cONFERREES MAKE NO PROGRESS.
Agreement on Panama Civil Bill in Doubt.


TFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU
Washington. April 25.-The conferrees on the
Panama Civil bill have had several conferences
but have made no progress toward an agree
ment. The House conferrees not only feel that
there is no occasion for reappropriatng the
100000 TO be paid to the Republic Of Pan
ANA. but have plainly asserted that they would
regard such reappropriation susceptible OF a
construction which would reflect on the Presi-
Dent, because Of his having negotiated with
Panama for the sale Of the canal zone. That
no such construction could be properly placed
on the Presidents action is the conviction OF
the House leaders and Of some prominent Sen
Rtors
With regard TO the assertion that legislation
must be enacted reducing the tax on circulation
secured by the Panama per cent bonds from
! 70 = per cent, the House conferrees say there
VIII be no occasion to sell such bonds before
Congress meets again, so there IS ample time for
that The Senate conferrees have thus far re-
trained from arguing on the details Of the propo-
sition and have asserted that the Senate bill
must be accepted IN full.
Unfortunately there is as q result OF the al
legged slight to Senator Morgan, no Democratic
Senator who might act peacenalOe- on the
committee. The difficulties Of the situation are
increased by the fact that Senator kittredge,
cha .stn Of the conference, IS the author Of the
poI OF the Senate bill which the House
cor as regard as most objectionable. and
nat = is unwilling TO recede on the points he
ref % eliminate after being advised TO do so
By enate leaders.

This new born hope is destined to be short lived. The Democrats may have family affairs to settle among themselves at Douglas. but when it comes time to face the com mon enemy they can be depended on to make one mark at the head of the ticket that has the sanction of a ma- jority of the Democrats in convention assembled.

THE COPPER QUEEN COMPANY AS AN ISSUE.

AS AN ISSUE.
 Word has come to the Review from Douglas that certain candidates for the nomination on the Democratic ticket, especially J. M. Sparks, who aspires to be supervisor of this coun- ty, is making his campaign as an anti-Copper Queen candidate. Just what Mir. Sparks means by such dec laration is not made clear. The Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company up to this time has never been an issue in any political campaign, either Democratic or Re publican. In the past this company has been content ta keep its hands off of political matters. and. as every employe of the company can testify, they have been left free to exercise their own political preferences as they saw fit. There has been no announce company regarding political matters in this county, and it is to be presum ed that the policy is to continue the same.
 The Review further understands that MT. Sparks has threatened to issue circulars attacking the Copper Queen company. and it has occurred to us to wonder what line of attack MT. Sparks would pursue. A circu- lar attacking the Copper Queen Com pany, it seems to us. would be piece of construction work which would be hard to formulate.
 For instance, the circular might at tack the Copper Queen Company on the following grounds:
 l. For giving preference to Ameri- can labor.
 2. For paying living wages
 3. For working it's employees short hours.
 f. For reducing freight rates on necessities.
 ,. For paying taxes on its railroad when it could have taken advantage of the exemption law.
 6. For building libraries and gym nasiums for pleasure of its employees.
 '. For a record extending over twenty years during which time the Copnor n5,oap Cop,papvy hos b,,i1t nm a reputation for honest. fair dealing with it's employees. which is heralded from one part of the United States to the other.
 Mr. Sparks might incorporate a few of the above mentioned points in his circular, but probably they would not answer the purpose desired.
 It is further reported that Mir. Sparks applied the epithet, Copper Queen peons.' to some of the Demo crats who were present at the mass meeting at Douglas, and who were employed by the Copper Queen com pany in various pursuits. The insult 
 was naturally resented. If men who earn their daily bread by the means of labor furnished by the Copper Queen Co are to be branded by Mir. Sparks as "peons" and 'tools.' then be is casting slurs at three thousand of the best citizens both at Douglas and Bisbee.
 It IS to be regretted that Mr. Sparks has seen fit to make the Copper Queen company an issue in the primary cleo tion a; Douglas. The Copper Queen company is asking for nothing at the hands of the Democratic party, or any other party, but if the issue is to be raised, then the Copper Queen peons" will yin In walk.
