NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-United States
minister 70 Panama. the Hon. John Bar
-ett. was a passenger on the steamer
AllianCa, which arrived here late last
night from Colon
In an interview, Mr.. Barrett said:
There is an exact and cordial under
standing between the Panama govern
ment and me, and no friction whatever
exists. There are, however one or two
large questions 10 be settled later, Of
which / do not wish to talk as I could.
THE fact IS, the people up here do
not know affairs at Panama as well as
their officials there. Much of the agi-
tation IS for political effect. Further
than this, 7 do not care 10 talk until 1
look the papers over"
Judge MagOon. counsel for the Canal
Commission. also arrived on the Al
Hanca.
In view OF the charges Of lad faith
made against the United States Gov
eminent in connection with the Panama
affair. the following statement was au-
thoritatively made today as bearing on
the subject:
mo promises whatever were made 10
the Panamans prior TO the revolution.
No promises were evez made them by
the United States Government that were
not kept"
Minister ObaIdis's remark, THE United
States Is great and powerful, and Pan
anna is a young and much weaker re-
public but does this mean that the
Washington Administration shall be the
Judge jury and the whole courtT' is
regarded IL the State Department as
verging on undiplomauC language.
Minister ObaIdIa refers inquirers 70
Dr. EusebiO A. Morales, former minis
ter OF state at Panama, and now a
member Of the fiscal commission OF that
government, for further information
concerning the situation between Pan
anna and the United States.
DR.. Morales Is coming here as an
adviser 70 the Panama legation. He
has already advised President AmadOr

some satisfaction is forthcoming from

ARD last fall, l suggested that this mat

ers might have an opportunity of

road law an airing. But it seems that
they prefer to wait till they come to
pay their taxes and find out more
about it. Then, 1 imagine, this law
will have very few friends outside of
the officials or bridge contractors, who
profit at the expense of their unfortu-
nate neighbors.
1t seems that the late Republican
Convention of Pierce county, held in
Tacoma on the 9th inst, adopted a
plank favoring the repeal OF the pres
ent road law.
The Republican Convention OF this
county omitted to notice such a small
matter, or may be the party thought

TRUTH.
Bf IUE +. VERNON,


His heart was bowed to many a blow,
His arm was raised to many foe,
As on the world and all below
He looked with bosom burning.
He wondered how the world had slept
And seen strong men in thraldom kept,
Because they in the breach had slept
All fear OF danger scorning.
Falsehood, the foremost of his foes,
Like some dark plague before him rose,
A fitting target for his blows
Had he come single handed.
But then if he should vanish him
He saw more foemen dark and grim,
Who did before his eyesight swim
And all his care demanded.
For closely in behind him stood
a rather strange and motley brood,
o, what a splendid brotherhood
Behind him did assemble.
Treason, craft and prejudice,
Injured to every kind of vice,
Their very bearing would suffice
To make the boldest tremble.
Deceit, drest in his robes OF state,
While close behind did malice wait,
And very loudly all did prate
About their trade and calling.
lngratitude seemed half afraid
TO tell the nature of his trade,
For he above all else had made
His presence most appalling.
Treachery. as we always find,
Was lurking slyly in behind,
But then how much he lacked the mind
.L 1, IL l.
'Tis strange the power he can command
In leading on some simple band,
Till they are wrecked upon the strand
Or split up into factions.
And superstition, crafty soul,
Was fearing lest he lost control,
He heard them near and nearer roll
The waves of education.
He wept to think of losing sway,
AS pondering on his own decay,
How many men would lose their pay
When came a new creation.
With all these foes he must contend
Before the world can hope to mend,
Come COmmOn-sense and stand his friend
And drive these foemen under.
1t will be slow, it must be sure,
We must have patience to endure
Its ages ia 'en to build this tower
That Truth must rend asunder,
But Truth must on with cautious stride
For oft these foes in cunning hide,
And ever ready forth to glide
And pOunce on the unthinking.
Then let us rest not till we put
These many foemen under foot,
1t can be done, l doubt it not,
If it were faced unshrinking.

CARING for the Canary.

Nearly all ailments of the canary
are caused by colds, improper foods or
lack OF care. The seed put up in
packages should not be used, as it is
generally poor stuff, principally millet
and hemp, neither OF which should be
given in large quantities. Millet acts
as a laxative, and hemp causes fat and
disease. Three-fourths of a pound OF
best canary seeds to one-fourth of sew.
eral kinds equally mixed. is good
proportion. Do not feed the bird
cakes and sweets. Always keep a
piece OF cuttlefsh bone and tiny bag
of sulphur suspended in the cage.
Rolled oats, German rape. Indian mil.
let, Turkish mace seeds, with fine
gravel, lettuce (seed or green), plan
tein or peppergrass seeds are all good.
Clean, fresh drinking water is impor-
tant at all times. At all times, too,
the cage should be kept clean and
sweet, with fresh sand or paper in the
bottom.
If the bird sits with its feathers all
pulled up in the day time, give it red
pepper and tiny scraps of fat pork
twice a week; if constipated, give
green food, apple, or few fax seeds
for watery evacuations, feed princi-
pally ON hard boiled egg for day OF

be hung in the cage, as pepper is a

Is There Any Significance in Namesl

The present war between Russia and
japan is known as the Russo-Japanese
war, and q writer in the Philadelphia
Press points out an interesting fact
connected with wars in which the
names Of the contending nations were
hyphenated to distinguish them. This
writer shows that invariably the name
OF the country before the hyphen has
come out loser. The Austro. .Prussian
war was lost by Austria. The Franco
Prussian war was lost by France. The
Chino-Japanese war was lost by China,
and the Spanish.American war was
lost by Spain. Those who believe in
signs and Umens will see in the desig.

feat for Russia. Others, however, will
probably wait to see what facts develop.
