DON'T FORGET NICARAGUA.

Colombia and Panama have gone te
war, or If not, are on the verge of doing
so. Panama doubtless counts on the
sympathy of this country on account OF
the Panama canal scheme. but the atti-
tude of Uncle Sam has been promptly
shown by the landing of marines al
Colon and the ordering Of the Boston
to Panama with the view Of promptly
sup1ressing anything inimlcal to mer-
camille interests so far as this country
is regarded. Panama is a province or
state of what is known as the United
States of Colombia and hence in insti-
tuting war against Bogota, Colombia S
capital, actually secedes.
Said Bogotaw to Panama. saw
That you've decided to secede-Haw
Haw!
Now may ask Of you
What you intend to do,
And whether you'n be eaten live or
raw?"
Perhaps you think you will escape our
nav.
Or end up your rebellion in a draw;
You count on Uncle Sam.
But ne don't give cuss,
AS long as we concede the Gringoe's
law.
Thus we have spoken-we are it

Youth find our ultimatums minus flaw
Your canal may be o. K,
But you haven't won the day,
Ncaragua's in the race. SO stow your

FAVORS MORE STRINGENT
IMMIGRATION LAWS
Secretary Cortelyou Will Suggest
Changes to Bar Undesirables
From America.

So extensive have the violations Of the
immigration laws become that in his an
nual report, Secretary Cortelyou, of the
Department Of Commerce and Labor,
It IS said, is going to suggest that the
laws be made more stringent. In the
present laws there are said to be GER
tain flaws by means of which unprin-
cipled attorneys are getting large num-
bers of undesirable people into the
country, and the department intends to
try to have the laws amended to put
an end 10 the trouble.
Another matter to be called TO the
attention Of Congress is the number of
undesirables who are enabled to get into
the country under the present law with
out recourse to the courts. The investi-
cation which has been ordered by Com
missioner General Sargent TO determine
the number of immigrants who have
become public charges within two years
after they have landed in this country
has already disclosed a remarkably
large number of immigrants in penal
and charitable institutions. and it is ex-
pected that recommendations will be
made that all immigrants who become
public charges within two years after
they reach this country be deported to
the land from which they came.

Nj. Bakers Testimony.
Clears General Wood From Completely
in Runcie Episode.

BY the testimony Of Mr.. Ray Stan
nard Baker, the well-known contribu-
tor to magazines, one of the most in
furious of the charges against General
Wood is dissipated into thin air. The
refutation of this charge will tend to
strengthen the conviction, that has
been growing rapidly in the public
mind of late, that General Woods
record is quite able to stand alone,
and can only profit by having the
light turned on The contention of
General Woods friends Is that he Is
man of great natural ability, and
born soldier, who has won his present
enviable position by actual service
and a genius for making the most OF
his opportunities IN the field, rather
than by intriguing or trying to pull
others down. Mr. Baker denies that
General Wood was aware, before its
publication, of the now famous Run
Gle article, or that he was consulted
concerning 1t. Mr.. Baker certainly
ought to know, as he was present ut
the dinner party whereat the article,
according to Major Runcie, was dis
cussed.
That the major has fallen out with
the general is ore of those unfortu-
rate condolences which are some
times taken into account by those
hearing testimony.
