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, who responded to the toast, "The

"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

"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

BTTSSIA AND UNITED STATES.
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.

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-

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.

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

In Ilocos Norte. Am having him followed
closely. Am satisfied he can accomplish
little. With the exception Indicated every

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

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. It Is thought
