HANNA AT THE HELM.
Roosevelt Wants Him to Steer the
Republican Campaign.

Washington, Nov. "a conference of
significance and Importance was held
at the executive offices to-day between
President Roosevelt and Senator Han
ma of Ohio.
The President formally requested
Senator Hanna to retain the chairman
ship of the Republican National Com
mittee, and to conduct the campaign
of next year. In the course of the
conference the subject of the presden-
tial campaign was considered briefly,
not only the Craftsmanship of the Ma
tional Committee being involved, but
also Mr.. Hanna's reported aspirations
to the presidency.
The President urged the Senator to
retain the Craftsmanship of the Ma
tional Committee, in order that the
Republican party might in the APP
preaching campaign have the benefit
of his services at the head of the ma
tional organization. Senator Hanna, it
is understood. indicated his desire to
retire from the work of active political
management The President, however,
urged him in strong terms to continue
in the political harness.
No definite conclusion was reached
the understanding being that a fur
Their and more extended conference
would be held in the near future When
Senator Hanna left the White House
he declined to discuss the subject of
the national craftsmanship or to COM
ment on the reports that he might be a
candidate for the presidency. From
other sources it is learned that the
Senator has indicated that he will not
be presidential candidate. and has let
it be understood that he means what

washington, Nov. 9.--M. Philippe
uncomfortable, the envoy Of the new
ronublIc of Panama, to-day sent the
foIIoving letter to Senator John T.
Morgan of Alabama:
oMr Senator: AS a champion of the
COMPLETION of an interoceanic canal
across the American isthmus and as
+he minister plenipotentiary of the new
republic, the life of which has sprung
from an explosion of the ardent de-
sire of turning into reality this dream
of centuries, 1 feel myself bound to
EXPRESS to you my admiration for the
display of indomnitable will you have
shown in the success of this noble con-
ception.
1.-THE fact that we have fought, both
with all the energies of our souls, for
a common ideal is not lessened by the
minor fact of having defended differ
ent solutions.
IF I have not been on the same
side as you, allow me, Mr.. Senator,
10 say that it is simply because 1 en-
tered into the field of active life about
one-third of a century after you.
The solution which was the better
one fifty years ago, when there was
scarcely any ship drawing more than
seventeen feet of water, has gradually
seen its superiority vanish and trans
form itself into a deep inferiority ac-
c0rding to the constant increase of the
draft and of the length of ships.
These gradual and scarcely notice.
able changes in the technical necessi-
ties of the waterway are accountable
fer the difference of opinion between
YOU the champion of the solution of
the middle of the nineteenth century,
and the champions of the solution Of
the beginning of the twentieth.
Accept HOnOrs Already His.
Nov, Mr.. Senator, 1 come to you
and most respectfully entreat you to
take the high place which is due to the
honored veteran of the noblest fight
that ever took place for the progress of
the world and the welfare of mankind.
Il beg you not to throw away the
title which the thankfulness of hui
manity owes to you, that of the father
Of the isthmian canal; I beg you to
take the laurels of victory which are
yours by accepting with a generous
and Christian mind what the changes
in the. necessities OF ocean, traffic have
made dnevitab1e.
You will we'll crown a noble life in
spred by the greatest, the most patri-
otto, the most disinterested aim"
Senator Morgan to-day admitted
that he had received a letter from Mr..
Varilla. and in reference to
the communication said:
Il have not discussed the letter in
public, and the fact that it was writ
ten came from another source. The
letter was signed by Mr.. Vanilla, who
pofessed to be the minister plenipo-
tentiary of the republic of Panama.
The writer made me a flattering pro-
losal to get in line by supporting the
new republic, but when 1 take advice
will come from American citizens,
and not from a Frenchman who is in
terested in the Panama canal"

father and consequently causes concern
to his household. 1t is recalled that
the surgeons at that time made nothing

Her Minister.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Secretary Hay
to-day placed in the hands of the
President the Colombian protest against
the course pursued by the Washington
government on the isthmus and it's at
titude toward the new government Of
Panama.
DR.. Herran's protest was called forth
by letter from Secretary Hay, trans
hitting the instructions forwarded to
Minister Beaupre and Acting Consul
Ehrman.
In his reply DR.. Herran states that
he has not heard from his own gov
eminent at Bogota for the week past,
but he feels sure from his knowledge
OF the sentiments of that government
that he is justified in entering a firm
protest against the action of the United
States in recognizing the revolutionists
in Panama and in preventing the Co.
lomblan forces from asserting the ma
tional authority over the isthmus.
Secretary Hays response is an ac-
acknowledgement of the receipt of the pro-
test, with a promise that it shall be
considered, but it is intimated that
nothing Is likely to be done Just now.
A cable message was received to-day
at the State Department from Minister
Beaupre, dated at Bogota, Nov. 6, in
which the minister stated that a great
change of feeling has come about in
Bogota, and that the advocates of the
canal treaty with the United States
are growing greatly in strength.

President for the purpose of enacting
legislation necessary to make effective
the Cuban reciprocity treaty. The day
was devoted simply to personal greet
ings and organization.
The House elected Joseph G. Cannon
of Illinois speaker.
The House assembled the largest
membership in it's history, and the
scene before the gavel fell in that body
was one of animation, both on the floor,
in the cloak rooms and in the Hobbies
and corridors. The day was crisp and
bright, and the Capitol building pre-
sented the appearance of new struc-
ture with it's coat of white paint and
complete renovation within.
Crowds of eager spectators, both men
and women, thronged the corridors and
rotunda of the Capitol early in the
day, and the galleries, to which ad-
mission was had by card only, were
taxed to their capacity long before the
hour for assembling arrived. Commit
tee rooms, which had been in the hands
of the renovator during the recess,
were thrown open, and many infor-
NAL receptions were held by popular
chairmen. With the speakership
question out of the way in the uni
versal Endorsement of Mr.. Cannon,
there was nothing to worry the legis-
lative mind. and the day was given
up to the sentiment of the occasion.

DID THE UNITED STATES
INSPIRE THE REVOLT?
This Was IA Question Discussed by
the Democrats.

the Democrats.
Washington, Nov. 9.-The Democratic
Steering Committee of the Senate was
in session for two hours to-day, the
greater part of which time was devoted
to the consideration of the situation on
the isthmus.
The question was discussed in all it's
aspects, but especial attention was
given to the allegation that this coun-
try has been instrumental in produce
ing the revolt at Panama and Colon.
A number of the senators present ex-
pressed the opinion that the admins
tration had not been unfriendly to nor
ignorant of the movement from it's be-
ginning, but it was decided to wait
until there is further light upon the
question before advising the Democrats
to take a position on the question as
a party. Some of the members express
ed the opinion that the mass of the
people are so anxious to secure a ca
nal that many would indorse a revolu-
ton on the isthmus If it should prove
a means of securing one.
Senator Morgan was before the COM
mittee for quite a time and advocated
a vigorous policy of criticism.
The Steering Committee also dis
cussed the question of policy to be
pursued with reference to action upon
| the proposed measure putting in force
the Cuban treaty. 1t was decided to
postpone further consideration of this
! question until the House sends over its
bill. 1t was apparent. however that
a majority of the Democratic senators
| would oppose the bill
The Steering Committee also took up
the subject of the reorganization of
