design contains five figures. One i'll
the center IS a woman, representing
the Territory of Louisiana. BY her
side stands Columbia placing around
her the United States flag. The gar

the French flag and the fleur de lis are
plainly recognizable in them. In the

will participate in this exploitation.
There will be ample guarantee for the
security of funds invested.
Venezuela entertains cordial and
sympathetic friendship for the United
States, and desires the closest relations
with the United States, which has al
ready signally opposed the aggression
of foreign powers. The government is
confident that-convinced of the JUS
tice of our cause.-the United States
will render Venezuela assistance in her
future difficulties. Well supported and
well applied the Monroe doctrine is of
the greatest possible Importance and
value. The motto of the United States
should be accepted by the Pan-Ameri-
ican nations, which should be bound
in dissoluble ties of comfy and friend
ship. Questions with European gov
ernments can be settled amicably, if
they have the same desire for friend
ly relations. We, the Venezuela peo-
pie, united. patriotic and courageous,
form force which will tenaciously re-
sist any attempt to infringe our soYer-
eighty or invade our territory.
with respect to Colombia the gov
ernment of Venezuela Is advised that
there has been another Invasion of our
territory from that country, the sew
enth in three years. 1t is our earnest
desire to avert war with Colombia,
and we are prepared to arrange for
settlement when peace is declared and
the courts resume their functions. The

Will be settled in the light of the law

CANAL SITES COMBINE
New Development That Is Inter.
esting Relative to the Ditch
Across the Isthmus.
NO COMPETITION FOR THE FURRoW
Nicaragua and Cosa Rica Decline to
Bid Until Colombia Is Out
of the Way.

Washington. Nov. 2G.-The cabinet
meeting yesterday was devoted al
most exclusively to the consideration
of the status of the reciprocity treaty
with Cuba and the canal treaty with
Colombia. The bitches that have oc-,
CURED in the negotiations for canal
treaty were discussed, as were also
the prospects of settlement. The pres
ent state of affairs relative to the cana!
would have Il tendency to stimulate
negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica for the alternate route, but it now
appears that the diplomatic representa-
tiyes of those countries are not dis
posed to allow themselves to be used
TO coerce Colombia, and therefore are
deSirOus of remaining in the back
ground until it shall be clearly estab-
lished that 10 treaty can be made be-
tween Colombia and the United States.
New Feature in the Case.
One of the statements of fact in
connection with the Panama route
which has been brought to the atten-
tion of the state department is that
the original canal concessions will eX-
pire in 1904. and it has been suggested
that the Colombian government has
that fact in mind. and is disposed to
refrain from making a treaty now, in
the expectation that the franchise will
lapse, and it thus may be in Il posi-
ton to build the canal itself. or TO sell
new concession.
Would Raise a Serious Question.
r..aiS
serious question between the CoIom-
bian government, the Panama Canal
company. the French government and
the government of the United States
as to whether or not supplement-
airy decree extending the hecOncession ten
years from 1901 was valid.
Presidents Message Complete.
President Roosevelt laid before the
cabinet his annual message to CON
gress in completed form. 1t was sent
to the printer yesterday. Most of the
features of the document were familiar
to the members of the cabinet. and
only such parts of the message as
had not been considered previously
were read in full.
Proposed New Cabinet Member.
President Roosevelt yesterday in
formed Representative Hepburn. chair.
man of the EouSe committee on inter
state and foreign commerce, that he
would appoint at once Il representative
from each of the government depart
ments to confer with his committee
as to the cSeatiOn by congress of Il
department of commerce, and to fur
nish any information desired. Hep
burn is confident that bill creating the
department of commerce will be
passed at the approaching session of
congress.

the commission is Il just one and will
make such IL declaration as will fo"

tices and oppression of non-unionists.
and that it is an important duty Ito
prove that the continued and repeated
charges of injustice. barbarity and eX-

are absolutely unfounded.'
The meeting of the independent OPP
orators and railroad officials lasted
about an hour, and at its close Presi-
dent Fowler. of the New York, On
tario and Western, said that President
Baer was preparing statement Later
the statement was issued and Baer left
at once for Philadelphia. The state
ment given out by Baer says:
"They 1.-THE private operatorsl met
the coal presidents who had signed the
request to the president of the United
States. They presented a protest
against any adjustment being made at
this time, insisting that the principles
involved were so serious and affect
ed so many interests that it was nee
essary now to have the commission
hear all facts and pass its judgment
upon the whole controversy.
''AIr. Simpson. as chairman, read
paper, expressing their views, and 9th
er gentlemen expressed decided opin-
ions. In the midst of the conference
the request came from Washington
to the operators of both classes to
meet Mr.. Mitchell and his associates
next Friday morning at 10 O'Clock.
The parties present, without dissent,
instructed Mr.. Baer to make the fol
lowing answer: The conditions are
such that no substantial progress can
be made by the suggested meeting.
The general judgment of the operators
is that it will be best for the present
to go on with the hearing"
