creek valley and the Governor's troop was
ordered to that point. Companies F and K

trolley cars and run through the valley. '
When the oars reached Summit Hill they
wors surrounded by a mob of strikers, who
hurled rocks at the soldiers and called them
hard names. While Jimmy Marteen.. an

The troopers started back to the camp,
and aa the care rounded a curve Just out

care alowly to reach Lansford In safety.
A mob had gathered there and for a time
It looked like a riot. As the first car wss

Several soldiers Jumped from the ear In

WASHINGTON. Aug. 28 An Important
communication relating to the Panama ca
nal treaty has keen received by Mr. Concha,
the Colombian minister at Washington. The
officials at Bogr - have Informed the min
ister that spec' j -notions to govern the
reply which Coo '''1,, ' make to the mod
ifications in the tre. ''' -sed by Secre

tion here have anticipated thv ''rut
at Bogota to some extent and aire..- a
set about the task of framing a reply K h,
to the ben of their knowledge, will embody
the views of the home government. When
the Instructions from Bogota are received
the answer, which they will have already
drawn up. will be made to harmonize with
the latest sentiment at Bogota, and it then
will be presented formally to Secretary Hay.
As already stated, the modifications which
were suggested by Mr. Hay met with general
approbation In Colombia, but there are a
number of changes which the Colombian
government desires to make before the
treaty Is signed.
The main purpose of the negotiations
which have been going on between Bogata
and Washington Is to conform the spirit of
the canal act with that of the canal treaty.

Kerschner, advanced and read an address
of welcome from a parchment scroll. Be

100 representatives of the city In evening

"My trip la purely for rest and recu

beyond an Indefinite stay at various con
tinental watering places. I intend to leave
business strictly alone while on thla aide
of the ocean. There la not the slightest
friction In the steel trust management
everything is most harmonious. I have
not the slightest Idea whether trusts will
be an Issue In the next presidential elec

ever, that they are being freely discussed
nowadays."
Mr. Schwab worked extremely bard dur
ing the voyage, and this morning he was
up before S o'clock watching for mall and

CARLISLE TALKSTO THE BAR
Tell the American Association ef
United States Power to Gov
ern Territory.
SARATOGA, N. T., Aug. 28. John O. Car
lisle of New Tork, former secretary ot th
treasury, delivered an addresa before the
American Bar association today. He spoke
of the power of the United State to own
and govern territory, which, he said, was
a question ot the acquisition of territory
from Spsln.
"Unless the constitution Is changed,
which Is hardly probable," said Mr. Car
lisle, "the law la the aame, whether the ter
ritory Is located In the eastern or western
hemisphere."
He next touched on the limitation of the
power to acquire territory under the con
stitution of the United Statea and re
ferred to the power to declare war and to
make treaties.. "The territory acquired by
military occupation," the speaker declared,
"la held by the same until congress can meet
and substitute civil for military govern
ment." Congressional power to government
acquired territory waa dwelt upon at aome
length, and the Porto Rico Incident In re
gard to Imports and exporta waa alluded to
by the speaker.
"Porto Rico and the Philippines cannot be
domestic for one purpose and foreign for
another purpose," he said.
Mr. - Carlisle quoted ffim the decisions
banded down by the supreme court.
Mr. Carlisle said In addition:
The right of discovery Is not authorized
by International powers. The power to
derive territory Is derived from the same
source an power to declare war. Not only
Is the power to acquire admitted, but also
is the right to govern It admitted. 1 don't
believe It rlKht to the people to proscribe
political rights, depriving them of a say in
the conduct of these affairs. Territory Is
not property in the sense of depriving its
Inhabitants of the power of government.
The government In a territory when rati
fied by a treaty becomes fie facto, although
administered by the military. The func
tions of the latter, after the recognition of
territory as a part of the new owner, ere
merely to preserve order, to protect the
interests of the people, to eee that they
shall enjoy the liberties of subjects of the
governing country.
When the treaty with Spain wae ratified
Porto Rico and the Philippines became do
mestic. Those new possession could be
come domestic for one purpose and foreign
for another. It was held, however, that
Porto Rico and the Philippines did not be
come domestic under the meaning of the
revenue laws. The constitution was In force
with Porto Rico when it became a part of
tho United States. The trade with Porto
Rico is domestic trade, and the authorities
of the port of New York hsve ruled that
the regulations governing vessels trading In
foreign trade did not apply to those trad
ing with Porto Rico.
The constitution does not expand or eon
tract, but extends wherever our boundaries
extend. As the territory of a country ex
tends so its Jurisdiction extends or dimin
ishes a the country dlminlsneo.
In the section of trade mark and patent
law, the principal address waa made by
L- Bond of Chicaaro.
Reports were submitted by aeveral of the
special committees.

The company postponed a dividend declar

The circular contains the following:
"The events of the last eighteen months.
In connection with railroad propertiea have

porate propertiea are exposed, of the con
trol of their stock being bought up in the

It extends from the Island of Java to

The disease, too, la being contracted by

8T. PAUL, Minn.. Aug. 28. Tha United
Ststes court of appeals, in an opinton by
Judge Sanborn, today denied the applica
tion for writ of habeas corpus or other re
lief In the rases of Thomas D. Nevltt and
Samuel C, Poden, judges of the county court
of St. Clair county, Missouri, and sustalna
th right ot a federal Judge to Imprison
Judges of county courts for contempt in
refusing to carry out the mandates ot a
Judgment Issued by him.
This case, the like of which. It la aaid,
has not come before the courts since the
early and unsettled dsys of the republic,
datea back to a period shortly after the
close ot the civil war. St. Clalr county,
In aid of the construction of a railroad.
Issued a large amount of bonda and when
these became due the county sought to
evade payment and to have the courts In
validate them. ' The judgment against the
county, aggregating more than $200,000,
however, were issued In the United Statea
court. The county fought on, adopting
every legal device to defeat the enforce
ment of the Judgment and the case haa
been In the court In some form until about
two years ago, when United Statea Judge
Phillips, at the Instance ot one of the
judgment creditors. Issued a writ of man
damus directing the county court to levy
a tax for the partial payment of the In
debtedness. The judge refused to obey
the mandate, holding that the bonds had
been illegally issued. Then came the or
der of arrest and commitment for contempt
of court.
Dlgnltarlee Play Hlde-and-Seelc
The judgea evaded the federal court of
ficers, who sought to serve the writs on
commitment, hiding In the woods and other
placea. Meanwhile the county courts were
not held, criminal went untried, civil
cases could not be heard, the county roads
and bridgea fell into decay and other busi
ness commonly transacted by the county
court was wholly neglected.
Recently, however, the marshals discov
ered the hiding placea of the fugitive
judges and arrested them. Their counsel
petitioned the court of appeals for their
release on ball and for an order staying
;rscscd!2S 'jr.!! application could be
made to President Roosevelt for a pardon.
In denying their application Judge San
born declines to enter Into the merits of
the original controveray aa to the legality
of the bonda, and holds that a writ of
habeas corpu cannot be made to' perform
the office ot a writ of error, as It la avail
able only,, when a prisoner is Illegally re
strained by a' court without 'power to make
an ardor -for contempt. ,-. In that-portion
ot. their petition asking. that proceedings
be stayed; pending an appeal for pardon, the
"petitioners alleged -thatv their "contempt
waa "an offense agslnat the United States."
In answer to this. Judge Sanborn hold
that their commitment to prison until they
comply with a mandamus directing them
to levy the tax referred to la not of a crim
inal character, but civil, remedial and
coercive In its nature, because It ia of the
character ot an execution to collect Judg
ment and that the president is without
constitutional power to grsnt reprieve or
Issue pardon In such a case.

at State Baeampmeat
at Tha Weirs.
NEWBURY, N. H.. Aug. 28 I'ri nident
Roosevelt toplght Is the guest of Secretary
of State Hay, whose aummer home ia sit
uated a few miles from here on the shores
of Lake Sunapee. The secretary and hla
daughters met the president upon his ar
rival and joined with the assemblage In ex
tending him a hearty welcome. The presi
dent delivered a brief addresa to the towns
people, In which he thanked them for their
greeting. He then entered Secretary Hay'a
launch Nomad and ateamed to the Falls.
New Hampshire's arms were open today
In readiness to receive the president. Long
before he waa awake a committee repre
senting the governor boarded the train.
The welcome they extended to him on be
half of the state waa magnified later In
the day in the smaller towna through which
the train passed, and at Nashua, Manches
ter, The Weirs and at Concord, although
the day waa replete with mlacarrlage ot ar
rangements. Crowd Too Great.
At Tbe Weir, where the Grand Army
reunion waa held, the people. In the ex
oess of their desire to accord the president
a fitting reception, came near causing a
crush which might have resulted disas
trously. As It waa the preaident wsa for
a time In the midst of a howling, surging
mass and waa all but carried oft hla feet.
So Inadequate were tbe police arrangements
tbat the crowd had entire control of the sit
uation and much relief was expresaed when
the president, after reviewing the veterans,
wss ported into the hotel for luncheon.
Here again the carefully laid plana for
hla entertainment went astray. . Luncheon
was served through the gallantry of tha
governor'a atafT, who turned to waiter. The
president' speech at the. park was most
favorably received. Aa In the case of Ban
gor, he admonished hla hearers to remain
still and not to ahove. A great crush oc
curred at Concord aa the train waa pulling
out, and for, a time It wae feared people
would be hurt.
:J: .". evall. Loses Sleep,, 1 1
NASHUA, N. H,, Aug. 28. For tho firai
time alnee beginning hla tour ot New Eng
land President Roosevelt last night slept
aboard the train. He remained up until a
late hour, talking over old tlmea with
"Bill" Bewail, his former guide, whom ha
insisted should accompany him to Ells
worth and back to Bangor. In all proba
bility the president will return to Maine In
October for a bunting trip.
Early thla morning at Kittery Junction,
Me., the train waa boarded by General Ay
ling of Concord, N. H., aecretary of atate;
Edward Pearson and George H. Moses, rep
resenting Governor Jordan of New Hamp
shire, who extended the president a wel
come to that atate as soon as the president
bad passed the boundary.
In his anxiety to respond to the greeting
of the people of Clermont, a email station,
the president, who bad not finished dressing,
rushed to the door of his car, wrapped In an
overcoat, and bowed to the little gathering.
At Wyndham Junction the populace waa
astir early and aa tbe train approached th
station a aalute waa fired and a rousing
cheer went up aa the president appeared on
the rear platform. Th train reached
Nashua on time.
Ovation la tontlnoona,
The president and his party were escorted
to carriage and all proceeded to tha city
hall. At the station and along the streets,
and massed around tbs platform, which had
been erected In front of tha nttv hall, were
thousanda who cheered Incessantly front
tbe time the president's train appeared un
til he had begun to speak to the great as
sembly. The president occupied about tea
mlnutea with bis address.
Withdrawing from the platform, tha pres
ident, the reception committee and those ,
who were with the president resumed their
carriages and proceeded to the' Nashua
Junction station. The ovation to President
Roosevelt waa continuous and aa the train
drew out prolonged cheering followed.
Some at Home Have Erred.
MANCHESTER, N. H., Aug. 28. A presi
dential salute, mingled with a great crowd,
greeted the preaident aa hla train reached
here..
As many of tbe men on tha reception
committee here were personally known to
ths president, th exchangee ot courtesies
were unusually cordial.
Tbe preeldent waa driven about tha city
la a barouche drawn by four horses. On on
of tbe bridge th two lead horses became
unmanageable and had to ba taken out. An
other delay occurred when tbe procession
waa held up by a pssslng freight train. At
a point opposite Merrlmae common the
presldsnt's carriage waa brought to a atop
and the local camp of Spanish-American
war veterans tendered the president a
salute and their commander, Colonel Wil
liam Sullivan, stepped forward and pre- .
ented him with a bouquet of roses.
In accepting them the preaident epoke for
ten minutes, saying:
We hav heard a great deal ef criti
cism about what our people have don in
the Philippines. Those who went out there
were our brothers, friends, companions.
There was occasionally one of them who
did something wrong well, we are not all
of us Immaculate. (Laughter.) There Is
every reason why we should put a stop to
wrong doing and punish the wrong uoer,
be he soldier or civilian, and where it has
been possible to get at any soldier who did
wrong he ha been punUhed, but th fact
remains that you and those like you In
the Phllpplnes have written a new page
in the honor roll ot American history
and shams to us aa a nation if we don't
stand by you and appreciate what you
have done.
He was enthusiastically cbsered at tha
close ot hla remarks, following which the
line of inarch was taken up for the depot,
where tbe president boarded his special
train tor Tbe Welra.
