The republics Of Panama and. Costa
.Rica are bristling up at each. other on
the verge of war over boundary dis
pute Of long standing. The territory
Of the province Of Costa Isl involved.
Costa Ricans have occupied. the terri
tory and assumed sovereignty. over il
The people of Panama are stirred and
are unwilling to submit to this alleged
encroachment on the part Of Costa
Rica and they are volunteering for SER
vice: in large numbers. Just what the
policy Of the Washington government
is has not fully developed though 1t is
given out that the United States Will
not interfere so long. as the belliger-
ents keep out Of the Canal zone. The
United States has eight thousand
troops in the canal zone and IS well
able to do whatever may be necessary
to make the belligerents behave them
selves. The war feeling aoppears to be
thoroughly aroused in, both, Panama
and Costa Rica.. Responsibility for. the
threatened conflict between Panama
and Costa Rica was placed on Costa
Rica i'm a statement issued in wash
ington Sunday by Ricardo ]. Alfaro,
Of Panama. Mr.. Alfaro declared that
Costa Rica was attempting to seize
by force territory that has been IN
possession of Columbia and Panama
since colonial times" Costa Rica,
said Mr.. Alfaro in crossing the Status
quo frontier line" and acting in
defense Of her course the Lroubet award
Of 1900, which gave the territory to
Costa Rica, "is most Unfair. If we
were to follow the present Costa Rica
methods" he added, I'VE would at once
occupy the rich and fertile valley be-
tween the -Sixaola river and Mona
Point, a territory over which there can
be no possible controversy or doubt in
asmuch as the Doubet award states
that the frontier line starts at Mona
Point But we don't want to- be incon-
sistent." Costa Rica, he said. accepts
the Loubet award in that part faVorlng
Costa Rican interests but rejects that
portion compensating Panama for the
loss of the northern province. "The
award has never been nulliied," he
declared. Its validity stands un-
touched. The Costa Ricans must take
it as 4 whole, and not such part as
fayors them, or else come to some un-
derstanding. or agreement dlHereht
from the. Prussian method of taking by
force what they think is theirs and re-
tanning also by force what belongs 10

The people of Yorkville are unan-
lmous in their appreciative approval
Of the intelligent action Of Mayor Hall,
the town council and the police in con-
nection with the mad dog incident OF
last Saturday. There was but one
thing to. be considered under the cir
cumstances and that was the welfare
Of the entire community. The town
council did all that could be; done un-
der the circumstances, and did, it
promptly. Because of the fact that
still other dogs besides those that have
not been reported may haye been bitten
unknownsto their owners, the precau-
tions prescribed by the town council
should be observed with the most
scrupulous care, and this, no doubt,
will be done.

they had been extorting usury In viola
ton of the laws, that made another
mighty howl, and these, along with
other acts Of the same general nature,
explain why the senate WOULD never
confirm the presidents nomination of
Mr. Williams for reappointment. The
big financial buccaneers Of the coun-
try had more power and influence with
the senate than did their solemn duty
to themselves and their country. But
there is something that is really anus
ing about this latest job on the part of
the comptroller. From the date of its
original enactment, the national bank
law has contained a provision requir-
ing the banks, in their published state
ments to make known the compensa~
ton received by their respective Off
GERS. Now. while. this is matter. of
no significance to the small country
banks whose officers as a rule earn
every cent they get and then some,
with the banks of the great. financial
centers like New York, Boston, Pitts
burg, Chicago, etc, it is different.
There it is common thing with banks
of fifty or a hundred million capital to
carry on their salary lists at tremend-
Gus figures, the names Of various big
grafters who do not q thing but allow
the use of their names as officers, and
help ,conspire to make Ehe. epha small
and the sheckel great as times and
circumstances seem to demand. It is a
mighty howl that these banks have set
up about the matter, and they have
taken the case to the courts. They
say that Mr.. Williams ought mot TO
have done this because nobody else has
done it,. and they object not so much
because Of the tendency to show, the
extent to which the earnings Of the
big banks are going out TO- grating
teaches on the body polite, as because
of the dissatisfaction that will, be
stirred up among clerks and employees
when they find how some big banks
that ought to be paying them more,
are paying less than. other big banks
Of smaller resources and smaller earn
ings. The small country banks have
not the slightest objection to the order
of Mr.. Williams and they are not rails
ing any kick abort it:

dicate any change of intention with reference to acreage and the low tenn peratures recently reported Tn the oeit are said to have damagd some early planted cotton in southern sections.
 The hope of increased exports has been encouraged by further confer ences between banking interests and southern shippers with reference to re- opninr of European markets, and re- ports of more favorable trade de- velopments in Manchester.
 Recent advances in bar silver have contributed to the better feeling in tho British goods trade. and while actual business has been restricted by the uncertainties of labor conditions pr.- vate cables report good orders pend- ing. These are expected to result in transactions should the calling off of the general strike today be promptly followed by a settlement of the coal mine troubles and meanwhile an in creased export business has been re- ported in the domestic goods market.
 The census report showing domestic mill consumption of 437,9 bales for March was a shade disappointing If anything and today's advices from Fall River said that mill curtailment was increasing. It is reported that the war finance corporation has approved loan to finance exports or SO,O0O bales to various countries. including Germany, and it is believed that the cotton is to be shipped by 2 CO., operative marketing organization c1 Mississippi.

CONSIDERABLE STRENGTH
 SHOWN IN WHEAT PRICES.
 BETTER FOREIGN OUTLOOK
By Associated Press

Chicago. April 15.--Wheat prices deyei- oped considerable strength today, anx- iety having lessened in regard to the British industrial situation. The finish, although nervous was at the same as yesterdays finish to 1hc higher with May $1.221s to $1.22&, and July, $1.oe to H.06A. Corn gained %c to Ac, and oats hc to Sc. Provisions closed unchanged to 15c up.
 Almost from the outset bulls had an advantage in the wheat market as a re- suit of new hopes that the labor crisis in Great Britain would be. quickly at an end Then came news from London tha. the strike of railway men and trans port workers set for tonight had been definitely countermanded. The market here at once made a sharp advance, with a much broader volume of buying on the upturn. Profit taking sales, how ever, assumed liberal proportions and th ere was a good deal of bearish com ment on the fact that the British coal miners strike was apparently to be main- tained. On the other hand, chances of freezing weather and of other adverse domestic crop conditions were against any further siashing of values. Besides some export business was noted-5O0,0o bushels to Germany and Belgium, some or it Canadian.
 Corn and oats averaged higher in sym pathy with wheat Rural offerings were meager. Europeans took Sp,000 bushels of corn.
 Provisions at first were dull and in clined to sag, but later responded to an improved export demand and to firm ness in the hog market.

SOMEBODY IS ALWAYS TAKING THE JOY OUT OF LIFE
EXCITED FURRY OF COVERING IN COTTON
 ON FOREIGN NEWS
A Steady Close Marked the Days General Market, With an Advance of Thirty to
 Forty-tWo Points
Rx Associated Press

New York, April 15-The more favor able turn in the British labor situation was followed by rather an excited furry of covering in the cotton market here this morning. July contracts sold up to 12. 75c or 43 points net higher, but trad ing became quiet later and there were reactions with July closing at 12.65c. The general market closed steady at net advance of % to 42 points.
 The opening was firm at an advance or q to 26 points on the higher Liver pool cables There were setbacks right after the call owing to conflicting Brit sh labor news, but the announcement that the call for strike of railroad men and transport workers had been can- celled, soon reached the ring. Liverpool bought here on the news, while there was active covering by Wall street and local shorts which sent the price Of May deliveries up to 12.1Sc and October to 13 21c or 42 to A points above last night s closing figures. Fresh buying for long account was restricted by reports of in- creasing New England mill curtailment however while there was some scattered southern selling on the advance, and af- ter the more urgent demand from shorts had been supplied, prices showed ten dency to ease off. Late cables rom Liverpool reporting belief there that the cdiilIB oll uie 6eheidi oei iNe soon be followed by a settlement Of the troubles in the coal mines failed to stin- ulate buying but reactions of some 10 to 15 points from the best were followed by slight late rallies on renewed covering May was relatively steady and spot houses bought that position against sales of later months, presumably to transfer hedges Exports for the day were 9,E5 bales, making s,913, 4s7 so far this sea- son. Port receipts 13,323. United States port stocks, 1,417,S70.
