Chadwick from Consul General Gum

satisfactory progress is not being

for further Instructions. Secretary Hay
has told them that they must adhere
strictly to their original instructions;
that they must not in any way become
involved in guarantees. and that they
must not land marines or sailors with
out specific instructions from Washing

arose in Venezuela were settled in such
a way by President Roosevelt that the
Monroe doctrine was signally indicated
and the cause of peace and arbitration
greatly advanced.
His prompt and vigorous action in Pan
anna. which We commend in the highest
route, but avoided foreign complications
which might have been of very serious
character. He has continued the policy
OF President Mckinley in the orient. and
our position in China, signalized by our
recent commercial treaty with that en-
plre. has never been so high.
He secured the tribunal by which the
vexed and perilou3 question of the Alas
kan boundary was finally settled.
Whenever crimes against humanity
shocked our people, his protest has been
made and our good offices have been
rendered, but always with due regard to
International obligations.
Under his guidance We find ourselves
at peace with all the world. and never
more regarded by foreign nations. Pre-
eminently successful in regard to our
foreign relations, he has equally been for
tunate in dealing with domestic questions
The country has known that the public
credit and the national currency We're
absolutely safe in the hands of his ad-
ministration. In the enforcement of the
laws he has shown not only courage,
but the wisdom which understands that
to permit laws to be violated dsre-
Sarded. opens the door to anarchy, while
the just enforcement of the law Is the
soundest conservatism. He has held firm
~ to the fundamental American doctrine
that all men must obey the law that
there may be no distinction between rich
and poor. between strong and weak. but
that justice and equal protection under
the law must be secured to every citi-
Zen without regard to race, creed, or
condition.
His administration has been throughout
vigorous and honorable. high minded and
patriotic. We commend IL without res
ervatton TO the considerable judgment of
the American people.
Indications were that he convention
would adjourn until noon Thursday.
