DEMOCRATS AGAINST
The PANAMA CONSPIRACY.
Opposition to Treaty With Panama
and Support of Spooner Act.

Washington, Nov. l2.-Democratic
Senators have determined to oppose
the ratification of canal treaty with
the new Republic of Panama should
the Administration enter upon treaty
negotiations with that country. The
Democratic steering committee is said
to be unanimous in condemnation of
the recognition the United States has
given to the creation of a new Govern
ment on the isthmus, though the an
nouncement has been made that no
course of opposition has been definite
ly adopted.
It has been learned upon the au-
thority of member of the Demo
cratic steering committee that the
sentiment of the committee is to at
tack any effort to open negotiations
with the new Republic, and to go be-
fore the country in support of the
Spooner Act. to show that the party
is not antagonistic to the building of
canal It is claimed that the law is
on the side of the Democratic pro-
gramme, inasmuch as the Spooner Act
is a Republican measure. This Act
authorizes the President to proceed
to the construction of a canal on the
Nicaragua and Costa Rica route in
the event negotiations with Colombia
are not concluded within reasonable
time for the Panama route.

FALL RIVER REDUCES WAGES.
Thirty Thousand Cotton Mill
Operatives Affected.

Fall River. Mass. Nov. 11.-Notices
were posted today in the cotton mills
Of this city announcing general re-
duction of 10 per cent in wages to
take effect on November %. About
80, GOO operatives are affected.
The cut-down is attributed to the
unsettled state of the cotton goods
trade, resulting from the high price
of raw material. and to pronounced
hesitation to buy on the part of the
usual purchasers. The action taken
IN Fall River is of widespread i'm
portance, since a step of this nature
in this city usually is followed by
mill owners in Southern and Central
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and
Eastern Connecticut, where total OF
about so, 600 men are employed.
AS soon as the news of the reduction
was announced officials of the Textile
Workers Union began making arrange
ments for a conference to consider the
situation. It is thought, however, that
no general strike will be ordered here
at this time, for the reason that many
of tire manufacturers are short of cot
ton and have large stocks of goods on
hand, which wouh make strike of lit
tie consequence to them.

gan to support prices Before the ad-
vance was checked the market had

ed the previous high point, and then
showed net gain of 19a20 points on
the more active positions. At this
level there was active realizing and
reports that Fall River spiEners would
reduce wages 10 per cent unsettled

the cut might lead to strike and a
consequent reduction in spinners tax
ings. The market closed barely steady

or net 4 points higher to lower.
The sales were estimated at 900, 600.

ance Of three people to try and ex-
plain the disappearance of jewelry.

Miss Hobson seemed to be somewhat
indefinite about the disappearance of

Miss Hobson later was served with
papers by attorneys for her colored

SAN DOMINGO BOMBARDED.

San Domingo, Republic of Santo
Domingo, Tuesday, Nov. .10.-The
city is closely besieged by the revolu-
tionists and commerce is paralyzed.
Firing around San Domingo con-
tinues. Many shells are falling into
the city.
The political situation is unchanged.
The German war ships Panther and

Previous to beginning the lombard

lists notified the diplomatic corps and
the consular officers that they had pre-
viously served notices OH the Domini-
can Government that the forces of the
revolution intended to adopt all means,
including bombardment, in their
efforts to capture the city. The repre-
sentatives of the Powers met today and
decided that they could only hold COM
munications with the legally establish
ed Government of the country.
Gen. Paul Cabrera, at the head of
800 revolutionists, with six pieces of
artillery and treasure chest, con-
tanning $40, 600, arrived yesterday be-

Crunl Renominated.
WASHINGTON.

Washington, Nov. 0.-President
Roosevelt has again sent to the Senate
the nomination of DR.. Crum to be col
lector of the port of Charleston. Since
the Senate committee on commerce
reported the nomination OF Crum
there have been several changes in the
membership Of that committee.
Mason, of illinois, and Jones, of
Nevada, BRepublicans, sand Vest and
Turner, Democrats, have retired. The
opposition to Crum loses three votes,
while Mason was a pronounced advo-
cate Of the negro collector.
It is probable that the reorganization
of the committee may result in
favorable report on the Crum nomina-
tion, but the opposition On the minor
ity side is sufficiently strong to pre-
vent his confirmation.

Senator Tillman's Views.
From the Atlanta Journal.

From the Atlanta Journal.
United States Senator Ben Tillman,
of South Carolina, is in the city to-
day, and gave his opinion es to the
possibilities of the Democratic party
in the coming Presidential election.
Senator Tillman said:
"The Democrats have good chance
of putting in their candidate. The
elections in New York, Maryland and
Rhode Island are victories for the demo
Gratis that will be great help in the
coming election.
"The eletion of Mcclellan in New
York will have national effect.
You see the election Of Democrats here
and there will spread the possibilities
over the entire country.
sSome people have argued that the
comparatively small majority in Mary
land is not victory that will be very
effective nationally. I would like to
call their attention to the. fact that
heretofore we have had no majority at
all, and the election Of Democrat is
a great victory.
"Roosevelt's attitude towards the
negro is going to hurt the chances OF
the Republicans. The race problem as
an issue will be a good one. The peo-
pie over the country are taking an
interest in the elections. The trouble
that the negro caused in the North
the other day during the election will
harm the Republicans.
"The people all over the United
States are changing their ideas regard
ing the black man.
Senator Tillman will leave tonight
for Chattanooga.

this IS a CHEAP JAG.
The Potato and Turnip Make a
Good Int0xicant.

Geneva, N. Y, Nov. 1.-THE potato
and the turnip promise to become the
strong rivals of malt in the manufac-
ture of an intoxicating beverage. The
efficacy of the Juice of these common
vegetables was discovered in novel
way. Thomas Warren, who lives on
the old turnpike road west of Geneva,
NOTICED one day this week that his
hogs appeared dazed.
It was found that George West and
William Mobiles, two itinerant farm
helpers hired by Mr.. Warren recently,
had been squeezing potatoes and tur-
nips up into mash and after procur-
ing all the extract therefrom threw the
remains of the mash to the hogs. The
hogs evidently did not require much
of the leftover essence to get on a
good Gag All last week the swine
have appeared to be jagged and Mr..
Warren succeeded in getting at the
cause only after he found the two farm
hands and dozen chums hitting up
keg of the new " essence OF frument!''
in the barn.
Mobiles was almost dazed by the
dosage. while his partner was COM
pletely paralyzed {" Warren managed
to get the information from the men
that led to the news of the wonderful
properties of potato juice and turnlp
juice as ag-producer.
Mr.. Warren said: 81 tested the
alleged merits of this mixture for my
self. A wine glass full gave me the
sensation of going up in balloon.
Ten minutes aterward I became silly
daunk and it was three hours before [
regained my normal SELF. 1t will be a
winner if put on the market. The
taste is not agreeable, but if some
sweet cordial is added the drink could
be made palatable. may, myself,
start the manufacture Of this new dis
covery. I have warned the boys not
to drink toe much of this stuff and
not to feed any Of the leftover mash
to the swine If the swine have had
the same sensations as l had they yill
be greatly disappointed in not getting
more mash.
Mr.. Warren is one of the farmers
who three weeks ago took measures to
stop the farm hands from tapping corn
silos and extracting the fermented
juice therefrom. Now that potato-tu
nip Juice has been discovered as fine
ag-producer, the farm help need not
come to town any more when they
wish to dispei the horrors of the blues:

UNFOLDING THE
PANAMA CONSPIRACY.
It is Stated in Washington That
il is Too Late for Colombia
To Try to Resurrect Canal Treaty
With United States.

Washington, Nov. lit is stated
here on authority that it is too late
for Colombia to make any effort to re-
surrect the canal treaty with the Unit
ed States, and beyond preventing a
hostile clash between Colombia and the
new Republic of Panama the proposed
visit of Gen. Reyes to Panama will be
without result. The same authority
points out that the United States
Government, having recognized Pana
ma as an Independent State, cannot
now proceed to negotiate with Colon
bia on any terms for canal rights in a
State over which Colombia exercises no
political control, so any future canal
negotiations will be between the
United States Government and the
Government of Panama.
Mr.. Tower, our ambassador at
Berlin, has cabled the State depart
ment that he has been requested by
Baron Richthoffen, the German foreign
secretary, to inform the Washington
Government that the report that Ger
many intended to become involved in
the Isthmian situation is entirely
without foundation. Mr.. Tower adds
that be was further assured by the
foreign secretary, in me- 70 earnest
and sincere manner, that the question
of Germany's interfering in Panama
simply did not exist.
The reply of the State department. to
the protest filed by Mr.. Herran, the
Colombian charge, was forwarded to
him today. 1t was merely a formal
acknowledgment that the protesthad

Faith of the inventors. =!

There is a sermon on faith in the life
of the late Gordon Mckay, who left

wreck a railroad or sell watered stock.

Mckay never turned dollar that was

ventor-one of the few inventors who
have reaped the reward that their
brains deserved. He perfected the
machine which sews soles onto shoes,
and made it possible for the millions
to be we'll and cheaply shod. He pur-
chased the original idea for his ma
chine. The machine was crude and
would net work. 1t was suggestion
only, but Mckay saw the possibility
in it. He put long months of labor
into the invention. He manufactured
machine after machine only to discard
them all. Ee. spent every dollar he
had in the world ard borrowed where
he could. He was called crank and a
fooi. He endured some privation. and
yet he never lost faith in himself or
the outcome of his efforts. Finally be
conquered, and riches beyond his
widest dreams came to him.
