Washington yesterday. to be present at the Cham
Der of Commerce dinner, and will return to the
capital this afternoon.
At the Waldorf last evening the Postmaster
General replying TO question. said:
My continuance IN Washington all through the
summer was severe tax upon my strength and
for little time was at pretty low ebb physi-
cally. but am back again to about the normal
mark.
The investigation in the Postoffice Department is
about cleaned up. and the matter is now prtnci-
pally in the hands OF the Department of Justice
though II is still left to to furnish the evidence
necessary to secure convictions. OF course IL any
new developments suggest the need OF corrective

treatment will DO as drastic the circumstances
demand This is in line with the desire OF the
President, and II may be confidently asserted that
there will be no let-up in the matter OF purging the
service OF men who have betrayed the Confidence
reposed in them.
Speaking Of the recent elections Mr.. Payne said /:
The results have been generally very gratifying
and in the main may DO regarded an indorse-
ment of the administration. The outlook for Re
publican success next year is quite as satisfying
it could be this distance from the national cleo
ton. l see nothing in the business conditions OF
the country that may be considered unsatisfactory

Asked for an expression concerning the admin

PAYNE said:
II would seem to be so thoroughly in line with
the popular sentiment that any one who opposes
IL will be over.

GERMANY MAKES NO COMPLAINT.
Foreign Office Disregards Reports of Inter
ference with Ships

Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE alleged interference with
German steamers by the United States naval
authorities at Colon has no basis in fact, so far
the Foreign Office here is concerned. The
officials have not received any information on
the subject from either the ship captains, the
steamship owners or the German representatives
abroad, and the Foreign Office regards the
"Nueste Nachrichtens" article, comparing the
affair with the British seizures of vessels at the
time of the Transvaal war, foolish and pre-
mature" adding that it is not disposed to IAN
ticipate developments" The stand taken by the
'Nueste Nachrichten" is wholly unsupported by
the rest of the German press. which has not
noticed the affair. merely printing inconspicu-
ously the dispatches received on the subject.

PANAMA TO THE WORLD.
Her Minister appeals to Al Nations
for Recognition.

Washington Nov 17-Accredfted to the United
States, the Republic of France and the world at
large Minister Penipotentiary and Envoy Ex-
traordinary of the Republic of Panama NJ Phil
ippe Bunau-Varilla, under special instructions
from his government, has addressed a note to the
ENJOYS of the powers represented at Washington,
requesting that they inform their respective gov
ernments of the formation of the sovereign State
of Panama, and expressing the hope that his
government will receive recognition at their hands.
Count Cassini the Russian Ambassador, the
dean of the diplomatic corps, was first addressed.
The note TO his eXcellency is identical, mutatis
mutandis with the notes sent TO the other en-
bassies and legations. Following the lead of Count
Cassini, the other ambassadors, the ministers and
the charges d'affares will transmit the communica-
ton the Panama minister to their foreign offices
and await instructions.
The note the Russian Ambassador is as fol-
