EVENTS IN WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS-
Secretary Roots Letter.

The letter Of Secretary Root Id
Senator Proctor, acting chairman od
the committee on military affairs dat
ed November 18th last, giving resume
Of the military record Of Gen. Leonard
Wood and stating the chief consideraI
tions which led to his nomination az
major general. has been made pub
lie. After quoting from remarks COM
mandatory to General Wood, made by
Generals Miles. Lawton, Graham and,
Forsythe, the letter rcCites that upon
these and similar evidences of fitness
President Mckinley appointed Capt
tain Wood colonel of the First Folun-
teer cavalry in May, lS9S.'
The secretary also quotes from tho
concentrations of Generals Young.
Wheeler, Sumner and Shafter on Gem
cral Woods conduct in the Santiago
compaign, and says General Woods
appointment as commander of the San
tiago province appears to have been
based upon a statement made by Gent
eral Shafter in a dispatch to tho de-
partment in which he said he Thought
General Wood by far the best man to
leave in command of Santiago"
The secretary reviews General
Woods subsequent military career, say
ing in this connection:
The high estimate put by tho
Secretary of War upon General Woods
services as military governor is shown
in the published orders of the War
Department" referring to the general
orders of March %, 1903. and July A.
1902, which have heretofore been pub
lishcd. The secretary adds that the
opinions expressed in those orders also
were the opinions of both presidents
under whom the service was rendered
The Grit-advocate., 1903-12-25
SUSPENSION OF
ENTRIES REVOKED

Washington, Dec 22-The secretary
of the interior has revoked the order
under which final action on entries un-
der the timber and stone act were sus-
pended, and all such entries, aggregat-
ing a large number, will now be acted
upon in the regular order by the gen.
eral land office.
The order involved several hundred
thousand acres of public domain in the
West all entries on which have been
held up because of the big frauds per
petrated on the government under the
timber and stone act. The suspension.
which has been in force many months,
has served a good purpose, and in the
view of the Interior Department has
been the means of preventing many
fraudulent entries. A Yigid scrutiny of
all entries under the act will be con-
tinued, but the revocation of the sus-
pension order will have the effect OF
allowing all valid entries to be pat
ented.
This was the important development
to-day in the land fraud proceedings
and indicates that the government be-
lieves that the backbone of the alleged
ring that has been specializing in and
taking unlawful means of acquiring
lands under this act, has been broken.

STRIKERS MUST
RESPECT THE DEAD

Chicago Dec. 22.-Picketing OF
houses from which funerals are TO
start whether peaceful or violent, by
union livery drivers. who went on
strike five days ago, and which has Sc
riously interfered with the burial of the
dead in Chicago. is to be prevented by
The police under direct orders issued
last night by Chief of Police O'Neil. j..
E. Wadsworth, secretary, and Charles
Stevens, business agent, OF the Livery
mems Union, were summoned before
Chief O'Neil tonight and told in de-
cidedly plain language that any differ
ences the union might have would have
Ito be settled away from the houses OF
mourning.
Chief O'Neil last night issued gen
eral order to all the inspectors OF po-
lice He instructed the commanding Oh
ficers to accompany funerals in car
riages, if circumstances seem to re-
ouire it, to see that the last rites or
the dead were in no way interfered
with.
While the courts have inclined TO
permit peaceful picketins, Chiel
O'Neil's order tends to prohibit picket
ing OF any kind around the houses OIL
mourning. He declared that in MS
opinion no court would be found which
would fail to sustain an act OF such eV-
ident necessity and propriety as that
contemplated by the police department.
The Grit-advocate., 1903-12-25

Washington. Dec. %. - Diplomatic
pressure will be brought to bear upon
Colombia by several European powers
to prevent war between that country
and the United States.
The first step in this direction al
ready has been taken by several for
eign powers through their represent
atives here. who have informed Cen
eral Rafael Reyes of the futility of
any attempt by Colombia to retake
Panama, declaring that it will result
only in precipitating the Bogota gov
ernment into war with the United
States and have said to him that the
result of such catastrophe Colombia
herself must realize.
II this is not sufficient, the repre-
sentatives of these countries at Bogo-
ia will be instructed to inform Presi-
dent Marroquin that Colombia can eX-
pect no sympathy from the European
powers in any movement she may make
on Panama, which would inevitably
involve her in war with the United
States.
The members of the diplomatic corps
have been informed by General Reyes
