President Roosevelt has sent let.
ter to Secretary of War Taft, order
ing the latter to proceed to Panama
to ally the alarm which exists among
the people of that republic at the
effect OF the Government established
in the canal strip by the United
States Commission.
In his letter. the President says 1t
is apparent that the people Of Pana-
ma fear an Independent community,
which shall injuriously affect their
business. Is to be established In the
canal zone.
This. according to the President
Is not thought of. He says: I'VE
have not the slightest intention of
establishing an independent colony
in the middle of the state of Panama
or OF exercising any greater govern
mental functions than are necessary
TO enable us to conveniently and safe
ly to construct, maintain and oper-
ate the canal. under the rights given
us by the treaty"
Secretary Tart Is authorized to
take with him, any and all persons
he chooses, and it Is probable that
his parry will be made up of repre-
sentatives of the canal commission
and members of the House and Sen
ate committees dealing with the
lsthmian affairs. The party will
likely leave Tor the isthmus on Nov

The matter OF the relations be.
tween the Governor and the Republic
has been under consideration for
three weeks. William Nelson Crom-
well, the attorney for the new Pana-
ma Canal Company, several days
ago came over from New York and
had a conference with the President
and told him that the course of Davis
would ruin the project. He said
that the friction had become so in
tense that heroic measures would
have to be taken to ameliorate con
ditions. else the United states would
find its only friends in Central and
South America joining Colombia in
her propaganda of hate against the
Yankee nation. Threats OF dynamit-
ing the canal have been made by
excited Panamans. when the Secre-
tary starts for Panama It. will be the

RUSSIANS GAIN ADVANTAGE
Penetrate Japanese Center and Com

Reports from Russian sources give
more hopeful view of the situation
of Gen. Kuropa' kin's army. Tlrat
commander has reoccupied and holds
the town of Shakhe. the possession
of which for several days was first
with one and then with the other of
the contending armies.
Reports from the Russian left
wing, Tor the safety of which there
had been much anxiety. are no later
than the night of october 10. II
had been fighting for two days for
possession of Tumin and Siatchoun
passes, important strategic points,
but up to the time of the sending of
the last dispatch the Japanese were
still in possession of the passes. In
order that this column may be able
to rejoin the main Russian army 1t
Is necessary that Gen. Kuropatkin
should hold the bridges over the Hun
river and the position he now occu'
pies on the Shakhe river.
There is no indication that the end
of the great battle Is at hand. Esti-
mates of the losses show wide

IRON BUSINESS REvIvlNo.
Prices Are Advancing.-S Rails
Particularly in Demand.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S "Weelly Review
of Trade" says: Trade reports are
more encouraging each week. while
the feeling Of optimism regarding the
future Is becoming general. With
its customary disposition to discount
commercial prosperity, wall street
has lifted the average price OF the
60 most active railway shares above
par for the first lime since May of
last year. Manufacturing plants
steadily increase output, particu
larly gratifying feature Of the week
being the large tonnage OF steel pur-
chased by the railways, and the ad-
vanced prices for pig iron suggest
that the depression in that industry
has run It's course. Textile mills
are doing more work, ship yards are
more fully engaged, and structural
work begins to assume normal pro
portions. Foreign trade for the last
week shows gain of $2,15S,275 in
imports over those of the same week
in 1903, but a loss of S1,1iS,275 in OK
ports. A few freight blockades have
occurred, and traffic ia very heavy
in some sections. while all railways
reporting for the first half of October
show an average gain of SO per
cent. over last years earnings. Re
vival of interest in finished steel and
practically all departments of the
iron industry has come so suddenly
as TO excite particular comment. al
though 1t is not surprising. consider
ing the enormous tonnage under con
sideration for so many months, held
back alone by the caution of buyers
who wanted to be certain that the
market would go no lower. This new
business is found in practically every
department, notably those pertain
ing To the railways. Hides have at
tanned a still stronger position. large
sales of branded cows and calfslins
giving holders the desired advance,
and there is a wholesome demand at
leading leather markets. Condi ions
are steadily growing more satislac-
tory al the woolen mills. Failures
this week numbered 2l5 in the United
States, against 279 last year, and 80
in Canada, compared with 26 year
ago.

That the situation On the isthmus

the news which came to Washington

government is entirely loyal
1t seems that there are Ger
tain disgruntled elements in
the isthmus, and in view OF the
ease with which revolutions are start

the official opinion here that the ma
rines should remain there for the pres
