The whole Panama ques tion was discussed briefly, particular attention beine; devoted to prospective development's in congress. Both the president and members of the cabinet have taken up the matter with the senate and the house, with a view to a reconciliation of any difficulties that may exist and to the securing of har monious action, if possible, on the isthmian car.al question. It can be stated authoritatively that the situa tion, as it now presents itself, is rea sonably satisfactory to the president and his advisers. Usually the cheerfulness of the bride's father would seem to indicate that he is the best man at the wed ding. Sympathy With Booth-Tucker.

An Appeal to the Dignity and Honor of American People. NKW YORK The New York Eve ning Post has received the text of the Colombia protest. It is addressed to the United States senate and is signed by President Marroqin. It is as fol lows: To His Excellency, the President of the Senate, Washington: Excellency: The government and people of Colom bia have been painfully surprised at the notification given by the minister of the United States to the effect that the government at Washington has hastened to recognize the government consequent upon a barracks coup in the department of Panama. The bonds of sincere and uninter rupted friendship which unites th two governments and the two peo ples; the solemn obligation under taken by the American nation in a public treatry to guarantee to the sov ereignty and propetry of Colombia in the isthmus of Panama the protection which the citizens of that country en joy and will continue to enjoy among us; the traditional prinicples of the American government in opposition to secession movements; the good faith which has characterized that great people in international relations; that the manner in which the revolution was brought about and the precipi tancy of Its recognition mako the gov ernment and the people of Colombia hope that the senate of the people of ihe United States will admit their ob ligation to assist us in sustaining the integrity of our territory and In re pressing the insurrection. In thus demanding justice Colombia appeals to the dignity and honor of the American senate and people. MARROQUIN. It is to be hoped that the petition for justice which Colombia makes to the American people will be favorably received by a sound public opinion among the sons of that country. Minister of government, Esteban Jara- millo. Colombia Turns to London. LONDON The Colombian author thorities have cabled to London a lengthy protest against the United States' action toward Panama, in which they claim the "main responsi bility for the secession of Panama lies with the United States government, first by fomenting the separatists' party, of which there seems to be clear evidence; secondly, by hastily acknowledging the independence of the revolted province, and finally by preventing the Colombian govern ment from using proper means to re press the rebellion." The cable message goes on to say that President Marroquln has energeti cally protested to the United States and wishes that his protest be known throughout the civilized world. The president contends that the United States has infringed article xxxv of the treatry of 1846, which, he asserts, implies the duty cn the part of the United States to help Colombia in maintaining its sovereign over the isthmus. PROTESTS AGAINST SMOOT. Hundreds of Petitions Filed in the Senate. WASHINGTON Several hundred petitions protesting against Reed Smoot retaining his seat as junior senator from Utah were filed in the senate. Most of these were offered by Senator Burrows, chairman of the elections committee, through petitions filed by their senators. Churches, re ligious organizations of all kinds, uni versities, colleges and other educa tional institutions are among the or ganizations which have filed protests. Some of these petitions charge that Senator Smoot practiced polygamy, while others rest their objections on the charge that he is a member of an organization which countenances the practice of plural marriage. Senator Burrows said no action will be taken by the elections committee until the one vacancy on the commit tee has been filled, and that it is not likely the changes will be considered until the last week of the extra or the first week of the regular session. Pittsburg Will Make Bid. PITTSBURG A meeting called by Thomas K. Ford, chairman of the re publican county committee, to arrange plans to secure the coming republican national convention, was held.

Threaten to Blow Up Hotel. CHICAGO Threats to blow up the Plaza hotel, a large structure fronting Lincoln park, have been made to the manager of the building, in anony mous letters, which name as an alter native the payment of the sum of $500. The letters have been turned over to the police and a trap was laid for the -writer. The instructions as to the delivery of the money were followed, but the writer failed to put in an appearance. THE LAND LEASING D1LU The Proposition Makes lis Appearance in Congress. WASHINGTON Tlio lard leasing proposition made its appearance in congress Friday, when Representative j Iacey introduced a bill which primar ily gives to homesteaders and settlers In the arid and semi-arid regions the right to Improve and protect the grass upon the public domain in the vicinity of the lands so as to prevent further detorioratlon and monopolization of the range by the owners of large herds of live stock. Such parts of the arid and semi-arid region as are not nec essary for irrigating purposes may. un der the Lacey bill, be leased for stock gra.ing purposes subject to the right of hon:e:tead and other entry nt all times. The leases are to be regulated by the secretary of the interior, to run for five years. vlh the right of renewal, each lease to be limited to 3.20O acres to each person. The leases are non-t rarisfcrable and are to be granted o::!y to actual settlers. Corporations are denied the right to make leases. The lands subject to lease are to h:j classified and shall be rented et rates varying from 1 to (j ce::ts an acre per annum. Persons leasing land under the above provi sions will be permitted to fence the land at their own expense. LAM3ASTS ANTI-SMOOT PEOPLE. Filing of Petitions Practcally a Con tempt of the U. S. Senate. WASHINGTON The house was ifl session only five minutes Wednesday" and no business was transacted. The senate began business in earn est by receiving a number of petition and also many bills. In presenting a numerously signed petition asking the senate to expedite the consideration of the charges against Mr. Smoot, Mr. Hoar took oc casion to remin the senders of peti tions bearing upon Mr. Smoot's case that the proceeding is out of order and is improper. He based his re marks upon the fact that the deter mination of Mr. Smoot's rights will be purely a judicial proceeding, to be determined by the laws and the con stitution of the United States. "With all due respect to the signers of the petitions of this character," he said, '"I want to say to them that their petitions are as much out of place when addressed to this court as simi lar petitions would be if addressed to the supreme court of the United States in any case pending before that tribunal." SENATOR DIETRICH AMONG THEM Batch of Indictments Brought in by the Federal Grand Jury. OMAHA The federal grand jury in session in Omaha Monday returned a batch of indictments which are said to include bills against United States Senator Charles H. Dietrich and Post master Jacob Fisher, both of Hastings, Neb. There are three bills against Dietrich and three against Fisher. The indictments are the outgrowth of a personal and political feud be tween District Attorney Summers, who has been seeking reappointment, and Senator Dietrich, who has refus ed to endorse Summers and has been pushing a competitor for his place. The grand jury has been at work investigating the Hastings postoffice case ever since it convened last week Monday and a host of witnesses have been in attendance to give evidence on the subject in hand. There are six counts in the indict ment against Senator Dietrich. In the first it is alleged that he agreed to receive money from Jacob Fisher for procuring his appointment as postmaster at Hastings. In the second it is alleged that he received money from FTsher for pro curing his appointment. In the third it is alleged that he agreed to receive property for pro curing Fisher's appointment. In the fourth it is alleged that he received property for procuring Fish er's appointment. The fifth and sixth counts are in the nature of technical variations upon the first four. In No Hurry to Give Recognition. HAVANA It has been decided by the cabinet that no recognition will be given by the Cuban government to the new republic of Panama until that republic has been recognized by some of the other Latin-American governments. Released from Mexican Jail. TUCSON, Ariz. Hermosillo advices state that Walter MeCurdy, the Amer ican attorney who has been in a Mex ican prison nearly a year awaiting trial on the charge of forging tele grams in connection with the trans fer of the stock of the Yaqui Copper company, was acquitted Friday. Mc Curday has jet to stand trial on the charge of assault on one of the stock holders of the Y'aqui Copper com pany. Must Pay the Policy. LEADVILLE. Colo. A suit of im portance was decided here Friday in the case of the widow of A. Cooper man against the United Moderns. The latter, just before the deatn of Coop erman, canceled his policy, alleging that the policy holder secured admit tance bv misrepresentation. The jury decided thrt the disease on which the alleged misrepresentation was charg ed was not of long standing and awarded the widow the judgment. A VOTE THURSDAY HOUSE BEGIN3 CONSIDERATION OF CUBAN BILL. FOUR DAYS FOR DSSCUSSION At Conclusion of that Term Bill Un doubtedly Will Be Passed Senate to Get Measure on Friday Has No Work but Treaty Confirmation. WASHINGTON The bill making effective the Cuban reciprocity con vention, reported by the ways ami means committee, will be taken up in the house Monday and disposed of Thursday. It probably v ill be sent to the senate Friday. Mr. Payne of New York, chairman of tiie ways and means committee, in accordance with tbe- notice he gave on Friday, will ask the house as .soon as it convenes Monday to be.in its consideration. A rule will be report ed by the committee cm rules provid ing for a vote t -1 p. m. Thursday without intervening motion. On the ademption of tin rule the house will go into committee; of the whole and dis cussion of the Cuban bill will be be gun. The program of the minority is well defined by the resolution adopted at the democratic: caucus. A rub cut ting off amendments will b" opposed in order that an amendment may be offered striking out the differential on refined sugar and eliminating the five-year clause. The resolution made it the sense of the caucus that demo cratic members should vote for the bill either "upon the adoption or re jection of the amendment." With the house in the committee of the whole Speaker Cannon will be given an opportunity to consider fur ther the makeup of the house com mittees for the present congress. It is the intention of the senato leaders to confine as closely as pos sible tne legislation of the present extra session to the bill to carry Into effect the Cuban treaty, and with that end in view the daily sessions of the senate during the present week will be brief and another adjournment will be taken on Thursday or Friday until the following Monday. The work of introducing bills and of presenting pe titions will go forward, but with the exception of the Cuban bill, neither bills nor petitions will be taken up in committee nor discussed in the sen ate during the week. It is quite well understood that Senator Morgan is prepared for a prolonged discussion of the situation on the isthmus of Panama, but while he seems not to have taken any one into his confi dence, the general supposition is that he will defer his speeches until the new canal treaty shall be sent to the senate. Th3re Is an understanding on the part of senators that even though the negotiations of the new conven tion be forthwith completed, it will not be transmitted to the senate until the beginning of the regular session of congress in December. It is ex pected that the Cuban bill will be re ceived from the house on Friday and it is probable that a session will be held on that day in order that the bill may be referred to the committee on foreign relations, which will begin it j consideration at once. WITH MUCH FELICITATION. Reception of Consul General Gudger. PANAMA United States Consul General Gudger arrived here Sundaj evening and was met at the railway station by a great number of persons, including the members of the provi sion government, army officers and other prominent persons.
