PARIS. Nov. 10. The French government
has recognised the de facto government of
the Republic of Panama.
The action of France carries out the pur
poses which M. Delcasse had throughout,
namely, to leave the United States umram

The Instructions forwarded by Foreign
Minister Releasee to the French consul at
Panama authorise him to have relations
with the new government. The lnstruc
tlons are substantially the same as those
sent from Washington to the United States
consul at Panama and will have the effect
of giving the same recognition of the
new regime as the United States has al
ready given It. A formal recognition will

BERLIN. Nov. 10. The Colombian com
mission. If It comes here, will reoelve no
consideration from the German government.
The corespondent of the Associated Press
called the Foreign office's attention to the
statement made yesterday by Arturo de
Brigard. the Colombian consul general tn
New York, that the Colombians were
clamoring for a German protectorate over
taelr country, and that the Colombian gov
ernment had been asked to send a commis
sion to Germany to offer Emperor William
certain pieces of land on both seas In re
turn for Germany's protection. The reply
was:
"We have no Intention ef mixing our
selves in the affairs of the Isthmian state.
We are still without any Information from
our consular reports , In rogard to the
revolution, hence we have not asked the
United States to look after our Interest.
The statement regarding our Interests In
Colombia and Panama have been much ex
aggerated, but we hope to see our trade
thus prosper better after the United States
builds the canal."
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-An Important
conference ooncsrnlng the Panama situation
was heM at ths. White Hooee today prior
to the formal meeting of the cabinet. The
participants In the conference were Presi

bers of the cabinet. The decision reached,
If anv. WU tint riiflnlnapfl. It Im unriar.
W 1 stood, however, that the decision was
pursly Informal and not Intended In any
manner to be decisive.
Shortly before the meeting of the cab
inet Senator llanna arrived at the ex
ecutive offices, accompanied by W. J. Cur
tis, a member of the law firm of Sullivan
tc Cromwell of New Tork. attorneys In
this country for the new Panama Canal
company.
Discussed at the White Iloiaae.
They were admitted to the president's
office at once. Mr. Curtis remained but
a few minutes. He said he merely paid
his respeots to the- president. Senator
Hanna remained with the president for
more than half an hour. Long after the
members of the cabinet had assembled he
, and the president continued to talk, sev
eral of the cabinet joining In the conversa
tion. As Senator Hanna left he said
that he and the president had not discussed
the question of the chairmanship of the
jpubllcan national committee. 1
' "In fact," he said, "that matter was not
mentioned today. It's a dead Issue any
i ' . how. We talked of a variety of topics.
among them the Panama situation. That
Is not a political question, not even a
technical one. The people of this country
want an Isthmian canal built and they
want It built by the Panama route. They
have accepted the Panama roate fcnd they
propose to stand by the president In the
matter of constructing the canal by that
route."
Senator Hanna was aked whether In his
opinion it would be necessary to enact new
legislation to provide for negotiations be
tween the United States and the Republic
of Panama for the construction of that
canal. He replied that that was a question
for a lawyer to answer. He felt that a
new treaty would be necessary, of course,
but did not think serious difficulties would
be encountered in negotiating a canal
treaty -with Panama.
No ttitrmrati Given Oat.
The ' whole, situation In respect to the
revolution out of which has grown the Re
publlo of Panama was considered thor
oughly at the conference. Considerable ap
proval of the president and Secretary Hay
In the matter was given by the members
of the cabinet
It Is understood that no further state
ments concerning the organization of the
new republto or the negotiations between
Panama and the United States regarding
the construction of the isthmian canal
will be made at this time. The situation,
so far as American Interests on the Isthmus
are conoerned, is regarded to be In excel
lent Khape.
The status ot M. Philippe Bauna-Varilla.
the representative In this country of the
Heiiubllo of Panama, was .considered, but
no statement concerning the matter wus
made at the conclusion of the meeting. If
no change In the present sltuaUon should
occur It is not regarded as likely that any
additional naval force will be ordered to
the lmhmus. Certainly no land forces will
be ordered to Panama unless the situation
shou)d take a serious turn.
Glass Will Be la Command.
The Navy department Is advised that

CONFERENCE AT WHITE HOUSE

Ho Coaclusloa as to Action oa
Cabaa Treaty,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. The president
tonight bad a conference with a number ot
leaders In "both houses of congress. Those
who called on him at the White House were
Secretary Moody, Speaker Cannon, Senators
Allison, Aldrlch, Piatt of Connecticut,
Spooner, Hanna, Hale, Lodge and Wet more
and Representatives Payne, Dalzell, Taw-
ney and Hemenway. The conference began
aftor 9:30 and those who called professed
not to know the purpose of the gathering or
what questions were to be considered.
The conference at 11 o'clock broke up.
Thoae who attended it were very loth to
discuss any feature of It. but one of the
participants stated that the members of the
house present had taken dinner with the
president and had been called together for
the purpose of going over with the presi
dent certain portions of his forthcoming
message to congress. ,
When at 9:40 the members of the senate
arrived the party entered Into a general
discussion of the reciprocity matter now
before congress. It developed that the old
controversy between the house and senate
over the dcsln of the former ta Initiate all
legislation was the principal toplo of con
versation. The members of the house
claimed that the present treaty provides
that during the life of the convention the
present duty on sugar shall not be reduced
either by treaty or convention. To concede
the position of the senate, they assert,
would be a surrender of their constitutional
powers.
It was ssld. that unless the power of the
house Is admitted there will be the same
difficulty presented as at the last session,
with the probability that the measure will
be defeated. No conclusion was reached by
the conference.

TRADE JURISDICTION VITAL
American Federation of I.abor Dla
enssrs it Gravely at Bostota
Meeting.
BOSTON, Nov. 10.-The doV gates to the
twenty-third annual meeting of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor today reassem
bled for deliberation on subjects, the Im
portant nature of which has drawn to Bon
ton labor leaders frxm all parts of the
country.
President Compers address and the re
ports of Secretary Morrison and Treasurer
Ix-nnon were presented yesterday, so that
the principal Item of routine, as arranged
for today, was to be the report of the ex
ecutive council of the federation.
It was expected that the many recom
mendations contained In President Qom
per's address would be acted upon by the
convention. His declaration that the great
danger which confronts the federation Is
the Internecine strife between affiliated
unions over the Jurisdiction of trades ha
been the chltf topic of discussion among
the delegates. It wan generally accepted
that some decided action on this matter
would be taken.
John Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, presided for a
time this afternoon at the convention of the
American Federation ot Labor, and he re
ceived a greeting from the delegates which
was as sincere and spontaneous as It was
enthusiastic.
James Duncan of Washington, D. C, first
vice' "president of the federation, read the
report of the executive council of the or
ganlzatlon. This report was emphatic In
disapproval of the Internal troubles of the
federation arising from different conceptions
as to what trades came within the jurlsdlc.
tlon of the various unions.
The report contained all the correspond
ence In the Miller case at Washington. It
has been understood that this case will be
brought up later. The executive council
made no comment upon the correspondence,
nut later added that the trades union move
ment stands for the strictly union shop and
also discourages the recognition of the
open shop."

Hfrschmann of this city, a cousin of Mar
tin Lbew, a medical student whose death
occurred recently In Baltimore, soon after
his initiation Into a Greek letter fraternity,

from a fellow student.
The Utter declared that when Loew went
to the fraternity hall to take the first de
gree he was met by twenty-five men. He
was told to undress and after doing so was
blindfolded and taken into a room, where
he was laid out on a cake of Ice. He was
then carried upstairs to the balcony and
thrown over the rail, a drop of twenty-five
feet. On the floor beneath stood a number
of students holding a sheet.
"When Loew fell- into this." said the doc-
tor, "he was tossed up and down until ha
was unconscious. After being revived he
was beaten until his body was a mass of
bruises. That night he was in such a
wretched condition that, his roommate
stayed up all night with him. Whisky and
quinine were given to him during the night
ana in the morning he felt revived.
"The following Saturday lie took the sec

dead, and his chum, who had Just taken

TO ROOF THE AUDITORIUM
Directors Will Meet to Provide Faclll
ties for Covering Building
Beforo Wlater.
The Auditorium directors will hold !
meeting loaay to consider the ques
tion of roofing the building, If possible, be
fore severe weather. They still hope that
this can be done. There Is a question to
be settled as to the material to be used.
either slate ot tiling answering the specifi
cations. The latter material probably will
be decided on. The contract for the roofing
timbers has not yet been let and there
Is a possibility that enough ot the 10x11
timbers which are to be laid across the
Iron gli ders cannot be obtained Immediately
in Omaha yards, as a large number will
be required The sheeting Is to be laid
diagonally over the beams, and then the
slate. The Iron workers expect to lift and
place the proscenium arch thla week and
the other two trusses next week. The roof
work can then be done without waiting
for the brick, which does not support Its
weight. If not held back by the stone
workers, the brick contractor asks for only
two weeks to finish the walls.
A large amount of work is being done
dally, but it is of the kind which does not
show no the casual observer. The brick
work on the south wall has been completed,
with the exception of a small section at
the east end, and the scaffolding removed
This wall stands four stories high and the
iron beams, which are riveted In flush with
Its top, will support the roof promenade
which will encircle the building. The brick
workers on this wall had no stcne work
to watt for and so finish a half story ahead
of the other sides. The stone men are
busy in placing the stone cornice, which
extends for the full length ot the three
street faces, and this Is necessarily slow
work. The Corinthian capitals for the
brick pilasters have been put in position
only roughly blocked out and will be carved
later, as It would have taken too much
time to do this during construction. An
other thing which has been done to save
time is the omission of the stone columns
from the north and west fronts where the
entrance steps are to be placed. A footing
for the stone work which will rest on these
eighteen columns has been left and this
work will be done next year.
Practically all of the Iron beams which
will support the balcony are In place and
considerably more than half have been
riveted. Seven of the ten roo&gtrders have
been pulled up and the lateral bracing
bolted In. The derrick has been Jacked up
to the stage platform and la ready to raise
the proscenium arch, the heaviest of tha
Iron woik. This has been assembled. Work
Is how being" done on the uprights . which
will support the other trusses. The vault
lng arches over the basement at the south
of the enclosure are being built In.

Chief Deputy Francis of the Hastings
postofflce, who waa In the city, said In
reference to the Hastings postofflce mat
ter:
"I am disposed to believe that the entire
matter la simply spltework on the part of
Mr. Hahn. The postofflce during his ad
ministration waa in the leased Grand Army
building, and he leased ths fixtures from
the Grand Army of the Republic boys.
When It became- necessary to change the
postofflce in order to furnish more con
venient quarters for the general publlo a
movement was at once put on foot to buy
the fixtures for the new location, in order
to help the Grand Army out, and It was
In deference to this -movement that the
purchase of the fixtures was made by
Postmaster Fisher. Of course there Wre
some opponents to the measurt and ouf
this grew the present scandal. There Is
nothing tn It, and I am of the opinion that
It will never get beyond the grand Jury

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. "Thla ficfim.
city treaty stands by Itself. It Is demanded
on consideration of broad national nnlirv
as well as by our economic Interest It
win ao narm to no industry.. It will benefit v
many Industries." 1
Such is the trend and nrowtratlv ih rt.
of the 1,000-word message sent by Preal
dent Roosevelt today to the congress he
had called In e,-(-mjrdinary aession to se
cure for Cuba a reallnatlon of the promises
ne naa snared in making.
Text of the Message.
In full the message reads t
To the Senate and House of Representa
tives: I have convened the consress that it mav
consider the legislation nectssary to put
Into tpnratlon the commercial treaty with
Cuba, wLlch was ratified by the senate at
Its lust ression, and rwi.quently by the
Cuban government. ; deem tuch legisla
tion demanded, not only by cur Interest,
but by our honor. We cannot with nro.
prlety abandon the course upon vhich wetne
have so wisely emb-'ked. tyn
hen he acceptance of the Piatt amend
ment was required from Cuba bv tha action
of the congress of the United States, this
government thereby definitely committed
lUelf to the policy of treating Cuba as oc
cupying a unique position as regards this
country. It was provided that when the
Island, became a free and Independent re
public she should stand In such close rela
tions with us as In certain respects to come
within our system of international policy;
and it necessarily follows that she must
also to a certain degree become Includad
within the lines of our economic policy.
Situated as Cuba is, it would not be pos
sible for this country to permit the stra
tegic abuse of the plan by any foreign mili
tary power. It Is o this reason that cer
tain Kmltatlona have been Imposed upon
her financial policy, and that naval sta
tions have been conceded by her to the
United States. The negotiations as to the
details of these naval stations are on the
eve of completion. They are so situated
as to prevent any Idea that thsre Is the In
tention ever to use them against Cuba, or
otherwise than for the protection of Cuba
from tha assaults Of foreign foes, and for
the better safeguarding of American ln
ests In tha waters south ot us.
Grants Are Proof of Good Faith.
These Interests have been 3.rere!y In
creased by the consequences of the war
with Spain, and will be still furter In
creased by the building of tbe Isthmian ca
nal. They are both military and economic.
The granting to us by Cuba of the naval
stations above alluded to Is of the most
Importance from a military standpoint, and
is proof of the good faith with which Cuba
Is treating us.
Cuba has made great progress since her
Independence was established. She has ad
vanced steadily In every way. She already
stands high a: ong her sister republics of
the new world. She is loyally observing her
rbllgattons to us, and she Is entitled to
like treatment by us.
The treaty submitted to you for approval
secures to the United States economic acK
vantages as great as those given to Cuba.
Not an American interest Is sacrificed by
the treaty; a largo Cuban market la as
sured to our producers. It la a large mar
ket which lies at our doors, which Is large,
capable of great expansion, and which Is '
particularly Important to the development
of our export trade. It would be. Indeed,
short-sighted for us to refuse to take ad
vantage of such opportunities and to force
Cuba Into making arrangements with other
countries to our disadvantage.
This reciprocity treaty stands by Itself.
It la demanded on consideration of broad
national policy, as well as by our eoonomlo
Interest. It will do harm to no Industry,
It will benefit many industries.
Faith Pledged 10 Treaty.
It is In the Interest ot our people aa a
whole, both because of Its Importance from
the broad standpoint of International policy
and because economically It Intlmutely con
cerns us to develop and secure the rich
Cuban market for our farmers, artisans.
merchants and manufacturers. Finally. It
s desirable as a guaranty of the good
faith of our nation toward her young sister
republic to the south, whose welfare must
ever be closely bound with ours. We gave
her liberty. We are knit to her by the
memories of tha blood and tbe courage of
our soldiers who fought for her tn war; by
the memorioe, of tho wisdom and integrity
of our administrators who saved her In
peace and who started her so well on tha
difficult path of self-government. We must
help her onward and upward; and tn help
ing her we shall help ourselves.
Ths foregoing considerations caused the
negotiation of a treaty with Cuba and Its
ratification by the senate. They now, with
equal force, support the legislation by the .
congress which by the terms of the treaty
s necessary to render It operative. A fail
ure to enact such legislation would come
perilously near a repudiation of the pledged
lailh of the nation.
1 transmit herewith the treaty as amended
by the senate and ratified by the Cuban
government.
