A Good Peking, Nov. 17.—Developments In tlie Russo-Japanese negotiations are being awaited here with the keenest Interest by foreign diplomats, who are not sanguine of their success, because they are unable to see what terms are possible unless one nation distinctly surrenders.

Washington, Nov. 17. — Diplomatic precedent is ngaln turned topsy turvy in the Panama situation. President Marroquin of Colombia has sent to tlie president pro tem. of the senate a highly worded protest against the action of the administration in recognizing the independence of Panama. A Good Cigar; All of Russia's officials in the east declare that the domination of Manchuria is necessary for her wants and the safety of the Transsiberian railroad iiml that Russia must hold all that she has taken. What Mortal Children's Coats The action of President Marroquin in sanding a protest to the United Stutes senate 1b regarded by diplomats here as a serious breach of the proprieties, but the matter probably will not be dealt with in n harsh manner. Secretary Hay has not yet seen the protest, but will read it today, add unofficially the president may see it, but it is felt the communication might be entirely ignored if the government chose to do so in view of the extraordinary course taken in forwarding It. Advices from Japan are to tlie effect that the Japanese are getting bitter against England because they believe England is unfaithful to her alliance with Japan. Mr. Williams (Dem., Miss.), speakln# for the minority in opposition to the rule, declared it was about the rnosl drastic rule ever introduced in the house, saying it shut off all right to perfect the bill. He said the minority desired to offer an amendment whicli proposed to strike out the "double barreled" pledge contained In the bill. Applause from the Democratic side greeted the statement that the bill tear» down one-fifth of the schedules buill up by the Republicans. Could Ask A line of pretty goods in many attractive styles and colors; and all very neat. You can easily find something here to suit you. Prices range from $1 up. For More. It is noticeable that China no longer seeks British assistance regarding Manchuria, but consults only the American and Japanese ministers Instead of all the diplomatic corps as formerly. Stegmaier Brewing Co PEOPLE S STORE. It is a direct appeal for the senate to turn against the administration and undo what has already been done by the president—the recognition of Isthmian Independence and the warning to Colombia that she must not try to retake Panama.

If this was his purpose It has failed, for Senator Frye has merely turned the protest' over to the state department, where it will receive scant notice because it did not come through the proper channel for such communications— the state department.
