Remarks of Secretary Hay.

Any charge that this government or
any responsible member of it, held inter-
course, whether official or unofficial with
agents of the revolution in Colombia is
utterly without justification.
Equally so is the insinuation that any
action of this government prior to the
revolution In Panama was the result of
completely with the plans of the revolu-
tionists. The department sees fit to make
these denials and it makes them finally"
This is complete refutation of the
charge that this government had any com
plicity in the revolutionary movement. The
American people will accept emphatic de-
NAL of the secretary of state without
question or doubt"
Mr.. Fairbanks made the following sum-
mary Of conclusions as established by
the recent case of Panama:
The revolution of the people of Panama
was due to a long series of wrongs in
ficted upon them by the government at
Bogota, and more particularly to the re-
lection of the Hay-Herran treaty.
The revolution was initiated by the peo-
Pile of Panama and was not inspired by
the United States.
1t was the duty of the President TO
adopt such measures as he deemed neces-
sary to preserve the freedom of transit
across the isthmus and to protect the
lives and property of American citizens
and citizens of other countries upon the
line of transit.
Accomplished by Isthmians.
The independence of Panama was ac-
complished by the people of the isthmus.
There was no vessel or armed force of the
United States at the city of Panama, and
only one vessel third rate. at Colon; only
forty-two marines were landed at Colon.
They were landed to protect the lives of
American citizens who were in serious and
imminent peril, and were returned to the
ship after accomplishing their purpose
The President recognized the fact that
Panama had secured her independence
through three days of the revolution
Recognizing the new independence Of
Panama, the President acted only within
the constitutional rights and in harmony
wftih established precedent. The duty of
recognition rested upon him, and having
exercised 1t, his act became binding upon
the United States
When the republic of Panama conclud-
ed her treaty with the United States she
was in the exercise of sovereign power.
She was discharging fully her domestic
and international functions and had full
capacity to enter into valid convention
with the United States.
Under the treaty of 1876 the United
States obtained rights and incurred obli-

Washington, February 2.-Mr. Clarke,
the new democratic senator from Arkansas
made his first speech in the senate to-
day He spoke for two hours and an
nouneed his endorsement of every position
taken by the President in connection with
the Panama revolt, and in the negotiations
of the treaty with the new state He even
stated that in view of the provocation
given by Colombia. the President might
have been expected to go further than
he did In advancing the cause OF PAN
anna. He declared that there was more
popular support of the course of the
Presidents policy among democrats than
among republicans, and said that the DEM
ocratic votes necessary to ratify the treaty
were assured.
Mir. Fairbanks also spoke in support of
the treaty, contending for regularity of all
the proceedings of the Americans on the
isthmus of Panama
AT its opening the eenate witnessed the
unusual spectacle of religious service
conducted by a Protestant minister and a
Jewish Rabbi. The daily prayer was de-
livered by Rabbi David Phillipson. a pro-
-N'''ot - 'hc iitbit0 hplltSt dl H.
who was accompanied to the dais usually
occupied by the president pro tenn by
Chaplain Hale. DR.. Hale was clad in the
usual clergical robes worn by him and
he opened the service with a brief scrip
tural quotation which was followed by
Rds<ie Phillipson's prayer.
Spoke of Promised Land.
The Rabbie spoke of this country as the
promised land the new Canaan, the ex-
emplar of justice. the protector of weak.
the foe of unrighteousness. the sanctuary
of liberty, the haven of peace
The service was concluded with the
Lords prayer by DR.. Hale.
The business proceedings of the day were
begun by adopting a resolution introduced
by Mr.. Hoar permitting the committee APP
pointed to investigate the charge against
Senator Dietrich to employ a clerk to
send for witnesses and to take other steps
necessary to carry out the order of the
senate. The Bacon resolution. looking for
the arbitration of the claims of Colombia
against the United State on account of
the Panam revolt. was laid before the
senate and Mr.. Fairbanks was recognize
ed to speak.
Mr.. Fairbanks remarks were devoted
largely to a discussion of a question
whether the United States was in COM
plieitey with Panama In the revolt of last
November. He spoke of the importance
of showing this chage to be without foun-
dalton, saying:

A SACRED TRUST.

The responsibility resting upon
the officers and managers Of Life In
surance Company is not different from
that which Is assumed by the trustees
of individual estates. 1t has always
been the aim Of the Mutual Beneht
Life Insurance Company Of Newark,
N. j., to conduct its business In &C
cordance with this conception OF the
sacred character Of the work and the
solemn responsibility imposed thereby.
It best manifests its fidelity in keeping
steadily before 1t as the true object
i've, the maintenance of the highest Sc
curity, so that policy maturing th1r-
ty or forty years hence will be as Ger
tain Of payment as one falling due
tomorrow; and to endeavor by all
proper means to tighten the burden OF
insurance, by making the cost as
small as is consistent with security.
Evidence Of the skilful and faithful
management Of the Mutual Benefit Is
found in its exceedingly low expense
rate, and remarkably favorable NOR
tality rate extending over the whole
period of its existence-nearly sixty
years.
It is all right to listen to the other
fellows stories and examine their con.
tracts: but you will be doing yourseif
an injustice If you sign an application
or accept and pay for their policies
before you know about the MUTUAL
Benefit and what 1t can and Will
GUARANTEE you.

THE STUPID SrEwARD.-Mr. and
Mrs. Pembroke Jones recently cruis-
ed along the Atlantic coast on the
Norada with a party Of guests.
At a dinner one evening the subject
Of stupidity-of objectionable lunatic
errors and mistakes-arose, and Mrs.
Pembroke Jones said:
Lord Dufferin used to narrate with
a good deal Of amusement the error
that an Irish steward Of his once
made.
"He was about to set out for India,
and a few days before his departure
he remembered an old historic ruin
on his estate near Belfast that stood
in too exposed a place.
"Summoning his steward, he took
him to the field on which the ruin
stood, and around this field he drew a
tiny furrow with his stick.
Here, steward he said, I want
you to build a wall here, following the
lines that I have made-a stone wall
five feet high
"On his return, a year or two later,
he thought Of his old ruin and set
out to visit it. When he reached the
place he rubbed his eyes. There was
the accustomed field; there was the
new stone WALL but the ruin-where
was it?
1T was quite gone.
"Ha turned eYcjtadly to the Stew
ard.
"Look here, where's the ruin, man?'
he said.

steward. That ould thing? Sure. 1

glad to get it.

 Hon. Hery D. Clayton, Congressman from the Third Alabama District, and a member of the National Democratic Executive Committee from Alabama, spent yesterday in the city and went on to his home in Eufaula in the af- ternoon.
 MT. Clayton has just returned from New and York Washington, where he has been in conference with members of the committee and party leaders from all parts of the country and he speaks most encouragingly of the pros- poets of the Democrats for success this year. and thinks that the chances for electing Parker and Davis are ex- cellent.
 He says the business interests of the country Is not satisfied with the un- certain and unstableness of Roosevelt. and with, such a sound and business platform and such an excellent tick ct. the feeling is that the Democrats ton also thinks hat the House will be over the outlook. Indiana, he thinks, Is reasonably certain and other wes- tern States are going to give the Re. publicans some surprise.
 Judge Parker's slendid personality Is making itself be felt and the inde- pendent vote is fast lining up for the Democratic candidate. The doubting will be immensely buoyed by a conver- sation with the Alabama Congress. man.

The company of the provisional regi- ment of the Alabama National Guard, commanded by Capt. D. F. Baber, Jr., of the Montgomery True Blues, which will attend the maneuvers at Manassas held a lengthy practice drill yesterday afternoon near Cypress Pond.
 Capt. Baber instructed his men in extended order and outpost and ad- vance guard duty. The drill was thor ough and spirited and the company showed to advantage.
 Forty men will be taken from the Montgomery military organizations, about twenty five of these being from the Blues. Sixteen Of more men from from Co. "B.," Birmingham will com. pfete the company.
 Capt. Baber Is we'll pleased with the outlook and expects his company to be one of the most effective of the militia organizations at the naneuvers. Each man is expected to provide himself with a blue shirt and . blanket. They viii each be furnished . canseen. hav- ersack. shelter tent. poncho. uniform. arms, etc.
 The men will not be allowed to carry any hand baggage. So any extra cloth- ing will have to be carried in the haversacks and blanket rolls.
 Col B. H. Graves of the 2nd Ala bama. who will be Lieutenant Colonel of the provisional regiment, will reach Montgomery today, to look into ar- arrangements for the mobilization of the regiment. An effort is being made to have the Birmingham soldiers who will join the Montgomery company leave with the company here on Sat- urday.

SHOT WHILE RESISTING. Negro Tramp Wounded by PatreIman
 RWheptn


 Roberts. in the neshy part of the left leg at an early hour yesterday morning by Mounted Patrolman O. c. Roberts when he resisted arrest and made m attempt to escape from the hands of the officer by attacking him.
 The man was brought to police Headquarters from Holts brickyard ir North Montgomery where he had been arrested, and medical attention was given to his wound which was found to be painful but not serious.
 Patrolmen Roberts and Smith found Freeman asleep in the brick yard and arrested him as a vagrant. The ne- gro had his shoes on and after putting them on said he was ready to talk to the officers. One of them said there was no use of talking and caught hold of the negro. who suddenly turned and threw him off from him.
 The negro was a powerful man and made lively scrap for the blue e-coats before he was quieted by a bullet in the leg. As he threw a piece of coal at Roberts's head. the officer fired and the negro ceased his resistance of ar rest.
 Freeman said he was from several different cities and the police think that he Is probably wanted some. where. He will answer to the charge of vagrancy and resisting an officer at the session of the Recorders Court this afternoon.

 The question of German sausages Is now in the hands of the Attorney Gen. eraI, This product may be excluded from this country altogether. Under the German law no sausages or mixed meats are allowed entrance whatever. Under our law no products can be ad- mftted from a country which that country excludes.
 Tt is practically impossible to in- Rpect such food products. When meat is all cut up and specially prepared. how Is one to know what it Is made of without examining every piece. For instance. we have found great quanti- ties of that delicacy. pate de foie gras, which consisted of veal, and other ten- der meats prepared with spices and other ingredients to make it taste like the real product, Real pate de foie Rras is made from goose liver.
 'Hereafter we shall require afi im- portations of specially prepared foods of this sort a certificate of inspection from the health officials at the point at which they were made. It is surely fair to enforce on foreign manufacture CTS the same rules that we enforce on those in our own country"
 pr. Wiley said that he supposei his action would cause some excitement. He added, however, that he had tried for one year being lenient with foreign importers and found that 1t did not work satisfactorily.
