! PANAMA, Immense Supplies Will
 Be Needed. Efforts to Keep the Business for American and Not FOreigo
 Vessels.

New York, Frfday, Aug. 22--Refer- ring to the fact that the construction of the Panama canal will necessitate the transportation of hundreds of cargoss of construct un material. food supplies for workmen, etc., the Journal of Com merce says:
 Panama and Colon are foreign ports, and there is nothing therefore to pre- rent foreign shipowners from compet- ing at low rates for carrying material. It is said by q representative of the terial required in the construction of the canal will certainly exceed Si0, GOO, : GOO, in addition to food supplies. This material will consist very largely of cement, granite, lumber and machinery.
 The lumber will undoubtedly come largely from Oregon and that section of much concern to shipowners on the At lantic ocean. but in the case of cement, stone and machinery the items will be of great importance, aud communica- tions have already been sent to the gov ernmeut at Washington with view to seeing if some way cannot be decided upon whereby this enormous carrying movement can be confined to American ships. It is proposed that a construc- tion of the coastwise law could be made declaring the six-mile zone on each side ot the canal to be American territory, and this would convert Panama and Oolen inLo domestic ports. This zone, under the treaty with Colombia, is merely leased to the United States, as Colombia does not relin4uish her sover- eighty.
 Some doubt is expressed, whe; her the government could therefore assume the ports of Panama and Colon without. in- curing international complications. Under the bill as passed by congress no restl iction of the carrying trade to American vessels can be made, and American sbipowners claim that they will not be able to meet the competition of foreign vessels in this trade, for the reason that large number of fruit vessels are available for the service, largely Norwegian vessels, which bring fruit north and have virtually no south bound cargo. These vessels would nat urally be able to carry south bound cargo at much lower rates than could American vessels, which must make their entire expense on south-bound cargo and return north practically in ballast.

BOUND 0NER:  Thofp Who. Salted a. Flambeau Claim ThOrp Worked the Same Game
 4 .iB. Wood a Few
 Weeks Ago.

John w. Watson, alias J. Thorpson, alias John ". Thorp, the man who 'salted" the Flambeau river claim and then sold it to John w. Cor>oa, of the Cbrsor Gold 'Afning Company, was yesterday bound over to the grand jury in th -.-lnn of $l; 50G No' being cable t6 procure bail, Thorp was returned to iail. ,The- chsrge ppe'eered 2csiust him is ohtaiains money by false pre- lenses.
 Thorp was the name under which he booked when he obtained pdSsage for Seattle cn the steamer Oregon. On Monday he told Mir. Corson that h $ right name was Thorp and that his wife lives,in San Francisco Thorp in tears told Nr, Corson about his wife and insisted in reading letter from Mrs. Thorp.
 Mir Corson says that Thorp un- ieuhssdly had an acconpIiee in the saltins business, but Thorp rrefused to divrlSe his name, or even tc aem't that he had a 'par,ner in the affair. The punishment for crime of this kind is Imprisonment for mot less than one year.
 Since the publication by THE NUGGET of the salting of tae tlAmbeau river claim it develops that Thorp worked the same swindle a few weeks ago on J.B. Wood, of the Nome Exploration Company. Just how much money he lost in the transaction is not known, bot it Was nos more thana few hundred dollars. The swiudle was worked in much. the same way as ip the second case, but MT Wood is at less to know how Thorp managed to set the gold dtlt ineo the dirt from which the pans were taken. He advancs the theory shat the. shovel used to dig up the dirt from the. hole may have been hollow near the shaak and ths dust filtered out through,an aperture which should have heldsa screw. Mr Wood says thsDThorp was watched carefully while the examination was being made Of the ground. But the fraud was discovered andtho mistake of saying nothing about it was made, hence Thorp. Was en- outraged to T. ake the second attempt.
 Mir. -Corson say sit is simply d case of 'Saltng,,i that is all. While the Cor son Miaing Oompany's expert took a pan of dirt loom surface hole to wash, it. g. few feet away, Thorp got in his work while the expert back was turned. The expert became excited at once and the sating was easy there after. Mir. CorsCn has the gold taken from the salted holes. It is,hne and is largely impregnated with black and ruby sand.

Not Sore, but Sorry
for Mr.. Moon.

Dan is not sore, Mr.. Moon, he is
sorry for you. Sorry because you
have always proven yourself to be
such an unpopular candidate for Of
flee; sorry, because you persist in
seeking office and each time when de-
feated, feel sore.
Dan was not delegate and did not
attend the convention where you
charge one of the delegates was tam
pered with. He does not believe that
any of the delegates that attended the
convention could be tempered with.
Dan paid but very little attention to
that convention. He did not ask q
single delegate to vote against your
wishes, much less attempt to ''cor-
rupt" them. He knew that you had
been turned down hard in Oneida
county and that your gum shoe"
campaign was failure.
Cheer up Grin, the rogues will all
be turned out of Office some day and
then you and all of your friends will
have a chance to serve the people.

The Fair Sex Can Vote,

So says Attorney General E. r.
Hicks, who has rendered his opinion,
in which he holds that women have
the right to vote for State and Coun-
ty superintendent of schools at the
coming general election on Novem-
Der 4th. OF late there has been con-
siderable discussion on this subject
throughout the state, and many en-
quiries have been made to Secretary
Of State Froelich, who has asked for
the opinion of Attorney Gen. Hicks,
and after a careful examination of
the law he decided that women were
entitled to vote for those two officers
as considerable Cinterest in school
matters have been taken by the ladies
of late, there will no doubt large
number of them will avail themselves
of the opportunity to vote for the
state and county school superinten-
dents.

A MOST COWARDLY AC1.
A Separator and Engine
Blown Up by Dynamite
Sunday Night.

About $3.50 o'clock Sunday evening,
the residents of this city were start
led by two load explosions, and the
streets were soon filled with people
looking for the cause of the explosion.
Upon investigating it was found that
one of the most lowest and dirtiest
piece OF business had been done, that
some black legged coward had placed
stick of dynamite into the flues of
threshing engine and another stick
of dynamite was placed in brand
new separator which had been used
but three days, and both owned by
the Croker Brothers. 1t is needless
to say that the engine and boiler was
destroyed, as parts of it was picked
up over 100 feet way. The separator
can be repaired but at considerable of
expense. The engine and separator
was on Saturday Ohauled near Mr..
Nash's place in the field, and the sneak
that done the job had good oppor-
tunitY to get away without being
caught. A person who would do an
act like that, would be mean enough
burn houses, stab in the back and ev-
en- murder. 1t is to be deplored that
our quiet and honorable city should
shelter such a degraded person as the
one that done that job Sunday night,
and who ever it was, if ever found
out, will no doubt receive their just
reward.
1t appears that with such bold
face coward in our midst, that nobody
or anything is safe. The officers have
no clue to the culpit, but it is earnest
ly hoped that the right one may be-
caught.
