The Panama Republic.
What Leading Newspapers Say
About It.-American Duplicity.

Whether their revolt was sug-
gested from Washington and is
encouraged thence it is premature
to say. The promptnesS with which
war ships and troops are being sent
to the scene is suggestive. We are
to land troops, it appears, strictly
to preserve order along the line of
the Panama railway, as we have
right to do. Whether we shall do
this in a way to paralyze the efforts
of the United States of Colombia to
put down the revolt remains to be
seen.-Baltimore Sun.

! Scandal, vexation, and delay
have aided every step of our
procedure in the ill-advised Panama
canal undertaking. The difference
in cost and in engineering considera-
tons is too slight to offset the perils
to our peace and our reputation
that attend further progress with
the Panama undertaking The
American people prefer the Nicara-
qua route, they believe it to be
superior, they want the canal con-
structed across the isthmus- at that
point. Under the law of congress it
is probably the duty of the pres
ident, it is evidently within his
discretion, to adopt definitely the
route and consign the
Panama canal to oblivion. Scandal
has beset it throughout its history.
That scandal now involves our
government. We must protect our,
good name.-New York Times.

The honor of the United States is
at stake. It's reputation for faith
with friendly nations, and especial
" its future influence in Central
and South America, are in peril.
Let it be understood that the
rebellion on the itshmus was in
spired by officers of this govern
ment, encouraged by movements
within our diplomatic or our naval
service, or is now to be given aid
and comfort by any Interpretation
of the laws of neutrality in favor of
the rebels-and the credit of the
American Republic will sink to a
par with that of Russia.-Philadel-

But it is inconceivable that our
government will connect the move
ments of navy with the canal
project, or attempt any further
negotiations with Colombia on that
matter until the present situation
is cleared. Numerically and in
point of resources the new republic
would be in a situation similar to
that of Andorra. Strategically and
In its relations toward our own
government, however, it would be

purely and thoroughly scientific temperament.
She positively declined to be drawn out into
any expression of opinion conjecture in re-
gard to any of the practical results or benefits
to humanity that may eventually be obtained
from radium. She refused, for instance, to say
whether she thought that radium might some
day serve a cure or prevention of cancer.
In response to such questions Nine. Curie
simply said: why. do not know. How can L

Radium, that precious metal discovered by
the joint researches of Professor Pierre Curie,
of the scientific faculty of the Sorbonne. and
his wife, and of which only five grams have
ever been obtained. becomes more mysterious
and phenomenal with each successive scientific
investigation. 1t was Nine. Curie who, by her
own experiments, first succeeded in isolating
radium and collecting it in the form of a pure
salt From ten tons of pitchblende. brought
from Joachimstal, in Bohemia, two decl-
grams Of radium were extracted after long
and delicate chemical process. The cost of OBJ
tanning radium was estimated last year at

be at the rate of 150.0O0O00 francs $780,.
