WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.

New life has been Injected
into the Democratic cam
paign by the recent a bleI
speech OF Senator Culberson
made IN New York and which
prominent Democrats believe
may prove the beginning OF
a move which will make thou
sands Of votes for Parker and
Davis. MIR. CulbersOn, ad-
dressing a large and enthusi'
astic audience. rade public a
letter addressed BY the Pres
idsnt to DR.. Albert Shaw. in
which be declared (under date
OF Oct, 10, 1903,) that he
would be delighted" we're
P a n a m a an independent
State, would be delighted 1t
she would at that moment
make herself one, and adds
that only because to do so
would be to instigate a re-
volt does be refrain from 30
expressing himself publicly
Mr.. Culberson also read a let
from Secretary Hay inform
ing the Colombian Charged
Affaires, on January 81 1908
that the Reasonable time"
allowed the President for the
completion Of the canal nego
tiations had expired, and a.
long with it an extract from
the Presidents message oi
Jan. 4, 1904, saying that the
question of a reasonable time
had not entered into the ca
nal negotiations.
1t is hoped by Democrats
here that Senator Cumbersome
Launching of the Panama is
sue may result in arous'ne
M Il c b enthusiasm between
now and election day. The
Senator yehemently condemn
ed the action Of the admins
tration in recognizing the Rt
public of Panama and. in ne
gotiating with the new Re-
public a treaty for the con-
struction OF the canal, decla1
ling that they. were illegal
wrongful and discreditablt
acts. 1t is believed that tn
Panama issue will prove more
popular than thc Philippines
issue to which such impetu'
WAS given by Judge Parker
in bis last speech at EsOpus
although attacks on the, ad
ministration's conduct o
Philippine affairs will not b'
abandoned. In the opinion
of a few Democrats the Phil

They urge that condemnation
of the treaty with Panama
must reflect on the sixteel
out of thirty three Democra

ratification of the Panam'
treaty. Those who oppos
this view, however, maintain
that those Democrats WIN

mus but as this is q hardship
to the men so exiled and as
the climate is trying, it is the
purpose OF the tion
to relieve those on duty there
at comparatively frequent in
tervals. The expense OF such
change ia, Of course, consider
able, but economy is not one
of the virtues of the present
adminlstration.
The President hae apprOv>
ed the formal invitation to
be extended to all those pow
els which participated in the
previous peace conference AT
The Hague, ,tO reassemble
there as soon as possible to
consider the subjsect deferred
at the last sessi On, for subse
quent action. Some new sub
jects will doubtless be intro
duced and iJ is possible that
some effective work will be ac
complished. Critics OF the ad
tninistratiOn are watching
with interest to see what sort
OF a reception these invita-
tions, extended at a time
when two OF the nations invi
ted are at war, will be accord
ed. There is keen suspicion
in some quarters that the
Presidents desire no longer
to delay this invitation is
prompted by political mO>
tives and with a view to dis
slpating the charge that he
is ionder of the big stick"
than Of peace, and those who
hold this view look to ace
the U. s. snubbed. for its
pains. Certain officials OF the
admins tration a ssure the
newspapermen that they've

a cordial reception for the 10

C0NFEDERATE'S
SON GETS Job
OVER PROTEST
Mr.. Roosevelt Will
Also Visit Richmond.

Washington. Dec. 26.-The Pres
ident to-day accepted su invitation
to visit Richmond, Va, and appoint
ed j E. B. Stewart, OF Portsmouth,
Va, son of Gen. "Jeb," Stuart, the
famous Confederate cavalry leader,
United States marshal for the east
ern district Of Virginia.
This means that the president will
make two trips through the South
next summer one by way Of Louis
vile to San Antonio Tex, to attend
the reunion OF the Rough Riders, and
the other by way OF Richmond to his
mothers old home In Roosevelt Ga.
On the second trip number oiother
southern cities, invititations from
which practically had been declined,
will be visited. No date has been
set for the trip to Roosevelt butit will
probably be made early in the sum
mer.
The invitation was extended by
Mayor McCarty OF Richmond and q
delegation OF city officials and prom.
inent citizens. They we're warmly
received at the White House. The
appointment OF Mr. Stuart was a
surprise. Morgan Treat who has
held the Office for several years and
was a candidate for rsappointment,
was asked to resign two days ago.
Mr.. Stuart's appointment was sent
to the Senate before Mr.. Treats res
ignation was received.
A few days ago President Roose.
velt promised to appoint a grand
son Of "Stonewall" jackson to West
Point. Southerners are now led to
believe that he entends to honor the
memories OF famous men OF the Con-
iederacy in every way that hecan
The President is accused OF breaking
faith with the Republican orgsnisa
ion in Virginia by appointing Stuart.
It is alleged that he promised to per-
NIT the Republican members Of the
Virginia legislature to choose a man.
It is said that he was guided solely
IN the manner by ex Congressman
John s. Wise Of Virginia, now living
in New York, who is cordially disliked
by leaders Of both partiesin Virginia
Virginia Republicans here say that
Stuart has, up to within less than
q year, been q Democrat and il
unknown by q majority Of the leaders.
