cision regarding the substance known as
""thorns meal." It was assessed for duty
by the Collector at Portland. Or., at a.

In paragraph 121 of the tariff. The im
porters claim that it should come in free,
either under paragraph 569 as a substance
used only for manure, or under paragraph
CS9 as crude phosphate. General Apprais

board, says-that "an official analysis shows
that the merchandise is basic slag, and
contains leas than 17 per cent of phos

THE PRESIDENT'S VISITORS
M. H. De Tonng a Caller at Canton
Roosevelt "Will Speak There.
CANTON, O., Oct. 3. President McKin
ley Is making the most of the delightful
Indian Summer weather. He goes out
driving every day with Mrs. McKinley.
Beside the drives, the President, the past
few days, has been doing a great deal of
walking, his favorite exercise. He walks
out along the streets near his home and
occasionally down town. No date has
been fixed for a return to Washington.
Governor Roosevelt is coming to Canton
the morning of October 18 for a SO. min
utes' stay. In that time he will mako a
speech from the McKinley porch, while
his train Is being transferred from one
railroad to another.
M. H. Be Young, of San Francisco, pres
ident of the United States Commissioners
to the Paris Exposition, stopped, over
in Canton today. He came -to make a
formal report to the President and to ar
range for a reception to the whole board.
This reception will be held in Washington
soon after election. Mr. De Young left
during the afternoon for.hiB home in Ban
Francisco, where he will take part'In the"
campaign. He expressed himself as heart
ily In favor .of not only retaining the
Philippines and other possessions coming
to the United States as the result of the
war with Spain, but of making them self
governing territories as rapidly as. possi
ble, with free interchange of products.
"We need them," .he said, "for we must
have an outlet for our surplus products.
They give natural advantages that it
would be worse than folly to reject. They
give us what the Old World Is constantly
exerting itself to secure a basis for large
and porfltable trade In the Orient."

DEADWOOD, S. D., ct a.-5mmediat&-lr
upon the arrival of the Roosevelt spe
cial train at Deadwood at 8 o'clock to
night, Governor Rdosevelt and Senator
Dolliver were taken in carriages through
the streets of Deadwood to'the Deadwood
narrow gauge railroad, where the party
entered a train and was taken to Xr&ad, a
mining camp, where ttoo speeches were
made. One was of some length In "Miners'
Hall, to a closely packed house, and the
other a brief talk from the carriage to a
much larger crowd, which could not gain
admittance.
The demonstration in Deadwood, as the
carriages passed through the streets, was
extraordinary. Men and women, mounted
and on foot, filled the streets, and lined
p the sidewalks. The night was illuminated
by electric lights, rockets. Innumerable
torches, by fireworks of .all descriptions,
and above all the features of the demon
stration was the wild rush for the car
riage which contained the Governor and
the cheers and cries that greeted his prog
ress during the journey between the sta
tions. The crowd was the most demon
strative and excited that htas yet been
met on his long journey of more than 9000
miles. Governor Roosevelt made a short
speech at the Opera-House in Deadwood,
which could not hold a fraction of the
people who wished to get in.
After the speaking Governor Roosevelt
was presented with a bridle by citizens of
Sturgis, Meade County, 150 strong, who
had traveled 14 miles to attend the night
meeting and to hear him speak. At 11 P.
M. the train pulled out lor Valentine,
Neb., and for Omaha, at which latter city
a meeting will be held, after which the
Iowa Republican Stafe Committee will,
take charge of the party for one day.
Speeches In Nebraslta.
OHADRON, Neb., Oct 3. The special
train bearing Roosevelt and- arty reached
'Broken Bow at 8 A. M. today. Governor
iiooseveit, accompanied by Senator Dolli
ver, of Iowa, and Mr. Dietrich, 'candidate
for Governor of Nebraska, proceeded to a
platform two blocks from the depot,
where an open-air meeting was held. All
three made addresses.
The train made a short ston at JHvannls.
where Governor Roosevelt said, In part:
inr. Towne has been appealing to our
people against keeping the Philippines on
the ground that they have under the Sul
tan of Sulu polygamy and slavery. Now,
how will It be stopped If we go away? If
we withdraw our flag, that merely means
.that slaveipr van? jjolygamyu will become J
jwrpetuauaiflM.piTo patjtfte, rtsvery.
in,ihls country weVdid'not withdraw tbre
Has Xrpra The alavesrpoa the,c6ntrary, wo
.kept the -flag thereuntil slavery-vanlshed.
That 1b also the w7 to handle the ques
tion In the Philippine. We should stay
there" and keep the flag there and slavery
and polygamy will ultimately disappear.
Take the flag away and you render these
evils permanent, and a host of others like
them permanent In the Islands. You can
not do everything at once, but It-will bo
done in time, if only we stay in the Phil
ippines. Yesterday I was asked a question
about Alaska. In Alaska we have merely
been .establishing a modus Vivendi to in
sure tho- rule of law and the punishment
of offenders' until the line which Is in dis
pute ,has 'been run, exactly as any two
neighbors would come to a temporary
agreement if there was any doubt about
a line between them until that line could
be definitely settled. You may rest as
sured that no American territory will be
given up to any power."
The Roosevelt party arrived at Alliance
atl:20. Governor Roosevelt and Senator
Dolliver made -speeches from a platform
in the town. Governor Roosevelt said, In
part:
"Now. I ask you stockmen "here, the
men who own cattle, to compare how
they were off four years ago .with how
they are off now. I ask them to consider
whether, if It Is ruin now, we had not
better have a little more of-it We have
put a tariff oh the importation of Mexi
can cattle and our herds now are twice as
numerous and the prices you got are very
mucn larger, naif as large again. You
can get money at a lower rate of Interest
now than you could then. All your
products sell for much more. You are
better, off now than you were four years
ago. Every prophecy that was made by
our opponents has not been Justified by
the result Now you are asked to trust
the same .party which made those prom
isesevery one of which came false. If
you are dealing with a man and he does
not keep his word, the first time ho fools
you .it is his fault; the second time he
fools' you it is your fault"
The train stop'ped at Crawford long
enough for Governor Roosevelt to show
himself upon a platform in the middle of
the town. t This a cattle-growing coun
try. Governor Roosevelt said:
"Out here, where" you raise cattle, not
only jtho amount of cattle, but the value
of themxhave Increased anywhere from
40 to 60 per cent Now, under our free
Government Is our inalienable rhjht to
make fools of ourselves If we wish, and
if you want to go back to the old con
ditions, that is your right you can go.
You can go right back into the slough,
out of -which .we worked our way four
years ago. by putting into power the
party which for 40 years ha3 never done
any constructive work, but has always
criticised and has generally criticised
wrong."
When Governoor Roosevelt mounted the
platform at Chadron, where a 20-mlnute
stop was made to allov; him to address
the people who had assembled there,
State Senator J. H. Vandusen, of South
Omaha, presented to Governor Roosevelt
a set of spurs of the cowboy type In be.
,half of the Nebraska delegation of the
National Convention of Republican
League Clubs. , Governor Roosevelt re
sponded briefly, expressing' his thanks.
He said:
''Before I begin my speech, 3 want to
do something' that I have not done in the
campaign at all before now, and that Is
to answer .one of the lies circulated In
reference to me. I have not hitherto
thought it worth while, but I have read a
telegram from Captain Allen G. Fisher,
stating that the- Populists have convinced
organizations that Roosevelt said in the
Auditorium, after the Pullman strike,
that 'any man who engages In a strike
or any man -who goes where a strike is
on should be shot Captain Fisher states
that some credence has been given to
that statement and I therefore want to
answer it Yet it is most irritating to
have to stoop to answer such a state
ment -for I should suppose that any one
of common intelligence would know that
I 'not onlv never made such a statement,
but -that I am Incapable of making It At
that time I never spoke In the. Auditorium
to begin "with, and I never, said anything'
-anywhere to any human, being', out of
which could bo constructed any such
statement It Is not only a lie, but it was
made up by people who knew It was an
lie, to be circulated by others, who also
knew it to bo a He."

gulshed leaders of the Democracy 'were'
displayed In frames' of electric bulbSL
At 8 o'clock a parade of all the Demo
cratic Clubs and delegates marched
through tho streets, while thousands of
people lined the sidewalks and cheered
to the echo. The display of Democratic
enthusiasm "was 'rendered more preten
tious by the fireworks burned along the
city thoroughfares. . The city was entire
ly In the hands of the Democracy. The
multiplicity of transparencies In theipar
ado and the varicolored uniforms of tho
different Democratic clubs added greatly
to the spectacular splendor of tho occa
sion. The programme of the opening session
of the convention, as officially announced,
was changed just prior to the hour of
meeting. President W. R. Hearst was
expected to be present to preside, but tel
egraphed that he wa3 111 and unable to
attend. Tho convention, therefore, was
called to order by James K. Jones, cholr
man of the Democratic National Com
mittee. Mayor Taggart made the speech
of welcome. Senator Jones, in opening
the convention? sold:
"Durlnff the Mast two or throe weeks
clubs have been organized and have been
reported to headquarters at tho rate of
over GOO a day, until there are now, by
actual count? 7343 Democratic Clubs, with
an average membershlpf over 200, in tho
states of this Union. With on organiza
tion of Its kind, consisting of more than
2,0C0,0Q0-of members, thoroughly organized
and thoroughly awake to the necessities
of the situation of work in the different
localities, there can bo no reasonable
doubt of the result on the 6th of Novem
ber next" (Applause.)
Thomas Taggart was elected temporary
chairman.
At this Juncture Adlal B. Stevenson, -was
escorted Into the hall by a band, and his
appearance sent the convention Into a
pandemonium of applause. The demon
stratlon continued for some time after
Mr. Stevenson had taken his seat He
had not Intended Ho speak, but finally
yielded to the clamor, and said:
"My Fellow-Democrats: I thank you for
this cordial greeting. I would not un
dertake now to address you, but at a
later time, in accordance with the pro
gramme, I will have the pleasure to ad
dress some remarks to my fellow Demo
crats of the United States. (Applause.)
I can only say to you now that I bring
you words of great cheer from the great
Democratic state of Illinois."
Jones of Toledo Spoke.
Tho next speaker was Major Samuel
M. Jones, of Toledo. , Mr. Jones spoke
In part as follows:
"No mAtter what 'may be said to the
contrary, I think 'that the only real ques
tion that is now before the American
people In this campaign is the question
of tha right of self-government As I
understand the policy of the Administra
tion, President McKinley and his sup
porters seek to set aside the doctrine of
self-government and to establish. In. its
stead, the ancient heresy, of the right of
government by brute force. For me, no
other interpretation of our attitude
toward the Filipinos is possible.
"The only difference between a republic
and an empire Is thjsr In a republic all
the people participate In the government
on equal terms; In an empire the sub
jects aid colonies are ruled by the home
government without their consent or par
ticipation. Which shall we adopt? I be
lieve we will be true to the democracy of
the golden .rule, rather than to the auto
cracy of the rule of gold, and I believe
the American people will reaffirm "the
right of the doctrine of self-government
as set down in the Declaration o'f Inde
pendence. "It has been said our Government wa3
conceived In liberty, and dedicated to the
propositlonthat all men are created equaL
This does not mean all Americans: It
means all the people of the universe, and
let me tell you, worklncmen of America,
that only by standing In solid, phalanx
for equal rights for the little brown men
of the Philippine Islands can you make
your own liberty permanent and secure.
The present crisis is one of the opportu
nities for a National expression of pat
riotism, and I believe that when the votes
are counted next November, tho patriot
ism of this Nation will register a higher
mark than In any election that has pre
ceded It In our National history. I be
lieve the people of this country are ready
for self-government Certainly, If they
are, then every Individual soul Is ready
to govern Itself, for In no other way can
we have self-government
"I am a Socialist; I am a patriot not a
partisan t any sort and I have no hope
In any party that now is, or ever shall be.
THE PORT ORCHARD DRYDOCK.
- AT -r
My hope Is In the good (the God) that Is
In the human whole. I believe that on
this continent andiunder our flag Is yet
to-be- reared the co-operative common
wealth of equals that has been' the dream
of poets and sages and prophets of all
ages."
At the conclusion of Mayor Jones' ad
dress, James Hamilton Lewis, of Wash
ington, was Introduced as the last speaker
of the afternoon. Mr. Lewl3 spoke In
part, as follows:
Some Remarks by Lewis.
. "Therefore no patriots if Democrats- be
not No -servile supplicants for official
favors are we. No dictator sways his de
testable rule over us. No corporate in
fluence commands a domination or wealth
directs. We know no masters but the
people; we worship no king but God."
In referring to Senator Hanna, he sold:
"No bloated Gorgon, swollen with party
dictatorship, sits In sacred place, blinking
his splenic eyes at us as signals for our
every movement Our ideas are our prop
erty; our manhood is our honor. AIL the
people are our children., and free nation
our sacred care. We abandon these to no
man, and we defy the Insolence of mas
.tersor the arrogance of office to take one
'Jot of our Independence from us."
With reference to President MoKlnlev.
"he said:
"Nor have wo put forth candidates for
high office, the chief of whom never ad
vocated a policy which he would not Im
mediately denounce. for party advantage,
nor denounce a principle which he would
not espouse for the enticements of office.
"A silver man when a. silver lining wa3
necessary to his cloud of political des
pair; a gold man in return for the golden

In Illinois.
IS A VERY PECULIAR 3TAT2
Chicago Labor Strikes Charged tci

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29. (Staff corre
spondence.) In spite of the confidence
that is expressed by many Republican,
managers In the East away down deep
in their inner consciousness they are
very much alarmed about the situation In
Illinois. Illinois gave McKinley over
140,000 majority four years ago, and that
seemed to Indicate that It was safe in
the Republican column. But Illinois la
a very peculiar state. In 1892 it cast its
electoral voto for Cleveland. More than
any other large city, Chicago varies lr
Its allegiance to one party or another. It
Is, as a matter of fact a Democratlo
city. It has a very large population which
is somehow Democratic. Yet Chicago
varies, sometimes voting the Republican
ticket and other times going for the Dem
ocracy. Chicago 13 now the element ot
doubt In Illinois.
One reason which makes Chicago a
doubtful city, and which may carry It
for the Democracy, Is the uneasy condi
tion of the laboring men. There haa
been a strike or lockout In Chicago for
the past six months. All building haa
ceased. The contractors In all lines of
building could not make terms with their
men. and they simply stopped work, and
while there has been an abundance of
prosperity in many other lines, and In
other sections of the country, Chicago
has felt the depression resulting from
60,000 idle men belonging to the building
trades, who have not been at work dur
ing the Summer. Of course, it does little
good to say that the Republicans are not
responsible for this. The fact that tho
Republicans are in, and the Democrats
are out Is sufficient to the average labor
ing man when he is dissatisfied, and ha
votes for tho party that is out and
against the party that is In.
German Vote of Chicago Is Large.
There Is a largo German population in
Chicago. It Is sold that there are moro
Germans In Chicago than In any other
city of the world, save Hamburg, Ger
many. The Democrats have made great
efforts to secure thl3 German vote. Every
Inducement has been held out to the Ger
mans to vote the Democratic ticket.
There have been many Germans' noml-
zin-ted for- ofQce- Germans have been.
scared with tho cry of "imperialism.
They have been made to believe that tho
United States Is threatened with militar
ism. And yet strange to say, the Dem
ocrats ore trying to convince the Ger
mans that the United States has Insulted
their fatherland because we have reject
ed Che military proposals of the Ger
man Government In China. If these Ger
mans are men of average intelligence
they are not likely to be caught, but
who can tell? And there may be a largo
foment among them who thinking tho
mhances of the country are safe, will voto
I 'tho Democratic ticket. It is the uncer
tainty of this vote, as well as the un
certainty of the labor vote, that givP3
the Republicans a great deal of uneas
iness regarding the 21 electoral votes of
Illinois.
The state administration in Illinois haa
not been popular. Governor Tanner got
hold of the Republican machine and
forced himself to the top. and has forced
his followers ahead, and In spite of tho
protests of the better element of Repub
licans, just now la determined to defeat
the Hon. Shelby M. Cullom, for the Sen
ate. He seems to be more interested In
the defeat of Cullom than in carrying the
state for the Republican ticket This Is
a very unhealthful state of affairs, for
Tanner certainly wields a great deal of
Influence.
Mason a Flgrnre in Campaign.
It may seem somewhat strange, but
even Billy Mason Is a figure In the cam
paign. Billy stood practically for tho
same policies as Wellington, but he did
not carry hl3 opposition so far as to
Jump over into the Bryan party. At the
same time, Billy 13 an Injury to the Re
publican party. Many Republicans have
got tired of a regime which will send
a -man like Mason to the United States
Senate. Mason's friends in Illinois aro
very much like himself. They belong
to that peculiar swaggering, toughlsh
kind of element, amusing with good fel
lowship, perhaps, but at the same time
a low order of statesmen, and a decidedly
obnoxious element It turned out that
Billy's friends wanted office, and as they
were nearly all of the Mason type the
Administration had to turn them down.
It would not do to appoint a lot of curios
to office from Illinois, but It made them
mad Just the same, and now they are
cutting some figure In the Illinois can
vass. Not so much that they are doing
personally, but they were Btrlkers In Chi
cago controlling blocks of votes which
they may allow to go over to the Dem
ocratic party when the vote is taken this
year.
The same things that affect Indiana,
such as the trusts, the disgruntled old
Boldlors, who do not like the way tho
Pension Onco la run; tho negroes -who
are disappointed In the Administration,
and other things of this kind, have a
tendency to materially affect tho election
In Illinois.
Coal Strllce Is Havinar Effect.
Just now the coal strike la having Its
effect Every advance In coal loses votes
for tho Republican party. The purchaser
of cool does not stop to Inquire whether
the Republicans are responsible for the
strike, or whether the strikers are right
or wrong. When coal is Jumped from ?8
to $7 a ton, the man who pays the extra
dollar is dissatisfied with the advance,
and as the Democrats are shouting that
the Republican party .Is responsible for
the trusts, the coal purchaser is willing
to take a crack at the Republican party
on that line alone.
The Gold Democrats in Illinois outside
of Chicago will stand pretty firm for
sound money, and vote for McKinley.
In Chicago they are likely to do the
same as they aro doing in New York
vote as the gang says, and say nothing.
There Is one element to offset all the
troubles In Illinois, and that tv the re
turn of Republicans who left the party
on account of the silver Issue. There are
more of them In Illinois than In many
other states, and they will tend to, save
the state for McKinley. While It Is not
believed to be In the realms of "possi
bility for tho Democrats to carry the
state, yet It 13 entirely Impossible for
the Republicans to say with any accu
racy that the state 13 safe, and they
will not be able to do so until the sit
uation Is better In hand than at present
