WANT TO KNOW THE REASON WHY
Panama Canal People Tired of Delay In
Arranging Terms of Treaty

Washington, D. c., January 3.-Tht
Panama Canal people have become thor
oughly frightened over the prompt pros
pect of the Senate calling on the State De-
partment for the reason for the long delay
in perfecting a title and arranging treaty
fol- the transfer of the property to the
United States. The friends of Nicaragua
at the last moment, in order to have q
canal, did not obstruct the passage of the
Spooner bill for the Panama route. They
put faith, however, in the Panama prop
osition. The delay has been so long that
there is a movement in the Senate to de
maed the reasons for the delay. Secretary
HAY, it is said, communicated this state Of
affairs to Columbia, and the result was ev.
ident to-day.
Mr.. Nelson Cromwell, attorney for the
Panama Company, and Mr.. Heron, the
Columbian charge de'afaires, called early
at the State Department. Mr.. Cromwell,
after the conference, gave out an optomis
tic view of the situation.
Mr.. Cromwell stated that in the opinion
of the canal company officials the negoti-
atoms are in a very satisfactory state and
that the treaty would soon be ready for
signature According to this authority,
all questions Of principles have been elm
mated from the discussion, such as sover
eighty over the canal strip, legal jurisdic
ton and the term of the lease. 1t is
claimed that all that requires to be ar
ranged is the amount of the annual collec
tons made by the Columbian Government
under present conditions on account Of
Isthmian traffic.

ROOSEVELT'S CONFIDENCE
In Cuban Reciprocity Has Not Been
Shaken In the Least.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Cullom,
chairman of the committee on foreign re-
ations, had an extended conference with
the President today concerning the
Cuban reciprocity treaty which is pending
before bis committee. He hopes that it
may be reported from the committee to
the Senate during the latter part of this
week or the first of next, and as soon as
possible afterward, he will move for its
consideration by the Senate. Senator Cul-
lum believes that, while some opposition
to the treaty has developed, it will be rati
fed
President Roosevelt's confidence in the
success of the treaty has not been shaken
in the least by the rumors Of opposition
in fact, during the past few days, he has
received assurance from some of those
Senators who, last spring, opposed the
the Cuban legislation, that they would
support the treaty. 1t is understood, also
that many of the beet sugar men have
withdrawn their opposition to TIE rati6ca-
ton of the treaty.

Of suth a law would mean no end O. strikes and disturbances between nine owners and employees, and that in ruth the miners would not be ben efitted by such law. The represent atives of the underground miners met all these arguments, showing they had made careful study of al these questions meeting argument with aT- gument, and facts with facts. and i' conclusion calling on the democratic majority in the legislature to fu.fi; their anti-election promises. The pas sage of the eight-hour law, by a strict party vote, strengthens the dem ocratic cause in Arizona. For this the labor organizations, and the laboring men contended, whether they were af- iliated with the miners union or not. The laboring men of this territory elected the democratic legislature with the knowledge and belief thai the eight-hour bill would become a law. Their trust has not been betrayed, nei- ther has the confidence thus imposed been violated.
 Democrats will have TO excuses to offer or explanations to make during the next campaign. This unpleasant duty will devolve upon the other side of the house.

PLEDGE IS FULFILLED

The Twenty-second legislature has fulfilled the most important pledge of the platform adopted by the demo- cratic party in convention assembled last September. That platform de- clared as follows:
 Recognizing the dignity of labor, We demand and pledge the democracy of Arizona and its representatives in the legislative assembly. to the enact ment of a law prescribing eight hours as lawful day of labor"
 While the platform did not say so in specific language. it is known by all who are familiar with that convention that the above plank was adopted for the protection of the underground miners in this territory. The men who came to Tucson. insisting on the adoption of that plank in the platform were there representing underground miners. Their arguments in support of the adoption of that particular sec ton was the hazardous and arduous occupation of the underground miner
 The democratic party of Arizona has fulfilled its pledges to these men. It has remained true to the principles and teachings of the founders of the party, and by the action of the demo- cratic members of the Twenty-second legislature. the faith and confidence Of the rank and file has been renewed and strengthened. The odium of broken platform promises still re- mains in the camp Of the republicans and is particularly noticeable at this time in the attitude of the republican party towards Arizona, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
 The passage of the eight-hour law was not accomplished without strong opposition. Prominent mine owners, still adhering to the ten-hour system, brought all the pressure they could command to bear on the legislators. Representations were made that such a law would increase the opeTaJ- ing expenses of one company alone in the neighborhood of s100, 900 annually l. was further stated that the passage

 A bullion tax law has been intro duced in the legislature but it's provis- ions are so unfair and unjust to the mining companies that it would seem that it has been brought forward for the sole purpose of being defeated Douglas International.
 The people of Bisbee have been in a state of unrest ever since the town was incorporated. The feeling of dis satisfaction on the part of some of the citizens has finally crystalized in a movement for disincorporatioD, and petitions are being circulated for sig nature asking the board of supervis- ors to disincorporate the town.
