RUM0R OF PANAMA
REVOLT RECEIVED
Washington Hears
Sensational News
From Zone.
ALL DETAILS ARE WITHHELD
Action Will Be Taken to Cure
any Chronic Revolution
ary Ailment.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 24.--Onlcials
here are considerably concerned to-
day over reports of revolutionary
outbreak in Panama.
The state and war departments
claim to be without confirmation, but
Senor Obadiah. the Panamanian min
lister, has heard something which he
does not feel authorized in making
public because later information may
clear up the situation.
l.. H. Farnham of counsel for the
Panama legation said tonight that IL
there is revolution it is the work of
a few hotheads.
The leaders of the revolutionary
party" he continued, "are Pablo Aro-
semena and DR.. Morales, and Ii they
should succeed in getting control of
the government they would be able
to administer it as satisfactorily as
any persons in the republic. But am
quite confident the authorities will be
able to quell any disturbances that
may occur"
Taft Informed on Situation.
When Secretary Taft returned to
Washington recently from Panama, he
presented to the President a petition
given him by the liberals of the 18TH
mus, wherein complaint was made
against Senor Amador, the president
Of the republic, on account of alleged
nepotism, interference with the polite
al rights of the people, and intention
to make himself practically dictator
Mr.. Taft also told the President In de-
tail the facts in connection with the
political situation.
So far as can be learned tonight no
action was taken by this government.
The instructions of Governor Magoon
authorize him to take such measures
for the protection Of American life and
property as he may deem necessary
There are marines on the 1sthmus,
and he may employ them if he con-
siders their services desirable.
viii Endure No Chronic Complaint.
The President, 1t can be said, has
no intention of permitting Panama to-
develop into a chronically revolution
ary republic, like Colombia. for ex-
ample. Such a condition would be
prejudicial to the United States and
would hamper the American authori-
ties in the construction of the canal.
In case a revolution has occurred, 1t
may be expected that when conditions
arise necessitating it, drastic action
will be taken. The character of this
action has not been determined and 1t
will not be until all the facts in con-
nection with the reported outbreak
today are at hand.

Kansas Senator On
the Stand In His
Own Behalf.
JURY TO GET CASE SATURDAY
Congressman Denies Juris-
diction of Court as Deal
Was Made In Illinois.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. Ex-senator
). X. Burton of Kansas, went on the
stand in his own defense today, in his
trial on the indictment charging him
with having acted in the capacity of a
paid attorney for the Rialto Grain and
securities Company before the post
Office department.
he emphasized that the conference
arranging for his employment by the
Rialto Company took place on Illi-
nois soil, while on a train, beyond the
jurisdiction of the st. Louis court
Burton declared he could not re-
member the conversation testified to
by Charles H. Brooks yesterday, which
was a distinct point for the prosecu-
tion. He related in detail his talk with
Chief POstoffice Inspector Cochran, in
which he told Cochran he expected
to act as attorney for the Rialto Com
pany.
Burton was cross examined for al
most an hour, but did not lose his
apparently firm bearing and replied
to all questions without visible ex-
citement. ~s
From a statement made by
Attorney Lehman, leading coun-
sci for Burton, he is thought that
he will finish the introduction of evi-
dence this afternoon. 1t is believed
the case will go to the jury by to-
morrow.
Few Witnesses Called.
Few witnesses have been summoned
by Senator Burton, the Congressman
relying upon his own testimony to Sc
cure his liberty.
On the stand Burton's testimony fol
lowed closely that given in the former
trial, with the exception that in de-
scribing his conversation with Thomas
B. Harlan, in regard to what the lat
ter has already testified. Senator Bur
ton laid special stress upon the fact
that before the conversation relating
to his employment by the Rialto Com
pany was started, the train in which
they were en- route from st. Louis
to Chicago, had crossed the Mississip-
pi River and was in Illinois, outside
of the jurisdiction of the court before
which the case is being tried.
Tells of Conversation.
Burton testified that during his con-
versation with Harlan, who was a rep
resentative of the RialtO Company he,
(Burton), used the following words
in connection with his proposed en-
ployment:
Nov, Mr.. Harlan, let me under
stand you. am Senator. This COM
pany is using the mails extensively. Is
it contemplated in anyway that | am
to use any influence in the depart
ment directly or indirectly?
"His answer was very emphatic. He
said: No, Senator, we do not want
any influence in the department /"

of the demands but contains veiled
threats that, pressure of the Euro.

Christians.
The communication states that the
Turkish government finds 1t absolu-
tely impossible to accept the financial
control Of Macedonia, as 1t would VIC.

says:

MONUMENT TO ADAM.
Started as a Joke, Twaln's Scheme
 Barely Missed Realization.

Mark Twain in Harper's Weekly.
 Some one has revealed to the Tribune that once suggested to the Rev. Thomas K. Beecher of Elmira, N. Y, that we get up a monument to Adam and that MT. Beecher favored the project. There is more to 1t than that. The matter started as a joke, but it came somewhat near to materializiug.
 It is long ago-thirty years. MT. Dar- wins Descent of Man" had been in print nation raised by it was still raging in pulpits and periodicals. In tracing the genesis of the human race back to it's sources MT. Darwin had left Adam out altogether. We had monkeys and miss ing links and plenty of other kinds of ancestors, but no Adam. Jesting with MT. Beecher and other friends in El- mira I said there seemed to be a likeli- hood that the world would discard Adam and accept the monkey and that in the course of time Adams very name would be forgotten fin the earth; therefore this calamity ought to be averted A monu- ment would accomplish this, and Elmira ought not to waste this honorable oppor- tunity to do Adam favor and herself a credit.
 Then the unexpected happened. Two bankers came forward and took hold of the matter-not for fun not for sentiment. but because they saw In the monument certain commercial advantages for the town, The project had seemed gently humorous before. It was more
