PANAMA CONVENTION MEETS.
The Junta surrendsrs It's Powers to
Constitutional Body.

A dispatch from Panama says: Mem
bers Of the junta and several consular rep
resentatives were present at the first ses-
sion Of the constitutional convention. which
was also attended by great crowd Of
people.
DIR. Pablo Arosemena, temporary presi-
dent Of the convention, delivered the OPEN
ing address. which was repeatedly inter-
rupted by enthusiastic applause.
DR.. Arosemena reviewed the favorable
auspices under which the republic had been
born, and said:
Its security is protected by a powerful
people, in whose veins runs the rich blood
of those Puritans who shook off, with the
dust of their sandals, the torment Of relig-
ious intolerance and the opprobrium Of po-
litical despotism."
The message from the junta to the con-
vention begins by reviewing the history
Of the independence movement and Its
causes. The junta formally resigns the
legislative powers to the convention, and
lays before it an account of its acts, CIV
ing the reasons therefor. 1t says that
the revenues Of the republic are INSULT
cient, because the commercial tax has been
considerably diminished, owing to the an
ticipation of the changes which the ratifca-
ton of the canal treaty would effect In the
revenue system, and also owing to the in
evitable Increase in the army and the navy.
The republic only foated two loans In New
York, which were of 100000 each.

BAILEY AGAINST THE TREATY.
Texas Senator Criticises the President
in Canal Matter.

In a signed statement, wired to the Hous-
ton, Tex, Post last night, United States
Senator j. w. Bailey says: Il will retire
from public life before dishonoring my
state and party by voting for the ratifica-
ton of the Panama treaty"
In his statement Senator Bailey asserts
that the Presidents personal influence was
used to secure favorable action toward the
Panama route as opposed to the Nicara-
guam; that when the Colombian senate re-
fused to ratify the treaty submitted by the
United States, 1t was the Presidents duty
to take the alternative, but" says Mr..
Bailey, ''in absolute and reckless disregard
of the imperative command of the law
which he had himself approved, the Presi-
dent refused to negotiate with Nicaragua
and Costa Rica."
II can understand" he continues, ''how
many people, in their anxiety for canal,
might condone such course and excuse the
spoliation (of Colombia) on the ground thai
1t Vas demanded by the progress and civili-
zation of the world This Is precisely the
querors have always justified their wars of
plumber and aggression. have heard 1t as
serted that the people of this country de-
sire canal, and are not particular about
the methods by which they secure it.
cannot believe this is true of the American
people. The Panama route is not the only
one nor is 1t the best one.

of law; let US accuse him for his violation

BIG FIRE AT WHEELING, w. VA.
Plant of the Daily News Was Com
pletely Destroyed.

A dispatch from Wheeling, w. Va, last
night saws: In one of the most disastrous
fires ever experienced in this city an entire
block in the heart of the city's business dis
trict was tonight, within the space of one
hour. reduced to ruins, entailing a loss of

The fire originated in the boiler rooms OF
the Wheeling Daily News and spread rap

plant. which was one of the finest and most
complete in the state, wholesale liquor
house owned by Shaefer & Driehorst. and
the extensive plant of the Locke Brothers
Shoe Company Several other buildings
caught fire. but were saved by the prompt
work of the fire department and volunteer
citizens.
The entire department and reserves from
neighboring cities were called out. but the
flames resisted all efforts, and in short
time the blazing buildings were total loss.
The fire spread with such rapidity that
the employees of the News had no chance to
escape by the stairways. and the night edi-
tor. Allen b. Smith, and his assistant, r. NJ
Archer. were compelled to jump from the
second-story window into the street. escap-

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
HOW MINNEsoTA's GOVERNOR
FOOLED THE NEWSPAPER BOYS.
Heads Committee to Washington to
Secure Appropriation for Mississippi
River Improvement.

Gov. S. r. Van SAINT Of Minnesota is in the
city. He accompanies a committee Of Ave
gentlemen. representing the interests Of
the upper Mississippi. which will present
the claims of that section Of the country
for consideration in the river and harbor
bill.
The committee Is composed of Capt
AlonZo Bryson of Davenport Iowa, Ellis
B. Usher Of Wisconsin, Frank Gaienne of
Missouri and L. B. Boswell of Illinois.
They will urge Congress to appropriate q
sum Of money sufficient to open a six-foot
channel in the Mississippi from st. An
thony Falls to Cairo. Ill. The present chan
mel is only four feet, and the extent and
Importance of the river commerce fully
warrants this Improvement.
Governor Van SAINT is an old Mississippi
river steamboat captain, and has resided
for many years in the pretty town of Vino
ma on the river. Since his occupation OF the
governors office at st. Paul he has attained
no little national reputation for his cham
pfonship of the anu-merger legislation, his
persistent opposition to the railway merger
having much influence on the politics of the
state.
The governor, by the way, not only knows
how to take a joke, but as well knows how
to give one. On more than one occasion the
newspaper boys at st. Paul have turned
them on the governor. but a few days ago
he got back at them with a good one, which
he laughingly told today.
1t was quiet day at the state capitol.
and he telephOned to the newspaper offices
about town that he had an important an
nOuncement to make. 1t took but q few
minutes for the newspaper boys to gather in
the ante-room Of his Office.
The governor, in all seriousness, said that
supreme court judge had very suddenly
resigned and he wished to appoint sue
cessor before the papers began to make
politics out Of it.
He kept the boys on the tiptoe Of ex-
pectation for some minutes as he outlined
the possibilities of the information he was
about to convey. Presently he handed
over the following communication to the
anxious crowd:
Il, George Messing. hereby tender my
resignation as judge Of the United States
supreme court, at the st. Peter state hos
pital, for the full term of 1,610 days, crimi-
nal court for goods, merchandise and prod
uce ended in full for the year 1904"
1t was from a patient Of the insane hos
pital at st. Peter
1t may not be amiss to state that an ex-
citing campaign is already on in Minnesota
for the gubernatorial nomination, a MEM
Der of the state bench, Judge Collins hav-
ing already resigned to contest for the sue
censorship to Gov. Van SAINT
1t was significant when the governor
laughed over his little joke and remarked
1.-THE game is getting pretty bad when 1t
even affects the insane hospital patients"

NAVAL GUNNERs DESERT.
sixty-Four Men Missing From Ad-
miral Evans Fleet.

A dispatch to the New York Tribune
from San Francisco says; When Admiral
Evans fleet sailed for the orient from
Honolulu seventy-fve men from different
vessels were left behind. It was supposed
at the time that they would return In a
few days to the naval station, and then be
sent over to Join the fleet by the first
transport. Only eleven men appeared, and
several of these were captured by police.
1t is certain that sixty-four have deserted,
and the theory is that most of them have
succeeded in leaving the islands for Port
Arthur or Vladivostock, and there getting
places with good pay as gunners in the Rus
sian navy and at the Notifications.
While Admiral Evans fleet was at Homo
lulu local papers published cable dis
patch from China saying that Admiral
Alexieff was offering high salaries for

sertions.

First Fight Near Chemulpo.

The first fight will be near Chemulpo.
Many people think that Russia will prefer
| to keep her ships under cover Of her guns
at Port Arthur. Japan believes, however,
| that the transports steaming into Chemulpo
| and the knowledge that 1t will be our inten-
| ton to carry the fight at the outset into the
heart of Manchuria will tempt Admiral
| Alexief to action. At any rate, the site off
Chemulpo would be his best chance, seeing
| that his base for repairs and supplies Is at
| Port Arthur-little over 200 miles distant.
Battleships and cruisers have a nasty
habit of becoming lame ducks at the criti-
cal moment, and Russia would like to be al
near her port as possible. In respect to
dock yards, repairs and naval supply, OF
course. we are superior to Russia, and a
prolOngation of the naval warfare would be
to our advantage. If Russia refused battle
off Chemulpo perhaps we shall take the
offensive and lombard Port Arthur. We
are not at all certain that long-range guns
are placed at that fortress, and high angle
| fire would probably ruin the shipping in
port.
Our strength on land would consist in
concentration. Russia, on the other hand,
with her troops scattered all over Man
churia, with big garriSOns at Port Arthur,
| Dalny, Mukden, Niu-Chwang and vladivo-
| stok, would, we consider suffer by her de-
contradiction We think that by a great
| effort and much self-sacrifice on the part
| of our troops the rush upon Hardin, with
| its immense stores of ammunition, forage
and timed goods, would be a success. Once
| In occupation we should hold the line at
| the vital point. To the south would be
| Port Arthur and Dalny, cut off from their
| lines of communication. Both places would
be at the risk If assault by the Japanese
| navy outside and the Japanese army on
| the land side. To raise the siege the gar
rison would have to come out and fight in
| the open.
We think that the campaign at this point
| will show how well Japan has learned the
latest lessons of the science of war. We
| recognize / believe, that the Introduction of
| smokeless powder, long-range rifles and ma
| chine guns has revolutioniZed things. The
| lessons of the Franco German war; so long
| the text book and guide in the military
academies, and still taught in some western
| countries, are pretty well obsolete nova
| days. Now strategy is required, and tactics
must be adapted accordingly. In these re-
| spects we hope to show that Japan has kept
| well abreast of the times.
