William N. Cromwell Roger T. Farnham, W. S. Harvey and Charles P. Taft.
 Long Bread Line. "Since the election of last November, he continued, under the shadow of the dome of the capitol a bread line appears daily, constantly increasing in length. If we permit the scheme of William Nelson Cromwell, Roger T. Farnham. Charles P. Taft and others to go through on the Isthmus of Panama, this government will have there a bread line containing 100000 people" If we permit the men who are attempting to steal and to appropriate to their own use the revenues of this republic, we place upon the United States the burden of caring for these people, he said.
 T do not charge that the gentleman who will be inaugurated President of the United States on March is party to this infamous scheme for robbing this little country His friendship for Cromwell, Farnham and E. A. Drake, as members of the board of directors of the Panama railroad, his continued indorse- ments of both Cromwell and Farnham, his interference on the Isthmus of Panama which compelled the election of a corrupt statesman, absolutely under the control of Cromwell, as president of that republic, all these things and other things for which the present administration is re- sponsible-made possible the signing of a contract by Obaldia which may bring to the gentlemen interested therein riches beyond the dreams of avarice. It will not be long, if this scheme goes through, before the campaign contributions made by some of the gentlemen interested in this enterprise will be returned a hun dred-fold." F
 Behind Treaties.
 MT. Rainey charged that MT. Crom- we'll and MT Farnham have been active ly engaged here for two or three weeks prompting treaties affecting Colombia and Panama pending before the Senate He said that if the plans of MT. Cromwell and his associates go through and if these treaties are confirmed there will be no revenue in Panama out of which to pay the million dollars or more indemnity to Colombia, payment of which is guaranteed by this country
 ''rhe United States government will be called upon to pay 1t all" he predicted, and if these plans for the spoliation of Panama proceed to a successful conclu- sion, 1t will not be long until immense burdens of a different character con- nected with Panama will be immposed upon our treasury.
 These patriotic gentlemen" said Mr. Rainey in conclusion, therefore, are be- ing permitted not only to rob the Re- public of Panama, but indirectly to rob the treasury of the United States, and in their efforts in this direction they have so far the complete cooperation and the active assistance of the present ad ministration, and of the next President of the United States"

yesterday afternoon by an overcharged
blast in the excavation for the GlmbeI
store, at Thirty-third street and Sixth ave
nue., which sent q shower of rock over the
street and through the windows in the
vicinity.
The men hurt we're William Carrel, OF No,
518 East Eleventh street, who had his skull
fractured, and Dominic Garari, Of Forty
sixth street and First avenue, who was
r%everely cut and injured internally. Both
were employed by the De8non Contracting
Company, which is making the excavation.
They were taken to Bellevue Hospital,
where DR.. Collucer said that Carrel might
die of his injuries.
The explosion sent a rain Of small stones
into Sixth avenue and the cross streets and
several persons were struck. A large piece
Of rock smashed o window in Branch b. OF
the Post Office, in Thirty-third street.
William Tobin, foreman Of the blasting
gang, was locked up in the West Thirtleth
street police station on a charge OF criminal
Negligence. He explained the force OF the
explosion by saying that the rock must
have been rotten, which would give greater
force to the charge.-I5id.
