FREEDOM OF ACTION.
Government of Panama Will Preserve
 Order in Election.

Panama, May 23.-Though no special instructions have been sent out to the governments of the several provinces Sec retary Guardia said today that the gov ernment will endeavor to guarantee com plete freedom of action at tine approaching election, General Guardia also said Pres ioent Amador desired that no effort to this end be omitted and that all government officials must comply with his previous orders to refrain from interfering in the election beyond seeing to 1t that they are conducted fairly and that the will of the people as expressed by the ballot ing shall be respected.
 Members of the directing body of the liberal party apparently do not accept these official assurances. for it was an- nounced this evening that a delegation of liberals will sail for the United States next Sunday to lay before President Roosevelt a statement of their grievances against President Amador.

Roykin Ls Arrested.

Washington. May 23.-Clarence T. Boy kin, manager of the Odette- Wyler com pany, playing at the Belasir theatre, was arrested tonight on the charge of disorder ly conduct as a result of an altercation with the coachman of President Roose- velt's carriage. The hoof beats of the horses disturbed the performance, and MT. Boylxin says he did not leave the theatre to abate the noise until 1t became so pronounced as to interfere with the play. He instructed the coachman to drive lit- tie distance away. but the latter informed him that the carriage was the Presidents, and that he would not move. The coach man refused to change his location and Mir. Boykin admitted dragging him from his seat and they engaged in a struggle, when the police arrived and placed MT. Boykin under arrest. Neither President or Mrs. Roosevelt were in attendance, the carriage being used by guests at the White House. MT. Boykin was released on s collateral.

Representative LaRdiS Releases
 Set Tariff Speech
PROSPERITY IS THE KEYNOTE
MT. Williams of Mississippi Enters Into Coloquy With Speaker and MT. Landis-Latter's Illus
 tions Not Authentic.

Washington. May 3-(Speeia1) )-Repre- sentative Charles B. Landis of Indiana, who has been preparing a tarff speech ever since Congress convened. released 1t this morning and got the prolonged ap- plause of his republican associates. Like all republican tariff speeches prosper ity' was the keynote. Mir. Landis calmly confessed and did not attempt to eX- plain away the difference in prices in the United States and foreign countries of American articles of manufacture. He declared the discrepancy a mere matter of business and cordially endorsed 1t.
 Mir Landis was replied to by the demo- cratic leader Representative Williams, and he had not been speaking five minutes before the Lands speech was demolished. Mir Landis in the course of his remarks had fallen back upon the old false song to the effect that the Wilaon bill was responsible for hard times and in order to clnch his argument he had at con- siderable trouble obtained pictures of Coxey's army, closed shops and idle work men, which he exhibited to the house amid republican applause with the proph- ecy that the same state of affairs would again take place if the democrats re- gained power Representative Williams got hold of the pictures and discovered that they bore dates in May, 1894 In other words, they had been taken while the Mckinley bill, republican meas ure. was on the statute books and before the passage of the democratic tariff law. Similar errors were made throughout the Landis speech and were fully taken ad- vantage of in MT. Williams reply.

DOUBLE MURDER.
Horrible Crime to Cover Robbery Is
 Discovered.

Oklahoma City, May 23.-It was learned here that double murder to cover a robbery, followed by lynching occurred two weeks ago in the wilds of the moun- tains in the Chickasaw nation. The prin- cipals in the tragedy were mountaineeis who agreed among themselves to keep the affair secret.
 A farm house occupied by two maiden women was broken into, the sisters were shot dead while endeavoring to protect themselves and the house robbed of 500 in cash. Neighbors discovered the deed and posse was organized. The murderer was trailed to the woods and was shot dead. Upon the return of the posse from the woods the only remarks in response to inquiries were, Well we guess he will not rob nor murder anybody else''

Boston Negro,

The Boston and other be-spectacled ne- groes from various sections of the north arose in their might as soon as they read of this section in the bill and sent threatening letters to Foraker and other prominent republicans. Their interpreta- tion of the bill is that 1t nationalizes the Jim Crow" system and permits the sep aration of negroes from whites all over the country. They cried shame to Sen ator Foraker, saying such a provision was an outrage and ought to be changed in conference. If it were not. they threat ened he and several other republicans would hear from them about the matter at the polls. Telegrams and letters along this line came from Boston. Chicago and points in Indiana and Ohio. Following these however, came epistles from ne- groes of the south, bespattered with tears of joy The southern negroes think the provision is all right, for they now see their way to either riding with white people or getting the best accommoda- tions.
 Many of them write that they are going to take long journeys as soon as the bill is passed just for the sake of riding all night in Pullman cars and paying a dollar meal in the dining cars.

Senator Foraka is Bssiegcd

BOSTON NEGRO IS KICKING
The Southern Negro Is Pleased and Is Looking Forward to Pullman Cars and Dollar Meals In Up
 hoIstered Cafes.

Washington. May 2S.-(Speeial.)-rhere is more in the rate bill than was dreamed of in the philosophy of Senator Foraker of Ohio when he finished the work of at tending that great measure.
 That the whole question of rate legisla- tion was nefarious scheme the senator from Ohio contended from the outset. That its passage meant that Boston negroes would defame him while southern negroes would be naming their babies after him, Foraker could not foresee, else 1t is probable he would have fought the bill even more bitterly than he did.
 All the worry that has come to the senator from Ohio since last Friday is due to the provision in the bill which says that carriers engaged in interstate commerce shall give equal accommoda- tions to passengers of all classes.
 This, of course, hits a; tine Jim Crow" laws in the southern states. and it is gen. orally thought will force the railroad companies to provide Pullman car accom- modations for negroes
