SOMEBODY FROM PANAMA"

Senator Charges the President with Bad
Faith-"Grim Piece of Irony"
Morgan said that he had only con-
scented to the enactment of the Spoorer
bill because of his confidence in the
good faith of the president in enforc-
ing the law, and now that the presi-
dent had not seen tit to keep that faith
it remained to be seen whether the
senate would support him i'll that posi-
ton. The president, he said, had COM
pleted his campaign against the Spoon
er act by having Hay sign a treaty
with somebody from Panama" who
had no authority except that conveyed
in cablegram from a junta at Pan
anna
He read the correspondence bearing
upon the revolution to show as he said,
that the president had known of the
uprising in the isthmus before it be-
gan. and had stood ready with armed
ships to protect those engaged in it."
The pretense in Assistant Secretary
Looms' dispatch that it was our de-
sire to maintain peace Morgan declared
was the grimmest piece of irony that
had ever graced diplomatic annals.
Morgan expressed the hope that Hay
had been asleep when some of the
messages of his subordinates had been
flying over the wire. LAS for the
president" he said, he never sleeps
on his post of duty or desire, al
though he sometimes closes his eyes
to what is going on about him."
He contended that Colombia had had
a perfect right to suppress an uprising
of the isthmians, and declared that
the United States had failed utterly
to observe it's treaty obligations i'll pur-
suing the course it had taken. Indeed,
he said. our course there had been such
that it would bring down the censure
Of future generations upon us, and he
predicted that the immediate result
would be disastrous and cause the loss
of both men and treasure. The conse-
euences would be such, said he, that
the president would have no time for
dreams of diplomatic triumphs.
Hay had not been in his Morgan s.
opinion a free agent in negotiating
either of the canal treaties. Morgan
charged that the president hadresolved
when the Hay-Herran treaty was I'M
der consideration to push the canal
through and if authority did not exist
had made up his mind to create it

FINANCING THE CANAL

Circulation of National
Ranks.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Fairbanks has

ing association having on deposit, as

Of 1 per cent. each half year upon
the average amount of such of its
notes in circulation as are based upon
the deposits of said bonds; and such
taxes shall be in lieu of existing taxes
on it's notes in circulation imposed by

THEY WANT HIM At JOLIET

Have Violated a Parole, OF
Something.

Williams, who processes to be con-
verted burglar, is under arrest here
and is being held at the instance of
the warden of the Joliet, ILL.,, prison.
He has been out under parole granted

tence running from one to twenty years
and has served two. He makes no at
tempt to conceal his identity and the
officials are in the dark as to what
he is wanted for. He was arrested a

SENATOR JOHN t. MORGAN OF ALABAMA.
the affairs of that committee, and de-
clared that he had not and would not
reverse his position on the canal Ques-
ton at the instance of any party eau
Gus. He discussed at some length the
attitude of the president in the mat
ter Of the selection of q route for the
proposed isthmian canal, and in doing
so accused him of using his official
position to advance his personal views.
Calls 1t "Caesarian Operation"
One man in the presidential office
might be able, he said, to crush all
opposition, but it remained to be seen
whether he could crush the statutes
of congress. The revolution in Pana-
ma, he said, was a Caesarian operation
which took Panama alive from the
womb of Colombia. Morgan charged
that the president has made the canal
question party question and added:
dreadful Latitude of Construction
II think that the presidents appeal
to party discipline to force his Opin-
ions on the country and his measures
of aggression Oh foreign countries, in
addition to his power as COMMANDMENTS
chief Of the army and navy which he
uses with a dreadful latitude of con-
struction, is SO strong a proof OF heart
failure i'll the present wild moments
that | am encouraged to hope that
there are still some barriers that we
may rely upon to protect the peace
and save the commerce of the country.
/ regret that party discipline is to be
used as a domestic police force to pro-
tect the transit in Panama, and to
guard the interests of the new canal

International Live Stock Exposition,
Chicago, 1903.

The entire west is interested in
the occasion of the Live Stock ex-
position from the fact that such an
enterprise is in the nature of a
fitting recognition of the import
ance of the work done by the
breeder and feeder of live stock and
gives well deserved encouragement
to their efforts.
The international exposition has
become permanent feature in the
progress of live stock exhibits and
is, in the language Of Prof. Liggett,
Dean of the Minnesota Agricultural
Experiment Station, 1.-THE great
tribunal where the leading herds
and focks are brought for final
Judgment 1t is the annual round
up for breed improvement, where
the interested breeder can mark
the progress and the changes made
IN the public standard of such
breeds. 1t is of more than passing
interest and more Importance than
other shows for the reason that il
is the only place where all promi
nent breeders meet in the show
ring"
The attendance from the west has
in the past been excellent, but the
management anticipate for 1905
an outpour of stock men and others
interested in the improvement OF
western herds such as has never
been equalled in the history OF
the exposition.
The Northwestern line announces
that special low rates will be in
effect November 29th and 30th and
December 1st for this occasion
from all points west, with ample
train service for the accommoda-
ton and convenience of all who

the Chicago City Railway company,

calmly awaiting the fulfillment of a
vision that her right arm would be-
come paralyzed at 8 o'clock. AS she
fingered the instrument she had used
while an officer in the Salvation Army,
she turned to a maid and inquired the
time. 1T is O'clock" replied the
girl.
The words had barely been uttered
before her right arm fell limp by her
side. Such was the testimony given
by Mrs. Norton, now resident of Lit
tie Rock, Ark, in Judge Chetla1n'S
court room Miss Hanson was living
at the time with Mrs. Norton, and
had been the victim, as she asserts, of
an accident on the line of the Chicago

county. From every direction comes
reports of a heavy precipitation.
The rain was accompanied by con-

any nature MS been reported.
The farmers who have been inter
viewed today are very much en-
csuraged over the outlook. In some
sections Of the county corn was
beginning to wilt but the rain last
night will revive it and infuse new
life in the plant. Considering the
lateness of the crop the plant has a
splendid color and is growing nice
ly. The hot days of the past few
days have had wonderful helpful
effect upon its growth.
Nearly all the wheat and oats in
the county have b9en harvested and
a considerable quantity have been
threshed.

We will ask Prof. Sanderson to see
that this is done again this year.
We usually have practical lessons
in butter making and this Is of great
value TO boys and girls. Dairy
machinery saves lot Of trouble.
Our young people know too many
hard ways of churuing and dong

machinery for handling hay will be
seen at the college. These are time
