OCEAN POSTAGE REDUCED.
Greater Weight Can Now Be Sent
Abroad for Five Cents.

In connection with the work of the recent
universal postal congress the Post Office
Department has given out the following
statement aas to the effect of one of the
provisions of that convention as affecting
this country:
THE universal postal congress, recently
in convention at Rome, Italy, ordered a
substantial reduction in letter postage by
increasing the unit of weight, effective on
and after October /, 1907 from fifteen to
twenty grams, and providing that while
postage on the first twenty grams shall re-
main at % confines @ cents), every addi-
tional twenty grams shall be at the rate of
Is confines @ cents).
Crest Britain and the United States
strongly urged that the unit of weight for
them should be fixed at one ounce, as it
would be extremely difficult for them to
express an equivalent weight for twenty
grams not having adopted the metric sys-
tenn. This request was granted. This will
give the two great countries exceptionally
low rates for the exchange of letters. I'm
der the reduced rates a letter to Great Brit
ain will cost five cents for the first ounce
and three cents for the second ounce or
eight cents for two ounces. In other words
when the new rates become effective a let
ter packet weighing six ounces can be sent
to Great Britain at the rate now charged
for two-ounce packet"

ACTION ON CONFER
ENcE REPORT on STATEHOOD.

The conference report on the statehood
bill was adopted by the Senate just before
adjournment last evening.
Several democratic senators minated
that the consolidation of Oklahoma and
Indian territory would inure to the advan-
tage of the republican party. and Mr.
Money declared that such was the intent
and charged further that the legislation Is
influenced by sectionaiism. He declared
that one western man is equal In ell the
qualities Of manhood to five eastern men,
Senator Dubois announced his intention
to vote against the acceptance OF the re-
port because OF the omission of the anti
polygamy provision inserted by the Senate
and In doing so he took occasion to review
his own political experience in dealing with
the Mormons, saying that he knew that ms
stand on the question would result IN MS
enforced retirement from the Senate.

ATTACKED BY POLICE
UNWARRANTED ASSAULT ON Of
FICERs OF THE COLUMBIA.

Interesting details have been received here
from an authentic source regarding the
unfortunate affair at Colon, Panama on
the night of the LIST of June. in which four
United States officers were attacked and
beaten by Panama policemen. 1t appears
that party of officers from the United
States ship Columbia, including Ensign Roy
F. Smith and Midshipman r. v. Low of the
navy and Lieuts. Edward p. Dieter c. A.
Lutz and A. N. Brunzell of the Marine
Corps. went ashore from the Columbia on
leave. During the evening. while sitting on.
the veranda of public hall, Lieuts. Dieter
and Lutz got skylarking over swagger
stick in the possession of the first named.
A native policeman, misunderstanding their
play, blew his whistle, whereupon large
number of policemen appeared on the
scene and put the four officers under ar
rest They all went quietly to the sta
ton house. While there, Ensign Smith. in
order to let the police know who they were
and to ask for an explanation of their
arrest, touched on the shoulder man in
civilian dress. who turned out to be the
chief or assistant chief of police Instantly
a policeman behind Ensign Smith struck
him over the head with a club Lieuts.
LutZ and Dieter, who were seated
bench, arose TO protest against the assault
on their brother-officer, whereupon the po-
lice set upon them, too. In the melee which
ceiyed a severe clubbing, the former get
ting much the worse of 1t. AT the end the
four officers were locked up.
Lieut.. Brunzell who was not present
when the other officers were arrested, re-
paired to the station house as soon as he
heard of 1t, to make inquiries. There he
was searched to see If he had a revolver.
The imprisoned officers were refused medi-
cal attention, and were kept in custody I'M
I'll about o'clock in the morning, when
the United States vice consul secured their
release by the deposit of $500 cash bail.
The men had been so badly beaten that It
was necessary to take them to the canal
hospital for treatment before they could re-
turn to the ship. At a subsequent hear
ing In the native court the officers were
all released without bail, and the proceed
ings dropped. The Panaman officials ex-
pressed regret at the occurrence, and the
incident was closed. 1t was stated that bad
feeling exists between the police of Pan
anna and those of the zone, and that in the
case In point the Panama police thought
that the American officers were connected
with the zone police force, and were trying
to take advantage of them

MEMORIAL MEETING HELD.
Medical Society Pays Tribute to De-
ceased Member.

The Medical Society of the District OF
| Columbia held memorial meeting at tue
Headquarters of the society, George =" ASH
ington University, when the lie ana 'he
work of Dr. Louis Mckall were euioglzed
nv his colleagues He was a prominent
musician of this city, where he had prac-
tieed medicine for over fifty years.
After disposing of the business OF the
socetv DIR. S. S. Adams made a few ex-
pianatory remarks relative to the memorial,
and DIR. d. S. Lamb DR.. G. Wythe Cook.
DIR. Robert Reyburn and DR.. l. 5. howe
made extemporaneous remarks
DR. J. D. Morgan opened the meeting.
"Dr. Louis Mackall," he said, had just
celebrated his golden jubilee in the practce
of his noble profession when death came.
He was man of exceptionally KIND ana
gentle manner, well trained and wise IN
his profession. He was ready TO work
and uphold the dignity of medical men.
His name and reputation will live on to be
honored and referred to as man who led
a Christian and noble life and went about
helping and healing the sick.
DR. A. A. Snyder said that it would take
a keener wit than he possessed to do JUS
tice to the memory of DR.. Louis Mac
kali but that to recall many attributes
of the gentleman 1t was a pleasure After
speaking of DIR. Mackalfs early life and
parents DIR. Snyder said DIR. Macka-, al
ways kept abreast of the times with his
remarkable diagnostic faculty, making him
strong man in his locality. DR..
Snyder said In conclusion that the local
medical society had grown SO large that
probably not all Its members knew DR..
Mackall. but that they had sustained loss
just as well as his closest friends.
DIR. G.. NJ. Kober then took the stand,
giving a sketch of DIR. Mackalls life and
work, outlining the many things he did
of interest to the profession. Then he
quoted DIR. Mackall's address delivered in
March, 1873, before the graduating class of
that year, which contained lofty express
sions of sentiment and good judgment.
DR.. Thomas c. Smith was the last speak
err He said:
DR. Mackall was president of the Medi-
cal Society in 1880, but my acquaintance
with him began long before that time. His
faithfulness to the society is borne out by
the records, for he was always a regular
attendant at the meeting and the debates
appreciated his friendship deeply de-
plore his DEATH

IA W NEY DEFEATED
FOUGHT INCREASED APPRoPRIA-
TON FOR GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

Denunciation of the methods pursued nv
the United States geological survey in com
manding members of Congress to bring pres
sure upon the members of the appropria-
tons committee with view of securing
larger appropriations for the bureau was
heard yesterday on the floor of the House.
A point of order was made against the
Item of 100000 for typographical surveys
After considerable discussion the chair
overruled the point of order, when Mr.
Small On. Co offered an amendment increas-
ing the amount carried in the bill to $780,
600.
This precipitated discussion on the
whole subject of the geological survey
Led by Mr.. Tawney (Minn.), the members
of the appropriations committee were not
choice in the language used In criticism of
certain members connected with the survey,
who, it is alleged, have caused a flood of
letters and kilograms to pour in upon mem
bers with view of turning down the
con- mittee."
Mr.. Tawney said that the United States
geological survey was the most ambitious
branch oNthe public service and that since
thu accession of Director Wolcott to the
ch.efship of the bureau the appropriations
had increased 800 per cent.
Mr.. Tawney made the statement that the
Typographical surveys now being made were
for the benefit of street railway companies
water power companies and municipalities,
and charged that the geological survey was
ever now engaged in making Topographic
cal survey of Minneapolis
Other speeches were made by Mr.. Gard
ner (Mich.), Mr.. Sherley {ky.), Mr.. Wiley
On ID and Mr.. Mondell (Wyo.)
Mr.. Small IN. Co. closed the debate in
behalf of his amendment, which was
adopted by vote of 101 to IS.

response. 1t is popularity supposed
Mr.. Blaine was the father of such con-
ferences, but before his time efforts
were made to bring about the union of
the people OF the Americas. Back
in 1926 there was held in Panama a
conference of delegates representing
various nations of America, come to-
gether for the consideration of subjects
OF common interest, the movement
for organization of an American con-
federacy largely set on foot by Simon
Bolivar, president Of Colombia. The
United States was invited to send del
egates to the congress, and acceptance
of the invitation was favored by Pres
ident Adams and Henry Clay, secre-
tary OF state. When the president in
his annual message announced min
listers would be commissioned to at
tend there followed a most heated de-
bate in congress; among the various
objections raised was the one that the
United States should be slow to COM
NIT itself to the policy enunciated in
the Monroe Doctrine. But finally two
ENJOYS wore appointed and an appro-
priation voted for the mission. One

under the presidency of Mr.. Blaine.
In October, 1889, congress repre-
senting every American republic save
San Domingo, met at Washington. A
number of recommendations were
made relating to the free navigation
OF American rivers, uniform system
OF weights and measures, uniform
standard OF value, common silver
coin throughout America, an interna-
tional banking system, reciprocity,
uniform sanitary regulations, the es-
tablishment OF bureau of information
concerning the commerce and re-
sources of the American republics but
few OF the recommendation were ever
adopted by the governments inter-
ested.
Our government suggested holding
the congress which met in the City
of Mexico in October, 1901, which was
really Pan-American. The work here
consisted of number of protocols,
treaties, conventions, resolutions and
recommendations Mention should be
made of the protocol of adhesion to
The Hague convention for settlement
of international disputes; a treaty of
compulsory arbitration, which was
signed by ten delegations; resolutions

the South American states, we have
neglected cementing friendships.
Next July a Pan-American congress
Is to be held in Brazil, at Petropolis,
situated 20 miles from Rio de Janeiro.
The United States ambassador to Bra
I'll, Lloyd Griscom, will represent This
country, and the conference Is to be
honored by the attendance of Elihu
Root, secretary OF state, who does not
90 as a formal delegate, but to pay
q visit to Brazil and meet with the
representatives from the various re-
publics. When SECRETARY Root first
made known his intention to attend the
congress, 1t was readily recognized
the move was piece of diplomacy.
But 1t seems foreign diplomats have
thought well to lessen it's value, for
just at present 1t looks as though this
country was being "queered" with
Latin America by means of subtle in
situations of her representatives. The
Latin-American wants to be felt
world power himself, does not espe-
cially relish that Uncle Sam feels him
self necessary as protector and de-
fender. The Latin-American likes the
way European nations minister to his

sense of dignity, does not relish the
way in which the United States has
more or less ignored his existence.
Wherefore what Secretary Root de-
signed to accomplish by his visit Of
state to Brazil-traveling on a United
States transport and escorted by a
squadron Of first-class cruisers-may be
frustrated by the foreigners influence:
A Washington correspondent last De-.
cember wrote of hemisphere solidi-

fed against European aggression; but
it looks now as though the European
aggression would have considerable to
say about solidifying.

other did not arrive until after the
close OF the conference. Only four
countries were represented at the Pan
anna congress-; 1t did not turn out
success.
Following this failure various at
tempts were made to bring the Amer
lean republics in conference with
view to binding them in closer union.

1881 the central states issued invita-
tions for a congress of American re-
publics at Washington, the purpose of
such a congress being the consider
ing and discussing of methods of pre-
venting war between the nations of
America; but a war in progress be-
tween Chile, Bolivia and Peru and
the failure of our United States con-
press to grant an appropriation, caused
the withdrawal OF the invitations. And

There Is no little truth in the criti-
cism Of the English that we of the
United States presume when we call
ourselves Americans. In so doing
we not only forget that the Canadians
have that right, but that down below
the Isthmus of Panama there is
pretty big territory whose people have
very good right to call themselves
Americans. or late we have been
waking up to the existence of South
America, and it is quite probable we
shall some day sit up straight with
our eyes wide open.
If the United States has neglected
South America, there are other coun-
tries that have not-namely, Germany,
Great Britain and Italy. We have
neglected commercial relations with
