NEW LIGHTS AT CAPITOL.
Incandescents Take the Place of the
Old Arc Lamps.

Salem-Electricians have finished in
stalling complete equipment of incan-
descent lamps in the rotunda of the
capitol, to take the place of three arc
lights that have been used heretofore.
The arc lamps hung in the center Of
the rotunda, on each of the three floors.
The incandescent lamps are arranged
around the edge of the large circular
openings in the second and third floors.
There are 80 lamps in each of these
circles. Around the base of the interi-
or of the Ornamental dome a circle of
so lamps has been placed in such po-
sition that the light will be thrown
upon the o1namented surface. At the
top of the interior dome is a circular
opening about 20 feet in diameter, COW
cred with ornamental colored glass.
Above this has been arranged group
of 80 incandescent lamps. When all
these lamps are lighted at night the
rotunda of the capitol viii be place of
rare beauty.

JAKE PART OF THR DEBT.
4dama Will Propose Three Millions of
Canal Money Be Used.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE state
ment from London that England, Hol-
land and Germany had decided to in
sist that the new republic of Panama
must assume part of Columbia's for
eign debt, brought an interesting re-
port here today. 1t is understood that
the purpose of Minister Buna-Varrila's s
recent visits to the state department
have been to make an agreement on
this very point. 1t is said that he has
prepared, and will probably sign, in a
few days, an agreement by which the
Panama republic binds itself to Colon
bia, for application on her foreign debt,
one-third of the SIC, 900, 900 which the
United States is to pay Panama. Such
an agreement would be very satisfactory
to the United States government, which
is inclined to believe Panama, as mat
ter of equity, at least, should assume
portion of Colombia's g debt.

TO PLAN FOR WAR.
Secretary Root Will Be Ready for ANY
Trouble In Panama,

Washington, Dec. 15-General J.
Franklin Bell, commander at Fort
Leavenworth, was ordered to report
here today, and at once started East.
The coming of General Bell to WASH
ington, while it has more or less to do
with matters connected with the gen.
eral staff college, is admitted by Off
GERS of the general staff to be for the
purpose of consulting with the officials
regarding probable campaign against
Colombia should that country continue
the movement of troops toward the 18TH
mus. It was intimated that matters
had reached the point where troops
might be moved at any time, which
would seem to indicate that the depart
ment is in possession of information
the nature of which justifes actual
preparations for the movement OF
United States troops toward Panma. ii
Although the fact would not be dis
closed the presumption is that in the
event of troops being sent, General Bell
will be put in comand.

BILL WILL CARRY
RIVER AND HARBOR APPROPRIATION
SAFE In THE HOUSE. w..
Amounts, However, Will Be SmalI-Work
Now Under Way Will Get the Bulk of
H-New Projects Are Doomed-Co-
Iumbia River and Oregon Coast Will
Be Recognized.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The fact that
the river and harbor committee of the
house today held preliminary meet
ing and decided to enter upon a series
of hearings of representatives from the
leading states of the United States that
are in need of further appropriations
for their harbors and waterways, is
taken to indicate that river and har-
Dor bill will be passed at the present
session. The opinion generally pre-
walls, however, that such bill to Sc
cure approval of the house leaders,
must make comparatively small ap-
preparation, and provide principally for
continuing work previously begun,
which would include all Columbia river
improvements not taken care of in the
sundry civil bill, as we'll as the more
important work along the Oregon coasts
that are now in course of construction.
1t is probable the bill will make pro-
vision for surveys, but very little in
the way of out and out new appropria-
tions.
