IMPORTANT CABINET MEETING.
Canal Treaty and Venezuelan Question
Considered.

Washington. Jan 24.-The days
meeting of the cabinet was one of the
most important held in several weeks.
The subjects of great moment were
discussed fully, the session continuing
for two hours All the members of the
cabinet were present. Secretary Hay
leaving his home for the first time in
several days to attend the meeting.
He presented a draft of the Panama
canal treaty signed Thursday evening.
and both the president and his asso-
ciates in the cabinet expressed salts.
faction with the results achieved
through the long and difficult negotia-
tions.
The treaty is identical with that
drawn by this government several
months ago and at that time submit
ted to the Colombian government, with
the single exception of the amount OF
annuity to be paid Colombia for the
right OF way of the canal.
Colombia agreed to all points in the
treaty proposed by the United States
with the exception Of the annuity.
That has been the point Of difference
for many weeks and at one time it
threatened to break of negotiations en-
tirely
The Colombian government finally.
through Mr.. Herran. the charge
d'affaires here, agreed to accept an
annuity of S250,OO0. This was entirely
satisfactory to the president and Sec
retary Hay. and while 1t is larger
amount than was offered at first. 1t is
believed by administration officials
that the senate undoubtedly will ac-
cept the figure named in the treaty,
particularly after it is made clear that
a lesser amount would deprive Colon
bia of income which she is now ac-
tually receiving.
The Venezuelan situation was dis
cussed at length but it was said on
authority that no change in the atti-
tude of the United States is In con-
temptation at this time.
However. while the administration
regards the bombardment as unwar-
ranted. the United States has no inten-
tion of taking official cognizance OF II.
Some consideration was given to the
proposed antitrust legislation now
pending in congress The regret was
expressed that the impression pre-
vailed in some quarters that the bill
reported to the house from the judi
ciary committee was an "administra,
ton measure" 1t is made clear that
it is not an administration measure
and does not represent entirely the
views of the administration on what
antitrust legislation should be enacted
by this congress.
