage of the republic
Is prohibited from being returned if
once exported. the syndicate can make
what coins remain in the country of
equal value to gold if it so desires.
Abroad the value is controlled by the
price of silver, and at present 81 Co
lomtian silver is worth about 461h
cents in United States currency. The
Panama Canal company, which is now
employing about $500 men, who receive
from 80 cents to S1.5O per day. secures
its silver currency for its monthly paw
rolls by selling drafts on Paris. London
or New York and is at the mercy of
the syndicate unless it adopts a gold
basis in payment for labor. or can buv
Colombian silver in New York or Lon

LAND TAX DECISION.
Also the Important Matter Settled
That Beans Are Vegetables

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE case
of the Winona and st. Peter Land
company VS.. the State of Minnesota,
which was decided today by the United
States Supreme Court, involves the
question whether the state has, in dis
regard of the constitution of the United
States, passed any law impairing the
obligations of contracts referring to a
law providing for back taxes on land
which have escaped taxation. The de-
ciSion was rendered by Justice Brewer
and held the law to be valid.
Justice Brown delivered the opinion
in the case of G. w. Patton ct al VS.
the United States constituting the tariff
law of 1883 as to whether wool tops
broken I'D into artificial waste could
be admitted at the rate of duty pro-
vided in the law for wooden waste He
held that they could not be and that
they must pay the higher duty pro-
vided on wool tops.
The court decided officially that
beans are vegetables. The question
arose in the case of Hyam, Son and
others against the collector of the port
of New York. The plaintiffs sought to
duties paid upon beans under
the vegetable classification, claiming
that they should be admitted free as
seeds. Chief Justics Fuller read the
opinion of the court holding that as
beans are regarded as vegetables by
common usages they should be so con-
Sidered by customs officials.
The Chen Yuen Sing case involving
the Chinese exclusion act, was advanc-
ed and set for argument on the first
Monday in March.

THE HORSE SHOW.
Thirteen Hundred Thoroughbreds on
Exhibition at New York.


NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE eleventh
annual horse show, which began to-
day at Madison Square garden, bids
fair to excel all its predecessors as an
exhibit of the quadrupeds of the
equine race and the bipeds of society.
Under the management of the National
Horse Show association this fete has
become one of the greatest institutions
of the year.
The work of preparing for show
of this magnitude is enormous when it
is considered that 1,300 horses have to
be provided for, half as many hostlers
and groomS and a regular army OF
ring attendants, ushers, callers and
special officers. AS early as 8 o'clock
this morning the ticket spectators
were on hand doing business and be-
fore the day had ended announcement
was made that all reserved seats for
the week had been disposed of.
Among the noted prize winners on
exhibition are such horses as Imported
Simon Magnus, Judge Morrow, Silver
Chimes, Hilda Wilkes, Boattie Chimes,
Oscar William, Leonatus. Martha
Wilkes, Mayfiower, Mambrino Belle,
Matchless of Londsborough. Fire
works, Imp, Princess Dagmar and
Glitter.
During the afternoon and evening,
horses of the several classes entered
were paraded about the ring by their
owners or their trainers for the in
spection of the judges. Today several
horses were driven by ladies.
A new rule this year requires that
before prize is awarded to a horse
it must first pass veterinary exam
ination. Accordingly five horses in
every class are picked by the judges
for examination and out. of that five
the three prize-winners and the highly
commended horses are selected
Among the occupants of the boxes
which surrounded the arena were many
of the leaders of fashion, the ladies
elegant toilettes.

CUBAN PLANS.
inc Revolutionary Party Fayors
ForcibIe Intervention.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11-President
Thomas Estrada Palma, the head of the
cuban revolutionary party will come to
Washington within the next few davs.
1t is expected that his visit will result
IN more definite line of policy regard
ing what Cubans will suggest or urge
upon Congress as the most desirable
course for the United States to adopt.
Thus far the policy of the Cubans has
6eeM toward securing from the United
States recognition of the belligerent
rights of the insurgents. Now. however.
there is said to be an influential element
against this course. They saw it would
prove disastrous to American shipping,
as it would permit Spain to seize Ameri-
can merchant ships suspected of carry
ing contraband goods, on the high seas.
whereas these seizures cannot be made
at present time outside the three mile
limit of the Cuban coast Instead of
recognition to the insurgents, it is be
ing urged that the United States should
adopt steps to put an end to the strug-
gle in Cuba by forcible intervention if
necessary as was proposed bv President
Grant in 1875 during the last Cuban up-
rising. This question will be among those
to come before President Palma when
he reaches Washington.

VIII Take bombs to Awaken Him.

The opinion is freely expressed that
nothing short of naval demonstration
will awaken the Turks to a. real:za-
ton of the actual condition of affairs.
Further disorders are reported from
different sections, and the modifying
of the army reserves IS progressing so
slowly that they might just as well
have been left at home, and the gem
eral impression prevails stronger than
ever today that European intervention
in administration of the affairs of the
Turkish empire will very soon become
absolutely necessary to avert further
and more serious bloodshed The
porte seems insensible to what is going
on, or utterly incapable of appreciate
ing the extent to which anarchy has
spread the last few weeks. No serious
outbreak is apprehended here. as the
British feet is within easy steaming
distance of the Dardanelles. but in
Spite of the desperate efforts of the
Turkish authorities to suppress the real
facts, matters are daily growing worse
and worse in the provinces.
The English mission near Jerusalem
has been attacked by a riotous mob.
The missionary escaped, but some of
the servants were killed.

never seems to lag. no matter how
adverse the circumstances may be.
The special contribution OF yester-

and women who have had the work

refusing TO allow work on the

money for such purpose in hand.
Now that the treasury has been
repIeui-hed 1t l. quite certain that
the work will be continued.
