Still Hopes to Save Something for
Colombia.
In cablegram which General Reyes
has dispatched to President Mario
quin, he has reviewed the negotiations
at Washington, and said that he was
still doing everything in his power to
save something from the wreck. Gen.
eral Reyes expects. in view of the
high feeling prevailing in Colombia,
that it will be very difficult to restrain
his people longer.
General Reyes can suggest no means
by which the Colombian and Panama
governments can settle their differ
ences. He thinks it possible that the
dispatch of special envoy from this
government might result satisfactor-
lily, and he suggested that Minister
Bowen. at Caracas, who speaks Span
ish fuently, and whose influence in
South America has been increased by
his work for venezuela, or Mr.. Bu-
chanan might be able to bring about
solution of the Colombia Panama
trouble, if either were sent to Bogota
at this time.

Seven Hour Day for Government
Help in Executive Departments.
The unanimous decision was reach
ed by the cabinet recently that the
hours of labor for government en-
ployes shall be from 8 a. m. until 4:30
p. M, half hour of that time being
allowed for luncheon. The new regu-
lation will apply only to the executive
departments, and will go into effect
next Monday. Heretofore the depart
until o'clock, with a half hour for
luncheon. The decision reached af-
fects not only the employees in Wash
ington, but also those in thej depart
ments throughout the country. The
question was raised by the appropria-
tons committees of the house and SEN
ate on applications made to them by
the heads of departments for addition
al clerks. 1t was pointed out by the
committee that the law distinctly pro-
vided that employees of the depart
ments should work seven hours day,
and that under the present system the
government was getting only six and
half hours of labor. The committees
urged that as a matter of economy in
the employment of additional assist
ance in the departments the employees
ought to be required to work full seven
hours.
The subject was considered carefully
by the cabinet, and the decision was
announced 1t will affect approximate
ly, it is said, 100000 employees of the
government.
