PANAMA TO BE OUR WARD
Treaty Pledges United States to Pro
 tect lsthmuS Sovereignty.

An important article of the new ca nal treaty says Walter Wellman, Washington correspondent of the Chi cagO Record Herald, contains au en. gagement on the part of the United States to maintain the integrity of the Republic of Panama.
 Practically, therefore, in effect, al- though not stipulated in words, the United States becomes tho protector of the isthmuS and has taken the Repub- lie of Panama under its protection. Any attack upon the sovereignty of Panama, either from within or with out, would be met by the Gnited States, which would use its armed forces to maintain the integrity Of the new republic.
 With the United States enjoying a perpetual lease Of the canal zone and it's engagement to preserve inviolate the Republic of Panama, the isthmus will be American and American meth. odS will prevail there. As soon as the treaty Is ratified by the two govern. mentS-and there iS virtually no doubt of ratification both by the Panama re- public and by the United states sen ate-the United States will have rights and duties in the iSthmuS far exceed. ing any 1t has enjoyed in the past. In any future emergency the authority of the United States will not be con fined 10 the maintenance of freedom of transit, but will amount to d pro- tectorate by stipulation. Hence there can never agaIn arise any doubt as t9 the powers which the United States exercises over that strip Of land, of such vast strategic importance in the worlds commerce and naval power.
 The treaty will be sent to Panama for ratification by the junta or what ever form of government is in control when the duplicate copy reaches there. It had been generally supposed the advisory commission which arriy- ed here last night from the iSthmus would have power to ratify the treaty, but 1t appears that this is not the fact. The commission will soon return to the iSthmus and carry copy of the treaty with them. It is expected rat. ification will be accomplished at Pan anna between December and 10. Min. ister Bunau-Varilla win be authorized by wire to exchange ratificatiurs with the United States here in Washington. There is no liklihood, however. that the treaty will be ratitie by the United states before the middle or last Of De- cember.

The L1LdOn correspondent of the Globe Democrat has said that within three months probably within the new year, direct telegraphic communica- tiOn, without intermediate repeating stations, will be established for the first time between New York and Lon- don, and JelegramS will be exchanged at a speed of more than four times the preyjons capacity of any cable. He also expresses the strong expectation that within year it will be as feaSi- ble to converse by telephone between any building in New York and any London office as it is across Manhattan.

Four Weeks Late.

Austin, Texas Sept. S.-The pub
llshed statement that the receipts of
new cotton at Galveston for the month
of August were less than 600 bales, as
compared with more than $4,000 new
bales for the corresponding month
Of last year, was read with much in
terest by Colonel George H. Walton.
the statistical expert Of the state de-
partment of agriculture.
q am not surprised at this show
ing he said yesterday. Il have been
watching the receipts of new cotton at
points throughout the state since the
first bales began coming in, and felt
certain that the falling off as compared
with previous years was very great
much greater than was generally sup
posed The Galveston receipts dem,
onstrate one thing very positively, and
that is that the cotton season is fully
four weeks late instead of being only
three weeks late, as has been thought.
THE greatest danger to cotton now
is an early frost. If frost should come
at the usual time, say about Nov. Is,
it would cause the destruction of a
vast amount Of cotton, which the boil
weevll and boil worm may not have de-
stroyed
"The delayed and slow receipts will
keep up the price of cotton, but when
the picking season gets in full blast
farmers will rush in their cotton to
market and fall of prices may re-
suit"

Houston, Texas, Sept. 3.-Capt.

this city yesterday morning Sam
Stiles the negro who came so near be-
ing executed a few days ago at Cuero.
Yesterday evening Capt. sisk left with
his man for the state prison at Hunts
vile, where he goes to serve life
sentence.
Stiles probably had as close a call
as any man who ever stepped on the
gallows with death sentence over
him. His escape reads like a chapter
in novel The rope was around his
neck and the black cap was over his
head. The hand of the sheriff was on
the trigger to spring it when the
breathless messenger arrived with a
telegram from the governor, commit
ing the sentence.
Stiles is tickled over his escape.
I'm tell you what, boss" he said at
the police station in response to a
query as to how he felt when he heard
the good news. 4 just felt as though
de trap had gone off and de good Lawd
