ELECTIONS IN PANAMA.
Formation Of a Permanent Govern
ment Proposed.

Washington, Dec. lathe state de-
pactment has been informed that final
steps have been taken for the forma
ton of a permanent republican form
of government in Panama. The news
cane in dispatch from Consul Gen
eral Gudger as follows:
Election for constitutional conven'
ton called for Jan. 4. The convention
meets Jan. 20"
This action is taken, it is believed
to meet suggestions from Panamans
here that criticism of the new repub.
lie would be largely disarmed and the
status of the new treaty improved if
the final ratifications could be ex.
changed by tho United States with a
permanent and regular form of gov
eminent on the isthmus.
The territory OF Panama is so small
that. according to the belief here. the
elections can be completed within a
week after tho date named-Jan. a.
The convention is expected to follow
generally the outlines of the Cuban
constitution. which is regarded as the
most modern and complete model OF
such documents.

Senate Committee Considers the Utah
Senatorship.


Washington, Dec 14.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
met during the day to outline a policy
to be pursued in Investigating the pro-
sests filed against Senator Reed Smoot
being permitted to retain his seat and
decided that before taking any fur
Their steps in the matter Senator
Smoot should be given opportunity
to make reply to the charges.
Senator Burrows, chairman OF the
committee. was instructed to notify
Mr.. Smoot of the decision of the com
mittee and to request that whatever
reply he may desire to make shall be
in writing.
In addition to the innumerable petit
lions filed with the committee for the
expulsion of Mr.. Smoot two protests
from citizens of Utah were presented
and briefly considered by the commit
tee These protests charge Mr.. Smoot
with being a polygamist. They also
charge that the Mormon church, OF
which Smoot is an apostle, holds its
ewn laws to be superior to those OF
the state and they contend that the
church still stands for polygamy.

Gum Chewing.

"ro chew gum for five or ten min
utes after a meal is absolutely bene-
ficial," said physician, especially for
hasty eaters, who do not half masti-
cate their food, because the action of
the jaws causes the gastric juices to
flow, and that is good. But so few
people can use and not abuse it. They
get the gum in their mouths and keep
at it till they fairly dry up the saliva
supply, bring OH a headache and get
generally nervous. This will cause in

MARINES ARE LANDED
saaALL FORCE OF UNITED STATES
TROOPS PROCEED TO 18TH.
MAN FRONTIER.
Action is the Result Of unconfirmed
Reports That Colombian Soldiers
Had Disc nbarked South Of Panama
and Proposed Marching on That
city-steps Taken for the Formation
Of a Permanent Government.

Colon. Dec. 15.-A company Of ma
rines from the United States cruiser
Prairie was landed here Monday morn.
ing under the command of Captain
Smedley d. Butler. and Immediately
started by train for Panama. The
destination of the marines is to be Va.
VIA. up the San Miguel gulf. and
Tuira river.
It is believed that the decision OF
the naval authorities to station ma
rines at Yaviza may possibly be owing
to the reports that Colombian troops
have been sent in that direction. but
I'D to the present time there is no rea-
son to believe that any large force is
under orders to march on Panama from
Cauca.
The opinion seems to prevail that
the Colombian soldiers seen were
probably scouts who were endeavoring
to learn what preventive and protec-
tive measures were being taken by the
Republic of Panama and that it was
their presence which gave rise to the
exaggerated rumors of speedy at
tack by Colombia on the Jsthmus. 1t
is more likely that the movement OF
marines to Yaviza is in conformity
with the policy Of the naval authori-
ties to concentrate forces at points
which offer the best facilities for get
ting immediate information of any
movement by Colombian troops to
ward Panama and at the same time OF
affording the marines some relief
from their confinement to the ships.
The marines carried with them all
requisites for camp life. and also q
number of machine guns.
