iSu"huS are united IN an eHOfU 10

ment which so far neglected Pan
ama's interests us to reject the canal
treaty proposed to it by the United
States. The Columbian troops ia
Panama favor the revolution and the
government generals have been I'M
prisoned in the name Of the "Repub-
lie OF Panama" The possibility Of
such revolution had been discussed
for some time, as 1t was recognized
that the Isthmus was geographically
separated from Colombia, and the
divergent interests of the two states
were greatly accentudted by the
obstruction Of the canal negotiations
on the part Of he central government
at BogOta. American warships are
being hurried To the scene Of trouble
IN order to protect American interests
and keep an open transit over the
lsthmus. Our government will. of
course remain neutral, but If Panama
succeeds in establishing her independ-
ence, there is no good reason why the
canal negotiations could not Oe
carried on with her direct. The
American public will doubtless side
with Panama but our officials rightly
feel that the government must not 10

South American countries, however
much it might be to our apparent
advantage.
The Treasury statement for the
first four months of the fiscal year.,
shows that while last year, for the
same period, there was a surplus of
about 81 $500 600, this year the sur
plus is practically eliminated, the
receipts and expenditures being al
most equal. The decrease in receipts
Is wholly in the customs and amount
to about $S, 900, 900 less than for the
same time last year. The increase In
expenditures falls in various depart
mentS, much Of 1t being in the navy
and in the appropriation of $5,000,-
600 in aid Of the st. Louis Exposition
The falling off in customs receipts
was largely in the sugar and steel
schedules. The anticipated passage
of the Cuban reciprocity treaty ac-
counts for the decline in the import
alton of sugar. There has also been
a great falling off in the importation
of articles of luxury. Internal reye-
nue. receipts are slightly larger than
last year, and the sales OF public lands

cation fund, have been very large
This report will doubtless strengthen

The special purpose Of the extra ses-

legislation may be taken up. The
republicans elected Jos. B. Cannon,
Of Illinois, for speaker. Senator Frye
of Maine continues as president pro

Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, ID. e., Nov. 8, 1908.
Election results form the main sub
ject of discussion among Washington
politicians and both sides claim VIC
tories, although the republicans have
ny far the greater cause for rejoicing.
The grand victory of the party in
Ohio assures Senator Hanna's re-elec-
tion to the United States Senate,
anaihilates Tom Johnson's political
fortunes, and designates Ohio as a
republican stronghold IN the presi-
Dental battle next fall. In fact the
one comment which President Roose-
velt made on the election returns was
that he was delighted with Senator
Hanna's splendid success. Tam
many's victory in New York has
little national Significance and is
more than Offset by republican vic
tories sup the state" Tammany sue
ceeded in drawing party lines in the
municipal compaign, and Of course
the democratic party won New
York City always goes democratic;
in the last presidential campaign. it
was overwhelmingly for Bryan, but
the rest of the state saved New Y ork
to the republican party, and it will
no doubt do SO next fall, especially
sample Of Tammany's rule. The
democrats have allied themselves
with Tammany and although they
gained mOmentary victory, they are
sure to suffer for it in the end. The
entire press Of New York vas against
Tammany, except Hearst's papers.
which now print autograph letters
from the successful candidates thank
ing the papers for their support in
the campaign. Hearst will no doubt
call upon them to recprocate, when
his boom for the presidential nomi-
nation Is we'll started. and II the
Tammany victory means Hearsts
nomination by the democrats, the
republican party may be glad that
Tammany won. The greatest, vic
toy of the democrats was in Maryland
and Senator German no doubt be
lieves he Is we'll on the road to the
White House Ills chances for the
democratic nomination are increased
and as Johnson and Olney lost their
states and Hill had nothing to do
with the New York campaign, the
chances for the nomination next sum-
mer, seem to rest between German,
'.the savior from negro domination"
and Hearst, the millionaire champion
Of the laboring man. Bryan has de-
clared he would oppose Gorman, and
President Roosevelt is regarded as
the true friend Of labor, SO the repub-
licans have little to fear from either
candidate. The one cause OF appre-
hension among republicans was that
Tom Johuson's Whirlwind campaign
might induce the people Of Ohio u
send Clarke to the Senate instead of
Senator Hanna, but the results of
the ballots show that such fears were
an Injustice to the people of the state.
Many thousands who attended Tom
Johnson's free circus forgot him when
they arrived at the polls
There have been frequent confer
ences at the State Department to de-
eide upon the attitude which this
government should take toward the
