Washington, January 25 The
house adopted unanimously a reso-
luton introduced by Representative
Cox of Ohio, requesting the president
to submit a complete statement OF the
cost of occupation or the Philippines
detailed information Of disbursements
for the occupation of the islands" said
Cox. I'VE have never had any fig
ures anywhere approaching the total
cost American interests, with the
knowledge and cooperation Of the
state department, fermented' the rev.
olution Of 1903 in Colombia, which re-
suited in the independence of Panama,
according to Representative Rainey
before the house foreign affairs COM
mittee. The committee began hear
ing on Rainey's resolution for an in
quiry into the taking Of the Panama
canal strip by the United States. Il
propose to show that the declaration
Of the independence of Panama was
prepared in New York in the office
Of william Wilson Crowell," said
Rainey. Our contention is that the
part which the United States played
for months prior to this revolution Is
a stain on the history of this govern
ment."

London, January "a: The activity
of Italian war vessels in the Mediterra-
mean and Red seas is causing uneasi-
ness in shipping insurance circles.
Several large insurances have been ef-
fected during the past two days al
Lloyd's in this connection. A pre-
MUM of per cent was accepted tC
cover the risk Of an outbreak Of hos
tilities between France and Italy In
the course of the next four months
and although there is no apparent
reason for such an acceptance, pre-
MUM of s per cent was paid on the
risk of the outbreak of war between
Great Britain and France and Ger
many within the next six months. The
italian action in stopping steamers ir-
respective Of their nationality, and
searching them for Turkish officers
and contraband, is believed to be an
evidence of the determination of the
Italian government to put an end to
Turkish resistance in Tripoli as speed
lily as possible. 1t is thought how
ever. that the Italian activity may give
rise to complications with those Euro
pean powers whose shipping is put to
inconvenience. So far no action has
been announced by the British govern
ment in regard to the seizure by the
Italians of a number of Turkish Of
ficers, including the famous Colonel
Ria Bey. from the British steamer
Africa in the Red sea. AS, however
the declaration of London, which
would permit such seizure, has not
been ratified by Great Britain. a move
may be made by the British govern
ment at any time. The stoppage OF
the Austrian Lloyd steamer Bregen2
yesterday in the Red sea is regarded
here as likely to lead to an exchange
of views between Italy and Austria.
- Lincoln, Neb.. January %: Will
lldIn y. Bryan taxes lle sue VI GON-
ernor Woodrow Wilson in his break
with Colonel Harvey and Henry Wat
terson. justifying the action of the New
Jersey governor in requesting that his
name be withdrawn from the columns
of Harper's Weekly. In letter sent
from the east, made public here to-
night. Mr.. Bryan says: THE recent
break between Governor Wilson and
Colonel Harvey illustrates the impos-
sibility Of cooperation between men
who look at public questions from diff
ferent points Of view. Colonel Har-
vey became a supporter of Mr.. Wilson
when he was selected as the Demo
cratic candidate for governor of New
Jersey and he continued his support
when Governor Wilson began to be
discussed as a candidate for the presi-
dency. OF course, 1t is absurd for
Colonel Harveys friends to talk about
his bringing Governor Wilson out.
No man or paper could have made
Governor Wilson available as a can
didate If he himself had not attracted
attention; 1t would have been impossi-
BILE for Colonel Harvey TO have pre-
vented a discussion of Governor Will
sons availability. But let us assume
that Colonel Harvey was doing all that
