The situation at Panama.

Chances of a war with Colombia
are much discussed in Washington, and
ii is thought quite possible that Colum-
bias determination to attack Panama
viii involve her in conflict with the
United States. General Reyes, who
is still in Washington, recognizes the
danger of this, and continues TO cable
his countrymen to be patient, and
not to forget that war with Panama
means war with the only world power
of the western hemisphere.
He has handed Secretary Hay a
note of protest against the United
States, recognition of Panama, and is
awaiting the reply before returning
to Colombia to take command OF the
army and charge of the government.
No doubt the general viii sry to fight
If his countrymen insist, but seeing
the useIessness of such q struggle, he
intends to do his utmost to prevent it.
TO answer the criticism of the dem
ocrats that the ratification of the
canal treaty by the Panama iunta was
not equivalent to its acceptance by
representative men on the Isthmus,
Minister Bunau- Varilia brought TO the
state department official notice that
the act of the junta has been form
ally approved by the municipal coun-
ellis of the twelve principal provinces
of the republic.
Admiral John g. Walker has re-
turned from the Istnmus, and handed
a satisfactory report to the President.
He says that the health of the marines
ON the Isthmus is good, that there are
now plenty of them to protect Pam
anna, that their presence Is desired by
the inhabitants, and that il is not adj
visable to send regular troops, as this
action might cause some uneasiness.
Minister ". I. Buchanan is now at
Panama, and was accorded magnifi
cent reception at the government
palace. All the ministers, members
of the iunta and prominent foreigners
were present. The new American
minister was escorted by body of
troops, and given a guard of honor.
He has presented his credentials, and
complete diplomatic relations with
the new republic are thus established.
Great Britain and Cuba have recog-
nized Panaraa.
The administration is prepared for
any emergency on the Isthmus. More
marines are being sent, and several
transport ships are in. readiness to
hurry troops to the scene in case Of
trouble. II there must be war, it 10
thought that the most humane way
would re TO end it at once, and in
such a manner that il would not
occur again. Colombia would be de-
feated quickly, and would perhaps be-
come American territory.

THE LOBSTER INDUSTRY
In Hancock County Good-S3o0,o 900

In Hancock County Good-S3O0, 900
Worth Taken in 1908.
The lobster business In Hancock county
has been good the past year although
failing behind 1902
In his annual report A. Z. Sickerson,
commissioner OF sea snd shore fisheries,
says the nunssr OF HOLSTERS taken IN
Hancock county water was /, ia 9o6 and
the value was ESQ 81.
With the exception OF Knox county
these figures are high line. Knox county
fishermen got ,s0l ,e7i HOLSTERS yiiued al
s30S $50. The total number of Holsters
taken in the state was 1.494 sci; value
q, 2ls s46.
In addition to the above there bad been
about 400, 900 HOLSTERS imported from Nova
Scotia 10 Maine and handled by dealers
In Portland and Rockiand. The total
catch OF HOLSTERS for 1903 fails behind thst
OF 1912 by 6so.s5o HOLSTERS, but the value
of catch falls short only S6.sl2, tie reason
for which is higher average price having
been obtained through the season.
.The difference in the total catch" ,lssy 9

losses OF gear aud pots during the many
severe storms which have visited our State,
reducing the number of pots consider
ably, 50 that when the average catch to
each pot IL calculated 1t Is found that the
average number of HOLSTERS caught by
each pot, will come fully up to 1909, there

in past years.

In renouneing their opposition to
the canal treaty, the minority senators
have been described as deserving a
sinking ship, and politicians are now
asking what viii be the effect of Sem
ator Germans blunder in starting his
party on a course from which they
were turned by the instruction of
their state legislatures, or by the de-
mands of democratic governors and
their party press
The Maryland senator has Led his
party into g mistake, and has injured,
IL not destroyed, his chances for the
democratic nomination; at least such
is the general opinion in Washington
Its significant that Leader Murphy
of Tammany hall, whose motto is
success, and who judges men merely
by their vote getting ability, has
given out partial endorsement of
william Randolph Hearst IS the next
candidate, although until recently
the Tamrnanv leader was very friendly
with Senator German.
