ROOSEVELT CONGRATULATED.
Cabinet Meets and Members Have
 Nice Things to Say.

Washington, June 24-Felicitations on his unanimous nomination by the Chicago republican convention wers extended to the President today by the members of his cabinet assembled for the regular semi-weekly meeting. In addition to a discussion of the politi- cal situation and an exchange of con gratulations. the President and cabi- net considered some important busi. ness It was decided that the customs rates imposed by the Dingley tariff should not be imposed upon all goods imported into the American zone on the Isthmus of Panama except on such goods as may be shipped there In the United States The American zone IS regarded as United States territory. The enforcement of the tariff law will be placed in the hands of Governor Davis. He will make such arrange ments with the treasury department for the services of experts in customs matters as he may deem necessary. It i is expected that little material from foreign countries will be employed in the construction of the canal or other purposes. Every encouragement will be given to the importation of such necessary products from this country.
 It was also decided to establish on the isthmus such postoffices as may be necessary for the transaction of the postal business of the American zone. Governor Davis will designate the To- cation of the ofIices and it is under stood will appoint the postal officials. Orders were subsequently issued by Secretary Taft providing for carrying out these conclusions.

 Manager OBrien is still sick and Harry Vaughan was in charge of the team yes terday. Mr. O'Brien was better last night but 1t is not known whether he will be able to be on the grounds today.
 It Is understood that just as soon as he is well enough to be out there will be some changes in the lineup and other wise of the Coal Barons Just what these changes are has not been announced but 1t is said some radical changes will be made.
