Cheers Interrupt Speech

When he appeared on the platform
roar of cheers burst out which lasted
for several minutes and it took him q
good deal longer than he had expected
to make his speech, because the people
spent almost as much time in cheering
as they did in listening.
Just before Colonel Roosevelt finished
his speech a man who was standing in
the midst of the dense throng tainted
and Roosevelt stopped his speech in the
middle of sentence while the man was
given attention. Seated on the platform
with Colonel Roosevelt were Governor
Vessey of South Dakota, Senator Gam
BILE, Judge John E. Garland of the
United States circuit court, and Seth
Bullock, United States marshal
In introducing Colonel Roosevelt,
Judge Garland said:
His life has embodied in it so many
of the ideals of our people that he has
come to be the incarnation of their

Treaty Permits Forts

WASHINGTON Sept. Officials
both of the state department and of the
army expressed surprise today that
any question had been raised at this
time as to the right of the United
States to erect fortifications along the
Panama canal. They regard the un-
favorable comment in the English press
on Colonel Roosevelts remarks about
the necessity for fortifyiig the canal
as lack of appreciation both of the
action of the American government and
of the attitude of the British foreign
Office.
BY implication it is declared by
American officials that the American
and British agreement of 1901, known
as the Hay -Pauncefote treaty, gave the
United States the right to fortify the
canal.
The implication is drawn from sew
cral clauses. 1t is pointed out that
the United States guarantee to neu
tralize the canal only refers to bellig
erents, not enemies of the United
States. Furthermore, it is added, no
express provision was incorporated in
the rules forbidding the United States
to fortify the canal, as was done with
Turkey in the case of the Suez canal.
In this connection, according to the
understanding by the state department,
the view of the British government was
expressed in a memorandum by Lord
Lansdowne August 81, 1901, communi-
Gated to Secretary Hay through Lord
Pauncefote.
Il understand that by the omission
| of all reference to the matter of de-
Tense" he said, the United States gov
! ernment desires to reserve the power
of taking measures to protect the canal,
! at any rate when the United States may
| be at war, from destruction or damage
at the hands of an enemy or enemies.
