JACKSON, Miss, Nov. 1.-The state
of Mississippi has struck the bottom
of the metal tub. Yesterday at one
time the actual cash in the treasury
was only $2.l0, but during the day
ST., 900 was received on account of the
sale Of a lot of the states cotton, and
when time to close the vault arrived
the balance was S25. The officials are
very much encouraged to believe that
they will be able to pull through, how
ever, because of the sale of cotton and
the receipt OF taxes, but the fact re.
mains that when Governor Ward am an
shall have assumed the reins of gov
ernment in J anuary next, he will be
square up against financial propo-
sition that will require his very best
efforts to solve.

REPUBLIC OF PANAMA.
Revolution Said to be Caused by ReJec'
ton Of the Canal Treaty.

PANAMA., Nov. 4.-The indepen'
dence of the isthmus was proclaimed
at 6 O. clock p. m. yesterd ay. a large
and enthusiastic crowd Of all political
parties armed and marched TO the
headqu arters of the government
troops, where Governors Tovar and
Amaya were imprisoned in the name
of the republic. The enthusiasm was
immense and at least 5000 men in the
gathering were armed.
The cause of the revolution may be
briefly summed up as being the result
OF the action of the congress OF Colon.
bia at Bogota in rejecting the Hay
Herran can al treaty. Panamaians are
almost to man in favor of the con.
struction of the canal by the United
States, and it has repeatedly been
prophesied before and after the meet
ing of congress that Panama would
secede if the treaty was rejected, and
would probably come to terms with
the United States for the building of
the great isthmian waterway.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The United
States government this morning re-
ceived a cablegram from Panama re-
questing thai it recognize the new gov
ernment. The officials here as yet are
in ignorance as to what this new gov
ernment consists of and have taken
no action upon the request.
United States Consul Ehrman at Fan.
ANA cables the state department that
the Colombian warship Bogota is
shelling the city. Mr.. Ehrman has
been instructed to protest against the
BON bardment. If the consul's protest
is not sufficient the commander of the
United States gunboat Boston will
probably seize the Colombian gunboat
if necessary to stop the BON bardment.

This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neigh borhood.
One of the most terri bic things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by a whoop from one of
the children. The Group remedies are
almost as sure to be lost, in case of
Group. as a revolver is sure to be lost
in case of burgl lars. There used to be
an Old-fashiOned remedy for crouD,

does not cost SO much. 1t causes the
patient to throw up the phleg1n"

the croupy cough appears and it will
prevent the attack. 1t never fails and
is pleasant and safe to take. For sale

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

Tn this place the ether day was an echo, pernaps somewhat strenuous, of the gen. erai plan for more room for the govern ment service in Washington, where in- terest on $11,000,000 is yearly expended in rents to private individuals for room in Wnlch 10 transact the peoples business.
 In this relation, it Is of wide interest 10 note that in the entire country there are but Go p0stofffccs in buildings owned by the government. Of these, four are In Alabama-Birmingha Huntsville, Mo bile and Montgomery; though there is a government building in course of erec- tion in Anhiston, and the money has been appropriated for one in Selma, to cost s76,000.
 It will perhaps surprise the average newspaper reader to be made aware that out of the grand total of 4,g90 Presidential postomceS in the country, only 2S0 are in buildings owned by the government. Talk ing into account this astonishing fact, and considering the quarters hired for courts and for the various other official services. 1t is conservatively estimated that the government is paying rents to private property good interest on the vast sum of $150, ,000, ,0O0-enough, 1t is said, to provide worthy building in every Presi- dential postoffice town in America, having regard to the immediate and prospective needs of each according to merit
 As 1t ia, in almost every town of Presi- dential postoffice rank, the quarters ob- tainable by the government are made quate and unsatisfactory. Montgomeri- ans themselves we'll remember how il was in that city before Congressman Hill ary A. Herbert succeeded In inducing Congress to vote the money for the pres ent building there, which is now to be enlarged at the instances of Congress- man Wiley, some fifteen years after ii was built.
