WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The turkey that
graced the White House table to-day was
magnificent bird. 1t was furnished by Hor-
ace Vose, OF Rhode Island. who for thirty
years past has furnished the White House
turkey for Thanksgiving. Vose has a repu-
tation throughout New England as the tur-
key king. due TO the fact that he makes a
speciality of raising fine gobblers. Early in
Grants administration he picked out a
prize turkey one year and sent it to the
President with his compliments. The gift
was acknowledged in graceful note. which
so pleased the rugged New Highlander that
he sent another the following year and has
since continued the practice. His only re-
ward is polite note of thanks. but vose
has as result attained a national reputa-
ton as a breeder of turkeys. President
Roosevelt followed the time-honored prac-
tice of presenting a turkey to each married
empsoye at the White House. The new
White House china was used for the first
time to-day. In the past IL has been found
necessary 10 employ three or four different
sets OF china service wnen large company
was to be entertained. but now the White
House is fully equipped in this direction.
The new service is made up OF 1900 pieces,
each of which bears the great seal of the
United States

sonal friends. devoting only a few minutes

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Francisco De F.
Manatos arrived here to-day from Sava-
nilla, Colombia. He is member of the
commission; sent by the Governor of the
state of Bolivar to the United States to
obtain information as to real state of affairs
on the Isttmus of Panama. His departure
was delayed at the time his fellow-com-
missioners,. who arrived in Washington
some days aga, left Bolivar. He has no
diplomatic status. In an interview he de-
MED the report that Colombia was now SO
desperate that she would seek annexation
to Panama and move the capital to Pan
anna.
While he was not willing to talk re-
gardng his mission nor to discuss what
steps would be taken by the commission,
he was willing to speak of conditions in
Colombia md the feeling down there when
he sailed eleven days ago.
Colombia does not want to make war
on Panama. he said ''She wishes to make
arrangements looking toward settlement
She wishes to regain Panama, and if not
war is probable. To say whether she will
make war is a very hard question to an
swer. War with the United States is not
to be considered" He did not care to dis
cuss the possibility that an attempt to land
Colombian troops in Panama might mean
q clash with the United States.

Shanghai. and DR.. Bedloe. for a number Of
years American consul at Annoy, but now
newspaper correspondent, have arrived
here from the Orient. Consul Goodnow

heves that the existing troubles will be
satisfactorily settled between the contend
ing nations. He expresses himself as
highly pleased with the new Chinese treaty,
which he declares is of great Importance
to the United States. DR.. Bedloe said the
Japanese are eager for war with Russia
and that the former have no fettr of the
result. He claims that the Japs nese are
stronger as naval force in the East than
Russia and are steadily strengthening their
fleet by converting a number of mail
steamers, recently purchased, into armored
cruisers. The alliance between Great
Britain, Germany and japan, he claims.

ing the ports mentioned is taken by the
government of Bolivar, Independent of the
Colombian government Bolivar can do
all she desires necessary for the defense
of the State, and among the measures
which the legitimate ends of war warrant
is the depfiving of the enemy of resources

Consul General GOOdnow.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 26.-The news
papers here regard the British expedition to
Thibet as an attempt to stir up movement
in China under cover of which the powers
will increase their spheres of influence, and
they appeal to China not to permit the en-
pire to be deprived of Russian Intervention,
which saved it on other occasions.

clared that If the British succeed In carry

hands and they will always be in a position
to threaten Thassa, and if they gain control
Of the Holy Land of Thibet 5OO0OO,OOO of
Buddhists will regard Great Britain as

No specific information has been received
here concerning the reported reoccupation
of Hai-Cheng, thirty miles north of New
Chwang, by Russian troops, but 1t is re-

to the MISUNDERSTANDING Railroad. 1t
is explained that the whole country is occu-
pied by Russian troops for the purpose Of
protecting the railroad workmen and the
Chinese population from the depredations Of
robbers. The officials here are at a loss to
understand why the possible entry of Rus
sian troops into Hai-Cheng has been made
the occasion for alarming reports.

WILL RATIFY IN HASTE.
Panama Junta to Lose No Time in
Acting on Canal Treaty.

Acting on Canal Treaty.
PANAMA, Nov. 26.-The junta, composed
of Joss Agustin Arrange, Tomasarias and
Manuel Espinos, held a meeting at 10
O'Clock this morning, all the ministers of
state and counselors being present and
unanimously decided to ratify the canal
treaty as soon it is received here and
authorized Minister Bunau-Varilla to COM
municate the juntas decision to the United
States government.
The decision of the junta was received
with great joy throughout the isthmus
without distinction of parties or classes
Rear Admirals Walker and Glass have
been informed of the action taken by the
junta.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-Of1cial con-
firmation of the determination of the Pan
anna junta to ratify the Hay-Bunau Varilla
dispatches, was received by Minister Va
rila at half-past o'clock this afternoon.
The State Department being closed to-day,
Mr.. Varilla communicated the news in
formally to MI. Loomis, who is acting sec
rotary in the absence of Mr.. Hay. The
minister's dispatch from the junta follows:
In view of the appreciation pro- alton given by
missoners who were sent by the govern
ment OF Panama to confer with Mr.. Va
rilla), to the Hay-Bunau Varilla treaty,
you are authorized TO notify officially the
government of the United States that as
soon as the document is received by the
junta of the government of the republic of
Panama it will be ratified and signed"
Minister Varilla calls special attention to
the fact that the message received by him
is signed not only by the members of the
junta but also by the minister of foreign
relations. which, he says. gives the COM
munication the character of a formal decree
of the government.
The action taken by the Panama junta
doubtless Is due in part at least, to the
urgent representations of Minister Varilla
that prompt steps be taken With view to
the ratification of the treaty as soon as
ii shall reach Panama. Last Saturday the
minister cabled a long synopsis of the
treaty to Panama, and since that time had
been in communication with the govern
ment on the subject.

Japan Buying American Flour.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Nov. 26-Local
millers report extraordinary increase
in the flour export trade with Japan In
September the trade more than doubled in
size. In the nine months ending Sept. 30,
1901, the exports to Japan were 243,5 bar
rels. In the same period of 1902 they were
307, 736. while in the nine months Of this
year they were 100000 barrels. This tre-
mendous increase Is believed to be signifi-
cant of preparation for war with Russia
by Japan. While the purchases have been
made through the ordinary channels, it is
believed the Mikado's government has in
spired them.
