OF Bonds Issued by Venezuela.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2.-The curtain was
drawn at the Cabinet meeting to-day on the
efforts Of the Seligman syndicate to have
the United States Government guarantee
the payment of bonds to be issued by Vene-
zuela for raising money from the syndicate
with which to pay her obligations to Ger
many and England.
Secretary Hay. to whose judgment Presi.
dent Roosevelt deferred in the matter
placed his veto on the suggestion that the
guarantee be given, and 1t IL believed that
there will be no further attempt to make
the United States IA party 10 the financial
settlement Of the German and British claims.
Mr. Hay Endorsed the spirit and the letter
Of what acting Secretary OF State Hill told
Mr.. Seligman yesterday. The President
accepted Mr.. Hays view and Mr.. Selgman
will he so informed. Mr. Seligman did no,
remain In Washington to see Mr.. Hay. He

BRIGHT FOR CANAL TREATY.
Negotiations TO Be Resumed To-day-Cause
Of Deadlock With Concha.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The roget iations

Of Panama Canal treaty will I've removed
Tomorrow at the State Departm ent, when
DR.. Thomas Herran. Charge dATaires ad

call on Secretary Hay under instruct ions
from his Government for that purpose
Confidence il expressed in official circles
that the treaty will be perfected soon and
that its terms will meet with the views
OF those Senator's who. have been con-
suited az to the character and scope Of the
agreement which the Senate will demand.
The question that brought about a dead
lock between the two Governments or
rather between the United States and
senior Corcha personally. was the inter-
probation Of a clause giving the United
States a lease Of the canal strip for ore
hundred years. with the option 81 renewing

the authorities at Bogota.

Herran will follow the views Of the Colom-

HOW MESSAGE WAS RECEIVED.
SURPRISE AT PRESIDENTS MILD.
NESS or STATEMENT.
Leaders In both Houses Practically Agreed
That II Contains Nothing TO Change the
DO.NOthing Programme Agreed Upon
The Little ParaEraph About Anthracite

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-President Roose
welt has been SO Enthusiastically frank in
discussing public questions with public men
that it was very we'll known in advance what
he would recommend In his annual message
sent to Congress to-day.
Little surprise was created, therefore, by
the reading of the document. which was
listened To with close attention. If any
surprise at all was caused by what the ines
sage contained it was due TO the President +
midnc~s of statement and cQnservatism
of language. for those who listened most
closely to it's reading could detect nothing
radical and no sign Of his repued
Strenuosiry.
The message as a whole Is generally COM
mended 10y congressman and the leaders
in both houses are practically unanimous
in the opinion that it contains no recon.
mendation that will cause them TO change
the do-nothing programme already for
mally agreed upon.
But there is one little sentence In the mes-
sage entirely characteristic Of Mr.. Roosevelt
and which II Is thought no other President
would have sent to Congress along with a
recommend ation that the tariff be let alone.
The closing paragraph of the Presidents
Si4dpt'T on lile ldl N subject IL IA lOIlONs.
I'm my Judgment. the tarin on Anthracite
coal should bc removed and anthracite put
actually, where IL now Is nornii ally, Oh the
free list. This would have no effect at all
save in crises, but la crises IL might be u
service TO the people.
One of the Republican leaders Of the
Senate, after reading This Fart Of the mes
sage to-day. said: Now, that recommended
tion is characteristic OF Roosevelt That il
an Indication of hi-- impulsiveness He
found out that by n parliamentary trick. SO
to speak, duty was placed on anthracite
coal although Congress never inter ded II
should be, and 50 he promptly recommends
that IL DE removed
Now, suppose the House Of Representa-
tives should take him at his word and pass
a bill removing the duty on coal a. fixed by
the Dinsley law VIVA, would happen?
Why, the I'LL would 60 TO the Senate, where
il would he open to amendment ard limit less
debate and the Demo, rats would have the
pleasure Of inaugurating a general tariff
discussion and a general tarif revision, If
they saw Tit, using a. q basis the modest
little bill restoring all grades OF anthracite
10 the free list.
If Is strange that tie President did rot
think & this when he framed his recon-
mendation or that he did not hapIen to
mention 10 some Of the wise heads that ii
was in his message ~ that he might have
been led to leave il out. But | guess the
House # Representatives won't lass any
lii with regard to tie duty on coal, 30 We
need not worry vet

LONDON LINES the MESSAGE.
Remarkable for Its LOFTY Idealism, says
the standard"

Special Cab'e DssYiich 10 THE SUN.
LoSDoN. Dec. 3. comment on President
Roosevelt message 10 Congress Is almost
wholly favorable.
The Stdndird saws that il il more remark
abk for the lofty idealism nf its language
than for any boldness in specific recommon-
datiOus. It's references 10 Americas for
cign policy. the navy, the convention with
Canada and arbitration will have the ap-
provol Of most people in this country.
The general eject If the message will be-
trauQuili2ing
The Telegraph says that the message
bears the imprint of strong mind. Mr.
Roosevelt breaches a doctrine Of plain
Anglo-SaSon common sense. The policy
enunciatod will be- heartily approved by
the most intelligent and well-inforrned
politicians in Great Britain
The Morning Post says that, on the whole
the message is one Of complacency and
good humor. The paper remarks that
Attorneys General Knoxs policy in regard
TO trusts apparently will be substituted
for what seemed To be the President :
resolution when he spoke in Vermont and
Maine.
The Rdiiy Ners declares that. on the
whole, 1t may be doubted IL the declaration
has any vital effect on American polit les
and the industr rial situation. which domi-
mates politics moro and more Nobody
can doubt the sincerity of Mr.. Roosevelt +
professions, but he is probably aware
that a campaign against trusts and tariffs
would smash his party To atoms and leave
him struggling single-handed against the
most powerful vested interests In tho world.
The Daily Mat says: 1T is an imperial
message to an imperial people. President
Roosevelt has struck the stridcnt noto of
the eagle on the wing"
The Times Is impressed by the identity
Of the message in all substantial points
with the message Of last year. II says il
may strike note Of concilation. oven COM
promise, as appears To be the view in New
York, but only by comparison with the
Presidents speeches to popular audiences
II would be extremely difficult to show
that it is less emphatic or ess clear than
its predecessors.
