CRITICAL AT B0G0TA.
Feeling Against MarrOquin Said to
De Intense.

Panama, Nov. 13.-The Associated
Press correspondent to-day commune
Gated to Jose Augustine Arrange, pres
ident of the junta, the first news of
President Rooseve1t's reception of NJ.
Philippe Bunau-Varilla, as minister of
the republic of Panama. Senior Arrange
expressed great qualification, saying
that this act of President Roosevelt
made possible the negotiation of a ca
nal treaty, and that such negotia ton
would prOba bly, be completed before the
Panamanians held a convention to
elect a Legislature and adopted con-
stitution.
1t is rumored that the situation at
Bosota is extremely critical, and that
there is a continuance of the manifes-
tauons of furious despair over the loss
of the isthmus. The feeling against
President Marroquin is growing in
Intensity, and one rumor has it that
he has been deposed.
The pOpulace of Bogota is talking of
sending a big expedition to recaDture
the isthmus at any cost, in their ex-
citability losing sight of the futilitZ- of
such an attempt.
1t Is believed here that Rear Admiral
Glass cOmmander-in-chief of the
United States Pacific squadron, will
soon can officially on the junta, and
that his squadron will salute the flag

FAVORABLE REPORT ON
CUBAN TREATY BILL.
Amendments offered Rejected by
the Republicans.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The House
Committee on Ways and Means to-
day authorized a favorable report on
the bill making effective the Cuban
reciprocity treaty, by a vote of IA to
2. Mr.. MetcaIf, Republican of Cali
fornia, was present, but did not vote,
and Messrs. Robertson, Democrat, of
Louisiana, and Cooper Democrat, of
Texas, voted against the bill
Two amendments We're offered in
committee, but both were rejected by
the Republican votes. one, offered by
Mr.. Cooper, extended the provisions
of the treaty to all other countries.
The other offered by Mr.. Williams,
the minority leader, abolished the diff
ferential duty on refined sugar.
The report says:
THE enactment of this bill into law
is necessary to give effect to the con-
vention providing for reciprocal trade
between this country and Cuba. This
results not merely because the con-
Vention itself provides that it shall
not take effect until the same shall
have been approved by the Congress,
but because the constitution gives no
power to the President and the Senate
to make a convention or treaty chang
ing the rates of revenue. The power
is expressly lodged in the Congress.
This legislation will result in no
harm to any American industry. Ar
ticles the product of this country, like
the articles embraced in this con-
Vention, now imported from Cuba, re-
ceive the very highest production of
any in the same schedule. The duty
on sugar was placed above the pro-
tective point for the purpose of reve-
nue.. The House tariff bill provided
expressly for "a reduction in the in
terest of reciprocal trade agreement,
which it authorized the President to
make. The duty on tobacco has for
years been much higher than any
necessity required on account of the
competition of Cuban tobacco. The re-
duction in this bill leaves it amply
protected"

Minister Bnuua-Varilla said, in part:
H. according to the minister pleni-

the honor of presenting to you his let
Iers OF credence, you admit into the
FAMILY of nations the weakest and the
last born of the republics of the new
world.
IT owes its existence to the outburst
OF the indignant grief which stirred
the hearts of the citizens of the 18TH
mus ON beholding the despotic action
which sought to forbid their country
from fulfilling the destinies vouchsafed
10 IL by Providence. In cOnSecrating
lts right TO existence, Mr.. President,
you put an end to what appeared to
be the interminable controversy as to
the rival waterways and you definitely
lnauSurate the era of the achievement
OF the Panama canal
In response, President Roosevelt said,
in part:
I'm accordance with its long estab-
lished rule this government has taken
cognizance of the act of the ancient
territory of Panama in reasserting the
right of self-cOntrol and seeing in the
recent events on the isthmus an I'M
opposed expression of the will of the
people of Panama and the confirma-
ton of their declared independence by
the institution of de facto govern
ment, republican in form and spirit,
and alike able and resolved to dis
charge the obligations pertaining to
sovereignty, we have entered into re-
lations with the new republic.
i feel that l express the wish Of my
countrymen in assuring you, and
through you the people of the republic
OF Panama, our earnest hope and de-
sire that stability and prosperity shall
attend the new state, and that in har-
mony with the United States, it may
be the proVidential instrument of UNI
told benefit to the civilized world
through the opening of a highway of
universal commerce across its excep-
tionally favored territory"

DICK Is DAZZLING IN

He Introduces a Suffrage Resolution
in the House.


Washington, Nov. S.-Representative
Dick of Ohio introduced a suffrage res
olutiOn to-day, which, after reciting
the law regarding suffrage, says:
Whereas, it is a matter of common
information and belief that the right
of some male citizens, being q years
of age, to vote at elections named in
said amendment to the constitution
named aforesaid, except for participa-
ton in rebellion or other crime, is de-
MED and abridged in certain states;
therefore.
Resolved, That the matter be re-
ferred to the Committee on Election of
the President, Vice President and rep
resentatives in Congress, whose duty it
shall be, and who shall have full and
ample power to investigate and inquire
into the validity of the election laws
of the several states and the manner
of their enforcement, and whether the
right to vote at any election for the
choice of electors for President and
Vice President of the United States,
representatives in Congress or the
members of the Legislature of any
state is denied to any male inhabitants
of any of the states, being q years
of age, and a citizen of the United
States, except for participation in re-
bellion or other crime"

ON FISCAL QUESTION
Addresses Were Delivered by Brit
iSh Statesmen.

Bristol, England, Nov 13.-Pre-
mier Balfour was the prin-
cipal speaker at dinner here
tonight in celebration Of the
anniversary Of the birth of Ed
ward Colston, the philanthropist. He
devoted himself principally to the ifs
cal question, but did not advance any
new arguments.
Sir M lchael Hicks Beach followed the
Premier. The appearance of the for
mer chancellor of the exchequer on
the same platform in support of Mr..
Balfour, although he had declared
himself free trader, created consid-
cradle interest and curiosity. Sir Mi
chael explained his attitude by ac-
cepting as the true diagnosis Mr.. Bal
four's belief that the present govern
ment has still two or three years of
life, during which much useful work
is possible, and declaring that great
injury had been done to British trade
by the protection policies of foreign
countries. He was prepared, he said,
to accept the policy of Mr.. Balfour,
laid down in the Premier's speech at
Sheffield. Sir Michael thought the gov
eminent ought to be armed with the
weapons of retaliation. If the choice
was to be between standing on old
lines or a genuine change of fiscal poll
icy he preferred the latter.

ROOSEVELT WAS FOR
DISPLAY OF FORCE
In Building the Canal. If Other
Means Would Not Serve.

Washington, Nov. 13.-For several
weeks President Roosevelt has had in
preparation his annual message to be
presented at the opening of the regular
session of Congress on the first Monday
of December
That part of the message in which
the President discussed the negotia-
tons between the United States and
the government of Colombia for an
isthmian canal treaty, it is stated, was
completed about two weeks ago.
Events which have occurred on the
isthmus and in this country since that
time have made it necessary for the
President completely to rewrte that
part of the message touching the canal
negotiation. In his discussion of the
canal question the President wrote:
High authorities on international
law hold that the canal can be dug as
an incident to exercising the power to
prevent the obstruction of traffic across
the isthmus. Nevertheless, in accord
ance with our settled policy of behav
ing with scrupulous fairness and gen.
erosity towards our weaker sister re-
publics of the South, taking no posi-
ton that can even, by implication, be
treated as unfriendly, unless literally
forced thereto, we have endeavored to
provide for the building of the canal
by treaty.
"This nation does not desire to be
unreasonable or impatient; but it can
not, and will not permit any body of
men permanently to obstruct one of
the great world highways of traffic;
and refusal to permit the building of
the canal amounts to such obstruc-
ton. OF course, to insist upon unrea-
sonable terms is equivalent to re-
fusal.
ut seems evident that we should
finally decide which Is the best route,
and if the advantages of this route
over any other route are sufficiently
marked we should then give notice
that we can no longer submit to trif-
ling or insincere dealing on the part of
those whom the accident of position
has placed in temporary control of the
ground through which the route must
pass: that if they will come to an
agreement with us in straight forward
fashion we shall in return act not only
with justice. but with generosity; and
that if they fail to come to such agree
ment with us, we must forthwith take
the matter into our own hands"
