PANAMA ELECTION QUIET.
DR.. Belisario Porras Sure of the Presi-
dency-No Opposition.

Panama, July l5.-The presidential
elections which were held yesterday
throughout the republic were conducted
in an orderly manner. All the electors
belong to the Porras party, which eu-
sures the unanimous election of DR..
Belisario Porras on August 30, next,
when the electoral assemblies convene.
Pedro Diaz, who was the candidate
Of President Arosemena's government,
convinced of the impossibility of his
election, withdrew his candidacy. at the
last moment
Although President Arosemena had is
sued decree prior to the municipal
elections that the police authorities
should be under the American commits
sioners' control. he gave contradictory
instructions after the defeat of his par
tisans in those elections. The police
force was increased and other measures
were taken which the American commits
sioners thought would make impossible
freedom of elections, and for several
days there was straining of the friend
~ relations between the president and
the Americans.
Colon, July Eighty-three votes
supporting Belisario Porras for presi-
dent for the coming term were cast here
yesterday. The election passed off quiet
ly, the adherents of DIR. Porras avoiding

LOWER RATES ORDERED
In Express Transportation BY Interstate

ing, in general. approximately 10 per
cent, drastic reforms in regulations aid
practices, and comprehensive changes in
The methods of ol GRAFTON, are prescribed
in a report made public yesterday by
the interstate commerce commission of
its investigation into the business of
the thirteen great express companies
of the United States.
Dealing with the identity of interest
between the various companies, the ro-
port finds that while these companies are
separate legal entities, sit is OF interest
to regard this fact, that by stock own
ership and otherwise they are so inter
laced, intertwined, and interloeked that
it is with difficulty we can trace any one
of the greater companies as either wholly
independent in its management or the
agency Of single railroad system. So
that while these companies operate seo-
arately and compete with each other for
traffic, the express business may be sai,l
to be almost a family affair. An in
teresting genealogical tree, in fact, might
be drawn. showing a common ancestry
in all of the larger companies And
while many namts may be used to desig
nate these companies, it is within the
fact to say that aside from the opera
tions of the minor and distinctively rail-
road express companies, the express bus
mess of the Unitea States is managed
by not more than three groups OF in.

account of the death of King Edward.
The American contestants hardly came
| up to the expectations of Hayes, who
| has them under his care. He attributes
this largely to the extreme heat. The
crowds massed in the road increased
the heat, as they formed barrier
against the slightest breeze.
This marathon was not really mar
athon according to the view OF those who
have seen the real thing. When the
start and finish are the same place and
the runners double around the same
road, coming and going, half the tension
and excitement of waiting for the first
man, which made the London marathon
dramatic, is lost.
