A PANAMA
INQUIRY
Possibility Of Some interest
Ing Developments.
RECESS HEARING BY HOUSE
Resolution Presented Asking for Au-
thority Makes Appropriation
of $4,000 to Pay the
Expenses.

Washington, March Members Of
the House subcommittee who have been
investigating the management and ope-
ration of the Panama railway have
heard enough curious and interesting
facts about affairs on the Isthmus to
lead to desire to broaden the scope
Of the inquiry, and continue their work
through the summer A Joint resolu-
ton from the full committee on inter-
state commerce was submitted to the
House yesterday, asking that it be au-
thorized to investigate the "Isthmian
Canal and the Panama Railway"
through a subcommittee to sit in the
United States and at Panama. The res
olution carries an appropriation of &C.,
900 to pay the expenses of the investi-
cation. One OF the subcommittee said
today
we have heard enough to make us
want to know more. Many charges
have been brought to our attention
which we have not had time to investi-
gate. Allegations have been made which
have not been supported by proof, and
we wish to probe them.
The committee is particularly anxious
to learn something about proposed
pipe line across the Isthmus, and the
identity Of the hackers of the scheme
The project has come to the surface
several times during the recent hearings,
but its difTident sponsors have not shown
themselves Then, there are contracts
Of one sort and another for supplies,
aholu which fha. cnnamitfea is auvio1s
to secure details. Interesting develop
ments are expected through the summer,
as some Of the important members Of
the committee are determined that the
scandal that marked the progress Of
the old French company shall not char
acterize our affairs ON the Isthmus. It
is thought, too, that early scrutiny will
have salutary influence in nipping
any grating schemes that may be under
way.

ARAB REVOLT
SPREADS FAST
Turkish Troops Deserving and Two
Besieged Towns About To
Surrender.

Constantinople, March THE pres
ent inspection in Yemen province, Ara
bia, appears to put in the shade all pre-
vious revolts. The centre of the move.
ment is at Saada, northward Of Sanaa,
capital city Of Yemen province, and al.
ready there are signs of its extension
o the province of Assyr.
The insurgents have again surround
ed Canaa, and a stubborn fight has been
in progress for five days. Many Of the
Turkish troops refuse 10 resist any
further and are DESERVING.
To the south, the towns of Aab and
Hidjeh, the latter containing 1000
troops with four guns, are surrounded
and are on the point Of captivating.
The alleged victory of Feb. 1, when
Turkish forces had routed the rebels
investing Sanaa and Hodieda, Yemen
province, and had relieved the besieged
garrison Of Sanaa turns out to have
been an insurgent success.
Turkeys defective transportation de-
lays the despatch of achievements.
The object of the instruction is be-
lieyed to be the creation of an autono-
nous Arab state.

Father Gapon, the leader of the strikers

Full of single faith in you as the

YOU peacefully, accompanied by the chill
dren, your people. AS you must and
do know, the innocent blood Of workers,
their wives and their children Of tender
age henceforth and forever separates
you, their assassin, and Russia's people.
Half measures, even the promised
States General, are no longer able to
control the food of popular opinion
Bombs, dynamite and terrorism await
all assassins Of the people dcspoiled 81
their rights.
Russia perhaps viii perish. Try to
understand it and remember it. Re.
nounce then, as soon rs possible, with
all your family, the throne Of Russia,
and appear before the tribunal of the
Russian people. Have pity on your chill
dren. Have pity upon the countries 81
the empire, you, who have offered peace
to other nations and slaughtered your
own.
Addressing the people Of Russia, Fa-
Their Gapon eongratulates the workmen
upon their heroism and bids them dis
trust the promises Of the assassin, the
Car. He commands them to despise
the Holy Synod and the priests, I'd
organize fighting battalions Of working
men, to shoot down the officers, de-
stroY water mains, gas pipes, telephones.
telegraphs, railways and government
buildings, but to respect private prop
erty.
He announces that committee Of
defence viii formulate plan for a
general instruction as soon as possible
with view to abolish the autocracy
and to summon constituent assembly
based upon universal suffrage. He
promises to join the workers when the

Field.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.--The Evening Post

ernor Odell, chairman OF the state repub-
lican committee on the subject OF a state
ment credited to Governor Higgins to the
effect that President Roosevel1is solicltous
about the political conditions in New York
county and is anxious that a man OF the
highest character and reputation be Sc
lected for chairman of the county repub-
lican committee.
MIR. Odell said that II the president de-
sired a change In the chairmanship he
should send for Mr.. Halpn, the present
chairman, and ask him TO retire. 81 have
nc doubt that Mr.. Halpin would acquiesce," A"

been invited to go to Washington TO con-
suit with him. Senator Plstt has stated
that the president desires the election Of

clares that the president is not for any
particular man. l cannot tell, therefore,
