resolution instructing the committee
on judiciary 10 inquire into the cues
tion OF the right Of the department Of
Panama to establish an independent
government
Mr. Culberson asked for present
consideration of the resolution. but
Mr. Culom suggested that ii should
go 10 the committee on foreign rela-
tions. To this Mr. Cnlberson object
ed. saying that the necessity for the
determination OF the point as TO the
character of Panama as an independ-
ent nation prior 10 the consideration
of the treaty with that power for the
construction Of the proposed canal
was important.
Mr.. Aldrich asked that the resolu-
tion lie over for a day. 10 which Mr..

ROOT WILL TAKE NO ACTION.
MacArthur's Denial of Honolulu inter.
view Sufficient.

Washington. Dec. 12-The state
ments attributed 10 General MacAr-
thur in dispatches from Honolulu in
war in the immediate future between
the United States and Germany have
come TO the notice Of Secretary Root.
In an interview with the Associated
Press representative the secretary
said the only information he had on
the subject was what he had seen in
the papers. He did not regard II as
case calling for action by him. inas-
much as the dispatch quoted General
Macarthur as saying that the state
ments in Colonel Jones report 10 Gov
ernor Carter did not correctly repre-
sent his views in any particular and
utterly misrepresented them in some.
Secretary Root made the assertion
that remarks of this character deliy-
cred in private conversation would
not necessarily shield an officer from
the requirement Of an explanation.
but be says that General Macarthur s
denial carries with IL the weight Of
an explanation. He therefore would
take no action in the matter.
At the meeting Of the cabinet later
in the day it is said the matter was
discussed. as result of which II
seems likely that Secretary Root will
modify his view and. in the interest
OF fairness TO General Macarthur. call
upon him for an explanation upon his
arrival in the United States the latter
part of this month

PENAL INSTITUTIONS OF THE STATE

The University of Utah has made
greater progress the last two years than
during any other biennial period in its
history. The board of regents reports
that the attendance is much greater and
that q better feeling for the university
and a greater confidence IN II are mani
tested by the people generally; also thas
there is greater recognition extended to its
graduates by other universities and by the
public and business men than heretofore;
that among the, factors that have con-
trIDuted TO this advancement nave been
the school of mines, increased facilities
with which to do the work Offered, and
better acquaintance with the university
made by the people through extension
work and public lectures by members of
the faculty The school of mines building,
appropriation for which was made AT
your last session, has been constructed
and is now occupied. The physical science

BY an error in the appropriation bill
passed at the last session the appropria-
ton for general maintenance of the
school for the deaf and dumb and the
blind was made to read for the years
1901 and 1902 instead of for the school
years beginning July J. 1901, and ending
June so. 1893 II follows therefore that
while the appropriation for the first six
months of 1901 was duplicated. no funds
for the ensuing six months are provided.
A brief act, making the unexpeCded por-
ton of the appropriation, namely, 3d.

the haf-year ending June so, 1903, should
be passed at once.

buildings have been kept in good repair

General Wilson Testifies.
By the Associated Press.)

Washington. Dec. 8.-When the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs convened
today to continue its investigation of
charges against General Wood, after testi-
monv by M. c.. Fosnes, postoffice in
snector and Major Edgar S. Dudley U.
s. A. who served in Cuba as Judge Ad
vocate under the administration OF Gen
eral Wood as Governor General, General
James H. Wilson, u. S. A, retired tod
the committee of his meeting with Cap
tain f. G. Bellairs at havana, saying
that he became convinced that Bellalrs
came to Havana with the purpose OF will
fully falsifying conditions in the island;
that Belairs called on him at his head
quarters in the province of Matanzas and
that he General WILSON, then accused
Bellairs of writing dispatches which gave
a wrong color to affairs in the island and
injured the work of General Brooke and
others. The witness said that Bellalrs
sighed and admitted that ne was standlng
by his friends, declaring that ms position
was a necessary one. General wilson SAID
the remark could have but one meaning,
and that was that he was backing Gen
eral Wood. that this was evident from the
nature of Rellairs' dispatches The wit
ness asserted it to be his belief that Bel.
lairs went to Havana for the purpose OF
promoting the advancement of General
Wood.
When asked concerning the rapid strides
made by General Wood in jumping over
himself General WILSON, and Genera
Ludlow and Lee, the witness showed a
feeling of bitterness against General
| Wood.
The effect of the responses was that ne
considered the promotion was one brought
about by preferment rather than war
ranted by merit.
