Another instance, says our Washing
ton correspondent, of the rottenness Of
navy departments management during
the Spanish war, and of the enormous
sums that favored parties were allowed
to make by means of the exaggerated
prices paid for vessels, appears from the
selling price of the transports Terry
and MCPHERSON, which were bought for
$35O,OOO, cost 100000 for repairs and
alterations, and were sold the other day
for less than $4,000 for the pair. OBJ
viously, somebody profited by these ex-
tortionate prices. If the government
had chosen to exercise its right of emil
nent domain, which extends over ships
in port, it could have taken these yes
sells at its own price, and could still
have been generous, without being Law
ish. But then, the members of thu
ring would have lost their commission

RAIDS ON THE IsTHMus
Daily aud Nightly Occur on the Panama
RAILWAY Line.


Chicago, Aug. ia dispatch from
Colon, Colombia, dated Aug. Ia, says:
Raids continue almost daily or night
Y along the line. owing to the entire
absence of military protection. Last
night Matachin was again raided and
cattle belonging to sympatIizers with
the government We're stolen. Two wo-
men We're kidnapped at Gorgona station
Sunday night, and the Chinese there.
We're pillaged. On most occasions of
this character the. Chinese are the chief
sufferers. Consequently, they are
daily transferring provisions and mer-
chandise to Panama, thus intensifying
want and suffering all along the line.
"Armed guards, consisting of about
fifty, still accompany each passenger
train. The presence of the French
cruiser Suchet tends to allay uneasi-
ness, and the arrival of the United
States gunboat Machias IL anxionsly
awaited. IL Is hoped that she may set
here by Sunday. Beyond the loss of
dynamite and powder tlre railroad has
sustained no injury, and traffic across
the isthmus continues without inter,
ruption, although far fewer local pas
sengers are now crossing. The gov
eminent is concentrating troops from
the more remote provinces,

France was able to show an increase.
in population of 412,364 in fiveyears. In
America there are single cities which
can show that much of an increase in
the same time. Twenty-Five depart
ments show an increase in population
and fifty-nine show decrease. Evi-
IDENTIFY there is still room for baby cul-
ture in France. The deaths and births
are dangerously close together and the
moment the deaths get the upper hand
in the contest, France will decline rap
idly, not only in population, but in en-
ergy and enterprise and in every other
way, for no people can do business on
declining population.-Cedar Rapids

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 81, 1901.
Dun's Review reports the failures for
the second week in this month to have
been 1863. For the same week last year
they were 161.

George Peetz, formerly confidential
clerk and bookkeeper for grain dealer
in Cedar Rapids, and who, at the first
March term of the district court of Linn
county, was convicted of the crime of
murder and sentenced to serve three
years term in the penitentiary at An
smosa has been pardoned by Governor
Shaw, and last Monday was restored to
freedom. teetz was under the intlu-
ence of liquor at the time the crime
was committed, and there was some
doubt as to his being the person who
struck the fatal blow.
