lowing hills:
To inquire into the reorganization "of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company, and
the. disposal of the lands belonging to the

Railroad Company..
"Whereas, July 1, 1864, there -was enact

Dice, John A. Poore, Samuel P. Strick
land and others for building a railroad
from Lake Superior to Puget Sound, with
branched thereto, under the name and
title of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company: and,
"Whereas, to aid in the construction of
Bald Tailroad, public land to thfr extent of
43,000,000 acres was given to said corpora
tion to aid in building the road; and,
"Whereas, under the said charter. Con
gress expressly stipulated in section 10
that no bonded debt should ever be cre
ated by the corporation, or mortgage or
lien made in any way, except by and with
the consent of Congress; and,
"Whereas, Congress authorized an is
sue of bonds known as the first mortgage
bonds, and by the issue of the said bonds
the corporation exhausted its power to
issue bonds; and,
"Whereas, The corporation, in violation
of law and its charter, has issued so-called
second mortgage bonds, $19,216,000; third
mortgage bonds. $11,481,000; consolidated
mortgage bonds, $160,000,000, and caused an
illegal sale of the property under a fore

"Whereas, The reorganized North Pa

BE ON THE WATCH-
(Continued from First Pare.)
gave the department complete Information
from the German standpoint of
the position of his government.
He said that for seven years
Venezuela had filled to pay Interest on
a debt to German citizens, of about $5,000,
000 contracted Irt. the construction of a
railroad and, in addition, there were
other debts amounting to about $1,700,000
due to German citizens from Venezuela,
which, it had proved Impossible to collect.
He added that every known peaceable
means ha"d been tried to secure the money
and that his government, feeling that
patience had ceased to be a virtue, had
decided to use coercive means.
It was desired, however, he said, that
it should be explicitly understood that,
whatever steps might be tiken by his
counjtry, there was no desire to encroach
on or Interfere with the Monroe doctrine.
This explanation, he thought, was due to
the United States, as the only purpose of
his governmeht was to assist Its people
in collecting debts due them.
Secretary Hay replied, December 16, 1901$
saying In effect that the Monroe doctrine
was not intended to shield any American
nation from the payment of its honest
debts, and that its purpose was to pre
vent the acquisition of territory by Old
World nations. To further elucidate the
position of the United States on the Mon
roe doctrine, he quoted from the first an
nual message of President Roosevelt,
which had been In the hands of 'Congress
for only a few days.
When Senator Cullom hid concluded,
Senator Lodge called attention to the
declaration attributed to Lord Lansdowne
by today's dispatches, that there Is no
disposition or desire on the part of Great
Britain to acquire any Venezuelan terri
tory. No Party Division.
r Senator Bacon, of Georgia, a leading
minority member of the' committee on
foreign affairs, said that on a question
of this kind there was no party division;
that everybody would stand with the Ad
ministration in doing what was best
for the general good. There was no desire
on tne part of anyone to embarrass those
Who were In control of affairs and unon
whom devolved the duty of protecting
American interests. The maintenance of
the Monroe doctrine, he added, devolved
on tne wnole Deoole.
Senator Hoar said that, so far, nothing
naa Deen done to cause QDDrehensIon. and
he expressed the opinion that for the
present the Government of the United
states could do nothing more than keep
a waicniui eve on the situation.
Senator Stewart dwelt somewhat on the
bombardment of the Venezuelan fort, and
sam mat tnat Incident should be lerfint!
ky our Government as a warning of what
tais country might exoect whenever ex
case might offer. He gave as his Teason
for his admonition the fact that our re
cent acquisition .of territory had aroused
the jealousy of all the European poWern,
and that they might attack us at any
time.
"Not in two generations." he said,
"could we build up a navy equal to that
of Great Britain, but we can strengthen
eur coast fortifications, and in view of
Venezuela's experience it behooves us to
to so.'
As there was no formal question before
Xk 'Senate, the matter was dropped.: ;
ISO MORE BOMBARDMENT.
Trace Arranged -at -Puerto Cabello
ThresKB Mediation of Consult-.
PUERTO CABELLO, Dec. 16.-The
.American Vice-Consul here, Mr. Volk
juan; the German Consul, P. Redez; the
British Coasul, R. Kolsar, and a T number
of the leading citizens of Puerto Cabello,
have liad an interview with the British
and German Commodores. Thin step was
taken by the Consuls and the citizens of
their own volition.
,As -a result of .the conference the foreign
naval officers iave desisted from their
plan to disembark marines and seize the
cannon In Port Solano and ask for the
capitulation of Puerto Cabello. Fort So
lano is situated on the hills' back of
Puerto- Cabello In a position dominating
the town. The British and German Com
modores have released. General Bcllo, who
was made a prisoner in Castle Llbertador
after the bombardment and they have
promised to release the other prisoners
In a few hours. A number ot criminals
w&o were confined In Castle Llbertador
have been turned over to the Venezuelan
civil authorities.
It has been arranged that Fort Solano
and Castle Llbertador, on the water
front, are not to be garrisoned by Vene
zuela as long as the' present difficulties
continue. Thie Is done In order to avoid
another bombardment. The lives and
property of the British subjects here are
to be guaranteed. There is no blockade
at Puerto Cabello.
OABIXET CONSIDERS CRISIS.
Government Will Stand by Princi
ples of President's HcuaRe.
WASHINGTON Dec. 16. President
Roosevelt and his Cabinet had one of the
most extended and Important meetings to
day that has been held this Fall. For
eign affairs consumed the entire time of
the session. The Venezuelan situation
was . discussed, but no conclusion was
reached different from that which has ac
tuated the President and his advlscra
throughout the consideration of the
trouble between Venezuela and Great
Britain.
From an authoritative source the infor
mation Is obtained that there will be no
recession on the part f this Government
with respect to .questions Involving Ven
ezuela or an'- .other of the governments of
South or Central America, as laid down by
the President .In his message to Congress.
Every detail of the developments In Ven
ezuela Is being carefully scrutinized. It
can' he said authoritatively that no ap
prehension exists in the minds of any of
the Administration officials that serious
troubles growing out of It will accrue to
this country. It Is believed that both
Great Britain and Germany will act with
in the arrangement which originally was
presented to this Government, and to
which the United States passively as
sented. The treaty with Cuba, which was ne
gotiated In Havana by General Bliss, and
which arrived- In Washington today, was
presented to' the Cabinet and considered In
detail. It is ready for presentation to
Congress, and probably will be transmit
ted to the Senate within 24 hours. It Is
regarded as highly Important that It
Ehould bt ratified prccnptly,.s the present
Venezuelan situation emphasizes the ne
cessity for coaling stations In Cuba.
While definite action upon the treaty by
the Senate or Congress, if the necessity
arises to present It also to the House, Is
scarcely to -e expected before the holiday
recess, the Administration is hopeful of
prompt consideration of It when Congress
convenes,

VENEZUELAN SHIPS ARE SMALL.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 16. Advices re
ceived at the German Embassy tonight
relative to tne sinking of the Venezuelan
gunboats by the allied fleet bring Import
ant details about this Incident It seems
that, of the- three Venezuelan men-of-war
captured by the German squadron, the
Restaurado'r Is of 600 tons displacement
and the two others, the Totumo and Gen
eral Crespo, were of 137 tons. Manned
with German sailors, the Restaurador
now files the German flag.
The other two vessels, it Is said, were
not seaworthy enough to make the voy
age to, Trinidad, nor was it possible to
tow thctn to port, as the squadron was
ln search of Venezuelan men-of-war. The
German commander, it Is added, realizing
that the ships were of no value, decided
to sink thorn

said he had been Informed that the present

the 294 months, the Commission had spent
six months In Nicaragua and two weeks
in Panama.
"That Is a very remarkable statement."
said Hale.
"It is a very true one." replied Mor
gan, "and shows tho necessity of our doing
something to regulato these expenses."
Continuing. Morgan said It was neces
sary. "In advance of striking ert'e lick on
that canal, to make such provision as will
prevent the United States from running
Into the horrible Iniquities of the old Pan
ama Canal Company as well as the new
ono." He said thero -had been spent on
that canal $260,000,000, and there was noth
ing to show for It, except two-fifths of a
ditch dug there which, was filled up to a
largo extent
The bill was referred as requested and
consideration resumed of the military bill.
An amendment otTc.rpd hv itamUo,

POWER IS TRANSFERRED. '
Agricultural Department Mar Now
Deal With Cattle Diitensc.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 16. The House to
dav pnssed the bill transferring from the
Treasury Department to the Department
of Agriculture the power to establish reg
ulations for the suppression of contagious
diseases among livestock, and devoted the
remainder of the day to the legislative
approprlatiqn bill, on which rapid progress
is being made.
Some minor business was transacted by
unanimous consent at the opening of the
House. Rills were passed to authorize
the resurvey of certain townships In
Wyoming and. to authorize the construc
tion of a lighthouse at Mukilteo Point,
Wash.
Upon the demand for the regular order,
Mr. Wadsworth (N. Y.) called up the bill
to transfer from the Treasury Depart
ment to the Secretary of Agriculture
power to make regulations to suppress and
extirpate dangerous contagious diseases
among livestock. He explained that the
change of the law was made necessary by
tho discovery that when the Department
of Agriculture was created this power,
supposed to have "been transferred to and
since exercised by the Secretary of Agri
culture, was left -.vlth the Treasury De
partment; The additional power con
ferred by the bill to prevent the Introduc
tion frcm an infected foreign country or
fron one state to another of hay. straw,
forage, etc.. was made necessary, he 5ld,
by the suspicion that the. foot and mouth
disease wao communicated to livestock
In New England through Infected hay
from Canada, and micht be transmitted
thence to other , portions of the United
States by tho same means. The bill was
passed without division.
The House then went into committee of
the whole and resumed the consideration
of the legislative, executive nnd 'Judicial
appropriation bill. After completing 123
pagts of the bill the committee rose.
A resolution was adopted calling upon
the Attorney-General for Information as
o whether, in thp case of the Eastern
Oherokees vs. the United Statc3, the award
of December 19. 1D01, Is rcadjudicated. and
to advise the House whether the reasons
'pet forth in the opinion of the Depart
menl of Justice December 2, 1E95, now
constitute a valid defense to the pay
ment of th claim.

who. was sent to Havana to aid Minister
Squires In drafting a reciprocity treaty
between the United States and Cuba,

The- document that was' signed in Ha-,
vana is a treaty pure and simple, and as
such will her forwarded to the Senate by
Secretary Hay. Minister Quesada, who
initiated the proceedings here for his
government, but was. unable to bring them
to a successful conclusion, expected that
It would be necessary for him to sign .a
definite tteaty here, but owing to the
thoroughness with which General Bliss
prosecuted hl3 work, nothing" further re-
mains to be done by tho executive branch.,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.7-Dr. Herran,
the Columbian Charge d'Affalres, who. has
been clothed with full powers to sign a
canal treaty, was an early caller at the(
Sfate Department today, and spent half
an hour with Secretary Hay In a further
effort to reach an agreement as to the
price thl3 country shall pay for the con
cession. Dr. Herran predicts that the
treaty will be ready for submission to
Congress before Christmas. It Is under
stood both at the State Department and
at? the Colombian Legation that the ques
tion of price is the only barrier now to
the conclusion of a satisfactory conven
tion. Dr. Herran Informed the Secretary that
Minister Concha sailed from New York
for' South America Saturday last. It Is
understood he will- not return to America.
His successor will present his letter of

received the following replies:
Pern.
Lima, Peru, Dec. 16. Tho newspapers of
Peru are In favor of collective action In
suoDort of Venezuela by all the South
American Republics. The Peruvian gov
ernment, however. Is not.dlspcoed to take

the university here at a meeting last
flight, resolved to address expressions of
sympathy to the students of the Univer
sity of Caracas.
Bolivia.
La Paz, Bolivia, Dec. 16. While tho Bo
lllan government i3 not prepared to take
any .stepa to assist Venezuela in the pres
ent crlsl3, the newspapers of Bolivia ex
press themselves In favor of joint action
on tho part of all the republics of South
America in support of Venezuela against
the allied powers. , '
Salvador.
San Salvador, Salvador, Dec. 16. The
newspapers here are urging the South
American republics to support Venezuela,
but the government of Salvador Is not
likely to take any action.
Ecnador.
Guayquil, Ecuador, Dec. 16. The news of
the bombardment of the forts at Puerto
Cabellc has further excited the Ecuador
ians, who were already greatly Incensed
at tha sinking of the Venezuelan war
ships. More than SOOO Venezuelans pa
raded the streets last night carrying the
Ecuadorian, Mexican and various South
American flags. Many patriotic speeches
were delivered In favor of a Latin-American
alllanco. Perfect order prevaled. The
government Is not likely to take any
action, however. The newspapers here
continue to protest at the action taken by
Germany and Great Britain. They further
assart thr.t the Monroe Doctrine Is only
usei whn It suits the United States to
appeal to It.
Argentina.
Buenco Ayres, Argentina, Dec. 16. The
government of Argentina pfllclally -denies
the reports that it contempates interven
tion in the dispute "between "Venezuela and
tho allied powers.' The newspapers are

Chile.
Santiago, Chile, Dec. 16. Owing to the
great distance separating the two coun

origin of the differences between Vene
zuela and the allied. Dowers. But the
government and people of Chile deplore
tho. events which have led the sietor re
public into a serious situation. The
Chilean government, however, has decided
on complete atetentlon from any action,
Chile's principle has always been to pay
her debts and It la held here that Vene
zuela ought to do the same. At the same
time, general opinion is frankly against
the action of the great powers In treating
a weak country In such a manner.
It Is claimed that the questions In dis
pute should be submitted to arbitration
and it is held the United States should In
tervene in an amicable manner.
Colontliia.
Panama, Colombia. Dec. 16. On account
of his. having helped the Colombian Repub
lic revolutionists, President Castro, of'
Venezuela, has no friends in the Colom
bia government. Influential members of
the government In Panama side with Ven
ezuela in the present difficulty and hope
that the United States will not allow
Europe to trample on that country's
rights. Were thio done. It is believed
that the future of Latin-America would be
endangered. Government officials here be
lieve that the time for the application of
the Monroe Doctrine has arrived.

VICTORIA. B. C, Dec. 16.-AccordIng
to advices received by the steamer RIo
jun Maru, which arrived tonight, the
naval expansion programme of Japan,
which, report says, Is forced upon. Japan

ditions to the navy from the land tax.
A dispatch from Toklo published by
Yokohama papers on December 2, the date
of tho steamer's sailing, says that Mar
quis Ito, whose attitude in the naval ex
tension project had been much discussed,

exhorted his followers to Indorse the gov
ernment's naval expansion scheme. If - It
can be carried out by retrenching the rail
way and telephonic expansion.
The Katsura government proposes to
spend $50,000,000 in 10 years for railway
and telegraphic and telephonic works,
which aro expected to be productive, and
the Marquis proposes to secure the funds
for naval extension thus, Instead of from
the land tax. Marquis Ito says he recog
nizes the necessity of strengthening the
navy, but as Japan's finances would be
more stable after five year3' readjust
ment, the naval programme could be bet
ter carried out then.
