Washington, Jan. 21.?"Shall we In form the world that the United States is false to its agreements; false to its pledged word? shall we have it mads known the world over that you must look OUt for the United States or it will get advantage of you, that it is a state, cunning, slippery?" With these vigorous denunciations Of the attitude of this country in the Panama canal controversy with Great Britain Senator Bllhu Hoot closed a two-hour speech In the senate today with an appeal for the submission of the Panama question to arhitaration Of the repeal of that section of the canal law that would give it free pas? sage to American coastwise ships Bpueaking from the experience of a member Of President Roosevelt's cabinet when the Panama canal sons was purchased, and when over 2 5 American treaties were made with foreign nations, Senator Root deliver? ed the most vigorous speech that has been heard in the senate for some time. He said in his speech that Sena? tor Brandegee will call a meeting a few days to take up Senator Hoot's amendment. Led by Senators Hoot and Brandegee, both of whom opposed the original passage of this provision, a determined effort will be made at this session of congress to change the law before it goes into effect at the canal, so that the cause of dispute with Great Britain will be removed. Senator Hoot declared the United states would violate all its pledges and promises to the world; would be guilty of "false pretenses" in its ad? vocacy of arbitration and would pro? claim itself indifferent to national honor and integrity If it refused to submit to arbitration. He declared free coastwise tolls to American ships were illegal, unless the same concessions were made to foreign ships. The claim that the United States had domestic rights over the canal because it owned the canal zone, constituted a violation of the express guarantee of the United States to Great Britain, he said. "It is not our territory except in trust," he declared. "Treaty or no treaty we have long asserted that the nations of Central America had no right to debar the world from its rights of passage across the isthmus. Upon that we based the justice of our entire action, which resulted in our having the canal zone." The United States had preached ar? bitration for years, Senator Hoot de? clared, and had besought the nations of the world, 'in season and out of season, to enter into arbitration agree? ment for the settlement of all dis? putes." "Are we Pharisees?" he cried. Have we been false? Have we been pre? tending in all long years of declara? tion? Are we ready to admit now that our country through Its presi? dents and congress has been guilty of false pretenses, of humbug, of talking to the galleries to secure applause? Because of the Interests do we propose to falsify every declaration, every promise, by the arrogant insistence that we alone can determine the in? terpretation of this treaty; that we will refuse to abide by tho treaty? "And Is the game worth the can C'.e? Is it worth our while to re? main in a position, to maintain which we may be driven to repudiate our principles, our profession and our agreements for the purpose of con? ferring a money benefit at the expense of the treasury of the United States on the most highly and absolutely pro? tected special industry in us?or coast? wise shipping?" LONE BANDIT ROBS MAIL CAR.

ED TO PROTECT AMERICANS, Trouble in Vera Crm ami Southern Part of Republic Declared t?? lie I dangerous. Washington, Jan. 21.?Alarmed for the safety of Americans who uro in Jeopardy on account of widespread lawlessness by Mexican rebels In Vera Cruz State and throughout southern Mexico, the state department again has called upon the navy to protect American Interests In the republic. Tonight the gunboat Wheeling is steaming from Tampa, for Vera Cruz, Where Americans are said to face a graver crisis than that relieved by the cruiser Des Moines. The request of the state de? partment to the navy came after the receipt of a Ions series of otlicial re? ports from Ambassador Wilson and consuls in southern Mexican cities, all reflecting a condition of anarchy, es? pecially in the State of Santa Cruz, where federal authorities face the problem <>f restoring civil order with a disorganized army. Guerilla war? fare, brigandage, sacking of ranches and villages and other desperate crimes place Americans and other foreign residents in a state of con? stant danger and the latest advices to the state department express fear of an even worse outbreak. When the Wheeling arrives in Vera Cruz harbor Americans and other for? eigners will be taken aboard and offi? cials express the hope that her dis? play of armament may have the same moral effect that followed the ar? rival of the Des Moines a few months ago. Today's action by the state depart? ment indicates that the administra? tion policy of non-intervention will be maintained to the close of President Tafts term of office. While the pres? ent administration will endeavor to take no action which will embarrass the succeeding regime, it is taken for granted that to the very end aggres? sive action will be restored to if d.s turbed conditions menace the safety of American citizens.

As the tight was at its height the Twenty-third federal battalion arrived and a cannon was turned against the rebels, routing them. On the llel? 60 bodies were counted, including that of Rojas. The federal loss was slight. EXPECT ATTACK BY REBELS. Authorities at Vera Cruz Making Preparations. Vera Cruz, Mexico. Jan. 21.?Mili? tary activity at Vera Cruz and sur? rounding districts would seem to in? dicate that an attack by rebels is ex? pected, although everything at the present time is quiet. The revolu? tionary general, Agullar, is in the mountains back of Cordoba. The pos? sibility that almost, anything may happen is not overlooked by Mexicans The arrival of an American here, it is said, would be a big surprise. Sup? porters of Felix Diaz. leader of the recent revolt, have asked that be be given proper protection as tin y fear illegal action may be taken against him. Marriage License Record. A marriage license was issued Tuesday to Sidney Hickson and Jura Rush, colored, of Shlloh. PSave Feed Bills D and r?t better reeultj from ? m^^^ y-'ur stock.
