 It now seems certain that the era of expansion into which this country was led by the Spanish war will be marked by the acquisition of Panama, and whatever differences of opinion there have been over the absorption of Porto Rico, Hawaii, Guam and the Philippines. it is difficult to imagine that there will be any divisicn as to the wisdom of anneXing Panama-at the proper time.

The New West.

New York Post: The revolution,
alike in financial position, and in ex-
ternal aspect, which a been going
on before our eyes in New York and
other eastern cities. has been proceed
ing at an even more notable pace with
the great inland towns. The change
has been SO swift, and In many ways
so dramatic, that II has been difficult,
even for observers on the spot, to de-
tect and properly depict It's varying
phases. II is quite possible, for this
very reason, that fasteners, absorbed
In bewildered contemplation OF the new
east. SHOULD overlook the changes in
volved In the new west and south.
II IL now less h a a decade ago that
the agricultural west was commonly
discussed as an all but Isolated COM
munity. It's banking institutions had
very generally closed their doors, its
railways were largely in the hands Of
receivers. Its trade was PROSTATE, and
its politics were dominated by theorists
whose main contention was that the
west had been brought to ruin by the
deliberate oppression OF eastern n
foreign capital. Today the prosperity
and prestige OF the same region is the
commonplace Of financial discussion.
When the eastern markets were chiefly
concerned, this winter, over the ques-
ton whether the huge mass of free
canital loaned here by the west would
be left In Wall street or withdrawn for
productive purposes at home: when
English experts are periodically visit
ing our western railways to learn the
secret Of their prosperity, and when
the populist party has already become
a political tradition almost as nearly
forgotten as the Know-nothings of the
'40s-it is obvious that 1t is a new west
in every sense which has arisen out
of the trials of the past ten years.

BOWEN STANDS PAT.
American Minister Refuses to Aceede
to Any Further Demands
of Allies,

Washington, April GA joint confer
ence between Minister Bowen and the
representatives Of the allies was held
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Bowen pre-
scented his reply to the amendments
which the allies proposed to the origin
al draft of the protocol. He accepted
several changes in phraselogy In the
convention, but informed the other
negotiators hat under no circum-
stances would he accept the insertion
of a new article providing that Vene-
zuela should pay the costs of the block
ade In case the decision at The Hague
should be adverse to the preferential
treatment. His refusal on this point
was absolute.
1t was agreed that Mr.. Bowen's OBJ
j~ections and arguments should be
cabled at onGe to London, Berlin and
Rome.
The original protocols provided for
the submission of the simple question
whether the powers that employ force
to secure the payment Of international
debts are entitled to payment before
other creditor powers which do not en-
ploy force.
1t is feared the new proposition will
arouse a storm Of opposition in Vene-
Zuela, where the congress is already be-
coming very FESTIVE, and can scarcely
be kept in line by the executive to Sc
cure the execution Of the protocols
drawn here by Bowen.

The Probable New Head of the United

States Steel Corporation.
New York, April 3.-An inspired" an
nouncement has been made that the
finance committee OF the United States
Steel corporation Will meet next week 10
name officers, eight directors and an ex-
ecutive committee for the ensuing year.
1t Is also given out In the same way that
"a majority of the finance committee Is OPP
posed to the reelection of Charles NJ.
Schwab to the presidency of the corpora
ton. The finance IN Is composed
Of six members-George w. Perkins, chair
man; Henry II. Rogers, Norman b. Ream,
L. A. Il. Widener, H.. G. Frick and Robert
Bacon.
The stockholders at their annual meet
ing will go through the form Of electinB
officers, directors and naming the finance
committee. In reality the stockholders
will ratify and adopt the slate named by
Mr.. Morgan through the finance commit
tee. 1t, therefore, Is plain that the OF
fetal fate Of Mr.. Schwab is entirely In tho
hands of Mr.. Morgan. The criticism d.
rected against Mr.. Schwa Is chiefly that
he has not given to the administration
that dignity and impressiveness which
nigh be supposed to naturally attach to
the presidency of the greatest corporation
on earth. No question has been raised as
to his ability. He has justified tho un-
qualified Endorsement given him by Mr.,
Carnegie In that respect. Indications point
more strongly than ever to the elevation
of Henry c.. Frick to the presidency.

a Great Tenor Who Can't Read Music.

New York Sun: IL is solemnly a1nrmed
by his colleagues that one Of the tenors
who has been notably successful at the
Metropolitan opera house this winter can
not read a note of music from the score,
but must be taught at the piano all that
he sings. AS evidence Of this unusual
state Of affairs, 1t is mentioned that 1t
took him three years to learn the role in
which he first appeared in public. The
parts thu he has learned are not numer-
Gus, but extremely difficult, and he is now
engaged in a task that might well tax a
skillful musician. He is studying Iris
tan" 1t is difficult to understand how
any persons could rave escaped a knowl-
edge Of music under such circumstances.
But his colleagues declare that he has
succeeded in doing 1t and has also accom-
plished the task Of learning three of the
most difficult roles in the operatic roper
toire. What he learns Is usually with al
~accompanist. Without one, his process
is what is commonly described as pick
ing OUT music on the piano with one
finger.
