ON FOREIGN GROUND.
Marines Establish q Camp Near
 & Panama

dudIuds
 COLON, Dec. o.--a ,lu companies of marines from the United States aux Hilary cruiser Dixie under command of Captain Wirt McCreary were landed here and have gone by train to Elm pire, town on the railroad near Pana- ma, where a camp has been established in the canal company's buildings The camp is now thoroughly fortified, and all necessary precautions from a sani-' tary standpoint to insure the health of the marines have been taken. The camp will be supplied with water from the Dixie pending the analysis of the drinking water available there. If this water should be found to be good the remainder of the 450 marines on board the Dixie will be transferred to the camp in patches of fifty.
 The stated official purpose of this movement is to give the marines prac- tfce in the building of camps and to relieve them from their long confine- ment on the vessel The actual pur- pose of the United States government in landing the marines is however, be- lieved to be connected with the precau- tionary measures now being carried out on both sides of the isthnus and perhaps also for the moral effect which the landing of the marines may have on the native garrison at Panama, the loyalty of which, though hitherto abso- lutely unswerving, has been question ed in some quarters, especially since the discovery of the plot against the life of General Huertas, commander in chief of the forces of the republic of Panama, and the alleged effort on the part of a few army officers to per- suade the garrison to revolt.
 1t is considered significant that the point selected for the encampment of the Dixie's marines, while 1t is the highest and most sanitary on the line of the Panama railroad, is also on the trail most frequently used in the past for the movement of troops overland from the Cauca district into the Chiri- qui district
 General Huertas is about to establish a small garrison of the troops of the new republic at Yaviza, town at the head of San Miguel bay, on the Pacific side of the isthmus.

 A report from Bogota says that the national electoral committee has an- nounced that it will not accept the res ignation of the presidency sent by Gen. eral Reyes from Barranquilla. The committee has proclaimed General Reyes as the unanimous choice for the presidency of Colombia and General Gonzales Valencia as the choice for the vice presidency. President Marroquin has cabled General Rafael Reyes at Washington that any negotiation pro- posed at Washington not based on the return of Panama will be useless and unacceptable to Colombia. A national integrity society on a large scale has been organized at Bogota, with 100000 active members, with the object of re- covering the isthlnus.

 Members Presented Their Ideas on Ad-

 Chicago, Dec 9.--Sidelights on ad veltising have been presented at the annual banquet of the Agate club where experts from various cities had been assembled by the advertis- ing representatives of Chicago news papers and magazines who compose the organization,
 Average mankind is guided-is the victim-of suggestions" said George E. Vincent, professor of sociology at the University of Chicago. You men have profound responsibility for you make the suggestions. I am glad 10 say that you do not wrongfully exer- cies the power" y ~.
 Albert A, Pope. president of the Pope Manufa curing Go of New York, gave the following suggestions: / Believe in something, tell the peo pie the truth and stick to it.
 Don't tell a man more than he will believe. Make him want what you advertise.
 Be careful in the selection of names. A good article often is spoiled by an injurious name"
 D. M. Lord of Chicago observed that man might as we'll expect to maintain steam boiler without coal as to attempt to continue a business created by advertising, after dropping the advertising.
 Charles H. Taylor. editor of the Boston Globe, defended the Sunday newspaper and the publication of stories of crime.
 "The Sunday newspaper has a place in literature he said. We could not do without it. A paper is printed for all classes of people and each class has right to the news that especially interests him. It is a mistaken idea to believe that murder stories either are wanted or sell a newspaper. Only those with an element of mystery or those of prominent persons are used. :"
 Lafayette Young, editor of the Des Moines Capitol. said:
 Advertising was necessary for the success of any business firm"

ABOUT APPROPRIATIONS

 A good deal of quiet work is being but ill i'll certain quarters with refer |ence Ito the annual appropriations (which the aldermen will meet to con ,Fider next Monday. lit is amusing how widely people differ upon these mat ters, some not appearing to care how .high the rate of taxatdon is made and others making bold stand to make f1he bills as small as possible It IS hoped that the aldermen will strike a happy medium between these two eN- Etremes. No matter how heavily the burden weighs upon the rate payers, Eelytain sums of money have to- pe raised, and it Is the height of folly for hnyone to take the ground that the publbc wbll get as good results rom very modest appropriations as nrom larger ones.
