ly in Support of Administra-
tiOn's Attitude in Panama

The President arrived at the banquet
hall shortly after 10 o'clock and was
given a cordial reception. He listened
and then was introduced to the large
assemblage. The President spoke for
about half an hour. He paid a tribute
to the G. A. r. and it's work. and in a
general way spoke of the duties of citi-
zenship and the lessons taught by the
Civil War.
In the beginning of his speech the
President said he had made it point
because of the pressure of official du-
ties not to accept social invitations this
winter, but he added that when 1t
comes to dinner given by the G. A. r.,
with the commander in chief as it's
guest nice customs must courtesy to a
great crisis.
John P. Irish of San Francisco made
a speech strongly upholding the Presi-
dents attitude on the Panama ques-
ton and saying that Mr.. Roosevelt was
one whom the people of coming genera
tions would honor for iTnplanting Amer
lean law, order and justice on the 18TH
mus.

the balance from the other counties.

President Responds to Gorman's Reso-

President Responds to GormanS Reso-
luton Regarding Colombia.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The Presi-
dent sent to the Senate to-day a mass
of correspondence in response to Sen
ator Gorman's resolution calling for the
dates and circumstances under which
the United States used forces in the
affairs of New Granada. or Colombia,
and whether such uses of military
forces were on the initiative of the
United States or by the request of New
Granada or Colombia, or in consequence
of any official representation of either
The resolution also called for copies Of
orders by the Navy Department relat-
ing to such use of military forces.
The circumstances under which forces
were landed are given by the Presi-
dent in detail, but orders by the War
and Navy departemnts concerning the
workings of such departments and
which will constitute a part of the rec
ords of the officers of the military and
naval intelligence bureaus are withheld
on the ground that the disclosure OF
such confidential information would be
incompatible with the country's inter
ests. The President in mis- letter of
transmittal says:
The correspondence since November 16, 1902.
the Navy which has not already been trans
mitted to the Senate, has no reference to the
matters covered by the resolutions and deals
with military governments, and for that rea- r
son il is deemeed Incompatible with the public
interest to make II public at this time.
AS a preface to the correspondence
Acting Secretary of State Loomis writes
a letter in which he says all the cor
respondence on record in the Depart
ment of State is given and that from
this it appears the United States forces
have been landed on the isthmus OF
Panama ten times. Acting Secretary
Loomis says further:
The accompanying papers also show. as a
reply to the second request of the Senate reso-
luton, that the United States has been re-
quested by New Granada or Colombia 10 exc
cute by armed forces the guaranty Of the neu-
| trality of the isthmus of the sovereignty
of New Granada of Colombia, and the dates
and circumstances OF such requests. particu-
| tion OF May, 1869; June &c, 1862: September
49, 1862 and from the Colombian legation of
| April and 4, 1865:
| tfon It appears from the correspondence that
| on one occasion United states forces were
! landed solely on the initiative of the United
States, namely, In September, 1902, when the
proposed landing.
The correspondence further shows as a re-
ply to the fourth request of the Senate reso-
/ luton, that the forces of the United States
have never been employed in the internal af-
| fairs of New Granada or Colombia otherwise
1 than to protect United States property and
maintain order and the freedom of the transit
| on the isthmian territory under the provisions
| OF the treaty of 1916.
The State Department letters are
| thirty-six in number. The first is dated
| October 2, 1856, and the last October I6
| 1902

WRECK OF TRAIN
AVERTED BY ACCIDENT
Freight Crew Makes Timely Discovery
of an Open Switch on the
Oregon Short Line.

Oregon Short Line.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. 3.-A we'll
planned attempt to wreck the east
bound passenger train No L on the
Oregon Short Line was made Sunday
night at a point seven miles west of
Bliss, Idaho, and but for the fact that
the fast passenger train was a few
minutes late it would have dashed into
an open switch at a fifty-mile gait and
been hurled into a deep ditch. The
fact that the train was late enabled a
freight train to get to the danger spot
first and resulted in the discovery of
the turned switch in time to avert a
disastrous wreck. The railroad de-
tectives are making a searching inves-
tigation and expect to make arrests in
a few days.
That a deliberate attempt was made
to wreck the train there is no doubt.
The switch had been turned but few
minutes before the discovery and
placed in such position that it would
throw the train into the ditch. The
freight happened to reach the side
track ahead of the passenger train
and stopped short prepared to get out
of the way of No. /. Then the train
crew discovered the turned switch. 1t
was readjusted and No. 1 Numbered
past in safety two minutes later.

RANCHER AND HIS WIFE
VICTIMS OF A MURDERER
Crossing From Chemainus to Their
Home ON Kuper Island.

NANAIMO, B. c., Feb. 3-The bod
les of Charles Wilson, wealthy
rancher, and his wife came ashore at
Chemainus this morning in an Indian
canoe. The unfortunate couple were
the victims of one of the most brutal
crimes in the history of Nanaimo.
They left Chemainus, a suburb of this
place, yesterday to cross to their home
ON Kuper Island, and a party of log
gers discovered their canoe on the
beach this morning riddled with bull
let's and bespattered with blood. Lying
in the bottom were the bodies of Will
son and his wife, the flesh torn to rib
bons and the skulls crushed in. The
shots had been fired at close range and
the murderer evidently finished his
terrible work with the butt end of
gun.
Wilson was known to carry large
sums of money, which fact possibly
furnishes the motive for the crime. A
posse has been organized and the
the woods and shore are being secured
for a clew. to the assassin.

"A porarily relieve catarrh have been
devised from time to time, such as.
sprays, snuffs. creams and other
local applications but, as a rule. the
medical profession has little or no en-
thusiasm in the treatment of catarrh.
1t is generally pronounced by them to
be incurable.
It therefore created a great sensation
in medical circles when DR.. Hartman
announced that he had devised a com
pound which would cure catarrh perma-
nently
The remedy was named Peruna and in
a short time became known TO thousands
of catarrh sufferers north, south, east

CLERKS WORK AT NIGHT.
At the top of the blackboard
are suggestively arranged two
heads, one bear, one bull-and
one full-grown eagle-but no
lamb. Under these, showing the
scope of the transactions, are
headings for the New York stock
quotations, Chicago grain and
provisions, New York cotton,
San Francisco grain market,
other grain markets, and room
for quotations of wheat, corn,
oats, pork, lard, ribs, etc. The
field of deals covers about every
large corporation that has shares
in the market.
All last night the windows of
the offices of Bolton, De Ruyter
& Co. blazed. Within the offices
a force of clerks toiled under the
electric lights. Bookkeepers were
busily engaged in getting ac-
counts posted and laying the
basis for a financial statement of
the firm to be exhibited at the
first meeting of creditors. Re
potters who secured admittance
were told by the manager of the
concern that no news would be
given out.
Even the fact, we1l-established
earlier in the day, that the firm
had virtually suspended, was a
topic on which the manager and
the clerks were silent. They
would not admit nor would they
denv that failure had come.
CASH CAREFULLY COUNTED.
Until quite late the manager of the
house was absent from the firm s
place of business, and he said that he
had been with Mr. Bolton. but a
search for the last named at the clubs
and at his home at the corner of Sac

to be unavailing. He could not be

answer to the charge, that the days of

For fully two hours, by his bright
witticisms, pleasantness and oratoncal
flights he held his audience with un-
broken attention. Seldom does one hear
speech so fair to all persons and parties

Senator Delivers. A fitting title for
his unnamed address might be, The
Young Mans duty to State and Church. "
This was illuminated by frequent refer

inspirational. The speaker in addition
to a striking physique and clear
