Woman Suffragists Elected.

Unusual excitement in connection
with the reopening of parliament was
caused by the presence of about 100
woman suffragists, many Of whom, de-
spite the protests of the police, man
aged to find their way into the outer
lobby of the house of commons with
the intention of buttonholing the mem
bers in support of, their movement.
number of the suffragists mounted
vacant chairs in the lobby and began
to harangue the few members of par
lament present in that part of the
house. The police, being reinforced,
made a strategic advance against the
invaders, taking the women singly,
and gradually elected them, one by
one, from the house. The most mill
tant of the women struggled desperate
" and two officers were required to
eject them. The hysterical shouting
and screaming brought crowds from
the house. During the height of the
tumult small band of the staunchest
suffragists determined to attempt to
break into the house itself. For sew
eral minutes the utmost disorder pre-
vailed and the police had all they
could do to eject the stern, determined
women

Serious Breach Occurs Be-
tween Upper House and
Commons in England.
APPEAL TO PEOPLE LIKELY
STEPS MAY EVEN De TAKEN TO
ABOLISH HEREDITARY BODY
UNLESS COMPROMISE CAN BE
EFFECTED.

London, Oct 23.-Extreme impor-
lance is attached to the session of par
lament which opened today. in view
of possibility that before final ad-
journment comes the breach already
existing between the commons and
the house of lords viii have become
so wide that active steps will be un-
dertaLen to abolish the hereditary
upper house.
The deadlock existed before the adj
journment Of the last session. de-
termined effort will be made by the
government to force the lords to
agree to the pending measures which
have caused so much discussion and
every indication shows that the lords
will resist to the end. An appeal to
the country on the proposition to
either abolish the house of lords or
to take away its powers, is regarded
as the certain outcome of the strug
gle unless a compromise can be ar
ranged.
One bill is the measure prohibiting
a man from voting in more than one
constituency In some cases land
owners are privileged to vote in 20
different districts where they have
the property qualifications. AS many
of the lords are large land owners
whose special privileges would be in
terfered with the measure will meet
with cold reception in the upper
house.
The education bill and the work
mems compensation measure, the lat
tor fathered by the labor party. will
come up for consideration at an early
date

NEWSPAPERS FROM 200 CITIES.
Novel News Stands Which Are Gener.
Ously PatrOnized.

Men and women who live in New
York but who were born and brought
up in other places are interested III
down town news stand, which has on
sale newspapers from 200 of the prin-
cipal cities of the United States and
Canada, as we'll as the important pa
pers published in Mexico and Cuba.
The stand was established two
weeks ago as a branch of similar
enterprise which has been conducted
uptown for about a-year. 1t is /.
novel idea. and it is meeting with
success, because, as the promoter says
when man passes the stand and sees
his favorite home newspaper, it is
lust like getting letter from his
folks" Accordingly, it is difficult for
him to resist the temptation to buy.
The promoter got his idea at the st.
Louis exposition, where he sold news
papers from many other cities. to a
horde of visitors. Seeing the posi-
bilities of his peculiar field he has
widened it until the business Is now
carried on at the Florida and Califor-
MIA winter resorts, visitors from New
York and other large cities being cat
cred to especially. -.
In conducting the New York stands,
their proprietor aims to fill the wants
of many classes of individuals. His
clientele Is wholly cosmopolitan. At
the uptown stand he carries news
papers from London, Paris, Berlin,
Budapest. st. Petersburg and Yoko-
hama and Manila in the Far East He
has eager buyers for all these Jour-
nails, a fact which further testifies to
the varied character of the city's pop
ulation.
The persons who patronize the up
town stand are mostly transient hotel
guests, such as the buyers who flock
to New York at different seasons from
hundred or more large cities of the
country. These men always like to
read their home newspaper and they
are willing patrons. Actors from the
west and south. persons who come t.
New York on pleasure; in fact,
great many strangers find their way
to the stand.
Down town, the class of buyers is
somewhat different Here one meets
with working men and women who
belong to other cities, but who do not
get home papers with any regularity.
These persons are ready purchasers.
Altogether, the scheme seems to
have caught the public fancy, and
even New Workers pause before the
two stands to look at the varied as
sortment OF unfamiliar headlines, for
no local papers are on sale.-New
York Evening Post.

Something like 23,000," said Mr..
Shonts. BY far the greater part If
them are foreigners, and a consider
able number are Spaniards.
Tell me something about the Span
ish labor?"
This is made up of men whom we
imported from the north of Spain.
They are Of the same character as
those used by Sir William Van Horne
in building the Cuba railroad, and we
find them excellent workmen We have
tried few hundred as an experiment,
and We hope to increase the force to
some thousands. They are far supe-
rior to any labor we have SO far Sc
cured. excepting the Americans"
How many Americans have you at
work?"
ABOUT 5000. They are chiefly me-
chanics, engineers, foremen, carpen-
ters, masons, plumbers. etc. They are
good men and are, to large extent,
in charge of the work."
How does the Spanish labor COM
pare with the native labor?"
Engineer Stevens estimates 1t as
two or three times as Efficient" was
the reply. 1T is almost equal to the
American labor. The ordinary native
labor, including that OF the Jamaican
negroes, is equal to about one-third the
working power of the American"
The Eight.Hour Day.
How about hour?"
We use the eight-hour day. This is
the law and we cannot do otherwise
That it is so is a mistake. don't
think tho lau, Tho oo-t,, -
labor law, or the Chinese exclusion
act, should obtain on the isthmus.
FOur-fifths Of our employees are bound
70 be foreigners, who are accustomed
to longer hours and "ho work so much
less intelljgently and energetically
than the Americans, that 1t is hardly
fair to consider them on the same
basis. However, that is matter that
congress will have to determine. We
pay our men by the hour, and we can
by law give them only 48 hours week.
If we could work them for 10 hou "a
day, we could give them 60 hours Il
week; and in that case they would ac-
cept lower wages than they now re-
ceive. AS a matter of fact the skilled
laborers would rather have the ten
hour day, and some Of them would be
glad to work over time at extra pay
AS it is now, they expect to get time
and half for all work done over eight
hours"

'They are good. The wages arc

am safe in saying that there is no
dissatisfaction in Panama"
New Homes and New Food.
Have you sufficient quarters for the
men, Mr.. Shonts?"
Yes. We have done great amount
OF building since we took charge and
we could give quarters to 5000 more
employees than we now have. We are
building and improving eight along.
We have nine hotels on the canal zone
and nearly every American has room
looking out on a veranda, sometimes
alone and sometimes with ROOM
mate. The Tivoli hotel at Ancon,
which is intended more especially for
the administration employees, has 100
sleeping apartments. We have a prac-
teal builder in charge of the new con-
struction and more than 1000 men are
now putting up new buildings and re-
pairing the old ones"
How about food?"
We have organized good system
of supplying the men with meals at
low rates. The native workmen are
charged 10 cents meal and the Amer
leans pay 30 cents meal at the hotels.
The native food is, of course, much
cheaper than the American. A TO-
cent meal consists of soup made of
meat and some rice, sweet potatoes or
yucca and bananas. That is a sample.
Ofecourse, there Is considerable vari-

meals?"
"They are to be found at the hotels
and mess; houses. They are just about
equal to the 50-cent meal that one
gets at country hotel in the United
States. The bill of fare usually in
cludes several kinds of meat, some
vegetables, fruit and perhaps Ice
cream or pie. We have established
cold storage plants AMI put refriger-
ator cars on the railroads, and we are
doing all we can to make the men
comfortable"
How about amusements?"
We have been very busy improving
the sanitary conditions and have not
done as much in that line as we should
Ike to do. Nevertheless, We have es-
tablished reading rooms in the hotels
at Corozal and Culebra and equipped a
brass band which has been organized
by the employees of Christobal. The
Americans are adapting themselves to
conditions there. They are forming
clubs of various kinds( and among
