Gives the Reasons, He Thinks, for the
Secession of Panama
General Reyes says that Panama
has become independent because the
government of the United States de-
sired it; because with its incomparably
superior force the United States pre-
vented the landing of Colombian
troops; because even before the sepa-
ratists movement was known in PO-
gotta the United States had its war
vessels at the entrance OF Colombian
ports. preventing the departure of Co
lOmbian battalions; because. without
regard to the precedent established by
statesmen who have dealt with this
matter. the United States has not re-
spected our rights in that strip of land
which Colombia considers as a divine
bequeSt for the innocent use of the
American family of states. and finally
because the government of the United
States, invoking and putting into prac-
tice the right of might, has taken
from us by blOOdless conquest. but by
conquest nevertheless. the most i'm
portant part of the national territory.
In this crisis of the life of my
country. as unlocked for as ii is terri
BILE Colombia rests its most comfort

Crude Drugs of Brazil.

A conspicuous feature of the rapidly
expanding trade between the Amazon
region and the United States is the
growth of the drug trade. Brazil pro-
duces a long list Of medicinal herbs,
roots, berries, beans, balsams and other
crude supplies for the manufacturing
chemist and perfumer. Many of these
are staple articles, and others are just
becoming known to the trade. Here
tofore not much Importance has been
attached to this line of exports. but
latterly manufacturers have turned
their attention to this region as a
source of crude supplies. With the
largely increased and growing demand
for these products local merchants
have become interested. and without
doubt this branch of trade will soon
develop into an important factor in
the exports from the Amazon region.

Influence of Automobiles.

One of the points Of interest in the
motor-car or automobile development
is the fact that there is tendency by
people who have fine country houses
for sale to advertise them in first-class
motor-car journals, the increase of
these advertisements indicating not
only that the class of periodicals men-
toned may become the natural medium
for such advertisements. but that the
facilities offered by up-to-date automo-
biles for travelling long distances
quickly and easily and without regard
to fixed time tables, increasing the ra-
dius Of a neighborhood and possibili-
ties of combining with country life a
command of city conveniences through
accessibility to them. are making coun-
try houses more valuable e.-Marshal

Aid For Japan From Korea.

Seoul.-The mayors of the various
Japanese settlements in Korea. at a
meeting in Chemulpo, have decided to
present a congratulatory address to
the Emperor of Japan. Resolutions
were passed that the settlements econ
omize ard contribute to the japanese
war fund.
The German steamer Amigo has ar
rived at Chemulpo with bullion from
the American mines at UnSan. 1t is
reported that the mint at Osaka has
guaranteed to supply monthly the spe-
cie necessary to insure the running OF
the British mines at Eunsan, contract
ing to take the total output. The wage
payments at the mines amount to
about $500 a month. The mint will
pay in gold the difference between the
mines output and the amounts ad-
vanced. The uninterrupted operation
of both the American mines at Unsan
and the British at Eunsan is assured
while the japanese are in control.

the words over his shoulder.
Married! Whew! That's a very

1.-Two or three million, believe. On,

But suppose the girl has sent him
away?"
"Then let her whistle him back and
see whether he won't come"
The girl glanced at the broad back
of the man before her, while her
shoulders quivered with silent mirth.
Then she puckered up her lips and de-
liberately emitted clear, soft whistle.
The effect was magical. Instantly
the chauffeur swung around in his
seat and faced her. Bessie" he ex-

eyes were dewy. "Of course I do,

He had sprung from the seat and
stood holding out his hands, the light
of love pleading in his eyes. won't
you go in with me, Bessie?" he asked
again.
For an instant the girl hesitated;
then she took the proffered hand.

Printed For Pleasure Only.

The little town of Eucla, which is the
junction of the South Australian and
West Australian telegraph systems,
has a newspaper of it's own, the first
number of the Eucla Recorder having
made its appearance last month. The
editor, in sending copy of his jour-
nal to an Adelaide contempory, says:
'The paper has been written and
printed, without any professional as
sistance, by the members of the South
Australia and West Australia Tele-
graph stats at Eucla. Until three
months ago 10 one engaged in its pro-
duction had seen printing press or
type letters, and the press we have is
one Of the smallest obtainable, with
which we can only print page at a
time. No pecuniary benefit is derived
by any person connected with the pub
lieation of the paper, the work being
done in order to promote good feeling
among the residents of Eucll, and to
assist in turning to account some Of
our spare hours. The total population
of Eucla is forty; this includes four
females and seven children, and we
hope we can lay claim to the position
Of being the smallest community in
Australia which prints and publishes
a paper entirely for pleasure. We are

st. Petersburg.-The crossing of the
Yalu River by the Japanese forces did
not impress the Russians, in view of
reports of ensuing Japanese reverse.
These reports caused an all-round rise
in prices on the Bourse. But so far
there has been no confirmation of them
officially.
The general staff believes that one Of
the Japanese columns while attempt
ing to cross the Yalu River at Turen-
chen suffered severe loss, owing to un-
expected shelling by Russian battery
from the opposite bank. which de-
stroyed the Japanese pontoons.
The japanese, the general staff says,
tried to cross the river at six or seven
different points, and succeeded only at
one point.
1t is said that the Car. replying to
viceroy AleXieff's application for leave
to retire from the Far East, has tele-

Mr.. Mccormick will probably allow

One Woman SuccumbS and Six Suffer
Had Been Eating Meat Ball.
Paterson, n. J.-One woman died and
six other persons are dangerously i'll
after eating meat vitiated by some
poisonous substance at dinner.
The dead woman is Mrs. Isabel Boyd,
ninety-two years old. Those at the
hospital are James Roy, fifty years old;
his daughter, Pauline. fifteen, and
Ernest Hancock, twenty-four. The
others were Mrs. James Roy and Miss
Lizzie Roy. All lived in No. 4S3 Gra-
ham avenue. Another woman. who
was visiting at the house, was also
taken i'll, but will recover.
In the opinion of the physicians, Drs.
Stewart and Todd, who were called.
the poison must have been an irritant
like arsenic rather than ptomaine, as
it took effect so quickly. The contents
:of the stomach of the dead woman
will be analyzed. An investigation is
being made by County Physician Nc
Bride and by the police.
