our opening, a further decline TOOK place,
and the Anal close was to 3la points be
low last night Liverpool Is due to be
TO 2la higher tomorrow.
our markets felt the approach OF the
week end movement, aud fearing 1t 10 be
much larger than for some time, took ad-
vantage Of LiverpoOl's weakness by opening
at Il decline Of some TO 5 points, which
position Ii maintained within n radius OF
Il few points until the afternoon, when the
actual figures were received, and MS they
were more unfayorablc than expected the
markets advanced to the highest points Of
the day.
There was considerable selling this morn
ing In anticipation of less favorable weekly
statistics hut the offerings were well ab
sorbed and a general steadiness was ap

NEW REPUBLIC
is RECOGNIZED

Washington. Nov. 17.-In q note ad-
dressed to M. Bunau-varilla, as minis
ter plenipotentiary and envoy extraor-
dinary OF the republic Of the isthmus,
M. Jusserand, the French ambassador.
last night ohcially recognized the new
envoy and informed him he would be
received at the embassy by his excel
lency and duly recognized. The ambas-
sador's action Is in accordance with q
cablegram received from the French
foreign ofice to-day.
The minister announced tonight that
]. Pierpont Morgan & Co. had accept
ed the appointment as fiscal agents In
the United States Of the Panama re-
public and that 5000. 1000 had been
placed to the credit Of the Panama gov
ernment.
The minister received by cable yes
terday full powers from his govern
ment to address the envoys Of all the
powers represented at Washington and
ask recognition at their hands.
The action Of President MarroQuin in
sending protest to the United States
is regarded by diplomats here as Q Sc
rious breach Of the proprieties. but the
matter probably will not be dealt with
In harsh manner. Secretary Hay has
not yet seen the protest, but will read 1t
tomorrow and unofflcially the Presi-
dent may see II, but It is felt that the
communication may be entirely ignored
II the government chooses to do 80,
owing to the extraordinary course
taken In forwarding 1t.

shafroth Currency Bill.

Congressman Shafroth has intro
duced bill authorizing the issuance
of currency redeemable in United
States bonds. 1t directs the secretary
Of the treasury, upon presentation OF
bonds in amount not exceeding $1O,-
100000 in any one month to issue in
lieu thereof currency bonds in denomi-
nations of $40. 500. $50, $10O, $500 and
$1,000, payable thirty days after date
in the currency stipulated in the sur
rendered bond. and to bear interest at
the rate of per Scent per annum, in
terest payable annually. The project
is well hedged in with limitations. SO
that the market value of a United
States bond will be paid by the treasury
and SO that the market price OF bonds
cannot be forced unnaturally high.
The holder of a currency bond must
have it registered SO that the interest
will accrue to him.
Mr.. Shafroth says the effect OF this
bill will be to gradually convert the
national debt into / per cent bonds.
A person who desires to sell his govern
ment bonds would get the full market
value in legal tender money and be
entitled to interest on the same. The
system would require no gold reserve,
with all the expense and inconvenience
Of maintaining it.
If the interest were higher than per
cent there would be tendency to
hoard the bonds. Mr.. Shafroth thinks
the system would gradually increase
the currency without any rapid. in
flation.
Senator Dubois of Idaho took issue
with Senator Hoar's statement in re-
gard to the impropriety of petitions
bearing upon the case Of the expulsion
OF retention of Senator SmoOt of
Utah. Mr.. Dubois said: Il contend that
these various organizations Of Chris
tian men and women have a right to
petition the senate and maintain their
duty to do so. OF course, we all ap-
preciate that this is a judicial question,
which must be determined by the facts,
but it is not an idle question, and it is
properly before the senate. 1t Is the
name question that was involved in the
case of the polygamous Roberts. for
whose unseating by the house Of repre-
sentatives many petitions were filed.
All the petitioners ask is that we study
the case carefully before passing
upon It."
Gilpin observer., 1903-11-19
Panama Negotiations.

A number of senators who were in
strumental in framing the act by which
the president received discretionary
powers in the canal matter held that
he has authority under that act to
transfer his negotiations from Column
.bia to the new Republic Of Panama.
They say that If one man authorized
another to buy certain horse from
Jones, and it was afterwards found
that the horse had passed into the
ownership of John Doe, the man COM
missioned to make the purchase would
still be authorized to buy the animal
| from the new owner. In the same way,
It is argued, the president Of the
United States Is authorized to procure
! a right Of way for the canal from the
Panama government now that the con-
troll of the isthmus has passed into its
hands.
Other lawyers in the senate. how
ever, believe that the Spooner act does
not give the president the necessary
authority under the changed status Of
things. The act authorizes the presi-
dent, in the event of successful negotia-
tions. to pay the sums Of $10,000.000 to
Columbia, and 1t is held that this
money could not legally be paid over to
a government not named in the law.
Discussion of the matter has brought
out the fact that when the SpOoner bill
was being framed suggestion was
made to insert the words "or Panama"
after the word Columbia. Some OF the
senators who were concerned in franz
ing the bill argued that this should be
done to meet exactly the contingency
which has occurred during the last
week on the isthmus Of Panama. The
words were omitted. however. for fear
of placing the congress Of the United
