isthmus in the last thirty days has been an act that would have been considered an act of war by any one of the great powers. The administration has promoted. to say the least, the secession of the most valuable prov ince, and under the pretense of main taining the operation of the Panama railroad, it is restraining the republic from regaining control of the seeding province. If the President has not de. clared war against Colombia then he never can.
 Senator Morgan's resolutions go to the marrow of the case, and he will no doubt keep them before the country until the national conscience is aroused, and the Panama business is viewed in true light.

William V. Freeman will again as

his natural adaptability to this posi-

Ed. M. Lynn will take an extreme
seat on the end, which insures plenty
of songs and merriment from his
side Of the stage. Charley Eilerman
in the purely humorous line is the
star of the company and will take
an end seat. He has the happy fac
uity of taking advantage of every
occasion and adapting himself to ev
cry situation. Eilerman IS also a mu
steal genius, which, combined with
his humorous prODenslties. enables

POPE'S SISTERS WONDER.
Cannot Accustom Themselves to the
 Strange Sights in Rome.

Rome, September S.-The three sisters of Pope Plus x, who lived with him in Venice and who arrived here yesterday, have not found in Rome quite what they expected. Not that they had any formu- lated desires, but the sisters thought they could not fail to be certain of resuming their intimate relations with the pontiff, while to their unaccustomed eyes, all is formality. They shrunk from the curious glances cast at them this morning when they went all over Rome The sisters. however could see no beauty in the ruins having scarcely heard of them What they liked best were the electric street cars and the new wide streets, so different from the narrow lanes of Venice.
 In the convent where the pope's sisters are stopping they are treated with great respect and attention. having their meals served in their own dining room and not being allowed to do anything for them selves.
 Speaking of the vatican one of the sis ters said:
 How big 1t is! Beppi should not feel he Is a prisoner. But how he can be bothered with all these soldiers and off, cers we cannot see.''
 The permanent apartment near the San Angelo bridge. selected for the sisters, which Is of most simple appearance. will be ready shortly.
