PANAMA ISSUE IS ovERsoLo.
$50, ZOO, 900 Canal Bonds Are Many
Times OversubscrIbed.

Washington, Dec. b The opening
OF the bids for the issue of $50, 600, 900
Panama canal bonds, which was be-
gun at 4:30 o'clock Saturday after
noon, was not concluded until nearly
10 o'clock, when the following state
ment was issued at the treasury de-
partment:
"The bids for the $4,000, 900 Of Pan
anna canal bonds invited by the secre-
tary's circular of Nov. fS were open
cd in the treasury department. There
we're more than 5000 bids, and the
loan was many times oversub-
scribed. No complete tabulation has
been possible as yet, but it can be
stated that the average price is well
above the present market price Of the
bonds.
Owing to the large number Of bids
TO be considered 1t will be impractical
BILE to make an allotment Immediate
ly, but the secretary will be prepared
to give further information Monday"
Further than this the secretary was
not prepared to make any statement.
He explained that there was such a
very large number of bids that to
make any deductions as to the lowest
price at which the bonds would be
awarded was manifestly impossible,
and that it might take some close cal
culations to determine which bids
were successful and which were not.

BANKS GET THE CERTIFICATES
ALLoTMENTs ARE SUSPENDED
BY THE SECRETARY OF THE
TREASURY.

Washington, Dec. /. - The final
closing of allotments on the 3 per
cent one-year certificates was definite
ly announced by Secretary Cortelyou
yesterday. He declared that no allot-
ments had been made or would be
made after his announcement of We'd
nesday night that no further subscrip-
tons would be considered. The point
was not quite clear until his state
ment yesterday that some few allot-
ments might not be made from sub
scriptions already on hand Wednes-
day.
AS the matter stands, practically all
the allotments are 10 national banks
which have agreed to take out circu-
lation and In a majority of cases have
indicated a willingness to surrender
the certificates before maturity upon
payment of accrued interest on the
date of redemption.
Information was still withheld at
the treasury as to the amount OF the
allotments made, but such informa-
ton as is obtainable indicates that
the total will not materially exceed
s25, 10000.

SIXTY MINERS
ARE FNTOMB[D
EXPLOSION OF BLACK DAMP
CAUSED BY MINER USING
OPEN LAMP.
MANY THOUGHT TO Be DEAD
FIRE IN CALIFORNIA MINE UN-
DER CONTROL AND RESCUE
WORK STARTED.

Monongahela, Pa, Dec. 3.-Between
fifty and sixty miners are entombed
in the Naomi mine of the United
Coal Mine company at Fayette City
as the result of an explosion of black
damp at 8 o'clock last night.
1t is thought many are dead behind
tons of rock and coal which fell dur
ing the conclusion and blocked the
entrance.
The explosion was caused, it is said,
when a miner with an open lamp en-
tered one of the old workings. Medi-
cal aid has been sent from Mononga-
hela and surrounding towns.
Some May Be Alive.
Drytown, Cal, Dec. 8. Through
the heroic efforts of Manager Goodall
and a large force Of miners who la
bored sill Saturday night and yester-
day, the fire at the Fremont mine,
where eleven miners were entombed,
was put under control. .
The Longmouth drift, where the
fire ragged, is being explored by a res
cuing party Of miners, who were low
cred into the saaft yesterday after
noon. There is some hope that the
eleven workmen have found shelter
in one Of the side drifts and may still
be alive.

IRON HAND BACKS cZAR's RULE.
Premier SoIyp,n Reads Declaration of
Government to Duma.

Premier SoIypin Reads Declaration of
Government to Duma.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 1.-The decla.
ration of the government. read by Pre-
mier Stolypin before the duma yester-
day was received with dismay by the
Octoberists and the Constitutional
Democrats, and with open exultation
by the members of the Right party.
The keynote Of the address was re-
iteration of the idea of the autocratic
power of the emperor as the sole
guarantee of security and welfare in
an era o. disorder. The announce
ment also was made that the duma
is expected to take its cue from the
administration in the matter of legis.
ton, and the premier outlined what
future legislation was expected. He
excoriated the radical parties as fos-
terers of crime and sedition, and said
their excuses would no longer be toll
Grated in Russia. This statement is
taken to show that the administra-
ton looks with disfavor upon any al
lance between the Octoberists and
the Constitutional Democrats.
The premier was constantly inter-
rupted by applause from members of
the Right, but at the conclusion of
his address there was scarcely a hand
clap from the O%ctoberists' ranks.

der of Joseph A. Walker nea Duran
go.
While no official intimation is given
of the sudden visit to Denver of the
chief, coming directly on the re-
ceipt Of evidence from Durango of a
conspiracy to murder Walker, it is be-
lieved to indicate nothing else than

Mr.. Wilkie is in Denver to confer
with Lucien C. Wheeler, special agent

lar purpose of going over the evidence
which has been gathered by the secret
service men against other parties
than Mason and yanderweide. the

WILL NOT HURRY REFORM.
AIdrieh Says Senate viii Take Its
Time on Financial Legislation.

lime on Financial Lc9to'~tioH.
washington, Dec. 3. - There Is a
hitch in the administration program
for prompt action to secure financial
legislation. Speaker Cannon adheres
to his plan for the immediate appoint
ment of the committee on banking
and currency, but the response which
was expected to be forthcoming from
the Republican leaders in the senate
with the bill to correct defects in the
financial policy of the nation promises
not to be forthcoming. Advices to
that effect came from Senator Aid
rich. chairman of the finance commit
tee Of the senate.
Mr.. Aldrich takes a view OF the sit
uation entirely different from that en-
.tertained by leaders of the administra-
ton and those members of the house
who have sought to start an early
program for action.
Sees No Need for Haste.
According 10 Senator Aldrich it will
be impossible to start action by the
senate before the holidays, and per-
haps not for some time thereafter.
The senator believes that the none
tary stress is about over, and that
cash payments o o will be resumed
everywhere under conditions that will
demonstrate that it has been want OF
confidence rather than want of great
err volume of currency that has caused
the trouble. In fact, Senator Aid
rich insists that before the winter is
over there will be an immense over
supply of currency, due to the stop
page of Industrial operations and gen.
eral curtailing of business on account
of the money tightness.
This will leave a large supply Of
currency in the banks, which supply
has been greatly augmented by the
operations of the treasury and the
banks during the last few weeks.
Senate Win Wait.
For these reasons Senator Aldrich
does not believe there should be haste
in passing legislation to provide for
emergency currency issues. He will
not indicate what he has in mind in
the way of corrective legislation and
he denies that he has prepared any
bill on the subject. He says nothing
will be done until the finance commit
tee is organized. as it must be. by the
filling of vacancies.
The close of the last week found a
confident feeling prevailing in bank
ing circles and at the treasury that
the financial situation of the country
will 500 resume it's normal state.

Washington, Dec. 1. - Senator ].
B. Foraker made 1t clearly known yes
terday that he will contest the Ohio
delegation to the Republican national
convention with MI. Taft. This deci-
sion is contained In a letter Of Con-
rad j.. Matters, vice president Of the
Ohio Republican league, who for
warded Mr.. Foraker a copy of the
resolutions adopted by the advisory
and executive committee of the league
indorsing Mr.. Foraker for the sena-

day.
Defends His Course.
He defends his course in relation to
the passage OF the railroad rate bill
and insists that the necessity of the
railroads of the country to spend mil
lions of dollars annually in increasing
their facilities makes this a bad time
to hamper the roads in any unneces-
sary way by Legislation.
Senator Foraker says he is gratified
by the Endorsement of the committee
at this time because II is a fat re-
buke to the. suggestion that the Office
Of United States senator is to be strip
ped of all the real honor attached to
it by making it's incumbent a mere
