Washington, Nov. 17. — Diplomatic precedent is ngaln turned topsy turvy in the Panama situation.

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.
