DIPLOMATIC POST
TO Be ELIMINATED
Taft Intends to Abolish the
Office of Minister to
Panama.
HE PLANS A COMBINATION
IT Is THE INTENTION OF THE
PRESIDENT TO HAVE CANAL
ZONE GOVERNOR PERFORM
THOSE DUTIES.

Washington, D. c., Dec. I1.--Presi-
dent Taft has decided to abolish the
post of Minister to Panama, now held
by Herbert G. Squires, and to combine
the diplomatic and civil duties in the
office of Governor of the Panama ca
nal zone.
AS the result of frequent confer
ences by the President. Secretary
Knox and Secretary Dickinson it has
been decided that such action will be
for the best interests of this govern
ment. the canal zone. the operation Of
the canal work and the republic of Pan
ANA.
1t was for this reason that ex-Sena-
tor j. c. S. Blackburn of Kentucky, re-
Gently resigned as governor of Pana-
ma. Nothing now stands in the way
Of the consummation Of the admins
tration's policy except congressional
action. There has been interminable
friction among the civil. war and dip
lomatic offices on the isthmus ever
since the work of canal construction
was placed in charge of Colonel Goeth-
els, of the army.
Made Lands Prove Problem.
In addition. although this govern.
ment conceived and created the new re-
public, high officials of Panama have
been from time to time embarrassing
the United States by complaints and
demands. President Taft. as secret
ry of war. made several trips to the
isthmus to effect conciliation. :
| The work Of canal construction
brings forward repeatedly the question
of treaty rights. An acute one has
just been raised. Recent work Of
filling from excavations has made large
tracts of valuable land where previous
ly there was water belonging to thu
United States. Panama claims thu
territory now under that portion q
the treaty granting it all the land aG
joining the canal and not embraced il
the original canal zone concession.
obaIdia's Aspirations Worry.
Political affairs are said to be shap
ing themselves very unsatisfactory.
for the United States. It is hintet
that the aspirations of President Obal
dia to succeed himself for another fou
years. in violation of the Panama con
stitution.. is being viewed with Off
cial disfavor by President Taft ant
Secretary of State Krox.
There are some who see in the new
move the end of the Panama repub

John Strange Winter complains
that American women are over
praised. She asserts that they have
not the solid quality of English wom-
en- and that they are all talk, talk,
talk"
AS to the solid quality of English
women, I believe that John Strange
Winter is herself an English woman,
and If we may judge by her photograph
she proves her own contention. That
has indeed been the contention Of
American women always-that the
English women are solid, that they are
conscious of that solidity, and move
so that no one else can help being
conscious Of it.
England sent us one of her music
hall beauties this season. She was
sent to these shores with the chal-
longing air of a nation that would say:
Behold! The British Venus has set
sail. You will find her lovlier than
the Venus Of the Greeks or of any
other nation"
She came. We saw. But she didn't
conquer. We thought her heavy and
commonplace. as we now think the
long-vaunted Mrs. Langtry is. If Eng
land wants to open competitive beau
ty show, the United States will enter
the lists without fear and asking no
favor
We agree with John Strange Winter
English women are solid. They have
the massive solidity of the heavy
boned structure. We never know
what an unlovely alliance flabby skin
and heavy bones form until we have
seen the average English woman in
her seat at the play, the opera, or at
dinner. She bares shoulders that are
like a country road deep cut by cross
tracks. She moves with as much
grace as the creaking. overladen wag-
on that cuts those deep ruts.
Forbes Robertson. the foremost Eng
lish actor, and one of the most thought
full and scholarly men in England. mar
ried an American. American women
are more entertaining; they are bet
ter comrades" he said. From which
we may infer either that the DISPOSE
tion to s'talk. talk. talk" is not objec-
tionable to Mr.. Forbes-Robertson. or
that he has not found it in American
women.
The fault Of loquaciousness is not
one OF nation. or even OF sex The
most tiresomely talkative woman
ever met was neither English nor
American. The most confirmed and
boresome gossip know is man.
Excessive chattiness is an individ-
ual popularity, not national trait.
Some persons, Of either sex and OF
any nation. will always mistake mere
" making q noise for talking. John
Strange Winter, who is charming
and intellectual woman, as well as an
entertaining author. has been recently
the victim Of such individuals, and
they have happened to be women and
Americans. Hence her deductions
which have little weight as set over
against those Of Forbes R0beTtso1

natives to perform such work on the
islands as they are fitted to perform,
at a compensation fixed by the secre-
tary of commerce and labor.
On it's side the government employs
an agent, Walter l. Lembkey, and
three assistant agents to look after its
interest upon the islands, and also
furnishes revenue cutters and naval
vessels to protect the islands from
raids by marauding pelagic sealers.
The Pribilof Islands. which are the
breeding grounds of the major herd IF
the Pacific fur seals, were discovered
in 1856 by Gerassim Pribilof, a navi-
gator in the employ of one of the Rus
sian trading companies. They are sit
uated in Boring Sea. about two thou
sand miles from Seattle. Wash. The
group consists of st. Paul. ST. George,
Walrus and Otter islands and Sea
Lion Rock. They are completely iso-
lated from other land. the nearest
port being Unalaska, On one of the
Aleutian Islands. which is PA miles
to the southwark
The islands are of volcanic origin
and are desert to the extent that they
produce nothing capable Of sustaining
man. They are remarkable for the
profusion Of Wild flowers found upon
them during the summer months.
During large part Of the year the
islands and the surrounding sea are

MOTHER FIGHTS ON

Nyack. n. Y, Dec. 1.-THE petition
of Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw to the SUI
preme court asking the removal of her
son, Harry K. Thaw from Matteawan
to either hospital in Poughkeepsie
or at Middletown, was taken up today
by Justice Thompkins here. An affi-
davit was presented the court by DR..
Amos T. Baker. assistant superintend-
ent of Matteawan. declaring that
it would be unsafe to incarcerate the
slayer of Stanford White in any other
institution in the state as he would
endeavor to escape. Dr.. Baker re-
peated his contention that Thaw is q
dangerous lunatic.
Thaw was not in court. On applica-
ton of counsel for his mother, the
court allowed until Thursday in which
to get further affidavits to show that
Thaw should be removed from Matte
avian. The case will come up again In
Nyack week from today.

port, and the only times the residents
come in touch with the outside world
are when the North American Com
mercial steamer calls there twice
each year, and at irregular intervals
when a revenue cutter chances to stop
for a few hours.

of animals proceeded with wanton pro
digality from 1855 to 1885, when the
fur seal herd was reduced to less than
two hundred thousand A closed sea
son was established on the islands
from 1885 to 1s45 or 1850, during
which period only such seals were
killed as were necessary to furnish
food and clothing for the natives

As result Of these drastic meas

years of American possession one hun

killed annually for commercial pur
poses.

Salt Lake Tribune; There was a time
when Tonopah and Goldield shipped

that 1t would pay to install milling

termed exorhitant smelteF and railroad
rates to the smelling oenters. Now
every effort is being turned towards re-
ducing the gold ores to a condition as
near bullion as modern metallurgy can
accomplish ii. and that this policy is
noticeable is yoqched for by Charles
Snyder. general manager Of the Western
Ore Purchasing Company. Mr.. Snyder
stated recently to Fhe Tribune that the
mines Of Tonop,h and Gold6eld are

ores. everything being milled. In
Tonopah, for instance. he states. the
daily production is about 900 tons Of
ore, and not over 80 o Of this are
shipped direct to the ore markets, all
the rest being milled. In Goldfeld the
daily output is from $50 to 1000 tons.
and not over 50 tons of this are shipped
direct to the smelters.

ENFORCE PURE FOOD LAW
Act Passed by Last Legislature
Effective In Nevada After e.
January 1, 1910

A very interesting bulletin has been
published by the Agricultural Expert
ment Station of the Nevada University
concerning the Pure Food Law and the
standards of purity adopted by the last
Legislature.
The law adopted by the State is
modelled after the National Pure Food
aud Drugs Act of June 30. 1906. and is
somewhat similar to the laws adopted
by North Dakota. Maine, Missouri and
several other States. The enforcement
Of the law. including the inspection and
analysis OF samples will be done by the
chemistry department, with Sanford q.
Dinsmore aud Miles b. Kennedy in
charge. In case after an examination it
is found that any article be adulteratsd,
it will be reported to the director of the
experiment station, who serves notice
on the offending parties that their goods
are adulteraIed. The parties are en-
titled to a hearing before the board OF
control of the experiment station, which
is the board of regents. The offender
may either appear in person or by at
torney. If he does not appear the mat
ter is reported to the district attorney.
in whose district the offense is COM
mitted. and the party prosecuted.
This law is not intended to prevent the
manufacture and sale of Legitimate food
and drug products, but it is for the pur-
pose of eliminating adulterated and de.
leterious foods and drugs. and to pre-
vent the misbranding of goods sold in
the open market.
Work will be started on January l..
1910. in order to give dealers time to dis
pose of articles in their stock, that
would be regarded as not being in &C
cordance with the new Law. 1t Is plan
ned to make tours of inspection over the
State, taking samples of various food
products. These samples will be taken
to the laboratory and a very thorough
examination will be made. IL will. Of
course, be impossible to reach and obtain
samples of all such articles sold in the
State, but any one who thinks that they
have bought an article that violates the
law, may submit samples and the analy-
sis will be made free Of charge. Pro.
lessor Dinsmore states that all dealers
should become familiar with this law.
and should apply for these pamphlets.
The laboratory is now being fitted up
for this purpose. and it will be equipped
with the latest and best forms of APP
paratus. One-half Of the experiment
station laboratory will be devoted to this
work.
