Congress three messages, one concern
ing his recent trip to Panama, one
regarding the personnel of the navy,
and one relating 10 the prevalence OF
public land frauds.
The President took Issue with the
muck rakers" and, in effect. de-
clared the Canal Commission ad-
ministration and the general condition
of affair ON the ISthmus ms good as
human ingenuity can make them. lie
refers TO these criticisms as ISLANDERS
and "libels' and expresses his eN-
treme contempt for their authors. lie
paints a glowing picture OF the pro-
gress of the work, and predicts that
the canal viii be glorious success.
intimating that il will be completed
in eight years.
The sanitary condition i'm th9 great
majority of instances he says is better
than in some portions of the United
States. There seem To be, 2" ne says,
too many saloons in the zone.
But the nsw high-license law is eN-
peeted TO remedy this defect
This country he declares, "has
never made a better Investment than
the sac. 900, 900 which is paid the
