PANAMA CANAL President Taff Strong Urte Propositio NO TREATY OBLIGATIONS President of the United States Has Begun in Earnest His Campaign for the Fortification of the Great World's Waterway-Banquet At New York. President Taft, Friday night, began in earnest his campaign for the forti ication oL the Panama canal. His-en tire speech at the annual banquet- of the Pennsylvania Society in New York, was devoted to this subject. He, hms high nopes tkat congress, -at this session, will declare in his favor and sppropriate $6,000,000 to begin the work. In the Senate, the President has been told the sentiment for fortifica tion is almost two to one. The House seems pretty evenly divided, but not aongr partisan lines. iMost of the memers appear to have an open mid, however. and are wiliing to be convinced by the side that makes the beter presentation of its case. President Tari. wH1l bring all of his influence to bear in favor of fortifica tio. In his speech tonight he said them were absolutely no treaty obgilations in the way of fortifying the canal; that the United States had every right and reason to protect what was pure ly an American waterway. The president said he yielded to no man in his love of peace and hatred of war. He said he hoped to submit soon to the Senate arbitration treaties of a broader nature than had ever come before that body, or any other legislative body of the world. NEW ORLEANS C!IOSEN. Southern City Win; Fight For Big Exposition. New Orleans wins her fight for the big exposition to be held in celebra tion of the opening of the Panama canal in 1915. The House Committee on Industrial Arts and Expositions, by a vote of nine to six, favored th'e Crescent City over San Francisco, which has been a strong- contender for the exposition. The fight between the cities will be carried to -the floor of the House, but, with the committee behind New Orleans, her chances are now infinitely better than ever before. The New Orleans people are cenfident the House will sustain the co. .iittee. The committee, after deciding in favor of New Orleans, named a sub committee to draft a bil, embodying the essential points ior which New -Qrleans contended. The Government w be committed to participation in the ~osition, and $1,000,000 will be approp ed for a Government dis play, as a ., rter. How much more the Govern t will be called upon to do reais be s'een, Mack-Do fish mk s Dnby-Can't say, but w they as ls-Judge. *BYUNITES STATES Honduran a leader Loses is Boats CAUSED OREAT FURORE, Commander Davis. of United States Gunboat Tacoma, Takes Emergency Action Against General Manual C?r.illa.

A bill by Senator Burton, of Ohio, which is intended to g've a life teiure of office to some 8,)0O republican post masters of the first, second and third class was introduced in Congress, the measure providing that these posi tions should be placed under the civil service, and that appointments by 'the President in fling vacancies need not be made "with the advice and consent of the Senate." This daring attempt to sweep all the good things off the pie counter before the Democratic landslide of 1912, will be fought by the Democrats to the last ditch. It is being supported by Postmaster General Hitchcock, who takes the high ground that it will prevent the removal of good men for insufficient reason. In a letter tc Chairman Penrose, of the Senate com mittee on postoffices and post roads, the postmaster general says the bill has the approval of President Taft. -DEMOCRATS MEET.
