Secretary Morton Coming.

congressman William B. Lamar, who left for Eastern points this morning, stted that upon his recent return from Europe he hadI had a conference with Secretary Paul Morton of the Navy De- partment, and the result was that the Cabinet ofdcer had signified a desire to visit Pensacola during the month of November. The Chamber of Commerce has taken up the matter and to make sure that the head of the Navy De- partment will be here, that body will frame formal invitation to the sec retary and urge him to make the trip in order that he may see the advant- ages offered here for the location of the large graving dock which has been talked of for some time. There Is now every indication that Congress will al- low the dock. and that the Secretary of the Navy will report favorably upon the project.
 Senator Mallory has 1t from a high offlcial of the Navy Department that the dock at New Orleans can never be used to the advantage desired by the De- partment in docking ships on account of the swift current there.

VIII Be Prepared to Meet Any Emer-
 wency on Isthmus.
 Washington, Oct. 20-American ma rines will be retained on the isthmus of Panama for the present, prepared to meet any emergency which may arise as the result of the disgruntled clements In the new republic.
 This decision was reached today ano orders have been issued for a new bat taIion of marines to go to the isthmuS about November IS to relieve the bat" talion which has been there Tor wear This new battalion will be com rnanSed by Liutenant Colonel Thomas N. Wood. The exact number of men in this new battalion has not been de- oided on but 1t probably will be of about the same size as the oattalton now on the isthmus which Is to De brought home and dispersed among the marine barracks in the northern part of the United States.
 That the situation on the isthmus is still not all that could De desired IS the news which came to Washington today in a personal letter from an off, cer now in Panama. While the Pan- anna government is entirely loyal. 1t searos that there are certain disgrun- tIed elements on the isthmus and in view of the ease with which revoIu- ttona are started in Central and South America. 1t Is the official opinion here .hat tba marines should remain there for the present.
 It Is hoped that the mission of Sec- rAfarv Taft will have a far reaching efrect in bringing all elements on the Isthmus fin harmonious accord with the governments policy.

 "Washington, D. C., Oct. 10, 1903.
 My Dear pr. Shawl enclose you, purely for your own information, q conv of a letter of September 5 from our Minister to Colombia. think Il might interest you to see that there was absolutely not the slightest chance of securing by treaty any more than we endeavored to secure. The alter natives were to go to NiearauSa aRainst the great majority of compet- ent enRineers-some of the most com netent saving that we had better have no canal at this time than go there-~or else to take the territory by force withoue any attempt at getting q treaty. cast aside the proposition made at this time to foment the seces- sion of Pana ma. Whatever other Gov ernments can do, the United States cannot so into the securing by such un . derhand means the cession. Privately freely say to you that I would be de- lighted if Panama were an independent State. or if 1t made itself so at this moment; but for me to say so publicly would amount to an instigation of re- volt and. therefore, I cannot say iE. With great regard.
 sincerely yours,
 Theodore Roosevelt"
 Knew of RebeIs' Plans.
 From this remarkable letter." con- cIuded the speaker, "it seems evident that when it was written the President was advised of the contemplated seces sion of Panama, which eliminated No vember 3. 1903, and 1t Is equally evil dent that his information came from an authoritative source. for he consia cred and cast aside proposition tU foment the movement.
 While the letter In some respects is characteristic of the frankness and courage for which the President Is dis tinEuished, it exhibits also his rash ness and his contemptuous disregard of the rights of others when his pur- poses are involved In writing privately to one who Is publicly fomenting seces- sion. whose restless ambition creates distinction between private and publii | instigation of conspiracy and reyofu ton and contributes by his name an, exalted station to the dismembermen of a republic.

Appellate Court Renders Decision In
 Favor of Imdinnss
 South McAlisteF, I. T., Oct. 19.--The United States Court of Appeals today rendered an opinion that the tribal gov- ernment could collect tax on goods im- ported into the Indian Territory. The merchants had resisted the paying ot the taxes on the ground that Indian governments have lost Jurisdiction over incorporated cities and towns, and se- cured an injunction from a United States court restraining the Indian of- ficials from collecting the tax.
 The decision of the court of appeals reverses the decision of the district court. and is to the effect that the tax can be collected on all merchandise shipped into the Indian Territory. The case will be appealed to a higher Fed erals court and in the meantime no taxes will be collected pending the final decision.

THE PANAMA SCANDAL
NEW MATTER IS BROUGHT OUT By
 CULBEnsON.
Private Letter from Roosevelt to Shaw Shows the President's Cognisance
 Sf the Pending Revolution Agxfnsf Celombfa.

New York, Oct. 20.-Under the aus- pices of the Reform Club a Democratic mass meeting was held here tonight at Carnegie Hall at which Senator Charles A. Culberson of Texas, Cover nor Andrew J. Montague of Virginia. Consressman John sharp Williams of Mississippi and Borough President Martin W. Littieton of Brooklyn, were speakers. Paul Fuller of the Reform Club presided. Mir. Fuller introduced Mir. Culberson, who said:
 Senator Culberson devoted the great CT portion of his remarks to a discus- sion of the Panama Canal. going into details of the revelation by which Panama became an Independent State and the subsequent negotiations which resulted in the canal treaty. Alluding to what he termed '.rhs spirit of law lessness which led the President in this disgraceful afYair," he declared that the transaction above all others In his of all legal restraint and his unsuitable passion for personal and arbitrary gov ernment"
 Continuing, Senator Culberson said:
 Law and Faith Disreanrded.
 Choosing an occasion on which he can appeal to the avarice of the people and thus temper their spirit of resist ence to usurpation, he respected neither legal bounds nor national good faith and as the incident serves to illustrate not only his imperious and despotic na- ture. but the danger to the country which Is involved in his election. 1t is well to understand 1t, for beside a want of general information upon the subject important facts have been de- liberately withheld from the public"
 He then sketched the course of events in the passage by Congress of the bill known as the 'Spooner law" authorizing the canal. and charged that the President in his course with Co., Iombia "defiantly violated both It's let. ter and spirit"
 He claimed that the Hay-Herran treaty, if not nuilified by the unani- nous vote of the Colombian Senate dis- approving it, expired by limitation upon the failure of Colombia to ap- prove 1t within the time fixed for rati- fication. He entered in detail into the legal aspect of the matter, and continu- ing, said:
 Tt is astonishing. in view of these indisputabie facts, that the defense of the President with reference to this statute should be placed by himself and his party upon the ground that when he entered Into the Panama treaty the time within which he could lawfully deal with that route had not expired"
 It Is interesting, added Senator Cul- person, in this connection, to read the Presidents message to Congress Jan 4, 1904, in which he said.

A Reasonable Time."

"As events turned out. the question of reasonable time did not entcr into the matter at all. And yet there had not been a lapse of a req sonable time-using the word reason. able in any proper sense--such as would justify the administration going to the Nicaraguan route"
 Then, he read the following letter from Secretary Hay to Minister Her. ran, which has never before been pub lished:

He au- thorizes me to sign with you the treaty of which I have had the honor to give you a draft, with this change, that the sum of S100,000 annual payment therein mentioned be increased to $25O, ,000. I am not authorized to con- slider or discuss any other change whatever. John Hay"
 Withheld the Letter.
 While the President" continued the speaker, fin defense of his revolution ary course, was prescribing the oppo- site view on the country in his message and by his partisans In Congressional debates. and while public opinion upon the question was forming. this letter was significantly withheld even from the Senate for months. though others upon the general subject were trans mitted.
 The character of this occasion nec- essarily precludes an extended discus. sion of the details of the fabricated re- bellion in Panama or the legal ques- tions which pertain to 1t. It must suf- flee to say that the national adminis- tration, in precipitate and guilty haste, anticipated and discounted the time for the revolt

 'T accept it as true that the executive officers of the administration did net officially and publicly instigate the re- volt in Panama; but that the adminIs- tration. including the President, pri- vately favored and encouraged the movement and that this was widely known, is susceptible of demonstration, and in a matter of this character 1t was tantamount to committing the Govern ment to it..
 The very atmosphere of Washington was charged with this belief. The movements of the navy In consonance with the wishes and expectations of the conspirators is inexpIicabIe except upon the hypothesis of sympathy and foreknowledge. The press of the coun- try, whose representatives at Washing ton visited the State Department and White House daily. teemed with sug-. gestions and prophecies of secession, recognition and a treaty with Panama from June until November. 1903, with out objection or protest or denial from the administration"
