Recent AdViceS From Pana-

Assistant Secretary LOOmis does not
credit the reports Of a movement Of
CoIombians against the Isthmus OF
Panama. With battleships on both
sides of the isthmUs and communicai-
ton with important cities in Colombia,
Mr.. LOomis believes It unlikely that any
movement could begin which would not
be brought Immediately 10 the attention
OF the State Department.
Navy Department officials admitted
this morning that the landing Of United
States marines from the Dixie on the
Isthmus OF Panama is justified by the
orders cabled Rear Admiral Henry
Glass last Thursday to take every means
to prevent the invasion of the isthmus
BY Colombia.

Now that the canal treaty has been
ratified by the Panama Jlnta. il is held
By the Administration that TO all intents
and purposes the canal strip is the
property of the United States. and this
country is justified In taking every
means 10 prevent Colombia from making
any hostile movement on the Isthmus
OF Panama. The orders sent Rear Ad-
miral Glass directed him 70 send gun
beats and fast cruisers to reconnoiter
along the Colombian coast for the dual
purpose OF making a display of naval
force in Colombian waters and TO ascer-
tain, If possible. whether or not Coiom-

washington, Sept B.--tspeciai Gener-
al william c. Oates spent yesterday and
to-day In Washington, leaving tonight
for Alabama after looking after some
real estate in which he invested during
his early years in Congress. He left Mrs.
Oates at Atlantic City for a little longer
stay at the resort.
General Oates was sought by the news
paper men for a talk on politics. His
response was rather In a reminiscent
than a speculative or prophetic vein. al
though he expressed the hope that the
Democrats might solve the great difficult
ty that confronted them of uniting Upon
a candidate who would unite the party
at the polls.
The Democratic slogan should call for
honest and economical government. he
said in response to the demand of the
hour for a return to clean and pure ad-
ministration in every department and
branch of the government.
For one thing" said General Oates.
THE proposition of the Secretary of the
Treasury to take large sums of money
out Of the treasury for deposit in the
national banks is all wrong.
1T Is a step not only to embark the
government in the banking business. but
means permitting the national banks to
run the government. The money does not
belong to the banks but to the people.

The latest details of the fighting at

with a battalion of Turkish troops. 1t is
reported that 800 of the Turks were killed.
In a three hours fight at Kerikko be-

The insurgents loss was slight. The
Turkish forces are reported to have en-

to be false. The Government is sending

the public school fund. Choctaw County,
he said. quoting from the Auditors re-
port, paid into the Treasury from all
sources. only 5000 In taxes, yet the same
County received from the school fund
over $4,000. Marshall County, he said,
was not m a much better position to crit
icize as that County paid In taxes only
$4,000. yet 1t got back for the schools
alone $4,000. He contrasted with these
counties Jefferson County, which paad in
taxes $1ss, 900 and received from the school
fund only $4,000.
Speaker on the Floor.
Speaker Tunstall, on the floor. submit
ted that all schools should be put upon
the same footing. The House had allowed
the increased appropriation to Troy and
Florence. Was there any good reason
why It should not be accorded to Living
ston and Jacksonville, he asked. The
girls at Livingston, he said, should GER
tainly have the same consideration as the
students at Florence.
The question before the House. Mr.. Ar
mold of Calhoun, said. was whether equal
and exact Justice should be done to all
the schools. He quoted figures to show
the efficiency and scope of the Jackson
Vile Normal School and to show the rec
ords of the graduates of the school. The
normal schools, Mr.. Arnold said, were
an important auxiliary to the public
school system of the State.
Put upon its passage the Senate amend
ment was adopted with votes to spare.

Cars visit to Vienna, when the matter
was to be discussed fully. Emperor Fran

recent exchange Of views brought the
powers to a stage where a decision Is
about to be reached regarding the char

Beuque, who is respectable in dress and

rested, declaring that publicity would aid
him in getting the money. When asked
why he wrote the letter, Beuque replied:

would imply. but that the legations
have been warned to look out for their
own safety.

Beuque's threats were not aimed esna-
