eign bondholders has received a COM
nunication from Amsterdam saving
that the chamber of commerce there
will request the government of The
Netherlands not to recognize the re-
public of Panama until some arrange

the bonds are held in England and
Holland. The British foreign office has
replied to the Colombian bondholders'
request by assuring them of it's inter-

ELDON TICEIs ELECTED.
Manager Leach Won't Have Charge
of Washburn Football.

Today the students of Washburn
elected E5ldon Tice as manager of the
football team for next season, he being
the only candidate. It is usual to hold
the election subsequent to Thanksgiv-
ing, but it was held earlier this gear
so that there would be some one in a
position to enter into negotiations with
DR.. Bert Kennedy with view to re-
tanning him as coach of the team in
1904.
A committee composed of Prof. o. B.
Towne, Manager Tice and A. J. Boil
niger was appointed to consider the
question of revising the existing rules
SO. that a permanent director of ath-
letics can be secured for the college.
1t is greatly to be regretted that
Washburn did not retain Manager
Frank Leach in charge of next years
football team. Leach is one of the few
men in the history of the college who
has handled the team with real bust
ness ability and push. He is far too
valuable man in that position for the
college to let go of. 1t is understood
that Leach refused to undertake the
work another year without some finan-
cial consideration to compensate him
for his time. The college could afford
to pay him. He has brought the foot
ball team through the season with
good financial success. instead of piling
up deficit of nearly $1,000, as was
done last year.

Boston, Nov. 19.-The first business
of the Federation of Labor today was
the acceptance of an unfavorab1e re-
poyt on resolution that labor unionists

eighty of sister republics and to the
annexation of all the territory between
Mexico and the proposed canal. The

GOLD IMPORTS.

The movement of gold from Europe
to the United States may be explained
to some extent by the figures on the
foreign commerce of this country for
two months past.
In September the. exports of the
United States exceeded the imports by
about SOS. 000. 900. The balance of trade
in favor of the American republic was
rather small for an autumn month.
Imports were larger than usual. and
exports fell below the figures for the
corresponding part of last year.
But in October the change was ex-
traordinary. Imports were almost ex-
actly the same as in September. They
dropped nearly 100000 below the
figures for the corresponding month OF
1902, though exceeding the October
record for other years. But the ex-
ports were astonishing.
The gain over September was almost
$4,000. 900. October. 1902, was beaten

United States was over S7s.000.0 900. The
exports nearly doubled the imports. A
great change was made in the calendar

Cleveland Plain Dealer: The Demo-

It would be an modifying spectacle to

The Cleveland Leader has been COM
piIing some figures on the apple crop
Of the country with the following re-
suit:
The crop of apples, of salabIe quail
ty. in the United States this year is
reckoned at a little less than $4,000. 600
barrels. If apples somewhat inferior,
but still useful for making cider and
for other like purposes, were taken into
account the total would be we'll beyond
10000, 900 barrels.
That means something like 30,00O,000
900 apples. If the population of the
country is now S0,000,000 there have
been about 375 apples grown for every
mar. woman. and child in the United
States. That means an apple day, ev-
cry day in the year, for everyone, with
q few left over.

Santa Fe Train No. z to Go Through
Ottawa as Usual

There has been a rumor afoat during
the last few days to the effect that the
new Santa F'e time card which goes
into effect on the 18th of this month,
provides for another daily train through
Topeka. The train referred to is No. Z,
a westbound California train that goes
turns to the east by way of Topeka. If
the report was true both trains would
hereafter pass through Topeka.
Local officials of the road state, how
ever, that such is not the case. They
say that the matter was under consid-
Grafton for a short time but that the
project has been dropped and that the
new card will contain no changes with
the exception of the resumption of the
daily California Limited and several
changes in the time of local trains.
