PANAMA REPORT LOST.
Member of Fiscal Commission Left
Papers in "L" Train.

Unusually large was tho passenger list Of the
steamer Advance which sailed from this port yes
terday for Panama. which might be accepted as an
excellent indication that the reports OF political un
rest In the republic are not causing any alarm
among business men in this city Many of the
passengers were women.
Among those who smiled o7 the Advance. we're
Dr. Raoul A. Amador. OF the President Of
Panama and Consul General Of the republic in this
city and Ricardo Arias. a member Of Panama's
fiscal commission. The latter was much distressed
yesterday over the loss Of the report which he
and his colleagues Of the commission had made for
their government and which SehOr Aras to
deliver on his arrival in Panama
This report covering the real estate operations OF
the Panaman agents in this city, was voluminOus
affair. Just how it happened Senor Arias could not
tell but on Monday evening he carried the report
with him to pack away. He entered an elevated
train and laid the document down. When he
left the train he forgot to take 1t with him.
An advertisement in q morning paper yesterday
asked the finder to return the report to Sullivan q
Cromwell No. - Wall-st Mr.. Cromwell was one
Of Sehor Arias's visitors at the steamer but he re-
ported that no one had appeared at his office with
the bundle of manuscript.

the greatest danger win arise. Editorial ar
ticles demand that the Russian squadron must
be stopped In its irresponsible career for other
wise there is no safety for the shipping OF any
nationality. The Standard" asks; Is TINS III
omened squadron. with its demoraIzeo crews
and incompetent officers, 70 continue its crazy
career and become iutolerable nuisance ana
menace 20 the civilized world?" and, with other
papers. declares that there viii be work Tor the
British navy unless Russia recalls or stops lIS
feet at some neutral port for investigation ana
the punishment OF the guilty parties
The greatest satisfaction is expressed at the
unaniInity Of foreign expressions OF opinion IN
support OF Great Britain's attitude in the mat
ter, and especially at German denunciation OF
the conduct OF the Baltic fleet. Public interest
and anxiety show not the slightest sign OF wan
ing The Russo-Japanese war is almost for-
gotten. and the papers are occupied almost ex-
clusiveIy with the North Sea affair. At all pub
lie dinners the speakers refer in unmeasured
terms 10 the conduct of the Russian officers ana
urge the government to be firm in its demand
for satisfaction
So far the attitude OF the government meets
with the complete approval Of the public who
are greatly gratifed with the instructions OF
the Admiralty for cooperation between the
Mediterranean, Channel and Home squadrons,
should necessity arise. The Home fleet con-
sisting OF nine battleships and three cruisers
which had been stationed at Cromarty left
Tuesday night for the South to be in readiness
for any necessary concentration. All leaves
have been stopped in the navy.
That a possibility of dangerous developments
turks in the protraction of the crisis is seen in
the fact that Russian correspondents of British
papers are beginning to send rather infamma-
bic dispatches The Telegraphs'' St. Peters
burg correspondent this morning says: "In mill
tary circles among the less responsible officers
and in marine circles OF almost all grades the
conviction prevails that sooner or later war
with England is inevitable and that the present
moment is as auspicious as any other" The
Standards" Moscow correspondent also asserts
that "the majority of the Russian people find
more or less satisfaction in the insult offered to
England"
Coaling on a wholesale scale continues. Over
a dozen steamers are now loading at Welsh
ports for Russian account. evidently for the
Baltic squadron.
A dispatch from Vigo. received early this
morning. makes no mention Of the arrival there
Of the Baltic squadron but reports that Brit
ish warships have been seen off Lagos. The re-
port current at St. Petersburg OF the arrival at
Brest of the Russian squadron is evidently based
upon misunderstanding. The only arrival at
Brest known here is Of the Russian transport
Kniaz Gortschakof on Tuesday morning, which
had not communicated with shore and refused
to let reporters go on board

Washington. Oct. 25.-Acting Secretary Adee

note looking to the reassembling Of the Hague
Conference. This is an invitation from the
President OF the United States to the signatory
powers Of the original Hague treaty to come
together again to broaden and strengthen the
original convention. to consider means further

to conserve and extend the rights Of neutral
commerce on the high seas
In addition 20 the signatory powers the invi-

Central American republics. which have an

clause usual in such treaties. allowing powers
TO adhere to the articles OF the treaty upon their

Il SERIOUS ACCUSATION.
Bad Notices alleged for attack IN
the North Sea.

London Oct. ga dispatch from Hull to the
Times" says that the correspondent. as the re-
suit Of his investigation. is OF the opinion that
the attack on the British trawlers by the Rus
sian second Pacific squadron was deliberate
act, perpetrated with knowledge of its character
The correspondent argues that the fact that
the first ships of the squadron steamed calmly
by "disposes of the fiction that the Russian offl-
GERS had an attack of nerves." and then con-
tends that 1t is ridiculous to suppose that Rus
sian men-of-war largely manned by Firms. could
have mistaken the trawlers for anything but
fishing boats Besides" the correspondent says,
such excuses as have been advanced on behalf
of the Russians do not even allege ignorance;
they suggest some mistake or a menacing move
ment by the trawlers. Then the firing was from
more than one ship, and was begun and stopped
by orders"
The correspondent minutely details the in
juries inflicted upon the trawlers, saying:
Every shot was about two and a half inches
in diameter at the point of entry, evidently
bullets from machine guns while the trawlers
also were struck by a bursting shell, OF which
skipper picked up fragments The Moulnein
had a hole aft fifteen inches long and eigGt
inches wide at the point of entry. evidently
made by a shell. 1t is wonderful that the Moul-
men and the Mino escaped the fate OF the
Crane. for the Russian gunners made first rate
practice and must be complimented on their
marksman 4 p. At the same time one cannot
swallow the yarn that they were paralyZed by
terror or that darkness prevented them from
distinguishing the vessels they were firing at
The whole affair is compatible with the idea Of
a drunken commander yielding TO the tempta-
ton TO have little fun among British fisher
men, who are nothing more than peasants in
the eyes of a well born Russian, and according
to the ideas of a Russian officer, especially one
few rubles would settle the killing of a poor
brute of a peasant

A remarkable Record.

| The af1liction bnown as chronic
| Calarrh (Rhinitis) of the nose has been
one of the most difficult problems
| in Medicine, first. because nearly every
| other person il afflicted with this trouble
| and second. because only few physicians
| possess the necessary skill, patience and
| experience to successfully tTeat this
malady which SO frequently is the fore
| runner OF bronchial and luug-disoases.
| The phvsici4n who wishes tOcure cataTrh
must be able to treat rot only tae seat
of the affiiction but also the cause which
| lies invariably in the general condition
of the patient and requires at least the
same attention as the local trouble.
Dr.. A. Sigmanp, the Pittsburg Eye
Ear-Nose- -and-Throat Specialist seems
to be in possession Of the essential re-
auirements for the cure OF Catarrh, a
claim which he can substantiate by
