Asked to how Washington considered the matter and its probable bearing on the future of President Roosevelt. Sen ator Pettus replied that there had been much talk and an earnest effort on the part of prominent republicans to force Senator Hanna into the race for the re- publican nomination as against MT. Roosevelt. He said that the sentiment In favor of Senator Hanna was rapidly gaining strength.
 The reply to a querry as to what he thought of the Venezuelan situation, Sen ator Pettus said: T am not well enough posted on the subject to discuss 1t. It seems, however, that we could not resist much unless Germany were to undertake to hold some territory, but l will say to you right now that no European power can take any territory in this country.
 Senator Pettus uttered this last sem ten in his characteristic terse style, which showed that his vote would pro- tect, if necessary, his utterance. He will remain in Montgomery until his re- election Wednesday, and he will then go to Selma, where he will spend Thursday and Friday leaving for Washington Sat urday.

 The resolution which MT. Morgan pre- sented follows:
 That the President is requested, If it is not incompatible with the public inter- est to inform the senate as to the al- legged full powers of Senor Herran, who signed the treaty with Colombia that was sent to the senate on the 23rd of Janu- ary, 1903, for ratification, to negotiate and sign the same, and that he send to the senate copy of the powers of said negotiators."
 resolution. contending that the Colombian government is practically in the hands of a dictator. He said that the Columbian congress had not been in session for three or four years. and insisted that this was vital for the reason that, under the con- stit tution of Colombia, no power was vested in any authority except the con gress of the country to enter into con-

Washington, January 26.-Col. Theodore Bingham. superintendent of public build ings and grounds in Washington, in his report to congress, asks for an appropri- ation of $110,264 for the White House for the coming year against s35,000 for the present year. The report says:
 'The recent changes in the White House have resulted in building far more ex- pensive to maintain than formerly. The character of the new fittings and new fur nishings is such that repairs and replac- ing will be more expensive than before. More held will be needed in the laundry, owing to the large family which occupy the White House and the large amount of entertaining done"

Pettus has been the toast of all the legislators and politicians who have been in the capital city today Senator Pettus arrived in Mont tgomery at late hour last night from Washington, but he was out on the streets this morn ing at an early hour as spry as any of the younger men who are spending the winter here.
 Senator Pettus said he felt no fatigue from his journey home, but he was not in position to make a similar statement tonight after he had greeted so many of his admirers with very loyal hand shake.
 He went to the capitol this morning be- fore the converting of the session of the two houses, but he left before the hour set for adjourning. Curiously enough no persons informed Senator Pettus that a democratic caucus was to nominate him for senator immediately after the adjournment of the morning session.

 nominated him committee was sent to notify him, 1t being supposed that he was still in the building. But the senator had gone to his hotel down town and the members of the caucus naturally sup posed that he had left for the reason that he did not care to make a speech to the caucus today and another to the joint session that will elect him on Wednesday.
 That was wrong idea" said the sem ator when informed of the conditions Why no one told me that there was to be a caucus but on the other hand was informed by one of the members that no caucus would be held.
 Senator Pettus seemed to be a bit wor- ried over the matter, but he Is always ready to turn such an occurrence into a dry joke. Continuing he said: "One of the members told me this evening that 1t was thought that I was too good demo- crat to accept any office without first getting an endorsement of the democratic organization. Well, now I just told this fellow that my political morals had not quite been worked up to this point"

Since then the relations of DR.. Herran
and the state department have been
somewhat strained and the criticism
passed upon the departments action by
DR.. Herran has not mended matters.
Secretary Hay has asked DR.. Herran
whether or not the words attributed to
him in the interview are correct. If
Herran admits their authenticity, Sec
rotary Hay intends to call DR.. Herran
somewhat sharply to account.
State Department Responsible.
The state department, while it is re-

with Minister Beaupre over his failure
to report promptly the proceedings at
Bogota, does not for moment falter In
it's support of Beaupre, SO far as his
official communications to Colombia are
concerned. He has acted strictly ac-
cording to instructions, and If there is
to be any blame for the brusque and CO.

department should shoulder it.
The department, however, is begin
ming to see that the treaty is probably
lost Minister Herran said Friday he
had about given up hope.
