would not plunge too deeply upon bonn

nation for the benefit of those who they
would expect big things OF in the nat
i,nal campaign
Wnen Taggart's estimates are exa1n-

forced 10 rive up all hope. The cleo

This shows that in any possible event
the only way Parker could be elected
would be IN a landslide and Us the
Democrats and Republicans alike know
here i not the slightest possibility Of
-uch i thing. Plain everyday sound
4efa confirms the trtrtllfulness OF this.
In faa.t a landslide would be practically
/, nolitic.il miracle and the man Of
average intelligence rs well as those
who ire stepped in political wisdom are
not anticipating miracles in these days
Of grace.
Now il is plain to see that TINS utter
hopelessness OF the situation has Kept
tlle Democratic national committee from
Keeping the campaign going. This =
the cause of the inactivity and desue-
tude in the campaign that have occas-
tened such Vehement protest by Demo
cratic newspapers an over she country.
.rrhe Democrats were hooking forward
hopefully for a political revolution
When. however. they say that there
were not even the faintest Indication Of
nm approaching revolution they We're
compelled by force Of sound reasoning
Is throw up their hands
The people do not want any expert
mental government. They know how
ven how safely and how caPably the
government has been conducted during
the past several years. They know
what the Republican party is and they
DO not know what the Democratic party
would do If put in power. Tney viii

PANAMA TSCUSTOMSDUTY
UNITED STATES AND PANAMA
AGREE TO TREATY.
Panama Agrees to Reduce Her Tariff
Five Per Cent, Also Consular Fees
Free Trade Between the Two
Countries on Canal Zone-cana,
Ports Are Free.

Panama.-The differences between
the United States and Panama which
made necessary the visit of Secretary
OF War Taft to the isthmus. have
been settled by the issuance of an
executive order, signed by Secretary
Taft for President Roosevelt and as.
scented to in a letter by President
Amador of Panama.
The order provides that no trade
for the canal zone or the republic of
Panama can enter the ports estab-
lished by the United States at either
end of the canal, supplies for the con-
struction of the canal and articles In
transit being excepted This turns the
customs receipts of these ports over
to the government of Panama.
Panama agrees to reduce her tariff
from 10 per cent ad valorem to 10
per cent. This reduction applies to
all goods except wines, liquors, alcohol!
and opium. Panama also agrees to re.
duce her consular fees and port
charges to so per cent of the rates at
present charged. Absolute free trade
is to apply between the canal zone and
the republic of Panama. Vessels en-
tering the canal ports are granted
! free entry to the ports of Colon and
Panama, and vessels entering the lat
ter ports are extended the same privi-
| leges in the canal ports.
Complete jurisdiction Is granted the
United States in the harbors OF Colon
and Panama as to sanitation and quar-
antine regulations.
Panama reduces her rate of postage
to 2 cents, and is to furnish all stamps
in the public and in the canal zone
The zone authorities are to purchase
stamps from Panama at 40 per cent
of their face value.
| The order of Secretary Taft is to
be ineffective unless Panama shall put
into effect the gold standard accord
ing to the currency agreement of
June 20, 1904. 1t also makes a stipu-
lation regarding citizenship rights to
Panama in the canal zone and provis
ion is also made in the order for main
tenance by the United States of i'm
portant highways partly in and part
ly out of the canal zone, and also fol
the building of a hospital.

CAT AS CAUSE OF ASTHMA.
Smell of Flowers and Scents Also
Bring Disease.

London.-Some astonishing details
as to causes of asthma are given in
the December number of Practitioner.
In one case asthma was brought on
by contiguity to cut flowers, in an
other by the smell of cheap scents and
In the third by that of sulphur match
es. In another case a medical man
always found himself attacked by
asthma when he visited house where
there was a cat, and did not finally
recover until the cat died. Other In
stances are given in which pigeons,
canaries and thrushes caused asthma
to owners, and one in which the NAL
ady was always brought on by the
smell of horses.

TRAVERSE OCEAN UNDER WATER
New Submarine Boat Planned by Mr.
Simon Lake.

A keel has been laid at the ship
yards in Newport News for a new
and larger lake submarine boat, in
which the inventor, Simon Lake, ex-
poets to make a trip across the At
lantic under her own power, in an eff
fort to demonstrate her seaworthi-
ness. The new vessel will be 8S feet
long and proportionately larger IN
every way. She will carry four tor
pedo tubes, 10 torpedoes, and without
assistance will have cruising radius
of 1000 miles.
This will be the first submarine
boat of any class to attempt to cross
the ocean," said Lake. There is no
reason, however, why she should not
cross in safety. Ordinary torpedo
boats have made the voyage without
inconvenience, and the craft we are
now having built will be more sea-
worthy than any torpedo boat ever
built"

nit that the fight has been lost. 1t Is
