AN ELABORATE DEFENSE.
President Roosevelt Transmits q
lengthy Message to Congress He
Earding His Actions in Panama.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The president
sent to the senate the nomination of
William II. Taft, Of Ohio, to be secre-
tary Of war.
The president also nominated Luke
z. Wright, Of Tennessee, to be civil
governor OF the Philippine islands and
Henry C. Ide, Of Vermont, to be vice
civil governor of the Philippine islands
President Roosevelt on Monday
transmitted a lengthy message to con-
eress relative to the situation on the
isthmus Of Panama. He reviews at
length the action of Colombia, its re-
lection of the canal treaty and the sub
sequent revolution and final setting up
OF an independent republic The mes
sage contains these significant para
graphs:
81 pass by the question as to what
assurance we have that they (the peo-
pie of Panama) would now keep their
pledge and not again refuse to ratify
the treaty, if they had the power: for,
of course, 1 will not for one moment
discuss the possibility of the United
States committing an act of such base
ness as to abandon the new republic
of Panama
Meanwhile. the only question now
before us is that Of the ratification OF
the treaty. For it is to be remembered
that a failure to ratify the treaty will
not undo what has been done, will not
restore Panama to Colombia, and will
not alter our obligation to keep the
transit open across the isthmus, and to
prevent any outside power from mena-
cling this transit. In conclusion let me
repeat that the question actually before
this government is not that of the
recognition of Panama as an independ-
ent republic. That is already an ac-
complished fact The question, and
the only question, is whether or not
we shall build an isthmian canal

| Colorado, saying that the acceptance
of the proposition would do much to
render Colorado safely Democratic He
was replied to by Mr.. Mcmahon, of
Ohio, who said that while the adop-
ton of this plank might do much to Sc
cure the labor vote, it would also prob
ably have the effect of depriving the
party of the support of the employers
Of labor.
Pleads for White Supremacy
The labor question was then tenn
poratily laid aside in order to listen to
plea from Senator Tillman for
strong plank in support of the princi-
pie of white supremacy in the South.
He denounced the plank on this sub
ject in the platform submitted by Mr..
Williams, and said:
If we are to have declaration at
all, let us have one that means some
thing, and not weakened, namby-
pamby, fiimsy thing like that in the So
called Williams platform"
The committee then entered upon
series of hearings of outsiders, includ-
ing representatives of the Anti-Im-

1ams had started to speak. Conse-
quently not a note of music was heard
in the hall until short time before
the convention adjourned for the day.
Wishes for Other Lungs
With the exception of the. finder ig-
nited by the mention of Cleveland's
name the speech of the temporary
chairman was received with few inter-
ruptions. Some passages were ap-
plauded, but that was all. The fault
was not with the speech, but princf-
pally with the acoustic conditions in
the hall. Mr. Williams had not been
speaking more than five minutes be-
fore it was apparent that many per-
sons would be unable to hear him.
Crowding Of the platform made condi-
tons worse The police had difficulty
in maintaining passageways in the
main body of the hall.
Cries of "Louderi" were responded
to by Mr.. Williams with earnest eff
forts to make himself heard. Finally
he answered the loud shouting by say
ing: II wish had your lungs to make
myself heard
The applause which greeted Me.
Williams at the conclusion Of his
speech attested his popularity with
delegates Though they had heard
only small part of what he had said
the cheering by delegates and specta-
tors amounted to an ovation When
that had ceased the band was sfSnaIed
to play. This time the word reached
the leader. The Star Spangled Ban
ner'' was played. followed by Dixie"
Both. selections were cheered until the
music was nearly drowned.
AS the preliminary business of nam
ing working committees was completed
the delegates started to leave the hall.
Announcement of the meeting places
of the committees on resolutions, Gre
dentials, permanent organization and
others was made and at Q: so the con-
vention adjourned until 10 a. m. tomor-
row.

When Leaders Enter
The arrival Of dignitaries attracted
comparatively little attention. David
b. HILL chairman of the New York
delegation, and other boomers Of Judge
Parker, Tammany Leader Murphy, Mr..
Bryan, Democratic members of the
senate and many others prominent in
national affairs and conspicuous be-
fore the country, took their places in
the hall practically unnoticed In some
instances there was local applause In
the vicinity of the seats of some prom
met figures, but that was ALL
Mr.. Bryan entered the hall first with
out any recognition from the galleries
He retraced his steps some minutes
later and held reception in the center
aisle. Friends gathered around him to
shake hands and then his presence
was noted. The cheering. however.
Many persons Of distinction were
given places on the platform. Among
the distinguished visitors were Mrs.
Charles Mercer Hale, daughter Of
Judge Parker; Mrs. Daniel Manning;
Circuit Attorney Folk, of st. Louis;
District Attorney Jerome, of New
York; former Senator Reagan, the only
surviving member of Jefferson Davis
cabinet; Senators Bacon, of Georgia,
and Bailey, of Texas; former Gov. D.
r. Francis, Of Missouri, president OF
the Louisiana Purchase exposition, and
ex-Gov. McMillin, of Tennessee.
No Chance for Manipulation
Little political scheming was in
progress on the floor of the conven-
ton hail. The anti-Parker delegates
were SO much in the minority that
there appeared to be no basis for clev-
er manipulation. The action of Ohio

sylvania's declaration for the New
York Jurist, and the band wagon ten
denotes displayed by other delegations
Which had been counted in the Parker
ranks, had a telling effect upon the
opposition. Though opponents pro-
fessed not to be disheartened by stories
OF Parker gains, and continued to claim
more than one-third of the delegates
had pledged themselves never to favor
Parker, few persons could be found

Who were backing the field against the

collars and ties were loosened and the
picture was that of shirt-sIeeve con-

sure to bring converts, and tomorrow 1t

the conventionaiities in the interest Of
comfort by doffing their coats. The
day was oppressively warm outside
and IN the hall was uncomfortable TO

ed and the roof ventilators had been
sacrificed in beautifying the interior
of the hail.
