Most of the rubber and ivory nuts and
a good part of the cocoanut product are
obtained by trade with the rubber hunt
ers and the San Bias Indians up the
coast This picturesque commerce is
carried on largely from Colon by a
fleet of sailboats. ranging from little
one-masted dories to three-masted
schooners. The wild rubber is gathered
by Spaniarsis, who go far into the jun
giles by way of the rivers in native
cayucas. Wild rubber is brought by
them to the beaches. where it is boiled
and sold to the traders for from 40 to
As cents a pound. They, in turn. get
so to 20 cents a pound for it in Colon.
Panama has many other promising
products which have not yet won any
considerable place in export commerce
Thus, in Chorcha is produced cacao of
such superior quality that it brings
the price of $33 gold for a hundred
pounds. The coffee grown in the Bo-
auete district is considered the best pro-
duced in Central America.
A considerable quantity of mother

Finance Minister Ribot, in the same

say:
France will not lack resources to

the prolongation of hostiIities without
anxiety. The end of the conflict will
not depend on our resources.
Let France keep the faith she has in

Secretary Daniels Speaks at Keel.
Laying Ceremonies, Telling of
New Propulsion.

NEW YORK, October 15.-Secretary
Daniels in his address at the keel-lay-
ing ceremonies yesterday said that the
California was fttingly named, for
that state was the crown and climax of
the American pioneers achievement.
The uses to which electricity have
been put in these modern days are
well nigh countless" the Secretary
continued, but it seems significant that
electric propulsion for the modern bat
tleship is first to be installed upon the
splendid man-of-war whose keel we
are now about to lay. The electric drive
Is one of the latest results of the pto-
neer spirit in the utilization of electric
force. 1t is source of pride that the
American navy is initiating the move
ment for its use on battleships, and 1t
is significant coincidence that the
first dreadnaught upon which it Is to
be installed should be named after that
state of the Union where American pi-
oneering climbed to the highest point
of success.

discussed in all countries for several
years past, but the United States Is the
only nation SO far which has gotten
past the discussion stage and which has
demonstrated by actual test that elec-
trio propulsion is a success"
Mr.. Daniels then told about the tests
on the collier Jupiter. and he added this
comment and prophecy.

of wages. and what she has to report is
exceedingly interesting to the general

subject she comments, in part, as fol-
