UNITED STATES MAY
BUY PANAMA CANAL

Washington, Nov. 6.-President HUI
lin of the Panama Canal company
finally has submitted to Admiral Wal
ker, the head of the isthmian canal
committee, a proposition on behalf of
his company for the acquisition of all
its rights by the United States gov
eminent. The Panama company has
been restrained up to this moment from
submitting a direct proposition owing
to a clause in the concession which it
holds from the government of Colon
bia. which prescribes forfeiture of the
concession as a penalty for the making
of an effort by the company to trans
fer its rights to another government.
The company's agents therefore have
been obliged to act with extreme eau
ton in making overtures, but in some
way the Colombian government has
been induced to wink at this technical
violation Of the concession. It's terms
are not yet disclosed, and It is proba-
bic that they viii not be until the 18th
milan canal commission publishes Its
report. It is understood. however. that
they are considerably more favora bIe
to this government than were the fg-
ures made to the president three wears
ago. III

stage and prOprietOr's bed room. On
the second floor were the boxes and a
number of bed rooms. The third floor
was partitioned into sleeping apart
ments.
The fire is thought to have been
caused by the explosion Of an oil stove
in the proprietoT's bed room. When
the alarm was sounded the flames had
cut off exit by the stairway. The only
remaining exit was through the side
and front windows. Some Of the wO-
men crawled through the side windows,
dropped to the adjoining buildings and
reached the ground in safety, with
slight injuries.
Laura Russell. Of the musical team
of Emery and Russell, was thrown
from the third story by her partner
D. B. Emery, and fell heavily to the
sidewalk sustaining a broken elbow
and was badly bruised. Emery IS
thought to have tried to rescue or
alarm his friends, for he did not follow

William RushbOlt of Ironwood

and in his fall was caught by a tele-

MISS STONE REPORTED
TO BE ALIVE AND WELL

COnstantinople, Nov. 6.-The officials
Of the United States legation here have
received news through Salonika that
indicate the early release of the cap
tives in the hands of the brigands. On
Oct %, Miss Stone and Madame TsiIka
were both well.
Sofia, Bulgaria. Nov. 6-The brigands
having Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the Am
eriCan missionary, and her companion
Nine. Tsilka. in their custody were in
Bulgarian territory near the Turkish
frontier last week, according to au-
thoritative intelligence. The captives
were lodged in caves and fires were
lighted to protect them from the Sc
we're cold. Since then the brigands and
the women have gone to some place
unknown.
The fact that violent measures. such
as muHlatiOn, to extOrt ransom were
not taken, indicates that the brigands
are under the impression that the
longer they wait the better Will be the
terms obtainabie. This attitude IS re-
garded as being partly due to the pub
Lefty given TO the subscriptions toward
the ransom, and it is increasing the
difficulty experienced by Consul Gen
eraI Dickinson in his efforts to reduce
the brigand's demands.

charge that can be brought against him
is the shipping of bodies in a manner con
trary to law.
When the crates were received at the
freight station the suspicious Of the men
in charge were aroused. as they had
never seen laundry machinery of the
shape of the two crates, nor had they
ever seen il shipped in such a manner.
1t was decided to open the crates and
determine if their contents were really
laundry machinery.

THE EXECUTIVE POWER.
Warming Growth 81 tho Nufsority
Exercised IN the
President

One OF the curious aud startling de
vclopmcntS of modern governments j.
the rapid and almost incredible CON
centration OF power in the hands of
The executive. The hard-fough; bat
ties and the strong opinions Of cen
fury are being practically forgotten
in tho ncw legislation which congress
j. considering or granting.
If the idea OF giving 10 the presi-
dent of the United States the au-
thority 10 lcgiSlatc had been pro-
posed 10 our fOrcfathers there would
have been something akin 20 riot,
and the papers OF the land would
have been filled with dire prophecies
of thc fall Of republican institutions
And yet thar is exactly what i asked

the Philippines. and what would he
granted in bill which rator
Spooner introduced. which delegates
70 the president the authority 10 leg
isiate in the Philippines when. in his
discretion. IT shall become necessary.
Our publicists have held for genera
tionS tnat congress has no authority
TO delegate the power of legislation
10 the president or any other branch
of the government. but il seems to be
certain that this will he done in spite
Of all presidents and all the IDEAS
which mark our past history.
Take another illustration: Cuta's
new constitution. which has more or
less been formed under American
auspices. ignores entirely the SOW
ercignty of the states. which was for
so many years a bitter question in
the broader politics of this country.
Think of the contests that have been
fought over that issue. of the bril-
liant debates in the press and on the
forum. of the marvellous amount of
brain. energy and skilled thought
that have been expended upon il pro
