Varilla, in presenting his eredeatlals,
delivered a brief address, to which the
President fittingly responded, The e
change of addresses was impressive, by
reason or ttie circumstances ana the
addresses themselves are regarded as
felicitous and patriotic. Minister
Bunau Varilla, in his address, said that
the new Republic of Panama owes its
existence to an outburst of indignant
grief which stirred the hearts of the
citizens of the Isthmus on beholding
the tyranny which sought to forbid
iheir country from fulfilling the des
tinies vouchsafed to it by providence.
"In consecrating its right to exist, Mr.
President." said Bunau Varilla, "You
put an end to what appeared to be anJ
interminable controversy as to water
ways, and you .definitely inaugurated
the era of achievement of the Panama
Canal."

In responding the President - said:
"Mr. Minister, I am gratified to re

credited to the Government of the

This committee will meet at 10:30
a, m, tomorrow for the purpose of con
sidering the Cuban reciprocity bill in
troduced today by Mr. Payne of New
York, and expects to report it to the
House tomorrow afternoon.- The com
mittee on Rules is expected to grant a
rule prohibiting any and all amend
ments so as to prevent the abolition
of the differential on refined sugar as
a rider to the bill.
The President has decided to receive
the ; "French" representative of the
new "Republic of Panama" officially
tomorrow morning. Thus precluding
the possibility, of any. decent . drawing
back from the course to which he has
committed this government.
Senator F. McL. Simmons, who is
staying for the next few weeks at his
old headquarters, the Rigga house, is
showing the effects of the shock -Of
his father's murder and the strain of
the recent trial of his negro slayer,
but is at work with the Democratic
steering Committee which hopes to In
duce Senator Morgan to remain on the
Canal Committee although it is prac
tically certain the Republicans will not
permit the venerable statesman to oc
cupy his former place as chairman.
They would prefer to displace him
from that committee altogether, but
are not Inclined at present to go to
that length.
Senator Simmons Simmons in con
versation with your correspondent to
day, declared that he felt somewhat
lonesome at the extra session last
spring as he was the only Democratic
Senator to speak in behalf of Cuban
reciprocity, although his colleague Sen
ator Overman stood by him in voting
for the ratification of the treaty.
Mr Simmons believes that there
should be a full and deliberate Inves
tigation Into the Panama matter which
he declares it will be exceedingly dif
ficult for the administration . to . ex
plain in such a way as td convince
many of our people as well as the na
tions of Europe that the Pafiarna revo
hitiou was hot planned iti this country,
"But," declared the seuior Senator1
froth- NrJrth tjarrjlitta, "1 tafliibl mf
that I was urprled at Uf, itorjgeveitj

maa la the White Hmise we are liable
te wake up aav fflralag to flad mtf
selves effllH:iled ia a serious auaffel If
nofe artual warfare wits ffl otner na
tt,"
WalRg warm with his subject the
Senator pompared the ease with whlnh
the "French' citizens of the "rebel'
state of Panama obtained recognition
from the administration in ft few hours
time with the struggle carried on for
years by the Southern Confederacy to
obtain similar recognition from Eng
land without success.
Mr. Simmons is not easily aroused
t' outward show of Uidlgatlon but ris
ing quickly from his chair, he ex
claimed "Yet the man who did this had
the temerity to assert in his message
to the Congress of the United States
on Tuesday that our national honor
demanded the ratification of the
treaty."
"National honor Indeed I He had best
say the least possible about that. It Is
to the Democratic party and not to
such a man as Theodore Roosevelt'
that the country must look for the re
demption of its honor as a nation, and
Senator Gorman of Maryland is the
man to lead our party to victory," con
cluded Mr. Simmons.
The Democratic colleagues of Sena
tor Simmons are urging him for a very
important committee assignment, but
the Republicans are by no means in
clined to give any of the Democratic
FRIDAY EVENING.-
Senators important positions on com
mittees.
Representative W. W. Kitchin, who
is now serving his 4th term from the
5th district, has Introduced several res
olutions, one of which provides for the
repeal of the ten per cent tax on State
bank issues, while another, which has
already created some comment, pro
vides a new article to the Constitution
prohibiting national or State legisla
tion establishing or supporting any
religion or prohlblnlty the free exer
cises of religion. " .
Mr. Kitchin has also introduced the
first resolution of the 58th Congress
providing for the real of the fifteenth
