Close to the shore Of Taboga island.
30 close, in fact, that they are con-
nected at low tide, lies a little, rocky,
wooded islet known as Moro. For
many, many years it was owned by a
Spanish family, the present repre-
sentative Of which Is a widow Of
small means. On MORO is a flowing
spring of excellent water, and n Of
the Pacific navigation companies de-
sired to acquire the islet as a water
ing station for it's vessels. The widow
was paid a fair price, and as a bonus
was given life passes for herself and
her children on the boats Of the com
pany, No ooner had the deal been
contaminated than the estimable lady
packed up her buds, stored her house
hold belongings and with her family
boarded one of the steamships for a
trip The journey was so pleasant
that they have been travelling contin'
ually on the company's ships ever
since, and the man who engineered
the purchase Of MORO is wondering
who got the best Of 1t.

Visits of congressional investigating
committees are no novelty to the peo-
pie who are making the canal. Neither
are they any pleasure. 1t is the gen
eral belief down there that these are
mere junkets, and it must be admitted
that the visitors often show a colossal
ignorance concerning the canal. Col

Atlantic division, one day spent hours
showing a congressman owe the Ga
tun locks and explaining 1t all to him.

lecture the lawmaker clasped his
hands behind him, gazed about and re-

Speaking of the blasting reminds me
that n of the very high up engineers
on the canal job is exceedingly afraid
of dynamite. He is also a strict dis
ciplinarian and does not allow the
workmen to loaf. Whenever one OF
the frequent dolby shots or small
blasts is to be fired, the nearest steam
shovel emits a series of short, quick
toots and the men scurry to cover. AS
soon as Mr.. Engineer appears in the
cut to see that the laborers are losing
no time, the warning whistles are
heard from steam shovels all along the
way and he speedily returns to his If
fee on the hill, leaving the %unproddet
workmen to resume their %leisurelI
gait.

Tourists focked to the canal zone
in such increasing numbers that the
Panama Railway company-which
means the United States government
decided to erect a new Washington
hotel in Colon to supplant the old hos
telry Of that name. The architect de-
signed a handsome four-story struc-
ture Of concrete and, to take full ad-
vantage of the cool breezes from the
Atlantic, provided in his plans for a
large roof garden and two dumb wait
ers running up to it. The builders made
the roof all right, and put in the dumb
walters, but when the hotel was near
ing completion some n discovered
there was no opening in the roof for
the aforesaid dumb walters. Tho nee
essary changes would cost several hun
dred dollars, and the government Of
fetal who passed upon the exQendi-
lures decided against making item as
the hotel already had cost moro than
had been expected. Consequently
those two dumb walters run up to the
ceiling of the fourth story and there
stop, while the roof garden, having no
service, remains unopened.

The Isthmus of Panama does not
belong to the English, never did, and
there are not many real E~nglishmen
there. Yet the presence of a large
number of British subjects-the ia
maican negroes-has forced on the in
habitants an English custom, that Of
vehicles taking the left side of the
road. Probably this is due to the fact
that most of the cab drivers are ia
maicans. All the people of that island
are intensely proud of being subjects
of King George, and they are tenacious
of such British customs as they know.
Every cabby in Panama and Colon
and their number Is legion-carries

Colon, C. Frequently the Off
Gals of the Republic of Panama

culed for the combination of stu
pidity and pemposity that governs
their conduct. Sometimes the rid
icule is not deserved, but often it is.
Some months ago an American resi-
dent of the city of Panama imported a
pair of riding boots from the states,
and in his manifest submitted to the
native customs authorities he so listed
them, with the price, $3.50. The paper
was returned to him with curt instruc-
lions to correct il. Not knowing how
he had erred, he consulted the customs
man and was told the boots must be
listed as two separate articles, thus

FRANCE DISPOSED TO KEEP HANDS OFF MEXICAN SITUATION Ambassador JuSserand Has Re-
 ceived No Instructions
 To Mediate

Washington Nov. 5-The French ambassador here, M. Jusserand, has received no instructions from his gov ernment to take steps towards media ton between the United States and Mexico, though the embassy would be the natural channel for such steps
 If the French government were to decide to use it's good offices at this stage, the usual procedure would be for Ambassador Jusserand to sound Secretary Bryan to first learn whether such oVertures would be faVorabIy re- ceived- The powers have been suffi- cient1y informed of the infexible de- termination of President Wilson to ac- cOmpIish the retirement of Huerta to assure that any proposal of mediation doubtless would be based upon that understanding and would be shaped toward composing the situation in a way that Huerta himself might be dis posed to accept. Some officials feel that other steps may be developed be- fore a tangible move might be made toward media ton.
 State department officials take the position that the action of the French foreign office in refraining from indi- eating whether it was disposed to mediate between Mexico and the United States is another evidence of policy of the United States in the Mexican situation.
 Secretary Bryan said of this Paris despatch:
 'tI the absence of official advices from the French foreign office, I am unwilling to comment.''
 France was among the first of the European powers to request the Uni ted States to defer action in the Mex ican situation until the Washington government had formulated and an- nounced it's policy.
 MT. Bryan, today, f1atly refused to discuss the Mexican situation in any of it's phases. Asked particularly about one published report that Gen eraI Huerta had made reply to a re- cent communication from the United States he refused to confirm or deny

ization and also to capture four city offices lost ground in nearly every ward The Republicans not only won the county offices by more than 30, GOO majority but increased their member ship in councils.
 The regular Republicans also elected their three county judges on the non- partisan ballot and got a sweeping victory in the fight for municipal judge, electing their nine candidates who were also on the non-partisan bal lot.
 The vote in the state for two supe- rior court judges came in slowly. The returns today showed that Judge John J. Henderson was reelected and the possibilities are that James Alcorn has won. Both are Republicans but were on the non-partisan ballot.
 Returns also showed that the pro posed $50,000,OO0 bond issue for good roads was strongly opposed in the state outside of Philadelphia and Pitts burgh. The fate of the loan is not yet known.

Then the water in the ditch was dropped a foot, so that the cover of ice made a protection for the stream. with an air space between the ice and the water.
