THE PANAMAN APPEAL.

Few persons familiar with men and affairs
in Panama will doubt the ability, sincerity,
patriotism and friendly attitude toward Amer
lea of DIR. Pablo Aroseme1a, the First Desig-
nate of that republic, who is now at the head of
an extraordinary self-constituted mission to this
country. We may also concede the possession Of
similar qualities to all his associates on that
mission. if we are warranted in accepting the
assurances which some persons have given that
DR.. BelisariO Porras has turned from his for
mer intense antagonism TO America and has re-
nOunced the tendency-Of which he was shrewd-
ly suspected-toward coquetting with such mis-
chievous, though happily futile, schemes as the
attempted Huertas revolution of November,
1904
We may with equal confidence add that few
persons familiar with Panaman men and affairs
who are not themselves Panamans, "dowerd
with the hate of hate, the scOrn of scorn, the
love of love-" Will doubt that-in all sincerity
and good faith-Dr. Arosemena and his asso-
ciates greatly exaggerate, or overestmate, the
gravity of the political situation on the isthmus
and take entirely too pessimisttc a view of the
policies, plans and purposes of the existing gov
ernment, and too hopeless view of the ability
of the Panaman people to make their votes
effective at the polls.
Nor will it be aniiss to observe that these es-
timable gentlemen appear TO be seeking some
thing for which there is no warrant and which,
if it were proposed by others. at least some of
them would probably be the very first to de-
nounce and resist The constitution of the Re
public OF Panama and the treaty between Pan
anna and the United States amply authorize
American Intervention in any part of Panama
on American initiative and at American discre-
ton for the maintenance or restoration Of order
but so far as we have been able to ascertain.
they make no provision whatsoever for such
American supervision of Panaman elections as
DR. Arosemena and his associates are under
stood to desire and TO request. Does not Dr..
Belisario Porras fear that in such a perform
ance, if it were TO be made. there would be
realization of his troubled dreams of three
years ago, when he imagined that Panama WAS
being swallowed by Yankeeland?

ELECTRIC SIfELTING OF IRON.

In '"The Electrical Age for the current month
Auglste ]. ROssi considers from q new point
of view the electric smelling of iron ores.
Hitherto the process has been regarded with
favor chiefly because OF its cheapneSs In locali-
ties where water power abounds and coal is
scarce and costly. This is the case In Sweden
and in some parts of Canada. On the other
hand, in those parts of the United States where
the iron industry has attained it's largest devel-
opment the older method of reducing ore is the
more economical. There is, however. another
advantage which electricity possesses over coke
or charcoal 1t yields a much higher tempera-
tllre. and thus renders feasible the utilization
of exceptionally hard ores
In the AdirOndacks and elsewhere in this
country dtanium IS associated with iron, but
the former metal makes the compound so re-
fractory that the extraction of the latter from
the non-metallic materials combined with them
is almost hopeless task. For this reason
titaniferous ores have never been in favor with
smelters though their low percentage of phOs-
phOrus and sulphur is a recognized recOmmenda-
ton. The putting at the disposal of industry
of large deposits of iron which have not been
deemed available before is, of course, cause
for satisfs ction but that is not the whole story
Alloys containing titanium have a special met
allurgical value By the addition of one Of
them, 'ferTOutanium," to steel in the final
stage Of manufacture product of unusual quail
ity is secured Mr.. ROSsi shows that it should
be feasible to make another, which might be
known as titanic pig and which would com
mand a ready sale for particularly hard cast
ingS.
In the Ad1rondacks certainly and possibly in
other regions where titaniferOus ores abound
previously neglected water power could be en-
ployed TO reduce them. STILL electricity could
be generated lnexpenslvely in places where the
older system Of smelling is in vogue Furnaces
in which coke is burned produce great uuanti-
ties OF gas that is now wasted. This could be
used in internal combustion engines which in
turn might drive dynamOs. Mr.. Rossl believes
that in some instances it would be found desir~
able 10 combine the two methods of smelling
in one locality The leading steel makers Of
the country aim to produce everything that they
need, and TO avoid buying from anybody else.
They own iron mines. coal mines, coke ovens
and blast furnaces, as we'll as steel furnaces
and rolling mills. The day may not he dis
tant when no set Of works will be considered
complete which does not include a plant for

RUFFIAyIsu ON THE BRIDGE

The arrest, Imprisonment and filming of man

disgraceful act. and il is 10 be hoped they will

is not much ruffianism on the bridge now
as there was before extra policemen were sta

A large proportion OF the more violent forms of

shipping smallpox at wholesale from one state

such inspection might, indeed be the govern

great and the evils of bad factory conditions are
chiefly local. the possibility of such federal ac-
ton need not frighten us from safeguarding the
people In various states against real and great

give them no protection.
The packers themselves closed the case for
