PRESIDkNT CRITICISM.
Congressman Fitzgerald Sounds Warm
 ing Against Encroachment.

ing Against Encroachment.
 Washington, April 1.-The house dur ing its session to-day listened to a crit isism of the President on the part of Mir. Fitzgerald (New York) for the failure of the chief executive to prop erly advise the house as to the objec- tions he had to the bill opening 505, 900 acres of land for grazing purposes in Oklahoma territory, instead of advis- ing the members of the Indian affairs committee as to the weakness of the measure, so that 1t might be amended to meet the wishes of the commissioner of Indian affairs.
 Mir. Fitzgerald in the course of his strictures on the President said: This is not Russia. The President is not like the Czar, who originates and enacts legislation. The President may recom- mend, but he can neither originate or enact legislation, Somebody may say this is trivial The history of all gov ernments which have parliamentary in- stitutions shows that the failure to re- sist trivial encroachment on the part of the chief executive has led to vast encroachments until the legislative branch of the government existed in name only"

PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS.
Programme of subjects-Use of Force
 in Collecting of Debts.

Programme of Subjects--Use of Force
 in Collecting of Debts.
 Washington, April 1.-The programme of subjects to be considered by the Pan American conference which meets at Rio Janeiro in July was unanimously approved by the bureau of American republics to-day. This programme was prepared by committee of which Sec retary Root is chairman, and included the ambassadors from Brazil and Mex ico and the ministers from Costa Rica, Chile, Cuba and the Argentine repub- lie.
 Probably the most interesting of the subjects are embraced in resolutions affirming the adherence of the Ameri- can republics to the principle of arr bitration for the settlement of disputes arising between them, with an express sion of hope that the coming Hague conference will agree upon a general arbitration convention; also resolu- tion recommending that The Hague conference be requested to consider the extent to which the use of force for the collection of public debts is admissible. Incidental to this will be the discussion of the so-called Draago doctrine, which is opposed to the forcible collection of debts of one nation by another-a doc- Urine long adhered to by the United States.

 Tie court Is composed of four gener- als and two colonels, Lieutenant Gener- al Sir Gerald Morton presiding.
 Lieutenant Kennedy testified that after mess March IS, just after he had returned from sick leave, he was tried by mock court martial on the charge that the medical officer had found him in filthy condition and that he had told his colonel a lie. Kennedy was thereupon sentenced to be stripped and to take bath. The sentence was car ried out with force and mixture of motor oil and other ingredients were poured over him and jam was spread over his hair Subsequently Kennedy escaped naked to his room His per- secutors, however, proceeded to break the door open, whereupon Kennedy jumped out of window and took his refuge in hotel

Reported 10 Have Privately Admitted
 This--A further Belief that If the op-
 orators Meet Them Half Way They
 Might Consider Proposition to Re-
 new Strike Commission Award for
 Year at Least-MitcheH Refuses to
 Say Anything on the Subject.
 New York, April At was the gen. eral belief tonight of those who are closely watching the situation about the anthracite miners headquarters in this city that the miners have definitely de- cided to modify their demands and will present them to the operators probably tomorrow. Some of the members of the committee privately admitted be- fore coming to New York for the pres ent negotiations that the original de- mands of the union were greater than the miners really expected to get, and that the leaders could afford to trim them down and still leave the workers enough to be satisfied. It is believed that if the operators will meet the men half way on some of the demands they have made, such as reconstruction of the conciliation board, an eight-hour day and an increase in pay for some classes of labor, the miners would seri- ously consider the proposition of re- newing the strike commission award for not more than one year. The min CTS have all along asserted they would hfnH thnytn o1ung n o ot1f for three years.
 When the reports that the miners would modify their demands, and other rumors to the effect that they would suggest that the differences between themselves and their employers be ar bitrated, and that a convention of an- thracite miners would be called within few days, were called to the attention of the members of the committee, they referred the inquiries to President Mitchell, who when approached would shake his head and say:
 There is nothing I can say at this time.'
 All queries from other cities and from various parts of the anthracite coal re- zion received at headquarters were re- piled to in the same way.
 Preparations for another meeting to- morrow between the sub-committees representing the anthracite operators and miners kept the Shemokin scale committee of the miners busy to-day Two long sessions were held, but be- yond the following statement by Pres ident Mitchell no information was given out;
 "The committee appointed by the Shamokin convention met at the Ash land house to-day and had under con- sideration the communication from the governor of Pennsylvania and the offer of the anthracite coal operators to ra- new and continue for three years the award of the anthracite coal strike commission. It was decided that the matter of further negotiations and the propositions of the anthracite miners be referred to the subcommittee appoint ed by the general committee, and that a further meeting of the general com mittee be held tomorrow at o'clock The subcommittee is now in session"
 All the district leaders received re- ports from the anthracite fields during the day and evening, and, notwith- standing reports that more coal was mined to-day than yesterday or Mon day, they declared the situation was
