El "Gil Bias" ha emprendido una
campafia hostil contra la acci6n del
Presidente Roosevelt, en- e1 asunto de
Panama. El objeto de la carnpafia,
que atrae gran interes, es infuir en- la
opinion francesa para que sea Francia
quien, habiendo concebido y puesto en-
practica la construction del canal de
Panama, sea Francia quien de sima 4
Ia gran obra. El caracter patriotico en-
cue est5n redactados los srt1culos hace
entrever Ia posibilidad mo probabilidad
de interesar Ia opinion p1blica hasta
|un qrado en- que Sc haga diffcil, quiza
impossible, 4 la compafia del canal, al
|timar SD arreglo con el gobierno ame-
ricano. En- semejante case, podrian So
brevenir entorpecimientos muy moles-
|tos, pues aunque no haya gran peligro
de que el gobierno frances sc ponga
frente al americana, es natural que
Washington no emplee con Paris los
netodos violentos que con Bogota. 10

He remembered with self-pity his en-

all come out Of his own weakness and

of American prices. simply because he
preferred to stand by the merits of the
British-made articles, quite apart from
the question Of cost. That day has
gone by. The American has within

the steel industry is concerned. We're it

LITTLE HOPE OF ANTI
TRUST LEGISLATION
Senator Hoar Thinks the
Time Too Short.

Senator's Cullom and Hoar, who havs
both introduced antitrust bills IN the
Senate at this session, hold practically
the same views regarding legislation
for the regulation of interstate com
merce.
The Illinois Senator is the author OF
the first antitrust measure Of the ses-
sion When asked yesterday regarding
the Hoar bill he said he did not care
to discuss the general provisions, but.
from a superficial reading he found that
in the min II covered much Of tbs
groun1 Of his own bill The points OF
difference, he noted, were the elabora-
ton OF the publicity feature and the
more rigorous punishment provided for
second ofenses.
Senator CullOm says he believes Con-
gress should enact some such legisla-
ton and than any bill looking toward
the suppression Of mOnOpOlies would
meet with his hearty approval The
two Senators hold different views on
one important point, however and that
is the ability OF Congress to reach either
measure when there are so many ap-
preparation bills that must take prece-
dence. Senator Cullom believes it can
be lone, while Senator HOar is OF the
opinion that the time is too short To
facilitate matters. however, he viii

CREATORE'S BAND
AT THE NATIONAL
Concert is More Notable Musically Than
for Leaders Gyrations.

Creatore and his italian Band returned
to Washington last night for concert
at the National Theater, under circun-
stances rather more encouraging than at
their previous appearance in this city.
Owing to the delay in the bands arrival
In the city and the subsequent loss Of its
music. the earlier concert did not begin
until after O'Clock, when many in the
house had left the theater. As if TO
atone for this, CreatoTe was prompt last
night.
Creatore is not unusual in appearance
There Is even a suggestion Of difddence
IN his manner when greeting the au-
dienee, and, beyond a wealth of thick
black hair. there is nothing which be-
speaks the musician. Many OF those who
attended last nights concert went with
