ers on the isthmus of Panama in case
they attempt to promote riots and
revolution at the time of the election
in Panama on June 20. Although the
canal zone is under Xle secretary Of
war there is no indication that the
war department will have any troops
near the isthmus at the time of the
approaching election. and Secretary
Taft must rely upon the marine corps
to protect the canal zone.
Only 200 marines are on the 18TH
mus at present. These are in COM
mand of Maj. c. J. Long.
Columbia Takes Marines.
More than 400 marines are on the
Columbia, which is on its way to
Guantanamo, and will be within easy
call in case the politics become
stormy in Panama. This large de-
tachment of marines is in command
of Maj. Lejoune The Marblehead,
which is now sailing southwark down
the Mexican coast and is only few
days from the isthmus, carries only a
small detachment of marines and
cannot add much strength to any land
expedition which may be necessary to
quiet the political situation which is
so threatening.
The zone police force has been
strengthened materially and is so
well equipped that it is in reality a
miniature army and is ready for SER
vice at any time.
QuelI Any Disturbance.
Under the leadership of the we'll
trained marines it is believed the po-
lice force will be able to auell any
disturbances which may arise. The
Panama railway afforda such excel
lent transportation facilities that
troops can be fastened to seay posi-
BILE scene Of trouble in the canal zone
without delay. This insures the pro-
lection of all American property in
terests. Secretary Root and Secre-
tary Taft have also made it clear that
they will take a hand in disturbances
outside the zone, and if the Liberals
begin any movement against the pres
ent government of Panama it will be
with full knowledge that the United
States expects to intervene in disturb
ances which will delay the canal work
or affect it in any way.

Rain QUN(HB FOREST fires
ALL DANGER IS NOW PAsr-rHE
LOSSES ARE SAID 70 De
GREATLY EXAGGERATED.

Marinette, Wis, May 23.-All dan
ger from forest fires is past. It rained
yesterday morning and the wind has
died out. The loss everywhere is be-
lieved to have been exaggerated.
The I. Stephenson Company OF
Wells, Mich, was the heaviest loser
and its losses will not be more than
$4,000. Most of the buildings de-
stroyed were of frame construction.
The saw mills destroyed were all
small ones, worth not more than from
$4,000 to $4,000. The total loss in
the burned area will not be more
than 100000.
The number of settlers burned out
has also been greatly exaggerated.
Some papers have placed the number
as high as 1000. Considering the way
in which the northern country is set
tied it is certain that not 500 have
been burned out, and it is probable
that the actual number who lost their
homes is not more than 200, and it
may not reach this amount.
The most damage is at Quinnesec,
Mich, large town, which was de-
stroyed, but the fire there was not due
to forest fire, but to bonfire in the
rear of livery stable. There are no
woods around Quinnesec.
100000 Feet Of Logs Burning.
Gillett, Wis.,, May 23.-About two
million feet of logs are on fire at
Hollis Spur, near the Chicago &
Northwestern tracks. A large area
is on fire and damage to loggers will
be heavy. 1saacson & Newall's saw
mill at Newall, with the seasons cut
and logs, have been destroyed by for
est fires. The town is in great danger.

Tuesday,.

Washington, May 16.-With the ex-
ception Of an anti-pass amendment
the senate yesterday concluded it's
consideration Of the railroad rate bill
as in committee of the whole, and as
soon as that provision shall be dis.
posed of will take it up in the senate.
The general expectation is that the
pass question will be disposed Of early
to-day and the general hope is that the
bill may be passed before the close
of to-day's session.
During the day Senator Tillman
made a further explanation concern
ing his negotiations with the president
and had Former Senator Chambers
memorandum read. The presidents
letter to Senator Allison was also read
at the instance of the Iowa senator.
The session opened with personal
statement by Mr.. Tillman concerning
his relations with Mr.. Aldrich.
The house by a decisive vote reaf-
firmed it's faith in the navy depart
ment, defeating an amendment of Mr..
Tawney, chairman of the appropria-
lions committee, to limit the repairs
on ship to 10 per cent of the cost.

Wednesday.

Washington, May 1.-THE recent
efforts of the president and the Demo
cratic senatorial leaders to reach 81
agreement on the rate bill received
further notice in the senate yesterday
from Senators Bailey and Tillman.
The matter was referred to by the
Texas senator in the course Of per-
sonal explanation called out by an ar
ticle in the Chicago Tribune charging
Mr.. Bailey with failure to find COM
mon ground, and by Mr.. Tillman in a
speech in support of Mr.. Bailey and
in presenting further statement from
Former Senator Chandler.
In his address Mr.. Bailey denounced
the article in question as a 'lie" and
the author and inspirer of it as "liars.''
There also was sharp colloquy be-
tween Senators Daniel and Tillman
over an amendment to the anti-pass
provision.
The consideration of the rate bill
in committee of the whole was con-
cluded and the measure was then re-
ported to the senate, where there will
be opportunity to review and alter all
the amendments heretofore made.
The naval appropriation bill, carry
ing nearly a hundred million dollars,
was completed yesterday in the house
after one of the busiest days of the
present congress.
