The bishop paid handsome tribute
to the outgoing presiding elders, Rev.
Drs. S. B. Town, G. A. Brooke and
Isaac Dale. They said to him he could
appoint them to any charge he pleased.
He liked that spirit. He said the
conference is growing IN men and in
tellect, but not growing in charges.
There ought to be a change. Some of
the ministers would be disappointed
in hearing of their appointments this
year, but he and the elders did their
best. He sympathized with them all,
for he had shared in all the varied ex.
periences of the itinerate minister
His words of admOnitiOn were very
tender and brought tears to the eyes
of many men.

Senior Macaro, the actual president
of the senate, expresses his admiration

that the canal will be opened by them.
He says he regrets that he was Obliged
to oppose the Hay-Herran treaty as be-

They Want Him Out OF the Way.
General Fernandez, who was spoken
of some time ago as a possible presi-
Dental candidate, has been offered a
European legation. 1t is believed that
the government is anxious to send him
out of the country and thus keep him
out of the presidential contest
Offer Of . Tub to the Whale.
1t is believed here that it was the
fear of a ssionmovement which led
to the appointment of Senior Obaldia as
governor of Panama, with, it is I'M
derstood, authority to negotiate on the
canal question. General Sarria. who
has been appointed military governor
of Panama, is an isthmian at heart,
having lived twenty years in Panama
Both Governor ObaIdia and General
Sarria are ardent partisans Of the ca
nal and friends Of the United States.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 7.-Anx-
ious over the reports which have
reached Washington that the delegates
from the department of Panama have
withdrawn from the sessions of the
Colombian congress at BOgOta, DR..
Thomas Herran, the acting minister Of
Colombia here, has telegraphed to the
governor of Panama for information
on the subject. DIR. Herran discred-
its the report. as the advices from his
government have given no intimation
Of such action.
The three senators from Panama
with one exception, and he was Bit
terly opposed to the treaty-and the
six members of the house Of repre-
sentatives have assiduously worked
for the ratification of the treaty. Their
detection at this time, Dr. Herran real
ICES, would be q serious blow to the
prospects for ratification The one
Panama senator, who has opposed the
treaty has never lived in Panama, al
though 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 pro-
test over the attitude of the opposi.
ton to the treaty, with the possibility
of secession from the national govern
ment.
DIR. Herran still clings to the hope
that a way will be found whereby
the present treaty will be ratified. He
lays much stress on the possibility
that the senate may agree to q meas
ure to be subsequently, passed by the
house, where there is said to be a
majority for the treaty, giving Presi-
dent Marr0quin authority to negotiate
directly an instrument along the lines
of the present treaty. President Mar
roquin is known to be heartily In favor
OF the treaty as 1t now is drawn, and
il he were duly authorized to 10 50

mitted to send gifts to the President.
Mr.. Roosevelt has applied this section al
so to individual citizens. and has followed
his policy Of refusing gifts ever since he
has been in Office, during which time hun
dreds OF articles have been returned to
donors throughout the country.
1t might be stated incidentally that the
President always returns gifts of cham
payne.
1T was evident" said Secretary Loeb.
that Miss Costeau had put an immense
amount of labor on the flag, which en-
hanced its value. She said herself that
each of the forty-hve stare had cost her
a dollar. There was really nothing IN

Oyster Bay. N. Y, Sept. 11.-While con-
siderable comment has been occas stoned by
the Presidents refusal to accept gift
of a pretty silk flag worked by Miss Marie
Costeau of Boston, Mr.. Roosevelt would
like it to be understood that his rule to
not accept presents OF intrinsic value from
private persons IS not new one.
Ever since the President has been in
office. it is said, he has consistently re-
fused to receive valuable gifts from in
dividuals. Tokens of slight value he fire.
quently retains. Then. again, where com
munities present gifts to the President in
commemoration Of events or Industrial or
local enterprise, such presents are invari-
ably accepted.
While Mr.. Roosevelt was on his West
ern trip he received many souvenirs from
towns he visited. The miners of Butte,
Mont. presented to him q silver and cop
per vase which represented the Industries
of Butte. The citizens of San Francisco
presented gold vase, the citizens Of
Cheyenne gave him a silver-mounted
bride, and at Douglas Wy, he was the
recipient Of a horse.
When neat satin box, tied with dainty
ribbons, was delivered to the President
one July day and he saw the flag which
Miss Costeau had sent him he at once ex-
claimed: "Now this comes obviously
within my rule OF refusing gifts. 1t is
valuable object and a great deal of labor
has been bestowed upon it."
By the Presidents direction. the gift
was returned with the explanation that
the President could not receive gifts of
any value from strangers. although the
courtesy Of Miss Costeau's offer was GER
tainly appreciated. Section No. 1874 of the
