disappointment of Secretary Knox was
great 1t undoubtedly was one of the
purposes of Mr.. Knox when visiting
Central America to put himself there
by in position the better to urge upon
the senate early ratification of the
treaties between the United States
and Central American countries and,
in brief dispatch sent by the sec
rotary of state to President Taft, he
makes discreet appeal for favorable
action upon these treaties. Bankers
of New York and Philadelphia have
already agreed to lend Nicaragua fif-
teen million dollars, expecting that
this loan would be secured by por-
ton of the revenue. which would be
collected by Americans appointed by
Nicaragua with the approval of Presi-
dent Taft. There is no doubt among
our business men that with the ref
nancing of the Central American states
in the manner proposed by President
Taft our commercial relations with
those states will be very greatly in
creased, especially when the Central
American union of states upon COM
mercial bases is established.

New York, March 21.-The secre-

sometimes been thought to be a
strong advocate of what is often call
ed dollar diplomacy" Yet the mer-
chants and bankers of this city and
the experts in the adjustment of cur
rency who are now watching closely
and approvingly the results of Secre-
tary Knox's visits to various Central
American states are persuaded that
he is only carrying out, or advancing
one step farther, the diplomatic poll
cies first undertaken by Mr.. Blaine
when he was secretary of state which
were interrupted by reason of his re-
tirement from the cabinet of President
Arthur and afterward the policies ad-
vocated by E1ihu Root when he was
secretary of state. These were ex-

CONFERENCE PUT OFF
President Postpones Talk With
Mitchell Over Impending Strike.

Washington, March 21.-President
Taft has postponed indefinitely his
proposed conference with John
Mitchell regarding the coal situation.
This announcement from the White
House, accompanied by any reason
for the change in plans, followed a
conference between the president and
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
NageI, who, with United States Com
missioner of Labor Neill, is keeping
in touch with developments in the
coal situation.
While officials were reticent as to
the cause of the postponement, sched-
uIed for Friday or Saturday, it was
generally believed the president and
secretary feared that the activity of
the administration this time might
complicate the situation.

Shadeless Forests.

Large tracts OF dense forests In Aus

kinds Of trees in that strange country
turn their edges instead of the fat sur
face of the leaves to the sun, and thus
one may stand under a tree OF enor-
nous size and be as fully exposed to
the sun as though he were In the open

said to be exceedingly arduous work,
