TAFT SETTLES 1T.
Trouble in Panama Is Adjusted Salts
factorily All Around.

Panama, Dec. 5.-The differences
between the United States and Pan
anna, which made necessary the visit OF
Secretary of War Taft to the isthmus
have been settled by the issuance of
an executive order, signed by Secretary
Taft for President Roosevelt, and as
sented to in a letter by President
Amador of Panama
The order provides that no trade for
the canal zone or the republic of Pan
anna can enter the ports established ID
by the United States at either end of
ton of the canal and articles in transit
being excepted. This turns the Gus
toms receipts of these ports over to
the government of Panama
Panama agrees to reduce her tariff
from Is per cent ad valorem to 10
per cent. This reduction applies to all
goods except wines, liquors, alcohol
and opium. Panama also agrees to re-
charges to 60 per cent of the rates at
present charged. Absolute free trade
is to apply between the canal zone and
the republic of Panama. Vessels en-
tering the canal ports are granted free
entry to the ports of Colon and Pan
anna, and vessels entering the latter
ports are extended the same privileges
in the canal ports.
Complete jurisdiction is granted the
United States in the harbors of Colon
and Panama as to sanitation and
quarantine regulations.
Panama reduces her rate of postage
to 2 cents and is to furnish all stamps
in the republic and in the canal zone.
The zone authorities are to purchase
stamps from Panama at 40 per cent
of their face value.
The order of Secretary Taft is to be
ineffective unless Panama shall put
into effect the gold sta andard, accord
ing to the currency agreement of June
20, 1904. 1t also makes a stipulation
regarding citizenship rights to Pan
amans in the canal zone and provision
is also made in the order for mainten-
ance by the United States of impor-
tant highways, partly in and partly out
of the canal zone, and also for the
building of a hospital. The order is
made effective December 12, 1904.

JAPAN AROUSED
Over Alleged Violations of Neu-
traIity by European Nations.

Toxic, Dec. .-Evening-Popular SEN
tirnent regarding the question of the
assistance which neutral powers abe
giving to the vessels of the Russian
second Pacific squadron, which hereto
fore has been repressed, is now growing
more acute and prominent newspapers
are voting the demand for determined
action by tthe japanese government.
Apparently it will depend on the
course of events when the Russian
warships arrive in Oriental waters. If
the squadron shall have been permitted
to exceed a fair construction of neu-
trality, it is probable that Japan will
consider herself under no obligation to
observe neutrality and may send her
fleet after the Russians into ports, the
neutrality of which she believes the
Russians are violating.
If the Russians seize a. base in neu-
trail territory, Japan will probably do
likewise. should urgency demand such
action.
Japan is keenly anxious to avoid
complications, but she will forcefully
insist upon what she considers her
rights Preparations for meeting the
Russian warships are progressing on a
most extensive scale, particularly in
the case of the navy, which is conf
dent of solving the problem under fair
conditions. The preparations of the
army include the calculation that the
Russians may attempt to cut the jap
aneSe communications TO the Lao
Tung peninsula, but when the Russian
vessels arrive the Japanese armies in
Manchuria expect to be in a position
to carry on a campaign of many
months without necessity of communi-
eating with Japan.
Commercial concerns anticipate a
temporary disappointment in the mat
ter of mail and maritime services when
the Russian squadron arrives
Port Arthur is Silent.

fenced to imprisonment.

Denver, Dec. 5.-Frank J. Kratke,

White house this morning, and despite
the fact he and Jas. T. Tawney, di-
rector of the speakers bureau, were
the only men at national headquarters
at Chicago who held Missouri to be
good fighting ground, he says neither
he nor the president mentioned the

Jas. Hemenway, chairman of the
house appropriations committee, who
will succeed Chas. w. Fairbanks as
senator from Indiana, spent several
years of his early life in Kansas. He
had a claim in Harper county, near
Danville, in 1879. and was in such cir
cumstances that he hauled bones of
cattle by the wagon load to Wichita
in exchange for loads of flour, meal,
etc, which he sold in Harper county.
Later he relinquished his claim. re-
turned to Indiana, studied law, and
came to congress in 1895. This will
make two Kansans in the senate from
Indiana, Beveridge being a former
resident of Lane county.

falling lightly early today in south
western Kansas to the Colorado and
Oklahoma lines, in northern Okla
