Maryland Redeemed.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. AT mid
might the returns of Tuesday elections
from Baltimore scity and the State of
Maryland had not all been received.
In Baltimore city the entire Demo
cratic State ticket, comprising Edwin
Warfeld, of Howard county, Governor
Gordon Z. Atkinson, Of Somerset
county, Comptroller, and William Shep-
herd Bryan, Jr.. Of Baltimore city, At
torney General, was elected by 5000
plurality. The Democrats elected in
Baltimore city three Senators and
eighteen members Of the House of
Delegates by large majorities.
The republicans elected one State
Senator and six members of the House
Of Delegates. VIM. r. Green, Republi-
can, is apparently elected sheriff Of the
city by plurality of between 100 and
200.
The returns from all the counties OF
the State have not been received, but
enough reports are in hand to assure
an Overwhelming Democratic majority
bn joint ballot in the General Assem-
oily, which will elect a successor to
United States Senator Louis McC Comas.
From returns received at this hour,
it is conceded that the Democrats will
have on joint ballot 80 votes, in the
General Assembly to Al Republican
votes. Warfeld's plurality in the State
will probably reach 5000.

Causes of the Reyolutioa.

Panama, Colombia, Nov. 5.-Last
night revolutionary junta published a
manifesto, addressed to the citizens of
the Republic of Panama saying that
the inhabitants of the isthmus had
done what was inevitable, iii view of
a situation which was becoming graver
daily. 1t was pointed out that not:
withstanding the grievances inflicted
on the Isthmians by their Colombian
brothers, the former had suffered with
resigation for the sake of harmony and
the union, and in view of the fact
that reparation was possible, so long
as hopes could be entertained of an i'm
provement in the situation and Of the
isthmus ultimately making effective
progress under Colombian rule.
The manifesto then refers to the fact
that the Isthmus of Panama netted
Colombia large sums in customs dues.
1t was but Just to point out, says the
manifesto, that, in spite of the large
sums of money collected from the 18TH
mus for fiscal purposes, the latter had
not received the benefit of even a

apparently unanimous movement dis:
solved their political connection with
the republic of Colombia and resume
their independence. When you are
astisfed that a de facto government,
republican in form and without sub
stancial opposition from it's own peo-
pie, has been established in the state
OF Panama, you will enter into rela-
tions with it as the responsible govern
ment of tho territory, and look to it
for all due action to protect the per-
sons and property of citizens of the
United States and to keep open the
isthmian transit in accordance with
the obligations of exhisting treaties
governing the relations of the United
States to that territory.
Minister Beaupre was instructed In
the following terms:
"The people of Panama having by
an apparently unanimous movement
dissolved their political connection
with the republic of Colombia, and re-.
sumed their independence and having
adopted a government Of their own,
republican in form, With which the.
government of the United States Of
America has entered into relations, the
president of the United States in
accordance with the ties of friendship
which have so long and so happily ex-
listed between the respective nations.
most earnestly commends to the govern
ments Of Colombia and Of Panama the
peaceful and equitable settlement Of
all questions al. issue between them.
He holds that he is bound not
merely by treaty obligations, but by
the interests of the civilization to see
that the peaceful traffic of the world
across the isthmus of Panama shall no
longer be disturbed by constant sue
cession of unnecessary and wasteful
Wars.''

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 4.-The Re-
publican plurality in Ohio is about
Is, 600 for Governor, and the majority
in the Legislature on joint ballot for
Senator is 60.
Chairman Dick, of the Republican
State committee, today received re-
ports from ali his eighty-eight county
committees, and tonight announced
that Rerrick, Republican, had carried
81 counties, and johnson, Democrat,
26, for Governor, most of the latter by
small and the former by large plurali-
ties. On total vote of less than
900, 600. Herrick's pluralities in the
counties aggregate l35, 132, and John
sons 20, 476, so that Herrick has net
plurality in the State of ia, 706, accord
ig to estimates that may be increased
from 1000 to 1000 by the official
count The plurality on the rest OF
the Republican State ticket will likely
be from 1000 to 5000 less than that
for Herrick. The total vote for John
on was less than for any Democratic
candidate for Governor for years. The
senate stands % Republicans and 4
Democrats. The House stands SO Re-
publicans and 81 Democrats.

bridge over any of it's rivers, the con-
struction of a single road between any
of the towns of the isthmus, the erec-
tion of any public buildings, as not
even the most infnitesimal part of the
large sums collected had been applied
towards benefting Panama in any
shape or form.
The failure of the Hay-Herran canal
treaty to meet with approval of the
Congress at Bogota is then touched
upon. It is pointed out that only a
few public men were opposed to the
treaty, and that their opposition was
due to the fact that it was alleged that
Panama would be the only part of the
country which would receive direct
benefits from the building of an inter-
oceanic canal. The manifesto then
continues:
"The people of the isthmus, in view
Of this notorious situation, have de-
cided to recover their sovereignty, in
order to work out their own destiny
and to insure the future of Panama in
a manner in keeping with the evident
destiny of the county,"

navy DEPARTMENTS MOVEMENTS
Matters on lsthnus and in Cen
irai America are in a Critical
Condition.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The navy de-
parSment received record today Of the
arrival OF the Nashville at Colon last
night through q cablegram from her
Acaptain, Comnander Hubbard. The
depaytment found it necessary to con-
.ceal It's purpose IN dispatching the
Nashville from Kingston TO the 18TH
mus, and it was supposed that she
was prevented from going to San
Domingo, because some Of her machi-
nery was out Of order. AS a matter Of
fact adyices received from the United
States vice consul at Panama, more
than 8 week ago, determined the State
department to have some representa-
tive OF the United States navy in
isshnlian waters. Indeed it is probable
that, beginning with the turning
oyer of the new coaling station, Ad-
miral Coghlan viii be required stead-
lily to maintain q naval force on the
Atlantic side OF the isthmus There
are other reasons than the Panama
situation for this, as the reports COM
ing TO the State department from the
Central American countries north Of
Colombia reveal the exissance OF tur-
.bulent and dangerous conditions.
Only this morning q cablegram came
from one. OF the United States consuls
Ia Honduras stating that the people
there were Ia state OF excitement
over the reported intention Of Nicarau-
gua 10 attack Honduras. The Guatema-
lans also are La state OF unrest, which

would not be surprised to see some
thing Like general war result from
the present conditions.
1t is positively stated that these
movements on the part of our navy
are in no way connected with other
canal project, and that there viii be
no attempt to negotiate further with
Colombia on that subject unless that
government advances a reasonable pro-
position.

lent to meet any probable emergency.
The presence of 400 Colombian Gov
ernment troops at Colon makes the
situation there at present more diff
cult than on the Panama side. 1t will
probably oblige the United States to
take temporary possession of the rail
way, as traffic cannot be maintained
with one end of the line in possession of
the Government forces and the other
in the hands of the revolutionists. The
effect of such seizure of the road
would be to prevent the movement of
any body of troops carrying arms from
one side of the Isthmus to the other.
Some cabled inquiries have come to
the State department. from men who
stand very high in the business world
of Panama asking if the United States
Government would extend recognition
to the new State if the present move
ment were successful. The inquiries
did not come in such form as to justify
an official answer, and it is said that
it is not the policy of this Government
to commit itself in such cases.
The invariable rule as to recog-
nition in cases of revolution
is to recognize de facto conditions,
and if the United States consular off,
GERS at Panama and Colon report that
there is an actual working government
in possession of the Isthmus they will
be allowed to do business with it.
The United States Government re-
ceived calegram today from Panama
requesting that it recognize the new
Government. The officials here are as
yet in ignorance as to what the new
Government consists Of and have taken
no action on the request.

Attitude of Washington.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Formal an
nouncement has been received at the
State department by cable from Panama
of the establishment of new Govern
ment, which, the dispatch states, is
capable of maintaining order. The
cablegram Gomez from the three con-
suls constituting the new Government,
and is signed by FREDERICK Boyd, Jose
Augustin Arrange and Tomas Arias.
The department has not taken any
steps toward recognizing the new
order of things, though the United
States consuls have large discretion
in this matter, and may already have
recognized the de facto power of the
junta at Panama. 1t is pointed out,
however, that no such action on their
part would affect the political rela-
tions of the new Government with the
United States. In due course of time,
if it shall appear that that Government
is able to maintain itself and pre-
serve order, the State department
would extend a formal recognition,
but there is no particular reason for
haste, it is said. 1t is assumed that
there will be no disposition on the
part of the new Government to re-
pudiate the concessions heretofore
granted to individuals or corporations
by the Government at Bogota.

Special to The State.
BarnWeil, Nov. quite sensa-
tional episode occurred in court today
at the trial of Tom Mckay, colred,
for the shooting of Greenville Green, a
party of his own race. Willis Woods,
an intelligent white man, testified in
behalf Of Mckay, but the circumstan-
ces Of the case and the verdict OF the
jury showed clearly that the testimony
of young Woods was not believed.
Immediately after the verdict was
read Judge Purdy said that he had
been awaiting sneh a decision and in
strrcted Sheriff Creech to arrest him
at once on the charge Of perjury. This
is considered here a step toward the
uplifting of the char~zssr of testimony
given in courts.
