pleased over tlie. assui'tioii that lie has
been acting under thu advice of (!ov-
ernor Thornton of New Mexico in his
ell'orts to prevent prize, lighting in tho
Territory. Mr. Ciitron not only denies
that he has received the governor's
co-operation, but makes the direct
charge that the Uowrnor abutted
Dan Stuart In his ell'orts to pull off the
light.
Mr. Carton gave the following to
Ihe press: "The statement has been
published substantially that the action
taken by me on the prize lighting bill
was on the advice ami in. the request
of (Sovcriior Thornton. liovernor
Thornton never consulted with me,
never advised me nor requested me to
do anything in regard to that subject.
From information which I have re
ceived ri out New Mexico I believe
that liovernor Thornton. while
pretending that he would like
to stop the light, was actually
acting in collusion with Dan Stuart in
order to have the tight come oil'; had
advised Stuart that there was no law
in New Meico which would etiablo
hint or the authorities to stop the
ll'.'lit and substantially informed
Stuart that the tight inieht go on,
although he could not openly consent.
As soon as the bill had been .signed

"The situation in Kentucky." re

We are threatened with the loss of

Washington, Feb. lo A report has
been made to the Slate denartment by
United State Consul (ieneral Vlfqualn
at Panama, upon the business of the
Panama railroad and the prospects of
tho canal, lie shows that there is a
small but steady increase in the num
ber of American steamers anchoring
at Panama. They carry twice as
much cargo as all tlio other steamers.
In live years tho number of urnvals of
American vessels has Increased from
lifty-lho to eighty-one, while the ar
rivals of Knglish steamers in tlie same
time increased from seventy-two to
onlv eighty-four.
The consul general says the trade
across the isthmus would be much
larger if tlie railroad rates were lower.
Mr. Vifquain says: "Under a foreign
ownership and a foreign management,
the American corporation icnown as
the Panama Uailrnad company will
continue to thrive wiiuthcr there bo a
canal or not, irrcutlv to the detriment
of American interests, commercial and
international, inasmuch ns F.uropcan
tendencies seem bent, either for self
preservation or international ju'ilousy,
to undermine and destroy thu I'nited
States prestige in this part of tlio

will be a canal built within tho next

WANT NO HAIR CUT.

n llt'tolt In Corrii.
Yokoiiam . Fob. 1 (). Of the many
changes introduced in quick succession
in Corcii, the recent adoption of tho
Western method of hair dressing has
ultracted most attention. Tho king
recently issued a proclumrtioii urging
the saurilicu of the queues, and set the
example by having his own hair cut,
the prince royal following suit.
The proeliimation created conster
nation in both ollicial and private cir
cles. Tho minister of education re
signed and retired to his country home
when his protests m the innovation
weie disregarded. Many lesser gov
ernment ollleials also resigned
rather than sacrifice their locks.
Tho proclamation escited alarm
among the people at large, but at
oaoh of tho four gates of tlie
capital coip-tubles are posted to await,
the coming of country people audio
compel them to submit to the barbers,
who aro in waiting to cut their hair.
Western hats and coats aro generallv
adopted by thoe who Iums their
queues.
In the rural district tlie Corcans
have broken out into actual rebellion
at tlie prnclumulioii. Aliinv local gov
ernors have resigned their posts.owing
to their unwillingness to out off their
queues. Several hundred people have
tied to the mountains and as many
more are under arms, preparing to
attach thi: Corcati troops.
