ARRESTS CAUSE
PANIC AT PANAMA

Panama, Colombia. July 26-Not
since the days of the last revolution,
when an attack upon the city by the
Liberals was feared, has there been
such a panic in Panama as occurred
last night Shortly after 9 o'clock the
Office of Ell Lapiz, the organ of the Lib
eral party on the isthums. was visited
by officers of the general staff of the
army, who destroyed yesterdays edi-
tion of the newspaper. One of the di-
rector was slightly wounded, but
managed to escape.
The news spread rapidly. In the San
ia Anas neighborhood, where most of
the Liberals reside, sentiment rose to
a high pitch and a few of the promi
nent people counselled retaliation.
They took no action. however.
The next event came like bomb
shell. A company of soldiers, appar
emily under the orders of General
Vasquez Cobos, commander Of the ma
tlonal forces surrounded the residence
of Governor Nuts, but the governor
and his wife, who is an American wom
an, having been warned a few min
utes before the arrival Of the troops,
succeeded in escaping.
General Huertas, commander OF the
battalion of Colombia, when he learned
of the FL Lapiz incident, repaired to
headquarters, where he found General
Cobos. According to current reports,
the latter ordered General Huertas to
remain in quarters.
Exactly what has taken place Is un-
known, but it is said that DR.. Aristides

Fernandino Arrange. chief of police and
Etram Navn, member of the depart
ment superior tribunal Of justice, are
under arrest. the last named for trying
to argue with General Cobos on the le-

The scene in the chapel was most re-
markably effective. The bier bearing
the body was received by Cardinal
Oreglia. 1t was placed in the center
backed by an altar with a beautiful
image of the Madonna, before which
were burning four immense candles in
silver staffs. Around the two sides Of
the chapel, in the choir seats were thir-
ty-six cardinals.

the bowed figure of Oreglia, the strong

of the Americas cup. 1t was also de-
cided to discontinue the trial races
Messrs. Morgan of the Columbia and
Belmont of the Constitution were per-
fectly satisfied with the choice of the
committee. They are both of the opin-
ion that the Reliance is the fastest of
the trio. From the showing of the
three boats during the season, the Re
lance is fairly entitled to be the de-
Tending vessel. In every race she has
crossed the line ahead, and has lost

the Columbia followed a couple of sec

stretch of water that separated her

UNITED STATES LEADS WHOLE
WORLD IN AMOUNT OF EXPORTS

Washington. July %. - That the
United States probably leads the world
in exports is shown by statement
presented by the Department of Com
merce and Labor through its bureau
OF statistics. During the year ending
June 80, 1903. the total exports of the
United States amounted to 1892 ,OS7.-
872.
In few exceptional cases the fig
ures presented are those of not only
domestic products. but include foreign
and colonial products re-exported, but
this Is only the case in a few OF the
smaller countries, which do not show
their domestic exports separately from
the local exports. and in these cases
the share which foreign products re-
exported forms OF the total is so small
as not to materially affect the state

has followed their progress through
Ireland. The city was elaborately dec
GRATED and thronged, and the streets
were lined by 10000 troops, 1000 blue
jackets and 5000 police. The lord
mayor and corporation awaited their

The King in reply said his highest
ambition was to follow in the foot
steps of his mother and make the we'll
being of his people, the prosperity OF
Ireland and the maintenance Of the
peace of all nations his constant aim

E. o. Ringer and E. P. Young, a local
miner, returned yesterday from Wau-
nita and report that townsite survey
was begun yesterday and that the new
town would be known as Nugget City.
Mr.. Ringer stated that already more
than 1900 people were on the ground
and that stakes. were being planted
with great rapidity.
A letter received to-day from F.
Dunn, who owns a half interest in the
Bowerman strike. denies the report
that he had sold his interest to Chica-

that deal is on. and in all probability
before the week ends a one-half in

A study of this table shows that the
United States, which occupied fourth
place in the list of exporting countries
in 1870, now shows larger total in
the final column, which represents the
latest available year, than does any
other country in the world.
The United Kingdom, France and
Germany showed in 1870 larger total
of domestic exports than did the Unit
ed States. BY 1880 the domestic ex-
ports OF the United States exceeded
those of France and Germany. but
we're still below those Of the United
Kingdom The United States In 1880
occupied similar relation.
In 1902, the latest available year for
which the figures of the United King

large section of land near Houston,

cultivation of rice next year Already a
tourishing Japanese colony is estab-
lished in the neighborhood of Point
Lavaca. There are enormous districts
of land in Louisiana and Texas eycep-
tionally adapted to the growing Of
rice, for success in which a richness of
soil is of less account than an abund-
ance Of water. These districts have now
attracted the knowing eye of the most
experienced rice planters in the world.
and it is the superior japanese seed
that has yielded the great crops in the
region of reclaimed land around about

ment with rice until the past decade.

There will be no extra session OF the

call an extra session if the leaders of

agree upon bill which they would
support. They having failed to do this
he shifts the blame Of the failure upon
them. He is quoted as saying:
Il have refrained from expressing
myself on the question before, because

ly in earnest or that an effort would

no doubt be criticised severely. but

have done right"

B1sBEE CARPENTERS ORGANIZE.

The carpenters have organized them- selves into union. Last night at the L. Se O. restaurant a meeting was held at which J. Lebar presided. The men will make a demand for an eight-hour day at the present scale Of wages. $4 per day. They are now working nine hours. but on and after October 1 will demand that only eight hours be re- qured of them for a days work. At last nights meeting it was voted to ask for charter from the Carpenters and Joiners of America. It is not expected that this will arrive before the middle of October. One of those who was present at the meeting last night stated that the men would con- tinue to work on all contracts which have been started or are started be- fore October 1. The employees of the Copper Queen company are not among those who swelled the ranks of tha unionists. and the union will not reach to that company. It includes only men who are employed by the con tractors of the city.-Bisbee Review.
