Special Commissioners William /.
Buchanan telegraphed the State De-
partment that he has signed a pro-
tocol with the Venezuelan Govern
ment for the settlement of the dis
putes between that country and the
United States
Mr.. Buchanan's mission has occu-
pied a much longer time than was
expected What was thought would
be comparatively easy task proved
to be very perplexing one. The
State Department officials, however,
were patient, not desiring to have
the impression created in Venezuela
that an attempt was being made to
force the issue Questions of pride
and national honor have operated to
delay the successful outcome of the
negotiations. The advices from Mr.
Buchanan indicates that these have
been overcome and the prospects are
for an end of the 1ong-standing diff
ferences between the two countries
which led to the rupture of diplo-
matte relations last spring. Mr..
Buchanan will probably come north

New Orleans Especially Presi-
dent-elect Taft again voiced his en-
thusiastic faith in the ultimate sue
ccssful construction of the Panama

dinner rendered him by citizens Of
New Orleans.
He reiterated his approval. in ac-
cordance with the finding of the COM
mission of engineers who accompan-
led him to the Isthmus, of the lock
type of waterway. He was uproar-
iously aplauded by his auditors when
he expressed the hope that the canal
may be completed within the four
years of his administration, but pre-
dicted that in any event vessels
would be passing through the cham
mel by January 1, 1915.
Mr.. Taft has avoided any state
ments which might appear as leveled
IN reply to utterances antagonistic
to the present type of canal with
It's systems of locks, ladders and
dams, that have marked recent de-
bates upon the subject in the SEN
ate The problem of answering
those statements is to be left, it is
understood, to the chief engineer in
charge of canal construction.
The banquet, at which 500 per-
sons were seated, formed the culmi-
mating event marking Judge Taft's
visit in New Orleans. A feeling in
vocation was offered by Cardinal Glib
Dons, who is guest of his brother.

passed the bill removing the bar
to Senator Knox's eligibility for the
Office of secretary of state. This was
the second vote Of the day on this
measure, and the two were separated
only by about two hours time. The
first vote was taken on the bill un-
der general order for the suspension
of the rules. Under that order, ac-
scording to the standing rules of the
House, bill must receive a two
thirds majority to insure its passage.
The first vote stood 179 to 123, the
majority thus falling considerably
below the two-thirds requirement..
Immediately after this result was an
nounced the House Committee on
Rules held a meeting, which result
ed in Mr.. Dalzell's bringing in a rule
making it an order for the House
to again take up the bill and act
upon 1t under conditions which

tion on the adoption of the rule.
This call consumed IS minutes, and
after the rule had been adopted the
debate was resumed.
Mr.. Olmsted (Pa.) commended that
the bill does not accomplish an eva
sion of the Constitution Among sew
eral other precedents Mr.. Olmsted
cited the case of Senator Morrill,, of
Vermont, who was appointed secre-3
tary of the treasury. In the opinion
of Mr.. Williams (Miss.) who OPP
posed the bill. that was the only
reputable authority alluded to. Sena-
tor Morrill,, he said, had been con-
firmed through senatorial courtesy,
which, he said, .soyerrides all bars,
constitutional and otherwise.
The bill, he declared, was "a
clear, plain, palpable, obvious and
manifest case of direct and ex-
pressed constitutional inhibition.
