If it bad been, there would be no doubt that the Reliance would be the next cup defender. But, despite the Columbia's ill luck, the Reliance convincingly showed herself to be the better boat.

Shupp Washington, May 22.—At a recent conference at Hot Springs, Va., between Senators Aldrich, Allison and Spooner, members of the sub-committee of the Senate finance committee appointed to consider financial legislation, the new Aldrich financial bill was agreed upon in all its essential features. As now outlined the new bill doesn't differ materially from the original Aldrich measure in the provisions relating to the deposit of public moneys in National banks and the character of security to be given by them to insure its safekeeping. The main features of the old bill are retained. These are the granting of authority to deposit surplus customs receipts, as well as those from international revenue, in banks.

Panamn, May 22.—It is learned from an official source that there Is no truth In the report recently circulated that President Marroquln had resigned. The representatives to congress from the Isthmus of Tanamn will leave here next Saturday for Bogota. Judging from articles published In the leading Colombian papers, it Is doubtful that the Panama canal treaty will be approved In its present form. There Is a general belief that the $10,000,000 to be paid by the United States Is too small a sum for the concessions granted, and, furthermore, it Is expected that the Panama Canal company will give Colombia a part of the $40,000,000 paid to It by the United States.

Although the public relief funds raised in this city have been remarkably large, having reached about $20,000, inquiry among Russian Jews and the ghetto has shown that perhaps even more money than thoy have contributed to the public funds has been sent privately in tho form of tickets and postal remittances. A careful estimate of the amount tbut has been expended privately has been made by several leaders among the Jewish people lu the ghetto, and it is believed to amount to $irH),000.
