THEM DO AS IN 1832 Each State Could Thus Local ize the Campaign.-- PANAMA MATTER CONSIDERED Secretary of the Treasury, In Chicago Address, Shows Roosevelt Did Not- Inspire or Encour age Rebellion. CHICAGO. Feb. 12. Lincoln's birthday was observed In Chicago tonight by the Marquette Club with a banquet and pub lic meeting at the Auditorium. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw was the principal speaker. He talked on the "Democratic Quadrennlel Search for an Issue,'" and said In part: Quadrennially, since I can remember, the Democratic party has searched, not always wisely, but ever diligently, for an fcsue on which a campaign might "be won. "While It has been prolific of measures for retarding commerce, and for checking the well-nigh Irresistible Impulse of the American people for growth and development, and for antag onizing such events as tend to Increase our International Influence, never, In my recollec tion, has It Bought to formulate a wise, pro gressive policy. The campaign of 1004 cannot be fought upon the money qucsUon or any Issue growing out of our recent war with Spain. Imperialism, which was sounded by the Democratic party as a note of warning and alarm has been as effectively silenced as It was In 1S6 and 1672. Neither can the forthcoming campaign be fought upon any phase of the trust question. It will be somewhat difficult to get an Issue out of the tariff. There is considerable talk about high and low protective tariff schedules. Dut this does not Involve a principle, and can not be made an Issue. The only other possible Issue that can be carved from the tariff Is the ' proposition that our present protective policy shelters trusts and monopolies. Our political opponents have rung the changes on this zo long, and recommended the removal of duties from trust-made goods until the trusts are destroyed with such continued ve hemence that a reaffirmation of their position can scarcely be made the paramount, though It may become a prominent Issue In tbe next campaign. The American people by this time ought to understand that any tariff policy that will destroy a monopoly will forbid the crea tion of a competitor for the monopoly, and will deprive labor of much profitable employ ment. Just now public attention Is being cen tered upon the Independence of Panama, and the, acquisition of a right of way for an lnter oeanic canal. The Administration of Presi dent Roosevfelt has been criticised by some, condemned by others, and exonerated by not a few of the opposition party. Permit, there fore, a brief review of the situation. No Issue on Panama. First, this country is on record In support of the proposition that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of Inalienable rights, a declaration of Independence Is Justi fiable. We date our National existence from ruch an event. More recently we embarked in a great altruistic war in defense of a people who had rebelled against a mother country, and, at no small expense to ourselves In blood and treasure, we forced Spain to relinquish Its sovereignty, and the Republic or Cuba holds its place on the map of the world as evidence that the great Republic still believes in tbe principles promulgated at Its birth. This po sition is in strictest harmony with Its corol lary that a government actually of the people, actually for the people, and actually by the people, no cause can arise to Justify a sep aration of states. The charge Is made that this Government encouraged. If It did not Inspire, the rebellion. It did neither. The opposition assumes that because the President did foreknow, he also aid predestinate. Everybody knew, and being eognlrant of current events, the President promptly recognised his obligation to protect American Interests and to fulfill the obliga tions imposed by our treaties. No campaign material can' be found In the transaction. All that America requires is that this Government lhall be honorable, and it has been more than honorable. It has offered to buy and to pay liberally for what some of the best authori ties on internaUonnl law believes It has long pos08sed. If 'I were to advise the opposition. I should recommend the readoption of the resolution passed In 1832. at the first Democratic Na tional Convention. It reads as follows: Resolved. That It be recommended to the several delegations in this convention that. In place of a general address from this body, each delegation make such declaration, by address, report, or otherwise, to their respective con itltuentf, of the objects, proceedings and result of this meeting as It may deem expedient. Under that resolution the campaign can be localized. The manufacturers of New England can be promised free raw material and the producers of iron In Michigan can bo "prom ised a protective tariff on ore. and farmers of the Northwest a tariff on wool and hides. The millers of Minneapolis can be assured cheap wheat from Canada, and the farmers can be consoled with the promise that their market hall not be disturbed. The last Democratic itate platform In Massachusetts, declaring In favor of the retention of the Hth and 18th amendments, can be made to do good service In New England: Maryland can be carried oa the strength of recent utterances of the Dem ocratic Senator from that state, that the Cau casian race must govern; while Mississippi can be made stronger than ever by reiterating the speeches of their newly Inaugurated Gov ernor, that education demoralizes and crim inalizes the negro. From this platform the discontented everywhere could be appealed to in terms they will understand. High-priced wheat and high-priced cattle for the farmer, and aheap meat and cheaper bread for the la. borer, would no longer possess a seeming in. consistency. If the Issue were to be candidates, there would be no campaign. The administration of the last seven years has been progressive; It has been honorable; It has been wise; It has been consistent, and it has been clean. The present Chief Executive is the embodiment of all that Is American, and the people revere him; he has defended their every interest, and the people honor him; he has taken them Into his every confidence, and the people love him. Be the issue what it may. the result of the next election Is assured. The people will re turn to the White House that scholar among all scholar?, that prince among all Americans, and that statesman among those who have helped to make this country what It is, and to win for it the respect of all nations Theo dore Roosevelt.

MOODY SPEAKS AT NEW YORK Far Eastern War Used to Illustrate the Need of a Great Navy. NEW YORK. Feb. 12. Lincoln's birth day was celebrated by the Republican Club, of New York, by a banquet at the "Waldorf, attended by 500 guests, 100 of them women. Secretary of the Navy Moody, who responded to the toast, "The Navy," In commencing his speech referred to the Japanese-Russian war. He said: "Unhappily there Is war upon the sea. We are upon friendly terms with both the nations who are now at war. "We are atttacbed to each by a bond of peculiar sympathy. The one nation endeared Itself .to the hearts of the American people by an expression of its good will In the days of our eore trial. Toward the other, we occupy almost the position of foster mother, because It was our Navy that broke through the door of that Eastern excluslvcness, and let In the flood of sun light of modern civilization. "There never was a better time to con sider the subject given me. There never was a day when it appeared more clearly that a country should hnve Its navy, ready Instantly for war, and there never was a country which has had more lessons on the Importance of power on the ea than our own. "We won our Independence on the sea." Legal Holiday for First Time. DENVER, Feb. 12. Today, for the first time, Lincoln's birthday was observed as a legal holiday In Colorado.

Her Traditional Friendship Rests on a Sclid Basis. Kansas City Star. The discussion of the attitude of the United States toward the possible bellig erents In the Far East leads the Louis, vllle. Courier-Journal to attack the the ory that Russia has been the traditional friend of America. The Courier-Journal says that Catherine II offered George IH an army of Cossacks "to crush the Amer ican patriots." In the Civil "War it as serts that the Russian squadron visited New York, not to prevent European rec ognition of the Confederacy, as is gener ally supposed, but to keep the vessels out of reach of a French . fleet. Nobody questions the fact that Russia was the friend of England In the Revolu tion. At that time the Muscovite empire was under obligations to Great Britain for support In a war with Turkey. Cath erine, therefore, promised her aid to King George. Taking her at her word, the king applied for SO.fcjO soldiers. The request was long considered, but Anally refused, prob ably on the advice of Frederick the Great England then fell back upon the Hessians. However, the Russian government con tinued hostile to the cause of Independ ence, naturally enough, since autocracy Is menaced by rebellion. The American envoy was not received at St. Petersburg, and when several minor powers were dis posed to Join with France in recognizing American independence, Russia refused. The government even went so far as to assure Great Britain that it would not recognize the United States until the new republic had been acknowledged by Eng land. As to this hostility there Is no dis pute. But the Courier-Journal's onslaught against the traditional theory of Russia's attitude in the Civil "War will occasion surprise. It Is so fashionable to bowl over accepted beliefs that a certain sense of humiliation must be felt In holding that the destructive evidence in this case seems hardly conclusive. There can bo no doubt that at the time of the visit of the Rus sian ships to New York in the Autumn of 15C3, the country was highly elated. It was generally assumed that the sending of the squadron was an act of friendship and many persons believed, though with out warrant, that it was a direct menace to France. There can be no doubt, also, that the French regarded it In this light. Secretary Seward felt impelled to reassure the Paris government. "The report of an alliance by us with Russia for European war," he wrote to Minister Dayton. "Is an absurdity." He added significantly: "Everybody knows that the United States are the habitual well-wishers of France, as they are of Russia. Everybody knows that Russia Is a well-wisher of the United States, but everybody Is not satisfied that France Is a well-wisher of the United States." That the Secretary was not bluffing In what he said as to Russia's friendship Is proven by a private letter from his son who was then assistant secretary, to Seward's biographer, Frederic Bancroft The younger Seward assured Mr. Ban croft that at the outbreak of the war the Russian minister to the United States, Mr. Stoeckl. used his utmost Influence with his friends among the Southern leaders to keep the seceding states In the Union It is known, too, that in ISO. the United States Government was informed from St. Petersburg of the hostile agreement of England and France to act in concert, and that 1E62 Russia refused Napoleon's suggestion of Intervention. The Courier Journal says that in 1853 the danger of the recognition of the Confederacy was no longer acute. But on October 6 of that year Charles Sumner was writing to John Bright: "At this moment I am more so licltious about Franco and England than about our military affairs. Foreign in tervention would probably provoke a uni versal war." At that time Sumner be lieved that the Russian fleet had-come to America to avoid the French. But a few years later he was writing to Bright about "the amity of Russia, manifested especially during our recent troubles." It seems fairly plain that unless Seward, Sumner and the North generally were fooled. Russia was a friend to the Union in the Civil "War. Northwestern People In New York. NEW, YORK, Feb. 12.

BIT IN HIS TEETH Speaker Cannon Runs Away With Precedent in House, PENSION BILLS ARE RUSHED South Carolina Member Interposes an Objection, but Colleagues Soon Persuade Him to,Do Pleas ure of the Chair. ASHLNGTON, Feb. 12. Speaker Can non today took the bit In his teeth and ran completely away with legislative precedent in the House. Incidentally, he broke all previous records In the dispatch of private pension bills. Under hl3 guid ance 220 of thesa measures of relief were passed by the House In 15 minutes. Nearly the whole of this time was consumed In UNITED committee of the whole. The House passed the bills X'en bloc" under unanimous con sent, which the Speaker himself asked for. A tribute to the memory of Abraham Lincoln was the burden of the Invocation of Chaplain Couden on the convening of the House. The House agreed as its first business to adjourn until Monday at the conclusion of the session today. Private pension bills were then taken up. When the committee of the whole had taken favorable action on 320 private -pension bills. Speaker Cannon inaugurated an entirely new proceedure to expedite their passage. The usual custom has been for the clerks to report each bill by number and title, the Speaker then putting the question for its engroasment and third readlrig when the title was again reported by the clerks. The question, on the passage of the bill, was then put by the Speaker, and the result of the vote an nounced, which Invariably was for the passage of the bill. Today, Speaker Can non followed this proceedure with the first bill. He suddenly stopped and ad dressing the House, made this explana tion: "A large number of. bills have been re ported from the committee of the whole with the recommendation that they do pass without amendment. Gentlemen, you are aware that the committee of the whole of the House has for some hours had these bills under consideration. Is there a desire on the part of any member that any one of these bills, recommended without amendment, should be considered separately?" Pausing for a moment. Cannon con tinued: "The chair propounds that query with a view to asking the House for unanimous consent that all of these respective bills be considered as read the third time and passed, upon the reading of their number by the clerk." After another pause, the Speaker re peated with great deliberation and em phasis on each word: "Is there objec tion?" Another pause elapsed when the an nouncement came amid much applause: "The chair hears none." Over 100 bills were disposed of In about five minutes. The bills with amendments were then reached, when the chair put the same question. Finley Makes Objection. Flnley (Dem., S. C.) objected, with the statement that he did not consider this a mode of proceedure for a legislative body. "The objection Is perfectly proper," re plied Speaker Cannon. "This method of proceedure could only be done by unani mous consent and the chair has been very careful fully to Inform the House, and It is quite within the power of any member to object." Then, with a note of disap pointment In his voice, he concluded: "Objection Is made. The clerk will re port the first bill." The first bill contained an amendment, and when the clerk announced that fact the Speaker inquired facetiously: "Does the gentleman from South Caro lina desire to hear the amendment read?' "I do." replied Flnley. "Well." continued the Speaker, "the gentleman does not know what the na ture of the amendment Is, neither does the chair." He then insisted on the reading of the entire amendment, and when this was done announcement of the third reading and passage of this bill was noticeably slow. 4n the meantime. Chairman Louden; slager (N. Y.), of the pension committee, and scvoral of Finley's colleagues went to his seat to remonstrate with him for tho objection. Cannon Finally Has His Way. After a few minutes Robinson (Ind.), in terrupted the proceedings, and said the wished to repeat the previous request for unanimous consent. The Speaker put tbe request again and no objection was made, whereupon the entire remaining bills were declared passed without even reading their numbers, and all previous records of pension legislation by the House o Representatives were complete ly eclipsed. Grosveaor (O.) made, what he declared with some heat, was bis last attempt to get a day sot for the consideration of the bill creating a Joint commission to con sider the question of ship subsidy. th request was that this matter be made a special order for February 20. After sev eral objections had been made and-withdrawn, Hardwlck (Dem., Go.) objected because Bartlett had objected when the request was made previously, and was not in bis seat at this time. At 3:10 P. M. the House adjourned. CONSIDERS CLAIM OF EX-QUEEN Senate Urged by Mitchell to, Pay Llliuokalani $200,000. WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. The Senate to day listened to the reading by Carmack of a speech, prepared by Morgan In oppo sition to the President's policy with ref erence to the Isthmian canal and also considered the till appropriating $200,000 to ex-Queen Llliuokalani, of HawaiL Spooncr moved to recommit the measure, but the vote on this motion failed to de velop a quorum, so the Senate was forced to adjourn. When the Senate convened, Martin pre sented the credentials of his colleague, Daniel, as Senator from Virginia, for the term beginning March 4. 1S05. The chair appointed Heyburn to read Washington's farewell address to the Senate on Mon day, February 22. Morgan's resolution asking for Informa tion from the Attorney-General as to what steps are being taken to acquire the prop erty of the new Panama Canal Company was then taken up, and Morgan was rec ognized to speak on it. The speech was read by Carmack as Morgan's throat was in such a condition as to render it impos sible for him to deliver It. . The speech was an arraignment of the policy of the President in connection with the Panama canal project. When Car- STATES MINISTER'S RESIDENCE AT SEOUL, COREA. mack concluded, the Senate went Into ex ecutive session for the consideration of the Panama canal treaty. The bill providing for the payment of $200,000 to ex-Queen Llliuokalani. formerly of Hawaii, in satisfaction of all claims, "legal or equitable," was then taken up, and Blackburn addressed the. Senate In support of the measure. Spooner took the position that the ex Queen had nointerest in the crown lands, as the title to those lands was never vested in her. t " The debate 'teas participated In by Mitch ell, .who advocated the passage of the bill as an act of grace. Piatt (Copri.) proposed an amendment striking out all w:ords In the bill recogniz ing any claim, and he supported the amendment by saying' that if any pay meat was to be made. It should be put on the ground of a "mere naked gratuity or graft." He said, however, that even if amended as suggested he would not sup port the bill. Piatt's amendment was agreed to, but the' amendment of the committee fixing the appropriation at $200,000 was voted down, the figure being thus left blank. Spooner then moved to recommit the measure. On this motion, the vote "was 16 to 19, 11 less "than a quorum.' When the doors were reopened, the bill ratifying the treaty with the Indians of Red Lake Reservation, in Minnesota, for the cession of 250.000 acres of their land, was laid before the Senate, and. on 'mo tion of Nelson, the House amendments were concurred In, which passed the bill. The Senate then adjourned, at 4 P. M. until Monday. Confirmed as Washington Postmaster WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. The Senate to day in executive session confirmed the nomination of Postmaster Hugh Eldridge at Belllngham, Wash. Trainman Positive Light Was Out. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Feb. 12. Fire man Moon, of the Pert Marquette train, that crashed Into a passenger train at East Paris, December 26, when 22 persons were killed, testified at the Inquest today with great posltivcness that there was a white light displayed at McCord's Station when his train rushed by the nlghl of the wTeck. Agent Booth, at McCords, testi fied Wednesday that he received orders from the dispatcher to stop Moon's train, and give Its crew new orders, and that he set the light, and when the train did not stop, found that the light had been extinguished by the wind. WiNE OF RDU8 786K South Hill Street. Los Axgeles, Calif.,. June 13, 1903. I heartily endorse Wine of Cardni, for I have found it tha only medicine which helped me and finally cured me. I suffered for years with pains in the lower regions, and at times I would havo dirzy spells and would have to go to bed and stay for a few day. I was nervous, irritable and always felt cross and out of sorts. This condition kept on growing worse in spite of the fact that I was taking different remedies to try to get well, but eventually I took Wine of Cardni and that brought me back to health and strength. I feel like a different woman now and have not known what it was to be sick for several months. I gladly praise your medicine, as it certainly deserves it. FREED MEN IN JAIL Philippine Mutineers Also Armed Prisoners. THEY ARE NOW HARD PRESSED Governor Wright Reports That He Expects to Capture .Them at Ones-Revolt of Little Consequence. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. The following cablegram was received this afternoon In the Bureau of Insular Affairs, giving fur ther Information relating to the recent de sertions from the Philippine Constabulary: "Referring to cablegram from this of fice on February 9, re affair Vigaar am now able to give further accurate Infor mation from Colonel W. S. Cptt, Assistant Chief of the Philippines Constabulary. It is certain that only the detachment which has been stationed some months at Ara yat, Pampanga, revolted. The detachment was composed of a Corporal and 16 men. They forced eight other Constabularies to go with them. The latter returned next morning to VIgan with their arms and ammunition. It 13 certain that none of the other Ilocanos was Involved, and the dis satisfaction was confined to the detach ment named. "The mutineers seized the barracks and thus obtained 45 Springfield carbines, six Colt revolvers and.COOO rounds of ammuni tion. They liberated and armed the pris oners in the Jail, 21 in number, but two refused to go with them and five have since returned. "Have made careful Inquiries through both native and official American sources, and find Constabulary in all provinces south of Ilocanos are loyal. Wires south have been operating bad ly for the three last days and only able to get occasional telegrams, but enough has come through to show that mutineers are being crowded from all quarters. A Constabulary from Abra, Lepanto, Bontere, Union, scout compan ies from Solomagu on the north, as well as a squadron of cavalry, are In pursuit Am expecting advices as to results on Saturday. "Corporal of detachment corrupted by RIcarte. There is considerable activity on the part of bands of Montalon and Fell zardo, who are being vigorously pursued. "Find RIcarte was in Manila for about 10 days, then went to Rizal and then to Neuva EcIJa. He had a large number of revolutionary proclamations and blank commissions for the usual number of Gen erals. He visited Mexico, Neuva EcIJa, probably Arayat, where General Alex andrino lives. The Corporal of the III canos' detachment stationed there was constantly with Alexandrlno. I am In clined to think he was disaffected through his Influence. "Letter from RIcarte intercepted by Con stabulary secret service men written from Mexico last November, shows he had met with little encouragement up to. that time, and complained of coldness of form er compatriots. He is now reported to be In Ilocos Norte. Am having him followed closely. Am satisfied he can accomplish little. With the exception Indicated every thing quiet as usual. WRIGHT."

Surrogate Thom as, on the application of counsel for the heirs of the late Marcus Daly, has re versed the decision of the appraiser who assessed the estate of the Montana mill ionaire for the New York Inheritance tax and declared that two sums, $1,300,000 and 5250,000, respectively, were not subject to taxation.

He was widely known throughout the South as a lawyer .and statesman. An Italian Nation Builder. New York press. Though Zanardelli. the dead Italian Minister, won fame as a soldier In the wars against the Austrians, and though the part he played politically both dur ing the formative period of the Italian kingdom and since that time has not been inconsiderable, he will probably be longost remembered by his country men for the commercial and penal codes of which he was the author. Znn erardelli waa one of the last survivors of the builders of modern Italy, that remarkable band of men who set .them selves the herculean task of erecting1 a- nation out of the disordered frag ments of states which for a thousand years had. cumbered . the peninsula, melancholy ruins of "the splendor that was Rome." s The large majority of Zanardelll's fellow laborers in that great task passed away before him, and though here and there a few still remain who played prominent parts in the stirring years from 1849 to 1861, his death em phasizes the fact that the first chap ter In the history of modern Italy is closed. It was a glorious chapter, full of high hopes and aspirations, which have, alas! been scantily realized. Men like Zanardelli must have closed their eyes In sorrow thinking" of the Italy they dreamed of and of the Italy they left. But thougn ideals were not made realities, the nation builders left behind them much that was enduring" and much that was excellent. They lived not In vain. The Zebra as a Domestic Animal. Success. It Is reported that a systematic attempt Is to be made by the British government to domesticate the zebra for use in its South African possessions. It Is proposed to catch large numbers of wild zebras and allow them to breed in captivity, training the young as draught animals. No at tempt, apparently, will be made to tame and train the captured animals them selves, although this has often been ac complished with selected individuals. The zebra proper Is very difficult to tame, but allied varieties, such as the South African quagga, are more easily domesticated. At the Cape, 20 years since, these were often seen working with draught horses. Still better success has rewarded a recent attempt to cross the zebra with the horse and the ass. The resulting hybrids, which are called "zebrolds." are lively but docile, and are easily trained. They have unusual muscular strength and their immunity to the bite of the tsetse fly, which Is fatal to the horse, makes them especially valua ble for African service.
