P, 1902, adopted th9 following resolu-

P. lsos. adopted thf following resOlu-
 The republics asEsembled at the in- ternational conferenlce of Mexico ap- plaud the purpose Of the United States government to constFuct an interocean- ic canal and acknpwledge that this work will not only lbe worthy of the greatness of the American people, but also in the highest selnse work of civ ilization and to the grIeatest degree ben eficial to the development of commerce between the American states and the other countries of the, world
 Among those who signed this reso- lution on behalf of their respective govclnments was General Reyes, the delegate of Colombia. Little could it have been foreseen that two years later the Colombian government, led astray by false allurements of selfish advan- tage and fcrgetful alike of it's interna- ticnal obligations and of the duties and responsibilities of sovereignty, would thwart the efforts of the United States to enter upon and complete work which the nations of America, re-echo- ing the sentiment of the nations of Flu rope, had pronounced to be not only worthy of the greatness of the Amer ican people," but also fin the highest sense a work of civilization
 POWERS FOLLOW OUR LEAD.
 That our position as the mandatory of civilization has been by no means mis- | conceived is shown by the promptitude with which the powers have, one after another, followed our lead in recogniz- | ing Panama as an independent state. Our action in recognizing the new re- public has been followed by like recog- milton on the part of France, Germany Denmark, Russia, Sweden and Norway Nicaragua, Peru, China, Cuba, Great Britain, Italy, Custa Rica. Japan and Austria Hungary.
 In conclusion let me repeat that the question actually before this govern. ment is rot that of the recognition oi Panama as an independent republic That is already an accomplished fact The question, and the only question, i: whether or not we shall build an isth milan canal.
 | I transmit herewith copies of the lat est notes from the minister of the re public of Panama to this governmen and of certain notes which have passed between the special envoy of the re public of Colombia and this govern ment.

 cessity, which do not admit of indefi- mite delays.
 WICKED DELAYS.
 To such delays the rejection by Co., lombia of the Hay Herran treaty di- rectly exposed us. As proof of this fact I need only refer to the programme out lined in the report of the majority of the Panama canal committee, read in the Colombian senate on the 14th of October last Tn this report, which recommended that the discussion of a law to authorize the government to en- ter upon new negotiations should be indefinitely postponed, it is proposed that the consideration of the subject should be deferred till October 31, 1904, when the next Colombian congress should have met in ordinary session. By that time, as the report goes on to say, the extension of time granted to the New Panama Canal company by treaty in 1908 would have expired and the new congress would be in a position to take up the question whether the company had not, in spite of further extensions that had been granted by legislative acts, forfeited all it's prop elty and rights. When that time ar- rives,'' the report significantly declares, "the republic, without any impeachment, will be able to contract and will be in more clear, more definite and more ad- vantageous possession, both legally and materially" The naked meaning of this report is that Colombia proposed tc wait until by the enforcement of a' forfeiture repugnant to the ideas of jus tice which obtain in every civilized na- tion the property and rights of the New Panama Canal company could be con- fiscated.
 RECOGNITION JUSTIFIED.
 In the third place, confidently inain- tain that the recognition of the repub- lie of Panama was an act justified by the interests of collective civilization. If ever government could be said to have received a mandate from civiliza- ton to effect an object the accomplish ment of which was demanded in the in- terest of mankind, the United States holds that position with regard to the interoceanio canal. Since our purpose tc build the canal was definitely an- nnunced there have come from all quar- ters assurances of approval and en- couragement, in which even Colombia herself at one time participated and to general assurances were added specific acts and declarations. Tn order that no obstacle might stand in our way Great Britain renounced important rights un- der the Clayton-Bulwe treaty and agred to it's abrogation, receiving in re- turn nothing but out honorable pledge to build the canal and protect it as an open highway. It was in view of this pledge and of the proposed enactment by the congress of the United States of legislation to give 1t immediate effect that the second Pan-American confer ence, at the City of Mexico on January

Hyperion rhsatsr.

Frank Daniels, whose operatic sue cess, "The Office Boy" will be seen at the Hyperion tonight and tomorrow night, may be said to have first come into national prominence by his unique impersonation of the Hoytian character Old Sport in the clever farce. "A Rag Baby" Theater- -goers of a decade ago will not forget this quaint and at times almost pathetic creation of the broken down sport whose greatest ambition
 was to shake the hand that shook Sul- livan's. Mr. Daniels appeared with great success in this character for sev-
 eral seasons, as a leading member of
 one of the late Charles H. Hoyt's com
 panies. He grew to such an extent in public esteem that his next venture was
 on his own account, when he produced and played for number of. years an excellent dramatization of Anstey's i'm Iaginatiye story, "Vice-Versa,' the stage version of which was called Little Puck" From musical farce MT. Dan- iels branched out into comic opera and produced successively those amusing and extremely popular operas, ''The Wizard of the Nile" .'The Idols Eye, J .The Ameer' and Miss Simplicity. T
 The latter opera was not as successful
 as the previous ones and was discarded | at the end of the last season. In the meantime MT. Daniels made a contract with the shrewd and ambitious youna
 manager, Charles B. Dillingham;, who provided him with the musical piece
 ''The Office Boy" in which he is ap. bearing this season and which has proved to be, if reports may be believ. 1 ed, the crowning triumph of his career Seat sale now open, Prices $1.50. S1 ant I75 cents.

Po,,,s rheaser.

Press Eldridge, with his unique garb and wonderful flow of talk and those comical song ditties.. was the leading feature of Manager Poli's vaudeville bill last night. Press simply had the patrons in continuous laugh and re- called time and again for another verse of his ditties. Nursery rhymes are not in 1t a minute when Press gets started on the Girl from Alaska who would drink every time one would ask her" and the rest of the fayorite material that brought the house down. It's a genuine laughing show again this week makes you start the new year right.
 The Four Huntings also scored an emphatic hit with their new act, "A Night in Fool House" and they had a good time amusing the audience with marvellous comedy acrobatic stunts of a good Imaginable kind.
 Prelle and his talking togs furnished the good novelty act of the bill and the dogs are genuine favorites with the la dies and children.
 Josephine Gasman furnished the pick aninny act of the right sort and was re- warded with liberal applause.
 Ten Brooke Lambert and Ten Brooke in an operatic trio number, Professor Schmalzs Academy" were very anus ing.
 Tom Jarvis is a comedian of ability, and Cunningham and Lord are good in song and dance numbers.
 The electrograph offered unique views of How honey is made" It showed the entire operation by means of the motion pictures. Some other equally interesting series were shown.
 Prices: Evenings. 10, 20 and 90 cents; afternoons, 10 and 20 cents; ladies at lnatinees, 10 cents; box seats, 50 cents.

The cott1n MN strlke.

AT Fall River, Mass, 10000 cot
ton mill operatives have struck be-
cause a-noLice OF reduction in wages
was served TO go into effect this

the cost oi living az this cine Is too
great to permit reduction IN

low price Of cotton goods rendered
the reduction necessary. The in.

Couldn't Hurt TiIIman.

In Columbia, s. c., Senator Tillman
is not so popular as he is in other
parts of the Palmetto state. A few
days ago a young Columbian entered
the outer office of the city's leading
dentist. Coming out to meet his pa
tient, the dentist whispered excitedly:
Whom do you 'spose I've got In
side here? Old one.eyed Ben Till
man! And If don't make him squeal
nobody can. won't do a thing to
him-oh, my" And the dental sur
geon brandished his forceps gleefully
and returned to the pleasure Of tor
turing the Senator.
Next day the same young man came
again.
"Well, did you succeed in making
Tillman yell?" he asked.
The dentist shook his head sadly.
mo" he replied in a disappointed
tone, 81 couldn't make him finch. He
didn't make a sound, and, dye know,
when he got out of the chair he
turned to me with a smile and said:

that you ran painless dental shop"
