Senator Morgan took the floor when | the Senate went into executive session. WHe made a general protest agalnst the confirmation of Buchanan as Minister | on the ground that the position to | | which the President had made the ap- pointment was not in existence at the | { time the apgointment was made and could not be created without the co- operation of the Senate. Senator | Spooner answered for the Republicans. He cited numerous authorities and pre- cedents in support of the President's action. Senator Allison also spoke briefly in support of the administration and Sen- | ators Bacon and Culberson favored the Democratic contention.

Among | i | the signers of the petition are Franklin Carter, formerly president of Williams | College; Henry Wade Rogers, dean of the Yale law school; Frank K. Sanders, dean of the Yale divinity school; Pro- fessors William G. Sumner and John C. Schwab of the department of political economy at Yale University, Secretary C. A. Lindsley of the State Board of Health, the Rev. Dr. Newman Smythe, | the Rev. Watson L. Phillips and Thom- as Hooker, members of the Board of | Education, and Samuel L. Bronson, | formerly a Democratic candidate for Governor of the State. l After declaring that there is a recog- nized body of law which ought to gov- ern the conduct of nations, frre- | spective of their strength, the petition | says that a beliet has arisen in the minds of many in this country and abroad “that in our dealings with the | state of Colombia we have violated and | are about to violate the rules of inter- | national law, and that we are adopting | a line of conduct toward that country which we would not have taken against | a stronger power.” The petition further says that the fact of Colombia’s comparative weak- | ness should make us the more careful to avoid the suspicion that we are mak- ing an unjust use of our greater power; that the mere existence of such a sus- picion is injurious to our honor and self-respect, and concludes: “We therefore respectfully ask that before final ratification of the Hay- Bunau Varilla treaty our actlon in | Panama be carefully and deliberately investigated, to the end not only that this republic may do no wrong, but that its good reputation in the world, which is dearer than any gain of lands or trade, should suffer no loss.” WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—Senator Platt of Connecticut says that he has received no Information concerning the action of the New Haven residents who have forwarded a petition to Senator Hoar. “They may have thought I would not present the petition,” jocularly re- marked Senator Platt. He added: “There is a very strong anti-imperialist { in New Haven who is much opposed to the ratification of the Panama treaty, and possibly he inaugurated the move- ment.” LT S NEW REPUBLIC MAY GROW. Island of San Andres Secks Annexa- tion to Panama. COLON, Jan. 11.—The schooner Herald, which arrived here yesterday afternoon from Bocas del Toro, brought a commissioner from the isl- and of San Andres, who will endeavor to obtain the annexation of San Andres to the republic of Panama, owing to the dissatisfaction of the inhabitants of the island at the recent oppressive actions on the part of the Colombian authorities. The commissioner went to Panama this afternoon to confer with the junta. He says 400 Colom- bian troops are now in garrison on thed islands of San Andres and Providence and that more soldiers are expected momentarily. The dissatisfaction, he adds is gen-l eral throughout the islands. During the past few weeks no less than $18,- 000 has been collected by means of the property tax, which the inhabitants are nét in a position to meet, but which they have been compelled to sider Confirmation of W. I. Buchanan’s to the | forts, for the production is one of if | and wears some gowns that were great- pay. Several families have already migrated to Bocas del Toro; conse- quently the ports of Providence and San Andres are now closed. Coast- ing vessels are not alowed to leave. This does not apply to American ves- sels trading with San Andres. The commissioner, who is a seafaring man, left San Andres surreptitiously at night time in a small schooner bound for Bocas del Toro. Many of those who desire the an- nexation of San Andres to Panama de- clined to sign the petition, fearing the possible consequences.

The United States marines encamp- ed at Empire and Bas Obispo are kept busy cleaning up the grounds sur- rounding the camps, which are lo- cated on a healthy hill close to the railroad. The marines also have cleaned the canal company’s houses. Owing to the insufficient number of houses about 200 of the marines are camping in tents. This is now permis- sible, as the dry season has set in. The marine officers are anxious to study the trails leading toward the camps from Porto Bello. One party of thirteen men came intp Bas Obispo recently after having covered seventy miles across a mountainous country in six days. Another and similar ex- pedition will set out from Porto Bello in a day or two under the command of Captain Louis M. Littl A LA 3 REYES MAKES A THREAT. May Publish Correspondence Between Secretary Hay and Himself. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—General Reyes, the Colombian special Min- ister here, had an hour's conference to-day with the Secretary of State at the latter’s home respecting the Pan- ama situation. He announced after the interview that he would leave Washington, not expecting to return. He departed for New York to-night. General Reyes, in his last note to the State Department, threatened to{ publish the correspondence between himself and the State Department if | the department did not see fit to send | it to the Senate or make it public. The State Department ignored the threat. Senator Morgan to-day introduced a concurrent resolution in the Senate calling upon the President to proceed under the terms of the Spooner act to construct an isthmian canal on the Costa Rican and Nicaraguan route, | The resolution went over, under the rules. —— LOCAL COMPOSERS EVOLVE A CLEVER MUSICAL FARCE “The Beauty Shop” Is Given Its First Presentation at Fischer's and ¥s Heartily Applauded. “The Beauty Shop” was given its first presentation at Fischer's Theater last night and the frequent applause with which the piece was greeted at every turn was a tribute to the talents | of local composers who, evolved the | lyrics and music of the farce. J. C.| Crawford and Miss Ada Clement have every reason to be proud of their ef- | not the best that has ever been given | at this playhouse, or will be as socn | as the second and third acts are whip- | ped Into as good shape as the first. | The material is there and all that is| necessary is for the performers to per- | fect themselves in their several parts. Miss Helen Russell, the new leading lady, made an unmistakable hit from the moment that the tones of her mag- nificent voice were heard in the first | number, *“Navajo,” until they were given full play in a waltz song by Strauss. Her voice iIs flexible, well cul- tivated and under splendid control, and | she Is most generous of a splendid hlgh note, of which she sang no less than | six in her first song. Her rendition of | “Comin’ Thro’ the Rye” was a gem in | its way and she was compelled to re- peat it no less than three times, and then the audience was loth to let her g0. Her dramatic powers suffered scmewhat, most likely from the fact that she was nervous and probably tired from a rehearsal which did not end until an hour before the regular performance began. she is handsome 1y admired. John Peachey, the new leading man, proved a valuable acquisition to the company with his pleasing barytone voice, which he used to advantage in “Obstinate Lizzie May,” one of Miss Clement's best musical bits in the piece. Peachey earned the favor of the audi- ence at once m_m in every way de- served it. Georgia O'Ramey demonstrated her versatility as “Sapho Sweeney” in a| make-up that was so ugly that one marvels how such a pretty girl can, transform herself into such a hideous | creature. Miss O’'Ramey is so homely (in the play) that the same one could wish that Madame Voluptia, the beau- ! ty doctor (Miss Russell), would use| some of her art to beautify her before | the end of the last act. Miss O"Ramey's specialty with Ben Dillon, who plays‘K Professor Hercules Branagan, was one | of the successes of the piece, which were many. Dillon’s boxing bout with Pugsy McGurk was excruciatingly funny. Kolb and Dill are names to conjure with, and it is needless to say that they lived up to their reputations as German comedians per excellence in the parts of C. Schwabber Pilsener and Jay Bier- pump Culmbacher, the latter the presi- dent of the pretzel trust. The audience rose to the occasion when Dill entered as the 'thin man and Kolb as the fat man after treatment in Madame Volup- tia’s establishment, for it was then that Dill turned the tables on Kolb and ad- ministered a succession of kicks on his | stomach in return for the many he had ! received from his partner in the past. The audience was hysterical when Dill blurted, out, “You did this to me for | years; now I get back at you.” Allen Curtis also did good work as Jay Gould and helns in the fun to a large extent. The Althea twin sisters are clever, and their singing of “My Chocolate Cream,” with the dance accompaniment, was gracefully done. The chorus displayed a variety of pretty costumes in the | numbers “We're Being Educated,"” “Along the Line,” “Matutinal Medley" and “Gathering Shells.” The local al- lusions were comical and tickled the risibilities of the audience. The staging of the piece was excellent, — e An Impressive Advertisement.

Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Jan. 1l.—Repre- sentatives Metcalf, Needham and Gil- lette, at a conference to-day, at which the need of relief to the United States courts of California was discussed, de- cided to each introduce a bill to-mor- row making as many different provi- sions to the same end, with a view that all be referred to the Judiclary Com- mittee and there the whole problem be threshed out and the plan most to be desired adopted. Metcalf’s biil will provide for an ad- ditional District Judge to be appointed by the President and having the same powers and jurisdiction ds the other; the senfor Circuit Judge of the Ninth Circuit -or the resident Circuit Judge within the district to make all neces- sary arrangements, and for the assign- ments of cases for northern districts. Needham’s bill will provide for the creation of a new district, to be known as the Eastern District, to include counties contiguous to the capital city and the court to sit in Sacramento. Gillette’s bill also will provide for a new district, to be called the Eastern, the court to sit in Oakland, prefererce being given that city because most of the work of the court would be in the circuit of San Francisco, and the Judge thus be near at hand. Metcalf says he does not see the ne- cessity of a new court with its expense for United States Marshal, clerk and other officials, as he believes another | Judge will answer every purpose in re- lieving the stress of business.

HONOLULU, Jan. 5.—After twenty | vears of service the Kalakaua silver has passed out of existence as legal tender. QOnly about $815,000 of the coin has been redeemed, and the re- maining $185,000 is worth only about half of its face value, theoretically, for with all the dire predictions in the United States of what might happen if the backing of the Government is | withdrawn from the silver dollar, the | Hawaiian coin’ is worth just as much | now as it ever was. The coin, how- | ever, has a historic worth that will always keep it above par. Not a single dime was offered for redemption. There were $25.000 | worth of dimes originally brought to Hawali when Claus Spreckels had a | million dollars coined for King Kala- kaua in 1883. The dime didn't re- main in circulation long, for specu- lators saw a splendid opportunity to make a little money on the side and bought in the entire issue of 10-cent pleces. After that the dimes could only be obtained at a premium, and they are quoted now at 40 and 50 cents apiece. The remaining $160,000 which have not been offered for re- demption are probably scattered to| the four quarters of the globe. The bulk of it has been used in the man- ! ufacture of jewelry—pins, cuff but- tons, belts, buckles, etc.—while a | good many thousands of dollars’ worth of the coin ls believed to have been melted in the big Chinatown fire. All the jewelers have laid in an extra supply of the coin within the past few months, and probably sev- | eral thousand dollars are tied uo in this way. Collectors of coins have also invested largely in the Hamauan\ silver, and although Intrinsically the money is not worth more than 50 | murder.

BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 11.—Harry R. Fletcher, a well-known employe of the Kern County Land Company, who has resided in Kern County for nearly four- teen years, was arrested last night by Deputy Sheriff Tower on a charge of The arrest was made on an order from Sheriff Dillard of Texar- kana, Ark. The crime is alleged to have been committed nearly fifteen years ago. Details are lacking, but it is said that Fletcher, whose right name is reported to be James R. Coffee, is accused of killing his cousin, Fred Cof- fee, in Hemstead County, Arkansas, in 1887 or 1888, that he broke jail and has been a fugitive from justice ever since. Fletcher has been known for many years in Bakersfield, where he has been more or less steadily employed by the Kern County Land Company in the bullding department. He is a carpenter by trade. During his employment he has been saving his money and he re- cently purchased from the land com- pany a house and lot on E street, near Twentleth. To this home he lately brought his mother and sister, Mrs. B H. Bell, and more recently Mr. Bell, who was residing in E! Paso, jolned his wife here. Bell says that all was not harmony in the household and that Fletcher did not treat Mrs. Bell prop- erly. Resenting this alleged ill-treat- ment Bell notified the officers in Bakersfleld and those in Texarkana that J. R. Coffee, wanted for murder at the latter place, was none other | than Harry R.
