Show HILL AND ROOSEVELT. 1 B Ex-Senator and ex-Governor Hill of Now York !' B must have read the papers on Tuesday morning j jJ last with mixed feelings. There was his petty I fl arraignment of President Roosevelt side by side B with the ringing message of the President declar- M ing that there was no trick, no bargain, no under- B standing with the men of the Isthmus; that when M the revolution in Panama became iminent he or- j! ! jJ , dered a naval force to keep the peace, protecting ' i M the Isthmus route against both the men of Pan- j ' , am a and of Columbia, as has been done over and ; lM over since 1840; that wlien Panama declared her M independence he acted promptly and entirely nn- J' M der the law; that all he did was legal, and that on B every hand he was justified in what was done. fl Mr. Hill must have felt stil worse in the afternoon '. of Tuesday when by overwhelming numbers the f B Senate committee having the appointment of Gen- j B eral Wood under investigation reported on every f1 'H count in his favor. H Teddy is a very hard man to throw down, and V B the reason is he is a square man. H |
