Convicted Walking Delegate Makes
 Remarkable Statement.

New York. Nov. 7.-Before he left his cell here to begin serving his sentence of more than two years in Sing Sing prison for extortion of money from employers, samuel Parks, cx-walking delegate of To- cal Housesmiths and Bridgemen's Union, called about him a number of newspaper men to bid them farewell. In doing so he made the following statement:
 Its only taken little more than seven years for them to get me here. It has been a hard light and I've lost, that's all. I'm down and out, and I know when I've got enough. I'll be forgotten Tn less than a year, except by some of the boys. Otherwise there was some good In me- and I'm sorry for it. Every laboring man in this country should remember me for years to come. I should be a warning to them. I'm the victim of a custom that Is older than I am. and that is the habit of having money transactions with the employers. That put me here.
 ''The salvation of the unions lies in stopping that practice at once. They must give up fines, waiting time. back pay for strikes and everything like that. That's the loop-hole through which this grating as they call 1t, creeps In. The employers never leave any tracks. I could name 100 employers here who have made a practice of using labor unions against competitors. I know plenty of employers who have made fortunes by the use of money or a young fellow who mas never made more than a couple of dollars a day and has been put in authority by his union

A CANAL AGITAToR.
varilla Has Long Fought for the
 Waterway

Paris Nov. Recommending on M. Buena Varilla's appointment, the Temps reviews his long efforts in behalf of the canal and says: His conferences through out the United States largely contributed to the final acceptance of the Panama route. He afterwards went to Colombia and sought to induce the acceptance of the Hay-Herran treaty. This so strongly inclinded popular sentiment at Panama in his favor that on the new republics s organization, and its reorganization by the United States. it gave the post of honor to the man who had devoted all his en- ergies to seeing the canal realized"
 Other evening papers devote leading ar ticles to the action of the United States fin recognizing the de facto goverumpent of Panama
 The Journal des Debats and The Temps agree in saying that the sympathetic at titude of the United States towards the revolution contributed to its success"
 The Temps points out that the govern- ments of Europe have carefully refrain ed from adopting an attitude which might wound the susceptibilties of the United States"

 T thank you for your action in con ferring this distinction on me. pledge my best efforts to justify your confidence and ask your cooperation, without which cannot hope to succeed" 1"
 A resolution was adopted making the elective officers of the House in the last Congress the nominees of the caucus for the Fifty-eighth Congress. They are Alexander McDowell, Clerk of the House; Henry Casson, Sergeant-at-Arms; Frank E. Lyon, Doorkeeper; J. c. McElroy. Postmaster and Rev. Henry D. Couden. Chaplain.
 Representative Payne of New York moved that the rules of the Fifty-seventh Congress be adopted for the Fifty-eighth. Representative Hepburn of Ohio moved to amend so as to make them rules for forty days, saying that that would give the new members an opportunity to familiar ike themselves with the rules so they might vote knowingly on the question of the government of the House. He said if that was done he would make an effort to have the rules amended in three oi four particulars. The amendment was lost by a vote of 103 to q, when the
 original motion was carried. On motior it was decided that fifty shall be the number necessary to call a caucus.

MAIYNAME r
 4 A CARDINAL Rsymor of the Pope's |~ Intentions.  A CONSISTORY ON MONDAY
 Ireland and Ryan in Lead for the Honor. Location of Formers Diocese and the General Esteem in Which He is Held Is In His Favor.

Rome, Nov. Ion the eve of Monday s consistory a rumor Is in circulation here that in addition to the appointments of Monsignors Merry del Val and Callagari to the Cardinalate, 1t is known other Cardinals will be named. Rumor has il that the new cardinals will be Americans, that is, they will belong to the American continent. The prevailing opinion Is that one will be from the United States and another from Brazil the latter Country having recently again asked that she be given a cardinal.
 Immediately upon learning of this report a representative of the Associated Press tried to obtain some information on the subject. He learned that the Pope theo- retically even in the consistory can pro- pose new members of the Sacred College and is still considered certain that at least one other cardinal will be created Monday.
 The situation as regards a new Ameri- can cardinal stands as follows:
 Position of the Matter.
 After Pope Plus was elected he received in audience high American prelate who before leaving the United States had dined with President Roosevelt. The lat ter had often been urged to manifest to the Vatican a preference for the ap- polntment or anOtner American CarQinaI, and he had always answered that the Constitution of the United States forbade such initiative of the complete separation of church and state, but he was not un- willing to charge the prelate to say con- fidentially to the Pope that the conferr- ing of the red hat upon Archbishop Ire- land would please a majority of the peo- pie of the United States, even non-Cath- olics. -t ..N ts
 Contemporaneously' higher American prelate who was in Rome, and was being consulted by the Pope on the best candi- date for the purple order excluded the name of Archbishop Ireland because of the dissension alleged to have been ai- ways going on over him and supported instead Archbishop Ryan as . pious, zeal- ous and generous ecclesiastic whose name would encounter no opposition. Since then the Vatican has received arguments in favor and opposing both Archbishops Ireland and Ryan also those opposed to the latter saying his nomination would merely mean the elevation of the arch bishop of a certain diocese, where a card inal Is less needed. Cardinal Gibbons be- ing near, while the appointment of Arch bishop Ireland besides giving the United States cardinal in the west would add a member to the Sacred College who would not be merely an archbishop, but a man of commanding infiue.<e through out the United States.
 Thus the question now lies before the Pope, and it is considered very doubtful If 1t will have solution even at the first consistory of 1904.

QUESTION OF MONEY.
Inability to Get It Prevents War in
 East


 London, Nov. 1.-The Associated Press learns that if the Russo-Japanese nego- 1 tiations end satisfactorily as Is now ex- | pected, it will be due in great measure | to the British governments pledge of it's good office toward raising another large Japanese loan in London.
 It appears that the question of finance has been almost a deciding factor in the dramatic chapter of recent events in the Far East.
 The understanding arrived at between M. Delcasse, French foreign minister. and Lord Lansdowne, British foreign secre- tary, regarding their respective far east ern allies prior to the signing of the Am glo-French arbitration treaty apparently had even a more important material basis than was indicated when that understand ing was first announced. On excellent dip- lomatic and official authority 1t can be said that Russia and Japan, between whom rurhor made war imminent, were negotiating for more money, Japan in London and Russia in Paris. Using this as lever, Lord Lansdowne and M. Del casse worked vigorously for peace.
 Exactly how far M. Delcasse was able to go with Count Lamsdorff, Russian for eign minister, in this direction for the sake of averting a war which would se- riously endanger the newly formed Anglo French entente. is not known. but there is no doubt that Sir Ernest Satow, Brit ish minister to Japan. at Lord Lans- downe's instigaton, threatened Japan that Great Britain would not give her any financial help should she unneces- sarily precipitate hostilities.
 The result of this interesting chapter in diplomacy which in its entirety will probably never be revealed in pubIished dispatches, is that in the event of a sat- isfactory conclusion of the Russo-Japan- csc negotiations. Japan, shortly after sign- ing treaty. will endeavor to float anoth- CT loan in London. having the full unoffi- cial support of the British government All that the foreign office will say for publication in this connection Is that 1t is extremely probable that Japan will need more money.
 From one of the leading embassies here. however the Associated Press learns that even in signing treaty under which Rus sia will agree to give up all claim to commercial and politica privileges in Korea winch is now conceded to be the basis of the forthcoming agreement, Ja- pan will feel constrained to keep up her present defensive strength at any rate until the spring of 1904. Hence the Brit ish governments unofficial guarantee that on the successful conclusion of a treaty with Russia. Japan sha have ade- quate financial resources to maintain her forces as a safeguard.

MADE STRONG SPEECH.
Williams's Address One to Be Long
 Hemem bared


 Washington, Nov 7.-fSpecial. .)-Repre- sentative John Sharp Williams, in his speech this afternoon accepting the nom- inatfon of the Democratic party caucus for the minority leadership, commended himself strongly, eloquently and happily to his party associates. The manner in which he asked for party unity and in- sisted upon it as essential to the effec- tfveness of the position entrusted to him seemed to please everybody.
 Especial approved by members was his insistence that the minority members of all committees should keep themselves informed on the transaction of their re- spective committees and impart their knowledge to him from time to time.
 His earnest invocation of renewed de- votion to Democratic principles on every question that affected the people was heartily applauded and made a distinctive agreeable and inspiring impression.
 MT. Williams. although recently an in- valid, and but now convalescing from a severe illness, addressed himself to the task of fitting acknowledgment of the honor given him, with engaging spirit, ad- mirable pose, deliberation and an evident sincerity of high purpose that have caused the Democrats of the House to say generally that they have made no mistake in the choice of the Mississippian for their leader.
 There was not the slightest apparent effoi at oratoricai flourish in his speech, but plain, earnest talk of an honest man who fully appreciates the weight of great responsibility and shrinking not from it's pressure, sensibly and manfully invoked the sympathy and affection as well as the most intelligent and effectual cooperation of his fellows in a serious cause.
 It was a speech that will be long re- membered. It is more talked of and com nended tonight than 1t was half an hour after the applause which greeted it had ceased. R. H Watkins

czar's Government Has Poured Mii- lions Into the Province and Be- Heves Itself Entitled to
 Fruits of Its Labors.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 1.-The chief in- terest which St. Petersburg now seems to take in the Far Eastern situation is in regard to the attitude of the United States.
 There is a growing belief that Ameri- can sentiment Is distinctly unfriendly. This feeling in the official world un- doubtedly extends to business circles. Americans here are constantly asked if 1t is true that America is the enemy of Russia. x
 This sentiment is undoubtedly attirbut- ed chiefly to the American attitude as given by the English newspapers. but the publication of Secretary Hays reply to the B'Nai B'Rith petition added thereto. These views are fairly voiced by M. Souverike. editor of The Novoe vremye. the most powerful Russian newspaper. In expressing amazement at the anti-Rus- sian agitation in America, which, he de- clares, is incomprehensible here, he says:
 Russia's Proof of Frendship.
 Russia proved her friendship for America in the trying days of tle Revo- lutionary and Civil Wars. and later by the cession of Alaska. After the Span- ish War, she offered no obstacle to Amer ican expansion in the Philippines Now. when Russia is dealing with the difficult problem of Manchuria, America seems to forget and sides against Russia. Is that treating Russia fairly? American in- terests in Manchuria are insignificant compared with ours. Russia, having pour ed in millions for the purpose of civilizinE the province, is entitled to the fruits Of her labors.
 , Personally, I think 1t childish to ever relinquish fit. We want to preserve the friendship of America. Does America count a possible rupture so lightly as to be unwilling to consider our vast inter. estsT

 The pubic manifestations of joy con- tinue throughout the length and breadth of the Isthmus. It is not forced enthusi- asm but real expression of joy that the population are once for all delivered from the yoke of their opressors.'
 All classes of the population go arm in arm and the enemies of yesterday are to be seen embracing each other. To this picture there is no shadow. Two members of the provisional government of the Re- public arrived from Panama this morn- ing accompanied by a band. and were given an enthusiastic reception by the populace. The foreign population of the Isthmus is apparently as joyful as the natives over the installation of the new regime.
