Gen. Barton Bee, OF the confederate
forces, selected a position on large
hill south OF the turnpike. known as
the Henry House hill. This house re-

The meeting OF the national conven-
tons has so far oyer-shadowed the
cabinet changes as to leave the latter
almost entirely without comment Cor
porations interests have been far more
interested in the successor OF Attorney
General Knox than in the man who is
to be the future head of the department
OF commerce and labor. These inter
ests would have preferred some man
outside Of The cabinet, and are said TO
have presented the names of several
big New York lawyers for the position,
arguing that New York would be left
without representation in the cabinet
upon the retirement of Secretary Cor
telyou. The president, however. die
not look with favor upon the men pro-
posed and will undoubtedly name Sec
rotary Moody for the place in the near
future.
Moody is lawyer of exceptional
ability, and one who knows the pur-
poses and policies of the administra-
ton. He has announced his desire to
retire from the cabinet ON several oc-
casions and take up again the practice
of law. This he would probably have
done had not this opportunity for a

THE PANAMA CANAL.

A pamphlet setting forth In full the
Panama canal question has made lis
appearance. II is a plea for Colom-
bia," II contains brief history OF the
canal question. the diplomatic notes be-
tween United States minister at Bogota
and the Colombian minister OF foreign
affaiis; the Hay-Herran treaty; the
treaty Of 1916 English opinion, and the
diplomatic notes between Secretary Hay
and General Reyes, the Colombian spe-
eial envoy to the United States. II Is
very full statement Of the case from
the Colombian point OF view, and II Is
swell worth studying, for a complete UNI
Outstanding OF the question.
In the closing note OF Secretary Hay.
the suggestion Is made, that the ques-
ton whether the Panamans prefer
independence to allegiance to Colom-
bia, be submitted to plebiscit; also,
that the settlement Of claims, on one
side or the other. be referred to a spe-
cial court OF arbitration. These sug-
gestlons are made at the special re-
quest Of Gen. Reyes, that the United
States government, as an alternative
TO the submission OF the matter TO the
Hague tribunal propose Some other
means OF doing Colombia justice In
manner compatible Gith her honor"
1t Is a pity that the suggestions were
not accepted, for It would certainly
have been to the advantage Of Colom-
bia to cultivate good feelings toward
Panama, since the stupid policy Of the
Bogota government allenated that ter
rtory from the rest of the country.
Ii is high time that the Panama
question be settled for good II has

Gates came thick and fast. There was

THE JAPANESE COMMANDERS,

According to the latest war news,
the land battles have commenced In

the japanese have been quite as sue
cessful as In their first naval attacks.
II has evidently been the purpose OF
Japan to make every day count, and
deliver blow upon blow 80 rapidly. as
TO prevent the antagonist from recoy-
erlng from his surprise, The indications
are that the war will be a contest be-
tween celebrity and bulk, with the
chances IN favor OF the former. One
thing Is clear, Japan was thoroughly
prepared, before the first blow was
struck. Her plans were complete in
every detail.
Some OF the data published concern
ing the leaders Of the japanese army

From all accounts that have come

have been utterly Inadequate They

ANONYMOUSLY outgeneraled, and beaten

mcmbered that when Admiral Cervera
was asked once concerning the guns or
the Spanish fleet he said that they were

istry, In 1871 the French army, al.
though II was perfectly organized and
