PAUL, Jan. 8. president of the Northern Pacific Rail- way, was tendered a reception in the | parlors of the Commercial Club to | night, thus making his formal entry | into the business life of St. Paul. About 200 business men of St. Paul were pres- |ent and a large delegation frem the | Minneapolis Commercial Club Jjoined in the welcome to the new president of the Northern Pacific. For haif an hour Elliott and Presi- dent Smith of the club were kept busy shaking hands, and later Elliott was the central object of a number of speeches of welcome from prominent business men. To all of these he re- sponded in an earnest manner by a carefully prepared address in which he spoke hopefully of the future of the Northwest and the Northern Pacific Railway as ome of the essentials to that success. HILL Probably the most important address, | one which commanded the closest at- tention, was that of President J. J. Hill of the Great Northern Railway. Hill introduced his remarks by calling attention to the contrast between the present and the future; of what growth and success had come to the Twin Cities, and said: Railway has been one fic Suddenly Hill, in his brusque man- ner, broke off and began to talk about restraint, and that was the keynote of his brief talk.

He referred to the people of Canada as the “folks who live north of us and wear our coats, and people who wear our coats are good commercially, because they usually pay their debts.” He referred to the Panama canal as a good thing for a man who had an appetite for bananas. He would like it buiit, and it might do some good, but it would not help the people of the North much, even though they did pay part of the expense of building it. —————— OF FISHERMAN IS FOUND AT MUSSEL ROCK Remains of Giuseppi Guardi, Who Was Drowned With His Brother December 22, Washed® Ashore.

LONDON, Jan. 10.—The Daily Mail's Chefu correspondent asserts that, - in the event of a victorious war, Japan would conciude a treaty with China, opening Manchuria to all foreign trade. Among the minor items of the news this morning is the report that the Russian warship Boyaran has ar- rived at Chemulnd arfd the sfatemient Ythat'the foreign consuls at Newchwang have lodged a unanimous protest with the Russian Administrator against renaming the streets with Russian names. In editorial discussions of the crisis the London morning papers attach great importance, first to the dec- laration of French policy contained in an interview with the first secretary of the French embassy in London that the present arrangement between France and Great Britain was such that it could not be disturbed and that even if Korea and China should join Japan they would not be looked upon as powers within the meaning of the Franco-Ruseian treaty, which statement is held to greatly strengthen the British Government's efforts in favor of peace; and, second, to the report of Major Nathan of the British army on the inefficiency of the Siberian Railway as likely to have great influence with the Russian Government in deciding the uitimate question of peace or war. A writer in the Daily Chronicle contends that Japan's great mistake was her omission to strike last October, The writer adds: “If it is true that Japan then yielded to British representations we have undertaken a great responsibility.” Russian correspondents continue 10 report extensive milita: fall on the Russian boerses yesterday.

STATUS OF BUCHANAN. In an executive session of tHe Senate tu-day the nomination of W. I Bu- chanan to be Minister to Panama was discussed for more than two hours, the ' debate being confined almest entirely 1o the constitutional right of the Presi- { dent to appoint a' Minister to the new republic without the co-operation of the ! Senate. 4 The point was raised by the Demo- crats that the position to which Bu- chanan was nominated was not in ex- istence when the appointment was made, and that the Fresident had no right to create the position, except with the consent of the Senate. The Demo- crats whe supported this position were Morgan, Bacon, Bailey, Pettus and Blackburn. - The “Republican Senators almost upanimously Supported the ac- tion of the President. : They declared he acted wholly' within his constitu- tional prerogatives. 'The principal ar- guments on that side of the question were made by Lodge, Cuilom, McCo- "' mas, Spconer, Fairbanks and Allison. No decision was reached, and it was agreed that the question would be con- sidered again on Monday. The status of Buchanan. who is now at Panama acting virtually as Minis- ter of the United States, was discussed at length. Senators Bacon and Balley in their speeches argued that the Presi- dent either usurped the functions of the Senate by dispatching a Minister to Panama whose nominatien had not | been .confirmed or had sent Buchanan | there as an envoy, or commissioner, ' without color of law. They held that, as the Senate was in session, the Presi- dent lawfully could not send a Minis- | ter to a foreign country without the advice and consent of the Senate. | DEFEND THE PRESIDENT. | Cullom, Lodge and Fairbanks took ! the position that the President had the right to nominate a Minister to Pana- | ma, notwithstanding the fact that no such office previously existed. They claimed, however, that Buchanan was | not acting as a Minister. and that the | President had not constituted him as such. He was, they said, merely a | personal representative of the Presi- | dent, dispatched t¢ Panama on a dip- lomatic mission and responsible alone to the President. A precedent for this action was cited in the case of Blount, | who was sent to Hawaii by President Cleveland, and whose authority was paramount, notwithstanding the fact that an American Minister was at Honolulu exercising diplomatic func- tions. The general current of the debate divided on party lines, though ques- tions propounded by Senators Spooner and Heyburn, both Republicans, show- ' ed they entertained some doubts as' to the legality of Buchanan's acts at ' Panama until he was confirmed as Minister by the Senate. * i means at their command in an effort to locate the offender. 1 In every department at the post drilling is the order of the day.
