I do not think that he was. posterity does not think. so, but Jefferson thought so at the time and even went so far as to suggest the pasageof a constitutional amendement.

When the canal i completed, tho voice of the American people will acclitl-.the action of this administration, even as they acclaim the action of Jefferson when he bought the territory of laniitfiana. Air. Lodge then eiKike of the banquet in New York last night, saying: "Among others present was a very distinguished citizen of by own slate of whom I am very proud and happy to call my personal friend. I very rarely agroc with him on any political question but be made a statement last night with which I think 1 am In more or less agreement, lie referred in a picturesque way lo the dreadful career that lias lieen run by the Republican parly since it ramo into power in ISfHi. He said they have passed from a needless war with Spain to wanton war with Colombia. Needless war with Spain! Mr. President, I am inclined lo think that adjective waa well chosen. If, when the first stirrings for independence had como on that island, the adminiel ration of Mr. Cleveland had behaved with sense and courage; if they had told Spain that the the United time had eome when States could no longer hold back and that Cuba must be free, I believe, tsn and believe now that Culia woul.l ave obtained her indejiendence, perhaps after some protracted negotiations, but without any war between us. I have always believed that if that administration, instead of taking counsel with the minister of Spain and with a great sugar planter In Cuba, had been guided by a sound, brave American spirit before Spain had squandered blood and treasure in the island, wc might Indeed have been saved from the war. "And I look forward with great interest and gn-a-t pleasure to the picture that was drawn at that dinner by the secretary of state when he eulogized the last Democratic president. Apparently in the twenty years he is the only candidate they can produce, and Mr. Olney seems to think he is the only one they can run. Whatever hie strength, or whatever his weakness, I cannot refrain from saying that his nomination would present me at least with one great source of has His administration Pleasure. never been discussed. I do not re gard the Democratic party and 1 suppose that is a partisan remark, but I shall make it as always abounding in good sense but they had too much sense to fight tbe campaign of 189i on Mr. Cleveland's administration. They repudiated him and his administration and we are deprived of the opportunity of discussing i We can say what we want about the silver issue, but it was a better issue for the Democratic party to meet than one and the before, gone I read those when inspiring speeches and observed that the Democratic party once more, through its chosen leader, is preparing to stand across the pathway of American progress and was proposing to put at its head tbe man who held power last in its name, I confess my spirits rose higher than ever about the Republican prospects. I thought of what a pleasure it would be to contrast the policy which tried to set np Lilluokalanl In Hawaii with the President of the Republican party which has made those islands part of the- - United States; to contrast the tariff which they passed and which their own president called the tariff of perfidy and dishonor, with the tariff we passed; to examine the history of the loans which they made in a time of profound peace to the bankers of New York with an interest rate far above what the United States could borrow at even then, and contrast them with the loans which we made in tine of war; and then compare the era of oanic and depression with the prosperity which followed. At 2:16 the Senate went into executive session and at 2 o'clock adjourned. - - WILL ERECT THEATRICAL BUSINESS HURT n Would Welcome the Panama Queetion ' aa an leeue in the Coming Campaign Speaks of Cleveland. 5. Practically Washington, Jan. the entire (tension today was devoted to a speech by Air. Lodge on the Isthmus of Panama. He disclosed the abstract question of the right of the President to rccognlzo the independence of a new nation and concluded that that prerogative jiertaina exclusively to Air. tlie office of the- executive. Lodge argued that our intervention in Panama bad been only in the interest of poare and contends that thn President had not gone a step beyond jahat the propriety called for. Mr. l.odge contended that it ia established that a new state should be recognized whenever a new state ia sufficiently established to assume International obligations and whenever recognition conforms to the dictates of prudence and good policy. Alany inrtancea in which recognition had been purely exocut ive were cited and the senator asserted that President Taylor had prepared to recognize the Independence of Hungary Itefore a government had been established. Replying to the objection that the President had gone beyond bis authority In nominating a minister to Panama. Air. Lodge quoted a number of instance to show that tho early presidents made nominations to other countries for which Congress had made no provision. The senator then discussed at length the action of ITesIdent Roosevelt in connection with the Panama canal. He said that the act of Congress had been an instruction to secure a canal at a certain point. No objection had n lieen made to tho treaty except that too great concessions had Colombia been made to and, notwithstanding these concessions, the treaty had been summarily rejected "by the Colombian congress. Colombia . had from the start sought to secure more money for the canal right, Mr. Lodge assorted, and he quoted Minister correspondence in support of this statement. Nut only had there been an effort to secure more from the United States, but there was also an attempt to squeeze the Panama Canal company. This was the attitude of the Colombian government, he said, and he called attention to the fact that that government had taken that position after asking the United States to enter Into the negotiations He also reforred to of tho treaty. the effort on the part of Colombia to secure a promise from Germany and Great Britain to take up the canal project. Mr. Lodge dwelt at some length on this incident, declaring that the invitation to these European power to build a canal on the Western by people whose every existence depends upon the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine ia very extraordinary. Mr. Lodge read from a speech made by Mr. Morgan in the 67th Congress protesting agatnst the ratification of the treaty with Colombia. Mr. Morgan construed Mr. Lodge's action to be an inference that ha (Af organ) had altered his views consenting the rights of Panama to the proceeds of the sale of the canal concession. Explaining that he had not changed his views on the nutter, Mr. Murgan said he supposed the subject had been brought into debate for the purpose of reprimanding him. Taking up the events in procuring recognition, he asserted that Minister lienupre had reported that the revolution was supposed, at Bogota, to have broken out on October 151st. As early fhe world had known that t Alny all was revolution Impending if the treaty was not ratified. Those reports, of course, had come to the cars of the President and the senator asserted .hat ir the President had not taken measures he would pi reactionary Lave been In the highest degree censurable. The precaution had resulted in tho presence of only one United Kt at ex vessel at Colon anil the utmost impartiality had been shown by the American officials there, if by this act the President had made war there was an excellent precedent in the President's conduct toward Atexico, but as a matter of fact there had been no war in Panama. On the contrary peur-had been preserved and the result bad been that the new republic bad ben established without blood-sh-except for the killing of one - Hay-Herra- 'a ncm-(sphe- re Mr. Lodge declared the question involved to be in American question and one In which the whole American people ere interested. The canal, he says, gives us an interest in the Isth-ir- is which cannot be over estimated. Ir gives ue practically a continuous t from Colombia to Maine and he did not believe Colombia should stand across the pathway of the pro pres of the world. For the life o him, he could not see the wisdom of the course of some of the Democrats in this instance. As a Republican he would like no better issue in the pending a presidential campaign than the Paua-r-he American as an but canal, would regret, a division on this important question. Continuing Mr. Lodge PAID ROYALTY ON LOGS. Before They Could Bo Exported to tho United States. . Vancouver, B. C., Jan. 5. For the first time since the amendment to the provincial land act became a law, a boom of logs, cut on the E. and N. railway lands on Vancouver Island, paid royalty today prior to transportation to Puget Sound. The royalty was paid according to schedule No. 1 of the amendment and ranged from $1 per 1,000 to 11.50 per Thousand feet according to the diameter of the logs. Payment was made by a logger named Cook who is operating on a section of the E. and N. grant. Thn ltonm measures approximately ono.noo feet. The seller and exporter o. the boom explained that. he. was merely trying the experiment to demonstrate- whether or not any profit under the laws of the amended act could be . made through selling logs on the sound.'- - APOSTOLIC Rome.

Attorneys for the Fuller comjmny took Jones, who had been sought by the police for several days, to ihc fire department. It had been charged that Jones and his men broke the skylights on the theater after the life in order to destroy evidence, li developed today, after the arrest of Jones and his mpn. that the skylights were blocked by scantlings and tied with wire to prevent their opening and that neither of them had lieen oiiened since the theater was bull!. Jones, in making 1U statement to the fire department said: I took the three Iron workers with me up through an adjoining building and out upon the theater roof over the stage. First I removed tho wooden scantlings which blocked tbe skylights. Then 1 found the lights tied inside and broke two jisnes of glass (o get at the wires to untio them. I finally got the wires off and opened the lights. Jones was asked why he went to the roof of the theater, and replied that he had been told that the north wall had cracked in the fire and went to see If it was true. He declared he had loosened tbes kyllgbts because he feared they might fall through and injure somebody on the stage. "Why did you take three Iron workers with you to inspect a brick wall " asked Attorney Fulkerson of the fire Jones was confused, but department Anally answered that the men went with him through curiosity. Numerous witnesses who were In adjoining buildings overlooking the theater testified that the skylights were not open during tbe fire. Coroner Traegcr said tonight he was almost ready for the inquiry which Is to commence Thursday. "1 wish it understood, he said, "that this 1e not a trial, but simply an Inquiry to determine the facts of the We will not Ore as far as we can. attemiit to fix (he blame of the fire upon anyone, nor will it recommmend' the punishment of anyone.
