TO Japan. Russia at that time con-
trolled the kurile islands, which
amounted to but little agriculturally.
commercially or any other way. The
ear. probably through superior diplO-
matte work succeeded in swapping the
kurile group for Japan's portion of the
Sagalien islands. This gave her GER
tain strategic advantage over Japan,
which, after the little brown men once
aWOke to the fact embittered them
greatly towards Russia. They claimed
that the big nation took advantage of
certain ignorance of diplomatic rela-
tons. and thereby secured the cOnces-
sion practically under false pretenses.
War talk was rife, and the people never
forgave Russias action in the premises.
From that time on Japan has quietly
been preparing to strike a blow at the
power of the great bear, and when the
time was ripe a few months ago the
nation promptly took advantage Of the
fact and summoned all her dislike to-
ward Russia to her assistance and went
at it much to RussiaS surprise.

Panama, r. P, Dec. 20.-With the
return of DR.. Manuel Amador from
Washington a more lively interest than
has hitherto been manifested in the fu-
ture of this freshly Matched republic
is being shown by those in positions
of power. The great body of the pop
ulace-that nondescript mass of hui
mainly which peoples the isthmus in
it's few inhabited spots-remains cal
lous and Indifferent to its suddenly ac-
quired political freedom. The leaders
of this mass-the men who incubated
the republic-are, however, moving
with unwonted energy and purpose.
They are exhibiting determination
not before displayed by them toward
getting the government they called
into being upon stable foundation.
With that object in view, they have
fixed Dec. 2S as the date for electing
delegates to a convention which shall
assemble here the middle of January
to frame constitution for the new ma
ton and to fix date for the holding
of an election to choose president and
members of the first republican con-
gress.
This very quick change in the atti-
tude of the Panamaian leaders is UNI
doubtedly due to representations
made by DR.. Amador since his return
to the isthmus after having in Wash
ha aanal treaty..
While DR.. Amador was in the states
the junta and all other governing ON
Gals were content to let the republic
drift. It was declared by these people
that. once the treaty was made effec-
tive. they cared little what came next;
they were willing to let matters take
their own course, and were averse 10
active efforts to substantially organ
ize a republican government.
AmadOr the Kingpin.
DIR. Amador's return has worked
complete change in this disposition. Al
though he has no official connection
with the government since his canal
treaty labors were completed, he is
to-day practically the whole govern
ment. The certainty that he will be
the first president of the republic has
caused the junta to turn over to him
the actual direction of affairs, and,
while he is to all intents and purposes
a private citizen, he is administering
the affairs of the republic as positive
ly as If he were the duly constituted
head o. the government.
The government centers in him alb
solutely, end it is stated upon au-
thority that to him, and to him alone
is attributable the fact that steps are
being taken to construct real gov
eminent, founded upon the consent OF
the people. He is said to have brought
communications from Washington, ana
to have transmitted them to Arrange
and his associates, to the effect that
while the United States stands ready
to preserve the political and territorial
integrity of this rev nation, 1t IN
sists that a real government he estab-
lished at once, and the present hig-
gledy-pigpledy affair be permitted 70

Inherently weak as the Panamaians
may be for the task of working out
their own salvation-and that they are
weak they do not deny-it will be seen
that the United States is destined to
throw about them such a cloak of pro-
lection that their failure will be well
nigh impossible. 1t might be more
laudable If they were strong and reliant

that must be done; but here in Pam
