THE currency OF the new Republic OF
Panama is un Tor discussion by the Pan
anna Car al Com ion, the President
and L. S. Minister 80 Panama, John
Barrett 1t is expected hat the conclu-
sions reached at the confer ccs will be
embodied in an official recomm "dation
to the Panama Congress no in
session, and if adopted will save til
United states several millions of
dollars ON the cost of the canal. eff
Panama adopts the recommendations
o. the President AID his advisers" said
Minister Barrett, in Washington, today,
"the currency of the republic will be
placed on a gold basis and the coinage
will correspond very nearly to that now
in U.S. in the Philippines. The pesos
and centayo pieces will probable be
adopted and as the republic has no
facilities for minting first class coins,
the United Stateswil probable under

the currency is of an unstable nature on
the Istfmus, labor conditions will be
unsettled aud contractors who bid for

Satolli S Secret.

The Baltimore American of today says :
"The true reason for Cardinal Satolli' s
visit to the United States has at last be-
come manifest. From a most authorita-
tive source it can be stated that ii is his
intention to endeavor to establish diplO-
matte relations between the Vatican at
Rome and the United States, with 4
nunclattre at Washington. In addi-
ton, it is believed that the former papal
legate TO this country counts upon Arch
bishop Ireland, OF St. Paul, and upon
Mgr. Dennis O'Connell, rector of the
Catholic University, TO aid aid him in
the enterprise, and in the event of sue
cess, it is said, Archbishop Ireland
would receive his long. coveted red hat
and Monsignor O'Connell would be
nominated as the first nuncio accredited
by the Vatican court to the United
States government. Going further into
the details of this very remarkable dis
closure, an eccieslastic high in the coun-
ellis of the Catholic hierarchy of the
United States has the following to say {:
If it succeeds the prestige attaching to
Satolli will be so great as materially to
strengthen his chances for the papacy,
for it is well-known that his power
elected Plus X, that he refused the
papal portfolio of State and that he is
the strongest man in the College Of
Cardinals. If it fails the plea Of no
official business cabled to America will
hold good.

Councilman in Jail.

As the result of his failure to answer
questions put to him by the grand jury
of the Hastings Court in Richmond yes
terday, Councilman John T. West now
occupies a cell in the city Jail, and there
is another councilmanic scandal on.
A few days ago the street committee
ended a long fight by awarding a
5000, 600 paving contract to the Asphalt
Brick and Tile Company, of Washing
ton. Its competitor was company
making a patented bitulithic paving.
On Saturday a number of anonymous
letters were circulated making accusa-
tons against councilmen and naming sew
eral, among them Mr. West The matter
was brought to the attention Of the grand
Jury, which convened in regular session
Yesterday. Mr.. West testified that he
had been offered 81, 800 to remain away
from the meeting at which the contract
was awarded. He refused TO disclose
the name of the man who offered the
money, and was for that reason commit
ted TO Jail by Judge Witt.

The Republican Ticket.

Chicago, June7 .-ROosevelt and Fair
banks is the way the republican ticket
will read, in the opinion Of Col. Harry
New, national committeeman from Indi-
ana and chairman Of the subcommittee
on'arrangements. "That is to say, said
Mr.. New, ''in the event Senator Fair
banks will accept the nomination for
second place, and it is said that be will. :"
"Up to date there arethree candidates Tor
Vice President whose names are prOmi-
.nenlly before the public" said Elmer
Dover, secretary of the national commit
tee. There are Fairbanks, Of Indiana,
Hit, of Illinois and Webster, of Ne.
braska. But there are likely to be some
other names presentedto the convention.
If it is true, as reported, that Senator
Fairbanks, will accept the nomination
he will likely prove the most formidable
candidate before the convention"

To FRAUD and cheating there seems
% no No end The Washington sealer

six out Of eight-fve dealers in ice cream
IN that city have been giving their Gus
toners the full standard measure and
has notified the delinquent dealers that
unless the full, fair measure Is IN use al
once they will be prosecuted to the full
extent OF the law. A man who Is rob-

WHEN Senator Fairbanks felt that he
had the field to himself he would nt'
allow the convention of his State to in
dorse him as a candidate for the Vice
Presidency. After Mr.. Hit reached the
point of admitting that he would like
the nomination the Indiana man began
to take interest in the matter. Since
the movement in favor of Speaker Can
non has become formidable, Mr.. Fair
banks has begun to tell his friends on
the State committee that he would be
willing to be nominated. The Philadel-
phia Record well says "When he
shall be a little more scared he VIII

DURING THE past twenty years many
things have occurred incidental to labor
troubles which have Mortified all good
people. but the last act, a terrible trag-
edy IN COLORADO, IN winch twelve miners
were blown into fragments and as many
Others horribly mutilated, has caused all
well. disposed persons to stand aghast at
the hOrrd resentment shown by some
members of labor organizations. The
details Of this m"dern horror were print
ed in Yesterdays Gazette and additional
facts in connection with it were publish
ed by this mornings papers, together
with the rioting and reign of terror
which has followed Many years ago
England was berated for her alleged
cruelty in blowing rebellious Sepoys
from the cannon's mouth in the war
between the States Greek fire was con-
demned and its use discontinued, while
in our day Russia and Japan are being
excoriated for resorting tofloating mines
in order to destroy each others ships.
Yet in a country at peace with all the
world men are found possessed Of sufi-
cient fendishness to hurl people into
eternity with an explosive more deadly
than Greek fire in order to vent their
wrath upon fellow-workmen. Surely
this dastardly act will be condemned by
thousands of orderly mechanics and
others who belong TO unions. The per-
petrators OF such an Outrage have much
for which to answer at the bar of
heaven even should they escape pun
ishment on earth. Like the deaf adder,
the appeals Of humanity fall upon dead
ears when attempts are made to reason
with them How long this state Of af-
fairs is to continue or to what extremes
it will be carried remains 20 be seen.

After a flight of more than $50
miles, during which time he twice
slipped from the grasp of the officers
on his trail, Ira D. Horton, the negro
wanted In Pendleton on a charge of
assault with a dangerous weapon with
intent to kill and rob, is under arrest
in Walla Walla. He was taken by
City Marshal Alvah Brown last night
as he left the Pendleton freight train,
upon which he was stealing ride.
Deputy Sheriff C. p. Davis, of the To-
cal office, went to Walla Walla this
morning to secure the prisoner.
Horton attacked with a razor and
dangerously wounded Edward Leroy,
his colored employer. at an early hour
Tuesday morning. He made his es-
cape In the darkness, before the po-
lice arrived. When next heard from
he was beating his way into La
Grande on an eastbound passenger
train. Night Watchman Wade of
that city attempted to arrest the des-
perado and fired five shots at him, but
the negro escaped in the darkness.
Deputy Sheriff Mclaughlin of
Union county, discovered Horton in a
freight car at Telocaset. small sta
tion west of North Powder. The Off
GER sealed the car. intending to arrest
the negro when he reached North
Powder. but when that station was
reached it was discovered that Hor-
ton had cut a hole in the car door,
broken the seal and escaped. He was
not heard from again until he ran
afoul of the Walla Walla police. II
is presumed he came into Pendleton
early yesterday morning aboard of a
freight train. lay In hiding until night
and then caught the freight to Walla
walIa.
Horton is said to have served a
term in the Washington state peniten.
tiary for robbery committed in Taco
ma. His mother resides I'm the Sount
City. and he was evidently trying tc
reach her when apprehended.

tending physician is hopeful of his ne
covery. The patient does not believ,
Horton succeeded in carrying ava,
anything from the house after the at
tack. Assault with a dangerous
weapon with intent to kill or rob Il
punishable by Imprisonment in th'
state penitentiary for not more thar
10 years. Where robbery follows the
assault the punishment is not less
than five. nor more than 20 years i'm
prisonment.

AGAINST HUME's MEMORY.
Seattle Church Members Object to
open Town Record of Ex-Mayor.

Fifteen church members, most of
them clergymen, last night filed with
the council protest against the pro-
posed dedication of the square at
Fifth and Cedar streets to the late
Thomas j. Humes. says the Seattle
Star Among them were A. S. Allen,
secretary of the Y. M. c. A.; Rev. ].
Cairns. of the Fremont Baptist
church: Rev. j. NJ. Weaver, of the
Kirkland Congregational church; Rev
owen Jones, assistant pastor of the
First Presbyterian church; Rev. w. A.
Spalding, of the United Presbyterian
church; F. H. Luecke, H. F. Gould
and F. M. Slater.
The councilmen looked upon the
remonstrance as an aspersion to the
memory of the dead mayor, tabling
the protest before it was read. Later
they directly rebuked the churchmen,
by passing resolutions revering the
memory of the former chief executive
and calling attention to the fact that
six years of his administration were
the greatest I'm the history of the city.
The clergymen said they had no CEN
sure for Judge Hume's character. but
of his official record.
They spoke as follows: ~"
our contention is that Mr.. Humes'
public reputation is based upon his
frankly avowed. well known and re-
lentlessly carried out policy with re-
gard to certain forms of vice-com-
monty known as the wide-open policy.
I'VE believe that policy was essen
TALLY wrong In principle and unwise
in policy.
I'VE think the future historians of
our city will slightly designate the
wide-open policy for which Mr..
Humes consistently. stood. a black
stain upon our civic life.
"And we believe 1t is unwise for
the municipality to commemorate the
public services of Mr. Humes. be-
cause his name is inseparaby and
rightly associated in the public
thought with a policy which more
than any other has brought discredit
upon our city,"

Have You a Friend Afflicted With
Asthma?

Frank IS. Archibald, of West
Swanzey, N. H., writes: For the
past five years I have suffered
with Asthma almost constantly.
I was so nervous at times I could
hardly remain in my school. This
disease coupled with the nervous
strain to which teachers are al
ways subjected, made life almost
unbearable. During a visit to my
home IN Hinsdale, Mr.. Ham, a
local druggist, called my atten-
ton to your White Wine of Tar
Syrup. At ffrstI was skeptical
as hadtried altaosterery thing
with no permanent help. Finally
[ took home a bottle and the cure
it effected seems almost miracu-
lous to me after my former re-
peated disappointments.
[ want to recommend yonr
remedy to everyone who has been
afflicted as / was for over five
years and I shall be glad to reply
to enquiries regarding my case.
