Perkins, of California, will not be ac
corded more than two members on com
merce. While Senator Mitchell has hopedfor an
appointment to this committee, he has
not made a specific request to that effect.
In fact, says ho feels he will be Justly
treated, and will take what is accorded
him by the special committee.
In a way. Senator Foster is pledged to
work as earnestly in behalf of appropria
tions for Oregon rivers and harbors as for
those of his own state, and especially for
the improvement of the Columbia River,
from its mouth to the head of navigation.
Harder Work for Hermann.
Recognizing the fact that Foster is to
secure the assignment to the committee,
the Oregon delegation has redoubled Its
efforts to secure the appointment of Rep
resentative Hermann on the river and har
bor committee of the House, and to that
cad today called on Speaker Cannon and
reinforced their request continued In a
recent letter. Speaker Cannon was non
committal, however, and left the delega
tion in the dark as to his Intentions.
Later in the day. Representative Jones,
who also aspires to this place, called to
presont nis case to the Speaker. He, too,
was given no positive assurance, but said
afterward he was well pleased with his
interview; in fact, somewhat encouraged.
The appointment of Foster on the Sen
ate committee -will be urged against
Jones In the House, but this will be met
with the showing that California now has
a representative on both the Senate and
House committees, and that in the past
Oregon was so recognized.
It is understood that Senator Foster, as
a member of the special committee, will
endeavor to have his colleague wade a
member of the committee on finance, but
this he cannot do, as Ankeny is a new
man, and the importance of the commit
tee is such that only men with a term of
service behind them are appointed to its
vacancies. Penrose, of Pennsylvania, is
believed to be slated for the place to
which Ankeny aspire
Senator Foster's position on the special
committee gives him an influence with his
fellow-members he has never before pos
sessed, and he Is now in position to place
many Senators under obligations to him.

WAGES GENERALLY INCREASED
Census Bureau Makes a Report for
Ten Years Ending in 1900.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12,-The Census
Bureau today promulgated a report on
TtSf3 of emDl0'e8 1" manufacturing es
tablishments in the United States. From
the actual payrolls of 720 establishments
PlJZin8 in 1M0 about .WO employes.
M different occupations in 34 industries
have been tabulated. In the cotton man
? Ine lndustry. between 1890 and
1900, wages of both men and women in
creased In the New England States, but
showed little change In the South. There
was an increase in wages of both men and
women in the woolen industry In New
J-llfclUJIU.
In the agricultural-implement occupa
tions, invoking mainly the Central States,
increases of wages have occurred with
few exceptions. Wages in furniture fac
tories declined in the illddle States.
Those of cabinet makers remained sta
tionary, and finishers slightly increased.
Slight Increases are reported in the lum
ber and planing mills in Central and Pa
cific States, and In carriage and wagon
factories In the Middle and Central
States.
In the foundries and metal-working in
dustry, wages are highest In the Pacific
States and in the Southwest. The re
turns from Iron and steel manufacturers
Include blast furnaces, puddling furnaces,
rolling mills, bessemer converters and
open-hearth furnaces. In the Middle
States, the middle half were paid at rates
from ?15 to $27 in 1900, and from $15 to $2S
in 1S90 for two weeks' work; in the South
ern States, the middle range at both
periods is from $13 to $26; and In the
eniraj states, at both periods, the rates
are about the same, the middle half rang
ing from $21 to $30 in 1900. and from $21 to
$31 In 1S90. Wages in shipyards decreased
in the New England and Pacific States
increased in the Middle and showed little
change in the Central States.
Wages In breweries Indicate an Increase
during the decade, and In many establish
ments working time was reduced and the
rates per hour show a much greater in
crease than the weekly rates.
Cigar factory wages are considerably
higher in the Middle States.
Clothing factories Indicate a decrease for
men -and a less marked decrease for
women. An Increase Is reported In the
printing industry.
New Governor of Colon Says Colom
bia Can Never Get Panama Again.
COLON, Nov. 12. Porfiro Melendez, the
new civil and military Governor of Colon,
interviewed today by the Associated Press
correspondent, expressed his full realiza
atlon of what Panama owes to the United
States, calling that country "the new
republic's powerful and generous god
mother." General Melendez said:
"Panama will be able to raise between
5000 and C000 troops, partly armed, in case
necessity arises to resist a Colombian
attack, but I do . not believe that any
such necessity will ever arise."
Regarding the mission of General Reyes,
uu;mur -ueienaez saia:
"A telegram has been received by the
Government of Panama that Ronnni
Reyes Is coming to the Isthmus in the
hope of saving Colombia's honor, and Is
ready on behalf of the Colombian gov
ernment to promise Panama all conces
sions and consideration. The Panama
government, however, has answered that
unless General Reyes comes ready to rec
ognize the new republic, and is accredited
to It as the Colombian envoy, he will not
be received."
Governor Melendez further said ho
would arrest General Reyes on his arrival
here unless he immediately accepted
Panama's stipulations. The General Is
due to arrive at Barranqullla at the end
of this week, but Governor Melendez
thinks he will not proceed to the Isth
mus.
The Gox-ernor said It tms imnotHi
for Colombia to send troops overland to
the Isthmus, because of the physical con
dition of the country. It is apparent
that United States warships will not per
mit any movement by sea of armed
fo: -is. Governor Melcndaz tried to send
2o armed men to Porto Bello, but they
were stopped by the United States gun
boat Nashville and compelled to return.
A schooner loaded with Panama troops
was sent yesterday to Bocas del Torro
but they went unarmed. '
Iso news has vet been received here of
-m uneinpt on tne part of Colombia to
move troops to the Isthmus. Shduld such
an attempt be made" by sea, the United
States naval commanders would inform
the commanders of the transports that
the troops would not be permitted to
land at Colon. The wnrsWnc -

rled on with complete success, and the
unanimous feeling throughout the district
of Panama in favor of the new govern
ment Is far beyond what Its promoters
anticipated when making their prepa
rations for the memorable event of No
vember 3.
The successful execution of all the de
tails of the secession plan show that the
work was that of minds masterful in such
matters and rarely known In South Amer
ican revolutions. The iminlclnjil nn
provincial laws and regulations which ex
isted under the government of Colombia
have been continued without any practical
change. With three or four excanMnnn
all the civil employes of Colon and its
neighborhood have taken the oath of al
legiance to the new republic and been
continued in office, those who refused to
take the oath being sent to Savanllla.
But for the new uniforms of the volun
teer soldiers of the young republic seen
on the streets of Colon and the Pana
man flag flying over the Town Hall, there
appears nothing in the daily life of this
place to Indicate a change of sovereignty.
