GETTING TIRED OF OTHERS' BAD FAITH F.lertfon of Officer on Ksr-hanae T nay Aronses UlrrrM, as Two Tickets Arc la tne Field. The Bouth Omaha Mvc Stock exrhsnge la the only exchange In the country that has adopted all of the recommendations made at the Fort Worth convention and la enforcing; the same. This rule of the local exchange calls In all traveling toll cltors, prohibits the sending of prepaid market telegrams and telephone messages and also prevents members of the exchange from giving free meals to shippers and helpers. The local exchange, however, per mits Its members to Invite shippers to din ner If they so desire, but no other meals are to be furnished free. At the other exchanges so many altera tions were made in the Fort Worth recom mendations thst considerable latitude In given. Some of the exchanges adopted the new rules conditionally; the conditions be ing that all other exchanges adopt and carry out the same rules. St. Joseph and Bloux City have rot taken final action as yet. Chicago and St. Louts go at the mat ter conditionally. In speaking of this matter yesterday one ef the prominent officers of, the exchange aid that South Omaha was living up to the new rules and that ro change would be made until the present rules were re considered. ' "If It Is found," said this member, "that the other exchanges do not Intend to fol low out the Intent of the Fort Worth re commendations the matter doubtless will be called to the attention of the members and a reconsideration of the action made. With St. Joe a competitor for trade In this terri tory and no rules governing the sending out of solicitors, telegrams and the giving ef free n.eals. It can easily be seen that the South Omaha market will suffer. We are willing to meet all exchanges on an cquaJ basts and compete for business, but Just now we are handicapped by being the only exchange which has adopted the rules and placed them In effect." Commlbslon dealers say that while the rules are In effect they propose living ud I 1 1 V0 them. By the change each firm will save f large amount of money each year. ' "It la business wo are after." remarked a live stock dealer, "and we propose to get stock to this market. If the rules do not suit a vote of the members will altpr the present conditions. This probably will be done Just as soon as we are convinced that the other exchanges do not comply with all of the new rules. There will be no half-way play about this business. By a united effort the principal markets cun make the changes suggested, but without concord, no good ran be accomplished." The election of officers at the exchange today will occupy the attention of the members to some extent, r.s two tickets are In the field. The voting booth at the exchange opens at 10 a. m. and closes at 4 p. m. The result will be announced about B o'clock. Temple Association statement.

Dr. Lyon's PERFECT Tooih Powder AN ELEGANT TOILET LUXURY Used by people of refinement -tor over a Quarter of a oentury GOSSIP ON COMMISSION ROW f'ostomer Invades the Silent Prerlarts an Dispels Hew Tear's Lethargy. The fruits and vegetables In commission row were startled yesterday by a sound which was distinctly audible In the oppres sive silence and desertion. It we a cus tomer. Since the New Tear's buying the market has been putting up a very good Imitation of Kip Van Winkle during the third year of his nap. W'hlle nobody was around to notice It the apples and the oranges rubbed out the old figures on the slate und chalked up 5 and 10 or 15-cont advances respectively. The arples do not make any more now. It Is simply that they are coming from cold storage and the extra half-dollar pays the Ice man. The price In the east where they came from has gone up from 25 to 75 cents a barrel. The foreign demand Is the res son. Were It not for that apples would be down In price now. Poor old Liverpool reports there were only 1.4M barrels on the market last Monday and the tone of the market Is considerably Improved. In Lon don, "don'crer know," Baldwins and Rus setts are going for 15 or 17 shillings other wise 14.25. The oranges are feeling better they cer tainly are tasting better. The rubber quality of the fiber has practically disap peared with experience. The market suf fered with a glut from Thanksgiving on. Now this has been changed. The Florl dns are practically cleaned up, the northern California crop has been put out of the way and the southerners have the market to themselves. The Orange Blossom says of the year"a crop of debutantes: "The absence of rain probably is the chief reason for such elegant, smooth tex ture and good flavor that navals posses this year. However, It Is well to bear In mind that the fruit has not Increased In size as usual and the crop Is bound to be reduced 8 or 10 per cent of what It would have been If we had had early rains. The way things look, there need not be any fear this year of "too large a crop." About the only green things on the mar ket now are brussels sprouts and hot house cucumbers. STEALS AND PAWNS DRESSES Colored Youth Confesses When Con fronted by Broker Who Holds Woman's Garments. 15. T. Golden, a colored youth with' pro pensities which the police say will eventu ally land him behind stone walls, was picked up at Twenty-eighth and Cuming streets by Detectives Drummy and Ma loney as a suspicious character. On arriv ing at the station It was found that the suspicions entertulned by the officers were well founded, for Golden had not been more than locked In before Betty Scott came In and charged him with stealing two silk dresses from her room at 1328 Howard street and allcgtd that he pawned the same. Miss Bcott placed a $65 valua tion on her property and said that Oolden had raised S6 on It at a pawn shop on South Tenth street. John Corby, the pawnbroker, was sent for and positively Identified Oolden as the man who had taken the garments to his place of business Bun- day night, representing that he was doing business for a woman friend temporarily embarrassed. On being confronted by Corby Oolden confessed the theft and la being held pending the filing of a complaint compatible with the gravity of his offense. Be tnlok.

How she can hold a pole on her fingers and without any apparent physical effort prevent five men from pushing -ft to the floor, and other like feats, Is a mystery for the wise ones to solve'. Nothing more sensational Is seen on th stsge than the ride of Cigarette up the side of Chula gorge, In making her escape from a band of Bedouins during a desert sand storm, as depicted In "Under Two Flags," now being presented at the Boyd theater. Miss Jane Kennark Is a graceful actress and a splendid horsewoman, and her nightly ride Is a genuine, triumph for re alistic acting, In every way the Incidents of the play are thrilling, but natural, and the production Is one of the finest ever seen In Omaha.

This Is the fifth successful season for this organi sation on the road, which Is evidence enough thst It is all it ts claimed to be a musical farce-coir edy. pure and simple, with plenty of specialties, up-to-date mu sical numbers, electrical and mechanical effects and a chorus of twenty well trained voices. MESSAGE ON CANAL TREATY President Roosevelt Trttts the Question in All oflu Varied Pbsiei. UNITED STATES MUST CONTROL CANAL Details of Negotiations with Colombia and Rejection of Reasonable ' and Jost Proposition Is Recited. (Continued from Fifth Page.) that the recognition of the Republic of Panama was an act Justified by tne Inter ests of collective civilization. If ever a government could be said to have received a mandate from civilisation to effect an object the accomplishment of which was demanded In the interest of mankind, the UDlled States holds tnat position witn re gard to the Interoceanlo canal. Since our purpose to build the canal was definitely announced, there have come from all quar ters assurances of approval and encour agement, in which even Colombia herself at one time participated; and to general assurances were added specific acts anil declarations, in order that no obstacle might stand In our way. Great Britain re nounced Important rights under the Clay-ton-Bulwer treaty and agreed to Its abro gation, receiving in return nothing but our honorable pledge to build the canal and protect it as an open highway. It was la view of thin pledge, and of the. proposed enactment by the congress of the United States of legislation to give It immediate effect, that the second Pan-American con ference, at the City of Mexico, on January 22, 1902, adopted the following resolution: Pan-Americana Annland. "The republics assembled at the inter national conference of Mexico applaud the purpose of the United States government to construct an interoceanlo canal, and ac knowledge that this work will not only be worthy of the greatness of the American people, but also in the highest sense a work of civilisation, and to the greatest degree beneficial to the development of com merce Deiween tne American states and the other countries of the world." Among those who signed this resolution on behalf of their respective governments was General Reyes, the delegate of Colom bia. Little could It have been foreseen that two years later the Colornjuan govern ment, led astray by false allurements of selfish advantage, and forgetful alike of its International obligations and of the duties and responsibilities of sovereignty, would thwart the efforts of the United titates to enter upon and complete a work which the nations of America, re-echoing the senti ment of the nations of Europe, had pro nounced to be not only "worthy of the greatness of the American people," but also "in the highest sense a Work of civili sation." That our position as the mandatary of civilisation haa been by no means miscon ceived Is shown by the promptitude with which the powers have, one ater another, followed our lead In recognizing Panama as an Independent state. Our action in rec ognising the new republic haa been followed by like recognition on the part of France, Oermany, Denmark, Russia, Sweden and Norway, Nicaragua,' Peru, China, Cuba, Great Britain, Italy, Coeta Rica, Japan, and Austria-Hungary, In view of the manifold confederations of treaty rights and obligation, of national Interest and Bafety, and of collective civil isation, by which our government was con strained to act, I am at a loss to compre hend the attitude of those who ran dis cern In the recognition of the Republio of Panama only a general approval of the principle of "revolution" by which a given government Is overturned or one portion of a country separated from another. Only the amplest Justification can warrant a revolutionary movement of either kind. But there la no fixed rule which can be applied to all such movements. Each esse must be iudgerd on its own merits. There have een many revolutionary movements, many movements for the dismemberment of countries, which were evil, tried bv sny standard. Put In my opinion no disinter ested and fair-minded observer acquainted with the clrcumstsno.es can fall to feel that Panama, had the amplest justification for separation from Colombia under thj conditions existing, and, moreover, that its action was in the hlgheet degree beneficial to the Interests of the entire civilized world by securing the Immediate opportunity for the building of the Interoceanlo canal. . . Cnbn as Parallel, u.. , It would be well for those who are pessi mistic aa to our action In peacefully recog nising the Republio of Panama, while we lawfully protected the transit from Inva sion and disturbance, to recall what hus been done In Cuba, where we Intervened even by rorce on general grounds of nation al interest and duty. When we Interfered It was freely prophesied thst we Intended to keep Cuba and administer It for our own Interests. The result haa demon strated In singularly conclusive fashion the falsity of these prophecies. Cuba is now an Independent republic. We governed It in Its own interests for a few years, till It was able to stand alone, nnd then started It upon Its career of self-government and Indupundenoe, granting it ail necessary aid. We have received from CiiVa a .rant WA nval stations, so situated that they In no r , . . menace tne n Deny or tne Island, and yet serve ss important de fenses fur the Cubau people, as well as for our own neonl. aruinx nm.ihi. for eign attack. The people of Cuba have been luimeaauraniy Denented by our Interference In their behalf, and our own gain has been greet. So will It be with Panama. The people of the Ijthmus, and as I firmly be. J!v of the aJJaotnt parts of Central nnd South America, will be greatly benefited by the building of the canal and the guaran tee pf peace and order along Its line; and hand In hand with the benelit to them will go the benefit to us snd to mankind. By pur prompt and decisive action, not only have our Interests and those of the world at large been conserved, but we have fore stalled complications which were likely to be fruitful In loss to ourselves, and In bloodshed and suffering to the people of the Isthmus. Instead of using our forces, as we were Invited by Colombia to do, for the two fold purpose of defeating our own lights and Interests and the Interests of the civ ilised world, and of compelling the sub mission of the people of the Isthmus to thos whom they regarded as oppressors, we shall, aa In duty bound, eep the tran sit open and prevent Its Invasion. Mean while, the only question now before us Is that of the ratification of the treaty. For It Is to be remembered that a failure to ratify the treaty will not undo what has been done, will not restore Panama to Co lombia, and will not alter our obligation to keep the transit open across the Isth mus, and to prevent any outside power from menacing this transit. Treaty Obllgratloae Remain. It seems to have been assumed In certain quarters that the proposition that the obli gations of article 86 of the treaty of 146 are to be considered aa adh.rlng to and following the sovereignty of the isthmus, so long as that sovereignty Is not absorbed by the United B tales, reHU upon some novel theory. No assumption could be fur ther from tne fact. It is by no mans true that a stats In declaring its Independence rids Itself of all the truaty obligations en tered Into by the parent government. It la a mere coincidence that this question was once rained In a case involving the Obligations of Colombia as an Independent state under a treaty which Spain hid made with the United Statea many years before Spanish-American Independence, in that case Mr. John Qulncy Adams, secre tary of state. In an Instruction to Mr. An deraon, our mlulstsr to Colombia, of May 17. U23, said: ''By a treaty between the United 8tatea and Bpaln, concluded at a time when Co lombia was a part of the Spanish dominions the prlnclpU that free ships make free roods was expresMly recognised and established. It Is asserted that by her declaration of Independence Colombia has been entirely released from all the obliga tions by which, as a part of the Spanish nation, she was bound to other nstlons. This principle is not tensble. To all the engagements of Spain with other nations, affecting their rights and Interval Colom bia, so far aa shs waa affected b'v them, remains bound In honor and In Justice. The stipulation now referred to la of that char acter." The principle thus asserted by Mr. Ad ams was afterwards sustained by an In ternational commission In respect to the precise stipulation to which he referred; and a similar position wss taken by the United Slates with regard to the binding obligation upon the Independent state of Texas of commercial stipulations embodied In prior treaties between the United States and Mexico when Texas formed a part of the latter country. But in the present case It Is unnecessary to go so fur. Even if H be admitted that prior treaties of a political and commercial romnlt-xlon generally - do not bind a new state formed hy separation, it Is undeniable that stipulations having a local application to the territory embraced In the new slate continue In force snd are blading unou the new sovereign. Thus it Is en all hands conceded that treaties re lating to boundaries srj to rlehts of navi gation continue In force without regard to changes In government or In "nverelgnty. Tills principle ohviouslv seniles to that mart of the treeiv of 1S46 which relates to Us Isthmus of Penama. In conclusion lei fa repeat thst " the nuestlon actuallv before ihia gnvrrkment Is not tht of the recosnirlon f Panama as an Independent republic That Is al- t .n . . , -It I . 1L ready an accomplished fact. The nuestlon, and the tmly question, U whether or nut we shall hulld sn Isthmian canal.
