AN iMPRoMPTu RECEPTION.

At the conclusion there was renewed
and continued applause, and while the
greater part of the audience was leaving
the, hall the president was holding an i'm
prornptu reception on the platform, as all
the members of the committee that had
been seated with him and many from the
audience pressed round to offer their con-
gratulations. Scant time was allowed for
this, however, and the secret service men
closed about him and quickly escorted him
back to his apartments.
Immediately preceding his address Presi-
dent Roosevelt was entertained at dinner
Ein the banquet hall of the Auditorium by
the members Of the local entertainment
committee. About $50 guests were pres
ent. Colonel f. O. Lowden presided. and
announced at the outset that the dinner
was to be entirely informal. and that there
would be no speeches.
The president, after leaving the Audi
torium, went at once to his rooms, where
he partook of a light lunch. His carriage
was called and at 1925 o'clock, accom-
panied by a number of the local committee.
he was taken to the station of the Chicago
& NORTHWESTERN. where his train was in
waiting. He entered at once and retired

occupation, very likely, does not yield him
much cash in this poor country. Next
ne is said to act as agent for Canadian
companies of different descriptions. The
Canadian government, it is claimed is

catching hired girls, whom he is willing

when they-reach their destination. So far

BLACKMAILING SCHEME
How a. Firm Of Lawyers W orked
Get PEOPLE.

Washington, April 3.-Investigation is
now being made into the conduct of af-
fairs in the office Of the assistant attor-
ney general for the postoffice department,
which it is thought will result in dam
aging disclosures The inquiry has gone
far enough to show the extensive system
of blacknail conducted by a prominent
firm of lawyers in Washington, trading on
an alleged intimacy with the officers of
the assistant attorney generals office.
The, disclosures will, it is thought, COM
pletely exonerate the officials Of the as
sistant attorney generals office.
The matter was brought to light
through the investigation under way to
determine whether certain race tipping
and turf investment concerns shall be de-
prived of the use of the mails, or whether,
if their business is honestly conducted,
there is any law that can be. invoked
against them. Several of these concerns
produced copies Of a matchmaking letter
addressed to them.
AS most of the concerns were doing a
big business, the retainer and contingent
fees asked were usually very large The

gresham. It has been learned that in

provided moreover, for the necessary adj

navy department has seen to it that our
ships have been constantly exercised at

units, both individually and when acting
together, has been steadily improved. Re-

To lay up a battle ship and only send

not merely a folly but a crime, for it
would invite both disaster and disgrace.
| The navy which so quickly decided in our
favor the war in 1898 had been built and
made efficient during the preceding ff
! teen years. The ships that triumphed off
Manila. and Santiago had been built under
previous administratio ions with money APP
propriated by previous congresses. The
! officers and the men did their duty so well
because they had already been trained to

to honor the public men, the shipwrights
and steel workers, the owners Of the ship
yards and srmor plants, to whose united

! 1898 we had craft so good, guns so ex-
| cellent, and American seamen of so high
a type in the coming towers, in the gun
turrets, and in the engine rooms.
The Guarantee OF Peace.

war has come; and if we only prepare
sufficiently no war will ever come We
wish a powerful and efficient navy, not for
purposes of war, but as the surest guar

it's effect be equal to- territorial aggran-.

has steadily believed that the construction
.of the great Isthmian canal, the building
of which is to stand as the greatest mate
rial feat of the twentieth century-greater
than any similar feat in any preceding
century-should be done by mo; foreign
nation but by ourselves - The canal must
of necessity go through the territory Of
zone of our smallest sister republics. We
/ have been scrupuleusy careful to abstain

! OF, these republics in this matter. We do
not wish to Interfere with their rights in

ing them, to build :the canal ourselves I'M
der provisions which will enable us, if nee
essary, to police and protect it, and to
guarantee its neutrality. we being the sole
guarantor. Our intention was steadfast;
we desired action taken SO that the canal
could always be. used by us in time Of
peace and WAR alike, and in time of war
could never be used to our detriment by
any nation which was hostile to us. Such
action by the circumstances surrounding
It, was necessarily for the benefit and rot
the detriment of@the adjacent American
| republics. . - ALL
After considerably more than half of
century these objects have been exactly
fulfilled by the legislation and treaties of
the last two years. Two years: ago we
were no further advanced toward the
! construction Of the isthmian canal on
I our terms than We had been during the
preceding eighty, years. BY: the: Hay
Pauncefote treaty, ratified in December,
/ 1901, an old treaty with Great Britain,
which had been held to stand in" the
way, was abrogated and it was* agreed
! that the canal should be :. constructed
| under the auspices of the government
of the United States, and that this GOT
| eminent should have the exclusive right
to regulate and manage it, becoming the
sole guarantor of its neutrality.
It was expressly stipulated, further
more, that this guaranty of neutrality
should not prevent the United States from
taking airy measures which it found
necessarE in order to secure by it's own
forces The defense of the United States
ara the maintenance of public order.
Immediately following this treaty con-
| gress passed a law under which the presi-
dent. was authorized to endeavor to secure
a treaty for acquiring the right to finish
I the construction of, and TO operate. the
Panama canal which had already been
begun in the territory of Colombia by a
French company. The rights ofrthis com
pany were accordingly obtained and a
treaty negotiated with the republic ..ol
Colombia. This treaty has Just been ,rati-
fed by the senate. 1t reserves all OF
Colombia S, rights, while guaranteeing all
| of our own and those of neutral nations
and specifically permits us to take any
! and all measures for: the defense Of the
canal, and for the preservation of oul
!. interests, whenever in our judgment ar
eXigency may arise which calls for actor
