Iy Appreciated by Native Officials
President Delighted at Progress In
Construction of Canal
Panama, Nov. 18.-Denial that the
people of the United States ever
thought of annexing the republic of
Panama, or that his visit to the Canal
Zone had anything to do with such a
movement, was made by President
Taft at a banquet held here, and it
is the only topic of discussion among
the Panama officials. The presidents
speech was made at a dinner given
in his honor by President Arosemena
of Panama, at which all the high
government officials were present.
In making a general denial of the
rumored project of annexation of the
Central American republic, Mr.. Taft
said that the people of the United
States have only the kindliest feeling
toward the citizens of that country and
have no desire for jurisdiction in any
part of the isthmus outside the Canal
Zone
The people of the northern republic
guaranteed the integrity of Panama,
he continued, and they will always
take great interest in its welfare and
do all they can to aid in it's progress.
The government cannot be too strong
or too prosperous to please the men
| of the United States, he said.
President Taft aroused the greatest
enthusiasm. when he declared that
the American people would feel utterly
dishonored in annexing Panama, I'M
| less some conduct by the Panaman peo-
! pie left no other course. This con-
tingency, Mr. Taft was sure, would
never arise.
Mr.. Taft's speech was received with
cheers, and it was followed by speech
es by native officials of a most laud
atory character, praising Mr. Taft.
his country and his fellow country
men.
This is the second time since his
election that, President Taft has left
the United States, the other time be-
| ing when he visited President Diaz OF
Mexico.

lighted at the progress being made in

made frequent complaints to the mas
ters OF the great school there Of his
garden being stripped OF irs fruit. even
before 1t became ripe, but to no pur-
pose.
Tired of applying to the masters for
redress, he at length appealed to the
boys. and. sending for one TO his
house. he said: Now. my good fellow.
III make this agreement with you and
your companions Let the fruit re-
main on the trees till IL becomes ripe
aud promise to give you half"
The boy coolly replied, II can say
nothing to the proposition. sir, myself
but will make II known TO the rest OF
the boys aud inform you of their de-
cision tomorrow"
Next day came and brought with Il
this reply; The gentlemen of Harrow
cannot agree to receive so unequal o
share. since Mr.. - is an lndlvidua
