WASHINGTON LETTER.

Republican senator's and mem
bers are to be treated to new ex
perience during the coming cam
paign and many of them do not
relish the prospect. The Presi
dent has announced to his friends
that he has not given up the fight
for Cuban reciprocity and that he
intends to 90 out into the States
whose members Of Congress have
opposed his Cuban policy and
preach his doctrine of reciprocity
with Cuba to the great discomtit-
ure of those members and senator's
who will stand for re election.
Not content with having caused Il
split in the party which already
augurs i'll for the coming elections,
Mr.. Roosevelt will carry the fight
into the very bailiwicks of his op
ponents, and, as a Republican
member from Minnesota said. pa
thetically, Yesterday, "The result
will be that the President will
stand fair to have Democratic
in the House, at
least, to carry out his pet
schemes" and he added, signif
cantly, "But you wait until the
national convention"

Every effort is being made by
the Administration to minimize
the error committed by Admiral
Crowinshield in making public his
endorsement on the finding of the
court of inquiry which investigat-
ed the trouble which certain mem
bers of the crew of the Chicago
got into in Venice. 1t is said that
the Admiral has been treated with
chilling Indifference by the Ameri-
cans he has met abroad and that
he conceived the idea that he
would, in a measure, secure popu-
larity by dealing most leniently
with the young American officers
who became slightly intoxicated
and -precipitated street row in
Venice. The Navy Department,
however, fearing that the Admir-
al's Characterization of the Vene-
tian courts and iails would provoke
indignation from Italy, kept the
report secret. This displeased the
so he gave to the London
newspapermen the finding of the
court and his endorsement, and as
u result the Italian Ambassador
registered a prompt protest with
the Secretary of State and the end
is not yet.

Many Potatoes.
Large Acreage viii be Planted In This State
Next Year.

An unusually large area will be
planted with potatoes next season by
Pennsylvania farmers. This is us
ually the case after a season OF high
prices, which stimulates production
until during some seasons the crop
cannot be given away. All agree
that the present high prices of pota-
toes is caused by a shortage in the
local crop. 1t is also believed that
as soon as the weather opens in the
spring potatoes will be shipped into
the state from abroad and the prices
will fall to more nearly their normal
condition.
The belief of the farmers in this To-
cality is that the shortage is largely
local, and that Maine and the more
northern potato producing stat.s have
a good crop stored away, which they
cannot bring out while the present
cold weather lasts. Farmers say they
always expect potatoes and little pigs
to be high when they have none to
sell, and that this rule may be depend
cd upon to work out every time.

Must Stop, Look and Listen.

A decision of interest 10 all who
have occasion to cross railroad tracks,
was rendered on Monday by the
Supreme Court. The railway CON-
panies says the opinion, own the
tracks upon which their cars run, and
that the public in crossing must con-
cede the right of ownership and must
ascertain whether the company, as the
owner OF the track, as above, is using
them; otherwise if injury results the
company cannot be held liable for
damages.
The case decided was that of a
widow of John McCracken, of Pitts
burg, bicycllst who was killed by a
car of the Consolidated traction COM
pany, of Pittsburg, while attempting
to cross street in front of a car OF
the company. The decision among
other things says "McCracken was
bound to look and listen before cross
ing. A bicycler is not exempt from
observing the caution imposed on the
public and to hold otherwise would be
to give the bicycler a right to the
track superior to the railway COM
pany."

Cousins May Not Marry.
Pennsylvania Law Prohibits II but They May
be "Tied Up" In Other States.

The new statute which prohibits
first cousins being joined in wedock
went into effect IN this state on
January Ist, and hereafter men and
women OF such close blood tie may
not marry under the jurisdiction of
Pennsylvania without incurring the
laws displeasure. The new law
makes ceremony between first
cousins void as marriage bond. and
refuses to recognize such ceremony if
performed within It's borders as legal.
Love usually finds way, however,
SO there is nothing to prevent first
cousins from going outside this state
into another which does not regard
the marriage of blood relatives as
dangerous to the veal of the common
wealth. The, constitution of the
United States provides that no state
shall make laws which will cover acts
done in another state, and as there
are many commonwealths in the
Union which do not regard the mar
rage of cousins as a thing TO be bar
red, these victims of Cupid may find
way of circumventing the solons of
Harrisburg. Such marriages would
be lawful in Pennsylvania.
The idea of the act is based on
the belief OF physicians that marriages
between first cousins are detrimental
to the stamina of their children.
Governor Stone did not append his
signature to the act when it came be-
tore him in June, SO 1t became a law
by limitation.

UNREST AT PANAMA.
Revolutionary Forces Still
Menace the Town.
GENERAL HERRERNS PLOT REVEALED
Military Governor AIban, Learning
of Proposed Night Attack, Has
strengthened the Defenses
Mt La Boon Landing.

COLON, Colombia, Jan. S.-1nforma-
tion received here of the conditions ex-
isting at Panama characterize them as
very unsettled. Ships belonging to the
revolutionary forces were seen last
Sunday fifty or sixty miles from Fan
anna. 1t is reported these vessels were
unable to take aggressive measures
against the government because one of
them, the cruiser Padila, lacks coal.
Subsequent reports, however say that
the steamer Monotombo, from Nicara-
qua. has supplied the revolutionary
general Herrera with coal. General
Herrera landed n revolutionary eXpedl-
tion at Tonosi Dec. 24 in the revolu-
tionary steamers Ibis, Darien and Gal
tan.
General Carlos Alban, the military
governor Of this district. has captured
correspondence from Liberals in Pana-
ma setting forth that General Herrera
had perfected plans to capture Pana-
ma by efTecting landing during the
nighttime at the railroad dock at La
Boca. La Boca is the Pacific entrance
of the Panama canal and about three
miles from Panama. Since this discov-
cry six FOUNDER and 100 men under
General Sarria have been stationed on
the dock at La Boca, thus rendering
landing in that vicinity impossible.
The Colombian government gunboat
Boyaca, with troops from Chepo, is eX-
pected to reach Panama soon. Govern
ment troops from Chorrera have ar
rived at Panama after a march over
land. Small detachments of govern
ment soldiers now at Nombre de Dios
and Cocle. both on the Caribbean coast,
are also expected to reach Panama
shortly. There is now total of be-
tween 600 and 800 government troops
Mt Panama, and much excitement pre-
walls there owing to the movements OF
the soldiers up and down the city.
The latest reports from the Colon
bian general Castro locate him at Pese,
with the revolutionary forces at Las
Tablas, southwest of Panama, on the
AzuerO peninsula.
The captain of a sailing vessel which
has just arrived at Panama reports
that when he left Aqua Dulce fighting
was going on at Los Santos near Pese.
