THE TROUBLE AT PANAMA.
A 6raye situation Exists, the Ex- act Nature of Which is Not
 DiscIosed.

Washington, July 2s.-Consul Gen eral Gudger, at Panama. has made the following report by cable to the state department of the episode at that city:
 Last night about ten o'clock sol diers, headed by the commander-in- chief. searched the governors house. The governor escaped, tried to reach the consulate. but was intercepted. Took refuge at the house of an Amer ican. Streets lined with soldiers. Ar rested secretary of state, chief of pc lice and departmental employees. De partment has money"
 Another dispatch from Mir. Gudger says the governorship had been ten dered, but it is not known to whom. He added that the situation is grave. Acting Secretary Looms has decid ed to await further advices before taking action. It happens that the navy is weak on the Pacific side at this moment, owing to the absence of the Pacific squadron i'll Alaskan wa ters. But in case of need, either the Bancroft or the Panther on the gulf side could be speedily dispatched to Colon and a detachment of marines sent by rail to Panama.

Want Game Law Enforced.

The Arkansas State Sportsmen's s Association has entered the field to aid in upholding the DeRossitt game law which was passed by the last legislature. The bill. which is very stringent, provides. among other things. that it shall hereafter be un- lawful for non-residents of the state to hunt, fish or trap within this state at any season of the year
 This feature of the law has aroused bitter antagonism among certain par ties who live outside the state but who make trips within the state for the purpose of hunting and fishing. Some of these people own lands within the state but make their homes elsewhere. They claim the right to hunt and fish on their own land and test case has been made in the Crittenden county circuit court Sportsmen from Memphis who own land in Arkansas are fight ing the law, and have employed em- fnent counsel to break it down, if possible. The sportsmen of Arkansas wish to see the law enforced, and in their recent association meet. held at Joncsbor0, 1t was decided to carry the case to the. court of last resort if necessary, and to leave no means un tried to have the law enforced.

James R. Keene Interviewed at His Country Home on the Fi-
 nancial Outlook.
4 VERY EXTRAORDINARY SITUATION
the Railroads Larger Than They We're Last Year, Yet the Public Have No Confidence.

New York. July 2s.-In connection with the failures in Wall street, James k keene. whose son=in-law's house. T. J. Taylor X Co, was among these to suspend. is quoted by the Herald as follows in an inter view at his country home at Cedar hurst:
 1t is a very extraordinary situa- tion, and for some reason CT other the public refuses to buy. It has been out of the stock market for two or three months, and it's reappearance in Wall street would be welcome sight in that gloomy financial district"
 Do you think that the general prosperity is likely to be affected by the serious decline in stocks ," was asked.
 T don't see why it should be- Mir. Keene replied. Business is good crops are excellent, and gross earn ings of railroads are larger than they were last year. have no doubt their net earnings will be correspondingly large. In spite of all this. people have no confidence. They are appalled, at the tremendous decline that has taken place, the explanation for which had not been reasoned out by them.
 The extremity of the danger should bring relief from concert of the financial and railroad interests to stop further decline, which must gather force if it continues. Per haps the best reason for the present situation has been the absolute un- willingness of the public for some time to buy securities. If you have sellers and few buyers it is easy to predict the result.
 T believe over-cap apitalization and the disastrous collapse of three or four recently-organized trusts have paralyzed the buyer, produced a gen eral fright and terrible liquidation of good securities to protect bad ones. Despite this liquidation. which has re- dueed the average values of securities 8 per cent. ba.lk loans have not been reduced nor has the surplus been materially increased.
 Tt would be natural to look for a corresponding decrease in bank loans in consequence. This has not oc- cured, and l have not seen any one vet who has fathomed the reason for it. It may be safely said that this singular result, so contrary to all previous experiences. has caused much anxiety and produced grave ap- prehensions
 "ENplanation of it may be possible from people who understand the in tricacies of the movement of money and shifting of loans. Buyers surely will be attracted, however, as in Wall street convulsions ef the past"
