Labor Troubles on the Isthmus.
The labor troubles on the Isthmus of
Panama growing out of the strike of the
employees of the Panama Railroad Com
paEy have taken serious turn, and the
facts have been reported to the State De-
parfment here by the United States charge
at Panama. The matter was deemed of
sufhcient importance to warrant considera-
ton at length at the cabinet meeting to-
DAY, for the conditions are peculiar. and
tne unanimous opinion was that everything
possible should be done to avoid an en-
tansiement OF the United States govern
ment In any labor controversy. But 1t was
also determined that the government would
not withhold in any degree the protection
to the Panama railroad which 1t has as
sumed by treaty: So 1t was decided that
tt~Af S~N u opCity, iOlliflB Stpch
and terminals would be protected by forces

isthmus II that should be necessary, bu.
that there should be no, compulsion exer-
cised against the strikers to compel them
TO return to work. If the railroad mar.
agement can secure a sufficient force Of
rallroad hands to operate the road they
VIII be; upheld in such an attempt. OF
course that will be done with the full von-
sent OF the Panama government, though
urder broad treaty provisions that is not
absolutely necessary.
Secretary Moody was accordingly charged
with the duty of carrying out that de-
cision and with instructing Admiral Glass
and Admiral Sigsbee as to the course they
shall pursue.
There is an ample naval force on the
isthmus for any emergency. The senior
officer Is Admiral Glass. who Is or the
Panama side with his flagship New York
and the Marblehead. Bennington, Boston.

while on the gulf side is Admiral Sigsbee

Port Arthur says: All the English engineers
and workmen who had been engaged In
making repairs on battle ships damaged by
the Japanese have been put out OF Port
Arthur in conformity with an order recent
ly issued by General Stoessel, expelling all
foreigners.
1t Is believed this action of General Stoes-

some of the damaged Russian warships Is
hopeless, and that nothing can be gained
by keeping British workmen employed.

CITY OF MADRID IN COS.
There Was Plenty Of Excitement Fur
nished TO Foreigners in
Those Times.

On the pretext that a disturbance
was imminent, Narvaez. the queens
favorite minister, would shoot down
unoffending Madridlenos in the streets
like rabbits, and the plaster lions be-
fore the congreso would become lit
tie more battered. says the Fort
nightly Review.
On April 10, 1865. what was subse-
quently known as "the massacre OF
San Daniel" took place. on the occa-
sion of the students of the university
having dared to ask leave to serenade
a popular rector who had been turned
out OF Office, as they considered, I'M
justly.
Some idea of the ordinary excite
ments OF Madrid life at that time we
realized, when, after one of these in
Vulnerable affairs, our old majordomo
quietly informed us that during the
shooting In the street. Gonzales Bravo
the hated lieutenant OF Narvaez-
had been afraid that the people we're
going to win, and he had had a hid
INK place IUdut III lLC wall VI Ms hAh
ing-room during the night, covered by
a large bureau.
Our fat happened to be the next
above that occupied by Bravo, and the
windows looked into small patio"
commanding a view Of these opera
tons
II seems the old butler had spent the
whole night in watching, and ex-
pressed the keerest regret that the
disturbance had been, as usual, put
down by unlimited shooting. and he
had lost the opportunity, for which
he had been holding, of handing the
minister over to the mob.
"They would have torn him limb
from limb" he remarked, as he was
quietly serving the wine at our dinner
table.
AS the catastrophe would have taken
place under our very eyes, we were
constrained to rejoice that Gonzales
Bravo had escaped that time.

OLD NEcKwEAR REMoDELED
Novel indianapolis Industry That Is
Becoming One Of Some
Importance.

This is an age Of repodeling 1t seems
that anything from hatpin to brown
stone front can be made over. The
latest article TO fall prominently into the
hands OF the Tenoyator Is the necktie. II
Is nog no longer necessary for dealer
to carry a stock Of old, unstable neck
wear. He can have his ancient stock
OF neckties made into the latest fashions
and they can easily be unloaded on the
public.
II one looks over the list Of Indianapo-
lis industries he will find about every
kind Of enterprise represented here
says the Star Making over neckties
has not been left out, although the fac.
tory has been here but a few years. A
firm which now engages in this business
Is located on South Alabama street.
Last year this firm turned out 10000
dozen neckties. all Of which were made
from old stock.
The neckwear remodeling factory Is
a salvation to the dealer, who stocks up
with fine line Of imperial pun, wind
sor string and stock ties. These ties
soon grow old, and he cannot sell them
at profit. Formerly he reduced the
price on them, and thus they were sold,
but now he gathers them all together
and ships them to the remodeler. Here
they are made into bow ties, which can
be sold at any time of the year.
Amy ordinary tie, when cut up, will
make several bow ties. The number Of
bows which can be made from other
ties varies from three to twelve. The
remodeler charges the dealer but one
dollar for making dozen bows and the
dealer retailing the made-over neck
tie gets rs cents for IT, His profits are
good and he thanks the man who gave
birth to the idea Of making over old
neckwear.
Nearly all bow neckties are now made
from the old stock OF other neekties.
The process Of making over tie is in
teresting. II requires seven girls TO
make over one bow The old tie goes TO
a girl to be pressed. 1t then goes to the
marker and then TO the cutter. After
being cut the pieces go to a girl who
sews the bags and points. These are
taken TO the bow maker Then the bow
is handed to the shield sewer, who. after
finishing her work, gives II to the as
sorter, who trims and gets 1t ready for
shipment During the busy season Of
the year the local factory employs so
girls at this work.
Seeing an itinerant hat remodeler at
work suggested 10 the founders OF the
local tie-remodeling factory the possible
tiles in the business of making over
ties and small concern was started
which developed into a company which
now has wide trade.
