Panama Ring is Blamed For
 the Revolution
MORGAN FEELS CONFIDENT
Considers i. Another Strong Argument in Favor of the Nicaragua Route. Senator Talks of the Presi-
 dents Duty.
BY WATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, November 4.-(Special)- There is little doubt here in well in formed circles that the revolution for se- cession in the state of Panama was caused through the agency of the Pan anna canal lobby. Several newspapers which are actively allied with the Pan- anna canal ring have for the past two weeks been predicting just such revo- lution, giving it editorial indorsement and severely criticsing the action of the Co., lomblan senate. There WAS therefore, little surprise manifested in Washington over the statement given out at the White House that independence has been proclaimed and the liberals have busted the Colombian governments officials.
 The advocates of the Nicaraguan canal here are not at all cast down by the latest developments. In fact many of them state that the revolution should force the President, no matter what he believes to be the advantages of the Panama route, to declare for Nicaragua.
 Morgan Not Surprised.
 Senator Morgan of Alabama, the leader of the Nicaragua canal advocates. said tonight that he had anticipated the rev olution, and it was another strong argu- ment in favor of the Nicaraguan route. 'The duty of the President" said the senator, lis to at once open negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa Rica The spooner act provided that in the event 1 of failure to arrange terms with Co., i lombia, we should after q reasonable time, open negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Now, what is meant by d reasonable time? That term certainly did not include d long war. Panama has seeded and declared it's independence. Colombia will naturally attempt to force her to remain in the republic How long war will be waged no one knows It may be for years.
 In the meantime the government of the state of Panama Is a de faeto gov ernment. It will not pass into a state of de jure government until all fighting has ceased and it becomes permanent gov ernment. As a de facto government we cannot deal with it.
 No Treaty Possible. 'No treaty between sthe two countries can be made. With Colombia holding out against the independence of Panama it cannot be seriously claimed that the ohiteu otaleS snoulu enter Into an agree ment with Panama for the construction of the canal The President has been cooperating with the Jesuits, or the Co., lombian government, and l do not believe that he will now join forces with the Liberals in Panama.
 While all this is going on however. what becomes of the reasonable time in the Spooner bill? l regard the revou- ton as pronounced step in advance for the construction of the Nicaragua canal.
 Tt is a pity, however that such a meritorious project should have to de- pend upon revolution. It has the ap- proval of the most eminent engineers Commissions have passed favorably upon 1t. Politically and physically there could be no doubt of it's successful beginning | and completion.

How q Statue Came to Grow.

Very warlike is the aspect of sim gular equestrian statue in Belgium, yet there is no cause for alarm, since it is nothing but tree. Some ten years ago police officer retired from the force and went to live at Charle- roi. Being an amateur horticulturist, he busied himself good deal with trees and flowers, and one day, as he was trimming hawthorn in his gar den, it occurred to him that it would be novel idea to train it in such q manner that it would eventually as- sume the figure of cavalry officer. At once he went to work, and after ten years labor he succeeded intrans- formingXhe tree into a perfect pie ture of amounted soldier. The tree is knowf in the neighborhood as "GeneDdl Hawthorn" and hardly d day passes that strangers do not come frorn, a considerable distance in order to view this wonderful example of hort tlcultural art.

THE FIRST PICTURE BOOK. The Product of a German Professo
 of Three Centuries Ago.

Three hundred years ago Ger man savant had a wonderful vision. At that time children were taught to read by force of arms, so to speak, through hardships and with bitter toll on the part of teacher and of child. It seems curious that the first step toward Tightening the labor of children as they climb the ladder of learning was the product of the im- agination, not of some fond mother, or gentle woman teacher, but of be- wigged and betitled university doc- tor. It was Johann Comenius, how ever, according to the Household, who first conceived the daring idea that children could be taught by the aid of the memory and the imagina- tion working together. ''By means" as he quaintly expressed it, "of sen- suous impressions conveyed to the eye, so that visual objects may be made the medium of expressing nor. al lessons to the young mind and of impressing those lessons upon the memory" In other words the good Herr Doctor had the bright idea that picture books could be useful to children. Comenius made his first picture book and called it "Orbis Pic tus." It contains rude wood cuts rep resenting objects in the natural world, as trees and animals, with lit- tie lessons about the pictures. It is quaint volume, and oe that would cause the average modern child not little astonishment were it placed be- fore him. As truly, however, as that term may be applied to any other book that has since been written, the "Orbis Pictus" was an epoch-making book. It is the precursor of all chil- dren's picture books, and modern childhod has great cause to bless the name of Comenius.

THE GUILTY DEAD.
No Resting Place for Murderers'
 Ronea in London.

Fourscore murderers' bodies are buried beneath the floors of Newgate jail, and the authorities are wonder ing how these remains are to be dis posed of when the work of demoli- tion reaches their present resting place, says the London Express.
 No cemetery or public burial place is likely to receive them except un- der compulsion. This is evidenced by the attitude of the city of London and Tower Hamlets Cemetery com- pany, of the Mile End road, whose off, ficials vigorously repudiate the state- ment recently published that their cemetery has recently been chosen for the retirement of the Newgate criminals bodies.
 This statement, it is urged, is cal culated to injure the business of the cemetery, and we much regret that it was published in these columns. Few people would not object to the burial of their dear ones in the company of Newgate murderers.
 Our representative learned at the Guildhall recently that 'it is not yet decided in what cemetery these re- mains shall be placed The work of removal must be done to the satisfac- tlon of the medical officer of health. The town clerks department has sub- mltted special report on the subject to the city lands committee of the cor poration. and this will be discussed at their next meeting"
 Considerable crowds of visitors flock daily to view the ancient prison now that its days are numbered. Ad- mission is obtained by ticket issued at the Guildhall. Curiously enough, at least two-thirds of those who pass through Newgate's once dreaded portals on sightseeing intent are WOmen..
 The ghastliest sight of all is the famous passageway under which many murderers lie buried. The brlefest epitaph suffices for those in- tered. Single initial letters, rough Iy cut into the stone underfoot-that is all.

One day I noticed in the newspapers the case of man who was afflicted as I was and was cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.

advice given to New Workers many
years ago to go West and grow up

Only one state of the West has a

New Workers. and that state Is.
strange to say. Michigan. There are
lGO. 900 natives of New York resident
in Michigan-more than 10 per cent
OF the whole number OF native New

After Michigan. but with a much
smaller number of New York resi-
dents, comes Illinois. The two West
ern states which have the largest
number of Native-born New Workers
next to Michigan are Wisconsin and
Minnesota.
Emigration from this state has not
been on the usual lines Of travel

Canada border.
There are some curious facts shown
