AMERICANS FEAST
IN GERMAN CAPITAL
TRADESMEN OF BOTH NATIONS
BANQUET AND LISTEN TO
DAVID JAYNE HILL.

Berlin, Jan. 1.-THE annual ban
Quet of the American association of
trade and commerce was held last
evening. There was a brilliant gath
ertng of more than a hundred men,
prominent in the American and Ger
man trade.
Ambassador Hill gave a toast to the
president of the United States and the
emperor of Germany. During the
course of his speech the ambassador
referred to the great awakening of
America in recent years to the con-
seriousness of its pc -ition, opportuni-
ties and responsibilities. He then
spoke of the relations between diplom-
acy and commerce, which he regarded
a. mutual aids.
Il believe" said Mr.. HILL that
commerce will finallp prove to be the
cinderella in the family of nations who,
led by the fairy wand of international
friendship based on justice, will rise
from her drudgery, be mated with her
prince and sit in council with him
When commerce, supported by indus
try. bushes the voices of the 'jingoes'
and bids passions be still; when com
merce refuses to pour her treasures
into the witches cauldron of interna-
tional strife; when commerce erects
her tribunal of reason on the market
places of international exchanges, then
will our cinderella come to her own
Her more favored sisters will wonder
at the startling transformation under
the fairy's wand"
Speeches were made by several 9th
err guests.

countries is permanently fixed in the
agreement.
The United States is to furnish
Panama with the money for the Co
lombian payments in accordance with
the terms of the treaty between the
two countries. Colombia is supposed
TO regard the United States with more
kindly feelings.
All this goes back TO 1903, when
The occasion was the rejection by Co
lombia of the Hay-Herran treaty for
the construction of a canal across
the isthmus.
Inc people of the Panama region
were practically unanimous for indie
pendence. They announced their de-
termination on Nov. 5. Ten days later
the United States recognized it
through the reception by President
Roosevelt of a minister from the new
republic.
Wlthln a short time France. Russia.
and other nations followed the lead of
the United States.
IL
but without avail A canal treaty was
negotiated between the United States
and Panama, in which me independ-
ence of the republic was guaranteed.
The special commissioner from Co
iombia made no Roadway in his at
tempts to adjust the differences.
Now, after five years, Colombia re-
cognihes the inevitable. In settling
boundaries, arranging for the nav.
ment of a portion of its debt and ac-
knowledging Panaman Independence
ii has done the only thing practicable.
The geography of the country made
control difficult when 1t was attempt-
ed. The Importance to the world of
the canal construction was SO great
that the nations had no patience with
attempts to block it.
There may have been some irrcgu-
( laritieS connected with the rcyoIu-
ton. The United States vessels may
have been conveniently near for
purpose.
Voices have been heard from Ger.
tain quarters casting reflection upon
the attitude of the United States. But
the outcome was inevitable The Iarg-
er Importance of the canal dwarfed
every other con liberation.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that a congressional commits
sion is to study the government Of
the canal zone with a view to per
fecting its administration in the light
of the experiences of the last few
years.
Another committee of engineering
experts is to accompany the president
elect on a visit to the zone with
view of settling finally certain ques-
lions which have been raised regard.
ing the type of canal which should be
constructed.
The three matters, recently
brought to public attention. indicate
that conditions are becoming more
stable in the Panaman country.
BY the time the canal is completed
the wonderful improvements in admin
lstration, in sanitation, and in the gen
eral advance of conditions of life on
the isthmus will be plainly apparent
AS things are working out, there is
no reason for thinking that there will
ever be regret over the revolution
which made Panama an Independent
state five years ago

Additional interest is lent to the
case by the presence in this city OF
Will. am Nelson Cromwell who repre-
scented the canal company in the ne
gotiations with the government. Sew
eral attempts were made to reach him
at his hotel, but all callers were in

on the matter.
sonaparte Won't Tell Yet.
Attorney General Bonaparte last
night gave out the following in re-

ma.
Il expect to be in a position to

the subject mentioned within very
few days. At this moment, however,
l cannot say anything for publication
which would be Of any public interest.

tue of patience just now, promising to

heavily. 1t would, moreover, be cheer
full for the men to sit over a wood fire
through the long night, and take maps
by it if they so liked. Supper was pro-
duced and laid on the oak table by
Jane, who ogled Joseph every time she
entered and left the hall.
She placed a jug on the table. Jo-
seph went after her.
