CALLS AT WHITE HOUSE
National Committee Shake
Hands With the President.

Washington, Dec. 11.-This afternoon
the national Republican committee pro
ceeded to the White House. After
waiting a few minutes in the green
parlor the president entered and was
heartily greeted by the committed
Chairman Hanna said as he took Mr.
Roosevelt's hand:
Mr.. President, I have the honor to
present en- masse the members of the
Republican national committee. In my
experience with this body of men
found them all true, loyal Republicans,
ready to support the principles of the
Republican party at all times
President Roosevelt replied: mr.
Chairman and Gentlemen-It is pecu-
liar pleasure to me to greet here the
men to whom not only the party but the
country has owed so much in the inn
mediate past and the men to whom
both party and country will owe so
much in the near future
This sentiment was aoDlauded
You had better pass around the
room, Mr.. President. and shake hands
with each.' remarked Senator Hanna
All right" responded the president
"I was just wondering which was the
best way to get at Them
You wiz have no trouble in getting
at the fellows" responded Senator Han
ma. They are all anxious to see you
AS the laugh subsidized the president
remarked, bowling to Senator Hanna

which a photograph Of the committee was

VIOLATED LAW.
Charge Made Against Roosevelt
by Congressman Dinsmore.

Washington, Dec 1.-THE house on
convening today resolved itself into
committee of the whole for the consid-
GRAFTON Of the pension appropriation bill,
with Mr.. Lawrence (Afass.) in the char.
Mr.. yanVorhees explained that the
provisions of the bill were practically
identical with those of last year s
measure.
Mr.. Dinsmore (Dem. Ark.), who was
recognized for one hour, took occasion
to speak of the republic of Panama. He
said the republic had been established
and that it exists by the power of the
United States and that without that
power it could not exist. Nothing had,
he said, been gained that could not have
been gained in a straightforward and
honorable way. He explained that he
did not use the word honorable" in an
offensive sense but insisted that but for
the action of the United States there
would be no republic of Panama Mr..
Linsmore referring to the provisions OF
the Panama canal bill said:
Here is the law. Did the president
obey it? Everybody knows that he
made no pretense of obeying the law.
Has any excuse been offered why he
did not obey it. He has not even
vouchsafed to congress whose law he
has violated, the slightest excuse. Is he
if this is true we have come upon evil
times when the executive power of the
government can usurp power and cast
aside the express wish of congress, de-
clared in law
Mr.. Dinsnore criticized the hasty
recognition of the republic of Panama
and said a canal could have been built
under the canal act without overturn-
ing any precedent. In conclusion he
said a blunder had been committed
which he hoped would never be repeat
ed.
Mr. Hit (Rep., Ill.), chairman of the
committee on foreign affairs, replying
to Mr.. Dinsmore said he was astonish-
ed at the remarks of the gentleman
from Arkansas saying Sucn an attack
on the government would not be made
by any foreigner in discussing its &C
ton.

INVESTIGATE STRIKE.
Patterson Offers a Resolution
for That Purpose.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Senator Pat
terson introduced a resolution directing
the committee on the Judiciary to inVes-
tigate the strike among the netalifereus
miners of Cripple Greek and Telluride.
The preamble closes in the following
language:
Whereas, by reason of the doings and
attitude of the governor of said state
the courts Of the state have been rem
dered powerless to relieve its citizens of
the wrongs and outrages committed
against them by the military authorities
of the state and to protect the citizens
thereof in all or any of their constitu-
tional rights. and,
Whereas, The legislature of the
state cannot convene until January,
1905, unless the governor may call IL in
extraordinary session, which he has re-
peatedly said he would not do and by
reason of the inability of the courts
of the state to enforce their writS for
the relief of citizens from military
outrage and misrules and because
the legislature can not convene
for more than a year from the present
date to adopt proper remedial 1egfsla-
ton, and the government OF the state
is wholly by reason of the arbitrary
and unconstitutional action of the gov
ernor of the state at his mercy and
under his control: and
Whereas. The constitution OF the
form of government,
Resolved That the judiciary COM
n1ittee be and hereby is directed to
make investigation of all matters con-
neeted with existing labor strikes in
the state of Colorado. as to the man
ner in which the same have been con-
Quoted and as to the conduct of the
governor in the use of the military in
the counties in which said strikes ex-
list. as to whether or not there is 'at
present a republican form of govern
menr in the said state and
several counties thereof, and what
if any legislation may be proper
and necessary to maintain in said state
a Republican form of government; and
to this end, said committee may ap-
point a subcommittee to visit Colorado
for the taking of testimony with such
powers as TO commanding the attend
ance of witnesses, and the employment
of clerks and stenographers as shall by
the senate be conferred

SLONECKER is NAMED.
Appointed to Take Testimony in
Railroad Case.

J. G. Slonecker has been appointed
by the supreme court as referee in
the mandamus action brought by At
torney General Coleman against the
Kansas City Northwestern railroad
company to compel it to maintain an
agent at Ontario, Nenaha county. The
referee is to take testimony in the case
and present his findings to the court.
From this it is presumed that the
railroad company does not intend to
bring UP the question Of the general
powers of the railroad board to make
orders, but that it will defend itself
on the ground that Ontario does not
have enough shipping to warrant the
employment of an agent there. This
would be a question of fact on which
testimony could be introduced, while
the other would be a question of law
for the court to pass on, and on which
testimony would have no bearing.

coo 900 from the Holland stockholders IN
addition to the amount previously sub
scribed by the capitalists of that coun-
try. Mr. Stilwell exhibited a list OF for
eign stockholders secured on this trip
and said:
1.-THE list includes some of the best
known financiers in England, France,
Italy and Germany, to say nothing OF
the Holland stockholders already in the
enterprise.
1.-THE completion of the Orient sys-
tenn is now fully assured and we expect
