STRONG BRITISH EXPEDITION

Karachi, British India. Nov. 1.-THE

The expedition commanded by Colo

Chumbi valley. the key to Thibet, and
to advance on Gyangese. an important
center $50 miles from Lhassa.
!, The object Of the mission is to dis
cuss with the Thibetan authorities the
non-observahce Of treaties and conse-
Quent injury to the trade of India and

The Governors Attitude.

Governor Peabody and Attorney Gen.
eral Miller have for several days been
in consultation over the policy that
should be adopted In regard to the ope-
ration Of mines, whether coal of metal
liferous. in districts where strikes are
in progress, and they have agreed upon
course, says the Republican, which
will be adhered to throughout all the
pending labor troubles.
1t hassbeen said in reference to the
Telluride district. for instance. that suf-
flcient men could not be obtained to op-
crate more than one or two mines. even
If adequate protection should be as
sured for the miners working In such
mines. Following this it has been as
serted that the operation of a compar-
atively small mine would not justify
the employment Of the means that
might be necessary to insure protec-
tion, and that hence the state should
do nothing unless q large number OF
miners should show q willingness to
return to work.
The Republican. editorially. goes on
to say I'VE are authorized to say that
they (the governor and attorney gen.
eraD have determined that wherever
there is a mine which the operators
desire to work and sufllcient number
Of men-whether great or small-to op-
crate 1t are ready and willing to 60 to
work. all the protection needed will be
supplied.
THE state cannot stop to consider
whether the number of persons asking
protection in the enjoyment and exer-
else Of their rights 10 great or small.
The right to pursue his legitimate occu-
patton belongs to every citizen. and the
state Is bound to and will protect him
in the free enjoyment OF this right
against all opposition"

and then himself returned to report to
the viceroy. The result Is that the
former has been granted a considerable
force to support the British demands
The Lhassa government declares 1t is
determined to fight. 1t is distributing
large quantities of rifles and Is telling
the people to prepare for war. The
soldiers throughout the country have
been warned to be in readiness.
1t is reported in India that the Thib-
etans expect Russian support against
the invasion. A Russian emissary who
formerly was in the Chinese customs
service. has been in Thibet for some
time and has acquired great influence
over the lamas and priests. who claim
to have discovered by divination that
the present year Is propitious for war.
The government of Nepal. a native
state in the frontier Of Thibet, has
warned the people OF Thibet against
the Russians and has given notice that
Nepal will not assist the Thibetans
against the British.

PRES. ROOSEVELT
PRAISES LINCOLN

Washington. Nov. 1.-THE crowning
event in the centennial anniversary of
the historic New York Avenue Presby-
terian Church In this city occurred last
night. when public meeting was held
which was attended by many well
known officials. They included PresI-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Hay.
both of whom made addresses. Presi-
dent Roosevelt said In part:
I'VE can divide and must sxy;Ss on
party lines as regards the vital ques-
tions. We cannot AFFORD to divide. and I
have the right to challenge the best ef-
fort Of every American worthy OF the
name to putting down by every means
in his power. corruption in private life.
and above all. corruption In public life.
and remember you, the people Of this
government by the people, that while
the publ, servant. the legislature. the
executive ofiicer. the Judge. are not to
be excused II they fall short Of their
duty, yet that their doing their duty
cannot avail unless you do yours. In
the last resort we have to depend upon
the jury drawn from the people to con-
vict the scoundrel who has tainted our
public life. and unless that jury does its
duty, unless 1t is backed by the public
oChtAAACht "a shS oSOPASs thO WI n
OF legislators. Of executive officers, Of
judicial officers, are for naught.
1T would be trite to say anything
about Lincoln. and yet I am going to
point to one thing; in reading his
works and speeches. his addresses. one
is struck by the fact that as he went
here and there, all personal bitterness
seemed to die out Of him. In the Lin
coln-Douglas debates one can still
catch. now and then. q note Of person.
al antagonism; the man was on the
arena, and as the blows were given and
taken you could see now and then that
he had q feeling against his aptagon-
list. When he became President and
faced the crisis that he had to face from
that time on. do not think that you
can nnd any expression. speech Of
Lincoln. q word Of Lincoln. written or
spoken. in which bitterness IL shown to
any man. His devotion to the cause
was SO great that he neither could nor
would have feeling against any indi-
vidual."

EVENTS IN WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS
Panama Recognition Approved.

At the Cabinet meeting Nov. 10th
the Panama situation was the sdle
topic Of discussion. The whole situa,
tion in respect to the revolution out
Of which has grown the Republic OF
Panama was considered thoroughly.
Approval of the course of the Preei-

was given by members Of the C&b.
met.
No further statements concerning
the organization of the new republic
or the relations between Panama and
the United States regarding the con.
struction Of the Isthmian canal will
be made at this time. The situation,
so far as American interests ON the
isthmus are concerned, Is regarded to
be In excellent shape.
1t is not regarded as likely that sny
additional naval force will be ordefed
to the isthmrs. Certainly no land
forces will be ordered to Panama, I'm
less the situation should take a seribus
turn

the Panama situation was held at the

meeting Of the Cabinet. The partici.
pants in the conference were Presi-

members of the Cabinet

an Isthniian canal built, and they want
it built by the Panama route. They
have accepted the Panama route, and
they propose to stand by the President
in the matter of constructing the canal
by that route"
Rear Admiral Glass, commanlin
the Pacific Station, arrived at Pan anna
this morning with the cruiser Mafble-
head and the gunboat Concord.
By virtue of his rank, Admiral Glass
will have supreme command over the
naval forces in the vicinity of Panama.
There is no expectation here pf a
hostile clash on the isthmus, for It is
believed that the Colombian govern

happened, will accept the inevitable,
and not attempt to send troops tp at
