Appeal to President.

The facts were presented TO the Presi-
dent and the request for a pardon was
indorsed by Justice Fimball, President
Macfarland. of the District Commits
sioners, and Major Sylvester. The Pres
ident thereupon granted full pardon.
Nolan will remain on the force ard the
suspension order has been revoked.
II was admitted from the first that
the conviction Of Nolan for petit larceny
did not legally bar him from a place
on the police force. but for obvious rea-
sons the District Commissioners and
Major Sylvester felt they could not al
low him to serve unless his record was
fully cleared.

Virginia Shipbuilder Ex-
poets Early Legislation
by Congress.
TO STIMULATE IMPORTS
Senator Frye, Author of the
Bill, Expresses Usual OPP
timiStic View.

Unless there is unforeseen opposition,
II is more than probable the present
Congress viii enact some legislation for
the protection and development OF
American vessels trading with the Phil
ippines. 1t was said today by an off,
Ger OF the Newport News ShipbufldIng
Company, who is in the city for the pur-
pose of comforting with Secretary
Moody regarding the construction of the
warship recently awarded that concern
that Senators Frye. Lodge. Hanna, and
other powerful leaders intend to push
the bill recently introduced by the
Maine Senator providing for such pro-
lection.
This bill is radical in its provisions
and infiicts as a penalty the forfeit
ure of any cargo brought to the United
States from the archipelago except in
American vessels. The act, II passed,
is to go into effect July l. 1904, and
complaint is made that there are not
vetSels enough in the American mer-
chant marine at the present time to
take charge of the shipments at such
short notice.
To Meet Opposition.
Because of this IL was said consider
able opposition to the measure is de-
vel0oing among the importers of hemp
a. New York. San Francisco, and other
large ports. This opposition. however
is based entirely upon the lack OF time
for the development OF the shipping
necessary 70 handle the trade. Should
the time limit be extended, exporters
and importers. as we'll as builders and
owners Of ships. would support the
measure.
1T is recognized" said the shipbuild-
er. that some such protection is need
ed. and 1 do not believe there can be
any opposition to the bill unless some
one desires to make political capital out
of II at the expense Of the merchant
marine Of the country.
Low Wages Question.
Such law is necessary, as il is other
wise impossible for the owners OF ships
10 compete with the low wages paid
seamen of other countries The tar in
the American merchant marine receives
an American wor6man's wages-never
less than $50 a month. He is we'll fed,
the laws compelling this. He is also
well housed Consequently this $50 is
equal TO S15 or SIS week ashore On
the other hand the foreign sailor re-
ceives only from $40 TO 81 a month and
is fed on the cheapest food the captain
Aetn Dug. lt same - lFle III Alt cost
OF building American ships. Hence il
is easy to see the difference In cost Of
operating American and foreign ships.
Should anyone want an object lesson
on the subject Lot him read the statis-
tics issued by the Government. Since
the war the protected coastwise trade
OF tho United States has grown several
hundred per cent. while the unprotected
foreign trade in American bottoms has
decreased % per cent. Consequently we
believe the United States should apply
the coastwise proposition TO the Philip
pines as well as TO Porto Rico and
Hawaii
When asked about his bill Senator
Frye expressed the belief that It would
pass. and added # was high tine some
action should be taken to protect the
American foreign trade.

Bobbed Up Again.

The docket continued to show the
conviction and fine. and it was not long
until the matter bobbed up again in
way decidedly embarrassing to Nolan.

was appointed TO the police force Then
It was discovered he had been fined
In the Police Court sfor the alleged
theft Of the milk
Nolan was suspended. pending an in
vestigation. The District Commissioners
and Major Sylvester insisted on the rec
ord being cleared before Nolan could
have place on the force. The only
way out OF the difficulty was to obtain
pardon.

PRESIDENT CONFERS
WITH SECRETARY HAY

A prolonged and important conference
on the Panama situation was held YES
terday between President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hay at the latters home. the
President stopping there on his way
home from church.
1t was the first opportunity the Presi-
dent has had to discuss with the Secre-
tary OF state the protest and brief filed
last week by General Reyes, the special
envoy from Colombia. Mr. Hay has
been conhsed to his house for nearly
three weeks with an attack OF bron-
chitis.
Within that time Mr. Hay has dis
carded all other official duties save thoss
connected with the Colon mbia-Panama
affair. He has thus been enabled 10

the events leading up to the Panama
revolution, but of the diplomatic prece-
dents in similar instances.
At Yesterdays conference. Il is under

that country consistent with the dignity

1t will probably be some time before a
formal answer is sent to General REYES.
and the answer will likely be of such a
character as TO call FOR further ex-
changes, thus tending to prOlong the
stay of the Colombian envoy in the
United States. 1t is hoped that through
the lapse of time necessary to arrive at
a complete understanding. some Of the
bitterness on the part of Colombia
toward this country may be assuaged
and the jingo spirit at BOgota may DO

The fact that NJ. Bunau-Varilla. the
Panama minister. has already agreed
that Colombia shall have a portion OF
