an attempt to give them cool weather
but Raleigh was the only place that
had succeeded in the attempt.
He also spoke of the ties snd husl-

Taltimore was in sympathy with Ral

her ideals, histoiY, traditions, aspi

Secretary Bryan, in his statement to
day says:
“In con-sidefing the treaty with Co
lombia it i>! not necessary to examine
into the merits of the conti'Oversy re-
lutiiig to the action of the United
Stales in iSiOS. The present treaty
deals with Ihe .situation as it presents
itsicil to diy and is fully justified, no
Iftatter wliat the crdinaty one may
adopt as to the course pursued !>y our
i'iitirn in cnnnection with the separa
tion of Par.,",ma from Colombia. Some
"unlcnded that the action taken liy
the Unite;! States was based upon
the i ecessit'ics, as stated by those who
tiil;e this i:usition are, that Colombia
v;av not able to build the canal her
self u: d not wiliiiig to sell to the
United States upon reasonable tei-nis
tbL* right t.. build the canal.
“Those who take this position put
the United States in the attitude of
exorcising he right of eminent do
main in t!ic interests of the world’s
commerce; but the exercise of the
right of fiHiinent domain does not re
lieve thoje who exercise it of lia-
iit.y for actual damages suffered.
“It is cftr.tended that the price of
fered by the United States prior to
Panama’s .reparation was a reasonable
one, and that Colombia ought to have
accepted it, that valuation cannot be
reduced b«ci\use Colombia was not
v.’illing to accept the offer. The price
then offerod was approxiinately $17-,-
5000,000 (¥10,000,000 cash and $250,-
000 a year for a hundred years, which
could be capitalized at $7,500,000). But
when this price was offered it was
understood that Colombia would re
tain the State of Panama and have
the advantages to be derived from
proximity to the canai.
“What justice or fairness can there
be in this proposition, that Colombia,
having refused to accept a fair price,
is not entitled to any dagames at all ?
The payment of the $25,000,000 pro
vided for in the treaty now before the
Senate is only a reasonable compen
sation for damages acually suffered—
damages that ought to be paid, no
matter what the ordinary one adopts
in regard ta the action of the United
States or ihe acion of Colombia in
P103. The above argument is based
upon the theory adopted by those who

'J. iiryan reaches Asheville some time
next week and estiiblishes official head-

he is the ofikluX head. The Secretary
arranged for the groverninent to
establish and maintain a special leas

tor in order tliat he may sit tn his
front porch and learn withcut diffi-

pean sttuatioh is progressing.
If the leased wire is maintained
hours during the day it will cost the
Ut ;>ed States Govfit-nfnent at the rate
Oi $6,879 a year and a fraction over
$5,000 for the nigi.t circuit, should one
be maintained. This does not include
li’.a salaries of the telegraph operators
and clerks who will go to Asheville to
wait on Mr. Bryan.
A few days ago Mr. Bryan issued
order* forbidding employes, when
traveling for the government, from I
putting in expense accounts for
bhaves, Pullman car fare and in fact
all incidentals incident to the trip.
Deriiocratic simplicity does not count,
however, when government money is

ROOSiEVELT GETS DOUBTFUL iN-

Theodore Roosevelt received a
doubtful invitation today from the
Senate Commiitee on Foreign Rela
tions to air his views on the opening
C jlombian treaty. The committee in-
s'lracted Senator Stone, the chairman,
tc write the colonel rhat it would be
pleased to receJve his views, pix>viding
it is decided to farther consider the
treaty this session.
The committee did not agree, how
ever. that even if it does take up
the ti'eaty again that it will invite Mr.
Rcosevel to come here for a speech
cither public or private. It merely
informed him that he would be noti
fied if the treaty is again taken up
and in such event his views would be
zecei^'ed-
The inference drawn from the let
ter to tlie colonel is that he wi'l be
allowed to suhvnit a st-atement in writ-
ing, although there is a possibility he
niay be asked to come to Washington
if it is believed advisable to have a
i'.earing on the proposed treaty.

The t.ono of tiie speech of Jules
