THE MOENEKG OKEGONJAX, 'SATURDAY; SEPTEMBER 22, 1900. ROOSEVELT IN UTAH Two Speeches Delivered In Salt Lalre Yesterday. GREETED BY GREAT AUDIENCES 23maawrue of the Day Were Iforcl STtPrcBenteci Democratic Prom ise Xot F-BlSUed. SALT LAKE, Sept 2L The special Koosevelt train, which laid at Ogden last sight, pulled out for Salt Lake at 9:30 o'clock this morning, arriving at 10:30. Governor Richards, of Wyoming, and united States Senator "Warren, of life Bame state, were on board the train. Sen ator Shoup, of Idaho, and Senator Carter, of Montana, were still with the Roose Veit party. At Salt Lake the train was met by a great number of people and a. brigade of Hough Riders, who escorted the Gover nor through the principal streets, where "fla.tering demonstrations toolc place. governor Roosevelt was driven to the Jilta Club this morning, and was there snet by Hon. R. C. Kerens, committeeman irdm Missouri, and Perry S. Heath, sec retary of the National committee. One hundred and fifty cowboys were In the Street in front of the club, and the Gov--ernor was persuaded to mount a horse and take a gallop with the boys. As they prepared for the start. Governor Koosevelt remarked to the captain of the troop: "Now, boys, when we start, lead off on a gallop." This was done, and thB 'column ot horsemen were soon flying Iown the street and disappeared in the dust. The ride lasted for about an hour. From a -standpoint of "human Interest, Governor Roosevelt's -visit to Salt Lake "City was the most interesting, both from a. political and social point of view, of any that ho has yet made on his long 'tour. On his return from his gallop with the Hough Riders he visited the famous Mor mon Tabernacle to listen to an organ recital by Professor Dayncs. The Gover nor enjoyed the musical treat greatly, and at its close he exclaimed, enthusias tically,, "This is the best thing I have seen yet. I have enjoyed it immensely. Itls superb." Turlng the morning Governor Roosevelt Jsent the ilrst long-distance telephone mes sage over the line just constructed be tween Salt Lake and Cheyenne, a distance or E50 miles. Governor Roosevelt and Perry S. Heath were each presented with a genuine cewboy saddle and bridle to day by Utah friends. At the Saltalr Pavilion Governor Rooso Velt spoke In part as follows: "It must be to every man who is inter ested in this country a matter of the keen est delight to come here and see the mar vels that have been worked by man's in dustry and thrift, by his capacity, fore sight and Intelligence, hGre in this state. JMTich remains to be done, and the Na tional Government should, in my judg ment, do Its part, for here In the "West the nest great .stride must be taken by means of irrigation. It is wise and proper that the National Government should do Its part in creating proper storage reser voirs and proper means for distributing water, and by that means the products of this country will be tripled and quadru ped. "Now, gentlemen, I have but a word to say to you you, my fellow-cltlzens, and you men and women of this great state. I will touch upon just one of the issues of this campaign thiB afternoon. What I nave to say is suggested by what has been in the papers during the past two days, and by what I have seen here myself. The other day Mr. Bryan, in his speech at Chicago, is reported as having said that it boded ill for the Republic to have 103.003 soldiers walking about in idleness. This morning I toolc lunch as a guest of some of your citizens, among whom were three men who wore the regular uniform of the United States Army, and all of whom were with me at Santiago, the eldest of whom, a Lteutenant--Colonel, walks with a cane because on the second day of the siege, when walking about In idleness, a shrapnel struck him, and he will walk lame for the balance of his life. "You read in the papers this morning about how a band of our men "were at tacked by 10 times their number of Fili pinos yecterday, and how a third of them were killed and wounded before they beat off their foes. Do you think those men were walking about in idleness? A third of them are lying at this moment either dead or on hospital cots, suffering from wounds that they received. Do you not think that the courage of these men and their patient endurance of suffering and hardship in what they have done in up holding the flag should entitle them, to a better reward than some slander or sneer about their 'walking abbut In Idleness? That news came this morning. "I feel that in thlscrlsls, at this period of our history, we have the right to 'ap peal to every man In whose veins' the red blood flows, to stand with us now. 1 have the right to appeal to every woman who jgladly sent a son, a brother or a lover to the war. I have a right to appeal to you that what has been gained by the blood of our brethren and the children of our loins shall not be forfeited through craven weakness. I ask that all good Americans, and, beyond and above all others, that you of the "West you who embody all that Is most glorious in American, citizenship. shall see to It that at the outBeVof the' new century that is upon us, this Nation' shall not abandon its duty; that It shall not abandon those friendly islanders who "have trusted to our good faith, and that Jt shall not cringe before the task in front ot "us; that this Nation shall not play the part of a weakling and a coward, but that it shall stride forward with the strength of a giant, and shall make it evident to the nations of the world- that they may know now, once for all, that wherever the American flag has been hoisted in honor it shall never bo pulled down in dishonor." Senator Carter, of Montana, spoke briefly. The meeting at the Salt Lake Theater tonight was one of large proportions. The largest assembly-room that could be ob tained was selected, but it was not large enough to contain those who sought ad mission. The seats were filled, the three large galleries were fllled. the stage was filled and all the standing room was oc cupied to such an extent that members of the National committee, and even members of the reception committee themselves and members of the press could not obtain admittance. Mr. Roose velt spoke, In part, as follows: "A great task lies before us, the task of bringing orderly liberty to the people of the islands of the Philippines. That la what we have promised, and we will see to it that it Is followed by a sufficient quantity of performance. Wo have heartt a good deal recently of the Declaration of Independence and of the doctrine of the consent of the governed. That doc trine was enunciated In TTTS. More than 85 years went by before that doctrine was put Into actual effect. It was three quarters of a century after Thomas Jef ferson had said it that Abraham Lin coln put it Into practice. Three-quarters of a century went by after the promise was made before we realized the per formance in his country. It was well to have it said, but It was impossible to reach the ideal at once. It could only be attained jstep by step. Now; our op ponents talk of liberty to the Philip pines. The Philippines shall have liber ty; aye, they shall have a measure ot liberty of which thev have been In absolute limorance throughout the ages. 1 "They shall have such liberty -as they nave never known under Spanish rule, and such a measure of liberty as they never could know under the rule of the tyrannical and bloodthirsty oligarchy of their own people. They shall have lib erty but they shall have it under the American flag. We oan say that-ws stand for jus tice. Let us" see to it that this NaUCh, in this generation, stands for justice for all; for eqnal dealing with the strong and the weak; let us see to it that our' In ternational obligations aXe performed; let us see to it that the nations of the world understand that wo will do justice, hot through fear, but because we love Jus tice.. We can afford to be very gentle, because we are very strong. We can insist upon righteous dealings with our people because we ask nothing that wo do not give in return. We, as a Nation, can work out our destiny as It should be, and we can handle ourselves as each pri vate citizen should handle himself, if he Is to stand well with his fellows. This Is a boast that comes not from fear; It is a boast that comes not from shrink ing from our duty, but a boast that fol lows effort and successful performance that comes with triumph achieved. We should not shrink from oun duty, If we have realized It. We should approach It In a sane ahd sober spirit; as each man and woman would approach a task in volving the1 most serious duties" of life. Let .us see to It by our actions; let us see to It by our votes that we appreciate the material well-being which this coun try has attained; that we compare the promises and the performances of the last four years on the on$ side with the pro phecies of disaster which have signally failed on the other side; th&t you vote to keep the material prosperity which stands at the foundation of our National well-being, and that you vote, further more, for what Is even dearer, and higher than material prosperity; that you vote to give your children and your children's cmidren a moral example that comes from a sense of duty done by their fathers ana their forefathers. Our authority extends over the Philippines now; If we shrink back from the task that is before us t will show that our forefathers who fought the great Civil War for .the preserva tion;, of this Government are better and braver than we are. If we do. that we will have shown ourselves as a Nation to have ended inglorlously a career that be-, gan gloriously. I ask that you pike the first rjtep right; that you shall so act in the face of the nations of the world that they shall learn once and for f.11 that wheh this Nation" once- holstx ihe flag It shall not be pulled -down.' LONE MAW HELD UP A TRAIN Northern Pacific Passengers Robbed Kenr Rathdram. SPOKANE, Sept. 22.-ilngle-handed, a masked robber held up the west-bound passenger train on the Northern Pacific at 1 o'clock this morning, and succeeded in getting away with between $400 and $500 in cash, several watches and a quan tity of jewelry. -The robbery occurred after the train left Athol, Ida., and the lone robber left the train at Rathdrum. The hold-up was evidently carefully planned, and was executed with a cool deliberation which showed the robber thoroughly understood his business. Until he, left the train, few of the passengers realized that only one man was in the plot. Conductor Dunning was the only per son on the train who offered serious re sistance, and a few shots from the rob ber's gun effectually Bilenced the train man. As the robber stepped off the train at Rathdrum, the conductor came out ot the tourist car and fired twice at the rob ber. The latter returned the fire, clipping a piece of leather from the conductor's shoe. No one was hurt during the hold up, but every occupant of three cars was terrorized. The man boarded the train at Sand Point, Ida., where a short stop was made. He Is described as being a little over five feet in height of slight build, had a light mustache and wore a dark suit of clothes, a mask and a black slouch hat. After the train left Athol he gained. the rear of the second Pullman sleeper and at once began operations. From berth to berth he worked, waking up the sleep-' 'ers and demanding their valuables, while covering them with a formidable-looking revolver. Some of the passengers in sist that his hands were full of revol vers. Upon his arm ho carried a short sack made of a coat sleeve. For some reason he did not use the' sack, but slipped money and valuables into his pockets. After cleaning up both Pullmans, .the robber entered the tourist car. Here the occupants began to scream with terror and attracted the attention of the con ductor, who was in tho forward part of the coach. Ho came down the alBle and the robber backed out of the car door, stepping off the platform as the trainwas pulling into Rathdrum. Drawing his revolver, the conductor fired twice at the man, who at once turned and fired three times at the con ductor, who beat a hasty retreat into tho car. ..The robber, escaped before the alarm "could, be given to the 'few people at Rathdrum station. , How They Peel About Xt. Tacoma News. The City of Portland is being congratu lated throughout the country on its ap parent gain In population of M.95 per cent: during the decade from 1S90 to. 100. IFor Instance, the Chicago Tribune says: "Portland. Or., had 46.3S5 inhabitants in 1890. It has 90.425 now. This is a gain of 94.95, per cent, and Is the largest per centage yet recorded, with the exception of that for Atlantic City." Reduced to percentages, this statement Is little less than half true, for the gain In population is in reality less than 45.74 per Cent, In stead of 9J.S5 per cent. In 1590, when the census was taken, Al blna hod 5129. Bast Portland 10,633, and Portland proper, fi,3S5 population. This would give in 190 to the territory now within tho city llmite of Portland a total population of 62.046. Since 1S90 Alblna and East Portland have been added to Port land, and the total for the expanded city in 1900 is 90,426. Assuming that the suburbs of Alblna and East Portland have not increased their population during the decade, and deducting their total of 15,661. In 1S90, from the present total ot Portland, It makes the population of Portland proper, not at tained by annexation, 74,765." Portland Is careful not to explain that the greater part of Its present growth was obtained by the expansion of its city limits, and is accepting Ill-founded con gratulations while it holds Its breath for fear the deception will be disclosed. When Tacoma expands so as to take In Puyallup and Seattle. It will break all records for apparent. growth, but It will be frank and honest enough to give the facts. It will not, like Portland, accept praise to which it is not entitled. The Howard Trial. FRANKFORT, Ky., Sept. 21. The de fense rested its testimony in the caso of James Howard at 3 o'clock this after noon. Several witnesses for the prosecu tion were heard In rebuttal, and the re buttal will probably be conOluded by noon tomorrow.

The fol lowing signed statement has been given to the Associated Press by Judge O.' W Powers, of this city, Who was recently appointed United States Senator from Utah by Acting Governor Aqiiila Nebeker: "Salt Lake, Utah, Sept. 21. To the As sociated Press: While there can be no question but what Senator Nebeker was Governor in the absence of Governor Wells and Secretary Hammond from 'the state, and that he had power to appoint 'a United States Senator, the precedent in the Quay case makes it clear thathls ap pointee would not be seated. Our Demo cratic state chairman, Mr. Burton, is of the opinion that I can be of more service to the party on the electoral ticket than In making a contest In addition, I have no desire to draw the salary pending a contest, when I am convinced In advance that the seat would be refused. Hence, unless the National committee shall de sire me to take action, I shall not accept the appointment ; "At first It appeared to me that I should make the fight and thus draw attention once more, as urged by the Democratic party, for a Constitutional amendment providing for the election of Senators, by the people; but my sober Judgment Is to the contrary. I appreciate Governor Nebeker's confidence -and shall' always cherish the .compliment - "O. W. POWERS." Xitfaslfcea at in Washington. WASHINGTON, Sept 21. The' appoint ment of Powers by the acting Governor of Utah Is laughed at here in Washing ton. The vacancy In Utah occurred- the same as vacancies in several states through failure of the Legislature to elect and In every instance of late years the Senate has refused to seat such ap pointees. Powers stands no chance of being seated, as this case Is not on a parallel with tho Clark case, save that the appointments -were made by the act ing Governor, while the Governor was out of the state. The Montana vacancy was caused by the resignation of Clark, which made it plain that it can be filled by the appointment of the Lieutenant Governor. BRYAN ON ANOTHER TOUR, Stumping? His Old 'Congressional District. WEEPING WATER, Neb., Sept. 21. Mr. Bryan today conducted his canvass In his old Congressional district He makes a practice of going over the distfict every two years. Today he left Lincoln at 9 o'clock, and, running a few miles out to Elmwood, took a carriage -and drove 20 miles across the country to Syracuse. Ho spoke to two large assemblies " of people there, and when he concluded he re"-en-tered his carriage and made another 20 mlle drive to Weeping Water.- He spoke here tonight in a large grove, and, not withstanding it is a Republican commu nity, ho had a large audience.' The speech delivered here tonight was addressed main, ly to Republicans, and Was an appeal to them to consider the new questions pre sented In the campaign, without regard to past party affiliations or prejudice. Ho paid especial attention, to the increase of the Army and the Philippine question. In his Syracuse speeoh Mr. Bryan an nounced that in his speech at Nebraska City next Wednesday evening he would discuss tho trust question, because of "the presence there of tho starch combination. He sold" that the Democrats believe1 as much In tariff reform as they did in 1892; bb much lh the free coinage df silver as they did In 1896, but neither of these Is the Issue of supreme importance now, Re ferring to the trusts, Mr. Bryan said: "Everybody except Mrv Hanna knowS .that we have trusts. Mr. Hanna made a speech the other day, In which he said he did not believe there was a trust' in the United States. I think he is the only man in the country who says he does not know there is a trust, and my own opinion Is there is not a man in the country who knows more about the trusts than ho does, or knows better their names and places of doing business." HANNA'S "WESTERN TOUR. The Senator Will Speak in Nebraska and South Dakota. CHICAGO, Sept. 21. United States Sen ator Hanna, chairman of the executivo committee of the National Republican Committee, today announced that he will make an extensive tour of the West, par ticularly In Nebraska and South' Dakota.

Corbett, tho pugilist, will return to New York by the first available steamer to" effect a reconciliation with-his wife. Cdrbett said li an interview: "I received some, papers Wednesday containing alleged reasons for my sailing for Europe and interviews with my wife as to my -reasons for leaving.. She has beeh imposed upon by intimate acquaint ances I supposed to be my best friends. These persons will have tb answer to me personally. Though my Wife's statements about the McCoy fight are ridiculous, 1 am confident she madfr them under a -falte -impression.. ' It would be madness 'for anyone to think that if .'I would try to throw the McCoy fight, I would make such an arrangement In the presence of my wife or any other outside party. Things of that kind, If done," are not done In the presence of third parties. .The woman 'story has been denied Over And over again by everybody who has seen me in London, They know it to .be .untrue." ' Considine, Corbett's manager, who. was present' at the" interview, opposes Cor bett's return 'to New York, saying the pugilist's wife's accusations are so un just as to merit a separation, 'but Cor bett said: "I am going back to face the situation."

Address PARIS MEDICINE "CO., Bt Iouls, Mo. UNION WitL STAND ASIDE PRESIDENT 2SITCHElAs:rPI.AN FOR. V ENDING THE STRIKE; Proposer Simultaneous Meetings Be tween Goal' Road Officials and Their Employes. HAZELTON, Pa.. Sept. 21. The whole Hazelton region was reported Quiet to day. 'At every colliery strikers w'ere sta tioned from dawn until starting time, to persuade men not to go to work. The strikers reported 'to- headquarters that they were successful In inducing-a con siderable number of workmen not to go Into the mines. Several mine superin tendents reported an increased number of men at work. President Mitchell; when asked about the report that the operators might re duce the price of powder after the strike is ended, as a concession to the men, said he had heard nothing about it. He added that if the mineowners do cut the prlceof powder, they will probably want to -reduce thewages of the mineworkers in a corresponding degree. President Mitchell gave out the following state ment: "'Reports received at this office today show that SO per cent of, the minework ers of the Lehigh and Hazleton regions are on strike. Many of the coal compa nies -have run their breakers, trying' to create the impression that their men were at work, but they were running empty cars instead of full ones. Reports from every 'mining town are highly satisfac tory. The men are peaceable and laW abiding. The latest report from the lower anthracite region shows, that the mines at Mahanoy City and Shenandoah and vi cinity are completely tied up. "We expect to verify the prediction -that every an thracite miner would cease work." President Mitchell Issued an open letter to' the public- tonight; " in which -he re cites the grievances of the miners -and the cause thereof, and points out- a way to .settle the -strike. ' He. says: . "The -striking miners recognizees, their -real opponents in this" struggle .for a slight amelioration" of the hard, 'grinding conditions of the miner's 'life, are nine railroads, which, with their presidents, are: The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, Alexander J Cassatt, president: the Le high "Valley Railroad system, Fred Wal ter, president; Delaware & Hudson Rail road, R. M. Ollphant, president; Dela ware, Lackawanna & "Western Railroad, "W. H. Truesdale, president; Central Rall roab. Company of Nw Jersey, J. R. Max well, president; Philadelphia & Reading Railroad, J. H. Harris president; Erie & New York, Susquehanna Western Rail road, F. P. Thomas, president; Delaware, Susquehanna &. Schuylkill Company, I. A. Stearns, president; -New York, Ontario & Western Railroad, .T. B.-Fowler, presi dent." , The -independent operators, Mr. Mitchell sayB, are absolutely In tho clutch of the railroads. If the miners made a settle ment with Markle & Co., that? settlement could be lived up to by Markle only so long as the strike continued elsewhore. Every pound of coal that Markle would be permitted to mine and ship would In variably be appropriated r by the Lehigh Valley road, thus placing In their own hand3 the weapon which would defeat the very object for which their own em ployes are On strike, and .because of the mineworkers of the anthracite field hav ing their wage3 based upon a sliding scale,, the earnings of the Markle men would necessarily bo reduced wero the strike to-prove a failure at other points in the anthracite region. .Mr.. Mitchell asserts, that he is an ad. vocate.of arbitration, and- opposed to strikes.; .He -declares that the minework ers. officials will step aside and not ask to be recognized or consulted by the mine- owners if the officials of these 'railroad' companies will meet committees-of their own employes and .come to a peaceful agreement, provided, however, that such conferences between the various compa nies .and committees representing their own employes will meet In separate halls on the same date. This provisi6n is inserted because here tofore when committees presented-grievances to any of the great companies they were met with the argument that the company could not remedy- the wrongs complained or because competing compa nies enforced conditions of employment no more favorable to the mineworkers than their own. By holding these sepa rate conferences simultaneously In one city there could be an exchange of opin ion between all of the mineowners and miners whose interests were at stake, thus removing the possibility of one company being placed at a disadvantage by paying more for labor than-was ex acted from their competitors. .

Presidont Oll phant, of the Delaware. & Hudson Coal Company, when asked today -whether his company would be likely to engage out side labor In the event of the strike last ing over two weeks, said: "I do not think we are likely to engage men in the places of those who are now out. Such action leads to trouble of the most serious character, and wo think too much of our men to replace them with outsiders." "Mr. Ollphant said that friends of his in Philadelphia had written to him, asking whether he WOuld meet Archbishop Ryan in this city.

But Miners Will Profit by Longer Working: Hours. PHILADELPHIA, Sept 21. An abso lute denial was made today by General Henderson that the Philadelphia & Read ing Coal & Iron Company had. Increased Its wages to the mine employes 10 per cent The report, said he, was evidently due .to the company incroasing its work ing "hours from 7 per cent to" 9.

Will Not Surrender or Reooarnlae the 1 - Union. " WILKESBARRE. Pa., Sept. 21. The coal operator issued" this statement to day: "All the leading collieries in the Schuyl kill region are working. The report sent our from Hazleton that the operators will surrerjder,, ratheu. than lose a big Wln terls, trade, is. misleading. The. operators have made up their minds that they will not recognize the jilners union If a pouna of coal Is not mined all Winter. The Issue is not so much a question of wages as It Is the recognition of the union. The operators of the anthracite region can never consent to have a lot of "bituminous men run their business. In the first place, the bituminous men know nothing about the conditions governing the anthracite trade. And. in the second place. It would mean" ruin for the anthracite Interests If. the soft coal men were in a position to dominate the anthracite trade." It Is estimated that 700 men left the Wyoming Valley tor the West and the bi tuminous regions-.- Two hundred more left this morning. The English-speaking min ers are going west, while the Slavs, Ital ians and Polanders are going back to their homes in Europo. Colliery Watchman Shot. SHAMOKIN. Pa.. Sept. 21.

A special to the Record from Vancouver. B. C, says: Lieutenant Hobson left last evening for Brooklyn. Many persons were at the Ca-i nadian Pacific station to shake hands with" him. Lieutenant Hobson talked .freely and expressed tho opinion that the serious part of the Philippine war was over; that guerrilla warfare might keep up for some timei but that the insur gents were well in hand. He believed the United States had done right in ltd war and had acted wisely in restraining the natives with a firm hand. He earnestly expressed himself regard ing the defenses of Puget Sound and of the Pacific Coaat, and asked many ques tions regarding the defenses at Esquimau, with a view it was thought of protecting Alaska from possible enemies until the Pacific Coast defenses could be material ly strengthened. Again referring to the Philippines, Lieu tenant Hobson said: "The United States Government has definitely decided to establish dockyards on a large scale In the Philippines. Our new responsibilities make that imperative. We must have facilities-in the East for docking our own 3hlps and repairing them. We had. to Use a. Japanese dock for the Oregon. That is all right In Its way, but we must have one of our owh in that part of the world. One nation cannot depend on another for -that kind of thing forever. 'The new base will be established in the Philippine Islands. Cavlte being clo5e to Manila, naturally suggests Itself, but tho harbor has been found to be too shallow ' and also Inconvenient in other ways. It has therefore practically,, been decided to construct the dockyards at Sublg Bay. a sheltered harbdnabout.80 miles from Ma nilla, which has sufficient depth of ater for'all purposes;-and. is. really ah -Ideal place -for 'a naval base." To learn all that he could about dock yards. Lieutenant Hobson inspected the naval yards at Amor and Foo Chow. While he was In Japan the Oregon was docked and the work of putting it to rights wras Intrusted to the Japanese of ficials. By permission given at the re quest of the United States, he was per mitted to inspect the work. Permission to Inspect the repairing operations in cluded permission to look over, the .dock yard, and the observations made by Lieutenant Hobson thereon will form the subject matter of a statement to be mode to the naval authorities. Steel Forks In the White Home. Writing of "One Hundred Years in the White House," and recalling- some of tho notable entertainments given by our Chief Executives, Rene Bache, in the September Ladles' Home Journal, says that President Madison revived much of the formal ceromony which Thomas Jef ferson had. discarded, and under that Ad ministration great attention was given to the state banquets, no expense being spared In making them, as fine as pos sible., President Jackson disliked cere mony even more than did President Jef ferson, and, preferring a steel fork him self, he always provided each guest with drie silver fork and one of steel." After dinner" he smoked a lohg-stemmed corn cob pipe. He wished to throw the doors of the White House wide open to the public but this Idea he was forced to relinquish after the experience of one occasion, on which he extended an ill-judged hospi tality to all comers. The carpet In the East Room was ruined by punch which the mob split In its eagerness to get at the buckets containing the beverage; the gowns of many ladies were spoiled and the furniture was broken. At his" faro well reception President Jackson intro duced" a curious novelty In the shape ot a gigantic cheese, which .was cut into pieces and distributed among the guests. Dally; Trenanry Statement.
