Opinions Differ.

The discussion has brought out the
fact that the minority is not a unit in
it's opinion regarding Panama. While
such members as Mr.. Dinsmore of Ar
kansas have strongly criticised the Ad-
ministration for it's course with respect
to the recognition of the isthmian gov
eminent and its negotiation of treaty
with a one-week-old republic without a
constitution, there are others who are
inclined to give the President at least
their tacit support of his action.
OF course. the House has nothing to
do with the recognition of the republic
or the ratification of the treaty, anAIs
only called upon TO vote appropriations
for the building of the canale the
debate shows there is some es7t&1sion of
sentiment In the DemocratioEF4nks and
that the party's policy is5sot well de-
fined.
Many Democrats crir5gise the Presi-
dent by -eontending thsSTthe Hay-Herran
the Colombian goYsFnment. II was his
duty under the Spooner act, after a
reasonable timsE to negotiate for a
waterway through Nicaragua. instead
of aiding and S5etting in the secession
OF Panama, and making a deal with
that government direct.
Political Considerations.
Others. while, not approving Of the
methods pursued by the President in
the interests Of canal building. are will
ing TO let the matter pass without an
effort to make party Issue of it. They
contend that the American people desire
to have the canal const :ucted, and 81
would be bad policy and have an III
political effect to attempt to defer its
construction by opposing the steps
which the President has taken to ac-
quire the Panama route.
The Re. ublicans. on the other hand.
without exception, approve Of the course
OF the President. and under the lead
of Repre- sentative Hit, the veteran
chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, have made q strong defense OF
the President and answered the crit-
ctsms OF their opponents with the
charge that they are clubbing, and arc
professional fault-fnders
The Republicans have maintained in
the debate that instead OF violating the
law, the President has obeyed il ia that
he has taken the only steps possible
TO carry out the viii of the people ex-
pressed in the Spooner act 10 acquire,
If possible, the Panama route.

Portland Ore, Oct 27.-The United
States grand jury returned an indict

ern Oregon. 1t is alleged that Thomp.
son approached Cunningham and of
fered to have 10 homestead applica'
tions approved in consideration OF
$500. The other counts concern the
alleged dealing with Asa Robinson, to
whom he is alleged to have offered his
services for $50 in the case of each
application.

laws have been in circulation for the
past year, and it has been said that

Weekly Trade Review.

Bradstreet's review of trade says:
The weeks developments have fa-
vored an increase in the conservatism
which has ruled in many lines for
some time past. Good and poor re-
ports combine to give an appearance
of irregularity to general trade as a
whole.
Fluctuations in grain prices have
been numerous but complications have
caused some covering in wheat, but
the general drift was lower because
of expected freer movement from the
Northwest, favored by good weather.
Cotton prices reflect short cover
ing due to pairing down of estimates
of yield. based upon frost damage
stories of lighter than expected re-
ceipts, and rather better spinning de-
mand here and abroad.
The iron and steel trades do not
snow much, if any, change. Prices are

TRIED TO BURN HOME.
Incendiaries Thought to Secure Money
While House Was on Fire.

Scottdale, Pa, Oct. ga desperate
attempt was made early Friday morn
ing to burn the residence of Tax Col
lector Frank r. Bell, about one mile
east of this place.
The party or parties who made the
attempt gained entrance through a eel
lar window, and placing large guam
tity of paper on the landing of the eel
lar stairs set fire to it. The fumes
from the smoke of the burning paper
aroused Mr. Bell, and he succeeded in
extinguishing the flames before much
damage was done.
Mr.. Bell is tax collector for Bullskin
township and the parties evidently
thought he had money in the house,
and that it could be easily secured dur
ing the excitement attending the dis.
covery of the fire.
In the cellar was a large amount OF
cenned fruit and smoked meats, but
none of these were touched, except one
smoked ham, which was taken out to
the garden, where it was found in the
morning There is no clew to the in
cendiaries.
