THE DOINGS OF CONGRESS
What the National Lawmakers Have
Been Doing.
Representative Dick, of Ohio .introduced
a suffrage resolution which, after;
reciting the law regarding suffrage,
says: I
"Whereas, It is a matter of common
information and belief that the
right of some male citizens being 24
years of age. to vote at elections named
In said amendment to the constitution
named aforesaid, except for participation
in the rebellion or other crime, is
denied and abridged in certain States,
therefore.
"Resolved. That the matter be referred
to the committee on election of
the President. Vice President and Representatives
in Congress, whose duty
it shall be and who shall have full and
ample power to investigate and inquire
into the validity of the election
laws of the several States and the
manner of their conforcement, and
whether the right to vote at any election
for the choice of electors for President
and Vice President of the United
States, Representatives in Congress or
the members of the legislature of any
State, is denied to the male inhabitants
of any States, being 21 years of
ige, and a citizen of the United States
except for participation in the rebellion
or other crime."
After Reed Smoot.
Immediately upon assembling Thurslay
the Senate at once plunged into a
discussion of the question of the eligioility
of Reed Smoot. of Utah, to a seat
in the Senate. Mr. Dubois, of Idaho,
took issue with Mr. Hoar's reaaarks.
"I contend that these various organizations
of Christian men and women,"
he said, "have a right to petition the
Senate, and it is their duty to do so.
Of course, we all appreciate that this
is a judicial question, which must be
determined by the facts, but it is not
in idle question, and it is properly before
the Senate. It is the same question
that was involved in the case of
.he polygamous Roberts, for whose unseating
by the House of Representatives
many petitions were filed.
"If the allegations now on file with
.he committee on privileges and elections
can be proven, I do not believe
there is a Senator here who would vote
to have Mr. Smoot continue in his seat,
hut if they are not proven, I think we
would' all unite in asking him to remain."

But Little Opposition.
Washington, Special.?Speaker Cannon
was assured by one of the most
prominent leaders of the opposition
to Cuban reciprocity in the last Congress
that there would be little or no
opposition among Republicans to the
bill carrying into effect the Cuban reciprocity
treaty. He told the speaker j
that the attempt to form an opposi- |
tion had failed and that the Republicans
would not join the Democrats in
voting the Morris differential amendment
on the bill. The Speaker was assured
that the sentiment among Republicans
was to stand by the Speaker;
that it would be impolitic to have
a division of tho party at the Deginning
of the session.
The House committee on ways and
means Friday authorized a favorable
report on the bill making effective the
Cuban reciprocity treaty, by a vote of
14 to 2. Mr. Metcalf. Republican, was
present, but did not vote, and Messrs.
Robertson. Democrat, of Louisiana,
and Cooper, Democrat, of Texas, voted
against the bill.
New Minister Received.
Washington, Special. ? President
Roosevelt Friday formally received M.
Philippe Bunau-Varilla, the duly-accredited
envoy extraordinary of Panama
to the United States. The reception
of the minister marked the birth
of the new Republic of Panama into
the family of nations and paves the
way for negotiations between the United
States and the infant republic precisely
as they may be conducted between
any two sovereign nations.

NO PANAMA FIGHT
Reported Army Marching Found to

ONLY FEW TRAMPS Tl'RNED BACK
The Isthmus Will Never Again Be the
Seat of Warfare While Under Our
Protectorate.
Washington, Special.?The State
Department has no knowledge of the
marching of an army from Colombia
upon the Isthmus and the officials
state that if any such movement were
in progress, would certainly be informed
by its agents in the South, the
cables being still open. These officials
seout the idea that any such march
is in progress, as the President of
Colombia is reported to have described
to the President of Ecuador.
It is assumed here that the "army"
said to be marching on Panama was
nothing more than the few men, perhaps
500 all told, who were about to
embark at Buena Ventura, a few days
ago, when they were turned back from
the Isthmus by notice of the determination
of the United States naval
commanders to allow no landings in
that quarter. These torops cannot
reach the Isthmus by water and the
officials here are positive that they
hv land on account of
the nature of the intervening country.
?
But there are more than physical
obstacles in the way of the approach
of an army upon Panr.ma. The officials
do not care to express publicly their
plans, but enough has been learned
from the instructions given to our
naval commanders to make it evident
that never again will the Isthmus become
the seat of warfare, so long a3
the United States government can prevent
it. The difference between the
present situation on the Isthmus and
that which existed last year when
Commander McLean prevented armed
troops from crossing tne Isthmus by
rail is just this: The authorities have
now determined to extend the lines
of protection to the railroad. They will
not allow hostile forces, no matter
whether they are Colombian or Panama
troops, to come into collision anywhere
near the railroad and to prevent
such collisions it will be necessary
to extend the neutral zone clear
to the north and south boundaries of
the Republic of Panama. Officials here
will not make such a statement publicly,
they simply say: "Wait till the
emergency arises." But it is known
that such were the plans of the naval j
commanders and as there is no indication
of a change in these plan3, not
the slightest apprehension is felt here
of the encroachment of any Colombian
army upon Panama.
fir. Gudger Returns.
Pnama, by Cable.?United States
Consul Central Gudger arrived here
Sunday evening and was met at the
railway station by a great number
of persons, including the members of
the provisional government, army officers
and other persons. General
Abaldia was also among thosepresent.
As Consul General Gudger alighted
from the train a military band played
"The Star Spangled Banner." Mr.
Gudger was welcomed by a committee
composed of representatives of
the junta, and by Senor Brid, representing
the municipality of Panama.
Senor Arias delivered a speech in
which he expressed the gratttude of
the Republic of Panama for the recognition
accorded it by Presiden Roosevelt
and also the pleasure of the people
of Panama at Mr. Gudger's re
turn, uonsui uenerai uuuger reiurued
thanks for his reception and said
that he and Rear Admiral Walker
would call upon the members of the
junta officially soon, 'ihe United

which had been arranged to

of the Chicago, in 1SS6. The
action of the authorities was taken because
violent speeches were made at
the meeting advocating an active propaganda
of anarchistic doctrine.
Beaver's Property.
New York, Special.?Notice of the
conveyance by George W. Beavers, the
former superintendent of the department
of salaries and allowances of the

indictment for connection with frauds
in the Department, of his property to
his wife, was made known last week.
The property conveyed lies in the section
of Brooklyn known as Borough '

was made for a nominal consideration
and the papers were recorded in
the office of the register of King's
county.
Proposition Rejicted.
Louisville, Col., Special.?The official

miners of the northern coal district,
Saturday night, reverses the decision
and defeats the proposition for a settlement
of the strike. The sub-district
board today announced that the propo- 1
sition was defeated and there would be
no work tomorrow, but refused to
make public the vote. It has leaked out
that there was a majority of six votes
in favor of rejecting the proposition.

TREATY RELATIONS WITH Cl'BA
Both Interest and Honor Demand of
Our Government Prompt Action-*
A Brief But Vigorous Paper.
Washington, Special.?Congress con*
vened at noon- Tuesday and the members
of both houses listened to tho
reading of the President's message, tho
full text of which follows:
THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
"To the Senate and House of Representatives:
"I have convened the Congress that
it may consider the legislation necessary
to put into operation the commercial
treaty with Cuba, which was ratified
by the Senate at its last session,
and subsequently by the Cuban government.
I deem such legislation demanded.
not only by our interest, but by our
honor. We cannot with propriety
abandon the course upon which we
have so wisely embarked. When the
acceptance of the Piatt amendment
was required from Cuba by the action
of the Congress of the United State?,
this government thereby definitely
AAmmlUA/1 nAtt-? rv#
wjuumicu iiflcu IU IUC pvaw/ ui uoowing
Cuba as ocupying a unique pp?tio?
as regards this country. It was provided
that when the island became it
free and independent republic, ft
should stand in such elose relations
with us as in certain respects to com?
within our system of internal policy;!
and it necessarily followed that she
must also to a certain degree become
included within the lines of our econo?
mic policy. Situated as Cuba is. ft
would not be possible for this ?ountrjr
to permit the strategic abuse of the
island by any foreign military power.
"It is for that reason that certaipt
limitations*have been imposed upo?
her financial policy and that naval sta.
tions have been conceded by her to the
United States. The negotiations as t?
the details of these naval stations are
on the eve of completion. They are
so situated as to prevent any idea that
there is the intention ever to use them
against Cuba, or otherwise than for
the protection of Cuba form the assaults
of foreign foes, and or the bfet*
ter safeguarding of American interests
in the waters south of us. ,
"These interests have been largely
increased by the consequences of the
war with Spain and will be still further
increased by the building of ^hy
isthmian canal. They are both military
and economic. The granting to us
by Cuba of the naval stations above
alluded to is of the utmost importance
from a military standpoint, and 1^
proof of the good faith with which
Cuba is treating us. Cuba has made
great progress since her independency
was established. She haa advanced
steadily in every way. She already,
stands high among her sister republics
; of the New World. She is loyally oS*
: serving her obligations to us; and she
is entitled to like treatment by us.
NOT AN AMERICAN INTEREST
SACRIFICED. ' ^
"The treaty submitted to you for approval
secures to the United States
economic advantages as great as those
given Cuba, Not an American interest
is sacrificed. By the treaty, a large
Cuban market is secured to our producers.
It is a market which lies at
our doors, which is already large,
which is capable of great expansion,
i ccneMnlf-v imnortnnt to
j auu muvu a
I the development of our export trade.
It would be Indeed short-sighted for
us to refuse to take advantage of such
an opportunity and to force Cuba into
making arrangements with ofher countries
to our disadvantage. This reciprocity
greatly stands by itself. It
is demanded on considerations ,of
broad national policy as well as by
our economic interest. It will do harm
to no Industry. It is in the interest of
our people as a whole, both because of
its importance from the broad standpoint
of international policy and because
economically it Intimately concerns
us to develop and secure the rich
Cuban market for our farmers, artisans,
merchants and manufacturers.
A GUARANTY OF GOOD FAITH.
"Finally, it is desirable as a guaranty
of the good faith of our nation towards .
her young sister republic to the South,
whose welfare must ever be closely
I bound with ours. We gave her liberty.
, We are knit to her by the members of
the blood and the courage of our soldiers
who fought for her in war; by
the memoriss of the wisdom and Integrity
of our administrators who served
her in peace and who started ner
so well on the difficult path of selfgovernment.
Wc must help her onward
and upward; and in helping her we
shall help ourselves,
i tit" \ tthv MUST BE
FLi?.UKJEJ \Jr in
KEPT.
"The foregoing consideration caused
the negotiation of the treaty with Cuba
and its ratification by the Senate. They
now. with equal force, support the legislation,
by the Congress which by the
terms of the treaty is necessary to render
it operative. A failure to enafct
such legislation would become perilously
near a repudiation of the pledged
faith of the nation.
"I transmit herewith the treaty as
amended by the Senate and ratified by;
the Cuban government.
