PANAMA'S WAR AGAINST
 GAMBLING AND GAMBLERS
Gigantic Gaming Institution, the Loteria de Panama Accepts the Challenge and Will Carry
 Case Into the Courts.

Aneon. Canal Zone. Oct. f2s, isot.-- When in framing laws for the govern
 ment of the Canal Zone. the Isthmian Commission enacted one prohibiting gambling. and providing for the sup pression of lotteries anywhere on the strip, the gauntlet was thrown down to one of the largest and strongest gaming institutions in the Western world. the Panama Lottery, or as 1t Is locally known, "Loteria de Panama.
 The challenge thus extended was &C., cepted on the first opportunity which occurred last week in the arrest of sev- eral lottery sellers who were caught peddling tickets on the forbidden ground. These arrests formed the basis for test cases, and the $i,oO0 bond exacted in each instance was cheerfuiiy furnished by the lottery company. They propose carrying the matter to the highest court. and the line of their defense will involve in a measure at least, the same delicate questions moot ed between the two governments some time since. and mentioned before in these ietters-questions of such im-

LAST WORDS

 The late MT. Kruger's last words. T never thought it would be so easy to die" and "Everything. I believe will come right in the end" bring to the memory of many the farewell say Ings of notable men just before the cur tain fell on their life dramas.
 When Charles Matthew's wife. ap- proaching her husband and kissing his head as he was reading his Bible. said 1T want you to go to bed now" T am ready" the great actor replied and never spoke again.

 The Panama lottery has so long oc- cupied a place in the current of daily local affairs that 1t has altogether ceas- ed to be regarded anything else than an ordinary business venture. The drawings occur every Sunday afternoon at i o'clock. and are principally at- tended by the ticket sellers. These sellers consist for the most part of old men and women, and Chinamen. They are allowed 10 per cent. on all sales. and no opportunity is allowed for ir- regularity, as they must buy the tick cts of the company paying cash for them. and If. at the time of the next drawing any remain unsold, the buyer has the privilege of turning them in at their original value.

nNE of the most wonderful .. - events in the history of r. medicine is the multitude of VVs' endorsements which Peruna is In receiving ss Q catarrh cure gome From m en of national ~l importance. men
 The most distinguished men of the United States have no
 hesitation in lending their influence to assist in letting the public know of the merits of Peruna.
 Nearly one.half the people are in some way affected by catarrh. Therefore it is almost national curse. and it is of national import that the people should know of Peruna.
 Catarrh Is an American disease. Peruna is an American remedy. Catarrh is result of changeable climate. Peruna is result of long and careful experimentation.
 Cstarrb enters thesystem through the nerve centers and affects the mucous membranes. Peruna enables the nerve centers to repei and expel the catarrh from the system.
 Catarrh Is Q systemic disease and curable only by systemic treatment.
 The remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This is what Peruna does.

 St. Petersburg, Nov. 5.-(2:40 a. m.)- Great relief Is felt here in view or report indicating that the Japanese as- saults on Port Arthur have been un- successmul A direct report from the Russian consul at Chefoo says he has received information from Chinese sources that the Japanese finally relin- quished the attempt on November B. after losing enormously.
 The consul says the, carnage was awful. The bombardment continued six days without intermission. The Japanese preached and took fort No s, but according to the Chinese were fore ed to abandon 1t owing to the concen- trated fire from the supporting forti- fications. No confirmation has been received here of the report that General Stoessel had been wounded.

returning this week from trip to the States His mission there has been partly in connection with lottery mat ters, and partly on business connected with The Star and Herald, the princi- pal paper on the isthmus, and of which he is director The interviews accord ed by Mir. Duque to the reporters of the New York press. and his alleged utter ances on isthmian affairs have subject ed him to bitter personal attacks by several other newspapers in Panama who resent the idea that Duque occu- pied SO important a role in the seces- sion movement of last year as the American newspapers credit him with. These attacks were no doubt inspired in part by professional jealousy. for no one alive to the events just preceding November 3rd. last, can gainsay that Duane did not figure in them to a very considerable extent. There was some clever inside generalship required. and to all outward appearances he filled the bill.
 If the government of Panama carries out the provisions of the act passed at It's last general assembly. 1t will at midnight on the 31st of December next, ring the death knell of the next largest gambling institution on the isthmus, the roulette monopoly. and by doing so will take a step far in advance of any other Latin American Republic.
 This act decrees that with the expi- ration of the present gambling con- sessions, they cannot be renewed, nor can these forms of gambling be further legalized. The roulette concession ex- pires op the date above mentioned. It is held at the present time by two Americans named Seymour and Pratt, who are paying the Panama Govern Tuent for the privilege. the handsome sum of S67.O00 per annum. They op- crate three wheels in the city of Pana- ma. ana two at Colon. Th" transac- tIons at their tables are often enor- nous, and affects the pockets of both natives aud foreigners to much greater extent than does the lottery. A lottery -'plunger" Is rare. but the rou- lette "plunger'' is nightly visitor at the tables. Newcomers to the Isthmus start into the game imbued with the idea that they can clean out" the house. while the old timers look on and smile, knowing the inevitable result

 In passing, I would illustrate the easy-going official life of this town. The Mayor, or Alcalde is very fond of roluette and as he is more or less "pIunger'' he occasionally gets stuck" At such times, If he still feels he can beat the table, he sends policeman for a fresh supply of funds. This would seem a trifle odd in well-governed municipality In the States. though but thought.
 Governor Davis is an open enemy of these games of chance, and a short time since issued a circular admoni- tory to the employees of the Commiss- ion.

 to the United States, 1t did not con-
 template a twisting of the document to the extent of breaking up business institutions of long standing. They
 vii; further contend that their con- cession was obtained in the proper
 manner from the Colombian Govern

 with all the laws governing the lottery
 enterprise. and that inasmuch as the Panama authorities have recognized in the new national constitution the rights | and privileges formerly enjoyed by the concessionaries under the Colom-
 bian regime, and have guaranteed continuance of protection until the le- | gal expiration of the monopoly, said Government of Panama Is in duty
 bound to support the lottery company
