Washington, Dec. 15.-The president
has named WI. Buchanan, of New
York, to he the first United States min
lister TO Panama.
Mr.. Buchanan's selection was
brought about by desire on the part
Of the president to secure. temporarily
At least, and during the capitalization
Of the relations between the United
States and PaDama, the services Of a
trained diplomat, having special refer
ence to his knowledge Of the Latin
American races. BY reason Of long
service AZ United States minister to the
argentine Republic, Mr.. Buchanan
fills that description in the estimation
Of the state department. 1t is UNDER
stood his assumption of duties Ia not TO
be permanent, for he sacrificed large in
tereste to undertake the work.
Mr.. buchanan was director general
Of the Pan-American exposition at
Buffalo.
Regarding it as very desirable that
the new Minister shall be at his post
at an early moment, the state depart
ment has adopted the unusual course
OF making out for him special COM
mission independent OF the nomina-
tion in regular form today submitted.
This commission designates Mr.. Blu
chanan as envoy extraordinary ON q
special mission. Under its powers he
will be able to perform all the duties of
3 regular minister and more if need be.
He will hold this commission until
such time as the United States senate
shall have confirmed his regular nomi-
nation as minister plenipotentiary and
envoy extraordinary to Panama.
Thus armed Mr.. Buchanan will take
the first steamer from New York to
Panama. He went to Buffalo tonight
to close up some business.

The Use of the Parks.
The Proper and Improper Uses of These
Breathing Spaces of the City.

Some time ago The Times urged
that the loafers be cleared out of pub
Ii. parks, so that these pleasant places
might be of some use to the respect
able part of the population. A let
ter signed 'Bench-Warmer" asks how
this is TO be done, and hoIs loafer is
10 be distinguished from a person who
Is not loafer. 1t is true that the dis
tinction is somewhat difficult to make,
but it could be made well enough for
the purposes in question, if policemen
were more numerous in the parks.
A poor man, or one without employ
ment, Is not necessarily a loafer, and
such a man has, of course, a right to
sit on a park bench so long as he an
noys nobody. The thing which could
and should be done by the park police
IS to clear out the human nuisanees
who do annoy other people. There is
nc more reason why women may not
walk without annoyance In the parks,
on sit there to rest if they like, than
there is for their being unable to do
50 in the Corcoran Art Gallery or the
Congressional Library. They can go
to either of these buildings, and sit for
half an hour on one of the public
benches, awaiting friends or resting,
without danger of any loafer thinking
that they are waiting for him They
cannot do this in most Of our parks.
The parks of the city are not in
tended for the use of people who have
lerge private grounds Of their own,
but for the thousands who have not.
II is possible to make them as safe for
women, and as agreeable to men of
oecent instincts, as any Of the public
buildings which are open to sight
seers. All that is needed is that the
open-air spaces shall be as thoroughly
policed and lighted as are the public
buildings. No loafer is going to annoy
anybody else if he thinks he will be
reported to an officer of the law. What
Is moro, the mere presence Of a police
Ean generally affects loafer as the
presence Of a eat does mice.

A CornstaIk Fire.

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
1t viii interest some, if not many, Of your
readers TO know that cornstalks can be used
very satisfactorily as fuel. They some
times used as feed for cattle but, stripped
of all the fodder, they afford but little pabu-
lum. As rule, cornstalks. after the corn. tops,
and fodder have been removed, are burned or
left in the field to interfere with the cultiva-
ton Of the crop the next season. But last year
had quaitity Of them stored in the wood
shed and used them as fuel. During the whole
Of the past summer the weather such in
the early morning Of almost every day 70 sug-
gest little fire to dissipate the chilly damp
ness and destroy miasnatic influences; and a
cornstalk fire was just the thing. The stalks
are easily and quickly ignited, and with a
stove full for ten minutes you can have a
bright, cheerful fire impaFting an agreeable
odor, heat enough to warm water for the bath,
and to make the dressing room comfortable.
