THE SITUATION IN PANAMA.

European newspapers AMI anti-Im-
perialists In the United states are
probably roundly denomcing the
United States for its action IT Panama.
Possibly some papers have gone to the
extent of writing of Secretary Hay and
President Roosevelt as "rirates" ant
"fllibusterers" but America has certain
rights on the Isthmus Of Panama,
guaranteed by very ancient treaty,
which permit her to do many things
there that people unfamiliar with that
document might regard as high handed
measures.
President Roosevelt has evidently been
well acquainted with the IreDarations
which have been going on at Panama
and Colon ever since last July, for
war against the government OF Colom-
bia. An enormous number Of arms
and much ammunition has been re-
Gently smuggled into Panama. For
years every Colombian has been sup
piled with a rifle and ammunition and
this late importation alone should con-
vince anyone that something OF
momentous nature was impending.
Many Venezuelans and adrenturers
from all parts of Central America and
from Venezuela have focked to Pana-
ma and Colon. The firing of shot
would set off a revolution which might
needlessly destroy many lives. The in
terests of Panama are in the main dis
similar to those of the main portion
of Colombia on the South American
continent.
over half a century ago our govern
ment became responsible for the main
tenance of unchecked travel across the
Isthmus. In 1886 the United states
made treaty with New Granada, now
Colombia, in which it was provided, in
the thirty-ffth article, that the right
of transit over the Isthmus should
be open and free to the Government
and citizens of the United States" and
the United States at the same time
the neutrality Of the 18TH
mus and agreed to protect 1t from for
eign aggression. Should a great civil
war occur there and the Colombian
government be worsted a new govern
ment would rise to power which might
say: 1.-THE Republic of Colombia Is no
more, this new government has nothing
to do with the old treaty" In this way
American interests in the Isthmus
might be greatly imperilled. The Uni
ted States now steps in with her
marines to prevent just such happen
ing and at the same time is ready to
the old treaty rights If new
government takes charge of the ter
rtory affected by the treaty.

EXPANSION.

Events are coming thick and fast at
Panama and II looks as II the Ameri-
cans were in full control OF the State.
The course of the Nashville in going
to Colombian port to prevent the
free use Of It by the Colombian govern
ment, means that the United States
is ready to fight, II necessary. to pre-
serve it's foothold on the isthmus. An
air of summary annexation, with the
consent OF the Panama people, Is over
the whole proceeding. 1t is evident
from this mornings dispatch about
Secretary Hays statement that an
contemporaries" uproar has started
in the United States; but 1t is doubt
full If this will amount to much. When
all is said and done the American peo-
pie will again prove themselves Ro-
man race, land hungry and determined
to have and to hold. Their empire
has steadily grown from decade TO
decade, spreading over the better part
of a continent and reaching far from
its ocean shores to mid-Pacific Islands,
to the Arctic Ocean and to an Asiatic
province. Today the sun does not set
on their domains. May we not soon
come to regard the occupation OF the
western hemisphere, from Greenland
to Cape Horn, as part of Americas
manifest destiny?

SECRET LAND DEALS.

Elsewhere herewith the Advertiser
gives the details of various proposed
government realty transactions inVolV'
ing several hundred thousand dollars
worth of land. These deals are being
negotiated privately by the Superin-
tendent of Public Works and the Com
missioner of Public Lands. NO one
except the officers and the individuals
interested, knows exactly what pup
lie lands are to be exchanged or what
the Governm- MT is to receive in en-
change or what the relative values are.
The Advertiser makes no imputation
against the probity or honor of the
officials who re handling this matter
or of the individuals who are dealing
with the m, nor does 1t suggest that the
transactions in question are not bene-
fetal to the public and perfectly fair.
The block of land in one of the par
ticular cases mentioned, viz: the opera
house block, adjoining the court house
lot on the Eva side, will be an ex-
tremely valuable acquisition by the
Government If it can be had at a fair
price.
e But this paper does object to pubic
affairs of this magnitude, which nave
not received legislative sanction, being
conducted in secret.
II the proposed transactions are in
the public interest, the individuals con-
cerned will not suffer If the pubic
knows the facts.
There may be vital reasons unknown
or unthought of by the officials why
certain public lands desired by private
parties should not be sold. If pub
licity is given to every proposition OF
this nature, objections may be develop
ed which would never have been known
but for such publicity.
Z The Advertiser is not now Directing
to any one of the deals in question,
as 1t does not possess information upon
which an intelligent opinion can be
based. All that Is objected to Is that
ANY tranaction Of this kind should
be carried through in private. IL
urges upon tie private interests in
volved as well as upon the officers who
are representing the public In this
matter, that in their own as well as
the public interests, full public state
ment should be made of exactly what
Is proposed.
After such publication. reasonable
time should be allowed to elapse before
action Is taken.
The statement has been made by
Mr.. Cooper that he wishes to close
these deals before he leaves office. This
is unnecessary and improper The new
administration is an honest and pro-
gressive one and can be depended upon
to carry through to contamination
any negotiations which are for the
public interests, which are uncomplet-
ed when the present administration
goes out of office. Any attempt to
rush transactions of this magnitude
through without the knowledge of
either the public or the new admins
tration will be unseemly.

WALL STREET BUBBLES.

The failure of the Shipbuilding Trust,
which is an incident of the smashup
in "industrials," Is described by SO
conservative a paper as the New York
Evening Post as one "in which nearly
every element of indecent cheating ap-
pears to have been present" one of
the men whom the trust ruined. Mr..
Daniel l.. Dresser, has been describ-
ing it's methods in court 1t appears
from his testimony that Mr.. Schwab
had purchased the Bethlehem Steel
Works for 100000 to unload on the
shipbuilding combine. He worked
among the stockholders until he had
induced them to buy his steel plant
giving in return for it bonds to the
amount of $1O0OO,OO0, backed by a
bonus of s1O,0OOOOO of the preferred
stock of the shipyard trust and $lO,-
00O, 900 of the common stock of the
concern. Then the combines stock
holders entered into a second agree
ment under the terms of which the
stock bonus held by Schwab should be
thrown on the market and sold in adj
vance of any other of the shpyard
trusts securities.
That is to say what Schwab bought
for 100000 he sold to the trust for
$50, 900, 900. OF the common and pre-
ferred stock he marketed $780, 900
worth" and still had on hand first
mortgage bonds in ,he sum of $10,0O0.-
900. His net profits We're $9,750,00O.
To make matters worse Schwab Ia
now trying, through foreclosure of the
bonds, to secure the entire plant of
the shipbuilding trust including the
Bethlehem steel works which he sold.
If this scheme succeeds, the old in
vestors in shipyard securities will lose
every dollar they put in and the new
lot of buyers will find themselves bur-
dened with liabilities instead of assets.
Transactions like these account for
the panic in Wall street and the sud-
den collapse of even good securities.
People had bought "industrals" with
a free hand. Faith in Morgan and
Schwab had led them on In the belief
that the ~alue of the shares would
steadily rise. When the crash came
faith in everybody collapsed. If Nor
gan and Schwab were not able to make
good, who could be trusted? AS the
swollen mass of industrials'' toppled
and fell, all securities slipped down hill
after them; and now even gilt edge
is not recommendation for a bond
unless it was put there by the Gov
eminent.
Happily the panic has had no bad
effect on the country. Common pros
perity is not involved and there is no
sequel in hard times. So long as the
people can sell for a profit what they
raise or make, they will not bother
much about the vicissitudes of steel
stocks or get-riCh-q quick investors.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1903-11-10

The Sunday Advertiser prints more
copies than any other paper in Hawaii,
including the Daily Advertiser, and the
demand has increased so much of late
that the generous limit of production
established a couple of months ago,
has been met and passed. On Sun
day last the issue was exhausted save
for dozen copies brought back at the
close of sales by unenterprising news
boys. Very many people who depend
on street or office sales We're disap-
pointed about getting a paper. Next
Sunday three hundred extras will be
printed and these unless a TRANSPORT
should happen in during the early fore
noon, should be ample to meet the
popular demand.
