STRICTLY NEUTRAL.

New York, Uov. 2S.-A dispatch to
the Herald form Panama, Colombia,
says: Feats commemorative of the
18th anniversary of independence of
the isthmus commenced by the pro-
mitigation of a decree permitting
sports of all kinds, bull fights, horse
races, masquerades and special fea-
lures.
The populace has been warned
against any kind of demonstration Of
fensive to Spain, or display of the Gu
ban flag. 1t is feared in some quar-
tiers that clash between the Cubans
and Spaniards here will come before
the feasts come to an end, Nov. 30.
As a precautionary measure to pre-
vent such a clash the Spaniards have
decided to close their saloons until
the celebration is over.

LET JUSTICE BE DONE.

In all cases where it can be done
without the least detriment to the
creditor, the property of the debtor
should be protected from being sacri-
feed, where it is sold either under eX-
ecution, or under foreclosure, or under
a forced sale. This object can easily
be attained by giving the defendant in
a sale under execution, or foreclosure
of a lien, a right to redeem the lands
sold. within two years, by paying the
purchaser the. amount bid by him, to-
gether with ten per cent interest
thereon and all taxes paid by him, and
for all bona fide and valuable i'm
provements made by the purchaser.
The debtor should be authorized to
sell his right of redemption, the pur-
chaser thereof be legally entitled to
redeem on the same terms and con-
ditions as the debtor could have done.
Where the creditor has purchased
lands under execution, or foreclosure,
at less than the debt due him, he may
credit the debtor with the full amount
of the debt and demand that it be paid
by the debtor prior to the redemption
of the land.
Such a law will effectually prevent
the sacrifice of the debtors property
without hurting the creditor at ALL
Weekly Lantern.

BIG DEBT TO UNIVERSITY.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 2S.-Hon.
James H. Fits, treasurer Of the Uni
versity of Alabama for the past 80
years, has addressed the general as
sembly and demanded that a show
ing be made to the institution for the
money due it by the state. Mr.. Fits
proved conclusively that the state had
confiscated within the past half CEN
fury moneys accruing from the sale
of government grants to the institu-
ton aggregating with interst $2,0S0,-
600. The state was the trustee of the
funds and has used them in paying it's
own obligations. 1t pays the univer-
siyt it's interest annually on 100000,
but up to this time has declined to
make any showing for the balance.
Mr.. Fits, who is banker of Tus-
kaloosa, is backed up in his endeavors
by a strong lobby of the university.
The university is willing to listen to
compromise.

VENEZUELA STANDS PAT.

New York, Nov. 2S.-A special to
the Herald from Caracas, Venezuela,
says: In an interview here Senator
Andrade, Venez uelan minister to the
United States, characterized as alb
surd the claim mhade by Crown Sur
veyor Harrison that the fifty year
clause in the arbitration agreement
between Great Britain and the United
States will not affect England's own
ership of the Barima gold fields. Many
similar assertions, the minister said,
would be apt to be made during the
proceedings by the arbitration tribu-
nal.
The Venezuelan cabinet crisis has
delayed the presentation Of the arbi-
tration treaty to congress, but it is
likely that the full text Of the treaty
will soon be reported when it will be
promptly published in the Official Ga
zette.

THE MARKET RIGGED.
An Australian The Victim OF A Stock
Swindle.

An Australian The Victim OF A Stock
Swindle.
New York. Nov. 2S.-A special ca
BILE dispatch to the Sun from London,
says:
The most sensational case of rigging
the market for many years came to
a crisis on the London stock exchange
last Wednesday. Shares in the Lady
Hampton new Australian mine, the
actual par value of which is five dol
lars, reached the nominal quotation
of 1.500 each. The history of the
deal is this:
A few weeks ago the stock of the
Lady Hampton company was offered
to the public in the usual way at par,
before the allotment was made a big
jobber in the Australian market man,
ed Stoneham undertook to break the
price Of the stock, which was quoted
in advance Of the issue at a slight
premium. He offered the stock in L.
600 share lots a little under the mar
ket. The company's broker bought
5000 shares from him. Mr.. Stone
ham then endeavored to obtain the
stock for delivery, by subscribing in
the names of his clerks for 5000
shares The directors of the COM
pany determined to punish him. They
sent letters of regret to all the public
subscribers and allotted all the shares
to themselves and their friends. Mr..
Stoneham found it impossible to obtain
the stock to complete his bargain at
any but prohibitive figures. 1t would
cost him $4,500,000 to get 1900 shares
at today's quotations.
The men who have so successfully
rugged the market over to compromise
with him for S1,0O0,000 in cash. Mr..
Stoneham offers $150,000. The stock
exchange committee had appointed
next Monday for settlement but they
have postponed the matter indefinite
ly. Mr.. Stoneham has invoked the
law and begun a prosecution against
his prosecutors for conspiracy. The
chances are that the matter will be
compromised.
