THE PANAMA REPURLIc.
How the U. S, GETS in on the Ground
Floor per the Roosevelt Policy.

Floor per the Roosevelt Policy
Secretary Hay has signed canal
treaty with NJ. VariIla, the minister
of Panama. by which the United
States acquires absolute sovereignty
over a strip Of territory i've miles vide
on each side of the canal, the right TO
enforce sanitary regulation aud public
peace in the cities of Panama add Golon
possession of four islands in the vicin-
fity Of the isthmus, and the monopoly
of any system Of communication be-
/ tween the oceans either by canal or rail-
road. In return our govern meut
guarantees the Independence of the
Republic of Panama, pays that coun-
try $l0,000,000 and beginning nine years
| from date of treaty, an annual rental
of S250,000. The Panama comm iss.on-
ers arrived in Washington several hours
after the -Bunau- Vartlla treaty
was signed by the new minister. The.
expressed great satisfaction at the
terms of the treaty, and one oftllem
will carry the document to Panama
! for ratification. 1t is thought that the
assent of Panama will De obtained
about Dec. 10, and the treaty Will then
be sent TO the senate, where it is sure to
be ratified. The republicans need two
democratic votes in order to get two
thirds majority to approve treaty,
but in this case lnost of the democrats
will support the Administration The
position of the minority senators was
expressed by Senator Bacon of
Georaia, who said that although they
opposed the haste and disregard for in
ternational law, displayed by the
president in recognizing Panama, they
would not allow themselves to be put
on record as opponents Of a treaty
which fastened the construction of a
canal. The canal is much desired in
the southern states and this accounts
for the attitude of many southern
senators who would otherwise gladly
oppose the administration. The Pan.
anna government is about to be reccg-,
nized by Che European powers although
they declare shat the new republic
should assume an equitable portion
of Colombia's debt, which amounts to
about S15,0o0,000 Probably our gov
eminent Will pay an indemnity to Col
ombia for the loss Of the isthnus,
With the ratification OF the new
treaty Panama will become practically
part of the possessions of the United
States. The right to police the cities
and to dictate sanitary laws gives US
virtual control of Colon AID Panama,
and we shall doubtless make use Of our
right to fortify the canal.
Panama, Dec. 2.-The canal treaty
was signed at 1880 a, m. today. There
were no amendments TO the treaty.

WATERBURY STRIKE.
1,50O Men to Qutt Who Are Affiliated
 With Building Trades.

Waterbury, May 5.-About 1,500 men affiliated with the Building Trades council of this city will go on strike next Saturday morning unless the ref erence card system introduced by the Master Builders associations through out the state is abolished. A confer ence was held tonight between com mittee of the master builders and one representing all of the different trades unions in the building line here The latter demanded the continuance of the card system internationally and threatened to go on strike in the morn- ing unless the demand was acted upon favorably. Finally an agreement was reached whereby the committee repre- senting the trades unions consented to wait until after the convention of the State Master Builders association to be held in New Haven Thursday night. A committee from the local master build- CTS will then meet the representatives of the trades unions and a final answer will be made. Thus the contemplated strike which was to have been declared here tomorrow morning was averted until next Saturday morning.

BALTIMORE ELECTION.
Result as to Mayoraity Candidates stiIi
 fu Doubt.

Baltimore, Md, May 7--The result of to-day's municipal election in this city as to the mayoralty candidates is in doubt and will not be officially ascer- tained until tomorrow. Of the sos pre- cincts in the city 303 have been counted, and they give a plurality of 3S2 for Robert M. McLane, democrat, over Frank M. Wachter, republican. In the other five precincts, owing to disputes between the election judges, the ballot boxes have been locked up by the police for the night and will not be opened until tomorrow. The actual result will therefore be in doubt unless these votes are counted and recount will probably be ordered.
 George R. Heffner, republican, has been elected city comptroller and E. Clay Timanus, republican, is elected president of the city branch of the city council. The republicans will have a majority in the second branch of the city council and the democrats ma jority in the first branch. At the mu- nicipal election in 1899 the democrats carried the city by $500.

Two Important Developments-Letter

Two Important DevelDpments-Lette
 Calling for Ev4dence.
 Washington, May 5.-There were two important developments in the postof- flee Investigation to-day-first, the dis patch of a letter calling for the evil dence in the possession of s. W. TuI- loch, the former cashier of the Wash ington city postoff1ce to substantiate his charges against the administration of the department several years ago. and, second, the announcement that the present investigation was agreed upon early last winter.
 Postmaster General Payne in his let ter to MT. Tulloch said that he would be pleased to receive any statements, accounts, documents or other papers confirmatory of the allegations made. MT. Payne subsequently said that he would personally go over these papers and decide whether the matter should be referred to Fourth Assistant Post master General Bristow for inclusion in his general investigation of the depart ment. The replies of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, Postmas- ter Merritt, of this city, and presuma- bly, of ex-Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith have been received, but Mr. Payne stated that all the replies called for had not yet been submitted.
 Ex- x-Representative Loud, of Califor- mia, for many years chairman of the house committee on postoftices and postroads, and probably delegate of the United States to the International Postal Congress to be held at Rome, Italy, next spring, was in conference with the postmaster to-day concerning the investigation. The postmaster gen. eral later announced that the present investigation was contemplated as long ago as last December, and that the work along the lines now being pursued by MT. sBristow was then decided upon Mr. Payne said this was provided for in an item in the last appropriation act for contingent expenses of the office of the postmaster general.

INTERPRETATION IN ITALIAN
 HOUSE OF DEPUTIES.
Great Britain Ready to Dimtnish Her Sea Forces 1.-the Other Powers Agreed to Follow the Same Course-Isaiy Not Ready to Do This at Present.

Rome, May 5.-Tn the chamber of dep- uties to-day Signor Gicotti interpellated the government on the report that it in- tended to propose to the government of Great Britain that negotiations be en- tered into with the view of arranging for simultaneous reduction of the na- vies of the great powers. -<
 a Signor Baccalli, under secretary of state, in reply said the British premier, MT. Balfour,, and the secretary of the British admirality, MT. Arond-Foster, recently declared that Great Britain was ready to diminish her sea forces if the other powers agreed to follow the same course, but, Great Britain had not yet definitely taken the initiative in the matter and consequently Italy had talk en no action in the matter.
 The under secretary of state added that if Great Britain proposed to take a definite step in the direction indicated Italy would consider it to be inoppor- tune, on the ground that while the oth- CT powers had recently been increasing the strength of their navies Italy he'd reduced her fleet and also because of Italy's position, requiring the defence of distant possessions and also in view of the great number of Italians in foreign countries
