 Of course, ordinary government bonds for which there is no market, excepting that of the national banks, and which in order to make that market must have term of years to run before the option of the government to redeem begins, were not available for the great majority of those who have withdrawn currency from the banks.

HUNDRED MILLION
 HAS BEEN SPENT
 ON PANAMA CANAL
First Report of Commission Since Army Engineers Took
 Charge of the Work

SPOKANE, Wash, November 27.--
 Full details of the work done on the Panama canal during the fiscal year of 1907, with showing of what had been accomplished since the project has been in American hands, was disclosed in the annual report of the isthmian canal commission, made public today. It is the first report made of operations on the isthmus since the construction work has been in charge of the army engin- eers.
 Aside from the $50,000,000 paid the French company and to Panama, an of $4S,2s5,11O has been ex- pended by the government on the pro ject adopted by congress and which was estimated by the board of consult ing engineers to ultimately cost $139,- 705,200. This did not include santa tion and expenses of the zone govern ment and waterworks, sewers, paving in Panama and Colon, and the equip ment of the Panama railroad.
 There is no reference to the proposi- tion which was brought forward to extend the width of the locks to 110 feet, so as to accommodate without difficulty an extreme breadth in the development of shipbuilding. This will be made the subject of special com from the commission.
 A strong position is taken favorable to the continuation of the policy of doing the work by hired instead of contract labor, a step at one time seri- ously considered by the administration, and many arguments are presented to justify the commission in its conclusion that the canal can be built better,

INSTRUCTIVE OBJECT LESION
Treasury Dejartment Again Demon
 strates Ability to Meet Emergencies.

By the end of the week the country should have had as instructive an ob- ject lesson as any made possible here tofore by transactions of the treasury department. National bankers in the past have been swiftly taught lessons of great value to them by the manner in which the treasury department has met emergencies. In the spring of 1881, after the national bankers had ex- pressed their dissatisfaction with the re- funding bill, passed in the last weeks of President Hayes administration, by retiring circulation aggregating nearly thirty millions in a few weeks, the sec retary of the treasury, Mr. Windom, taught them 9 lesson by calling the en- tire issue of bonds while at the same time offering to permit bankers to re- tain them provide they would accept rate of interest which was one-half of l per cent less than the interest named in the refunding bill. Thus in that great manner that great issue was
 
 that it is inexpedient to attempt to force the hand of the government, es- pecially at the time of crisis.
 Again, in 1879, Secretary Sherman made it apparent that the people of the United States would gladly invest in government securities if these were is- sued in small denominations. That at tempt to float a large popular loan to facilitate the resumption of specie pay ment failed of success solely because the machinery for getting it into the hands of the people was not perfected. Twenty years later Mir. Vanderlip, as- sistant secretary of the treasury, passed a loan of two hundred millions directly from the treasury department into the hands of the people, without entailing any other expense than clerical charges, express charges, stationery and tele- graph tolls.
 No one who has had experience with depositors in various institutions, na- tional banks, trust institutions or saw ings banks, who, through fright, have withdrawn their deposits, and hoarded them, has failed to observe that these timid persons are very anxious to be rid of the responsibility, and some of them have been tempted to exchange their currency for cashiers checks, which, in some instances, they have de- posited in their safe deposit vaults, thinking these checks more secure there than if placed to their credit in any bank. Many of the r rmanent guests at hotels have paid their charges, some times as far ahead as three months, thinking that good way to take care of portion of their withdrawn cur rency. Others have searched the mar ket, with intent to buy odd lots of good securities.
 So it has been apparent that if there were any security, easily obtained, car rying fair rate of interest, and having behind it unimpeachable credit, much of the hoarded currency would speedily find it's way to the places where cur rency could be exchanged for that se- curity. Very likely, Secretary Cortel- you, upon the occasion of his most recent visit to this city, was informed

cheaper and more quickly by the gov ernment.
 As bearing on the question of the suitability of the foundation for the proposed lock sites, the report quotes from the conclusions of the board of consulting engineers, who made per sonal examination of the material at the lock sites and which found that all locks of the dimension then proposed (lS5-foot level canal) would rest on rock of such character that would fur nish safe and suitable foundation.

Peerless Leader Tells of Demo- cratic Thunder Appropriated by President Roosevelt,
ENUMERATES DOCTRINES
 THAT WERE STOLEN
And Tells of Others that RooSe- welt Has Fought Shy Off, Where Party Leaders Have Failed to Follow President,

WASHINGTON, D. C., November 27. W. J. Bryan was tonight rendered a banquet and reception by the "United Democrats of the District of Colum- bia." Five hundred democrats partook of $3 plate dinner and more than double that number participated in the reception and the feast of oratory that followed. Bryan's subject was "The Point of View" and his speech con- sisted of illustrations of difference in the point of view from whoch a ques- tion is examined. Before taking up a serious presentation of the subject, he spoke word in defense of the demo- cratic donkey.
 "The donkey," he said. "is really a better emblem than the elephant, for he is resident of every country and everywhere he is saving people, The elephant, on the other hand, is only found in certain attitudes and is seldom seen except on dress parade"
 After dealing with the charge that the republicans are stealing democratic thunder, he proceeded to point out the things which the president has bor- rowed, saying:
 Is Not Followed by Party
 "The president has advocated rail road regulation, which is democratic doctrine, but he has not gone as far as the democratis would have him go, and the republican leaders are not willing to go as far as the president goes. He has taken some steps toward the en- forcement of the law against trusts and in this respect he followed democratic doctrines, though he has not prosecuted all trusts and has not recently made any effort to secure additional antitrust legislation. Here, too, the republican leaders don't support the president s position. The president advocated the income tax, and this is democratic, but none of the leaders of his party have yet attempted to carry out the recon

The Red Prophet of Cold

One of the rarest birds to New Eng land is here prophesying cold, hard, winter. It is the red poll, member of the big junco family of birds. Only in the most severe weather does the ed-headed bird venture from the frozen lands of the north, and when it does it always means a cold, severe winter. There are several flocks of the birds in the Fells, and bird lovers, glad to get a chance to watch their habits, are closely observing them.-Boston Rec ord.

mendations on this subject, and Secre- tary Taft, whom he has designated as heir apparent, is not in favor of in come tax at this time. The president recommended arbitration as a means of settling labor disputes, and this doctrine was taken bodily from the democratic platform, but it seems to be so unpop- ular with republican leaders as other democratic doctrines.
 Here are four policies which the president has indorsed and which are distinctly democratic, as they were be- ing urged by the democratic party from five to twelve years before the president said word in their favor. It is a sig nifcant fact that they are the very things that have given him his popu- larity.

"There are, however, several demo- cratic doctrines which the president has not indorsed. He has not yet indorsed tariff reform, although the sentiment is growth gso rapidly that Taft admits that reform is necessary. The president has indorsed the election of senators by direct vote of the people, although this democratic reform is so popular that the house of representatives de- clared for it five times by nearly q unanimous vote. The president has not recognized the right of the Filipinos and to promise ultimate independence, al though the democratic position on the question has been vindicated by expert ence.

had come to attempt his life been sue
cessful in his mission one thrust from
that vulgar kitchen knife which the
lad concealed would have shattered all
the glories whose fashioning had Caused
such rivers of blood to fow. He re-
solved upon the divorce of Josephine.
He would take as his wife princess
and found a dynasty. Whom should
he marry? Should it be a princess Of
the Russian royal house or a princess
Of another? He slept in the palace Of
the man whom he had but newly re-
conquered, the emperor Of Austria, and
slept, as fate would have it, in the very
room in which the heir for whom he
prayed was destined to die Under the
roof Of the son Of the Caesars he re-
solved to marry that mans daughter
a little while earlier she had heard
that the tide Of battle had turned
against the French and had written
to her father: Eve have heard with
great JOY that Napoleon was present
at the battle which was lost. If he
would only lose his head as wellr'
The writer Of the words became, ten
months after the French troops entered
Vienna as conquerors, the bride Of the
man whose death she now wished.
She was the granddaughter Of Marie
Antoinette, and by his marriage to her
Napoleon believed it would be the sal
vation of France. Z man wiser in the
matter than himself had pointed to q
Russian marriage, foreseeing renewed
hoStilities with either Austria or Rus
sia. Napoleon, he said, knew his way
to Vienna; he doubted whether he knew
the road to st. Petersburg. Napoleon
chose to find, as he afterward said,
that the marriage was but an abyss
strewn with flowers. The marriage
led inevitably to the calamitous Rus
sian campaign and to the breakup Of
his empire, His ruin began with his
marriage to the princess who was to
be the mother Of his child. All France
acclaimed the union with joy, which
was eclipsed only by the birth Of the
heir-St. James Gazette.
