Cabinet Discusses Panama.
WASHINGTON At Friday's cabi

ject under discussion was the Panama
situation. 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.

PROTESTJS HERE
COLOMBIA OPPOSED TO ACTION
OF THE UNITED STATES.
APPEAL TO ENGLISH SYMPATHY
Allegation That American Govern
ment Has Violated Terms of Treaty.
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. A
committee consisting of the mayors
of Pittsburg, Alleghany and McKees
port, and the chairmen of the city,
county and councilmanic committees,
was appointed to make a canvass and
report on facilities for taking care of
the convention.
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.

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.
