There is something but little short OF
farcical in the way one feature Of Secre-
tary Shaw's currency stringency relief
scheme didn't work. He conceived the
idea that ne could make the bond basis of
circulation all right, and inG anticipation
of the present scarcity of currency, had a
lot of new bank notes printed and waited
for the banks to make a wild scramble
for them. But the banks didn scramble,
and then Secretary Shaw hit upon CO
ercive measures. He announced his inten-
ton OF favoring in the distribution of gov
ernment deposits those banks only which
enlarged their note circulation. However,
the banks continued irresponsible, and for
reasons which. as the Springfield Repub-
lican says, Mr.. Shaw. it seems. should
have foreseen. On a rising money mar
ket, with government bonds selling al a
premium, it does not pay the banks to
take out circulation. 1t pays less as
the need of more circulation becomes
greater.

The adjustment of the gambling trouble
in Richmond was probably the best that
could have been made. The humane pur-
pose Of the penal code is to reform, not to
destroy, and great number Of young

ably never forget. 1t was their misfor-
tune that they were involved this time;
it will be their fault hereafter il they
should be involved second time.-Pe-

guests included Mayor Low, Cornelius N.

A telegram Of regret was read from Sec
rotary Hay, in which ne said:
Il should have been glad to bring my
sincere tribute OF respect and esteem of
Mr. WI Ting-fang. My constant associa-
ton with him for several years has given
me high appreciation OF his great ability
and his open-minded craftsmanship"
President Roosevelt sent the following dis
patch from Memphis. Tenn:
Pray accept my best wishes for your as
ISOLATION and convey to the minister of
China the assurance Of my high esteem
and my appreciation of what he has done
toward securing cordial understandings and
good will between the two countries"
Responding to the toast THE Health of
the Guest of the Evening" the Chinese min
lister said, In part, after expressing thanks
for the manner of his introduction:
II have the satisfaction Of saying on

that have to a certain extent fulfilled my
duty to the satisfaction Of my conscience,
and am pleased to observe 1t has met the

minister, ut will unite the oldest nation on

miles from New York to Shanghai.
with your energy and enterprising
spirit there Is no reason why your trade
with China should not surpass that which
you have with Great Britain. The trade
with China sis only in it's infancy. In
course of time 1t will, have no doubt be
extended to a great many other things. On
the other hand, China has got some goods

PANAMA CANAL'STITLE
COUNSEL FOR COMPANY CoNFERs
WITH SECRETARY HAY,
Steps to Transfer the Property Discus
sed-Status Of Treaty With
Colombia.

Mr.. Cromwell counsel for the Panama
Canal Company. called at the State Depart
ment today and had a long conference with
Secretary Hay respecting the next steps to
be taken. in view Of Attorney General
canal title, to carry out the transfer of the
property to the United States government.
OF course, the Spooner act requires treaty
with Colombia to be made before the canal
company's property is actually purchased
by the United States government. But that
treaty is now well advanced toward COM
pletion, SO that it seems proper to consider
other measures relating to the French title.
1t Is understood that after full confer
ence with such senatorial leaders as have
been In Washington recently, Secretary Hay
has pretty we'll satisfied himself that II
readily amend the Spooner act SO as to
wipe out the condition that treaty must
precede the purchase. In such case the
canal property having been bought the
United States government would go ahead
with the work Of construction, leaving the
treaty negotiations to follow. But, as al
ready indicated, the negotiations between
Secretary Hay and Senior Concha have pro-
crossed so satisfactorily as to warrant the
belief that no such recourse to further
legislation will be necessary.
The present status Of the treaty negotia-
lions is that there Is now in the hands Of
Secretary Hay, who is waiting in turn to
submit It to the President, proposal from
Colombia suggesting notifications Of the
outlying treaty which the United States
originally proposed. This Is being consider
ed point by point and while it is not doubt
ed that 1t will be accepted as a whole. yet
there is fair ground for compromise be-
tween the two propositions.
