PUBLIC WORKS IN PANAMA.

WASHINGTON, April s.-PursUant to the
terms Of the treaty with Panama, the United
States paid to that country the sum Of Sl0,-
900 900 "as the price Of compensation for
the right to use the zone granted in this
convention" Out Of this sum Panama
invested $4,000, 900 in various securities
in this country. The National Assembly
decreed the use OF the remaining 81 900 900
for public works, this sum to be expended
within thirty months: Twenty months
have passed since the issuance of the decree,
but only a little more than 81 900 900 has
been expended.
Even this has provoked a local on
t~roversy among the politicians of the 18TH
mus. A short time ago the Opposition
charged the Government with ~squandering
the public money. A reply is made to this
by the Panama Star and Herald, the organ
of the Administration. In a detailed state
ment the paper shows how much has been
spent and what has been done with it. 1t
makes an excellent sho wing Of work done,
work in process and work projected. The
list is too long for quotation here, but it in
cludes, in the completed work, some sixty
miles of new macadam road, more than
fifty bridges large and small, two ferries,
five schoolhouses, two tower clocks, road
repairs and harbor improvements,
The work in process includes a Govern
ment palace and a national theatre in
Panama City, Government houses in Colon,
Bocas del Toro, David, Los Santos and
Penonome; more schoolhouses, roads,
bridges and clocks, some fountains and a
cemetery. While the official buildings and
schoolbouses are not palatial structures, and
while most Of the bridges are only wooden
passageways across country streams, all
are suitable for their respective purposes.
1t would seem that on the whole the Gov
eminent is to be commended for it's con-
servatism rather than criticised for it's ex-
t~ravagance. 1t is an excellent sign when
a little Government has 81, 200, 900 to spend
and does not try to break the record In
getting rid of it as quickly as possible.
Panama should have, and some day will
have, a longitudinal railway, at least from
Panama to David, via Santiago, a distance
of probably $50 miles as the line would run.
This is perhaps too much for the country
to assume just yet, but it would be a good
idea to make an early start on it. A larger
day is fast coming for the new republic.

JAPANESE TO OPEN MANCHuRI
Foreign Consuls VIII BE Allowed TO Go N

WASHINGTON, April s.-The japanese
Legation to-day gave out the following
statement:
Owing to the fact that the Withdraw,
Of troops from Manchuria not having sui
ficiently progressed, the japanese Govern
ment hitherto have neither permits,
citizens and vessels of foreign ~countrs|
to enter the ports and regions of ManchuHI
o allowed foreign Consuls to proceed
to their posts therein. Considerable prosl
ress, however, having now been made d
this respect, the Japanese GOVERNED
have decided, in accordance with the prinI
oiples of open door and equal opportrni1
ever advocated by them, to permit %citizeni
and vessels of foreign countries 10 entel
from May 1 Antung-Hsien and TatungI
Kao and allow foreign Consuls to proceed
to their posts at Antung-Hsien. FROM
June 1 foreign Consuls will be allowed n

ohuria will be generally permitted in d
far as military exigencies do not prevent i
1T has further been decided that th1
Japanese will open Dairen ia Lien-Wanl

For Week Ending Monday, August
81, 1906.

Des Moines, Aug. 2S.-From Monday
morning to Saturday night the tempa-
ture was abnormally high, with consid-
cradle excess of humidity. The cool
wave on Sunday lowered the tempa-
ture nearly to the frost line in all
sections, and light frost was reported
at Charles City on the morning of the
9th. For the state at large the rain
fall was very light; but copious show
ers were reported In widely scattered
localities in the northeast, northwest,
west central and southeast districts.
In at least two-thirds of the state the
soil Is dry, and rain is needed for pas
turage. potatoes, late planted corn and
for fall blowing. No serious damage
by drouth has resulted as yet, except
in very limited areas in the southern
section. Fair progress has been made
In threshing, and considerable blowing
has been done where moisture has
been ample. The corn crop has made
rapid advancement, and the prospects
of heavy output still holds good.
Some of the early planted fields will
be ready to be cut within the coming
week, and much of the crop is begin
ing to dent. The yield of corn fodder
will be much heavier than usual. Con-
ditions of minor crops about as pre-
Yiously reported

New York, Aug. 28.-Judicial candi-
dates, chosen without regard to their
political service, or the campaign con-
tributions they are able or willing to
make, are offered to the voters of New
York county this fall.
A committee of thirty-five lawyers,
with Hon. Joseph H. Choate as chair
man and Judge Alton B. Parker as
vice chairman, have selected ticket
including ten candidates for justices
of the supreme court, two for the
court of general sessions, and candi-
date for Surrogate. The ticket has al
ready received the approval Of over
100 members of the New York bar,
and will cut an important figure in the
fall elections.
Open Headquarters.
The judiciary nominators, the name
adopted by the Choate committee,
have opened headquarters and are pro-
ceeding actively with the work of
placing their candidates in nomination
by petition. The committee has act
ed in response to general demand
from lawyers and the public generally
for judicial candidates Of proven abil-
ity and independence, who would be
free from obligations or connections
that might interfere with impartial
and efficient administration Of justice.
This Is their ticket.
For justices of the supreme court,
Edward S. Clinch, Theodore Connolly,
Lewis L. Delafield, John Frankenheim-
er, Leonard A. Giegerkich, Arthur H.
Masten, Samuel H. Ordway, Charles
e. Rushmore, Lawrence E. Sexton,
Edward B. Whitney. For Surrogate,
Frank T. Fitzgerald General sessions.
Rufus B. Cowing and William e. Wy
att,
Ever since Richard Croker testified
before the Mazet committee that Tam
many expected judges nominated and
elected by it to favor the "organiza-
ton" whenever they could do so, there
has been a growing belief that some.
thing should be done to remove the
choice of judges from political con,
| troll. The discovery that heavy cam.
paign contributions had come to be
almost condition precedent to nom
ination for judicial positions by the
regular parties strengthened this be
lief Then came the plan of the judo
! larry nominators to choose candidates
by sort of referendum of lawyers
and citizens in general without regard
to party.
Other Cities Follow.
The lead of the judiciary nominators
Is being followed in several Other
cities. Movements are on foot il
Brooklyn, Buffalo, Pittsburg, and Chi
cago. A citizens committee of 100 is
making up a ticket in Brooklyn, sug
gestions as to the best men being vel
coined from all quarters. The exper
fence Of Buffalo shows how easy 1t is
for an independent movement of this
kind to be swallowed up by the poll
ticians. The Bar association there hae
the choice Of nominees in hand t.
start with, but the movement was soor
captured by men whose party allegi
ance was stronger than their desire tt
further absolutely independent judie
larry nominations. Anticipating such {
possibility in New York, the Choat'
committee has kept free from any or
ganization through which it's actions
might be controlled OF influenced.
