The Inauguration Of DR.. Manuel Am.

Panama a few weeks ago marked the
climax Of the business revolution
which cost Colombia her richest prov.
ince and added a new state to the fam.
lily Of nations.
DR.. Manuel Amad0r, the first presi-
dent Of the new republic, IL seventy
years old, physician BY profession
and q native Of Cartagena, Colombia
He was one Of the leaders In the revo-
tionary movement which led to the In
dependence Of Panama last November,
and In fact to him more than to any Of
bis associates was due the success Of
the undertaking. The story of his
part In the revolution 10 as follows:
When on Oct. 81 Of last year the
Colombian congress adjourned without
ratifying the treaty with the United
States affairs had already progressed
rapidly on the isthmus. Seven men,
all interested for business reasons in
the construction Of the canal, had
about finished the work of organizing
a business revolution. They were
Tomas Arias. Arrange, Arosemena, DR..
Amador. Ricardo Arias, F. Boyd and
Obarrio. All had something OF a pc
cuniary interest at stake in the issue
and for the most part belonged to the
Conservative party, which IL at pres
ent In control Of Colombian affairs.
Feeling assured that they had the
sympathy Of the people Of the isthmus
In their undertaking, the committee
went ahead with its plans. There was
a battalion Of Colombian troops at
Panama. commanded by General Huer-
tas. who had long been stationed at
Panama. Huertas was won over by
the revolutionists.
1t had been planned to have the rev.
olution on the day following that on
which it actually occurred. The
scheme was to be sprung on Nov. 4 at
Panama. But on Nov. 3 the Cartagena
steamed into Colon with Generals To-
var and Amaya and $50 Colombian
troops on board. The news was tele-
graphed to Panama and created gen
eral CONSERVATION. DR.. Amador large

senatorial commission had left Alas
Sa last summer, voted in favor of
forming q territory. Said Mr.. SWINE
ford:
The great papers of the country ought
to take up the matter and make our cause
theirs Simple justice demands that some
relief be given us. We are being gov
erned outside of any constitutional re-
straint or limitation. Alaska is simply
the property of the United States and not
a territory.
1t has always been considered a part OF
our theory of government that where the
| flag of the country went the constitution
was soon to follow, but Alaska has been
a part of the domain for forty years and
no sign of the constitution has come to
us, and we are without voice in the
administration Of our own affairs we
are taxed heavily by license on all
branches of business, and every species
of industry is burdened by taxes. Alaska
has paid back in revenues $1,OOO,0O0 more
than the United States paid for the ter
ritory-and that was $1,000, 00O-and all
cost Of maintenance since.
There are from $4,000 to 100000 white
people in the vast territory known as
Alaska. and yet these people are not only
given no voice in the administration OF
the affairs of the country, but are given
no excuse for unusual acts of congress.

ernor of Alaska in 1885. He resigned
