During the excitement caused by the
revolution on the Isthmus on Wednesday
Blue Jackets We're landed from the
United States gunboat Nashville to pro-
tect the lives Of Americans and their
property. The men formed barricades
with bales of cotton on the top of freight
cars. Order was restored early in the
evening. and the Blue Jackets returned
aboard the Nashville. Several Americans
and other foreigners took refuge on a Ger
man steamer. The city of Panama is now
in the hands of the reVolutionstS, and no
serious attempt has been made to recap
ture it, The Colombian gunboat Bogota
threw a few shells into the city without
doing serious damage.
The movement for independence has
been in progress since the rejection by the
congress at Bogota of the Hay Heron
canal treaty, but the elimination was
due to the news of the unexpected arrival
at Colon of the Colombian gunboat,
Cartagepa. with Generals Tobar and An
maya and number of troops story
has been sent out from New York to the
effect that the revolution was plotted in
that city by five prominent citizens in
Panama, who had been there the past
month.
The French consul has telegraphed to
Paris that the American naval forces
and the railroad company officials have
given some assistance to the revolutionary
element in Colon. The feeling is growing
in French official circles that the revolu-
ton is likely to result benefcally for the
canal.

for Textile Industry.

for Textile Industry.
Boston. Aug. Ain cotton manutac-
turing circles in this city il Is expect
ed that more thar 100000 s%pindies
will be idle throughout the north dur
ing the month OF. August, due mainly
to the high prices in the cotton mar
ket and the hesitancy of purchasers
of goods to agree to any marked ad-
vance while any of the. raw material
purchased before the rise remains In
s~torehouses.
Attempts have been made to induce
all cotton manufacturers to enter a
general agreement to shut down for a
stated period or on certain days OF
each week, but owing to the large
number of unfinished contracts an
iron-clad agreement is deemed mex
pedient at this time.
Conditions in the cotton market have
caused much inconvenience in q
River, the textile center of North
America. About one-th:rd of the 10000
operatives there have been idle this
week, and Of 5000, 900 spindles 10000
will not be working next week. The
mills in several New England textile
cities will shut down for two weeks.
There is a confident feeling in some
cotton mill circles that after September
is we'll advanced a general improve
rnent in market conditions will occur.

NET Is interesting from many points OF
view. In the first place, 1t marks unmis-
takahly the great increase in Jewish in
hnence on American politics. In the sec
ond place, the incident threatens to in
crease the growing cleavage between the
pubic opinion of Russia, or rather OF the
Russian bureaucracy. and America. Fur
a hundred years there has been an i'm
preston in the United States that the
Russian empire and the government OF
the great republic, owing, az we have
sald before, TO the vastness Of their ter
ritol1es and something indefinite in the
possible grandeur OF their futures, we're
pound to be allies. Recently, however.
the friendship. always perhaps more an
