upon which the United States govern ment must rely in time of trouble.
 Several of the military powers of the world are believed to have undertaken to obtain information as to the character of the defenses of the Panama canal. The latest incident to excite suspicion, is the operations of a little Japanese power vessel, which sought to obtain a permit for pearl fishing in the waters of Pan- anna and vicinity. The canal authorities have been warned that this craft ap- peared to have been making surveys, and that these were not confined to the water. but extended to the isthmus proper.
 While these operations may have been perfectly innocent in intent and only such soundings were made and bearings taken as might be incident to the pur- suit of pearl fisheries, the canal zone authorities have regarded the matter as of sufficient importance to warrant in vestigation and report to Washington. Meanwhile, licenses have been withheld until some general line of policy can be formulated to govern all such cases.

Traffic Suspended on Man. haitian and Staten Islands Lines-Thousands Are
 Walking

New York, August 5.-Surface car traffic ceased in the boroughs of Man. haitian, the Bronx and Richmond at s o'clock tonight. At that hour the city was in the grip of the most serious transit blockade in its history.
 Brooklyn was the only borough in the greater city not affected by the strike of motormen and conductors. Only fraction of the normal number of cars was in operation in the bor- ough of Queens, although the railway company that operates the lines there was more fortunate than the other public service corporations affected in retaining the services of a large num- Der of loyal employees.
 The menace of general strike that would include the elevated and subway lines was growing more threatening tonight. Union organizers declared employees of the company were report ing constantly at headquarters to be enrolled. William B. Fitzgerald. the general organizer. declared that by the middle of next week every employe of the Interborough would be a mem Der of the union.
 x NEW ELEMENT OF DANGER
 A new element of danger. so far as the traveling public is concerned. was injected into the situation tonight when William D. Mahon, president of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees. de- clared that delegation of the Broth 'erhood of Locomotive Engineers. repre- senting the men working on the rail- roads running into the city. had called upon him and asked for conference They were invited to confer tomorrow afternoon with union officials.
 It was announced at headquarters that this probably meant the members of the brotherhood would walk out in sympathy with the carmen if 1t were found necessary and thus tie up the steam and electric roads running into New York. Mahon and his associates were much elated over the new devel- opment.
 At o'clock tonight orders had been issued by every street railroad In Man. haitian and the Bronx and on Staten Island (Riehmond)- to discontinue serv. ice for the night. An hour later not surface car was moving in the three boroughs. The management of tho Manhattan and Bronx lines said they would attempt to resume service to- morrow morning, but no effort woult be made until Monday to operate carr on Staten Island.

Nothing Frightening to Ad- ministration in Accept

CONSPICUOUS SILENCE
 ON DOMESTIC ISSUES
Harsh Criticism of Foreign Policies Without Offering Suggestion of Better Way Is Surprising-Pros-
 perity Not Argued Away
nv HIGH W. ROBERTS


 Washington, August 5.-(Special.) With the 5000 word speech of Charles Evnns Hughes, woodrow Wilson was delighted.
 The President of the United States has issued no interview. But those who are daily in intimate association with him, those who are in position to know if not to speak, unhestatingly declare that MT. Wilson was. in the first place, pleased. and in the second place surprised.
 He was made happy because his repub- Iican opponent refrained from all criti- cism, and by his silence expressed his approval of the domestic issues which the democratic party through it's legislation enunciated, and will cite as reason why it should be retained in power.
 MT. Wilson was surprised in that his republican opponent so harshly, through generalities, criticised the foreign policy of the administration and at the same time vouchsafed no suggestion as to what he himself would have done had he been charged with the responsibility of plotting the ship of state.
 1.-THE EASIEST ATTACK"
 It is said that the President is of the opinion that MT. Hughes, deprived Of other modes of attack, stopped to that simplest form-criticism. The friends of the President agree that criticism unless upholstered by the promulgation of a policy in substitution for that criticised, must of necessity fail to touch the mind of the country. and in consequence fall to arouse the enthusiasm of the country.
 In his address, MT. Hughes was espe- cially bitter regarding the policy pur- sued by the administration in regard to Germany and it's method of undersea warfare, and in regard to Mexico. But he did not dwell long on the cblessings of peace," and he did not make reference to the fact that without the use of gun- powder, Germany was forced to abandon it's illegal warfare against the commerce of its enemies The President. 1t is stated. was surprised as result of the forego- ing. It Is known that he feels certain

SPIES ARE FRYING SECRETS OF CANAL:

Washington. August 5.-Activities of persons suspected of being spies employed by foreign governments to acquire in formation regarding the nature and ex- tent of the defenses of the Panama canal have decided the administration to re- quest Congress to supplement the exist ing laws against the improper acquisi- ton of knowledge of military and naval plans and Qualifications.
 Representatives of the department of justice and of the war and navy depart ments have been in conference on the sub- ject, and it Is expected that they will agree upon some very drastic legislation to be submitted to Congress-. It is pos- sible that the scope of the conference may be extended beyond the original idea of a mere protection of the secrets of American coast defenses to cover general ly such attempts as have been common since the beginning af the present war to destroy powder and nnunition plants
