LEADERS OF CONGRESS
TALK WITH PRESIDENT
Important Questions Dis
cussed in Conference.
CANAL AND RECIPROCITY
Tariff Also Among Momentous Topics
Diseussed-Little Likelihood Of FL
nancial Legislation This Session.

Conferences of great importance were
held yesterday between President
Roosevelt and leaders Of the Senate and
House, and there was a general discus
sion of the most important questions
that viii come before the extra and the
regular sessions OF Congress.
Cuban reciprocity. the Panama sit
uation. finance, and the tariff all were
reviewed. The views Of the President on
some of these subjects were freely ex-
pressed. This was particularly true OF
the Panama situation The President
did not hesitate to express his gratifica-
tion at the developments on the 18TH
mus
The President is understood to have
taken the position that there is no
apparent need Of negotiating a new
treaty with the new government Of
Panama. inasmuch as tbs treaties al
ready In force are in accordance with
the desire Of the natives. 1t Is con
cedsd. however. that It may be found
expedient to negotiate a new treaty
with the isthmian government
President Congratulated.
Not only did the President express
his great satisfaction at the turn OF
affairs on the isthmus. but he was con
graduated warmly by many OF those
who called on the skill anI ease with
which the different problems had been
solved.
The chief conference Of the day was
held with Senator's Allison. Hale, AID
rich. Spooner.- CuIIom and Platt of Con-
Decticut. These six men practically con-
troll the course of legislation In the
Senate, and are members of the Re
publican steering committee of -he
Senate. They are prominent on such
committees as Finance. Foreign Rela-
tfons. Relations With Cuba, and Appro-
priations.
Much time was given to discussing
what form of legislation was required
70 make Cuban reciprocity effective. A
joint resolution approving tie reei-
procity treaty is believed 10 be sufh-
cient. while It is not considered
necessary to enact a bill which should
contain a detailed tariff schedule.
Those at the conference did not at
tempt to agree on what form the meas
ure should take. though they arrived
at a general understanding that the
House leaders should be fully consulted
before any action was taken. and that
inasmuch as the measure was 10 origi-
oppose the House plan unless later de-
velOpmentS compOled II.
No Financial Legislation.
1t was the sentiment OF the conference
that neither financial nor tariff legisla-
ton ought TO be pressed this winter
Senator Aidrich is not expected TO press
a finance bin. and in view of the .ap-
proach Of the Presidential election, the
Senators feel tariff and finance ought TO
be avoided.
Later in the day the President had a
long talk with Representative Cannon.
He later saw Congressman Hit, of the
/ House Committee on Foreign Relations.
| The President and Mr.. Hit are under
stood to have talked over the Panama
situation at length Mr.. Hit. after the
! conference, did not deny this was the
/ case but said he could not say any
/ thing as to 1he policy that would be
/ followed.

OATH NOT NECESSARY.
Darling's Decision as to Navy De-
 partment EmploYes.

Washington. Aug. 31.-As a result of the investigation of the question. Acting Secretary Darling of the Navy Depart ment has concluded that there is no oc- casion for any action by the Navy De- partment at this time on the proposition that all employees of the Navy Depart ment and navy yards be required to take the oath of allegiance to the United States.
 He found upon inquiry that only citi- zens of the United States and only such non-citizens as have been honorably dis charged from the army. navy and marine corps are eligible for employment in the naval establishment. These require ments he considered sufficient guarantee of the loyalty to the United States of the men in the employ of the civil naval es- tablishment
