PANAMA DEMANDS AN ExPlANA-
TON ON THE PART OF THE
UNITED STATES.
Mr.. RA|NEY IS DENOUNCED
Representatives Speech Against ohai-
dia and Demand Of Senators for
Change in Recent Treaty Cause As
scmbly to Adopt Strong Resolutions
Regarding Matters at Issue.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The demand
ed treaty with Panama be amended,
has placed the state department in an
embarrassing position. without know
ing that any amendments were de-
sired, the Panama national assembly
ratified the treaty in its original form.
This action was taken on the very day
that Representative Rainey of Illinois
made his speech In the house de-
nouncing President Obaldia of Pana-
ma, and William Nelson Crom well,
counsellor of legation and financial
agent of Panama in this country a.
"filibusterers,' and buccaneers" and
declared that Obaldia was selected by
corrupt influences and represented the
worst elements of South American
politics. This speech aroused great
indignation in Panama, and according
to cable dispatches, the national as
sembly adopted strong resolutions de-
nouncing Mr.. Rainey and demanding
retraction from the United States.
While this situation was being dis
cussed on the isthmus the request
came from the American state depart
ment for amendments. This request
has been pigeonhoied and Minister
Arozmena, representative of Panama,
has been instructed to demand of the
United States some action in apolog,
for the insult to friendly neighbor-
ing republic

BILL PROVIDES FOR SEVERAL I'M
PORTANT CHANGES IN THE
PRESENT LAW.
BAD FEATURES CORRECTED
Proposed Statute Is Designed to Elim-
mate Certain Inequalities and ir-
reauIarities in the Administration Of
the eAct-Corporations Benefit by Al
terations Proposed.

Washington, Feb. 6.--Aftcr devoting
almost it's entire session considering
the subject, the house today passed a
bill making several amendments to
the national bankruptcy law. Mr.,
Clayton tAlabama) made a desperate
but unsuccessful attempt to secure the
repeal of the law, he and his support
ers claiming that it had served its
purpose. The bill is designed to cor
rect certain inequalities in the admin
istration of the bankruptcy law.
1t also provides that any monied
business or commercial corporations,
ing corporation. can file a petition in
bankruptcy, thereby eliminating the
discrepancies that have heretofore ex-
listed when some court decision barred
many corporations in one circuit that
would be admitted into bankruptcy
in another. The bill restores the
language Of the act of 1867 which has
been fully settled by decisions of the
courts. 1t provides further that in
any composition proceedings it will
not be necessary to have an adjudica
fected, thereby removing the stigma OF
bankruptcy that always attaches under
such circumstances.
1t prevents few creditors from
forcing, by involuntary proceedings, a
debtor into bankruptcy and then after
receiving secretly their additional COM
pensation, or otherwise adjusting their
affairse with bankers in order to ha 'e
the petition dismissed without the
knowledge of the other creditors, 1t
enables a trustee, with the consent of
the creditors to appear in their be-
half in proceedings in court connected
with his discharge, thereby lessening
the expense by cooperating it from the
whole estate 1t confers ancillary jur-
isdiction SO that all the assets of the
estate can Le n Nshalled substantially
in one court, thereby obviating the
filing of suits in different courts
where the property might happen to
lie. 1t provides also that If a creditor
has reasonable cause to believe that he
was receiving n preference that shall
be bar to the debtors discharge.
With practically no debate the mes
sage of the president vetoing the cen
sus bill and the bill itself were re-
ferred to committee for appropriate
action. At 4:43 p. m. the house ad-
journed.

The imposing procession, which was
over three miles long, moved to the
south.
The alingnment of the ships was
perfect and the sight was so impress

involuntary cheers.

For a distance of IL miles the fleet
stood to the south. Then, being clear
of Cape Tariga, the most southerly
point, and with nothing but the
broad Atlantic between them and
home, the flagship headed abruptly
to the westward, and in Indian file
the splendid fleet left the ancient
pillars of Hercules behind and steamed
through the straits and out to sea.
Looking from the rock of Gibraltar
the water separating the ships seemed
gradually to be obiterated as the dis

Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Wallace, Feb. 6.--Enraged because
ne had been thrown out of the River
side saloon three times this morning,
Thomas McDermott, known in Wal
lace as the "Sailor Kid" shot and
killed w. H. Wilson, one of the pro-
prietors Of the Riverside saloon, at
1925 o'clock this afternoon.
McDermott was arrested by Chief
of Police Adams as he walked out of
the saloon.
Wilson was sitting behind the bar
reading newspaper when the fatal
shots were fired. McDermott ap-
preached him, carrying a pistol in his
right coat pocket. you're a nice fell
low," said McDermott, with drunken
leer, and before Wilson could look
up from his paper McDermott fired.
The first shot penetrated the barten-
der's breast, the bullet piercing the
heart. Wilson fell headlong behind
the bar. AS the man dropped McDer-
mott cody leaned over the bar, and,
pointing the pistol at the PROSTATE
man, fired two additional shots Any
one of the shots would have been

years, and says that for three months

Three men were witnesses to the
murder.
McDermott states tonight that he
was drunk and remembers nothing of
the shooting. He claims Wilson

earlier in the morning, because he
tried to get a drunken friend to stop
spending his money and go home.

NEARLY LOSES LIFE
IN AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENT

Tampa, Fla, Feb. 6.-While re-
turning from Sutherland college,
where he delivered his lecture THE
Prince of Peace" William J. Bryan
came near losing his life. A big
automobile in which he was riding
threw tire on a bridge near Tar
pom Springs and plunged into the
trestle work, throwing the occu-
pants out.
Mr.. Bryan was on the side next
to that which struck the woodwork
and was jammed against a rail and
suffered considerable injury At
first it was thought his leg was
broken, but when he arrived at
Tampa an examination showed the
fact that the leg was only badly
bruised. Mr.. Bryan is scheduled to
appear at ST. Louis soon and at
Springfield, Ohio. on February u,
Lincoln's birthday, where he makes
the principal address. and it may
be that he will have to cancel these
dates. He is confined to his rooms
at the Tampa Bay hotel and suf-
fers considerable pain.

Travelled about As, 900 miles and
traversed about 400 degrees of latitude
and as many degrees of longitude.
Highly Pleased.
Rear Admiral Sperry, prior to the
departure of the battleships for Hamp-
ton Roads, expressed the greatest sat
isfaction with the results of the
made the following statement
This cruise marks an epoch in our
naval annals, for the fleet has found
itself-been welded into unity. An ag-
gregation of battleships irrespective of
the power and efficiency of the units
Is not a fleet in the highest sense of
the term until by long, faithful and
harmonious work on the part of the
personnel the spirit of the fleet has
been developed. That now has been
accomplished. The American people
have come to appreciate what 1t means
to have a fleet like this.
Lessons Are Many.
THE lessons of the cruise have been
many and it is no exaggeration to say
that the condition of the ships Is bet
ter today than when they sailed from
Hampton Roads in December of 1907.
During these IA months the fleet has
been practically self sustaining in the
matter of repairs. The officers and
men responsible for repairs have met
every test and the results prove that
the ships have been better cared for
than when they depended upon the
navy yards.
"Enistments in the navy certainly
will be stimulated by the general in
terest in this cruise and the splendid
opportunities afforded the men to see
the world. Cruises to foreign ports
