The second session of the sixtieth congress and the first session of the sixty-first probably will see the most decided economic legislation that has been put forward since Clevclands first administration. Mir. Taft and the younger statesmen of both parties seem determined upon drastic re- vision of the tariff. The president elect has sgnfed to the ways and means committee of the house that 1t should use all the means at it's com mand to obtain the nose trustworthy information as to the profits on manu- factured goods under the present tar if law. resorting, if necessary. to the subpoena and putting the witnesses under oath. He has also asked the committee to appeal to him in any case where the evidence Is not satis- factory. Mir. Taft undoubtedly will also take an active part in the senate's work on the new tariff bill. Messrs. Payne and Clark, respectively republi- can and democratic leader in the house, are conducting the tariff in- quiry for the two parties in the ways and means committee.

hot-blooded Latin-Americans of
the canal country ready to fight
at the drop of the hat, with the
street corners and the cafes daily

and more spectacular clashes,
Panama is in a state of seething
political ferment. The situation is
daily becoming more and more
critical and the fate of the repub-

With the presidential campaign
at fever heat and the possibility
of revolution coming close upon
the heels of the election, which
takes place the last week in June
and the first week in July, the con-

republic is asking intervention at
the hands of Uncle Sam.
Both the conservative and lib
eral parties had virtually agreed
upon Senior Obaldia, former min
lister to Washington, as the presi-
Dental candidate, fully 80 per
cent of both parties favoring his
election. When Obaldia declined
to promise to continue in office
