he had anything to say on the subject

kicking because he was not re-appoint-
ed United States Attorney for the eastern
district of North Carolina. You know
some people cannot bear to be priced
loose from the government pay roll.
I'm this connection 1 might say that l
received two letters from Mr.. Bernard,
one dated May 14th, which l answered
on May goth, and the other dated July 21,
which l answered on the Both of that
month. l have Mr. Bernards letters in
my office, and copies of my replies there

would IN any way reflect discredit upon
me or the Republican party, and if Mr..
Bernard thinks the letters would be in

authority to publish the same.

complaining about the management of the
Republican party until after he lost his
job as U. S. Attorney. / remember very

replied Mr. Foraker
Then why interposed Mr.. Morgan
'Does the Senator insist upon making
party matter of this in his discus
sicn?"
Turning to Mr.. Bacon, Mr.. Foraker
said:
"And now l want to ask what has been
the origin of this resolution. Has it
been considered by the Democratic caucus
and has it the approval of the caucus?'
Il think" answered Mr.. Bacon, ''that
the Senator has no right to propound-."
Mr.. Foraker interrupted and Mr.. Bacon
asked curtly if he was not to be given
an opportunity to finish his remarks.
Mr.. Foraker said he thought he had
the right to ask the question.
'But he has not the right to ask it in
the domineering and dictatorial tone he
used" answered Mr.. Bacon.
Mr.. Foraker said he was not aware that
he had used a domineering and dictatorial
tone.
Mr.. Bacon continued with the state

originated with himself alone and that
no one had placed eyes upon it prior TO
It's introduction except himself and stenog-
re- pher.
Mr.. Daniel signified his willingness to
accept Mr.. Foraker's challenge to point
out wherein the administration had over
stepped it's authority on the isthmus un-
der the treaty of 1876. He said the policy
of this government had been contrary
to historical precedents of the United
States, that this county has never in
tcrfered with any forces a friendly pow
er defending itself a gainst armed insur-
gents.
Mr. Daniel declared that at the begin
ming of last November we were in perfect
peace with Colombia when We sent armed
troops into that governments territory
to prevent it exercising the highest privi-
leges of sovereignty. The question was
a most important one to him, and nc
could not under any circumstances bring
himself to the support Of an administra-
ton in such a transaction. eff he ex

AWAIT THE WORD
Russia's Fleet Prepared
for Action. Troops on
the Move
(By the Associated Press.)

Port Arthur, Jan. 12.-It is rumored
here that owing to threatening news re-
ceived from Korea the commander of the
Seventh Russian Brigade has gone to the
Yalu River to select temporary camps and
effect a concentrate of troops.
Owing to the apppehensicns OF daring
dash on the part of the japanese at Port
Arthur the authorities here have taken ex-
traordinary precautions in and about the
town ard along the whole line of the Man
chur:an Railroad
Rurlors were circulated some time ago
that the Japanese intended to take ad-
vantage of the festivities incident to the
Russian Christmas and surprise the war
ships here. Consequently, vlgilant
watch was kept night and day.
The whole Russian fleet is now in fight
ing trim.
Pekin, Jan 12-Authentic information
has reached the legation here that two di-
visions of Russian troops are coming by
the Siberian Railroad.
Russian force has occupied the ter
minus Of the new branch of the Shan-Hai-
Kwan- Chwang Railroad, recently complet-
ed ythe Chinese. The terminus is one
hundred miles northwest OF New Chwang
and will be an important strategic basis in
the event of war;
The foreigners at New Chwang, fearing
the town may become the scene of hostil-
tiles in case OF war, on account of the
presence there of a Russian garrison, are
urging the consuls to secure action on the
part of the governments to maintain the
neutrality New Chwang, asserting that
business will be seriously impaired, and
adding that as the Russian occupation is
not rccognizeo by China or by the powers
the governments have ground for action.

NO TROOPS FOR PANAMA.
The Government Not Preparing to
Send Them. Root Declares.
(By the Associated Press }

Washington, Jan 12-Shortly after the
Cabinet meeting today Secretary Root is
sued the following statement regarding
the isthmian policy of the administration:
''The publication in various quarters of
nows indicating that the government is
preparing to send troops to the isthmus to
carry on military operations against Co
lombia, has been the source of considera-
bic annoyance to the executive and to
the War Department. No state of war
exists between the two countries; no in
auguuation of hostilities is contemplated
by this government; no preparation for
war is being made. 1t is not believed by
the President, nor by the Secretary Of
State, that any occasion for the employ
ment of troops on the isthmus is likely
to. arise. They have used their utmost
efforts to convince General Reyes and
the Bogota officials of the friendly in
teations of this government towards Co
lombla, and of their readiness to use their
good office in the settlement of any ques-
tions in dispute between Colombia and
Panama 1t is difficult for them TO be-
lleve that the authorities in Bogota can
be so blinded by passion and prejudice as
to declare war against us, and even if this
rulnous step should be taken by Colon
hla, this government would be in no haste
to respond to her challenge The Presi-
dent makes all possible allowance for the
natural excitement in Bogota over a
state of things for which the Colombian
government is alone responsible, and Of
which it was fully forewarned. But the
Coiombians must sooner or later recog-
nize the irresistible force of accomplished
facts, and the sooner this is done, the
better for all parties. We have done
them no wrong; we would like to be of
service to them; if they are wise they
will not put it out of our nower to help
them by any act of rashness and violence. 8"
General Reyes, prior to his departure
from Washington, in an iaterview with
Secretary Hay arranged for further con-
sidcration between representatives of the
TWO governments of the Panama matter.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 12.-The fight

morrow by a subcommittee of the Senate
Committee on Postoffices. w. F. Carter
of Mt. Airy and ]. E. Alexander, OF Win

Congressman Blackburn, who had him ap-
pointed, appears for him.
One of the charges against Albright is
that as railway mail agent he used his
mail car for the transportation of GER
tain kinds of merchandise in which he was
trafficking extensively at the time. 1t
appears that the charges against him are
pretty well sustained, and though there
has not yet been hearing on them, it
looks now as if he will have trouble in
being confirmed.
Mrs. Russells nomination has not yet
been sent to the Senate. Governor Rus
sell is confined to his room at the Ebbitt

Congressman Thomas made a speech in
the House today in behalf of his bill ap-
propriating ten thousand dollars to en-
close and beautify the grounds and re-
