GREENCASTLE, Ind, Nov. 19.-An-
nouncement has been made that the Juniata
steel and iron mills will positively be
opened for full operation about Jan. l., and
the men employed previously in the mill
and those who were expecting work when
full operation was begun are accordingly
joicing. The management of the mill was
unable, after opening the plant, to secure
funds for it's operation and an occasional
shutdown was necessary from the begin
ming and finally the entire plant was closed
temporarily during last summer. But
money has been secured for the first of the
year and it will ct that time be put into
use for the purchase of operating supplies
The plant has six hot mills, of the latest
equipment, and is said to be the best plant
of its size in the country, so much of the
company's money being spent it's fin
ishing, in fact, that there was not enough
of the capital left to run on, after the mills
were started. 1t is said that 100000 is need
ed to operate on, even when the market is
demanding tin as fast as it can be made.
While the shutdown of the plant has
brought some privations to the employees
only a few have left for other mills, pre-
ferring to remain here and do what work
they could find In the city rather than move
away The mill force was a welcome addi-
acter has been of the best. The singers
among the Welsh mill were especially
welcomed and many of them have positions

REJOICING ct PANAMA.
Members of the Junta Visit United
States WarshipS

States WarshipA
PANAMA, Nov. 1.-TWO events CT great
magnitude to them cheered the hearts of
the isthmians yesterday. The Junta, &C
companied by Ministers Espriella Morales
and Ricardo Arias, returned the official
visit of Rear Admiral Glass on board the
flagship Marblehead. On boarding the
cruiser they were received by Admiral
Glass and the commanders of the United
States warships Wyoming and Boston. All
the American vessels manned ship, the flag
of the republic of Panama was hoisted and
each ship. Congratulatory speeches were
made. After being on board the Marble
head about half an hour the Panamaians
returned to shore amidst the firing of sa-
lutes from the American warships.
The second event of Importance to the
Panamaians was the receipt of news from
the United States that France had recog-
nized the republic which added consider
ably to the joyous feeling of the inhabitants
of Panama. Large crowds with band of
music. went to the residence of the French
consuls. who very courteously received his
numerous friends amidst frenZied cheers for
France.
1t now appears that the relations between
the republic of Panama and the Catholic
Church will show no departure from those
which exist between Rome and Colombian
government. The minister of foreign af-
fairs. Senior F. V. De La Espellia, sent a
cablegram to-day to Cardinal Merry Del
Val, the Papal secretary of state in which
he recited the fact that the isthmus had
declared its independence. that the governor
was in charge of the Junta and that the
eral OF the great powers The minister
especially begged the Papal secretary to
present his respectful salutation to Pope
Plus y and expressed the wish that the
Vatican should recognize the Panama re-
public.

Committees of Steel Makers Not the
Only Regulators of Markets.
New York Evening Post.

The action of the manufacturers pool
in the finish steel trade, last Wednesday,
in voting not to lower prices, following the
billet POOLS" 81 per ton reduction a week
before, has caused much curiosity as to the
nature and powers of these organize lions.
AS a matter of fact they permeate every
industry. There are law firms in this city
which have drawn up iron-clad contracts
for as many as twenty of such pools" in
various trades. Firms signing these arti-
cles agree TO keep prices at the level fixed
by vote, sometimes OF a majority and some
times of three-fourths, of the POOLS MEM
bership. This vote may raise prices or low
er them; the minority must abide by the
decision, and to ensure good faith cash
forfeits varying from 5000 to $3.50, 900 are
placed in the hands of the lawyers.
Discussing the power of pools over
prices. steel manufacturer said this week:
Although much has been heard during
the past few weeks about the pool as an
effective instrument for maintaining prices
the idea is an old one in no way confined to
the steel and iron trade. Railroads, bill
posters. real estate men. and cab drivers
either have have had such devices. At
one time the State associations of whole
sale grocerymen demanded the deposit of a
check by each member, subject TO forfeit if
the price of sugar was cut. Then in turn
manufacturers Of sugars, tobacco and other
staple articles have resorted to rebate
schemes to hold what they call card
prices Every one will remember the old
trunk line pool I'm which rates were fixed
and earnings and traffic allotted by the
commissioners. That ended with the In
terstate-commerce act.
THE principle is the same, whether a
scheme is one of rebates or fines whether a
separate concern is formed through which
all goods are marketed. or whether, as in
the Boxboard and Paper Company's plan, a
simple agreement to maintain the selling
price, is determined upon. The gentle
mans agreement among the iron manufac-
turers, however. proved ineffective, and its
outcome created considerable i'll feeling. If
reports are true.

Colombian Government Will Protect

BOGOTA, Tuesday, Nov. 1.-THE Colom-

legation or American citizens here. There
is no fear OF demonstration against them
WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.-The State De-
partment has received a cablegram from
Minister Beaupre, dated Bogota, two days
ago, saying that the excitement was abat-
ing. Minister Reaupre also stated that he

the Colombian government that the United

made TO the note presented by United
States Minister Beaupre informing the CO.
lombian government that Washington had
entered into official relations with the Re
public of Panama. The reply was framed
by Senior Carlos Ricon, minister of foreign
affairs, who vigorously defends his gov
eminent and threatens to march an army
on Panama unless the United States i'm
medlately recedeS from its position. That
the Colombians are willing TO fight TO main

Panama, Is shown by the strong support

through Minister Beaupre, says:
The Colombian government protests en-
ergetically at the attitude taken by the
United States. BY the recognition of Pan
anna and the warning that the United States
will not allow Colombia to put down the
rebellion the heretofore friendly relations
existing between the two governments have
arrived at such critical state that II is
absolutely impossible to continue diplomatic
relations. unless the Washington govern
ment should Immediately give notice that 1t
has no intention TO prevent Colombia from
retaking the fsthmus, or to extend any rec
ognition to the belligerents." The note con-
cludes by stating that "a prompt reply is
awaited from Washington, as the Colombian
army Is ready TO march on Panama at
once"
Adding to the indignation of the people
and stirring them in their preparations for
war Is a dispatch alleged to have been re-
ceived to-day, saying Germany 'disap-
proves of the course taken by the United
States and censures her for interference at
Panama" This message has caused gen.
eral rejoicing, and on all sides are heard
cheers for Germany.
General Perdomo has been appointed COM
mander-in-chief of the Colombian army.

TERRE HAUTE MILLS IDLE.
Highland Plant Closed, Two Others
Having Shut Down Before.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Nov 19.-The
Highland Iron and Steel Company's mill
closed this morning, throwing several hun
dred men out of work. The management
says the mill will be idle indefinitely. The
mill is a new one, owned independent of the
trust, and was scupposed to have customers
whose demands for it's product were such
that the mills operation would not be gov
erned by manipulations of the trust field.
The shutdown is said to be due to the con-
dition of the iron market. The mill has
run continuously except for short periods
for repair work since it was established
several years ago. 1t has been a very
profitable enterprise.
Both the trust rolling mills are idle and
have been for some time, with indications
that the trust will not operate again in
any event. The trust found that other
mills which it owned could be operated to
better advantage than those here.
The Columbian enameling factory is re-
ducing production and putting the hun
dreds of employees on shorter hours. This
is due to the fact that it's customers who
handle enameled household ware put it aside
at this time to give place to Christmas
goods
The Langton gunstock factory has re-
ceived an order from the War Department
for 5000 stocks for rifles.

PANAMA TO STAND ALONE.
VIII Not Consider the Annexation Of
Adjoining States.

PANAMA, Nov. LIT can be said au-
thoritatively that the government of the Re-
public of Panama will not consider any
proposition from the departments of Cauca
and Antioquia to join the republic. The
reasons for such refusal are clear. Panama
would gain nothing but, on the contrary,
might become involved in troublesome, if
not dangerous, war operations. Colombia
could attack Cauca and Antioquia by land.
NEW YORK, Nov. 19-The report that
the departments of Cauca and Antoquia
are to follow the example set by Panama
by seeding from the Republic of Colombia
and to cast their fortune with the new re-
public, was to-day the chief topic of dis.
cussion among local Colombans and Pana-
manians. Senator Pablo Arozemena Picon,
provisional consul for Panama, says he
would not be surprised to see the people of
those departments take that step. The peo-
pie are sure to assert their feelings toward
the Bogota government for its years of op-
preston and mal-administration, said he.

From laundryman's point OF view,
Rodgers says, things were very much be-

Fancy turning dress skirts and dainty lin

the river and then pounded them between
a couple of rocks to get them clean. They
