by the Republic
Washington, D. C President Taft
signed the Panama Canal bill at 7:10
o'clock Saturday night. Following
this he sent to congress a memoran
dum suggesting the advisability of the
passage of a resolution which would
declare that this measure was not con
sidered by this government a violation
of the treaty provisions regarding the
canal.
In discussing the British protest
against the exemption of American
shipping from the payment of tolls
for the use of the canal, Mr. Taft says
the irresistible conclusion to be drawn
from it is that "although the United
States owns, controls and has paid for
the canal, it Ms restricted by treaty
from aiding its own commerce in the
way that all the other nations of the
world may freely do,
"In view of the

States wholly at its
territory ceded to it
of Panama for that purpose, and that
unless it has restricted itself, the
United States "enjoys absolute rights
of ownership and control, including
the right to allow its own commerce
the use of the canal upon such terms
as it sees fit, the sole question is:
Has the United States (by the terms
of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty) de
prived itself of the exercise of the
right to pass its own commerce free,
or to remit tolls collected for the use
of the canal?
The president points out that the
rules specified in the articles of the
treaty, which is made the basis for
the British protest, were adopted by
the United States as the basis of neu
tralization of the canal and for no oth
er purpose.
Ihe article, he" further says, "is a
declaration of policy by the United
States that the canal shall be neutral;
that the attitude of this government
towards the commerce of the world is
that all nations will be treated alike
and no discrimination made by the
United States apainst nny one of them
observing the rules adopted by the
United States. In other words, it
was a conditional favored-nation treat
ment, the measure of which, in the
absence of express stipulation to that
effect, is not what the country gives
to its own nationals, but the treat
ment it extends to other nations.
"Thus it is seen that the rules are
but the basis of neutralization intended
to effect the neutrality which the Uni
ted States was willing should be the
character of the canal and not intend
ed to limit or hamper the United
States in the exercise of its sovereign
power to deal with its own commerce,
usin its own canal in whatsoever
manner it saw fit."

Washington, D. C. Detachments

napolis and the collier Justin patrol

guard of volunteers made up largely
of the foreign element acting as police
during the day, and all the foreign
women and children sleeping on the
American naval vessels, describes the
situation in Corinto, according to the
last report from American Consul
Johnson. Z
The report was dated August 22.
Telegraphic and rail communication
between the port and Managua had
been severed nearly a week by the
rebels, who are believed to be in pos
session cf the stations along the line
of the railroad. The last message
from American Minister Weilzel was
brought down from the capital by Com
mander Terhune, of the Annapolis.
Express Companies On Trial.
Washington, D. C. The Adams and
American Express companies, indicted
for violations of the interstate com
merce act, must face trial. That, in
effect, was the decision of Federal
Judge Hazel at Buffalo in an opinion
in the suit begun , by the Interstate
Commerce commission against the'two
companies alleging overcharges fand
granting unlawful concessions. 'Re
cently Judge Hollister, in the United
States District court at Cincinnati, or
dered a similar indictment against the
Adams company quashed.
Astrology Is Fortune-Telling.
Olympia, Wash. The conviction by
the Spokane County Superior court of
F. F. Neitzel, astrologer, has been
affirmed. The Supreme court held
that, although a horoscope is used and
the performer says that he cannot tell
fortunes, but that he may be able to
forecast the future with the aid of as
trology, which he terms a science, the
practice constitutes fortune telling,
and therefore the performer is guilty
of vagrancy under the law.
