THAT LOT OF Called by Republic of Panama for Monday. Unseasonably mild weather is making it possible for farmers to secure much'late grain and cotton that seemed doomed by early frost; but, on the other hand, trade is dull in heavy wearing apparel, fuel and many lines that should now be vigorous.

Berlin, Nov. 7.—The German office has authorized a statement to the effect that Germany approves the action of the United States in recognizing the independence of the new Republic of Panama. On the arrival of the vessel hefe the government demanded that the cargo intended for Puerto Plata and Samnna be landed at this port.

The Kenrsarge Is one of tbe principal gold mines of tlie state and is considered very valuable. It is operated by the Alder- Mining company. Tribute is also paid to the line of the army for Its service in connection with telegraph construction in Alaska. Paris, Nov. 7.—The news that the United States had recognized the new Republic of Panama favorably impressed French official circles. The government has now definitely decided to follow suit, provided Panama guarantees the maintenance of the rights of the French Panama Canal Co. and the protection of French interests. General Greely says efforts are being made, with prospects of success in 1904, to establish communication by wireless telegraphy between St. Michael and Nome, across Horton sound, a distance of 108 miles. The general says the maintenance of the Alaskan telegraph lines will necessarily entail a heavy burden on the signal corps and on the garrisons in Alaska, and he recommends that the four companies of the line stationed at Forts I.isoumb, Egbert, Gibbon and St. Michael be Increased to 100 men at the earliest practicable date. At about 5 o'clock In the morning fire was discovered issuing from the tunnel house on tunnel No. 1. PEOPLES STORE Try a Case. Minister Powell Acits Promptly. Insolvencies were unusually numerous in October, with an abnormally heavy Indebtedness, both as to mercantile and fiduciary concerns. In strictly commercial lines there were 1,080 suspensions. with liabilities of $18,387,507, compared with 903 failures for $10,- 851,534 in the same month last year. Mr. Powell saw the president and argued that, since the government of Santo Domingo had not advised the foreign legations of any blockade, it could not prevent the Cherokee from entering the ports of Puerto Plata and Samana end Insisted that the enrgo should be landed at its destination. The president in reply reiterated his demand that the Cherokee's cargo be landed at Santo Domingo, but this Minister Powell refused to permit and declared he would hold the government responsible should any violent action be adopted toward the Cherokee. At the time the flames were discovered the timbers in the tunnel were ablaze. How the fire originated is not known, but at the first alarm all the miners, carpenters and laborers, some 170 in all, hastened across the gulch to aid in subduing tbe flames. Suupr- Intendent R. B. Turner, whose temporary quarters are high on the hill across the right fork of Alder gulch and a short distance from the burning tunnel house, at once went to the scene and assumed direction of affairs, entering the tunnel through the fire and smoke to give warning to the entombed miners and to aid In their escape. Near the mouth of the=-tunnel they stumbled over the derttl body of John Tobln, who evidently had made an effort to escape, but was driven buck by the flames and smoke. They carried the body to the surface and once more entered the workings to rescue their comrades if possible. According to the story of a miner, Hurley by name, he, with Turner and another man, entered the mine behind him, but descended through the air shaft. Hurley was the last of the three to descend. After going down some distance through tbe air shaft Hurley heard a cry and then thuds, as of bodies striking the timbers, followed by a smothered splash In the water. Brave Attempt at Rescue.

Paris, Nov. 7.—The news that the United States had recognized the new Republic of Panama favorably impressed French official circles. The government has now definitely decided to follow suit, provided Panama guarantees the maintenance of the rights of the French Panama Canal Co. and the protection of French interests.

Insolvencies were unusually numerous in October, with an abnormally heavy Indebtedness, both as to mercantile and fiduciary concerns. In strictly commercial lines there were 1,080 suspensions. with liabilities of $18,387,507, compared with 903 failures for $10,- 851,534 in the same month last year. Mr. Powell saw the president and argued that, since the government of Santo Domingo had not advised the foreign legations of any blockade, it could not prevent the Cherokee from entering the ports of Puerto Plata and Samana end Insisted that the enrgo should be landed at its destination. The president in reply reiterated his demand that the Cherokee's cargo be landed at Santo Domingo, but this Minister Powell refused to permit and declared he would hold the government responsible should any violent action be adopted toward the Cherokee. At the time the flames were discovered the timbers in the tunnel were ablaze. How the fire originated is not known, but at the first alarm all the miners, carpenters and laborers, some 170 in all, hastened across the gulch to aid in subduing tbe flames. Suupr- Intendent R. B. Turner, whose temporary quarters are high on the hill across the right fork of Alder gulch and a short distance from the burning tunnel house, at once went to the scene and assumed direction of affairs, entering the tunnel through the fire and smoke to give warning to the entombed miners and to aid In their escape. Near the mouth of the=-tunnel they stumbled over the derttl body of John Tobln, who evidently had made an effort to escape, but was driven buck by the flames and smoke. They carried the body to the surface and once more entered the workings to rescue their comrades if possible. According to the story of a miner, Hurley by name, he, with Turner and another man, entered the mine behind him, but descended through the air shaft. Hurley was the last of the three to descend. After going down some distance through tbe air shaft Hurley heard a cry and then thuds, as of bodies striking the timbers, followed by a smothered splash In the water. Brave Attempt at Rescue.
