Explanation OF His Speech.

London, March 13.-Ambassador
Walter Hines Page today received
from Secretary of State Bryan xotif1-
cation Of the United State senate's ac-
ton in regard to his speech on the
Panama canal ana the Monroe doc
trine, delivered before the Association
of Chambers of Commerce on Wednes-
day.
The secretary requested the ambas-
sador to cable an explanation OF the
speech ana Mr. PaGH Immediately be-
gan the preparatory of his reply.
After reading fpller accounts of the
proceedings in tho- senate, Ambassador
Page came to the conclusion that the
senators had been misled by the ex-
cessive condensation of his remarks
in regard. to his Interpretation of the
Monroe doctrine. Page declared he
had distinctly said the United States
would object to or prohibit any Euro
pean power from taking more terri
tory in the new world and then in
concluding said, amid laughter:
so you see that the United States
would prefer, that no European pow
ers should gain more territory in the
new world" s.
The ambassadors remarks, he de-
clared had been too greatly con-
densed. When referring to the Pan
anna canal, he had said that Great
Britain would profit most from the
canal because she owned the great
bulk of the worlds shipping.

Arthur william Frazier ana James
Brown Scott. It's appeal was as fol-
lows:
"The greatest interest OF the United
States, as free nation, is to repre-
sent worthily before the world the
principle OF civil and religious liberty
and the public efficiency and well be-
ing which those principles develop.
and thereby to promote the adoption
of these principles the world over.
This is Of great material. as well as
great moral interest. In comparison
with this large interest the interest of
the United States in it's coastwise ves-
sells sinks into insignificance.
by securing the repeal Of that part
Of the act of congress on the Panama
canal which provided for the exemp-
ton of the coastwise vessels from the
payment of tolls, the American people
would embrace a precious opportunity
to prove that they understood the high
est interests and recognized their duty
to promote it for the benefit Of man
kind"

phlet, to which Senator O'Gorman had

causing serious alarm was the intima-
ton Of Manager Bear this afternoon.
I'VE have heard that the petitions
are being circulated" said Mr.. Bear,
but believe that they were largely
inspired by persons who opposed our
recent order to pay telephone rentals
q couple OF weeks in advance. Per-
sonally, do not feel that the petitions
will be largely signed"
Bear stated that he would not dis
cuss the rate controversy at this time.
At the offices OF the utilities COM
mission, nothing is known regarding
the Topeka petitions as none Of the
documents have as yet been filed.
