SECRETARY HAY C0NFERS
WITH BUNAU-VARILLA

Secretary Hay and NJ Philippe Bunau-
Yarilla, minister plenipOtentiary of the
Republic OF Panama. are in conference
this afternoon at the residence Of the
Secretary of State.
The conference began at go o'clock.
and the question Of inaugurating canal
negotiations with the new republic is
under consideration. 1t is understood
the conference is at the instance OF
Secretary Hay
NJ. Bunau-Varilla returned TO Wash
ington this morning from New York.
where he went on personal business.
The minister did not present himself
at the State Department, nor has he any
engagement to do so at present. IN
view OF the fact that the minister has
not yet been duly accredited as envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipOten-
tiary OF Panama his present status
and authority to negotiate a treaty are
somewhat vague.
n Bunau-Varilla has no desire 10 aD-
pear overzealous in claiming recogni-
ton from this Government by pushing
himself forward. and the next step. IL
the minister is TO have full power to ne
gotiate, must come from this Govern
mert
Characterizing as fables born Of imag-
inatiOn the stories that he had taken
part in promoting the revolution in Pan
anna. through exerting pressure to that
end in New York. and that he was finan-
cially interested, NJ. Bunau-Varilla
seemed 10 think that the reports were
not worthy Of consideration
Purely imaginary fabrications." he
said. "are not worthy OF either eonhrma-
ton or denial. do not care 10 discuss
the matter at all.
Powers of the Commission
There seems TO be a confused idea
about the powers and authority of ths
commission that has been sent from
Panama TO assist in negotiating a
treaty. You can state positively for me
that this board will not treat directly
with the Washington Government. ner

tirely subsidiary 20 me, and their pow
ers 90 not give them authority 10 reject
or accept terms. They viii merely give
information. in case the State Depart
ment asks for 1t. on certain points. ana
in this manner any delay viii be saved"
NJ. Bunau-V Varilla would not go into
any discussion as TO the nature OF the

Militia Reorganization.

A large portion OF the report Is de-
voted 10 the reorganization and rearna-
ment OF the militia, under the law OF
January 2l. 1903 A thorough inspection
of the military has been made since
April by eighty-seven selected officers
of the regular army. The total number
of the organized militia was ascertained
TO be 1l6.5 .542, of which 1910 were officers
OF the line. 1910 OF the stan, and 1o7. .422
enlisted men.
The strength OF the organized militia,
distributed comparatively, is in inverse
ratio to the density OF population. The
States having the largest population
have naturally the largest number of
organized militia, but when compared
with the male population within the
militia age those States are. as a rule,
below the average percentage. With a
total male population between the ages
of eighteen and forty-five OF 16.17S.Sa6.
and an organized militia OF 1852, the
percentage IS 0.OO72, or 7.2 men 10 every
1000.

TIC Nun,n Headdrcss.

Very few persons, says 4 French pa
per. know thc origin of the headdress
which so many nuns wear and which
hides so mvch Of their faces. 1t was
formerly the custom for converts to
serd mans to tho various cities and
towns for TIE pUfTt g Of collecting
aims. and. as q rgie. two nuns, one old
and the other young. went to each
place. They were small caps and were
popularity known as Swallows Of
Lent"
On a certain Ash Wednesday two of
them succeeded in obtaining admission
to the kings palace in Paris. and.
though the monarch and his courtiers
were at dinner. they did not hesitate to
solicit aims from them. One of the
nuns was very pretty, and the young
mobiles who were feasting cast such
bold glanccs at her that she blushed
with shame. whereupon the king rose
from the table and. taking his napkin.
folded it in two and placed 1t on her
head in such a manner that it con
cealed her bushes. Ever since that
day, it is said. this kind of headdress
has been worn by nuns.
