yune's Panama special says
Considerable excitement has been
created on the isthmus by receipt of
orders by the cruiser Dixie to pro-

eral that the assistance of the 500
marines quartered upon Empire hill
are considered absolutely necessary
by the United States. Orders were
for Col. Wood to proceed at once to
Colon with all his force, leaving only
a small detachment to guard the
quartermaster's stores on the hill.

st. Petersburg. Jan. 27--Although
strikes in Reval. Libau, Kieff. Odes-
sa and a few smaller places are ex-
tending, the situation Is nowhere
acute. An increasing number Of
workmen are ont in Moscow, but
there Is no general tie-up or disorder
there. The whereabouts of Father
Gopon still remains mystery. al
though II IL believed the priest is in
Moscow.
The Russian capital presents al
most a normal appearance. and the
authorities are confident the back
bone OF the strike has been broken.
Some factories and mills already have
resumed and a general resumption
OF operations Is expected Monday.
The authorities expect the failure
of the strikers here will have a dis
couraging effect upon workmen in
other cities. and believe there Is nc
longer danger of complete suspen-
sion OF all industrial concerns of Rus
STA.
Minister of the Interior Mirsky has
promised delegation of editors who
called upon him that he will investi-
gate the arrest OF number OF prom
inent writers who are now confined
in St Peter and st. Paul fortress and

marked and the weather lndlca- tions so clearly displayed that the merest layman can understand. There are varied colored lines to indi- cate different conditions of the weath- CT. There is the rain and snow line, clear and cloudy, warm and cold. At each of the signal stations marked upon the map there is stuck a lit tie flag indicating the condition of the weather by colors. Alongside are written numerals indicating the state of the thermometer
 These weather stations, for that is really what they are, are in charge Of two competent observers who receive reports direct from the weather bu- reau and quickly mark upon the maps any change in temperature or condi- tion of the skies.

WOMAN AT LIGHT 39 YEARS
Santa Barbara Beacon Keeper Has Missed But Two Nights
 in Her Career.

For 3S years a woman has kept the light of Santa Barbara. says the Los An geles Times. The lighthouse is situated about two miles southwest of Santa Bar bara, on a low point of land, the light being 17S feet above'the sea. The tower rises from the center of small white building with the usual red roof and green shutters, with tiny porch open ing toward the sea. The building was erected in 1856, and its first keeper was Albert J. Williams, the husband of Mrs. Julia F. Williams. the present keeper. He received his appointment when Franklin J. Pierce was president. The light is a fixed white of the first order and may be seen 17 miles at sea. Just as the civil war was closing, in 1863, Mrs. Williams was appointed keeper in place of her husband. who had died, and she has had the longest service of any keeper on the coast. Mrs. Williams has been away from her post but two nights in 27 years. and does not go away in the daytime save on Sunday. when she rides into town to attend the Congregational church, of which she has long been a member. The family came originally from Maine When they came to the lighthouse in 1856 Mir. and Mrs. Will Hams had two little daughters, and while there two sons were born to them and one child died.

ful business man and despite the ef- forts of some of his colleagues to rep resent him as looking after the inter- ests of corporations, his name Is at tached to some laws that have come from his committee mat are univer sally regarded as most beneficial to the country. He is very proud of the law which bears his name and which pre- vents the granting of rebates by rail roads-a law that much to the gratifi- cation of the senator, has been sus- tained by the supreme court of the United States.
 MT. Elkin's success in amassing . very comfortable fortune makes him the envy of his less fortunate senato- rial colleagues. A well-known senator from the south, who would not object to learning the secret of winning wealth, asked MT. Elkins in all seri- ousness the other day to tell him how to make money. It is not recorded that the West Virginia senator furnished the southerner with a formula for ac- cumulating weath.

legislation that will regulate the great question of railroad freight rates. Every one of these high railroad officials has interviewed the president and it is not saying too much to state that the big majority of them have been converted to the presidents view.
 This is a great big question:; the biggest in the country and in the world and something ought to be done,' Is the remark attributed to J. Pierpont Morgan, the great financier and rail road man. Mir Morgan is much ob- served person when he comes to Wash ington. His last visit was to attend the Gridiron club dinner, but he stayed over for a day or two and com bined business with pleasure by talking to the president and senators about the proposed legislation. MT. Morgan has . reputation of being somewhat exclu- sive and gruff in his manner, but the atmosphere of Washington seems to soften some of the asperities of his CQ1TdClcT anu ut lS NOtcu O plCtty 6oou fellow by those who come in contact with him.
 President A. J. Cassett, of the Penn sylvania railroad. is democratic in his movements and he does not try to hide his presence in Washington, but goes about the public buildings and the de- partments as freely as any other citi- zen. He dropped into the committee room of the senate committee on in- terstate commerce the other day and listened with great relish to the hear ing that was in progress on a railroad bill. After he had retired Senator Ben Tillman said to Chairman Elkins:
 Who was that gentleman who ap- peared so interested in these proceed ings?"
 That was Cassatt. of the Pennsyl- vania railroad" answered Elkins.
 Why didn't you introduce me? don't know as have much use for his class. but I would have liked to have met him." said Mir Tillman.

after MT. Knox came to Washing ton as attorney general he and MT. Bailey met and found they had tastes in common, particularly love LOT finely bred horses. This establish ed a bond of friendship between them that has been very pleasant to both.
 The day Mir Knox took the oath in the senate and sat down at his seat the first man to congratulate him was MT. Bailey. Knox, we are mighty glad to see you here," said MT. Bailey, and we democrats are ready to do anything for you short of treason"
 Mir. Knox acknowledged the compli- ment and not many days after grati- fled the Texas senator by voting for an important amendment which the latter offered to the Philippine government bill that was being voted upon. This amendment provided for the regulation of freight rates and transportation on the railroads in the Philippines by the Philippine government. The amend ment was defeated, although nine oth- CT republicans besides MT. Knox voted for it.
 Mir. Knox owns a pair of the best roadsters in the United States and he and MT. Bailey freouently are seen taking a spin behind these flyers. MT. Bailey at one time owned hne stock farm in Kentucky and he knows horses thoroughly. What he didn't know when he went into the business he learned from another close republican friend.

ident Roosevelt is determined upon gradual reorganization of that service that will put competent men in all for eign posts and bring the whole system up to the highest standard. MT. Loomis is an old newspaper man who entered the consular service during the Harri- son administration and, after the in- terval of the Cleveland administration, was promoted by President Mckinley to the diplomatic service, his first post being minister to Venezuela
 The assistant secretary has much faith in the efficiency of newspaper men as consuls. He finds them alert and watchful of the interests of Amer ican commerce abroad. A recent inves- tigation of this service by Third Assist ant Secretary Pierce has developed good deal of dead timber and 1t is the purpose of the administration to elim- mate this. There is good deal of criticism of some American consuls, who seem to regard their positions as mere sinecures and give little thought to the maintenance of the dignity of their government. Some surprise has been expressed as to why so many of the best consulships have been given to naturalized citizens. It is main- tained that the native-born Americans are more likely to be imbued with tho proper national pride. It is also as- serted that the sending of naturalized citizens back to the country of their birth does not always bring the best re- suits as they do not command the rs- spect among their old countrymen that is necessary to the full success e American representatives.
