LONG CONFERENCE HELD AT WASHINGTON Presidint, Members of Oabinet and Senators Oonsider Panama Question, | | BOSTON ORDERED TO BUENA VENTURA Commanders of V % Cha ed to Take Colomb Troops to Isth- mus Wil Be Iuformed Force May Not Land, PARIS, Nov. 10.—The French government has recognized the de facto government of the Republic of Panama. The action of France carries out the pur- poses which M. Delcasse had throughout, namely, to leave the United States uniram- meled, and to act so far as possible in sympathetic accord with the American gov- ernment. The Instructions forwarded by Foreign Minister Delcasse to the French consul at Panama authorize him to have relations with the new government. The instruc- tions are substantially the same as those sent from Washington to the United States consul at Panama and will have the effect of glving the same recognition of the new regime as the United States has al- ready given it. A formal recognition will follow later when the new government is fully organized, but the Instructions of the onsul definitely establish the attitude of France toward the new republie. The ac- tion of M. Deleasse is not yet publicly known, BERLIN, Nov. 10.—The Colomblan com- mission, If it comes here, will recetve no consideration from the German government. The corespondent of the Assoclated Press called the Forelgn office’s attention to the statement made yesterday by Arturo de Brigard, the Colombian consul general in New York, that the Colomblans were clamoring for a German protectorate over taelr country, and that the Colomblan gov- ernment had been asked to send a commis- #lon to Germany to offer Emperor Willlam certain pleces of land on both seas in re- turn for Germany's protection. The reply was: “We have no intention of mixing our- welves in the affairs of the isthmian state. ‘We are still without any information from our consular reports in rogard to the revolution, honce we have not asked the United Btates to look after our interests. ‘The statement regarding our interests in Colombla and Panama have been much ex- ®ggerated, but we hope to see our trade prosper better after the United States builds the canal.” ‘WABHINGTON, Nov. 10—An important conferonce concerning the Panama situation 1) ‘was Neld at tha White House today prior 10 the formal mecting of the cabinet. The mrfim: in the conference were Presi- dent ‘elf, Benator Hanna and mem- bers of the cabinet. The decision reached, if any, was not disclosed. It is under- #tood, however, that the decision was i purely informal and not Intended in any manner to be decisive. Bhortly before the meeting of the cab- fnet Benator Hanna arrived at the ex- ecutive offices, accompanied by W.'J. Cur- tis, & member of the law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell of New York, attorneys in this country for the new Panama Canal company. Discussed at the White House, They were admitted to the president’s | office at once, Mr. Curtls remained but a fow minutes, He sald he merely pald his respects to the president. Benator Hanna remained with the president for more than half an hour. Long after the members of the cabinet had assembled he and the president continued to talk, sev- eral of the cabinet joining In the conversa- tlon. As Benator Hanna left he sald that he and the president had not discussed the question of the chairmanship of the ublican national committee. Tn fact,” he sald, “that matter was not mentioned today. It's a dead issue any- how. ' We talked of a varlety of toplcs, among them the Panama situation. That 8 not a political question, not even a technical one. The people of this country want an isthmian canal bullt and they want it built by the Panama route. They have accepted the Panama route and they propose to stand by the president in the matter of constructing the canal by that route.” Senator Hanna was asked whether In his opinion it would be necessary to enact new legislation to provide for negotiations be- tween the United States and the Republic of Panama for the construction of that ¢anal. He replied that that was & question for a lawyer to answer. He felt that a new treaty would be necessary, of course, but did not think serfous difficulties would be encountered in negotlating a canal treaty with Panama, No Statements Given Out. The | whole situation in respect to the revolution out of which has grown the Re- { public of Panama was considered thor- oughly at the conference. Considerable ap- proval of the president and Secretary Hay in the matter was given by the members of the cabinet, It is understood that no further state- ments concerning the organization of the new republic or the megotiations between Panama and the United States regarding the construction of the isthmian canal will be made at this time. The situation, 0 far as American interests on the isthmus are concerned, Is regarded to be In excel- lent shape. The status of M. Phillppe Bauna-Varilla, the representative in this country of the Republic of Panama, was considered, but no statement concerning the matter was made at the concluston of the meeting. 1t no change in the present situation should oceur It Is not regarded as likely that any #dditional naval force will be ordered to the Isthmus. Certainly no land forces will be ordered to Panama unless the situation should take a serious turn, Glass Will He in Command. The Navy department is advised that Rear Admiral Glass, commanding the Pa- cific station, arrived at Panama this morn- ing with the cruiser Marblehead and the sunbhoat Concord, having made a quiek run from Acapuleo. Their consort, the mon- itor Wyoming, was not able to keep up with the two other vessels and probably y not reach Panama before Thursdey.

Importance is no longer attached to the emperor's wound by the court officlals, who consider that public concern can best be allayed by not saying anything except what s contained in the bulletins.

Father Kuszka today said; “I am now almost sure the Polish petition will be granted; that at least Polish vicars with the faculties and titles of an episcopal auxiliary will be appointed, or even dio- cesan bishops in some vacant sees. This is what the Polish desire, The reports of a petition for separate national dioceses are false.” CAPE COLONY SMELLS SMOKE A onch of Hottentot Rebels and Departure of Police Makes Battle Imminent, KENHARDT, Cape Colony, Monday, Nov, 9.—Hottentot rebels numbering about 1500 men are approaching the border, Po- lco have been dispatched to the scene.

A bit of disquieting information has fallen into the hands of Sheriff Smalley in the form of a plece of paper on which the fig- ures 11-11-11, are marked, and which was thrown into the court house yard where Horn could see them from his window. The same figures have been marked on bulldings across the street from the jail, in plain view of Horn's cell.

BOSTON, Nov. 10.—The delegates to the twenty-third annual meeting of the Amer- lcan Federation of Labor today reassem- bled for deliberation on subjects, the im- portant nature of which has drawn to Bos- ton labor leaders frum all parts of the country, President Gompers' address and the re- ports of Secretary Morrison and Treasurer Lennon were presented yesterday, so that the principal item of routine, as arranged for today, was to be the report of the ex- ecutive councll of the federation. It was expected that the many recom- mendations contained in President Gom- per's address would be acted upon by the convention. His declaration that the great danger which confronts the federation is the Internecine strife between affillated unions over the jurisdiction of trades has been the chief toplc of discussion among the delegates. It was generally accepted that some decided action on this matter would be taken. John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, presided for a time this afternoon at the convention of the American Federation of Labor, and he re- ceived a greeting from the delegates which was as sincere and spontanecus as it was enthustastic James Duncan of Washington, D. C., first vice president of the federation, read the report of the executive council of the or- ganization. This report was emphatic in disapproval of the Internal troubles of the federation arising from difterent conceptions a8 to what trades came within the jurisdic- tion of the various unfons. The report contained all the correspond- ence in the Miller case at Washington. It has been understood that this case will be brought up later. The executive council made no comment upon the correspondence, but later added that the trades union move- ment stands for the strictly union shop and 0 discourages the recognition of the ‘open shop.

CONFEREN&E AT WHITE HOUSE Senators d Representatives Reach No Conclusion as to Action on Cuban Treaty, WABHINGTON, Noy. 10.—The president tonight had a conference with a number of leaders in both houses of congress. Those who called on him at the White House were Becretary Moody, Speaker Cannon, Senators Alllson, Aldrich, Platt of Connecticut, Spooner, Hanna, Hale, Lodge and Wetmore and Representatives Payne, Dalzell, Taw- ney and Hemenway. The conference began after 9:30 and those who called professed not to know the purpose of the gathering or what questions were to be considered. The conference at 11 o'clock broke up. Those who attended it were very loth to discuss any feature of it, but one of the participants stated that the members of the house present had taken dinner with the president and had been called together for the purpose of golng over with the presi- dent certaln portfons of his forthcoming message to congress.. When at 9:40 the members of the senate arrived the party entered into a general discussion of the reciprocity matter now | before congyess. It developed that the old controversy between the house and senate over the desire of the former tor Initfate all leglslation was the principal toplc of con- versation. The members of the house claimed that the present treaty provides | that during the life of the convention the present duty on sugar shall not be reduced either by treaty or convention. To concede the position of the senate, they assert, would be a surrender of thefr constitutional powers. Tt was said that unless the power of the house {8 admitted there will be the same difficulty presented as at the last session with the probability that the measure will be defeated. No conclusion was reached by the conference. HOOK FOR THE CIRCUIT COURT Kansas Man's Name meluded in the Bunch of Nominat from the Prest: t.

A large number of men and wemen, spent most of thelr life's savings to reach the land, and hovering about the land office two days and standing in line several hours, all in vain. Some one else got ahead of them. Three women and two men fainted. Men would not abandon their places in the line to go to the rescue as they fell. For the most part the fights were fair and no foul methods were em- ployed, except in the case of A. J. Olsen of Elk River, Minn., worn out and exhausted, was given a hard fight by "-QVIJ clatmant who continually llfllm‘ £0- got ahéad. Both made through the crowd to the door, and just as it was almost time to open the office, a heavy blow,was Janded on' Olsen's stomach, and he fell unconscious. The rush here today broke all records for a land office business anywhere in the northwest. The total fillngs numbered 172, and about as many more were disap- pointed. The biggest price pald yesterday fell to the first filer, Miss Gustava B.

He was then carried upstairs to the balcony and thrown over the rail, a drop of twenty-five feet. On the floor beneath stood a number of students holding a sheet. 3, “When Loew fell into this,” sald the doc- tor, “he was tossed up and down until he was unconscious. After belng revived he was beaten until his body was a mass of bruises. That night he was in such a wretched condition that his roommate stayed up all night with him. Whisky and quinine were given to him during the night and in the morning he felt revived. “The following Saturday he took the sec: ond degree. In the morning he was found dead, and his chum, who had just taken the first degree, was In a serlous condition. The gullty ones should be sent to the gal- lows.

HELENA, Mont, Nov. 10—Governor Toole this afternoon called a special ses- sion of the legislature to meet on Decomber 1 at Helena to pass laws to relleve the in- dustrial condition in Montana caused by the shutting down of Amalgamated Copper company's properties, whereby 15,000 people were directly thrown out of work and 15,000 more affected. The alm of the session is to pass a law whereby cases may be taken from one court to another when the judge In the initial court Is shown to be prejudiced. Other legislation of like character has also been promised® A so-called fair trial bill of the character now proposed was passed by the last legislature, but was decided by the supreme court to be unconstitutional on technical grounds. Recently, at Butte, Judge Willlam Clancy of the district court gave a decision in which he sald that he might appoint a re- celver at any time for the Boston & Mon- tana company, one of the largest constitu- ent compunles of the Amalgamated. The decision was made on the application of John MacGinniss, a prominent holder of stock In the properties controlled, by F.

Upon this announcement by Judge Clancy President Willlam Scallon of the Anaconda Copper Mining company and general man- ager of the Amalgamated {ssued orders to shut down all the Amalgamated properties in Montana and elsewhere, declaring the company, unable to secure judicial fairness in the courts, could not continue in busi- ness. Since that time Governor Toole has been overwhelmed with petitions signed by thousands of citizens of Montana asking him to call a special session to pass laws to relleve the conditions. The works of the Amalgamated company will at once resume in various parts of the state. This includes the greater mines in Butte, the smelters, the Washoe company in Anaconda, the largest In the world; the smelters of the Boston & Montana com- pany in Great Falls, also vast in their ca- pacity; the coal mines at Storrs, Belt, Oak- dale and in Wyoming; the great quarry in northern Montana and the immense lum- ber industries in western and northwestern Montana. Probably more than 15,000 men will be em- ploved directly in the properties of the Amalgamated and that many more will be indirectly given employment in the way of turnishing supplies and the like. Great Rejoicing at Butte. ¢ BUTTE, Mont., Nov. 10.—There was great rejolcing hera when It ‘hecame kmown: that Governor Toole had called an extra session and within tén minutes whistles were blow- ing at several of the ldle mines end flags were holsted.

They still hope that this can be done. There Is a question to be settled as to the material to be used, either slate or tiling answering the specifi- cations. The latter material probably will be decided on. The contract for the roofing timbers has not yet been let and there is a possibility that enough of the 10x14 timbers which are to be lald across the fron girders cannot be obtained immediately in Omaha yards, as a large number will be required The sheeting Is to be lald diagonally over the beams, and then the slate, The fron workers expect to lift and place the proscenium arch this week and the other two trusses next week. The roof work can ‘then be done without walting for the brick, which does not support its welght. If not held back by the stone workers, the brick contractor asks for only two weeks to finish the walls. A large amount of work is being done dally, but it Is of the kind which does not show (0 the casual observer. The brick work on the south wall has been completed, with the exception of a small section at the east end, and the scaffolding removed. This wall stands four stories high and the iron beams, which are riveted in flush with its top, will support the roof promenade which will encircle the bullding. The brick workers on this wall had no stone work to walt for and 8o finish a half story ahead of the other sides. The stone men are busy in placing the stone cornice, which extends for the full length of the three street faces, and this is necessarily slow work. The Corinthian capitals for the brick pllasters have been put in position only roughly blocked out and will be carved later, as it would have taken too much time to do this during constructfon. An- other thing which has been done to save time is the omission of the stone columns from the north and west fronts where the entrance steps are to be placed. A footing for the stone work which will rest on these elghteen columns has been left and this work will be done next year, Practically all of the iron beams which will support the balcony are in place and considerably more than half have been riveted. Seven of the ten root girders have been pulled up and the lateral bracing bolted in. The derrick has been jacked up to the stage platform and is ready to raise the proscenium arch, the heaviest of the fron wosk. This has been assembled. Wark 1s mow being done on the uprights which will support the other trusses. The vault- ing arches over the basement at the south of the enclosure are being bullt in.

Chief Deputy Francls of the Hastings postoffice, who was in the city, said in reference to the Hastings postoffice mat- ter: “I am disposed to belleve that the entire matter is simply spitework on the part of Mr. Hahn. The postoffice during his ad- ministration was in the leased Grand Army building, and he leased the fixtures from the Grand Army of the Republlc boys. | When it became: necessary to change the postofice in order to furnish more con- venlent quarters for the general public a movement was at once put on foot to buy the fixtures for the new location, in order | to help the Grand Army out, and it was | in deference to this movement that the urchase of the fixtures was made by | Postmaster Fisher. Of course there ware {some opponents to the measurt and oufor this grew the present scandal. There is nothing in it, and I am of the opinion that it will never get beyond the grand jury room."

CONGRESS MUST APPROVE TREATY ToDo Otherwise, He Believes, Would Be to Aot Dishonorably. IT'S IN INTEREST OF WHOLE PEOPLE Effeet Will Be Harmiful to Ne Industry and Help Many, REPUBLIC SISTER ; S ! Lot RV:IIG Is Knit to Us by Memories of the Americans Who Fought to Sec the Little Islanders’ Freee dom from Oppression. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—*This recipro- clity (reaty stands by itself, It is demanded on consideration of broad national policy, as well as by our economic interest. It Will do harm to no industry. It will benefit many Industries.” Such is the trend and praxically the gist of the 1,00-word message sent by Preal- dent Roosevelt today to the congress he had called in eci-airdinary session to se- cure for Cuba a realization of the promises he had shared in making. Text of the M In full the message reads: ’Tu the Senate and House of Representa- Uves: I have convened the congress that it may consider the legislation necessary to put into cperation the commercial treaty with Cuba, wtich was :atified by the senate at its lust ression, and rovecquently by the Cuban government. | deem tuch leglsla- tion demanded, not only by our interest, but by our honor. We cannot with pro- priety abandon the vourse upon which wi have 50 wisely emb..rked, When ¢he accepiance of the Platt amende ment was required from Cuba by the astion of the congress of the United States, this government thereby definitely committed Itself to the pollcy of treating Cuba as oce cupying a unique position as regards this country. It was provided that when the island became a free and independent re. public she should stand in such close rela- tions with us as In certain respects to come within our system of International policy; and It necessarily follows that she must also to a certain degroe bwcome included within the lines of our ecovomic policy. Situated as Cuba is, it would not be pos- sible for this country to permit the stra tegic abuse of the plan by any foreign mil. tary power. It {8 foq this reason that cer. taln Lmitations have been imposed upon her financial poliey, and that naval sta- tions have beem conceded by her to the United States. The negotiations as to the detalls of these naval etations are on the eve of completion. They are so situated as to prevent any idea that there s the in- tention ever to use them against Cuba, or otherwise than for the protection of Cuba from the assaults of forelgn foes, and for the better safeguarding of American iu- s ests In the waters south of us, Grants Are Proof of Good Falth. ‘These interests have been inrgely in- creased by the consequences of the war with Spaln, and will be still further in- creased by the buflding of the isthmian ea~ nal. They are both military and economic, The granting to us by Cuba of the naval stations above alluded to is of the most mportance from a military standpoint, and 1s proof of the good faith with which Cuba is treating us. Cuba has made great progress since her independence was established. She has ad- vanced steadlly in every way. She already stands high a.ong her eister *epublics of the new world, She is loyally observing her chligations to us, and she is entitled to like treatment by us. The treaty submitted to you for approval gecures to the United States economic au~ vantages as great as those given to Cuba. Not an American interest is sacrificed by the treaty; a large Cuban market is sured to our producers. It is a iarge mars ket whidh lies at our doors, which is large, capable of great expansion, and which is particularly important to the development of our export trade. Tt would be, indeed, short-sighted for us to refuse to take ad- vantage of such opportunities and to force Cuba Into making arrangements with other countries to our disadvantage. This reciprocity treaty stands by itself. It is demanded on consideration of broad national policy, as well as by our economio interest. It will do harm to no industry, It will benefit many industries. Faith Pledged 1o Treaty, It is in the interest of our people as & whole, both because of its importance from the broad standpoint of international poliey and because economically it intimately con- cerns us to develop and secure the rich Cuban market for our farmers, artlsans, merchants and manufacturers. Finally, it is dcsirable as a guaranty of the good faith of our natlon toward her young sister republic to the south, whose welfare must ever be closely bound with ours. We gave her liberty. We are knit to her by the memories of the blood and the courage of our soldiers who fought for her in war; by the, memories, of the wisdom and integrity of our administrators who saved her in peace and who started her so well on the difcult path of self-government. We must help her onward and upward; and in help- ing her we shall help ourselves. The foregoing considerations caused the negotiation of & treaty with Cuba and its ratification by the senate. They now, with equal force, support the legislation by the congrees which by the terms of the treaty is necessary to render it operative. A fail- ure to enact such icgislation would come | perilously near a repudiation of the pledged 1aith of the nation. 1 transmit herewith the treaty as amended by the senate and ratified by the Cuban government.
