from northern cline. Just as an artis-
tic photograph brings out the beauty and
striking features of the scenery, so do the
official reports and interviews describe
Panama. Souvenir postals show it TO be
land of pleasant sunshine, waving
palms and picturesque houses, gorgeous
fruits, and bubbling rivers. All these
exist, but the countless odors, the ever
present black buzzards, the all covering
pail of dirt, the damp, depressing. fever
laden atmosphere, the dusky man and
woman and dozen children that eat, live
and sleep on the dirt floor of the pretty
matched huts, do not show on the postal
cards.
The person who goes to the isthmus
from the United States knows from his
appointment papers just what he is en-
titled to. He can be assured that it
will be carried out to the letter, if not
in the spirit. He knows the amount of
his salary, his hours of work, how many
weeks of vacation and sick leave he will
receive each year, and that part of his
living expenses will be borne 10y the gov
eminent.
That much of the picture is apparent,
and he probably adds little dark color
ing on account of current reports of fever
and disease. However, not until one
sees Panama does he appreciate the dull
monotony and the emptiness of life in
that section of the tropics. This is the
reason why so many return to the States
on the next steamer; others wait only
long enough to earn their passage home;
and so few have any sincere interest in

Gear Appoints Him Chief Plenipoten-
tiary of Russia.
Emperor Nicholas has appointed VI.
White. president of the committee of
ministers, to be chief plenipotentiary rep
resenting the Russian government in the
peace negotiations to be conducted next
month in Washington.
Sergius Witte, the Russian plenipo.
tertiary, may be regarded as the leading
Liberal statesman of Russia. For the
last thirteen years he has been one OF
the strongest personalities in the Rus
sian bureaucracy, although his political
fortunes suffered a setback when he was
compelled to resign the portfolio of min
lister Of finance in August, 1903, and
again when, after being appointed presi
dent of the council of ministers in the
same month, his Office gradually lost its
Importance until rumors of his intention
to resign and go abroad had been per-
sistently circulated.
White is about Sc years old and has
worked his way up from the position OF
an underpaid railroad clerk, who occa.
sionally acted as porter, to that of the
leading statesman of Russia, in spite OF
the fact that his enemies are numerous
and include some of the most powerful
men in Russia. 4 man of large stature
and muscular, standing over six feet
high, White has the reputation of being
harsh to his subordinates, but his ability
has never been doubted even by his worst
enemies. He was created count in
1901.
NJ. Witte is thoroughly familiar with
the far eastern question in all its bear
ings. He understands the japanese posi-
ton and fully realized before the war
that the aggressive policy pursued un-
der the lead Of Viceroy Alexieff and NJ.
Bezobrazoff, president of the Yalu Tim
Der Company. and the coterie Of adven-
turers connected with them would drive
Japan to take up the sword. At one
time Witte talked over the situation with
Marquis Ito, president of the japanese
privy council and one of the leading
statesmen of Japan. Practically it was
Whites disapproval of Russia's far east
ern policy and the CT cation of a vice
royalty in the far East which caused
his downfall as minister of finance.

Farming Lands There to Be Settled by
European Immigrants.
Prominent among the enterprises for
the settlement of the great West and
Southwest are the various colonization
projects being pushed forward by the
railroads and even by the foreign gov
ernments.
The Rock Island passenger depart
ment, after considerable effort, has sue
ceeded in locating colony of Menonites
in Seward county, Kansas. The colony
has purchased eighty-four quarter Sec
tons of land, one quarter section for
each family. This land, until a short
time ago was regarded as arid and ut
terly worthless. For long time the
land proved utterly unfit for agricultural
purposes, but lately it has been found
we'll adapted to the growth of Durham
wheat, and this is the use to which it
will be put by the new colonists. Arti-
fetal irrigation in that section is not nee
essary. The colony has every chance for
prosperity.

Is the only chance of saving his life.
At the hospital each yellow fever sus-
pect is placed in separate wire cage,
to prevent mosquitoes biting him and
spreading the disease to others. Malaria
IS more prevalent. and its effect on the
system is frequently worse than yellow
fever. Many of the men have recur-
ring attacks of malaria, which can be
cured only by leaving the country for a
colder climate. Each succeeding attack
seems more severe than its predecessor,
until the victim finally is almost a ply
steal wreck.
Through the country and the nation
runs spirit of depression, due to the
hot, humid climate, that unconsciously
steals into the most active physique.
The native of Panama has no need of
even gathering sticks for fire to warm
his sunburned shins. 1t is nation
without freside, and civilization cannot
flourish without the hearthstone. A few
bananas, stalk of sugar cane to chew,
and a cocoanut to drink, occasionally a
little wild game, and some native rum
whenever it can be secured, keep life in
most of the residents.
Trade in Panama city is almost mo-
nopolized by a few families. Most of
the leading business men are related by
blood or marriage. So far, Americans
have confined themselves to running
boarding houses which have been failures.
Chinese are the middle class merchants
in the city and country.

Rain and Fever.
The rainy season started about April
/. All outdoor work until the season
closes, in November, is now carried on
under difficulties which are unknown in
temperate climate. One or more show
ers-cloudbursts they would be called in
this country-are of practically daily oc-
cu-rence. Sometimes they continue for
hours, or even days. but the usual pro-
gram is shower of about an hours
duration every morning and every after
noon. In the intervals when the sun
shines things dry quickly, but when it
does not appear the atmosphere is pain
fully depressing.
Under this downpour the ground be-
comes moist and unstable, the beds of
dry creeks become boiling mountain tor
rents, and for weeks, and sometimes
months, interior towns are cut off from
all communication with on another, ex-
cept by way of the oceans.
The dread yellow fever accompanies
the rainy season and is most active dur
ing July. No precautions thus far found
have availed to prevent it. 1t strikes
suddenly and hard, and within FIVE days
the victim is either ON the road to re-
covery or is dead. A person may be
feeling in the best of health in the even
ing, but wake up with a splitting head
ache and with chills and pains in his
joints in the morning. Before noon his
temperature will have risen above 1OC
