Course of the Panama Canal.

There is a somewhat popular delu- sion about the Panama canal-to wit, that the course from Colon, on the Caribbean or Atlantic side of the isth- mus, to Panama, on the Pacific side, is from east to west. Of course the At Iantic is at the east and the Pacific is at the west. but the isthmus is very crooked and at this point tends from a little south of west to north of east and Colon is actually farther west than Panama. As a result the canal runs from north-northwest to south southeast, end on reaching the Pacific one finds himself farther east than he was when he left the Atlantic. Queer, isn't it, to go westward by going east ward? But it's a geographical fact all the same, which few realize until they study the map.--New York Tribune

Canine Etiuuette.

In their relations one with another dogs have a keen sense of etiquette. Unless they are on very intimate terms they take great pains never to brush against or even touch one another. For one dog to step over another is a dangerous breach of etiquette unless they are special friends. It is no un- common thing for two dogs to belong to the same person and live in the same house and yet never take the slightest notice of each other. We have a spaniel so dignified that he will never permit another member of the dog family to pillow his head upon him. but with the egotism of a true aristocrat he does not hesitate to make use of the other dogs for that purpose Henry c.

the colonies bombarded their respec-
tive embassys, only to discover that
their ambassadors were q much cut
OF from communication with the out
side world as any one else.
Newspaper correspondents were
unable to get anything on to the
cable. AS II to taunt them, the CEN
sor permitted messages from their
offices, clamoring for news, to reach
the newspaper men but they were not
permitted to send out anything. The
messages which they filed were taken
to the war department in the palace,
where they were read for the informa-
ton they contained, by the army ON

Most Americans on Wednesday

Mrs. O'shaughnessy, II. as she was,
with nervous headache, served tea
on couch in the embassy drawing

assured the nervous strained women
who, with their children came to the
embassy for information or shelter.
Early in the afternoon OShaughnessy
decided It would be impossible to run
rescue trains to Vera Cruz under
American authorities. It was at this
point that Sir Lionel Garden, who had
arrived from Europe on the last regu-
lar train to enter the city. took
hand. He went to Huerta, and arrang-
ed with him to permit train of ref
ugees to depart. under the British
nag. The departure OF the train was
at 4 o'clock at the various
embassies. The hour was Be. for 6
o'clock. From every corner of the
city, Americans hurried to the station
in the tarpaulined "cochess and cur.
tanned taxicabs. The platforms were
filed with hooting Mexicans, held
back. at last by a reserve Of soldiers.
At .he last hour, word went about the
colony that 1t would be I'M

Americans returned to their homes

made this statement for the United
Press:
1.-THE Colorado coal strike could

tors agreed to conference with their
men. When the miners convention
met in Trinidad. September 26. the
first thing the delegates did was 20
ask the operators for a conference
to discuss grievances. The operators
refused and strike resulted.
Five Of seven demands Of the
miners are granted by state law. The
only big question at issue has been
recognition Of the union and .he
state law practically provides for
that. by stating that the men have the
right to belong to unions Thus the
Colorado miners are only fighting for
the enforcement. Of the state laws.
The influence Of John D. Rookie
Teller, IT.. has been thrown not only
against the miners demands, but
against their right to arbitrate their
demands. That influence is really
the controlling factor in the activities
of the operators and Rockefeller per-
sonally is thus directly responsible
for the failure Of the request that the
whole trouble be settled peaceabiy In

ais met at Jiminez today for a con.
