President Roosevelt.
STATE DEPARTMENTS VIEWS.
Secretary Hay Thinks Both Turkey and
Bulgaria should Be Compelled, by
Force il Necessary, to Get Bandits
Reports to White House.

Washington, D. c., dispatch: THE
plan by which France coerced Turkey
and the success of that plan are both
a justification and precedent for ac-
ton by the United States with respect
both TO Turkey and Bulgaria.
1T has been demonstrated by French
diplomacy that it is possible to deal
with Turkey summarily without pre-
cipitating an international war"
The foregoing are official views
which have been conveyed by the State
Department to the White House, and
which will be the keynotes of impor-
tant diplomatic representations, both
to Turkey and Bulgaria, growing out of
the Miss Stone incident, which is ex-
tremely embarrassing and annoying
to the President. The settlement of the
French claims will be followed prompt
ly by a statement of policy by the
President toward Turkey and Bulgaria,
which will be in the form of an Ill
timatum and will bring both of these
powers to terms, even if a repetition
or the prompt and decisive naval DEM
onstrations of France is necessary
Smyrna, in Asia Minor, is the port
at which the State Department casts
its eye, and no doubt it would be seized
by an American squadron should cir
cumstances demand it to enforce
the Presidents demands. President
Roosevelt is exasperated. He will not
let Turkey or Bulgaria ignore the de-
sire OF this government that the Miss
Stone incident cease to be an open
question. The Chief Executive pro-
poses to show in the early part of his
administration that American citizens
must be respected and protected every
where. President Roosevelt feels that
the United States navy is strong
enough to make its claims good any
where in the world, either alone or in
a combination that can always be Sc
cured. Secretary Hay believes prompt
and drastic measures are necessary to
force Turkey and Bulgaria to action
If Miss Stone is to be rescued He
believes that demonstration in Turk

house will force the Porte to grant
better security 20 American citizens

OPPOSITION Is NOT UNITED
Louisiana Democrats VIII Favor Ihe Phil
ipPine Tarin Measure.

Washington, Dec. 12-Numerous
conferences of Democratic members
were held prior to the meeting of the
ways and means committee yesterday
because of the question which had
arisen as to united opposition to the
Philippine bill drafted by the Repub-
lican members. This bill imposes
Dingley tariff duties on all articles
imported into the United States from
the Philippines and perpetuates in
force the tariff proposed by the Taft
commission for the islands. The
Dingley duties collected here are to be
paid into the island treasury and eN-
pended for the islands. while our coast
wise shipping laws are not extended
to the islands.
1t developed that the four Louisiana
members now in the city-RobertSOn,
Meyer. Davey and Ransdell-were IA
vorable to the bill. and that the two
Louisiana members out of the city
Broussard and Braezeale-probabl
would favor it. The Louisiana men,
bers made no concealment of the fact
that the sugar industry OF their state
required the measure of protection
against Philippine sugar which the
majority bill gave by applying the
DinGley rates. Under these circum-
stances the minority members reached
no united decision as to opposing tbs
bill, and although there will be n MI
r0rity report opposing the measure on
neral grounds the Louisiana men,
bers will hold themselves individually
free to vote for the bill.
At the meeting of the ways and
means committee Chairman Payne was
directed to favOrably report to the
house the Philippine tariff bill. The
report Will be made tomorrow and the
bill will h. considered in the house
next Tuesday. with vote at 4 y. m.

cOntended that the new treaty radical
ly changes the conditions presented by
the nrSt Hay-Pauncefote treaty, be
cause the treaty itself would permit
the United States, under international
law. to own. manage and defend the
canal in any way that it may choose.
In other words. he added, in n war
with Great Britain or with any other
power the treaty would be suspended.
under the law which governs nations,
until the war should be concluded.
when it would be revived and again
enforced.
He admitted that the new treaty re-
tains the general principle of neutral
ization, but lie urged that it does not
re-enact or keep alive any of the pro-
visions of the treaty of 1850. While
ii retains the doctrine of naturalization,
the provision making that retention ap-
plies, the senator contended, to all ma
tionS alike. but to none Of them for
any longer time than they observe the
regulations prescribed by the United
States. When they should fail in this
observance we could close the canal
under the terms of the treaty. All ma
tionS would be treated on terms OF
fairness and equality by allowing all
to use the canal in time of peace and
shutting out all in time of war in case
it should be found desirable to do so.
In short, Senator CullOm urged that
there IS no provision in the pending
convention which would interfere
with our right as n nation to close up
the waterway to any belligerent power.

of Mr.. and Mrs. William Hartman of

it is said, and they were married in
Chicago two or three weeks ago.

lose his job. He persuaded her to
write to her father for the money.
