ing of the Cabinet was prolonged beyond the
usual hour by individual conferences be-
tween the members and the President con-
corning departmental affairs. Secretary of
State Hay left the meeting early, giving as
surance as he returned to the department
that he had brought nothing of Importance
to the attention of the President. 1t is
known that the situation in the Orient was
considered briefly. The government is keep
ing Itself well informed on the far Eastern
developments. There is concealment of the
fact that the situation is regarded as ex-
tremely critical. The Panama question was
accorded a share of attention. but ii could
not be ascertained that there had been any
developments of concern.
Secretary Wilson Informed the President
that scientists of the Department of Agri-
culture had perfected a system of wireless
telegraphy on which they nave been work
ing for some time. II differs from both the
Marconi and De Forest systems. 1t is now
In successful operation between San Fran
cisco and the Farallone islands, a distance
of about twenty-seven miles. Every step
in the development OF the system is being
covered by patents. The new system is be-
ing used in connection with the work Of ths

adopted an amendment to the Panama
canal treaty, giving TO the United States
partial Jurisdiction over the harbors OF
Coon ana Panama in order To protect the

ton has been raised that the republic Of
Panama has the power to adopt regulations
which might interfere with the free opera
ton Of the shipping Of the world. The
amendment is in the nature OF a safeguard
and it is believed will not meet with any
opposition from the republic Of Panama.
The Republican members of the committee
are insclined TO favor a few minor amend
ments 10 the treaty. If for the only purpose
OF bringing about a ratification of the con-
vention by the constitutional convention of
the new republic and thus meet and dispose
OF one of the vigorously fought contentious
OF the Democrats that the treaty has not

ment.
The amendment adopted by the commit

have the right TO dredge and improve the
harbOrs at Panama and Colon, and that
this government shall have control of the
harbOrs for this purpose and for making
them suitable for all conditions of COM
merce. 1t is stated that further informal
ton concerning the conditions at Panama
ard Colon as to harbCrS may render the
amendment unnecessary.
