Panama Canal Affairs Discussed at
White House Conference.
Washington, Dec. 19. — President
Roosevelt tonight took up the matter of
the Isthmian canal scandals as devel
oped by debate in the senate during the
past three days. He is determined to
prevent further criticism of the char
acter put forward by Senators Tillman,
Culberson and others.
Senators A lli
son and Hale, both members of the ap
propriations committee, were present.
The president made it plain to Mr.
Sbonta that the literary bureau in
charge of Secretary Bishop must be at
once discontinued, and Mr. Biabop con
fine his service purely to administra
tive matters. He also discussed the
advisability of reducing hie salary from
$10,000 now paid to $6,000, or some
other moderate earn.
I t was also made apparent to Chair
man Sbonta that if be still bae an offi
cial connection with the Clover Leaf
railroad, it mast be severed immedi
ately. Senator Tillm an declared that
Mr. Sbonta ia still active president of
the system, and neither M r. Sbonta nor
any of the administration senators have
entered a denial of the declaration.
’
The president further gave M r.
Shonta mnch advice regarding the con
duct of affairs on the isthmus. I t is
prescribed in the president’ s order that
the canal commission must leave at
once for that niece. •
The bill appropriating $11,000,000
for the canal work, paaaad by the sen
ate
on
Saturday,
provides
that,
within 90 days the secretary of the
treasury most furnish estimates to the
senate and bonee appropriations com
mittees Of all salaries paid those em
ployed on canal work, except laborers
and unskilled workmen. This feature
of the bill was discussed with Senators
Allison and Hale.
I t ia believed that many reforma w ill
be instituted in the administration of
the canal before another appropriation
is requested from congees. This work
of reform mast begin at once, as Secre
tary Taft lays the $11,000,000 new be
ing obtained w ill last no longer than
A pril 1 at the ontside.
In the meantime Senator Tillm an
w ill begin a strong agitation after the
holiday receas for a thorough investiga
tion of the entire canal situation. H e
w ill be opposed by the Republicans,
but supported by tbe Democrats. Even
some of the Republicans favor an in
quiry, and M r. Tillm an threatens to
cause much trouble unless matters are

at that rate the institution would have

Should the next legislature make an
appropriation for a new wing, contain

Expectation ol the downfall of the
government continues to grow in this

and other Baltic towns. Tbe garrisons
in these provinces are insufficient to
pat down tbe armed rebels and tbe ai
tillerymen refuse to fire on them.
Strikes of railroad workers and crews
of steamships prevent the forwarding
of troops and ammunition to tbe revolt
ed provinces.
Though the government has been
urged to dispatch a fleet to the Baltic

any move, fearing that his sailors w ill
