member of the commission to this

OF Panama, which has just arrived

a constitutional convention will meet

which will follow closely the lines of
the United States constitution. In
discussing the revolution, he was
asked:
What assurances, if any, did you
have from the United States in refer
ence to its attitude toward the upris-

I'VE knew, of course" he replied,
that American men of war would be

the isthmus was not interrupted by
fighting, and we knew for that reason
that the landing of Colombian troops
would not be permitted. Outside Of
that, we had no assurances. What

btlity, and We depended upon the JUS
tlce Of our cause for recognition"
Ine question of the proposed annex.

THE sentiment of the people of Pan

isthmus what it seems destined for
from it's geographical position-a link
binding together the two Americas and
gateway between two worlds. Tha
building of the canal now lies with

TOOTH" the people of Stone Gap be
lieve Wentz has been crenated in
coke oven.
The story from Big Stone Gap is
this:
During the summer Kentucky
mountaineer got into a difficulty at
Stone Gap, where the Wentz interests
have two miles of coke ovens. Police
Officer King was shot by him and died
almost instantly.
The mountaineer being badly
wounded, was removed to the Wentz
hospital He remained in the hospital
for some days and disappeared.
Friends of the missing man came to
learn how he was getting along When
told he was gone, they asked for his
body. Of course it could not be Civ
en- them. They asked why and re-
ceived no answer satisfactory to them.
Then they jumped to the conclusion
entirely absurd, that the people in
charge of the hospital had put their
friend in a coke oven.
The story is told, they are thought
by many to have found young Wentz
at a lonely spot in the mountains of
Wise county and did to him, according
to their custom, what they believed
had been done to their friend who had
been in the Wentz hospital.
