REPUBLIC PERMANENT.
Such Is Washington's Belief
Junta'S Note Received.
lFRoM THE TRIBUNE RUREAr.1

Washington, Nov 5-The impression enter
tanned yesterday at the State Department that
the stability and permanency of the new re-
public Of Panama was probable has become al
most a conviction to-day. Such recent news as
has been received is Indicative of the firm grasp
Of the situation by the de facto government.
News reached the Navy Department this after
noon that the Nashville had again landed blue
Jackets but the immediate occasion OF their
landing is not known, beyond the general in
structions to its commander 10 maintain peace
and prevent bloodshed.
Preparations enable the United States to
protect American and foreign citizens and
the property of the Panama Railway Company
continue undated. Captain Chauncey Hum
phrey and Lieutenant Ernest Van d. Murphy,
who recently returned from the isthmus after
making comprehensive military and strategic
reconnaissance, held extended conference
with the Secretary Of the Navy to-day. and it is
not improbable that they viii return to Panama
at an early date.
The subject of carrying out the provisions Of
the treaty and protecting American interests
considered by the general staff Of the army
to-day, and this led to the that the
United States contemplated the early dispatch
OF troops TO the scene of the revolution There
is a considerable force at Chickamauga
which could be rapidly embarked at Savannah
or New-OreanS. but II is not probable that this
country will have to resort to any extreme
measure in order to protect It's interests. The
subject Of sending another one thousand ma
rines, IN addition to those already on their way
TO the isthmus. was discussed by marine Off
GERS and II will doubtless be regarded as Judi
ciOus to hold such a force in readiness for an
emergency. although present indications are
that such emergency will arise.
Following the cable dispatch received vester-
day asking If the United States would be willing
to formally recognize the new government OF
Panama. and which is understood to have been
sent by private citizens. the Panama Junta to-
day formally notified the State Department of
its existence The notification, which calls for
no immediate reply, caused favorable comment
on the tact Of the men now in charge of Pana-
ma affairs in refraining from so wording their
communication to compel this country either
TO reply or to appear to administer a slight to
the new born republic.
Numerous suggestions are being considered nv
the statesmen now rapidly gathering in Wash
ingtoD to the best method of establishing
friendly relations with the Republic of Panama
One of them is that the United States offer as
sistance and protection to Panama on condition.
that the junta embody in its constitution a
practical duplicate Of the Platt amendment
While this suggestion appears to have tho s1Tn-
port Of several prominent Republican statesmen
there is official intimation that the state
Department would consider the proposition ia
voraby.

CHIEF PURR0Y TO RESIGN

Latter Wants Reinstatement. Not
COmmisSiOnership.

Charles n. Purroy Chief Of the New-York
Fire Department, announced yesterday to sew
eral friends at Fire Headquarters that he would
resign in a few weeks. After his resignation he

ex-Chief Edward F. Croker is reinstated in his

pension Of a deputy chief
To Croker. it was reported yesterday, has been
offered the appointment of Fire Commissioner
by Murphy, to succeed Sturgis So sure is he
that he is TO be reinstated as chief that he has
refused the appointment. it is said.
Cookers application for peremptory writ of
mandamus 10 compel Commissioner Sturgis to
reinstate him is before the Court of APP
peals. and it is thought by his friends that it is
only short time-perhaps less than two months
before the court WIFI reverse the decision of
the Appellate Division, which reversed the de-
cision IN Special Sessions which granted the
writ
Croker has been close friend Of his counsel
John ]. Delany. for years. and has also been
especially friendly with NIayor-elect Mcclellan.
On good authority it is said that Delany is TO
succeed Corporation Counsel Rives, thus being
placed in a good position 10 further the interests
OF Croker.

OF this, his friends admit, he has a slim chance,
indeed with a Republican legislature at Albany.
Chief Purroy said yesterday. when announc-
ing that he would resign:
Il have had enough Of the Fire Department.
When l heard that Edward F. Croker was
spoken OF the next Commissioner 1 thought
it q good time to prepare to resign, and shall
do so very soon"
Croker does not want the Commissionership-
The salary is not much more than that Of the
Fire Chief, and Croker wants to get back into
harness a member of the uniformed force.
Ever since he was dismissed he has been pres
ent at every fire of any size; he could not keep
away. During this time he has always signed
every letter he has written. Edward +. Croker,
Chief or the New-York Fire Department"
Croker said yesterday:
Il am a fireman and / think ] Will never get
over being one. / am interested in the Fire
Department and its work to-day l have

work but I never realized how great was my
love for it. and how much I enjoyed il until

years and shall not be happy until am back

Purroy will not be alone in resigning. John
Burns and Frederick W. Gooderson, who were
promoted bv Commissioner Sturgis to be deputy
chiefs. have also determined to pass in their

Colon. Troops from Panama will doubtless take
charge of the city tomorrow.
The municipal council Of Colon has notified to
the provisional government at Panama its ad-
herence to the new republic.
u 1t was arranged yesterday that the govern
ment troops should withdraw to the outskirts of
the town. and they did so in the course of the
night This morning Colonel Torres marched
the troops to the centre OF the city, which
caused a landing Of American bluejackets this
morning.
Commander Hubbard of the Nashville stated
force if the government troops would return
to their camp, about mile from oClon on
Monkey HILL where they PASSED the night. Colo
mel Torres however. refused to return to Monkey

for the soldiers. and that it was necessary for
them to come to town.

tack the blueJackets. who were barricaded be-
hind bales OF cotton in front of the bank and of
the railroad building
The commander of the Nashville distributed
about fifty rifles to private citizens who. with
the bluejackets. guarded the barricades.
Much anxiety prevailed in all quarters here
this morning. and there was great commotion.

A Good Example for Other Judges.

Judge Chas. M. Cooke, for several
years Secretary of State, is presid-
ing over the present term of North
ampton Superior Court, having ex-
changed with Judge Justice.
One of the first cases to come be-
fore Judge Cooke last Monday was
one for carrying a pistol. The law
yers who had been hired and paid to
10 so, asked Judge Cooke to let the
man off by paying the costs in the
case. The Judge refused to do so.
remarking that he had not come here
simply to collect costs. He said ten
dollars and costs was the smallest
fine he imposed in such cases, and
when previous good character could
not be proven, both fine and jail sem
fence would be imposed

faithful in the discharge of their
duties, people would have more re-
apect for the law.-Roanoke- Chowan

The Presbyterian Synod Of North
Carolina.

The meeting of such a body as the
Presbyterian Synod, now holding its
sessions in Wilmington, is a matter
of general interest to our people here.
It is an interesting body, in itself, its
history, its character and the pur-
poses of it's annual meeting.
The synod represents thirty-fve
thousand members of the Presbyteri-
an church, and it's boundaries are
those of this State. This is a small
membership as compared with the
Methodist and Baptist churches.
But largely on account of its en-
phasis upon an educated ministry and
upon the necessity of education In
general, it is and has always been an
influential church. It controlled the
destiny of the university for many
years, by reason of the fact that its
presidents and professors, too, were
largely chosen from Presbyterian cir
Giles. Finally, it established a col
lege for its own young men-DaVld-
son-which is now at the highest
