The millennium 13 at hand.
The Hon, and the lamb, or to speak it
more fittingly, the bullock and the ram
have lain down together In so far as the
Interests of the cattle and sheepralsers
of the country are concerned.
At yesterday's Joint session of the Na
tional Livestock and National Wool
growers' Associations there was not t
thing but concord. Ancient feuds of the
range were forgotten and the eternal
wariare ror tns waternoies became as
naught. Cattle barons and sheep kings
were rounded up In the same corral to
hear Governor Chamberlain and Mayor
Williams extend the loan of the state and
city for their sole use and benefit and
nary man among them packed a gun.
The day's addresses and discussions were
of mutual Interest to the two organiza
tions, for in this fight which Is being
made against what they deem their com
mon grievance the alleged unwise admin
istration of public land laws, the mach
inations of the packing combine and un
just railroad rates, they are one.
The Damon and Pythias simile Is also
carried Into their pleasuring during the
week of work and play. The only lines
which segregated the visiting associations
were drawn while the wooigrowers elected
officers for the coming year, and passed
some resolutions of great Import to the
wool Industry. The wise and popular ad
ministration of Senator Warren as presi
dent, was Indorsed by his continuance In
office and the new officers chosen were
happy selections. The memorial to Con
greas asking that the mutton-stew be
given an equal chance with the rump
roast in the commissariat of the Indian
and Army service was of peculiar lm
portance to the flock masters, and the
cattlemen had no voice therein. With
these exceptions and a few minor matters
the meeting was a committee of the
whole and Senator Warren's bright and
appreciative response to the addresses of
welcome was the voice of alL
President Springer's brilliant and com
prehensive annual address was a presen
tation of the accomplishments of the past
year, and a forecast for the future, which
could not have been Improved upon in a
single respect. It came as a revelation
to many of the veteran members of the
association and should be issued as a tract
for educational purposes.
The messages which President Harding,
of the National Wool Manufacturers' As
sociation carried from the industrial
centers of the Atlantic seaboard was
eminently practical and should do much
toward eliminating whatever differences
exist between the wool producers and
those who card, and spin, and wear a it
into the warp and woof of commerce.
Then- there was Jerry Simpson, afore
time Congressman of Kansas, the kallde-
scopic Ishmaellte of National politics, now
turned ranchman, promoter and New Mex
ico's statehood advocate. Without Jerry
the convention might have taken itself
too seriously, but now that he Is here
there Is great hope. He made his cus
tomary hit at the "union" meeting and
last evening half the visitors were ad
dressing him by his given name. The
vaudeville stage Is poor indeed without
him. Poor Indeed.
The sunny skies of the morning got
Into the spirits of everybody and every
thing which was said and done was
felicitous.
.It is believed that the high tide of at
tendance has been reached and although
It Is Impossible to reckon positively the
number, it is fully up to expectations. The
arrivals of yesterday filled the hotels and
rooming-houses to their utmost capacity
and sent the visitor into the residence
district to lodge.
The belated Texans arrived in the even
Ing with a whoop and hurrah. Their hope
is to start a stampede to El Paso as the
meeting place of the 1S0S convention. They
are good fellows and they tell It weu. but
the statute of limitations seems to have
run during their enforced delay and they
seem to be badly handicapped. The Den
verites have been ringing a siren song
and .have lined up a strong support for
their city as the permanent location. It
in possible, however, that this convention
will favor go Ins to El Paso next year and
serving notice that thereafter Denver -will
be its fixed home.
There was a most noticeable Increase
yesterday in the representations from
Washington and Oregon, the nearby dele
gates delaying their coming' for the for
mal opening. There were scattering ar
rivals from the Mississippi Valley and
the East, bat this morning the guest list
for Portland's coming-out party is prac
tically complete.
The absence of any considerable numoer
of the city's prominent citizens in the
hotel lobbies and at the convention hall
was remarked yesterday and it Is feared
that our business and professional men
are not taking the personal interest in
the convention which its importance
should command. There was a large at
tendance at the magnificent public recep
tion given by the Commercial Club last
evening and the visitors were welcomed
with royal hospitality, but It is in the
hotels and at the public sessions that
the city's best people should meet and
mingle.
At today's sessions Secretary Charles F.
Martin will read his annual report and a
number of Important addresses will be de
livered. The executive committee will re
port and there will be general discussion
relating to the business of the association.
In the afternoon the visiting ladies will
be tendered a reception by the ladles of
the city at the Portland Hotel parlors.
This will be the most distinctively social
function of the week and the ladles will
be charmingly entertained.
In the evening there will be the festivi
ties in Chinatown given by the Chinese
erchants, who will provide guides and
assume the full management of this
unique feature of the convention. During
the evening there will also be a smoker
for the visiting newspaper men at the
City. Press Club.
Tne wooigrowers adjourned sine die
yesterday after a most profitable session
and the actual work of the Livestock As
sociation begins today and will continue
until Saturday. A vote will be taken to
day by the convention as to the prefer
ence of Its members for an excursion on
Saturday to Cascade Locks or to Seaside.
In either event the trip will give the vis
itors an excellent opportunity to see the
scenic beauties of the Columbia.

United States have been extended from the
limits that marked them at the time of the

of American Democracy and father of the Dem

brought to us the country from the Mississippi

"Whereas, It was Thomas Jefferson also who

actions and events to the attention" of the peo
ple of the United" Stales.
The committee furnished a surprise
In. selecting St.. Louis, as the place for
holding the convention. . The dae fixed
for- the convention was "Wednesday,
July6, at 11" o'clock. Previous to the
metins of the committee. it seemed a
foregoneconclusIo"h that .Chicago would
be selected; hut political exigencies en
tered into the situation, and a majority
of "the committee voted for St. Louis?
Ior some hours previous to the meet
ing' of . the . committee . there was talk
In ihe corridors, and among Democrat
ic leaders that the convention- in ChU
cago might "be subject to the influence
of a. strong movement and a strong
newspaper influence In favor of some
particular candidate. Mr. Knapp, of the
St.' Louis Republic hinted at this In his
speech by saying that the convention.
If held at St. Louis, would be welcomed
by an absolutely fair press.
The' committee meeting covered con
siderable discussion of politics, and the
claims of various candidates wero ad
vocated by their partisans, but nothing
like favoring "any-candldate appeared in
the committee proceedings.
Bryan Shows Up
W. J. Bryan, when the committee had
concluded Its labors, appeared, but his
visit was without any apparent politi
cal significance. He did not come to
the hotel until after the committee had
nearly oncluded Its business. He was
warmly greeted by the members of the
committee and Invited a number of
them to call on him at his hotel and
hold a conference with Chairman Jones
at the Shoreham. Asked what he
thought of the Panama situation, Mr.
Bryan said he moved with delibera-
tloni and events occurred too rapidly
in some quarters for him to keep pace
with them. In answer to another
question, he replied it was yet too early
to outline the issues for the coming
campaign.
Mr. Bryan tonight took a train for
the West, leaving several hours" earlier
than he expected to depart.
The committee was called to order by
Chairman Jones, of Arkansas. Among
those present with proxies were Senator
Gorman, of Maryland, and. Senator Du
bois, of Idaho.
At 1:30 the committee took a recess un
til 3 ofclock, when the various cities
which were applicants for the convention
were given 30 minutes each to present
their claims. The greater portion of the
executive session was devoted to ihe con
test for membership on the committee
between James L. Norrls and Edward Sef
ton, from the District of Columbia. Mr.
Sefton, In the Interest of harmony, de
clined to serve on the committee, and
by resolution the whole matter was re
ferred to the committee
Chairman Jones.
appointed by
Argument of New York.
The New Tork claim was presented by
Ex-Mayor Robert A. Van Wyck, who sub
mitted a -statement signed by himself,
John TVjx, Robert B. Roosevelt, Daniel
0Day, Randolph Guggenhelmer and John
P. O'Rourke, as a committee of the
Democratic Club. This statement said in
part:
"Wo contend that from every point of
view, from a consideration of the mem
bers to the far more Important one of
encouragement of the National unity and
enthusiasm our city has advantages over
every other.
"In local accommodations It far sur

DEMONSTRATION BY WARSHIPS.
. COLON". Jan. 12. It is-expected that
all the warships will leave Colon to
morrow for the purpose of making a
demonstration along the San Bias
coast. The vessels will land an at
tacking force the moment Informa
tion reaches them that Colombian
troops have crossed Into Panama ter
ritory. The outlook is apparently war
like. COLON. Jan. 12. United States Naval au
thorities here appear to be convinced, from
the tenor of the reports which are contin
ually brought In, that Colombia Is deter
mined to send an army to attack Panama.
The Panaman authorities yesterday re
ceived official confirmation of the fact that
the Colombian troops at Titumati number
at least 4000 men, under the command of
Generals Ortiz, Urlbe-Urlbe, Bustamente
and Novo. These troops are well armed
and supplied with ammunition, and have
four guns, three steam launches and a
large supply of cattle. The district is an
unproductive one, and the provisions and
other supplies which the troops possess
have been brought to them from other
places. The Government learned these
facts from a reliable informant at Titu
mati, who contrives to .send liews of
events from that distance to Colon by
means of signals and trustworthy messen
gers. News has also been received that the In
dian chief Inanquina returned yesterday to
Cartagena to interview the Colombian ofil
cers regarding a request made by them
for 300 cayuoces (small boats), to be used
by the army at Titumati in. crossing riv
ers.
DON'T WANT WAR
Secretary Root Says It Is All Bosh
to Talk of Conflict.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. Shortly af
ter the Cabinet meeting today Secre
tary Root issued the following state
ment regarding the Isthmian policy o
the Administration:
"The publication in various quarters
of news indicating that the Govern
ment is preparing to send troops to tho
Isthmus to carry on military opera
tions against Colombia, has been the
source of considerable annoyance to the
Executive and to the War Department.
No state of war exists between the two
countries; no Inauguration of hostili
ties is contemplated by this Govern
ment; no preparation for war is being
made. It is not believed ty the Presi
dent, nor by the Secretary of State,
that any occasion for the employment
of troops on the Isthmus is likely to
arise. They have used their utmost ef
forts to convince General Reyes and
the Bogota authorities of the friendly
intentions of this Government toward
Colombia, and of their rcaclness to use
their good offices in the settlement of
any questions in dispute between Co
lombia and Panama.
"It is difficult for them to believe
that the authorities in Bogota can be
so blinded by passion and prejudice as
to declare war against us; and even if
this ruinous step should be taken by
Colombia this Government would be in
no haste to respond to her challenge.
The President makes all possible allow
ance for the natural excitement in Bo
gota over a state of things for which
the Colombian Government is alone re
sponsible, and of which It was fully
forewarned. But they must sooner or
later recognize the irresistible force of
accomplished facts, and the sooner this
Is done the better for all parties. We
have done them no wrong; we would,
like to be of service to them; If they,
are wise, they will not put it out of
our power to help them by any act of
rashness and violence."
Reyes Has No Comment to Make.
NEW TORK. Jan. 12. General Reyes
was shown Secretary Root's statement
today, but said for the present he did not
care to make any response thereto.
General Reyes spoke In complimentary
terms of the reception extended to him
by the Administration. He said he had
decided that it was not his place to make
public the correspondence he had with
Secretary Hay.
