PANAMA TOLLS BILLS.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT DECLARED INDEFENSIBLE.
PRESIDENT'S EMBARRASSING POSITION.
a
New York, October 11 The Press is actively discussing the Panama Bili. The World, in kader, emphasises the clubarrassment President Harting mast feel in invi- ting Britain to the disarmament conference while the Republican Congress is turning a solemn treaty with Britain into a strap of paper. The Journal of Commerce declares that the proposed amendment is indefensible and it is the plain duty of the President to veto it. Republican leaders state that the question might be set desi diplomatically before final decision is taken by Congress on the Barch Bill which will probably lie indefinitely the table of the Horse of Representatives. Certainly nothing will be done until after the disarınament conference. It is understood that President Harding and Senator Lodge discussed the position and that Mr. flarding was represented as being perfectly satisfied" with the passage of the bol by the Senate and indisposed to intervene.

friendliest spirit on the part of all parties if anything is to be accomplished. Therefore it is considered necessary that the conference itself arrange the method of procedum which seems best suited to promote agreement. The American delegate will therefore only suggest methods for considering subjects outlined in the agenda which has been generally accepted by the governments concerned. It is emphasised that the American delegates will take every precaution against any appearance of attempting to dominate the proceedings. It is hoped that other delegates will be animated by the same spirit. It is suggested that minor and easy questions should be disposed of fist and more complex questions subsequently,

The Last of the "Wooden Wall,”
The old wooden three-decker" Im! pregnable" has arrived off Woolwich from Plymouth, where she spent about thirty-four years in very useful service as a training ship. She was launched as Howe" at Pembroks as far back as 1860. and was the last wooden battleship to be built. She was originally fitted for 120 guns, and her engines were of 1,100 hp.. but it is stated that she never went to sea after undergoing her steam trials. Her name was changed to "Bulwark," and
