PANAMA And POLITICS
American Review Of Reviews, Predicted the Secession of
Panama From Colombia. and Outlined the Pro
gram, Panama Patriotism Strongest In
Washington Where the Rebellion
Started

For some time there has been ru
mors Of a widespread desire on the
part OF the Isthmian people TO cut
loose and form government Of their
own, largely upon tho model OF The
CIban republic. but having even
closer relations than Cuba enjoys
with the people and government OF
the United States Inasmuch as the
permanent control of Panama by the
politicians at tho remote Colombian
capital has row become wholly I'm.
practicable, II may be assumed that
the movement for Panama indepond.
ence affords the best solution Of the
situation. Such a step, promptly en-.
tered npon, might bring about the
much-to-be-desircd stability OF equill,
bruim at the Isthmus that would alike
benefit North America and South
America, Europe. and Asia It would
also, Of course, greatly benefit Colon.

the canal would do more than anything

Colombian president. some years ego,

The government at Washington has
never cared very much about the de-
tails Of the history Of tho relations
between the Panama Canal Company
and the Colombian government. Those
relations would not Der close inspec.
ton on either side. Our government
on the advice OF fits own trusted ex
perts, has simply decided that the un.

nected Herewith. together with the
Panama Railroad, are fcirly worth
S4O.000,0OO, and that the present
French Panama Company Is the legal
possessor Of those assets, and entitled
TO sell them and receive the money.

government, the new republic would
naturally have not only our recog.

our guarantee OF a peaceful career.
Tho French company would still be
entitled TO its $lO.0OO,0O0. II is not
very likely that Secretary Hay. having
In his draft OF treaty with Colombia
offered to pay $1O.OOO,OO0 for the
grant OF a canal strip, would reduce
the amount in making q treaty with
a new Panama republic. Our secretary
would not, however, permit such new
republic to assert over our canal strip
any absurd pretensions OF sovereignty.

Serious Runaway Accident.

Friday evening as Mrs. Helen P. Poole
and Miss Jennie E. Poole were driving
down Eastern Avenue, their horse be-
came frightened. opposite the Universal
ist church, by paper strung across the
road by boys. The horse started on
mad run down the hill zig. tagging across
the street until nearly opposite Abel
Hosmer's house when the carriage struck
telephone pole demolishing the top and
throwing the occupants out Of the
wagon into the gutter against the curb
ing. Mrs. Poole arose at once, but
friends assisting Miss Poole found her
severely injured so they carried her to
doctors office where it was found that
she had bad scalp wound. Miss Poole
was then taken to Brightlook Hospital.
Both parties were severely shaken and
bruised Mrs. Poole having her right
thumb broken while Miss Poole's left
shoulder was severely bruised. The horse
took to the sidewalk at, Pearl street
crossing and strewed parts of the wagon
all the way to Spaulding's store where
the horse and most of the wagon parted
company, the wagon remaining hitched
to telephone pole. The horse tried to
make the turn up Railroad street but
this was a failure for he was GO
ing at such high rate OF speed that he
slipped, rolled over several times and
then slid across the street to the curbing
in front OF the Merchants Bank building,
where he was captured.
1t is not known who frightened the
horse with the papers, but is hoped that
they have learned lesson by this
accident.

Burglar on Pearl Street.

Thursday morning, about l.30, Ira
Brown suddenly awoke with the appre-
hension that some one was in his room.
He hastily arose, CROPPED about the
room and lound match, and just as he
scratched it was clutched by the throat
and cboked before any outcry could be
made. Then he was thro wn to the floor
and the burglar departed through side
door, making but little noise and taking
$40 in money and watch valued at 500,
with him, both belonging to Calvin
Brown. The boy soon came to himself
and reused his mother and brother Cal
vim who sent for Policeman Miller but no
trace of the thief could be found. 1t is
supposed that the burglar gained en-
trance through side window as this
was found open, and it is also supposed
that the thieving was committed by
some one familiar with the interior of the
house, for one that was not miliar with
the interior could not have gone about
without making considerable noise.
