The Manxof Simple Duty.

The machinery had come to a
sstandstill throughout a great mill.
dnsstead of a steady whirr of wheels
TIL sound of swiftly moving shafts
and the hum of belts, all was silent.

"a strange sound all at once; then
there was a hitch as the wheel went

1t will take an hour to repair the

An hour, during which all the

He was a cog in the machinery.
In a great steel foundry it was
the duty of one man to watch the

SITUATION LOOKS VERY SERIOUS

Washington, Nov. 5.-Advices were
received last night from the Isthmus
of Panama to the effect that a revolu-
ton was in progress and that inde-
%pendence had been proclaimed. Pres
ident Roosevelt at 9 o'clock sent for
Secretary Hay, Acting Secretary Of
the Navy Darling, Acting Secretary of
State Loomis and Rear Admiral Tay-
lor, chief of the bureau of navigation,
to come to the White House, whence,
after a conference lasting nearly two
hours, orders were dispatched to the
Dixie and the Atlanta, on the Atlantic
side, and to the Boston, on the Pacific
coast, to proceed with all possible
speed to isthmian waters to aid the
Nashville in protecting American in
terests and in
Maintaining a Free Transit
across the isthmus in accordance
with the treaty of 1876. Orders also
were sent to Rear Admiral Glass,
commanding the Pacific squadron,
consisting Of the Concord, Marblehead
and Wyoming, at Acapulco, to coal i'm
mediately and hold itself in readiness
to proceed OF a moments notice to
Panama. When the Baltimore reaches
San Domingo orders will be cabled to
her to go to the isthmus If the situa,
ton demands her presence.
The rejection of the Panama canal
treaty is generally supposed to be the
moving cause Of the revolution, but no
oficial information on this subject was
obtainable.
To the Associated Press, after the
conference, the statement was author
ICED that the sole purpose of the dis
patch of the vessels was the protection
Of American Interests
and the maintenance of open transit
of the isthmus. The most explicit in
structions were SEM to the American
consuls at Panama and Colon and to
the commander of the Dixie, who will
be in charge Of the vessels on the At
lantic side. to direct all their move
ments with this end in view.
The further statement was author
lied that the state department regards
the situation as serious, but that the
arrival of the Nashville and the imme-
date dispatch of the other vessels in
sures the protection of American in
terests. The dispatch received at the
navy department was as follows:
Gan uprising took place at Panama
to-day. independence was proclaimed.
The Colombian army and navy Off
GERS were made prisoners. A govern
ment was to be organized consisting of
three consuls and a cabinet. It is ru-
mored at Panama that a similar up
rising was to take place at Colon"
independence Proclaimed.
Panama, Nov. 5.-The independence
of the isthmus was proclaimed at 6
p. m. yesterday. A large and enthusi-
astic crowd of all political parties as
sembled and marched to the headQuar-
tiers of the government troops, where
Generals Tovar and Amaya, who ar
rived yesterday morning, were i'm
prisoned in the name of the republic
of Panama. The enthusiasm was i'm
mense, and at least 5000 of the men in
the gathering were armed. .,
The battalion of Colombian troops
at Panama favors the movement,
which is also thought to meet with the
approval of the officers of at least two
of the government transports now

Cal. If the ring is clear and I'M
mistakable, the trained workman
knows that all is right. On the
other hand, if the sound be dull
and cracked, he is sure there is a
broken wheel. It is his duty to
report this fact at once. Life de-
ponds upon the manner in which
he strikes those wheels.
Are such lives narrow, dwarfed
and weak? Civilization demands
from every man, in every place,
that he shall do his simple duty.
"Only a cog in a wheel" What
would the wheels be without the
cogs?-Steam-E Electric Magazine.
