Senior Arias, secretary of foreign af
fairs, favored calling upon the Ameri
can marines. but President Amador
said such action would have a bad po
litical effect.
The city is being patroled by squads
of police armed with rifles. Further
trouble is expected. The police are
the chief cause of trouble, but frenzied
speeches by liberal party leaders also
are partly responsible.
Interior Quiet.
The interior is quiet as far as can be
learned. Liberals in several provinces
refrained from voting.
Colon was entirely quiet. Gov. Ma
goon drove to all the voting booths and
was enthusiastically cheered by men,

The government was victorious in
Panama in a majority of the districts.

President Roosevelt Decides to
Make Trip to Panama
in Fall.
WISHES TO VIEW CANAL SITE
Contemplated Trip to Middle West
Next Spring Will Now Be
Abandoned.

Washington, June 25.-It is announc-
ed at the White house that President
Roosevelt will make a trip to the 18TH
mus of Panama next fall. He will leave
Washington some time in October and
be absent about three weeks On ac-
count of this trip the president has
been obliged to decline to visit San
Francisco, TO be present at the laying
of the corner stone of the new federal
building in that city. In connection
with this announcement the president
said he would be unable to make his
contemplated trip to the middle west
next Spring.
Wants Personal Inspection.
The president long has desired per-
sonally to inspect the route of the
canal and to make himself personally
familiar with the great undertaking of
the construction of the water way. 1t
is the expectation that the president
will spend at least q week in the canal
zone and in that time will familiarize
himself with the situation by study
of it at close range. A personal visit
to the canal zone will enable him to
handle with absolute knowledge of the
situation the great problems which con-
stantly will be arising in connection
with the work of canal construction
and administration.
To Lansing I'm May.
1t is thought probable that he will go
next May to Lansing. Mich, to attend
the semi-centennial celebration of the
establishment of agricultural colleges
in this country. There he will meet
many prominent educators of the coun-
try. The trip will be brief, occupying
probably not more than four or five
days.
