WILL PERMIT NO FRAUD.
Uncle Sam Tells Panama Elections
Must Be Conducted Fairly.

Washington, June 11.-Probably by
way of preparing the public mind for
active Intervention in Panama, to pre-
vent electoral frauds and ensure free
expression of the will of the people
at the polls. the war department to-
day made copies of correspondence
that has been exchanged between our
government and that of Panama.
On May 12 last Secretary Taft wrote
President Amador that he had received
petitions which he believed to be cor
roborated. showing that fraud was
about to be perpetrated in the coming
election and that President Roosevelt
would not permit Panama to pass INTO
the hands of any one so elected. Sub
seuuently the Panama government
agreed to submit to an inquiry at the
hands of a commission appointed by
this government and that commissiap
is now at work.

IA YEAR or sIa VINTAGE.


Ninety per cent Of the coinage by
the United States Ia the fiscal year
Of 1908 consisted Of gold eagles, a
coin which probably not one In q
hundred people sees as often as once
q year. Altogether the coinage OF
the country comprises seventeen diff
ferent varieties. seven of which we're
for the Philippine Islands in pesos and
centayos. ana one of which of the
same denomination was for account
OF the Mexican government. The
number OF pennies turned out ayerag-
ed a little less than. one for each
fnhabltant.
The total coinage for continental
United States was $215,714.S2s. This
has been one Of the most active years
Ia the history Of national minting.
OF this amount sl79,2Ss,SS7 were IN
gold and sl6,5S2.47 in silver or about
the ratio OF one OF silver to twelve
Of gold. The coinage for the Philip
pine Islands included more than
100000 pieces valued at s1S,121.S25,
or more than the total silver coinage
for the United States.

The boast OF the Republicans that
their policies have carried the country
safely through the panic. and that bust
ness is rapidly reyiving, does not seem
TO agree with the facts. For instance
the United states Cast iron Pipe
Foundry company, known as the pipe
trust has Just made it's report TO It's
stockholders which shows very dis
appointing results. The president Of
the company says in his report:
During November, 1907, business
absolutely stopped; the, company did
not lose is business. There was no
business.
when there was added TO this
natural condition the depression which
was caused BY the panic. the result
was a stagnation such as has never
been known IN the history of the cast
iron pipe business In this country.
Not only was there cessation Of busi-
ness and sharp fall in prices in
November, hut there was a declining
market ell through the winter and
early spring months"
But the report tries to encourage
the stockholders although no dividend
is declared even on the preferred
stock, by saying that with the open
ing of spring businesslhas improved
II need hardly be said that but very
small orders would be an improve
ment over the entire cessation Of
business reported.
The other branches OF the steel ard
iron business, although not making
quite as disastrous a showing, are
nearly in the same nx Yet the Re
publican platform boasts that Republi-
can policies have protected the bust
ness OF the country.

ARE WE INSULAR
OR A TERRITORY?
Question Raised and Taken
Under Amusement by
Dole.

a plea was fled in the United States
District Court yesterday which raises
the issue of the status of Hawaii in its
relation to the sovereignty of the
United States. In effect the issue
raised is whether Hawaii has the status
of a Territory such as New Mexico or
Arizona or that of the Philippines or
Porto Rico.
The question was argued with such
force that Judge Dole dismissed the
jury and took the question under con
sideration.
The issue was raised in the case of
Manuel Perez and Augusta Walsh, in
dicted under the Edmunds Act. A plea
of previous acquittal was filed by J. A.
Magoon, in which it was alleged that
these defendants were prosecuted for
the same offense in the District Court
last April and were acquitted May s..
The point of law raised was whether
there are two sovereignties in Hawaii
or only one. If there are two, as in a
State or in a Territory, an acquittal in
the courts of one jurisdiction, as State
or Territorial courts, is not defense
in the Federal jurisdiction where the
same act is an offense by the laws of
EACH But if this is not a full Terri
tory, if the status here is as in the
Philippines, where there is in fact only
one sovereignty and one jurisdiction,
then an acquittal, even in the police
court, is a bar to prosecution in any
other court of that sovereignty or
jurisdiction.
The. case was set for trial, but when
this plea in bar was fled Judge Dole
dismissed the jury until two O'Clock
while he heard argument on the ques-
ton. A number of apparently strong
cases were presented in support of the
plea, though other cases, apparently as
conclusive, were presented against it.
At two o'clock Judge Dole dismissed
the jury for the day while he took the
matter under advisement.
The suggestion was made in the
course of the argument that if there
is only one jurisdiction and sover-
eighty, that of the United States, and
the Circuit and District Courts are a
part of the Federal judicial machinery,
then indictments in the Territorial
courts ought to conclude, ''against the
peace and dignity of the United States
of America, -
