First Skirmish Over
Panama Treaty-.
FILIBUSTERING 18 CHECKED
President Leaves the Matter
Entirely to Congress,
WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY
Message States Tltat, Althongb Great
SacrlficeK May Be Necessary, the
Panama Water-tray Would In
calculably Benefit Colombia.
"WASHINGTON, June 27. The State
Department has received a dispatch from
Minister Beaupre, at Bogota, saying the
canal discussion has been opened in the
Colombian House by a Representative op
posed to the canal treaty who began by
calling for the documents relating to the.
treaty. The government objected on the
ground that It was not ready to present
the treaty to the House, but would do
so later. The government's position was
sustained by a vote of 3S to 5.
The extra session of Congress for the
discussion of the ratification of the canal
treaty convened on June 20. Joaquin
"Velfz Is president of the Senate, and Jose
Medina Calderon president of the Cham
ber of Deputies.
The following appears in the message of
the President respecting the canal treaty:
"To my government has been presented
this dilemma: Either it lets our sover
eignty suffer detriment, or renounces cer
tain pecuniary advantages to which, ac
cording to the opinion of many, we have
a right. In the first case, to consent to
the sacrifice of our sovereignty, and not
aspiring to a great idemnlflcatlon the Just
wishes of the Inhabitants of Panama a
large portion of Colombia would be satis
fied If the canal were opened, but the gov
ernment would be exposedto the charge
afterwards that it did not defend our sov
ereignty and the Interests of the nation.
"In trie second case, If the canal Is not
opened across Panama the government
will be accused of not having allowed Co
lombia that benefit which is regarded a9
the commencementof our aggrandizement.
I have .already allowed my wish to be
understood, that the canal should be
opened through our territory- I believe
that even at such cost of sacrifices we
ought not to put obstacles In the way of
such a great undertaking, because it is
an Immensely beneficial enterprise for
the country, and also because, once the
canal is opened by the United States, our
relations will become more Intimate and
extensive, while our Industry, commerce
and wealth will gain Incalculably.
"I leave the full responsibility for the
decision of this matter for Congress. I
do not Intend to make my opinion weigh
when I have given instructions to our
representative at "Washington; it has been
coupled with the order that the decision
of this Important matter must be left for
Qongress. After years. In which the
question has been treated In a vague way,
without precise conditions. It Is now pre
sented In a way to obtain practical and
positive results. It has been our Indis
putable triumph that the Senate and the
Government of the United States should
declare, notwithstanding every effort to
the contrary, the superiprlty of the Colom
bian route."

Emperor and Prince Heary Are la
Notable Party Breakfast TVItk
Admiral Cotton on the
Kearsarge.
KIEL. June 27. "When Emperor "Wil
liam was congratulated today at the
launching of the German armored cruiser
Roon, on his yacht Meteor winning the
American cup yesterday, ho replied:
"The American skippers brought me
luck. I would not have won It if they
had not been with me."
The Roon Is .the 11th of Germany's ar
mored cruisers. She was christened by
Countess von "Waldersoe. Rear-Admiral
Cotton, the Captains of the American
warships and the members of the United
States Embassy were In the Emperor's
party. The American squadron saluted
the new cruiser.
Emperor "William and Prince Henry of
Prussia took breakfast with Admiral Coi
ton on board the Kearsarge today. In
the party also were the German Admirals,
Ambassador Tower, Mr. Meyer, American
Ambassador to Italy; Chancellor von Bu
low, Admiral von Tlrpltz, the principal
members of the Emperor's household, all
the members of the United States Em
bassy, all tho captains and executive of
ficers of the American ships and Admiral
Cotton's staff, Cornelius Vanderbllt, R. W.
Goelet, J. H. Smith. James Lawrence and
Edmund Baylies. Admiral Cotton thanked
the Emperor for the cordial manner In
which the squadron had been received.
Four groups of small yachts. In a light
air, started today on a race over a 15-mlle
course.
Admiral Cotton referred to the hospital
ity that had been shown to the Americans
in Gernfan waters. He said that since
he had met the Emperor he understood
why his subjects, were so devoted to him.
The feeling of the Admiral and his men
was that wherever His Majesty led the
Germans would follow. The Admiral
then proposed the health of the Emperor.
Replying. Emperor "William said he
hoped, whatever Impressions the Admiral
and his officers had received they had
been no more than they expected. Eight
years had elapsed since the Imperial en
sign was first flown from an American
warship, the New York. He remem
bered the agreeable Incidents of that visit,
and now he was to add these to the things
that were not forgotten. The only thing
was that the visits were too far apart.
He was convinced that whenever the Stars
and Stripes and the Royal standard met
they should together symbolize peace and
civilization.
The Emperor then called for three
cheers for the President and people of the
United States.
At the conclusion of the breakfast the
Emperor Informed Ambassador Tower
that he wished to give a medal to each of
the three marines who stood behind his
chair.
"Would there be any impropriety, your
excellency. In my doing so?" said the Em
peror.
"I am sorry to say that our regulations
do not permit It." replied Mr. Tower.
"Then," said the Emperor, "I would like
to give them watches. Just as souvenirs."
"That, elr," answered the Ambassador,
"Is also impossible. They; equally with
myself, are servants of the" country, and
could not accept.
"I cannot even give them a pencil?" con
tinued the Emperor.
"No. Your Majesty." said Mr. Tower.
"Then," said Emperor William. "I will
tell them that I have the disposition to
do so." .
Admiral Cotton, after the Emperor left
the ship, told the three marines. In the
presence of the officers of the ship, what
the Emperor had said.
ALL CREDIT DUE ROOSEVELT.
Germnn Press Says the Friendship of
the Americans Is a Xcvr Things
BERLIN, June 27. The newspapers of
Berlin print the speeches of Emperor
William and Ambassador Tower at the.
Kiel banquet last night mostly without
comment. The National Zeltung regards
them as important demonstrations for the
promotion of German-American relations.
The Tageblatt thinks the speeches breathe
cordiality, sympathy and restored confi
dence, but the paper reverts to the Cogh
lan and Dewey Incidents to show that tho
"friendly spirit of the American Navy for
Germany" is a new thing, and Is due to
President Ttoosevelfs energetic enter
prise. The Tageblatt also says it con-
siders It singular that Ambassador Tower
mentioned the Emperor s gift of plaster
casts to Harvard without alluding to the
statue of Frederick the Great.
The Kreuz Zeltung prints a letter from
Kiel which describes the American sail
ors as "young, slender, sinewy fellows,
with intelligent faces, but in appearance
and bearing exhibiting a carelessness un
known among us.
The writer of the letter adds: "They
are not careful In giving and returning
military salutes, even toward their own
superiors. Their behavior would cause
a Prussian Corporal's hair to stand on
end."

London Press So Interprets Speeches
of Chamberlain and Balfour.
LONDON, June 27. All the morning
papers make Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain's and Premier Balfour's speeches
at the Constitutional Club the subject of
leading articles which follow party lines.
The most noticeable feature of the oc
casion is acknowledged to have been the
announced harmony between the two
Cabinet Ministers on the questions which
many expect win prove tne rock on
which the Unionist party will remain di
vided. The Colonial Secretary's careful
statement that Mr. Balfour's leadership
Is essential to union and the success of
the Unionist party, followed later by the
statement that a system of preferential
tariffs Is the only system by which the
empire can be kept together,' is taken to
mean that there can no longer remain
any doubt that the Premier and the
i Colonial Secretary have agreed on the
tuture policy. The opposition -papers re
joice, asserting that the difference which
Is known to exist inside the Cabinet
ranks, coupled with the opposition of the
working people in the country, must bring
defeat to the advocates of Mr. Chamber
lain's policy when a general election takes
place.

"There is a game," the speaker con
tinued, "which Is too risky, namely, re
taliation upon America, our greatest
friend and most valuable customer."

CABINET AT CRISIS
France Is Badly Disrupted by
Religious Bill.
SENATE DOWNS G0VRNMENT
Premier Combes and ex-Premier
Waldeck-Roasseaa Engage in a
Spirited Debate on Ending of
Congregational Schools.
PARIS. June 27. In the Senate'today the
debate on the government project requir
ing communities to build schools In place
of those of "the religious congregations
brouirht out a divergence of views from
Prefnler Combes and ex-Premier Waldeck-
Rousseau. the litter re-entering the de
bates for the first time in months. M.
Combes supported the law, and M. Wal-deck-Rousseau,
who followed, pointed out
the enormous cost Involved, nearly S2o,ow,-
000. and urged caution, lest the benefits of
the law of 1S01 be checked. The faenate
decided to discuss the law In detail, thus
constituting a partial check to the gov
ernment plan to limit the discussion of the
measure as a whole.
The .reappearance of M. Waldeck-Rous-
seau aroused intense Interest, and his op
position to the policy of his successor a3
president of the Council created a dis
tinct sensation. His speech, Immediately
following that of Premier Combes, em
phasized the divergence of the opinions of
tho present and ex-Premier, and, as If to
give approval to M. Waldeck-Rousseau'3
view, the Senate voted in support of his
contention. This, following the narrow
governmentmajorlty In the Chamber yes
terday, led to much excited comment re
gardlng the permanency of the Combes
Cabinet.
The President df the Council in his
speech gave no evidence of any Intention
to retire, but stated that the. Minister did
not Intend to permit minor reverses to
precipitate a Cabinet crisis.
M. Waldeck-Rousseau s opposition as
sumed added significance because of its
being made on the eve of the Summer ad.
Journment of Parliament, the present ses
sion of which only remains to M. Combes
to secure the passage of the remainder of
the measures making up the general pol
icy of the government. In connection
with the disbanding of the congregations.
three important measures are still before
the Senate:
First, providing for the nonauthorlza-
tlon of female orders; second, forbidding
ex-members of congregations to teach
during a period of three years, and, third.
providing that lay schools shall take the
place of those under control of congrega
tions which have been closed.
The last mentioned was the subject of
today's debate. The Premier, In his
speech, supported strongly the necessity
for lay schools, and denied the claims
that the establishment of such schools
would Involve enormous cost. He com
plained that whenever It was sought to
carry out the school law, the opposition
organized riots and disorders, and finally
declared himself strong In the confidence
that the country and the law were be
hind him.
M. "Waldeck-Rousseau spoke with much
vehemence. Referring to the law of 1901,
he said that measure had precise and def
inite objects, but this fact seemed to have
been entirely lost sight of, in proof of
which he asserted that the Government
-was trying to obtain results which the
law never contemplated. It was Impos
sible, he said, to carry out In a few
months a law passed after 30 years' ef
fort, affecting thousands of persons.
"I do not blame the energy of partisans
whose policy Is all or nothing," he con
tinued, "but what is needed Is the appli
cation of the law, not less firm, but more
patiently and more moderately. We did
not hold that we settled by the legislation
of 1S01 all "the difficulties arising in an
old country like France from the relations
between the states and religious fac
tions."
Speaking to M. Combes, the ex-Premier
said:
"If you want the country to follow you.
you must Justify decrees against religions
by regularly voted laws. I have protested
too strongly -against secret court-martials
to approve the secrecy of your proced
ure.
The latter remark is taken to refer to
the plan to secure the adoption of the
measure as a whole, without discussion in
detail.
The Senate passed three sections of the
measure, and the debate was then post
poned until Tuesday.

slon he said that there was absolutely no
crime proven, and that In his opinion the
accused could not be held.
Final Pleas of Lawyers.
F. P. Mays, who also appeared for the
defense, said that If a crime had -been
committed against the Government, it
was by the homestead entrymen and their
witnesses, who had given assumed names
in each of the six final proofs In question.
and thus imposed on Miss Ware, who, he
declared, was their innocent victim. Pos
itively nothing had been developed which
connected Mr. McKlnley with the fraud
in even the most remote degree. He de
clared that the Government's efforts had
failed absolutely, and that nothing re
mained but to discharge the defendants.
Mr. Hall closed for the Government in
. a. forcible and dramatic speech, which oc
cupled a quarter of an hour. He said the
case in question was a conspiracy to se
cure valuable timber lands for specula
tive purposes by covering them up with
alleged homestead entries. The lands not
only were not subject to homestead, but
the men purporting to make such entries
had no existence, and were the fictions
of McKlnley. and that Miss Ware execut
ed fraudulent proof papers, .forged the
names of claimants and witnesses and
acknowledged the same, all at the dicta
tlon of McKlnley. r
At ons point In his speech Judge O'Day
interrupted to ask if the intention of the
Government was not to- give the public
domain to settlers. "Yes, the Govern
ment is willing and ready to. give it
away." retorted air. uau, oui nui w
timber thieves. Not to men like McKln
ley. who seek to acquire it by fraud and
sell It to other speculators."
Commissioner Sl'aden Decides.
At the close of Mr. Hall's speech. Com
missioner Sladen rendered his decision.
which was as follows:
Gentlemen I am thoroguhly convinced from
the evidence before us here that a crime naa
been committed aralnst the Government in ac
quiring title to these land. This Is shown by
the evidence of Mr. Veatcb, the lores, ranger.
who has resided In the vicinity of the lands
for 40 years ar.l has been over them weekly
for the four Summers past: by the liveryman
from Cottage Grove, who has resided there for
50 years; by Mr. Lurch, the merchant, by
Frank Mclntyre, by Mr. Jennings, by all the
witnesses who have lived where these entry
men are said to iave lived. They testify that
they never saw nor heard of. any one of
these persons and that no such Improvements
exist on the land as are described In the final
proofs. They aiso swear that the topography
of the country Is such that no such Improve
ments could possibly have been made. There,
Is no doubt In my mind that fraud has been
committed.
I canno. but think from the evidence that
Horace G. McKlnley Is connected with that
fraud. The evidence of his connection wua
the deeds which have been nut in evidence 13
of such a character as to convince me that
he must have had guilty knowledge of the at
tcmnted frud unon the Government in these
land transactions, and I therefore feel that I
must hold him to appear before tne grana
Jury.
I regret to ear that I must also noia iiiss
Ware. Her youth and inexperience convince
me. however, that she could not have origin
ated the fraud In the case, which have been
presented to the court. I feel satisfied myself
that she was under the. direction maniresuy oi
those who were older In years and "mora expe
rienced.
I must hold them both for their appearanco
before the grand Jury under good and suffi
cient bonds.
Unless the Government has objections to
offer. I will hold that they remain under the
bonds the same as now, hold them, namely
each.
Handwriting Expert Testifies.
The morning session was devoted to the
testimony of John A. Wesco, uuy iiua
and. Clyde Lloyd-
Mr. Wesco's examination had to ao en
tirely with expert testimony as to the
signatures on homestead applications and
proofs, and certain interlineations in a
deed offered in evidence.
He was shown the signature of Robert
Simnson attached to the deed to a tract
of land transferred to Edwin Hotoson,
alone with the writing of Horace G. Mo
Klnley, Miss Marie Ware and Clyde
Lloyd, and asked to give his opinion as to
who made certiln Interlineations. Mr.
"Wesco, after an examination that lasted
several minutes, said that the interline,
atlons appeared to be those of McKlnley.
On examining the reputed homestead ap
plication of James E. Warwick, wltn
Droofs and affidavits attached, Mr. Wesco
gave It as his opinion that Miss Ware had
signed tho names purporting to be those
of the applicant and witnesses. The same
was the case with all the applications
and other papers submitted for examina
tion. The signatures all appeared to him
to have been written by Miss Ware.
Only In one Instance was Mr. Wesco not
sure as to tho Identity of the signature,
and that was with relation to that of
Georxe E. Thompson.
As for the others, Tupman, Warwick,
Carlson, Heme and Watklns, he was mor
ally sure, from the standpoint of an ex
pert offering expert testimony, that the
writing, was that of Miss Ware. It was
evident, Mr. Wesco said, from the slml
larlty noticeable between several letters,
denoting In appreciable measure a same
ness of movement In fashioning the let
tens.
Guy Huff, a distinguished bartender, of
Eugene, who wears white socks and has
all the hall marks of a village cut-up,
was next called. The prosecution couldn't
do much with Mr. Huff, and Attqrney
Hall seemed glad to let loose, although he
was a Government witness. The- defense
showed him marked consideration, h6w
ever, and questioned him not at all. His
testimony had something to do with the
signing of names to homestead appllca
tlons. but he denied signing any but his
own. He asserted that he and Mr. Mc
Klnley had not fallen out, and that there
fore Mr. McKlnley had done no wrong so
far as he knew.
Clyde Lloyd, who picked up- the hot end
and shows some animus toward Miss
Ware and McKlnley, was recalled for a
short time and testified further concern
ing the relations of himself and McKln
ley. With his testimony the Government
rested its case, and an adjournment was
taken until 2 o'clock.
The action of Commissioner Sladen is
regarded as a great victory for Special
Inspector Greene and United States At
torney Hall. Mr. Greene has worked for
months In unearthing land frauds In Ore
gon, and to his ceaseless and untiring ef
forts the commitment of Miss Ware and
McKlnley is largely due, as the evidence
against them was secured by him. The
case was admirably conducted by Mr,
Hall, and his reputation as a prosecutor
has been greatly enhanced by this victory.
He feels well satisfied with the result, and
is confident that the defendants will be
indicted by the grand Jury.
Both Miss Ware and Mr. McKlnley re
fuse to discuss the situation, but their
attorneys seem sanguine of establishing
their Innocence, should the case go to the
Federal Court.
The matter will come before the grand
Jury early In October, and, should a true
bill be returned against the defendants.
the case will be tried before Judge Bel
linger and the petit Jury. In the mean
time, the principals will be at liberty un
der their bonds.
The Federal officers are greatly elated
over the advantage gained, as this state.
according to their statements, Is a hotbed
of land fraud and corruption, and the fate
of Miss Ware and Mr. McKlnley will have
a wholesome effect on other speculators.
