Washington, D. c., Oct. "a.
THE Panama Issue" the latest
brought forth by the democratic party
has fallen with dull thud.
Information which has come out
since Senator Culberson launched his
great sensation" In New York last
Thursday night reveals the fact that
the biggest and supposedly the best
issue framed up by the democratic
managers has turned out to be their
biggest mess.
The latest development is the posi-.
tive knowledge that the democratic
party has had secret agent in Pan
anna for the past several weeks trying
to arouse disturbance. The idea was
to have the disturbance come off about
the time Of Senator Culberon's speech.
The cipher messages of the secret
agent through some freak Of fate came
direct to the state department at
Washington. Consequently the Presi.
dent holds the proofs of the under.
handed work that was attempted
against him.
Clifford H. Smythe, who was Ameri
can consul at Cartagena, Columbia. in
the second Cleveland administration
is the agent of the democratic party
who has been doing detective work in
Panama. He made his appearance in
Panama In September, ostensibly tc
investigate the Panama situation fo,
a syndicate Of American newspapers
He was cordially received by ali the
American officials but let drop a feu

oeived some time ago from the Chess

tap from the new twenty-four-i inch
river main to run into their vaseline
plant, considerable distance away.
The commissioners came to no deci-
sion, but the clerk was instructed 90
request the company to send q repre-
sentative OF their committee meeting
next Tueday night. It was the general
opinion that the pressure would suffer
considerably il the requested tap were
made, and the point was brought out
that the plans for the main provided
for no taps south of Market street,
thus cutting out the requested conneo-
tion. The reduction in the pressure
from the present sixteenth main.
caused by the tap running into the
Raritan Copper Works, was also cited.
Commissioner Jensen held out for
allowing the tap to be made.
