Troubles in the Isthmus.

The Colombian government controls the Isthmus of Panama, across which lies the railroad that all America is interested in, and will continue to be interested in until the Nicaragua canal is opened to commerce. The Colom- I bian government has many insurgents on its hands, and it's neighbor, vene- zueia, Is believed to have designs against at least the present govern ment of Colombia. The real extent of the Venezuelan intrigue Is unknown, and this renders the situation all the more complex.
 As matters stand the insurgents hold Colon at tn Atlantic end of the Pan- anna Railroad, while the Colombian government holds Panama at the other end of it. The Colombian has as yet been unable to retake Colon, and the insurgents have not seized Panama. Traffic across the isthmus is thus sub jected to some risks.
 This brings up the rights of the United States under the treaty of 1S46, entered into between this count l try and New Grenada, as Colombia was then called. This treaty not only guarantees uninterrupted traffic to this country across the isthmus, but in 1t ''the United States guarantee, posi- lively and efficaciously, to New Gren- ada by the present stipulation per feet neutrality of the aforementioned isthmus with the view that the free transit from the one to the other sea may not be interrupted or embar. rassed in any future time while this treaty exists"
 Under this treaty the United States could and should fight of intermed- ding foreign countries, and even vene. zuela, but it would scarcely be justified in judging between citizens of Colom- bia itself. And yet free transit must be maintained from sea to sea across the narrow isthmus., As things stand the United States cannot well refuse to recognize the government of Presi- dent Marrowquin, even if the insur- gents are more liberal and have a better cause. The gunboat Machias is at Colon, and the Iowa is at Pan- ana, but thus far neither has taken an active part in the struggle that is going on.
 If railroad transit across the isthmus is not interfered with there will be little excuse for action on the part of the United States in any respct. We have nothing else at stake, and thus far no blow has been reported that endangers railroad traffic. Some United States marines have been landed, but these will simply no doubt act to keep the railroad intact and open. Outside of that we need not act. We must keep the railroad open, and protect traffic upon it. But neither side in the present war seems inclined to threaten or endanger either.

coNeRATULATEs SULTAN.
President Roosevelt Teiegraphs Him
 On His Birthday.

Washington, November 2S-Having re- ceived official notice from the Turkish minister at Washington that yesterday was the anniversary of the birth of the Sultan, President Roosevelt sent that monarch a personal telegram of congrat- ulation. This was in return for a similar compliment paid him by the Sultan on the occasion of his birthday last month.
 The custom of exchanging congratula- tory messages of this kind was inaugu- rated great many years ago, and is ob- served by most of the European rulers. The late Queen Victoria kept informed with respect to the birthdays of American Presidents and always. sent a personal telegram of reorganization. The compli- ment always was reciprocated on the an- niversaries of her birth.

Sugar in Germany.

The German Reichstag is in session, and the government has laid before it its new tariff bill, which strikes direct ly at many American products. It is a protective tariff of the Dingley sort, and Germany stands ready no doubt to declare that what is sauce for the American goose may be sauce for the German ganoer. We are not in a po- sition to object with reason and in- f1uence, for the Germans have as good a right to erect a Chinese wall as we have.
 The sugar question enters into this new tariff. We propose to discriminate against beet sugar, and on December 10 at Brussels sugar conference is to be held at which, it is said, Austria, Germany and France will be repre- sented. All of these countries .pay ex- port bounties on sugar. Russia really does likewise. The object of the con- ference is to start a movement for the purpose of doing away with all bounties. hoping in that way to keep the United States from admitting Gu ban sugar free these countries desire of the unitcd States.

CONDITION CROP ESTIMATES.
Annual Guess of New York Cotton Ex-
 change Members.

Special to the Times Democrat.
 New York, November 2S.-One hundred and forty-two members of the Cotton Exchange got together late Tuesday night and prepared an estimate of this 10,50o,000 bales, as compared with i0o75.- GOO bales last year. The smallest estimate was 9,5oo.oOO, as compared with 9.10oOOo last year, and the highest 11,150.000. as compared with II. 100000 bales last year.
 The average at various southern ex- changes seems to be about the same fig ures-10, 900 to 10. 100000 bales-with l0,- Oo0.oOO as the prevailing average. As the crop usually turns out more than the av- craze estimate in this city, the crop this year is expected to be larger than these figures. For this reason many look for a larger crop estimate by the bureau than last year by several hundred thousand bales.
 Those who are most familiar with con- ditions of the crop in the south. through agents and otherwise, and who were nearest the actual crop last year, look for a bureau estimate of 10.300,00O or 1O.- 100000 bales. member of a prominent exporting house, who thought the figures would be over 100000 last year. now looks for 10.SOO,0O0, but does not believe the crop is Il. 900. 900 bales. Unless receipts increase heavily. it is not likely the com- mercial crop will reach this figure. ysof
