M. Melin says no mistake should be

In conclusion M. Melin rays:
“ One cannot refrain from rather
melancholy reflections on the commer

STA TIO N TOR COLUMBIA.
Washington, Oct. 6. — Chile has
formally recognised the absolute sov
ereignty of tbe United 8tatee over tbe
Panama canal zone.
Other natione
which have been bolding back te await
the outcome of the diplomatic test case
w ill do tbe same. The result w ill be
that practically all the foreign diplo
mats on the isthmus w ill be accredited
to this country instead of Panama.
Chile some time ago applied for an
equatum for Greonimo Osao, who was
appointed consul at Panama. Tbe re
quest was withheld, owing to tbe un
settled condition of affairs. Though
this country exercises full control over
the canal zone, the land belongs to
Panama. Today tha secretary of state
diapoeed of the question by issuing the
exequatur, but instead of being in the
regular form it ia a notification to Gen
eral Davit, governor general of tbe ca
nal zone, that Mr. Oaaa ia authorized
to represent Chile in all diplomatic
matters involving the canal atrip.
This w ill probably involve further
difference« between this government
end the republic of Panama.
