PANAMA CANAL BONDS.
Average of All Successful Bids Is
Above 104—New Yorker Takes
Bulk of Issue.
WASHINGTON, July 21.—The Panama
canal bonds, l'or which bids were opened
yesterday, will be awarded, among oth-
ers, to the following bidders:
E. T. Holmes, Palatka, Fla., $100,000 at
?1.0&.25; D. A. Morrison Jr., Jacksonville,
Fla, $-0,000 at $1.03; Fisk & Robinson,
Now York City, $3,000,000 at $1.01.23; Fisk
& Robinson New York City, $5,000,000 at
§1.04.10; Fisk & Robinson, New York City,
S"),1100,000 at $1.03.89; Palm tto National
Bank, (Vlumbus. -S. C.. at $1.03.877;
Samuel Birley, New York City, $2,1S9,650
at $1.03.87.
The last bid is for $.">,000,000. Should
any oilier successful bidder fail to com-
plete th'ir pure liases tin amount allotted
to Mr. Birley will be increased.
This brings the average of all the suc-
cessful bids to above $1.04.
Treasury officials asserted today that
one bid of $5,000,000 at $1.03.Kf>7 has been
misplaced. It v.sis found among bids of a
lower figure. The discovery of this bid
will fix the line between tlie successful
and unsuccessful bidders at about $1.0H.hu.
Thit» bid is one of several that were filed
by Samuel Birley.
Mr. Robinson of the firm <>f Fisk &
Robinson of New York, tlie largest, and
Mr. Ayres of the Merchants' National
Panic of Philadelphia, the second largest
bidder, had a conference at the office of
Secretary Shaw to.tyy in reference to the
price th' v would ask for such bonds as
they did not wish to retain for them-
sclvts, and $1.04.4, plus 3 per cent interest
after August I. was agreed upon. As the
bonds pay 1 per cent, the buyer will have
to pay 1 per cent interest after August 1.
In view of the fact that the Merchants'
National bank paid $1.04.30 for $1,000,000 of
the bonds, it is pointed out that the mar-
gin between the buying und selling price
is a narrow one.

RIDICULE REPORTS
OF AGITATION
No Plot Exists for Demonstration
Against Foreigners on In*
dependence Day.
INTERNAL PEACE OF
COUNTRY ASSURED
CITY OF MEXICO, July 21,-Sensa-
tional reports telegraphed from various
points on the border arid from St. Louis
regarding an alleged plot for a demon-
stration against foreigners In this coun-
try on September 16, which is Inde-
pendence Day, are calculated to give
unnecessary alarm to Americans hav-
ing interests in this country.
The internal peace of this country is
assured and there has been no confer-
ence of State Governors called at this
capital, as asserted, nor are there any
hotbeds of revolution at any point in the
country.
It is wholly untrue that preparations
are making for an anti-foreign demon-
stration on the part of the Mexican la-
bor unions. The labor situation is well
understood by the Government, which
protects workingmen in their legal rights
of organizing for mutual aid and the
promotion of their interests, hut does not
allow such organizations to transcend
the bounds of public peace and decorum.
A few agitators, who were for some
months in St. Louis, Mo., published a
weekly paper in Spanish devoted to
stirring up strife in this country and to
promote ill-feeling between Mexican
workingmen and foreign residents here,
are now reported to have sought shelter
in Canada. These men are known to the
authorities, and their motives well un-
derstood. Their propaganda has had no
effect on serious and intelligent labor-
ing men here.
Foreigners here have entire faith in
the ability of the Government to main-
tain peace and protect life and property.
Leading foreigners regret that such sen-
sational reports have been sent over the
United States, as causeless alarm has
been the result, to the prejudice of
many interests.
Tlie Mexican authorities ridicule the
alarmist reports and assure all classes of

EL PASO, Tex., July L'l. -Sr. Y. He
Mortanas, a confidential clerk of Cana-
nea's largest wholesalers and commis-
sion merchants, Esquarez & Martinez,
who is on his way to Chihuahua, speaks
very doubtfully as to the trouble at Ca-
nanea being entirely over. "My country-
men," said Sr. Mortanas, "are still de-
termined that they and not the foreigners
shall rule their own country, and the l'act
is that Colonel Kosteriitzky keeps them
'muy paciflco' at the present time, but
they strong-headedly insist that they will
join the general uprising on Sept. 16.
"However, this shall be done, so they
claim, in a peaceful but forceful manner
without any recourse to bloodshed."
When asked as to business conditions
at Cananea since the uprising of June 1,
Sr. Mortanas replied that business is
very quiet and especially along mining
lines and the situation was one of

GOOD RICE CROP.
Rice Land This Year Will Yield Fif-
teen Sacks to the Acre.
F. f.. Hamilton, one of the largest rice
growers in Texas, was here yesterday.
He owns a riec plantation along the rice
canal at Anahuac, forty miles north of
Galveston. There are 10,000 acres of rice
growing along the canal and within a
radius of fifteen miles in that vicinity
there are 20,000 acres.
The recent rains came Just in time to
save the rice crop, he said, and the crop
is in good shape. The indications are
that the rice will yield fifteen sacks of
about 185 pounds, to the acre. The rice
will be ready for harvest within three or
four weeks.
The rice land was flooded early in the
season and the ground kept moist during
the dry season.

volved, is staring the country In the ffewa.
Evidently the Government is not blind
to the fact that the dissolution of Parlia-
ment will be accompanied by tremen-
dous excitement, riots and bloodshed, if
nothing worse.
Troops are being massed at St. Peters-
burg, Moscow and other centers, pre-
pared to apply physical force, arid. In
addition to the guard regiments, which
were hurriedly marched into the capital
Thursday night, the entire Twenty-third
division of infantry arrived here this
afternoon from Pskov. This imposing
n ilitary array is expected to overawe
the masses.
The Socialists and the Group of Toil, In
I arliament, have prepared for an emer-
gency. They have drafted an address
for issuance to the country.
Bloodshed ^
and Dictatorship.
Bloodshed on a large scale, with a dic-
tatorship in the background, is considered
to bo the inevitable sequel of a dissolu-
tion of Parliament, but the supporters of
a dissolution argue that new elections
may give different results, and in any
event that it is better to fight than to
abjectly surrender to the revolutionary
Parliament.
A prominent minister said to the Asso-
ciated Press this evening:
"What alternative is left? Parliament
has demonstrated its incapacity for con-
structive work and has been engagedln
simply inflaming the people to anarchy.
Last night the police dispersed a nest of
Terrorists, in which they found two
members of Parliament actually discuss-
ing a list of persons condemned to be
assassinated. We believe the Russian
people are growing tired of anarchy and
political murder. The price of a police-
man's life has fallen at Warsaw to 30
kopecs nr> cents) and it is easy to hire
r.n assassin for that sum. Russia is not
like foreign countries, America for in-
stance. where one Government falls .and
another is ready to take its place. Here
the masses are poltically uneducated.
The Government represents the thin
veneer of < ivillzation which covers the
country, and if removed there is nothing
to replace it. The Government must hold
or until a stable regime is assured or
anarchy will supervene."
