ELKINS TO WED ACTRESs7
SENATOR'S SON ANXIOUS no MARRY

Until. senator Elkins Give His

The San Francisco Call Yesterday il
an article on the suit of Stephen B.
Elkins, ir., son of Senator Elkins, Of
West Virginia, for the hand Off Edna
Wallace Hopper, the actress, saws:
He has been in San Francisco fni
the past five DAYS. His temporary
abode is restaurant. where, how.
ever. he spends very littls time. fol-
he is devoted to the object Of his affec-
ton and he is often across the bay at
the country residence of the pretty
actress and heiress.
That young Elkins is determined
to wed Miss hopper and that she is
willing to accept the name and com
partnership he offers, no one who has
enjoyed the company of the Young
couple will gainsay. In fact. it is nm
derstood that their betrothal is certain
to follow the first assurance that the
younger Elkins receives from his
father Of parental conformation for his
matrimonial step. Mr.. Elkins. jr.,
expects to remain here until Miss Hop
per is ready to retrun to the east,
which will not be for several weeks.
Some time ago it was reported that
Senator Elkins had warned his son that
a marriage with the actress would not
be condoned. Mr.. Elkins, jr., has
since tried to overcome the objection
of his parent, and in this endeavor he
is said to have been assisted by Miss
HOMER. whose consent to marriage
is reported to be conditioned upon the
success of the young man in his plead
ings with his father.

PANAMA AND POLITICS.

The inevitable has happened upor
the isthmus and the administration
has met the issue with the same
strenuous and answering patriotism
which has characterized all of its
acts. Panama, after enduring many
grievances, has rebeled at the last
straw which came in the shape of
Colombia's rejection of the canal
treaty, and has now seeded from
the general government. The United
States has recognized the new gov
eminent just established and, as a
result, conditions favorable to the
immediate construction of the canal
are shaping themselves. Democratic
demagoguery raises its usual protest,
and declares that the administrati ton
instigated the revolution in Panama
and has practically forbidden Colon
bia to subdue the rebeli0us state. If
we completely ignore the facts in the
case, this seems semi plausible. The
United States, however, is bound by
several treaties to protect the com
merce of the isthmus, and while we
maintain an official neutrality in the
matter, we could not consistently do
otherwise than recognize the only
government which can exist there
without bloodshed, namely the gov
eminent of Panama. Transisthmian
trade concerns the whole world and
the present administration is not to
be intimidated into Sinking its duty
because the opposition tries to so
color and distort the facts as to
make it appear that the Republican
party is advocating secession Let
US, however, bemagnanimous and pity
rather than censure those politicians
who are vainlv seeking an tissue" as
an excuse for their existence.
