house, which provides for a com
mitee to examine into the suffrage
conditions of the various states. His
purpose is to decrease the represent

to keep the question alive.
Il am very much gratified to
receive the letters whereby you are
accredited to the government Of the
United States in the capacity Of
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary Of the republic OF
Panama, said President Roosevelt
to M Buna- -varilla as this represent.
ative of the infant republic Of Pan
anna was presented to him in the
White House by Secretary Hay. In
the words of the new minister, the
president thus admitted "into the
family of nations the weakest and
last. born of the republic Of the new
world. Panama is now a sovereign
state in the eyes of our government,
and it will not be long before we
take up negotiation with it, for the
construction of the canal. Columb-
ian troops are said to be hurrying to
the Isthmus to punish the TRAITORS, .
but our government will not per-
NIT them to land at either Panama
or Colon. and may inform the Co.
lumbar government that any hostil-
tiles even in the remotest vicinity
of the Panama Railroad will not be
permitted by this government This
would make the suppression of the
revolution very difficult. if not alb
solutely impossible. In fact friends
of the new republic can be now Ger
tam that its national existence is
guaranteed by this country.
Much comment has been aroused
by the publication Of that part of
presidents regular message to con-
gress which related t. the canal
negotiations. 1t was written before
the revolution in Panama and has
now been cut out of the message.
The president says, High authori-
ties on international law hold that
the canal can be dug As an incident
to exercising the power to prevent
the obstruction of traffic across the
isthmus. After stating that in his
Judgment it is time to declare that
the building of the canal cannot be
much longer delayed he continues,
1T seems evident that in matter
such as this we should finally decide
which is the best route, and if the
advantage of this route over any
other possible route is sufficiently
marked, we should then give notice
that we can no longer submit to
trihiug or insincere dealing on the
part Of those whom the accident of
possession has placed in temporary
control of the ground through which
the route must pass" He ends by
declaring that if the possessors Of
the territory fail to come to a
straightforward agreement with us,
I'VE must forthwith take the matter
into our own hands

AT 3 P. N. SHARP
That Is the Time Fixed for the
Thanksgiving Football Game.
Play Will Thus Be Over Before
Dark.
LOOK FOR HARD TASK.
WashbHrn Knows that It Has q
Difficult Proposition.
Depend Upon Their Fleetness to
Win the Game.

According to the affirmations- and
of the management, the
popular demand that the Thanksgiv-
ing football game be started earlier
in the afternoon than customary on
Washburn field, will be granted. The
game is set for 8 o'clock sharp. 1t is
to be hoped that the game will begin
promptly at that hour.
So far this season the Washburn
games have been set for $3.50 and have
started about 4 O'Clock. This has
brought darkness down on the field
before the game ended. For the
Thanksgiving day game there is no
argument in favor of a late beginning.
and many people want to get away
from the park early in order to attend
evening entertainments.

CITY HAD NO WATER.
Plant Shut Down While Main
Was Being Repaired.

For two hours this morning, the
pumping station of the Topeka Water
company was shut down, and the city
was getting whatever pressure it had
from the Santa Fe railway pumping
station.
The shutdown at the pumping station
was caused by the necessity of cutting
off dead end which had been inserted
in the main leading out of the station.
The dead end was put in at the time the
main was relaid after the flood. the ex-
pectation being that a line would be ex-
tended over to the insane asylum con-
Meeting with the dead end. The asylum
line was not wanted. and the company
could not allow the dead end to stay
there, fill with water and freeze up. 1t
was therefore cut off short and plugged
To make this change it was necessary
to shut off the water from the main.
Quite a long stretch of the main lead
ing to town is still supported by the
piles which were driven under it, and
is not covered with earth. The COM
pany says that even though the pipe is
exposed it will not freeze up.

NOT UNTIL CHRISTMAS.
Nissley's Newsboy Celebration
Is Postponed.

J. E. Nissley's celebration for Topeka
newsboys will be postponed from
Tha nksgiving to Christmas this year,
because of the fact that the boys club
rooms which Mr. Nissley is having fix
ed up are not yet ready for occupancy.
On Christmas day the club rooms Will
be formally opened with a Christmas
dinner for Topeka newsboys.
Mr.. Nissley's club for boys is to be
conducted in connection with the social
settlement work at the large building
rented by the social settlement workers
at Fourth and Jackson streets. 1t is
likely that the rooms will be open for
boys within a, week or ten days, but the
formal opening will not take place till
Christmas Mr.. Nissley proposes to
have the rooms open every evening ex-
cept Sundays.
Clyde Hale and Arthur Packard, two
young men who are interested in the
work will have charge of the rooms,
though Mr.. Nissley himself expects to be
in attendance much of the time. At the
club rooms will be books. magazines ana
games. A long workbench, supplied with
carpenter tools, may also be put in place
to encourage the boys to study the ruol-
ments of the carpentry business.
The social settlement work was organ
izer shortly before the flood, but up to
the present time very little has been done
of practical value. The president IF the

A MILLION EACH.
How Rake-Off In Ship Building
Deal Was Divided.

New York, Nov. 24.-Testimony of a
sensational nature was introduced at the
United States ship building hearing.
which was resumed today. During the
course of his redirect examinat ton of
Lewis Nixon, president of the Ship
Building company, Mr.Untermyer, couu-
sci for the compliments, brought out
from Mr.. Nixon the statement that OF
the S5.000,000 additional stock issued
when the company was reorganized TO
take in the Bethlehem company $1,000
600 went to Max Pam, Mr.. Schwab's
counsel, and 81, 100000 each to Mr.. Nixon,
Mr.. Dresser. and the Trust Company of
the Republic, leaving 100000 the dis
position of which he did not know. He
did not know whether or not Mr..
Schwab obtained it.
1t was also brought out that at the
time the Sheldon reorganization plan
was under consideration Mr.. Schwab
offered to purchase 100000 of bonds,
with the accompanying bonus of 25,o00
shares common and $4,000 shares pre-
ferred stock. issued to Mr.. Nixon, for
100000 while the market value was
less than this, Mr.. Untermyer making
the direct charge that this was in the
nature of a bribe to induce Mr.. Nixon
to agree to the Sheldon plan of reor-
ganization instead of the plan for an
assessment of stock, which he had pre-
ViOuSly advocated.
The offer was shown in two letters of
Mr.. Schwab to Joseph Hoadley, dated
May 26, 1903, copies of which were in
troduced in evidence. Mr.. Hoadley. it
was testified, had conducted the nego-
tiations with Mr.. Schwab when Mr..
Nixon was endeavoring to persuade
Schwab to accede to the assessment
plan and held after the proposal urged
Nixon to accede to the Sheldon plan.
Nixon said that at Hoadley's request he
had done SO.
It think the testimony today shows
clearly that there has been no settle
ment'' said Mr.. Untermyer during the
recess. At the conclusion of the ses-
ton a letter he had recently received
from Me. Hoadley in answer to Nixon s
request for copies of the correspon-
dence between Schwab and Hoadley.
