PANAM4'S CURRENCY.
Hay to Work for adoption of
United States Gold STANDARD.

Washington. June 4--Adrniral Walker. president
of the Panama Canal Commission. had a long
ference to-day at the War Department with Secre-
tary Taft, and Mr. Taft afterward talked with Secre
tary Hay about the unsatisfactory financial coudi-
tons on the isthmus. To protect the vast army of
laborers who will dig the canal and live ndiscrmi
nateiy in the canal and in Panama from the evil
effects of uctuating and deprecated currency the
United States government regards 1t essential
that there shall be a sound money medium en-
ployed in Panama. and that it shall correspond
as closely possible with United States standards
The adoption by the Panamans of a gold stand
ard therefore. is regarded necessary.
The Panama government has been wrestling with
the problem for months and to-day cable dispatch
was received from Mr.. Lee. the United States
Charge at Panama. stating that the gold standard
bill had been defeated by deadlock in the lests-
lature. He added that a call had been issued for
national convention. which 1t is expected will con-
slider and finally pass upon the currency question
with which, 1t is now evident the Panama eXecu-
tive branch even aided by the legislative, is unable
to deal.
The whole subject was discussed by the Secre-
tary and Admiral Walker in the light OF this last
Hay promised that the State Department. through
its proper agencies. would undertake TO influence
the Panamans TO adopt sound currency system
John Barrett, the minister to Panama. will hasten
accordingly, to the isthmus TO aid in solving this
problem.

KING EDWARD WARNED.
Fear in England of Entangling
German Alliance.

London. June liking Edwards activity in
the field Of international diplomacy has given rise
to some unea siness in Foreign Office and other
government circles, which finds special vent in
the comment regarding the forthcoming meet
ing of his majesty with Emperor William at
KieI. The Spectator voices this feeling to-
day expressing grave alarm at the possibili-
ties which may ensue from King Edwards Ger
man visit. saying:
It is suggested that the Emperor will take
the opportunity of his royal unce'S visit 10 en-
tangle IN some form OF agreement with
Germany, that even if things do not go so
far as that. Emperor William will someno"
manage to compromise in the region of for
egn politics. When remember what hap
Eened on the last visit OF the Emperor to Eng
land how the British government against their
will and interests. and apparently without their
knowledge, were drawn into the Venezuela mess
and the Bagdad Railroad imbroglio. We can
hardly wonder at this feeling Of anxiety.
We feel pretty sure that a determined attempt
will be made by the Germans TO compromise
The Emperor. indeed is almost bound to
make the attempt, are his people at
their present isolation and repeated failures in
the region Of international policy. We may
then confidently expect that Germany is pre-
pairing TO act on the maxim Of When IN doubt
and difficulty. pull Englands leg; she is too
stupid understand what are doing" Ger
many therefore. Is always trying to produce
evidence TO prove that she is in reality Rus
sa's best friend. and that though she is not
bound by any alliance. as is France, her good
will is much active and more efficient than
that of France.
Suppose Germany. in the most friendly and
most dtstntereSted way, were to talk to us, not
about tntervention-that is naturally not to be
thought of. considering the special relations be-
tween Great Britain and Japan-but about help
ing Russia 10 make peace honorable TO her
and favorable to the best interests OF all the
powers interested in the Far East including
Japan?
If the suggestions Of Emperor William for
joint British and German action are Of this
Macedonia. Asia Minor Syria, trust they
viii be met at the very outset with simple
non possumus, and that shall refuse to even
test with toe the surface of the bog which
We shall be assured is quite firm.
1t is understood that King Edward will be
accompanied TO Kiel by member of the Cabi-
net. probably Lord Lansdowne. so that the
Foreign Office will be in position to keep in
touch with all developments and advise the
King the spot.

THE WAR In THE EAST.
KUROKI PUSHING NORTH.
Sharp Skirmish AboUe Samaja-
CoSsacks Near Wonsan.

Yesterdays war news was confined to
rumors, accounts Of skirmishes which took
place days ago and conjectures. The jap
anese operations around Port Arthur are
closely screened, and no advices were received
to confirm the report from Rome that the
outer works of the fortress had been taken.
General Kurokis advance guards are APP
parently pushing northward, and there were
conflicting Russian reports of sharp fighting
at Fen-Chow-Ling Pass, north of Samaja,
on either May 81 or June l. One dispatch
said that the japanese had been driven from
the pass, another that the Russians had been
repulsed.
Cossacks are threatening Wonsan, and field
pieces have been landed by Russians at a
point on the coast near Ham-Heung. Gen
eral Haraguchi reported that Japanese scouts
had killed five of a Cossack band at Mum
Chon, a town about ten miles southwest of
Wonsan

London, June 4.-The Golden centenary meet
ing at Alexandra Palace this evening. Sir Henry
Campbell-B the Liberal leader IN the
House of Commons, presiding. took the form OF
a tremendous free trade demonstration. Some
seventy political associations Of London took

children of Richard Golden. a number of Cob
denis political friends. the surviving members OF
the Anti-Corn Law League and prominent Tree
trade members of the House of Commons.
Sir Henry's speech was eulogy of Golden
political achievements and the beneficial erect Oh
free trade against the present tarln REFORM
movement. He said the real tariff retorIhers
those who abolished tariffs, and asserteo
that the strength OF the country did not lie IN
the equipment of fleets and armies, but upon
peace equipment. the development of arts, IN
dustries and resources and friendly relations
with other countries and different parts or the
empire.
Winston Churchill NJ P, introduced resolu-
tions pledging adherence of those present TO the
principles of free trade, peace, retrenchment ana

Port Arthur being compared with that of Metz
and Sedan in the Franco Prussian War. 1t is
pointed out that General Kuropatkin is making
the same fatal mistake in regard to Port Ar

connection with Metz. The military critics
without exception disapprove of Kuropatkin's
policy of non-resistance

NO NEED OF ARBITRATION.
British Tie5o of Proposed Treaty
aith United States.

London. June 4.-The dispatches reporting
that Anglo-American arbitration treaty Is
under way have attracted no little interest here
The Associated Press is authoritatively in
formed however. that no negotiations on
foot or contemplated looking TO a revival Of the
late Lord Pauncefote's unsuccessful efforts.
The general trend Of opinion in official quar-
ters here. especially at the Foreign Office. is
that there is scarcely any necessity for formal
treaty OF this kind. 1t is pointed out that all
matters now In dispute between the two coun-
tries will go automatically to arbitration. An
official who was IN an advisory capacity to the
government when the last arbitration treaty
came up said to-day:
In Lord Pauncefote's day there was some rea-
son for an endeavor by each nation formally to
bind itself by treaty to the principle Of arbitra-
ton; now there appears to be scarcely the same
necessity. The Alaskan. venezuelan ana other
matters have all been successfully arbitrated
and that course OF settlement is pursued as
spontaneously and adhered 10 as vigorously as
if both nations had solemnly committed them
selves by treaty to that method of adjusting In
ternational disputes.
Doubtless there are many prominent English
men who favor both governments teXtually
formulating this principle which now seems to
be imbued in both We have received resol1-
lions from influential bodies. but beyond cord
al reception of these nothing has been done
So far the Foreign Office is concerned no
action is being taken or is likely TO be taken IN
the future.
II would seem 10 be almost travesty on the
recent Anglo American relations to require
euphonious arbitration treaty 10 provide for tut
contingencies
At the American Embassy the foregoing was
received with confirmation, and. to some extent
Endorsement. II is the general opinion OF the
Diplomatic corps accredited to the Court OF st.
James's that arbitration treaties have some
what lost their significance by reason of their
multiplicity. and It is generally held that the
Anglo American recognition OF the spirit Of ar
bitration goes much further to promote the uni
versal adoption OF this kind of settlement than
would any number OF treaties, several or whlch
are now contemplated. though. as previously
stated, no negotiations are proceeding with
view Of revivifying Lord Pauncefote's plans lor
a treaty between America and Great BRITAIN
