Panama.-President Taft effectually
disposed OF the report that the United
States was likely to annex Panama.
At dinner given in his honor By
President Arosema and attended by
200 officials. diplomats and merchants
Mr.. Taft aroused the greatest enthusi-
asm when he declared the American
people would feel utterly dishonored
in annexing Panama. unless some
conduct on the part OF the Panama
people left no other course. This con
tingency Mr.. Taft was sure would
never arise.
The President arrived at Panama at
$3.50 O'Clock Wednesday evening from
Culebra after spending the day in the
great cut, where he was surrounded
oftentimes with giant shovels, putting
drills and hurrying dirt trains. while
occasional distant blasts sent up tons
of rocks.

men are already higher and the cost
of living much lower than in the
United States.
Immediately on his arrival in Pan.

steamship Portland. who are stranded

message received before the telephone
line went down was an appeal for
revenue cutter. but before explana-
ton of the urgency of the request
could be made. the line broke and the
exact condition OF the storm-bound ref
ugees is unknown. 1t will be several
days before relief can reach them.
The streams across the Copper river
flats are not frozen and 1t is impos'
sible to send supplies and aid by means
of dog trains. The terrific storm rag
ing prevents the use of launches.
The steamship Alameda. which at
tempted a rescue of the marooned
passengers was forced to turn back
by the storm and is now at Valdez
The Alameda will make another at
tempt. II this proves unsuccessful
the steamship Northwestern will lay
off Katalla until the storm abates.
The revenue cutter Rush is en-
route to Juneau to Sitka. 1t the Ala
media fails to effect the rescue of the
stranded people the Rush will be sent
from Sitka and will aid the Northwest
ern in the attempt to take off the pas
sengers.

Good Example Of Scottish Humor In

the hang Of little yarn readers must
remember that Stonehaven lies to the
south of Aberdeen. The London train
had drawn up at Stonehaven on ac-
count of slight mishap mile or two
ahead. and Andra. tho old porter. had
got into conversation with a Salvation
Army officer who had popped his head
out of the compartment to ask tho
reason for the delay.

asked Andra. rather amused at the
visitors words.
"Ah." was tho pious answer. I'm
going to drive the devil out of Aber-
deem"
Like lightning came from the old
porter the pawky retort:-
"See an drive him north. chiel;
