publican National Committee reaching
this conclusion today and adjourning sub
Iect to call. Pittsburg and st. Louis were

Chicago, $75, 900; and hall. The vote

The work of the committee was har-
monious throughout.

many Republican members of the House.
Several minor questions were referred to
special committees. Included In this list
was the representation asked for Porto
Rico, Hawaii and Luzon; the Socialistic
problem and tie political right of the me-

are qualified to vote at the approaching
municipal election. But for the strong ap'
peals Of the city press and the unceasing
effort of political aspirants we doubt if
more than half the 5000 would have paid
their poll tax in time to vote at this cleo
ton. The same kind of effort will have
to be made in advance of each aud every
future election, or the great number OF
disfranchised voters will be constantly in

MARINES LANDED.

Colon, December IA company OF
marines from the United States steam
ship Prairie was landed here today under
the command of Captain Smetley D. But'
Ter and entrained for Panama, whence
the marines will be sent to point on the
Coast south of Panama. This step was in
consequence of the receipt of information
that Colombian troops had landed 10 that
direction with the object of marching on
Panama. If this is confirmed it will mean
the beginning of a long campaign OF
guerrilla warfare on the Yaviza, up the
San Miguel Gulf and Tqira river.

GENERAL REYES HOPE.

Washington Dec, 14.-General Reyes
called at the State Department today and
was closeted with Assistant Secretary
Loomis for nearly an hour. In reply to
a question the general said he had given
assurances to this government that pend
ing bis diplomatic mission to Washington
there would be no hostilities upon the
part of the Colombian troops. AS to
what would be done after that the Gen
eral would make no statement, but signli'
cantly shrugged his shoulders, He would
not disclose the nature of the paper which
he is preparing for presentation to the
State Department, but wanted it said that
Colombia, in that statement, would not
make any demand for part Of the $40,
900, 900 to be paid to Panama, in con-
sideration of the canal treaty. General
Reyes expressed the hope that there
would be no war between the United
States and Colombia.
"The United States civilization" be
said. She wants to be on friendly terms
with the countries of the South.

Washington, Dec, l4.-The navy de-

from Admiral Coghlan, both dated Colon
the 13, as follows:
"Mayfower today reports Cartagena
and Pinzon we're at Turbo with four to
eight hundred men. Took in some sup
plies. Sailed the 9Th and supposed to
have landed the troops at Gandi. Atlanta
however, was at Gandi the 9th, and got
opposite information, and United States
consul Cartagena reports Cartagena retur.

troops were at Turbo the Sth; that in

day to Gulf for further search"
The second dispatch reads:

or heard anything of troops or vessel

dition of officers and enlisted men to
make the ships worth having Mean
while the navy department has seen
to it that our ships have constantly
exercised at sea, with the great guns
and in maneuvers. SO that their eff
ficiency as fighting units, both Ia
dividually and when acting together,
has been steadily improved.
All of This Necessary.
Remember that all of this is neces-
sary. A war ship is huge bit of
mechanics well-nigh as delicate and
complicated as it is formidable. IL
takes years to build it. 1t takes years
to teach the officers and men how to
handle it to good advantage. 1t is an
absolute impossibility to improvise a
navy at the outset of war.
To lay up battleship and only
send it afoat at the outset of a war.
with a raw crew and untried officers,
would be not merely a folly but a
crime, for it would invite both disas-
ter and disgrace The navy which SC
quickly decided in our favor the war
of 1898 had been built and made eff
ficienr during the preceding fifteen
years. All honor to the gallant OFF,
GERS and the gallant men who ac-
tually did the fighting: but remember,
too, to honor the public men. the ship
wrights. and steel workers. the owners
of shipyards and armor plants, to
whose united foresight and eXerti0n
we owe it that in 1898 we had craft
so good, guns SO excellent, and Amer
lean seamen of so high a type in the
coming towers, in the gun tur e. S,
and in the engine rooms.
1t is too late to prepare for war when
war has come: and if we only pre-
pare sufficiently no war will ever come
We wish a powe. full and efficient ma
Wy, not for purposes of war, but as
the surest guaranty of peace. If we
have such a navy-if we keep on
building 1t up-we may rest assured
that there is but the smallest chance
that trouble will ever come to this ma
ton; and we may likewise rest as
sured that no foreign power will eve
quarrel with us about the Monroe
doctrine.

Honor.

Milwaukee, April f. = President
Roosevelt was the guest of the Mil
waukee Merchants and Manufacture
ers' association at a banquet at the
Plankinton House last night, the &C.
casion being the grand climax Of the
presidents visit to Milwaukee. Cow
ers were laid for $50 representative
citizens. A corps of skillful decorators
had worked out complete trans
formation Of the banquet room, which
was fairly canopied with Alabama
smilax. A thousand electric lights lent
enchanting beauty to the room.
There We're Thirteen Tables.
The president sat in the center Of a
long table with other guests of honor.
At his immediate right sat United
States Senator Quarles. while F. A.
Wadhams, president of the Milwaukee
Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation. and POSTMASTER Of the occa-
sion, was seated at his left. Extend
ing In opposite directions from the
presidents table were twelve other Ia.
bles at which the members Of the
Merchants and Manufacturers assO-
citation and their friends were seated.
President Speaks OF Trusts.
After the banquet had been served
Toastmaster Wadhams introduced
President Roosevelt, who responded to
the toast, 1.-The President of the Unit
ed States" The president took this
occasion to give his views to the sub
ject of trusts"
All Go When the President Goes,
1t was nearly midnight when the
president concluded his address, and as
mis- train was due to leave at midnight
he left the banquet hall before the pro-
gramme had been completed. When
the president arose it seemed to be
the signal for a general departure of
the guests and the banquet programme
proceeded no further. The presidential
party left for Lacrosse and Minneapo-
lis shortly after midnight.

President Given Proof That Race Suicids
Is Not Imminent.
The president was received at Evan
ston with pomp and ceremony, with
bands playing and swords and bay
onets glistening. Twenty minutes'lat-
er on an improvised platform on the
campus before the grim old university
hall of Northwestern university, fac
ing cheering thousands of students, he
stood forth not as the president but
as one of theIn-a fellow member of
the alumni. As such he joked and
laughed with the assembled students
and talked with an inf0rmality that
surprised and charmed his auditors.
Their pleasure found expression in I'M
restrained laughter and hearty cheers
and was obviously as great as that
experienced by the president when the
children surprised him. There was
nothing doing at Evanston while the
president was there, except welcoming
the guest.
Throughout the course to the uni
versity the streets were lined. Chill
dren were on all sides In charge Of
their school teachers bearing flags and
flowers. 1t was just before the cam
pus was reached that the shower Of
flowers was thrown by class of little
ones. Roosevelt acknowledged the
compliment with a smile and by dcf-
fling his hat. He picked up a bright
red carnation that fell close tC his feet
and pinned it to the lapel of his coat
He also referred to the abundance Of
children in his speech, saying he was
glad to see that both in quality and
quantity" they were up TO the mark.
The ceremonies at Evanston ended
the president and party returned to
Chicago. At 1870 D. m. there was a
luncheon in the Congress street dining
room at the Auditorium, given by the
executive committee. Patriotic decora-
lions and beautiful floral display
gave the room striking appearance
Among those present. besides the presi
dent, were Secretary Shaw, Secretary

ARRIVAL AT 1.-THE CREAM CITY
President Puts on an Overcoat and Is Kept
Pretty Busy.

When the train bearing the presi-
dent arrived here it was p. a., and
as far as he could see in any direc-
ton it was people; people who were
enthusiastically cheering from the
time his train showed itself until b
had disappeared en- route to the first
thing on the programme. The presi-
lent WIS received by committee head
ed by Mayor Rose, and the first drive
took the party TO the National Soldiers
Home, the cortege being escorted by
troop A, W. y. G. 1t was a ten-mile
drive to the home. Just before the
president left his train here he donned
great fur overcoat, and it was we'll
dOnned, because the ride was a chilly
one.
Not that the president got frost"
The streets through which he passed
were lined with people and their re-
ception was most hearty and vocifer-
Gus. At the soldiers home the presi-
dent reviewed the vets and afterward
addressed them. This number off the
programme the court was steered for
the exposition building, where the city
welcome was delivered by Mayor
Rose before 10000 people who filled
the building to its capacity. Here also
band played patriotic airs and
chorus of 600 singers gave musical
numbers. The presidents speech was
brief. He spoke on the subject of
ancestry. Many people of many ma
tionalities We're present. he said. but
they came here as Americans, and as
nothing else.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies
at the exposition building the presi-
dental party was driven to the
Deutscher club. where he was rendered
reception. Light refreshments were
served and an enjoyable hour spent
In responding to toast prepared by
President Kletzch. of the club, the
president said he would endeavor dur
ing his administration to preserve
peace at home and abroad. HE was
then driven TO the Milwaukee Press
club, where pleasant half hour was
spent During the presidents stay
here he inscribed his autograph in
chalk on one Of the panels of the
wainscOting where are inscribed the
names of many other notable men. On
this occasion. too, the president was
presented with a beautiful certificate
of honorary membership in the Mil
waukee Press club.
This ended this part OF the pro-
gramme and the president was driven
to the Plankinton House. where he
rested until the hour for the banquet.

UNITED STATES POLICY DEFINED

Chicago, April 3.-At the meeting
at the Auditorium hotel last night
President Roosevelt delivered one OF
the most significant addresses CT his

men:

merely about the Monroe doctrine. but
about our entire position in the West.

and predominant that out of it has
grown the acceptance Of the Monroe
foreign policy; and In particular wish
to point out what has been done cur.

to make good our position In .cc0rd-
ance with this historic policy.
Ever since the time when we def.
nitely extended our boundaries west.

gulf, cur nation has insisted that be
cause OF it's primacy in strength among
the nations Of the Western hemisphere
1t has certain duties and responsible
tiles which oblige it to take a leading
part thereon. We hold that our in.
terests in this hemisphere are greater
than those Of any European power can
be. and that our duty to our
selves and the weaker republics who
are our neighb0rs requires us to see
that none of the great military powers
from across the seas shall encroac h
upon the territory of the American re.
publics or acquire control thereover
The Crest Isshmian Canal.
This policy. therefore, not only for.
bids us to acquiesce in such territorial
acquisition, but also causes US to OBJ.

which would in effect he equal. to

why the United States has steadily be.
heved that the construction Of the
great isthmian canal should be done
by no foreign nation, but by our.
selves. The canal must of necessity
go through the territory of one Of our
smaller sister republics. We have
been srup1lously careful to abstain
from perpetrating any wrong upon any
Of these republics in this matter. We
do not wish to interfere with their
rights In the least; but, while care.
fully safeguarding them, to build the
canal ourselves under provisions which
