The Panama Revolution.

A revolution IN Central or South
America is nothing new under the SUI,
and We never are surprised to hear Of
fresh one. We are especially we'll
prepared for the news from Panama,
because the people Of that little State
have been murmuHing much against
Colombia, fearing that, by it's avarice
and stupidity, Colombia might defeat
the canal scheme in which Panama is
so deeply interested.
Colombia consists Of nine depart
ments or States-Antioquia, Bolivar,
Boyaca, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Mag
dalena, Panama, Satander and Tolina
and has population of about 5000,
600, of whom about one-half are white
and half castles.
The department of Panama has a
population of about 325, 900. The pros
perity of the State depends upon its
favorable geographical position, which
facilitates transit from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. The distance from
Limon Bay to Panama, on the latter
is only thirty-hve miles, and the
highest elevation on the watershed
does not exceed 27s feet. A railway
forty seven and half miles in length
connects the ports of Panama ano
Colon. In 1879 Ferdinand de Lesseps
commenced work onfa canal to connect
the two oceans, but in March, 1882,
work was suspended, though it was
resumed in 1894, and continued until a
short while ago, when the French
company sold out to the United States
Government, subject to certain
treaty which this country proposed to
Colombia.
The Republic of Colombia, few
months ago, rejected the treaty pro
posed by this country. It demanded a
greater bonus than we offered it, and
it objected to ceding to US as full and
complete jurisdiction as we want over
the strip of country through which
the canal passes. That action OF the
Colombian Government aroused great
indignation on the lsthmus, where tie
canal project is highly popular. Time
and again we'll known spokesmen OF
Panama have said that if Colombia
would not grant the United States the
privileges it wishes, Panaam would
secede, set up a government for Itself
and vote this country the required
franchises.
Such, we believe, is the basis of the
revolution on the Isthmus, which al
ready has assumed such proportions
that President Roosevelt has been
compelled to order thither seveFa!
ships of war in order to protect
American interests.
No doubt this country will suf1er
from some suspicion of having TO-
mented this revolt, but we trust our
national skirts are clear. We have
never doubted that the United States
could bring Colombia to terms with
out using force. And, then, too, if we
could not get terms from Colombia,
Nicaragua and Costa Rica are known
to be willing to treat with US, and
many people think the Nicaragua
route is better than the Panama route.
With characteristic impudence, tie
revolutionists have called upon Pres
dent Roosevelt to recognize the new
government. But there is nothing yet
to recognize, and for the present
our concern is for the safety of
Americans and American interests in
that quarter. These will be protected
at all hazard, and before it is all over
the revolutionists may get recogni-
tion'' from Uncle Sam of character
not to be relished. Richmond Times.

Berlin, Nov, S.-Emperor William
yesterday underwent an operation for
q polypas from his laryn:i. The opera
sion was performed by Prof. Mcritz
Scslnids and was entirely successful.
The cnly Inconvenience suffered by

world waits. Therefore for the general
good delay in this matter connot be
permitted.
81 consider that the republic OF
Panama today is fulfilling all the
duties of a regular government. I am
ready to begin negotiations tomorrow
with the Washington government,
which already has extended Us practical
recognition. I should say from the
present outlook the conclusion of a
satisfactory treaty need be matter Of
but a short time. We both want the
canal. Why should We wait? We are
both of good faith and can take up the
subject in sincerely and with a COM
mon desire to arrive at immediate and
practical results. -
The minister at this point reiterated
strongly his declaration of yesterday
that he vas in no way connected With
the Panama Canal company.
Glow soon do you expect to be re-
cognized by the other powers?" the
minister was asked.
every shortly,' was the reply.
ssFrance has already indicated unom
cially her willingness to follow the
lead of the United States, thereby
showing her appreciation of the
Washington governments high motives
which inspired the recent action of
the United States in promptly recog-
nizing my government and Offering her
protection against foreign foes.
"The two tri-colcr flags will be once
more associated with this great enter
prise which France has begun and
which the United States will finish.
"In notifying him of my appoint
ment as minister will express to Secre-
tasy Hay the warm gratitude OF the
government and people Of Panama.
[ do not fear that the South American
republics will be hurt by the recent
events. Though every man is more
inclined to support man of his own
race and tongue know too we'll the
sense of honor Of tbs Spanish race not
to realize after the most Objectionable
attitude Of Colombia, and her absolute
disregard Of the right of property in
preventing the execution of a project
vital to the universe, that the good
sense of the Latin Americans WILL
cause them to heartily approve and
endorse as eminently correct anc pro-
per the entire course Of the Washing
ton government regarding the events
of the past week on the isthmus. So
far from being land grabber, the
United States will entirely respect and
maintain che independence of my gov
renment.

Manchester. Nov. s.-The cloth
market during the past week showed a
hardening tendency in consequence OF
the rise in the price Of cotton check
ing trade with China. While the
practical demand from India showed
an inclination to lag, moderate parcels
were sold as the result OF prolonged
longs. The trade with South America
was more active. Yarns were firm,
preventing important transactions,
though the manufactures from Ameri.
can cotton were in fair request, The

Cotton sold yesterday on the local
market for 1880 for middling. The
highest price paid Monday was 1885,
but the market broke about noon and
in the afternoon the buyers closed out
their days purchases at 1880. The
decline in price is believed to be only
temporary and due almost entirely to
the influence of speculation in the
New York and Liverpool exchanges.

Kidnapped His Own Daughter.
The kidnapping grew out OF divorce
proceedings i'm Butte some time ago.
Mrs. Emma BrOught0n asked seDara-
ton from her husband on the grounds
OF cruelty and failure to support. She
set forth In her complaint that Mr.
Brought0n was a gambler and failed
% provide for his wife and child The
case was tried before Judge Clancy,
who gave the wife a divorce and the
custody of the child After that the
father, it Is alleged, went into another
court and, upon an affidavit which Is
alleged 90 have been false, had the Or
der of the other court set aside. and
was himself awarded the custody Of the
child.
Watching a favorable opportunity,
Broughton. 20 is alleged, kidnapped the
child from her mother Mrs. Brough-
ton then went before Judge Clancy
and had her husband cited TO appear to
show cause why the first 0rder of that
court had been set aside, and why he
should not be punished for contempt Of
court. When the time set for the case
came, Broughton failed TO appear and
the child was again awarded TO the
custody Of the mother

A few days ago "a western man hap
pened into the Office of one of the lead
ing publishing houses IN New York

representative Of the mountains and
the plains beyond the Mississippi what
he thought of some Of the western
novels published during the past year
or two.
what do you think is the best west
ern Fiction you have read2' asked the
publisher The Westerner had read

We'll" he drawled in reply. there
was a book brought out several months
ago called The End of the Trail by a
fellow named Mason. He knew what
he was a-talking about That's the
best western novel I've seen"
They fell TO talking OF western types
and the former cowboy and miner ex-
claimed:
There is one Red Saunders floating
around i'm a book who Is all right. He's
true. That man Phillips. who wrote
the book, must have lived out there for
a long time and known Red Saunders.
I'D be willing TO bet that both Mason
and Phillips lived out west for a num-
Der of years, if they are not western
men. j don't happen to know either
one on them.
THE trouble with most western No

by eastern men who so out west for

naturally, very glad TO turn his cow
