That Panama Canal

Nj Hutin. President of the Panama Canal Company, Is In Washington, and authorizes the statement. that before the series of conferences which he has commenced with Admiral Walker. chairman of the Isthmian Canal Com mission. ends, he will make to the United States government a definite state in the proposition the very low est figures. in dollars and cents, that offer to sell the Panama Canal, and the Frenchmen will take for their ditch. At the same time. NJ. Hutin says he will show Admiral Walker and any other man connected with the United States government his credentials au- thorizing him to make this sale and guaranteeing perfection of title.
 4 pecularity about the proceedings, however. and that which makes things look wobbly. is that Admiral Walker can get no definite answers to his sew eral queries concerning the financial condition of the company. A large number of bonds. guaranteed by the French government. are outstanding as q lien against the canal. The dis position of these bonds Is question which has not yet been satisfactorily explained.
 Because of the evident shiftiness of the negotiations. the old story has been revived that the Panama Canal scheme is simply bing used to defeat the Nicaragua project.
 Meanwhile the canal company seems to be having interesting financial times on the isthmus as evidenced by the following from the New York Herald:
 The Gazeta de Panama, an official organ of the Colombian government. has published legal notice of the Panama courts announcing the seizure of the Panama Canal Company's large three-story stone building in Cathedral Square. Panama. to enforce payment by the canal company of S30.- 900 due to Henry Schuler, United States citizen.

ARBITRATION SENTIMENT GROWING
Industrial Commission Find, Employers
 and Employee, Favor Arbitration

The Industrial Commission has made public lts report on labor dis putes and arbitration. It is a conn prchcnsiye document reviewing the testimony Of the witnesses that have appeared before tao commission on he subject
 Local systems of collective bargain Ing and agreements between employees. lt ls stated have becn most highly developed ln the building. brewery. boot and shoe. wood working. and metal trades. some branches of the clothing trade. and the transportation business; in other words. where both employers and employees are strong est organized
 A growing movement is noted to- ward establishing State and local ma chlnery or arbitration in the bitu- minOus coal industry. where there Is now, at least In most mining distrcts. no effective method Of disposlng of the minor disputes which arise from time to time.
 Systems of arbitration as to specific disputes have been established in formal manner. and on a national scale in the stove molding. the gen. eral foundry. the machinists (now not in existence,) and the printing trades. Among these the printing trade is tho only one which provides for reference of the dispute to an outside person where the direct rep resentatiye the two sides fall to agree.
 ne report praises State boards of arbitration for doing much toward ;urthering industrial peace.
 Legislation establishing compulsory arbitration as yet has been enacted only in the Australian colonies of New Zealand and West Australia where tEe system Is very far-reaching
 The representatives of employers and working men. who have testified before the commission almost uni formly have opposed copulsory arbi- tration.

BRAVE ADMIRAL SCHLEY
The Officers Under the Admiral Making
 Veritable Hero of Their Chief

As predicted a week ago the evil dence presented in behalf of the appli- cant in the Schley court of inquiry has been as interesting to peruse as a story book. The witnesses have not dealt so much in technicaltles as in former weeks, hence the general pub lie is enabled to comprehend what is being talked about.
 Capt. Cook of the Brooklyn. was the first witness for admiral Schley. and his testimony threw new light on the case. His evidence was consd- cred especially valuable because he acted unofficlally as Schley's chief of staff He warmly endorsed his super for officers conduct throughout the campaign.
 Capt. Cook was followed by other officers Of the Brooklyn. all or whom warmly endorsed the cool and cour- ageous conduct of the Admiral. The navigator of the Oregon gave a graphic description of the battle fav orable to Admiral Schley
 Last weeks work Of the court closed with Friday to enable Admiral Schley's att2rneys time in which to further prepare their side of the case The inquiry was resumed Monday.
 Attorney Raynor. counsel for Ad miral Schley. announced that he hoped to conclude the examination of wit nesses this week.
 There has been some inquiry as to Admiral Schley's standing in the navy since he was placed on the re- tired list because of age. but it ap- pears that all questions on this point have been settled by the department having assigned the admiral to act i've duty" at the court of inquiry while it Is in progress. This action was taken to prevent any question as to the effect the admirars retire ment would have on the action O. the court,

THE PAWNlNG HABIT.
How It Appeals to the Person of Arr
 tIStIc Temperament.

Americans are always adopting :.e tricks and manners of Europe. but they usually fastcn upon those which are sen sible and picturesque. It is an open ques- tiOn. however. how far the pawning habit will spread ia tEis country. Several wo- men have it already and declare that they are making converts. The Mont de Pietc in Paris, for instance, is a highly re- spactab'e institution much patronized by nll classes. Students who need money just before their remittances from home como in or who want to help q friend who has already visited too often ma tante" it is the aunt. and not the uncle, who keeps the French pawnshop) think nothing of strolling round to the noun tain of piety and depositing spare valua- bles. In this country the pawn ticket has been looked upon as a badge of shame, but once in awhile m original spirit re- turning from Europe keeps up the old happy go lucky custom here. One wo- man who lives near the so called charity" pawnshop in Twenty-frst street dis coursed openly of her habit the other day.
 "Why not?" she said. Il make my liv- ing. and fairly good one. too. by draw ing things for the magazines l have no salary, but average S2O a week, more or less. For three weeks may take in very little then $50 will come in lump. Now.
 If 1 have $50 l am not going to econo- mize, and by the time l have sent off some to my little sister and bought a hat and treated the girls to the theater and had q few jolly little lunches l am broke again. My sketches have been accepted all right. ani it is only matter of days. So off 20 to the charity pawnshop. which is as nice as nice can be. and put up anything 1 can spare. The other day. for instance. I was reduced rather low. but had enough to keep me going until my check came in, when I got n letter from Aunt Maria saying she would be in New York for a few days shopping. Aunt Maria lives in q one horse town and is the jolliest old soul that ever was born.
 ''To bave her come here and not delight her soul with wild and reckless dissipa- ton in the shape of table d'hote lunches with wine is quite out of the question. So my watch and my best ring were promptly offered up on the altar of my devotion to Aunt Maria. Yesterday l put her on the train for home. blisSfully happy at the riotous living of the last week. Would you have me make that dear creature foreso the sowing of wild oats in her old age. or would you have me bother my friends by borrowing in style? No. indeed. At the pawnshop pay my 10 ar 2O cents for the conven- fence. nobody is wiser, and nobody is put out in the least. IL Is the best plan. What do you say? It would be better if didn't spend the $5O the moment got it? l suppose it would be the wisest plan, but you have to consider the artistic tenn perament. For that the pawnshop Is the comfort and stay. Try my plan, and you1l see what fun it is."-New York
