YOUNG LADY SUICIDES.
Act Probably Prompted by Acuta ln
dlgesdow and Sunstroke.
Roseburg, Ore., Nov. 6. Early
this morning the lifeless form of Mlas
Lillian Farrar was found by her
younger sister, Miss Emma, suspend
ed from a pear tree about 60 yards
from the family home In the Bushey
addition to this city, having evident
ly been dead for several hours. She
was the daughter of Mr. F. H. Far
rar, superintendent of the Umpqua
Water, Light & Power Company, and
was a bright and highly esteemed
yonng lady. She would have bevel
20 Tears of age on December 17, 1904.
The young lady had been a sufferer
and under treatment for acute Indi
gestion for some time past, and had
eaten but very little of late. She
suffered a severe sunstroke In Kan
sas City about seven years ago, and
at times since suffered with severe
headache, the attacks sometimes
lasting for weeks. Tut no signs of
despondency were noticed, which
would lead to a temporary mental
aberration ending in this terrible
manner.

PANAMA
IKING
SING PROTEST
Claims Governor Davis Has

a ma.
Washington, D. "C, Nov. 6. The
full text of the protest made by the
Republic of Panama against the
present administration of affairs in
the canal zone has been given out
in Panama and has just reached
Washington. It is in the form of a
letter written by Minister Obaldls to
Secretary Hay under date of August
11-
Charges Usurpatioa.
In the letter Obaldls charges Gen
eral Davis, governor of the zone, with
unwarranted usurpation of authority
ana violation of the provisions of
the Hay-Varilla treaty. He avers
that Davis proceeded on the untena
ble assumption that the United
States has acquired absolute sover
eignty over the canal strip. This po
sition he assails vigorously.
He urges not only the suspension
of objectionable regulations, but the
negotiation of a new treaty which
will more clearly define the trtj;hl
of the republic and bwler protect
her IntereBtB.
The letter interprets the treaty as
merely giving the United States
lease of the territory, while the
rights of Panama to the canal -strip
remain fixed and unalterable.
W ill Main Panama.
The minister asserts that the .levy.
lug of duties and establishment of
postoffices by the United States will
result practically Jn the commercial
ruin of Panama.
The protest closes with an appeal
to the secretary to suspend the ob
jectionable regttlaMons imposed by
Governor Davis until a complete .and
satisfactory agreement scan ;he
reached by the two governments.
