TALK OF ENVOY TO PANAMA 8tnat ia Executes Seuion Diiomiei Statu of W. I Buohanan. ACTION OF CLEVELAND A PRECEDENT Critical Democrats Are Ikons that Tkla la Not the Flrat Time Preal. deat Haa Seat Special Mlalater. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-In an executive session of the senate today the nomination of W. t. Buchanan to be minister Panama was discussed for more than two hours, the debate being confined almost en tirely to the constitutional right of the president to appoint a minister to the new republic without the co-operation of the senate. The point was raised by the demo erata that the position to which Mr. Buch anan was nominated was not In existence when the appointment was mada and that the president had no right to create the position except with the consent of the aenate. The democrats who supported this position were Senators Morgan. Bacon, Bailey, Pettua and Blackburn. The repub lican senators almost unanimously sup ported the .action of the president. They declared he acted wholly within his consti tutional Derogative. The principal speeches on that side of the question were made by Senators Zdge. Cullom, McComas, Spooner. Fairbanks and Allison. No derision was reached and it was agreed that the matter would be considered aguln on Monday. The status of Mr. Buchanan, who Is now at Panama, acting virtually aa minister of the United States, was discussed at con siderable length. Senators Bacon and Bailey In their speeches argued that the president either usurped the functions of the senate by dispatching a minister to Panama whose nomination had not been confirmed or had sent Mr. Buchanan there . aa an envoy or commissioner without color of law. They held that as the senate Is In session the president lawfully could not send a minister to a foreign country without the advice and consent of the senate. Senators Cullom, Ixdgs and Fairbanks took the posi tion that the president had a perfect right to nominate a minister to Panama, not withstanding the fact that no such office previously existed. They claimed, however, that Mr. Buchanan was not acting as a minister and that the president had not commissioned hlra aa such. lie was, they said, merely a personal representative of the president, dispatched to Panama on a dlplotnatlo mission and responsible alone to the president. A preoedent ofr this action waa cited In the case of Mr. Blount, who was sent to Hawaii by President ('levels nd and whose authority was paramount, not withstanding the fact that an American minister was at Honolulu exercising diplo matic functions.' The general current of the debate divided on party lines, though questions pro pounded by Senators Spooner snd Hey burn, both republicans, showed they en tertained so irs doubts aa to the legality "I Can't Go ! goch a terrible headache," need naveh b said aguln.

When the senate went Into executive session' word was passed about among the republicans that when the arguments were practically exhausted a motion should be made to table Senator Morgan's resolu tion to reconsider the nomination. A mo tion of that character is not debatable. Some of the arguments made by the demo crats, It is said, demanded thorough con sideration and the plans of the republi cans to conclude the debate were not car ried Into effect. ' Peculiar Swiss Laws. United States Consul Lleberkneoht at Zurich, Swltserland, calls the attention of students and others Intending to re main for any length of time In Switzer land to the necessity of providing them selves paspports. Many naturalised Ameri can cltisens return to Switzerland with out naturalisation papers or passports, only to find themselves Swiss cltisens again. The consul adds that no person loses his citizenship, no matter how long he may absent himself, unless he goes through certain necessary formalities. If he returns and Is owing a military tax he Is compelled to pay the same In spite of the fact that he Is an American citi zen. The only way to be cleared from all responsibilities Is by making a written re quest to his home community for such release, submrMIng proof at the same time that he has acquired American citi zenship. Would Establish Naval Canteen. The board appointed to consider plans for barracks for enlisted men for the navy recommends two bsrracks to cost $600,000 each, exclusive of the land, with general location at New York and on Chesapeake bay, hut with no specific recommendation as to location. The plan of barracks sub mitt 3d provides for separste office and administration buildings, separate dor mitories, mess hall, amusement rooms and other halls. An urgent recommendation Is made for the establishment of a canteen, the board bc'.levlng that there are cer tain wants of the men which must be satisfied, although with a strict super vision and limitation of the amount of light beverages Issued dally. INCREASES HOURS OF LABOR President's Cabinet Orders Half Hour Added to Time at Clerks. WASHINGTON, Jan. . Unanimous de cision wss reached by the cabinet today that the hours of labor for government em ployes shall be from a. m. until :30 p. m., a half hour of that time being allowed for luncheon. The new regulation will ap ply only to the executive departmenta and will go Into effect 'next Monday. Here tofore the departmental hours have been ftvm a. m. unUl 4 o'clock, with a halt hour for luncheon. The decision reached today affects not only the employes In Washington, but also those In the depart ments throughout the country. - Tha question was rslsed by the appro prlatlons committee of the house and senate on applications made to them by the heads of several departments for additional clerks. It wss pointed out by tne committee that the law distinctly provided that employee or me qeparimems should work seven hours a day. and that, under the present system, the government waa getting only six and a half hours of labor. The com' mltteea urged that as a matter of economy In the employment of additional assistance In the departments the present employes ought to be required to work full seven hours. The subject was considered carefully by the cabinet and the decision reached was aunounced. v Lots of Our $2250 Lots of Our S20 Lots of Our $18 Lots of Our 1650 Lots of Our SI5 MEN'S $2 COVERT COATS Blanket Lined at 98c Men's All Wool Odd Vests Mzes 34 to 38 at 49 Two Basement 25c Linen Cuffs at Thousands of men's linen cuffs round styles all sizes, worth a pair to clear them all away Saturday your choice, a pair 50c Men's and Boys' Shirts at 15c Ilere are 2,000 men's and boys' shirts broken lots of all our 50-cent colored shirts, also white laundered and unlaundered shirts, regular 50c values, at,. . , LIVE STOCK CONVENTIONS two Important Gatherings to Be Held in Portland Next Weak. WOOL GROWERS AND CATTLE PRODUCERS everal Nebraska Men Dovrn on the Programs for Addresses Loca tion May Cat Down Attendance, Two conventions of Interest to stock growers In all sections of the country will be held In Portland, Ore., next week. The first one, that of the National Wool Grow ers' association, which Is the thirty-ninth annual meeting, convenes on Monday, Janu ary 11, and lasts, two days. The other one Is the seventh annual convention of the National Live Btock association, which opens January 13 and closes on January 15. But while these meetings are of much Im portance to stockmen, present Indications are that they will not be as largely at tended as usual, not owing to a lack of Interest, but to the unfortunate choice of the convention city. The fact Is pointed out by live stock men that they will have to be away from their business at least two weeks In order to attend the convention and besides that the expense of taking so long a trip Is greater than most of them care to stand. It la undoubtedly tue that by far the majority of the stockmen live In the middle west and for that reason they think It no more than right that a city should be chosen more centrally located. Omaha, for example, Is within a night's ride of the homes of those who raise the bulk of the stock sold at the big markets. There Is no dlxputlng the fact that any of the cities In the central west are fully capable of caring for such conventions In a creditable manner and live stock men are hoping that the next conventions will be held In some more accesBable city. Some of the Important questions to come before the National Live Btock Growers' association are forest reserves, arid lands, packing house combines and transportation facilities. President Roosevelt, who recog nizes ths Importance of ascertaining the needs of stock growers as regards land and forest reserves, haa authorised the at tendance at this convention of Hon. Gilford Plnchot, chief forester of the United States, and Hon. F. 11. Newell, chief engineer of the department of geological survey. Both of them are members of the recently ap pointed land commission. Other prominent speakers on these subjects are Hon. Heber M. Wells of Utah, Dr. J. E. Etubbs of Nevada and Hon. Thomas Haley of Oregon. Among the Nebraskans who are down on the program are Hon. C. E. Adams, who will address the convention on Wednesday regarding the "Injurious FJTects of Packers' Combinations Upon the Growers and Feed ers of Live Stock." On Friday Chancellor E. Benjamin Andrews of the University of Nebraska will discuss the- question "Is the Production of Live Stock Keeping Pace With ths DeinandT" At the wool growers' convention the ques tion of forest reserves will also be a promi nent ' feature. The public land laws and needed amendments will be another fea ture. Captain D. 8. Parkhurst of South Omaha Is scheduled to read a paper on "Mutton Sheep as Viewed from the Leadlag Markets."
