Panama Would Make a

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-Dr. Pablo

adviser to the Panama canal commits
sion, who comes here to advise the
Panama treaty, spent Sunday in New
York.
DR.. Arosemena, who is an interna-
tional lawyer of note, was not at first
in favor of independence, but now ac-
cepts it as the result of the combined
action Of all parties. He said that the
re Mutton was not brought about by
-1nf Sh& set or clique of men, but was
the result of sentiment throughout the
entSe country.
DR.. \Arosemena In reply to Ques-
tion concerning the payment of the
fl0,0O0,000 to Panama, said:
"The payment of moneys will be q
matter of the treaty. ! have been in

In reply to another question as 10
why Panama should think we would
countenapce her revolution when this
government so bitterly opposed the Sc
Cession of the confederate states, he
teplied;
"The two cases are entirely different.
There is no similarity between the Sc
cession which led up to your civil war
and the breaking away of Panama from

"Do you think Panama could main

Spokane is a baby boy at the Chill

Where is his father? Nobody knows,
nobody cares.
The child is so frail, so tiny that it

Yet, within few weeks, his hands

Reserves Established.

Reserves Established.
President Roosevelt is evincing a great
interest in the preservation of forests in
the West. He has ordered more reserves
established in the comparatively short
time that he has been in the White
House than did any of his immediate
predecessors. AS soon as a tract OF land
is Withdrawn for a forest reserve, rang
ers are stationed throughout the terri
tory and signs posted warning persons
against settling there. President Roose-
welt has already issued twenty procla-
nations making forest reserves. Presi-
dent Harrison issued sixteen, and Pres
ident Cleveland in his second term u.s.
sued the same number, while President
Mckinley Issued nineteen. OF President
Roosevelts proclamations one created a
reserve in Porto Rico and another in
Alaska. This large number Of proclama-
tions may explain the charge made by
the governor of Wyoming that the Presi-
dent is discriminating against farmers
and settlers in his desire TO establish
fishing and hunting reserves.
