atoTs from Panama, with one exception
land he was bitterly opposed to the
treaty., and the six members of the
House Of Representatives have assidu-
ously worked for the ratification of tho
treaty. Their detection at this time, DR..
Herran realizes, would be a serious blow
to the prospects for ratification. The one
Panama Senator who has(opposed the
treaty has never lived in Panama, al
though being elected to the higher body
from that department. The detection of
the Panama delegates, it is suggested
here, might be in the nature of a protest
over the attitude Of the opposition TO the
treaty, with the possibility of secession
from the National Government.
DR.. Herran still clings to the hope that
a way will be found whereby the present
treaty viii be ratified. He lays much
stress on the possibility that the Senate
may agree to a measure TO be subse-
quently passed by the House, where there
is said TO be a majority for the treaty,
giving President Marroquin authority to
negotiate directly an instrument along
the lines of the present treaty.

IL recuperated from last nights
N festivities, the members of the
- Harmonic Singing Society, who
are enjoying a three days outing
in the Santa Cruz Mountains. We're pre-
pared for another strenuous day. The
high jinks held last night will live long in
the annals of the society. 1t was for
members only and the fun was uncon-
fined. Max Dunow's clever sketch was
up-to-date and created a great deal of
merriment.
To-day's programme opened with cere-
mony. Toasts to absent members were
drunk and then breakfast was served in
the big dining room. After breakfast the
members gathered in front of the hotel
and made the woods resound with song.
Professor Rigger led the singing, which
was of high order. Luncheon was served
in the open air
In the afternoon the members took part
in bowling, shooting and swimming con-
tests for prizes. The competition was
very keen and the sports afforded great
amusement to onlookers.
During the course of the second ban
quet this evening President Henry PLACE
mann delivered the following definition
of the word harmonic:
THE simple utterance of the word har-
mony' produces a soothing effect. The
sense is complete. The word harmonic
means much more. Something that has
been accomplished acting together to
common end; agreeing in action and feel
ing; living in peace and friendship. as d
harmonious family. This word should be
craven upon every mans heart"
Speeches were also delivered by John
Plagemann, Professor Rigger, Charles AL
pers and others. The evenings entertain
ment consisted of concert at the hotel.
The Harmonic orchestra, led by julius
Haug, rendered selections. The concert
lasted until late hour and was enjoyed
by scores of visitors.
The organization will depart from here
tomorrow afternoon. Every one is hav-
ing a good time and is 10th to leave
this charming spot. Among those here
are the following:
