The startling "revolution." which resulted in the brief overthrow of the government of Panama Inst Saturday night, according to official cable received yesterday, was the result of highball and not an insurrection. During tha course, of the "revolution" General Vasques Cobos. who overthrew the government for a day. arrested most of the local officer and tent the governor flying in his pajamas into the shrubbery to escape a dungeon. It now seems that Cobos did not know what he was doing, and the whole story is like a comic opera. The truth is that he had dined too well. and. not being used to Scotch highballs, lost his head and decided that affairs in Panama were not going to suit him. He accordingly ordered his army of ten men under arms and overthrew the government. When Oeneral Cobos awoke Sunday evening svsrything looked gray and gloomy. He did not remember what he had done, but he realized that something unusuai had taken place when another officer appeared in his quarters at the head of his army of tan and placed him under arrest. Ha has been removed from office, and wili be tried by a court-martial. MOVEMENTS J)F STEAMERS. NEW YORK. July 29 Arrived: Teutonic, from Liverpool; Barbarossa, from Bremen.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Ind.. July 29-The visit of Congressman Robert W. Mlers to this and other couatles of the Second district last week has served to develop an interest in politics that promises to lead to an unusually arly organization of both parties for next year's contest. The congressman found his former enemies here somewhat pacific, but many of them since he went nwaj have openely pronounced against "life tenure," and say they will welcome the com'ng of a new candidate into the field against him. Republicans expect to enter Judge Chancy again, and they have been assured by opponents of Mr. Miers that if the congressman insists on being kept in office for another term, in face of his repeated bi-annual promises to ssfe for no further nominations, that they meau to defeat him at the polls. Congressman Mi rs made some statements while here touching the attitude of Mr. Hryan that have stirred up tBO. silver wing to a high fever and the "reorganize r.s ' say he was impolitic inasmuch as he has made it more aittieult for them to effect an organization. Whiie here Mr. Mlers rode about the city visiting ex-soldiers and their widows and personally assured them he Wi s heartily interested in their pending claims. Republicaus of the Second district, besides keeping a watch over the congressional ituaüon. are talking reorganization of the State committee and it Is said there may be opposition to the re-election of John C. Billheirner for district chairman. It Is claimed that a quiet effort Is now being made by Republicans in several of the counties to organize the district against the so-called "ring politicians,'' and that to facilitate their work the fact is being pointed out that Daviess county has been immodest in the past and that her political loaders have been overselttsh in the distribution of spoils; that other counties should be recognized and a man selected for district chairman that could give his time to organization work. Friends of Mr. Billheirner urge his special fitness and his inlluence with the State political machine, and say that the fact that Daviess county has lour good appointments is due to the peculiar circumstances attending them more than to the selfishness of the politicians. At any rate, a right seems to be brewing and the development? of the past few days indicate more activity than is usually seen so early in a campaign. Judge W. R. Gardiner, of this city, who will be a candidate for circuit judge, has been taking a lively Interest in the Republican vice presidential question and he is now persuaded that the best man to go on the ticket with President Roosevelt la Hugh H. Hanns, of Indianapolis. The Judge regards Mr. Hanna as one of the most stalwart Republicans in the country, and he feels that the steadfast devotion of Mr. Hanna to the work of establishing a firm financial policy for the government is deserving of the recognition he has suggested. Besides, he says. Indiana should have that place on the national ticket. Judge Gardiner feels that Senator Beveridge should succeed himself and that a mistake would be made were J. Frank Hanly to fall in receiving the nomination for Governor. With such eminent leaders to point to as Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge. Hugh H. Hanna and J. Frank Hanlv'. Indiana Republicans could go before the people, he aaid, with full assurance of an easy victory FINE FOR NEGRO BAITER

Albert Merkel and George Walters, charged with being members of the mob. are under arrest and others will be taken into custody. Both the court and prosecutor took the position that had Hawkins turned and fired on the mob pursuing him the act would have been justifiable In the meaning of the law, yet had he done so the probabilities are that a lynching would have followed. Judge Ifattison declared that negroes have the same rights hs vhite people under the law and the whites nave no right to persecute them. He s.'.ld that unless these race outbreaks cease he will deal most vigorously with the offenders. The outbreak in question was the second since the Danville riot and lynching of Sunday morning. The local police department has information to the effect that the wife of Robert lee. the neuro who murdered Police Officer Mnssey. of this city, n July ;;. last, and which led to the noting in this city, had lost her life while crossing a railroad bridge at Madisonville, Ky. The woman left here on the night of the rioting and was in a terrible state of terror, and her mind later became temporarily deranged and this fact no doubt led to her death.

Special to the Indlanapolia Journal. WEST BADEN. Ind.. July 29. -The hearing of the injunction cases against Dr. John L. Howard. Dr. George S. Gagnon and the Baden Lick Sulphur Springs Company to prevent further use of the defendants' pumps, to the detriment of French Lick Springs and business, will be held at Paoli to-morrow. The cases have been the principal topic of local discussion since the suits were filed, and a large attendance at court is anticipated. A curious feature of the situation, and one that has caused no little comment. Is that the springs at West Baden have not been affected In the slightest degree by the pumping which it is claimed has done so much damage to the springs at French Lick. It is, however, stated by persons familiar with the history of these resorts for the past fifty ft ;:rs that none of the springs at West Baden have ever been affected by boring wells in the neighborhood, or by wet or dry seasons. The flow of all of them has been, it is SSStrted, almost perfectly uniform at all seasons of the year for more than half a century, thus showing they are in no sense what may bo termed "wet-weather springs." This fact, taken in connection with the recent occurrences above described, would seem to controvert the theory sometimes urged by geologists and scientists that all the springs in this valley have a common soured of supply. It is, indeed, stoutly maintained by some persons that the fountain head of the currents- supplying the West Baden springs lies at a greater depth than tho source of other springs in the neighborhood. The temperature of the water hr.s invariably registered and remained the same throughout all seasons. Of course, little is really known of the source of any of these springs, but it will hardly be claimed again that they all have a common origin.' The hearing of the case will take place before Judge Buskirk. Deposition in the Chase Case. f"l ccial to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 29. Dr. Richard B.
