THEATER MANAGERS ASK LEAVE TO OPEN AGAIN They Request Permission to Use Only the Lower Floors of Their Play | Houses, After Strictly Complying With the Law. CHICAGO, ‘Jan. 4.—Notice closing, not merely of theaters, churches, stores, office buildings,. factories, hotels and private residences has aroused the city. Representatives of the theater, managers of the city will appear before the City Council tonight and ask permission to open the various playhouses in order to give employment to the 16.000 men and women who, by the sudden closing, are thrown out of employment. and, who, in many instances, are left comparatively des- titute. The plan includes the opening of only the lower floor of the theaters, however, rices to be graduated from 25 to cents $1 to $1.50. Beforcł the mayor proceeds to enforce the wholesale cloring order the City Coun- cll will be given a chance to revise the laws and strike out provisions which are Considered unjust to property owners and bot essential to safety. The council once deciding or not deciding do net, then the laws are to be enforced. As the ordinances stand at present, strict enfircement, it is stated, would paralyze the business, professional and industrial in- terests of the city. For that reason Mr. Harrison will give the council the oppor- tunity of acting. immediate effect of the mayor's dec- n will be revision of the laws.

Then the council may find it advisable to repeal the ordinances providing “Yor fire escapes on private residences of four or gnore stories in height. Churches are mentioned as fenders against the building laws. They are accused of overcrowding, of placing re in the aisles. of having inflammable material on the platforms, especially at uch celebrations as Christmas, and the Some congregations, it is said, worship in Dulldings which would be condemned as Jagrant of- firetraps if used for large gatherings of- people for any other purpose. The aldermen are found considerably averse at this time to the striking out of any clauses which provide for the safety of occupants, but a number of the require- ments are held to be unnecessary, and these may be eliminated.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—The President today sent to the Senate the‘ nomination of Willlam M. Taft of Ohio to be secre- tary of war. The President also mominated Luke E. Wright of Tennessee to be c! vil governor of the Philippine Islands, and Henry C. Ide of Vermont to de vice- civil governor of the Philippine Islands. TOKIO, Japan, Jan. 4.~Gov. Taft of the Philippine Islands arrived here today, and was officially welcomed. He will re- main three days. United States Minister Griscom will give him a dinner and re- cepUon, and the Emperor and Empress Will give a private audience and luncheon. The distinguished visitor also will de en- tertalned at dinners by the war minister and the minister for foreign affairs. The antithesis in al!

Taft resigned from the bench to accept th chairmanship af the Philippines commission. He signalized his arrival in the islands by dancing at a public ball in his honor. It was a Spanish dunes, and he made no mistakes. The: Filipinos were delighted. Part of their emotion may have been due to the fact that the governor weighed 207 pounds. It was an indication of the spirit with which he entered upon his work. He wished to know the Filipinos, their desires and ambitions and the reasons of thelr antagonism te the United States. His investigation led him to the conclusion that the presence of American troops formed a constant source of irritation. He promptly became involved in a controversy with Gen, Chaffee, then commanding general in the islands, by aski the withdrawal of troops from provinces that Chaffee thought had not been sufficiently tamed. Chaffee protested to Wash- ington that the country was being turned over to the enemy and the advantages gained by force of arms were being diesipated’ by the civil govern- ment. The irate general was told that Taft must arrange their difficulties themselves. After that there was no more friction, for they compromised. It has always been known that Taft arded the occupation of the Philippines as a mistake. But from the beginning he held that, while the possession of the islands would prove costly in blood and money to the United States, it should be beneficial to the Filipinos. If anything were to be done with the islands by this government it must be in the way of bringing a condition of civiftzation and liberty from oppression to a peo taught by tyranny to hate authority and Fad lack of opportunity to avold attempts at This was Taft's conception of nis — ‘fn the Phillippines. The climate preyed upon his health, but he fema at his post. Friends and rela- tives urged him to resign, but he pointed to the work he bad undertaken and declared that only death could prevent its conclusion. COLD WAVE OVER; WARMER Steady Rise of Temperature Looked For—Government Thermometer Registered 4 Below Sunday. The weather bureau's spyglass finds that the intense cold wave which began Satur- day and reached Ms climax Sunday morn- ing is passing. A minimum temperature of 10 degrees at 1 o'clock Monday morning. was followed by a steady rise until 7 o'clock, when there was a drop of 1 degree and a continuance of the rise. At 11 o’clock the ther- mome ter. aided the sun, registered 18 degrees. The of- ficial prediction is: “Partly cloudy Monday night and Tuesday ; warmer Tuesday; light to fresh variabie winds. Minimum temperature Mon- day night, about 20/ degrees. Sunday morning. minimum was, officially, zero at 8 o'clock; but Mr. Bowie, the official forecaster, says the government thermometer hié resi- dence, 4700 Cook avenue, showed 4 degrees below zero M the same hour. Thus the prediction of a minimum of “6 or 10 degrees below zero” was almost correctas the prediction did not name the exact spot where the low temperature was to be, re- corded.

TTER FROM GOVERNOR TELLS HER OF SUCCESS Her to Penitentiary and Given to Man Whom She Had Not Seen Since Early Childhood. Sympathy for a convict’s widowed mother impelled Miss Loretta Morrissey, 20 years old. a telephone operator at tae courthouse, to attempt unaided to secure the pardon of Joseph Malone, sent to the Missouri penitentiary in 1900 under a 10 years’ sentence for complicity in the killing of Charles De Temple. Monday morning her efforts. were re- warded by a personal letter from Gov. A. M. Dockery informing her that Malone would be pardoned March 23 and released from the penitentiary. Miss Morrissey never saw Malone from the time she was a baby until after she had ‘presented her plea in hig behalf to Gov. Dockery. Then she visited him in the penitentiary and told him what she had done) Malone is 42 years old. His mother, Mrs. Martha Malone, had lived for years in.a house owned by Miss Morrissey’s father. The girl often visited her, and her pitiful life after the son was sent to the penitentiary aroused the girl's sympathy. She circulated @ petition prepared by herself. among the officials and organiza- tions. yan A signers were Excise Commis- sioner rt and Chief of 4 —4 Kiely. Miss Morrissey called on all herself.

The discovery of the plot of the massacre, and the prompt and direct con- veyance of the information to the Czar. taken by the Post-Dispatch and the World, was highly commendable, and should re- ceive the praise of everyone. It was a great work. AN EXCELLENT WORK. J. D. GOLDMAN: The work of the Post- Dispatch and the New York World in first discovering the-danger of a repetition of the Kishineff massacre and then taking the matter up direct with the Czar is worthy of the highest praise. It was an excellent work. The discovery of the plot awakened the world to the cruelty of the proposed massacre, bringing the news of it to the attention of the Czar itself doubtless had rent effect in arousing him to the world's wonder and indignation that such a deed of mood coul be contemplated, and aroused him to the litical necessity if not the humane necessity, for stopping it. It was, I reneat, a great work. SURPASSED THE GOVERNMENT. CHARLES L. SWARTS, vice-president ef the Columbian Club: “I am glad to see the great work which the Post-Dis- patch and the New York World have ac- complished in 8 the assurance of the Czar of Russia that there will be no repeti- tien of the Kishineff massacres, In this matter these two papers have accomplished more than has the United States govern- ment itself.

SA DU $1000 City Counselor Bates Holds That He Is Entitled to $4000 a Year. (ity Counselor Bates Monday afternoon transmitted to Mayor Wells his opinion as te the amount of salary which, under the law, Circuit Attorney Folk is entitled to re- ceive from the city. | Mr. Bates finds that he should receive $4000 per year. Prior to November, 1903. Mr. Folk was being paid by the city treasurer at the rate of $5000 per year. A question arose At that time as to what the amount should be and City Auditor Dierkes asked for Mr. Bates’ opinion. During the two months intervening Mr. Folk has drawn no salary, pending a de- cision. More than a month ago the Post-Dis- patch announced that Mr. Bates had some to the conclusion that Mr. Folk was en- tiled to only $4600 per year. Since then Mr. Folk has* submitted au- thorities to support his contention that,the amount legally is $6000. The question as to the amount arose from he construction of a statute passed in 1901, tali the salary of the circuit at- torne) Benj. Sehnurmacher, then city counselor, decided that the aet merely grouped three salaries to which the circuit attorney was entitled and therefore did not raise his salary. Under this decision Mr. Folk, in March, 1971, began drawing salary at the $5000 rate. The question arose a few months ago as to whether the action of the city in paying Mr. Folk $6000 r annum was not contrary to, the charter provision that the salary of no elective &fficial shall be in- creased during his term of office. Mr. Bates’ opinion sustains this point. — —̃ ñLU᷑ä Veterans for Pell-Bearers. Members of Ransom Post. G. A.

This catastrophe also raises the question whether the whole business of amusement is not greatly overdone. Time was when theaters were open in the evenibg only; then came the weekend afternoon per- formance, but now there are some shows that run wide open from morning until late at nfght, as though theatergoing were the supreme end of life. Sunday also is en- croached upon, particularly in Chicago. And, apurt from the peril to life, there is this question confronting parents, whether it is advisable to develop the taste for — 2 in such young children as perished in.the Chicago fire. “And why should afflictions be needed to convince us that evaded as well as violated luw always entails retribution? With the acuteness of the twentieth cen- tury, man distinguishes between the two acts, and if we can successfully walk around a law we congratulate ourselves and never dream of evil consequences, but when it is shown that theater managers do as the rest do and fail th comply with provisions for the safety of the public we are indignant. ‘The sinners.’ we angrily exclaim, they are evading the law and ought to be punished.’ But ff everyone in America who evades the law was to be punished, | fear there would not be found a sufficient number of. innocent persons in the land to execute the sentente.” — TO CLOSE ALL HALLS THAT DON T PROPERLY GUARD LIFE.

The correspondent says: “The Japanese are quite determined, and several days ago took steps to secure cer- tain of their Corean interests. Russia will not be allowed to occupy Corean ports, and certainly neither Mokpho nor Mazampho, both of these ports being protected against seizure. Japan means business without waiting for the convenience of others. If Russia feels aggrieved, a fortnight should show the ex- tent to which she will venture. The inter- est should begin to center nearer than’ Tokio within ten days, but. the naval overture may retard the peace. “It is thought, despite her bluster, that Russia will take no immediate prevent Japan doing what she thinks proper to safeguard her interests in Corea.” : 7 The foregoing probably refers to the dis- patch of the squadron to Masampho. Ad- miral Kumimuras' squadron consists of the armored cruisers Asama, Tokiwa, Adzuma. Idzume, Iwate and Yakumo, all with a speed of from 20 to 233 knots. According / to the Standagd’s Tokio cor- respondent, Japan, at the end of December, notified the powers and the United States of the actual position of the negotiations, at the same time intimating that ‘the con- tinuefi occupation of Manchuria might com- pel Japan to take decisive steps for the protection of her.vital interests in Corea. * AMERICAN MARINES AT COREAN PORT.

Wehmeyer, a cierk in the grocery gtore of Rossi & Co., 1600 Pine street, at the point of a revolver at 6 o'clock Monday morning, searched the store and cash register vainly for money, and then took $39 from Weh- meyer. ' Later in the day George Brennan was arrested and identified by Wehmeyer as one of the men. Brénnan was found in a saloon on Chestnut street, near Nineteenth street. Wehmeyer stopped ‘in this saloon while on his way to open the store. He says he no- ticed three men there, but paid no especial attention to them. While he was in the store the same three men entered. Each wore dark clothes and a black slouch hat. All were between 19 and 21 years old. Wehmeyer supposed they were customers, and, walking behind the counter, met them near the middle of the store. ‘Throw up your hands,“ said one of the men, and Wehmeyer found a revolver at his head. The other two men conducted the search through the store, and then re- turned to Wehmeyer, from whom they took the money. Wehmeyer says he can identify the other men, as he had a good look at all of them. 2 6 aa 4 a . * 4 1 5 +"; > oe 8. 5 7 1 3 ; * 1 N 2 at * J . er 4 2 * * 2 * * 8 4 are 2 > 1 > * * ‘ i - - 4 : P ae 3 D- 2s ; — 14 * + & gf * 1 1 * > § 3 * N * ; 3 f 0 2 N 7 * — 1 7 7 — — ow at on ene wabl> .

It was Further provided that should the Pres- Ment be unable to obtain for the Unt ted \ Statep a satisfactory title to the property ‘of the new Panama Canal Co. and the control of the necessary territory of the republic of Colombia * » within a rea- = S6nable time and upon reisonable terms. * then the President“ should. endeavor to > provide for a canal by the Nicaragua route. 7 The language quoted defines with exactness what as a matter of fact has been done. = = i Md The President Explains and Justifies th® Course of His Administration in Relation to Isthmian Revolution and Declares That Injurious : The President was authorized to go to the * eyo un route only if within a reasonable 9?°"dins to the pecuniary demands of Co- he “ould not obtain “control of the territory of the republic of Co- This control has now been Ob- * lombia.“ ) complied with; it is no longer possible un- Ader existing legislation to gd to the Nicara- ’ Buea route as an alternative. This act marked the climax of the effort on the part of the United States to secure. _ #0 far as legislation was concerned, an la- | teroceanic canal across the isthmus. The § effort to secure a treaty for this purpose with one of the Central American repub- any ordinary conditions. J “SECRETARY CASS LAID | DOWN THE PRINCIPLE. ‘The proper position for the United States ' with the effort to secure a treaty under 4 therefore to the governments of the isth- a . mus, had been clearly set forth by Sec- | retary Cass in 1858. In my annual message a have already quoted what Secretary Cass said; but I repeat the quotation here, be- cause the principle it states ig fundamen- While the rights of sovereignty of the States occupying this on (Central America) should always respected, we shall expect that these rights be in a spirit befitting the occa- and the wants and circumstances have arisen.

In 1889, when France pro- to come to the ald of the French Co. by guaranteetng their bonds, "the Senate of the United States in execu-| session, with only some three votes ong passed a resolution as follows: | at the government. ot the United States will look with sertous concern and N upon any connection of any European government with the construction or control of any go ip canal across the Isthmus: of jen or across Central America. ae must regard any such connection i control as injurious to the — > ~ Tights and interests of the United tes and as a menace to their wel- nder the Hay-Pauncefote treaty it was | itly provided that the United States Md control, police, and protect the ca- which was to be built, keeping it open ' the vessels of all nations on equal The United States thus assumed “the position of guarantor of the canal and Yor ite peaceful use by all the world.

While it was settled that the canal should be built without unnecessary or im- proper delay, it was no less clearly shown to be our purpose to deal not merely in a spirit of justice but in a spirit of generosity with the people through whose land we might build it. The Hay-Herran treaty, if it erred at all, erred in the direction of an over-generosity towards the Colombian government. In our anxiety to be fair we had gone to_the very verge of yielding to a weak nation’s demands what that nation was helplessly unable to enforce from us against our will. The only criticisms made upon the administration for the terms of the Hay-Herran treaty were for having granted too much to Colombia, not for ‘fail- ure to grant enough. Neither in the Con- gress nor in the public press, at the time that this treaty was formulated, was thefe complaint that it did not in the fullest and amplest manner guarantee to Colombia everything that she could of title demand. Nor is the fact to be lost sight of that the rejected treaty, while generously re- lombia, in other respects merely provided ior tne construction or the canal in con- formily with the express requirements of ihe act of the Congress of June . 1804. By that act, as here.oiove quotea, the f res- dent was authorizea to acquire®from Co- iombia, tor the purpose ot tae canal, per- petuai control’ of a certain strip of land; and it was expressly reqguirea mat the control thus o be obla.seu snguid m- clude ‘jurisdiction’ to make police and Salitary regulations and to estabiien such judicial tribunals as might be agreed on for their entorcement. “hese were cQudiuons precedent prescribed by the Congress; and for their fulfillment suitable stipulations were embodied in the treaty. It has been Stuted in public prints that Colombia ob- jected to these stipulations, on the ground that they involved a relinquishment of her ‘sovereignty; but in the light of what has taken place, this alleged objection must be odnsidered as an a(terthovght. In reality, | the treaty, instead of requiring a cession of Colombia's sovereignty over the canal strip, expressiy acknowledged, confirmed, and preserved her sovereignty over it. The treaty in this respect simply proceeded on the lines on which all the aegotiatfons lead- ing up to the present situation have been ecnducted. In those negotiations the ex- reise by the United States, subject to the paramount rights of the local sovereign, of a substantial control over the canal and the immediately adjacent territory, has been treated as a fundamental part of any arrangement that might be made. It has formed an essential 1eature of all our lans, and its necessity is fully recognized n the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The Con- 2 in providing that such contro! should secured, adopted no new principle, but only incorporated in its legislation a con- dition the importance and ‘propriety of which were universally recognized. ur- ing all the years of negotiations and dis- ay-llerran treaty, Colombia never. inti- ated that the requirement by the United States of control over the canal strip would render unattainable the construction of a canal by way of the Isthmus of Pan- ama; nor were we advised, during the months when legislation of 1902 was pend- ing before the Congress, that the terms which ft embodied would render negotia- tions with Colombia impracticable. It ts plain that no nation could construct and guarantee the neutrality of the canal with a less degree of control than was stipulated for in the Hay-Herran treaty. A refusal to grant such decree of control was neces- saril a refusal to make any practicable treaty at all. Such refusal therefore squarely raised the 2 whether Co- lombia was entitled to Bar the transit of the world’s traffic across the isthmus. That the cana! itself was eagerly demand- ed by the people of the locality through which it was to pass, and that the peo le of this locality no less eagerly longed for ite constru@tion under Ama can control, are shown by the unanimity of action in the new Panama republic. Furthermore, Colombia, after having rejected the treaty in spite of our protests and-warnings when it was in her power to accept it. has since shown the utmost eagerness to accept the same treaty if only the status quo could be rest ne of the men standing highest the officia!l Circles of Colombia, on Nov. addressed the American minister at Bogota, saying that if the government of the Unit Siates would land ‘troo to preserve Colombian so@ereignty an the transit, the Colombian government would “dedlare martial law; a y virtue of, vested constitutional authority when public order is disturbed, (would) approve by de- eree the ratification of the canal treaty, as signed; or, if the government of the United States prefers, (would) call extra session of the Congress—with new and friendly memberse—next May to approve the treaty.

But, like the principle from which it is deduced, the rule is subject to exceptions; and there are in my opinion clear and imperative reasons why a departure from it was justified and pe eae ha ty’ ap ee 2 es a * „„ ee a | "Oo sre ie 140 2 4" * * 25 : the newspapers and kept up a current any similar ease—the people of Panama treaty rights; second, our national in- „C f 2 “ aT. 85 Lal yu ss : * — 8 * 1 . * i ae 7 1 Dey 8 a * * r re ; 2 ae i : a ne ae wt 2 * » ne : n > 1 : 1 + to the injurious insinuations which have been made of complicity by this government in the revolutionary movement in Panama.

I have already adverted to the treat of 1846, by the thirty-fifth article of w the United States secured the right hich free and open transit across the Isthmus of Panama, and to that end agreed to guaran- tee to New Granada her rights of sov- ereignty and property over t This article is sometimes discu object supposition. ancestors, with all their remanant of the orginal republic of treaty was made the United States and that this vernment of Colombia, but it is rue that the United States in intervening, with or without Colombia's consent, protection of the transit, h any duty to defend the Colomman ment against domestic against the erection of an government on the Isthmus of Panama. REAL PURPOSE OF THE TREATY. The attacks against which the United States engaged to protect New Granadian sovereignty were those of foreign powers; but this engagement was only 4 means to the accomplishment of a yet more import- ant end. The great design of the asticle was to assure the dedication of the isthmus to the purposes of free and unobstructed interoceanic transit, the consummation of which 98 be found in an interoceanic canal. To @ accomplishment of this ob- ect the government of the United States ad for years directed its diplomacy. It oc- cupied a place in the instructions to our delegates to the Panama Congress during the administration of John Quincy Adams. It formed the subject of a resolution of the Senate in 1835, and of the House of Repre- sentatives in 1839. In 1846 its importance had become still more apparent by reason t the Mexican war. If the treaty of 1846 d not in terms bind New Granada to grant reasonable concessions for the con- structions of means of interoceanic commu- nication, it was only because it was not imagined that such concessions would ever be withheld. As it was expressly agreed that the United States. in consideration of its onerous guarantee of New Granadian sovereignty, should — the right ot free and open transit on any modes of communication that might be constructed the obvious intent of the treaty rendered it unnecessary, if not superfluous, in terms se . — rr for the con- strection of such modes of communicatio should not be denied. N Long before the _ concl Hay-Herran treaty the courſe of events had shown that a canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans must be built by the United States or not at all. Experience had demonstrated that private enterprise was utterly inade- quate for the purpose; and a fixed pol- icy, declared by the United States on many memorable occasions, and sup- ported by the practically ywnanimous voice of American opinion, had rendered it morally impossible that the work should be undertaken by European pow- ers, either ngly or in combination. Such were e universally recognized conditions on which the legislation of the Congress was based, and on which the late negotiations with Colombia were begun and concluded. Neverthe- less, when the well-considered agree- ment was rejected by Colombia and the revolution on the isthmus ensued, one of Colombia's. first acts was to invoke the intervention of the United States; nor does her invitation appear to have been confined to this government alone. By a telegram from Mr. Beaupre, our minister at Bogota, of the 7th of No- vember last, we were informed that Gen. Reyes would soon leave Panama invested with full powers; that he had telegraphed the President of Mexico to ask the government of the United States and all countries represented at the Pan-American conference to aid Colombia to preserve her integrity’; and that he had requested that the gov- ernment of the United States should meanwhile “preserve the neutrality and transit of the isthmus” and should “not recognize the new government.” In another telegram from Mr. Beaupre, which was sent later in the day, his government was asked whether it would take action “to maintain Colom- bian right and sovereignty on the isth- mus in aceordance with article 35 (of) the treaty. of 1846" in case the Colom- bian government should be “entirely un- able to suppress the secession move- ment there.” Here was a 4irect solicitation to the United States to intervene for the pur- pose of suppressing, contrary to the treaty of 1846 as this government has uniformly construed it, a new revolt 1 Colombia’s authority brought about by her own refusal to permit the fulfillment of the great design for which that treaty was made It was under these circumstances that the United fon of the | States, instead of using its forces to de- stroy those who sought to make the en- gagements of the treaty a reality, rec- ognied them the proper custodians of the sovereignty of the Isthmus. JUSTIFIED BY NATIONAL INTERESTS. This recognition was in the second place, further justified by the highest considera- tions of our national interests and safety. In all the range of our international rela- tions, I do not hesitate to affirm that there al Long ac be essential to wor co ment, it has become, ag the result of the recent extension of our territorial domin- lon, more than ever essentiai to our nation- al self-defense. In transmitting to the Benate the treaty of 184, Presi t Polk pointed out as the principal reason for its ratification that th of the isth- The have given to a 5 19 * 4 = = * 17 , ¢ . : greet pest & n 8 1 a * . a ** P d 2 a * * * kept up 4 current acquaintance with ic affairs. people, A un in any Ami- lared independent republic.

I have not denied, nor do I wish to deny, either the validity or the of the general ee ee a new But, Uke the principle from rule is subject te opinion rative reasons why a de- parture from it was justified and even re- quired in the present instance. These rea- sons embrace, first, our treaty rights: sec- safety; and, third, the interests of collective civ- t terrtory. as if the latter guarantee constituted its sole and bound the United States to protect the sovereignty of New Granada against domestic revolution. Nothing, how- éver, could be more erroneous than this That our wise and patriotic dread of. en- tangling alliarices, would have entered into a — With New Granada solely or even primarily for the purpose of 8 that olom- bia, then resolved into the states of New Granada, Venezuela and Ecuador, to con- tinue from Bogota to rule over the Isthmus of Panama, is a conception that would in itself be incredfble, even if the contrary did not clearly appear. It is true that since the has n and again been obliged forcibly to intervene for the preservation of order and the maintenance of an open transit, Intervention has usually operated to the advanta¢e of the titular equally for the disclaimed overn- insurrection or independent - is e tion of the su 0 . till Oct. 3%, 194, when the next Colombian Congress should have met in or- dina 1 By that time, as re- port goes on the extension time granted to the New Panama Canal . by treaty in 1893 would have the new Con would be take up the qu pany dad not, in spite sions that had been granted b acts, forfeited all its property “When that time arrives, e repo nificantly declares, the republic, without any im iment, will be able to contract, and will be in more clear, more definite and more advantageous possession, both le- he naked meanin invited to become a party. tion of the canal was to be relegated to the indefinite future. while Colombia was, by reason of her own delay, to be placed in the more advantageous’’ position of claim- ing not merely the compensation to be paid by the United States for the 2 of completing the canal, but also the $40,000,000 authorized by the act of 1902 to be paid for the property of the New Panama Canal Co. That the attempt to carry out this scheme would have brought Colombia into conflict with the government of France can not be doubted: nor could the United States have counted upon immunity from the consequences of the attempt, even apart from the indefinite delays to which the construction of the canal was to be sub- jeeted. On the first appearance of danger to Colombia, this government would have been summoned to interpose, in order to give effect to the guarantees of t treaty of 1846: and all this in support of -a plan which, while characterized in its first stage by the wanton disregard of our own high- est interests, was fitly to end in further injury to the citizens of a friendly nation, whose enormous losses in their generous ef- fort’ to pierce the Isthmus have become a matter of history. RECEIVED A MANDATE FROM CIVILIZATION. In the third place, I confidently maintain that the recognition of the republic of Pan- ama was an act justified by the interests of collective civilization. If ever a govern- ment could be said to have received a man- date from civilization to effect an object, the accomplishment of which was demand- ed in the interest of ‘mankind, the United States holds that position with regard to the interoceanic canal. Since our purpose to build the canal was definitely announced, re have come all quarters assur- ances of approval and encouragement, in which even Colombia herself at one time participated, and to general assurances were added specific acts and declarations. In order that no obstacle might stand in our way, Great Britain renounced im- ortant rights under the Clayton-Bulwer reaty and agreed to its abrogation, receiv- ing in return nothing but our honorable pledge to build the canal and protect it as an open highway. It was in view of this pledge, and of the proposed enactment by the Congress of the United States of legis- lation to give it immediate effect, that the second Pan-American conference, at the gity of Mexico, on Jan. 2, 1902, adopted the ollowing resolution: The republics assembled at the Inter- national conference of Mexico applaud the purpose of the United States Gov- ernment to construct an interoceanic canal, and acknowledge that this work will hot only be worthy of the great- ness of the American people, but also in the highest sense a work of civili- zation, and to the greatest degree bene- ficial to the development of commerce between the American states and the other countries of the world. Among those who signed this resolution on behalf of their respective governments was Gen. Reyes, the delegate of Colombia. ‘Little could it have been foreseen that two years later the Colombian government, led astray by false allurements of selfish ad- vantage, and forgetful alike of its inter- national obligations and of the duties and responsibilities of sovereignty, would thwart the efforts of the United tates to emter 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- hat iti th at our position as ® mandatory o civilization has been by no means * conceived is shown dy the promptitude with which the powers have, one after another, followed our lead in recognizing Panama as an independent state.

Said Mr. Wolff of the Wolff-Wilson Drug Co., “After having sold drugs and all kinds and makes of medicines for so man ears, naturally we have learned something about them, their value, and power to cure. There is no one medicine that will cure everything, but this I do know, that if the people of St. Louis only real- ized the wonderful curative and strength- creating age of Vinol, we would not have clerks enough im our store to put up orders for it.” Continued Mr. Wolff, “You see Vinol is not a patent medicine, and it actually does contain every one of the fifty odd medicinal curatives taken from fresh cods’ livers, with other vitalizing ingredients. It contains no poisonous drugs or naus- eating oil, and you know just what you are taking. Vinol has wonderful life-giv- ing, properties; it tones up and invig- orates every organ of the body to do its work, and we know it will make rich, red blood, build up the depleted system and create strength. “When I tell you that we have never sold in our store such a valuable remedy as Vinol for the following ailments; and that if it falls to accomplish what we say it will, we will refund your money, it will show our faith in its wonderful curative and vitalizing powers. “It will build up run-down, tired, de- bilitated people. It will make the weak and sickly strong and well. It will make flesh for thin people. It will increase the appetite.

The report shows insufficient safe- guards in the theaters and imperfect laws. The exits are not sufficient and in several theaters some of the exits originally provided were not usable. The law is not what it should be and is not enforced. There must be immediate and sweeping re- There must be good laws and a rigid enforcement of the laws. After the Chicago horror there is riot a shadow of excuse for ignorance or neglect on the part of public officials or theater managers. Let us have immediate action in St. Louis. * THE KISHINEFF JEWS ARE SAFE. The direct appeal of the World and Post-Dispatch to the Czar of Russia for-an assurance of the safety of the Jews in Kishineff accomplished two most desirable objects. (1) It brought from Minister von Plehve the assurance that “fears of the forthcoming troubles in Kishineff are unfounded,” which is equivalent to a pledge that the Russian government will take effective measures to protect the threatened Jews. (2) It calmed the fears of thousands of Jews in this country and elsewhere who apprehended a renewal of the brutal attacks upon the Kishineff Jews during the Russian Christmas holidays. The distress occasioned by these fears was shared by all humane persons. The message to the Czar and its response marks the culminat- ing service of the World and Post-Dispatch in the matter of the Kishineff outrages. The publicity given to the reports of the trials of the leaders of the Kishineff mob by our special cor- respondent, who was compelled to flee from Russia on account of his work, togethed with the intimation of impending riots, warned and aroused the public to a full sense of the danger of the remaining Kishineff Jews. No government would intervene. The cabinet at Washington decided that the United States would not be justified in tak- ing action upon a matter wholly within the jurisdiction of the Russian government. It remained for the press alone to act and the World and Post-Dispatch acted promptly and effective- ly. The direct message to the Czar brought the desired official response without the possibility of unpleasant complications. The incident is a remarkable demonstration of the power and position of the great newspaper of the present day. There could be no stronger proof of the influence of the modern press than the recognition of it by the Czar's government as an in- dependent power that must be reckoned with.

A Mystery in Pants. The piquant mystery which has enshroud- ed the North Garrison avenue neighbor- hood ever since the following advertise- ment was published in the Post-Dispatch New Tears day is still unsolved: — — PANTS— Lost, new pair pants, between Webster and Garrison, om Cass, or Garrison, between Cass and Easton; reward, for return of same „ —— Franklin av. ——— The vast field of speculation which such an announcement opens up is apparent at once, even to the most untrained observer. Curiosity at once demands to know: “What was Mr. Blank, who resides at No. —— Franklin avenue, doing on New Year’s eve ‘between Webster and Garri son, on Cass, or Garrison between Cass and Easton avenues,’ and why is he unable to give a stricter account of his where- abouts on the momentous occasion when he lost his pants; and what is there so particular about this pair of pants that he is both willing and eager to pay a reward for their return?” Was Mr. Blank out celebrating the dawn of the New Year in his new pants, and was he so lost in contemplation ok the revelry attendant thereupon that he inad- vertently lost the said pants? Such being the case, are we to infer that Mr. Blank found his way, panting yet pantless, from between Webster and Gar- rison, on Cass, or Garrison between Cass and Easton“ clear down to No. Frank- lin avenue without attracting undue atten- tion from the public, which is ever ready to marvel and rubber at a nan sprinting down the street panting yet pantiess? It is only natural that Mr. Blank should be restrained throu modesty from relat- ing in his advertisement the exact circum- stances under which he became separated from the said pants, and there is none, perhaps, who will criticize his reticence concerning the matter, yet such is the curjosity of human nature that there will never be peace or contentment “between Webster and Garrison, on Cass, or Garrison between Cass and Easton” until this very point shall have been satisfactorily deter- mined. Merely Asking. No criticism here is meant, No inquisition shady, But what, we pray you, is a „gent,“ And what, sir, is a lady“? Oh, no offense—don’t think it so! We only merely wish to know. At Winfield, Kan., a 14-year-old girl ran away from home with a traveling Salva- tion Army corps. Hallelujah! This is a relief from the usual story ot the 14-year- old girl who runs away from home with the sewing machine agent with the phony diamond, the red necktie and the plug hat the fourth day after he strikes her native town. The World's Fair management offered fifty whole dollars for an official ode and got a pome,“ and now it offers %50 for the selection of the spot from which the most beautiful and comprehensive view of the buildings and grounds can be obtained.

Not céntent with the ordinary education which she received, she was anxious to get a col- lege education, and one day spoke to her brother about Je. He told her he could not afford to pay the fees, but taking a nickel out of his pocket he jestingly said, “Go on that.“ Even a jest will sometimes serve as an incentive, and the girl took her brother at his word. She took the nickel and went out and bought a yard of calico. With it she made a sunbonnet, which she sold for a quarter. The quarter she in- vested in more calico and more sunbonnets. Then she sold them to buy still More calico for still more sunbonnets. She also made To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

MOUNTER AND TAYLOR. Mounter and Taylor were two dogs who lived together on Mr. Bentley's farm. Mounter had made up his mind that Taylor should not go across a fence ahead of him, and when he did so there was certain to be a fight. One day Taylor not only jumped the fence ahead of Mounter, but whipped him in the fight that followed. Mounter made up his mind to get even, and the next day he showed Taylor where Aunt Nancy, the cook, had left a jar of preserves uncovered in the smokehouse.

III OF QUALIFICATIONS . TO BE STRICTLY ENFORCED Pending Passage of New Ordinance, All Provisions of Present Law for Fire and Panic Protection Will Be Placed in Use. Commissioner of Public Buildings George U. Heimburger started from the City Hall at noon Monday to visit each of the downtown theaters and personally test their asbestos curtains with a painter's “blow-pipe’’ and thus satisfy himself as to whether they are absolutely asbestos cur- tains or merely curtains of burlap and linen with asbestos paint. Mr. Heimburger decided upon this course of action after hearing reports to the ef- fect that there is only one absolutely as- bestos curtain. in St. Louis, and that the others are only covered with asbestos paint. In case any of the curtains fail to with- stand the flame of the blowpipe it is ex- pected that Mr. Heimburger will order them replaced at once with absolutely non- inflammable curtains. Inspectors Hester and Kelleher of the building commissioner's office started out Monday morning to make an investigation of all the theaters and report in detail whether each theater is complying with the sections of the ordinances requiring them to equip playhouse with the fol- lowing accessories: Automatic skylightsé Automatic sprinklers. Aisles of proper width, unobstructed. Asbestos curtains. Fireproof: scenery. A Diagram of exits on program. Hooks, axes, casks and water buckets on “are.

Assistant Building Commissioner Smith faye that from these reports the building department can tell exactly what should be done by each of the theaters in the interest f public safety and that they will be or- ered to do it forthwith. Must Show Certificate of Building Commissioner. License Collector Clifford says that no theaters can secure licenses hereafter un- less they have teh certificate of the build- cj “ing commissioner that they have complied th the law. The Crawford and the Standard theaters ‘secured licenses Dec. A. but on certificate of Assistant Building Commissioner Smith that the construction and uipment”’ of the theaters in conformity with the law, “In the past,“ said Mr. Clifford, the certificate of the building commissioner has not always been insisted on. “This arose from the fact that when Mr. Longfellow was building commissioner he deciined to issue them. As a result the mayor took up the matter and called a conference at which I was present and the theater managers also attended. They showed that the law was defective and they id it was impossible to comply with all mute details of the ordiance. ‘A sort of a compromise was reached by which it was agreed to give them the license if they complied with the essentia! of the mance.“ tant Building Commissioner Smith. when asked his reasons for certifying to the co ssioner that licenses should be issued for the Crawford and Stand- said: ne are comply! with eevry feature the law we are able to enforce.

Despite the fact that Zerwick only earned $6.50 per week when he was married, he not only kept himself and wife in comfort, but saved $2.50 a week. It was the disposition of this fund that brought on Zerwick's pe tion for separation. The father-in-law was sure that he alone knew how it should be spent—Zerwick thought not. 80 persistent became the former that other domestic troubles were bred, which resulted in the recourse to the courts.

The Mutual Lif Insurance Company of New York RICHARD A. McCURDY, President, ze Announces to its hundreds of thousands of policy-holders throughout the world, that its funds held for their protection have now reached the enormous sum of over 400 MILLION DOLLAR Many millions more than the assets of any other life insurance company in existence. This Company has returned to policy-holders the stupendous sum of over 6 MILLION DOLLAR Over 190 million more than any other life insurance company in the world has disbursed. This excess over any other company is greater than the combined capital of the Bank of England, Bank of France, and the Imperial Banks of Germany and Russia.

MR — : — ; * > 4 Ne . le! . ~— : — : vi? * 1 „ pe — | Stricken With Heart Disease Pick up almost any newspaper and yeu will find an account ef some person being stricken with heart disease. Heart trouble, at least among the Americans, is en the increase. Ne doubt this is dus in part te the worry, excitemtent and strenu- osity of medern American business Itfe, and yet how many, many times it ts the result ef weak stomachs, ef poor digestion. While real erganſe heart treudie is ncurabis, it is comforting to know that net more than one case in every hundred is organic. The ro- mainder are functional, being due to a sympa- thetic disturbance, produeed through the nerveus eystem, caused by great muscular prostretion, improper nutritien, in short, dyspepsia. This functional disturbance ef the heart's action is manifested by palpitation, irregularity of beats, intermission, rolling or tumbling move ment and « feeling as if the heart were im the threat. These symptoms often give rise to great apprehension, anxiety, fear and depression of mind. But since the cause of the treuble is relation between heart trouble and poor diges- tion is due te the fact that the heart, the great foree pump of the system, te which all ef the veins and arteries of the bedy may be or indirectly traced, and the stomach are controlled by the same,great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pheum ogastsic Ia another way, also, the heart is affected by the ferm of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food. There is a feeling ef oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their action; hence arises palpitation and short breath. Peer digestion alse poisons the blood. making it thin and watery, which irritates and weakens the heart. The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to improve the digestion and te insure the prompt assimilation of food. The slightest derangement of the stomach impairs digestion and nutrition, Some ef the symptoms ef indigestion are fullness in the region of the stomach, sourness, emission of | gases, colic, loss of energy, drowsiness, harrowing dreams, bitter taste in the mouth, offensive breath, sick headache, giddiness, disturbed sleep, sallew countenance, heartburn, irregularity ef appetite, etc. Many suffering from dyspepsia make the §rave mistake of assuming that they need cathar- tics te force the liver te throw off the load, and ordered liver, while in reality they require some effective digestive preparation like Stuart’s Dys- pepsia Tablete, obtainable of all druggists, which are pleasant and perfectly safe, to supply the lacking fluids that cause digestion and proper and insuring a strong, vigorous, healthy body. It is safe te say that the regular, persistent use ef Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets at mealtime will cure any form of stomach trouble except cancer ef the stemach. Mrs. Lydia Bartram of Assyria, Mich., writés: “I have suffered frem stomach trouble 10 years and five different doctors gave me temporary relief. A Mr. E. R. Page advised me to try Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and four boxes did me more permanent benefit than · all the doc- ters’ medicines that I have ever taken.” Mrs. G. I. Orotaley, 586 W Hoboken, N.

The tears and promises of a pretty young woman, a deserted wife turned adrift by her parents because she eloped and married an actor, touched the heart of a jeweler from whom she had stolen a ring and a watch. In the office of the assistant prosecuting attorney Monday morning the jeweler, Fer- dinand Diel, refused to prosecute. Then he took a bill from his pocket, gave it to the young woman with his biessing, and hurried away while she was still thanking him. The young woman is Mrs. Minnie North, daughter of a wealthy retired merchant of Memphis. She was raised with every ad- vantage, and attended a select school in Memphis. One of her schoolmates was a girl who afterward became the wife of the manager of one of the theaters there. While visiting this schoolmate, Mrs. North, whose maiden name was Tresler, met William North, an actor, with whom she fell in love. Her parents objected, but she eloped with him and married him five years ago. Her parents never forgave her. Two chil- dren were born to her, but died. Then her husband deserted her. Three months ago, with $25, considerable jewelry and many handsome clothes, Mrs. North came to St. Louis, hoping to get & position as bookkeeper. ‘“‘But luck was against me,“ goon gone.

Mrs. North confessed to the most minute detail of the robbery. She wept softly and constantly. Diel asked 7 Dalton What he should do. “She isn’t: a confirmed thief,“ said Dalton. “but you must decide. Either she will go free at your word, or she can be sent 15 the penitentiary.”’ “Have you any money?“ Diel asked her. “Not so much as a 5-cent piece,“ she said. Diel drew a roll of bills from his pocket and gave her one. “This will give you a chance,“ he said. “Be honest in future, whatever the temptation. And may every blessing go with vou.“ Mrs. Berth grasped his hand, while the tears fell fast. Dalton arose from his chair and grasped Diel's other hand cor- Gally. Other spectators were much af- fected. SYMPHONY PLAYER ENDS LIFE Long Illness Causes Herman Schmidt to Shoot Himself in Kitchen at Home.

The score in the feature contest was 3 to 2, and the game was a ‘hot” one, in spite of low temperature of the at- mosphere. Cunningham put the Rawlings in the lead soon after the game opened on the slippery field, and before most of the players had got their bearings. But the Kerns took the ice in a short time, and soon tied the score by a mass play. Cunningham got in another score be- fore the half closed, leaving his team one to the good. The second half was not long in play before Reed put in another score for the 2 but they could not hold the ead. “Rig Bobby” Kelly got hold of the ball and shot it between the goal posts for a counter for the Kerns. After that neither team was able to score, al- though the players and spectators got their mouths open several times for a shout.

London came also advanced and with lively trading there. Consols are K higher for money and % higher for the account. The foreigners are buyers this morning, with orders ag gregating about 30,000 shares to execute. The strength in the foreign market is said to be on account of advices that the East- ern situation is much improved. Japanese securities in London are much stronger. There was some sufprise at the bank statement of Saturday, but those best post- ed say that it might have been expected on account of the unusual needs at this time of the year and on account ot the opera- tfons of the trust companies, who always desire to make a favorable showing at the end of the year. From present indications it is more than likely that the Carnegie employes Will strike béfore they will accept the proposed reduction in wages. The American Car & Foundry employes will also take the same sleps.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.~—Still further start- ling price changes were awaiting the cot- ton trade today. Cables were very low, an English cotton expert had estimated the crop at. 11,26u,.00 bales, and, while the latest advices con- cerning the far eastern situation were more optimistic, the uncertainty in that respect exerted an unfavorable effect on prices. The market here opened quiet at a de- cline of 34 to 63 points, representing from 1-3 to 2-3 of a cent, with March selling down to $12.60, May to $12.88 and July to $12.90, this being a net loss on these posi- tions of from 5% to G points. On the decline. however, there“ was a demand, with shorts taking profits, and inside of 15 minutes the active months had rallied 283 to 34 points from tut low- ZINC ORE GAINS $3 A TON.

Gardner & Co. and the Hubbard & Moffit Commission Co., was brought by the Orthweins before Judge Foster of the St. Louis Cireuit Court Mon- day morning. The trouble grows out of the Spencer-Milliken corner in December wheat.

Contrary to their expectations, the market kept soar- ing. With each additional fractional - vance the Orthweins were forced to put up cash margine to protect themselves. It 1s this money that is now the subject of the controversy. At the close of the month the Orthweins were unable to secure the actual wheat they had contracted for, and the margins had been eaten up with the continued ad- vance. They then brought suit, charging that the market had been mantgulated and ask- ‘Ing the court to determine the proper price of December wheat. Judge Foster issued a restraining order and an order to the defendants to show cause Saturday, Jan. 9, why the injunction Should not be tesued. , The plaintiffs in the suit are William J. and Charies C.

HERE FOR HAMMOND CASE Body to Have Inquired Into Misman- agement of Church Funds Prob- ably Not Meeet. The Rev. J. N. Béard of San Francisco, general counsel for the Methodist Ppis- * copal Church in the trial of Rev. J. D. Hammond of San Francisco for misman- agement of church funds, which was to have begun in St. Louis Tuesday, died sud- denty of. heart failure at the Terminal Hotel at 6:30 Monday morning. Dr. Beard is president of the Nationai Training School for Deaconesses in San Francisco and is a man of national repu- tation in the Methodist Church, particu- larly as an advocate in church trials. He came to St. Louis Saturday with the Rew. A. C. Bane of California, to prepare för the trial of Rev. Hammond, in which he was to represent the church. About 4:45 o'clock Monday morning Dr. Bane was awakened by calls from Dr. Beard’s room) He hurried in, and Dr. Beard complained of severe pains in his stomach. He was writhing on the bed. Dr. Bane called William Ahrens, night who hurriédly sum- moned Dr. Otto L. Sahlender, the hotel | physician. Dr. Beard was unconscious and beyond relief when the physician arrived. He died at 6:30. Dr. Sahlender said death was due to heart failure. Dr. eBard was 53 years old and leaves a widow and two daughters in San Fran- cisco. The Rev. J. D. Hammond. in whose trial he. was general counsel for the church, had charge of all the Chinese missions con- Gucted by the Methodist Episcopal Church in San Francisco. At one time he had also been connected with the Methodist Book Co. This y was to have convened for the trial at 10 o’clock Tuesday morning in the German Methodist Episcopal Churc at Tenth and Wash streets, with Bishop Fitz- gerald presiding. On account of the death f Dr. Beard the trial will probably be © postponed. NEW CATHEDRAL is URGED Archbishop Glennon Urges Catholic Churchmen to Hasten Contsruc- tion of Creditable Edifice.

FIREMEN’S ung, - GUEST Cold Water and Hard Knocks Arouse+- No Response From Thorough- ly “Paralyzed” Bluecoat. atrolman Thomas Gavin of the Second District was found by Sergt. Stuart, drunk and dead to the world, in engine house Np. 11. Barton and Bismarck streets, at 5 e’clock Monday morning. Sergt. Stuart unpinned Gavin's star and took the big revolver from his pocket; Gavin only snored heavily. The sergeants shook him, tried to stand him on his feet, threw some water in his face. and then shook him again, but Gavin answered not. Then the sergeant went to the station house at Nöth and Wyoming streets, turned in the ‘star and revolver, reported to Lieut. Stack and asked for instructions. He was told to awaken Gavin if he could, and if he could not to call a patrol wagon. Stuart had ti call the wagon; there was no way in which the could be aroused. Four men lifted him, none too gently, into the wagon, and his only response was a grateful sprawl up- on what seemed to be a comfortable bed. The four men lifted him again when they got him ‘to the station house, and carried him to a cell. The change of bed made no change in the condition of somnolency. Several hours later Gavin partly awoke and was taken to his home at 7815 Minne- sota avenue. Gavin was dismissed from the force for a similiar offense before the reorganization of the force Aug. 21, 1899. He was feinstat- ed at the reorganization.
