Arbitrary Treatment.

An illustration of what the New York
ers complain of as arbitrary treatment is
the reduction of the number of deliveries
from Station J in New York from six to
four. They say that the other two deliv-
cries are necessary, and that it is use
less for the Government TO spend enor-
nous sums on city deliveries in INSTALL

scandals. The position taken by the

SPECIAL MINISTER FROM COLOM-
BiA CORDIALLY RECEIVED
BY ROOSEVELT.
HIS MISSION CONSIDERED HOPELESS
PRESIDENT iNTlMATES TO HIS
CALLER THAT PANAMA Az
FAIR is CLOSED.

Washington, Dec General Reyes
the special minister froA Colombia
practically initiated his mission when
he called upon President Roosevelt al
the White House during the day and
told him why he had come TO Wash
ington.
General Reyes was accompanied to
the White House from the state de-
partment by Secretary Hay. who in
trodnced him TO the president, and by
DIR. Herran. the Colombian charge.
The presentation took place in the
Blue parlor. where all regular ambas-
sadors and ministers are received. but
the president infused SO much cordial
ity into his greeting that this ocea-
sion was little out of the ordinary
There was no exchange OF formal
speeches, though the Colombians
were prepared TO do so in case OF
need. Instead the president greeted
General Reyes informally as former
acquaintance, having met him when
the general was visiting the United
States some time ago. Instead ef
standing to receive his callers. as is
the case in ordinary diplomatic presen-
tatfons. the president himself sat down
and invited General Reyes to a seat
beside him, The two then entered
upon an animated conversation which
touched upon some notable
Exploits in General Reyes Life
with which the president seemed to he
more or less familiar and gradually
drifted around to the subject of Gen
eral Reyes mission There was no
definite proposition advanced by the
Colombians, for the president init
mated that the Panama problem was
matter with which the state depart
ment alone could properly deal. So
the conversation on this point closed
with an understanding that General
Reyes. who now regards his mission
as duly launched, should hereafter
make any representations respecting
Panama that he cared 10 broach TO
Secretary Hay, Nevertheless there
was just enough intimation in the
presidents talk to make his callers
aware that he saw little prospect Of
being able TO meet their wishes
Before discharging the duties of his
mission General Reyes will make Off
cial calls on the ministers of the diplo-
matte corps and will address TO the
note asking for an au-
dience. He will then he full fiedged
