DANVILLE. 111.. June 4. President
Roosevelt delivered the last scheduled
speech of his long trip here, the home of
Representative Cannon, this evening. Not
withstanding the Inclement weather, he
was greeted by a large crowd. The Presi
dent was here for but 20 minutes, and at1
6 o'clock his train left for Indianapolis,
front wucre It will go direct to Washing
ton The last day of the trip was In a meas
ure an easy one. Stops were made only

guest at a dinner of the members of his
party. Dinner was served in the dining
car Gilsey. the guests besides the Presi
dent being Secretary Wilson, Secretary

President Roosevelt was greeted here by
6000 people who had stood for an hour
in a drizzling rain to give him a cordial
welcome. The train reached here at 6:20.
and the President, accompanied by Repre
sentative Cannon and Senator Cullom,
was Immediately conducted to a stand
erected alongside the railroad tracks. He
was introduced by Representative Cannon.
President Roosevelt said it was a great
pleasure for him to meet the people of
Danville, and a double pleasure to behold
the next Speaker of the House. He said:
"I wish to say now that the, way In
which Sir. Cannon was chosen for he has
been chosen Speaker of the House Is
well for American public life. Mr. Can
non has had a great part to play during
his- long services in Consress, the Useful
part that any member of Congress can
play, and yet pre-eminently one which,
offhand, would be said to mediate against
the chance of his further advancement.
For, Mr. Cannon has had to protect the
interests of the Nation, the Interests of
the people, as a whole, from tie improper
demands of localities and individuals, and,
If Mr. Cannon had been thinking of his
own future merely, he woujd have been
warranted in supposing that a service to
the public at large, at the expense of
particular party interests, would have
been forgotten by the public and remem
bered only by the individual to be effected
favorably.
"More than that. Mr. Cannon not merely
had to put a stop to things that were
improper, but to set his face against the
expenditure of money which would have
been right enough In lteelf, except that
we cannot afford it, so that he Incurred
the displeasure not merely of the men who
asked what was most improper, but all
those who asked what we should all have
been glad to give, if the purse of the Na
tion were large enough. And It reflects
not merely upon him. but upon our peo
ple in public life, that these debts of his
should prove not an obstacle to his ad
vancement, but the method of making
him, without a canvass upon his part,
the choice of all parties in Congress for
the st-cond highest position in the active
political service of the Nation."

SPRINGFJELD. 111.. June 4. President
Roosevelt spent four hours in Springfield
today, during which time he dedicated
the new state arsenal and armory erected
at a cost of $150,000, donated by the citi

dent, said he did not know how . many
timeeMr. Roosevelt might be President,
and called for three cheers, which were
given standing.
After greeting the Veterans Association
the President said:
''It seems to me eminently fitting that
the guard around the tomb of Lincoln
should be composed of colored soldiers.
It was my own good fortune at Santiago
to serve beside colored troops. A man
who is good enough to ehed his blood for
his country is good enough to be given a
square deal afterwards. More than that no
man is entitled to and less than that no
man shall have.
"I have met In Illinois many men who
knew Lincoln personally, and at every
place I have stopped I have seen men who
lought Jn the Army when Lincoln called
the country to arms, AH of us now look
ing back over the past 40 years can see
the figure of Llncoln-ad. kindly, patient
Lincoln as it comes above his contempor
aries., as it will loom ever larger through
the centuries to come.
"It is a good thing for us, by speech, to
pay homage to the memory of Abraham
Lincoln, but it Is an infinitely better thing
memory in the only way in which that
homago can be effectively paid, by seeing
to it that this republic's life, civil and
industrial. Is ebaped in accordance with
the ideals which Lincoln preached, and,
which, all life long, he practiced."
At the conclusion of the President's
.speech luncheon was served at the Execu

MAY HAVE BEEN MURDERED
Indian Wrapped In Blanlcct Ix Rhh
Over by Engine.
VANCOUVER, b7C.. Juno 4. A spe
cial from White Horse says unexpected
developments have followed the death of
an Indian named Johnnie Smart, who
was killed by a train about five miles
from here Saturday. The Indian was
lying on the track rolled up In his.
blankets. The engineer thought the
bundle was a roll of blankets and did not
stop.
At the inqueat the evidence went to
show that there had been a drunken
fight between the dead man and several
other Indians, and tha,t they probably In
jured him in the scuffle and placed his
body on the tracc to hide their work. The
police are working on the case and have
made one arrest.

Horrible details are arriving here of the
slaughter of the inhabitants of the vil
lage of Smerdash. south of Lake Presba,
May 2L by Bashl Bazouks. It appears
that on the arrival of the Bashl Bazouks,
GhakalarofTs band of Insurgents with
drew to the mountains without sustain
ing any loss. As no rebels were left In
the village, the Inhabitants experienced
no anxiety until suddenly at sunset the
Turks, who had completely surrounded
the place, commenced a regular bom
bardment, whereupon all the villagers
assembled In pie streets. Though the ar
tillery ceased firing during part of the
night, the Turkish Infantry flred? all night
long. The artillery bombardment was
recommenced at daybreak, but as It was
ineffective the Turks set fire to the vil
lage on all sides and commenced a gen
eral massacre- About 300 houses were
burned and upward of 200 persons, mostly
women and children, were killed. The
women and girls were murdered while re
sisting outrage. Whole households were
slain. Not a living soul was left in the
village. The survivors, many of them
half, burned or otherwise injured, fled.
Some of the fleeing villagers were cap
tured, and had their ears and noses cut
off before they were butchered.
The report adds that 1400 villagers were
in the mountains without food or cloth
ing. One band of these, consisting of 40
women and children, were caught by sol
diers In a ravine and were killed after
horrible treatment-
PREMIER BALFOUR MAY RESIGX.
Ills Cabinet In Badly Split Over
Chamberlain's protection volley.
LONDON, June 5, Letters are pub
lished this morning from Sir William Ver
non Harcourt. Lord Spencer. Lord Rlpon,
Lord Tweedmouth and other Liberal lead
firs, all vigorously denouncing 'Mr. Cham
berlain's Imperial zollvereln proposals as
merely veiled protection. Sir William
Vernon Harcourt and Lord Ripon contend
that they would be a fruitful cause of dis
putes between the mother country and
the colonies and of conflict with foreign
countries.
Lord Spencer says the country ought to
press the government to get the nation's
opinion without delay on the details of
the subject.
The Dally News asserts that In the de
bate in Parliament on the Colonial Sec
retary's proposals, Sir Michael Hicka,
Beach and Mr. Goschen will both disavow
Mr. Chamberlain's policy, while the Duke
of Devonshire. Chancellor of the Ex
chequer Rlichie. Foreign Minister Lans
downe apd Lord Sclborpe, First Loril of
the Admiralty, are all against the Colon
ial Secretary. It Is not Improbable, adds
the Liberal organ, that Premier Balfour,
finding such grave differences of opinion
among the members of the Cabinet, will
resign forthwith..
With the Daily News. however, Jt Is be
lieved the wish Is father to the thought,
and !n authoritative quarters no word of
a possibility of Mr. Balfour's resignation
is heard. At the same time, there Is
ample evidence that a strong body of
opinion is ?ormlng within the Conserva
tive ranks against Mr. Chamberlain, and
urging Mr. Balfour, as head of the gov
ernment, to enlighten the public regard
ing the government's real Ideas and In
tentions.

mission to return from exile. They have
taken Kelle Hall. In Staffordshire, for a

most beautiful women in Europe apd a
granddaughter of the celebrated Russian
poet Pushkin. They have twq children
The Countess does not appear at any
court function because the Czar refuses
to recognize the marriage, but she is well
received in society.
This last appeal by the exiled Grand
Duke has again caused gossip concern

who Is brother to Czar Nicholas and heir
to the throne if no male children are born
to the Czarina. The Czarowltz is still
seeking a bride among the royal houses
of Europe. A match with Princess Vic

SLAIN BY COWBOYS:!
Kansas Cattle War Causes
Three Deaths,
TWO MEN MORTALLY WGUM8EQ
Victim Are Father and Four Sons
and It In Alleged They Were At
tacked While Unarmed and
at Work ia FJcJd.
ST. FAANCIS. Kan.. June 4. Authentic
reports received tonight from the south
ern part of this county indicate that the
Dewey cattlemen went to the Berry
ranch and killed three men, The dead are:
E. M. Berry, owner , of the ranch- -
A- J. Berry. ' j
G. A. Berry.
Mortally wounded: E. F. Btry. Sam
Bfrry. All these were sons of E. M.
Berry.
The Berry version of the matter Is that
three of them were working In the field,
and two of them at the house, all un
armed. wh?n a gang of the Dewey men.
with Chauncey Dewey at their head, rode
up and deliberately attempted to kill them
all.
Dewey alleges that they went over to
gt a water tank that belonged to the
land: that the Berrys opened fire on them,
and they did the killing in self-defense.
There had been bitter feeling between
the Berrys and Deweys ever since the
Deweys invaded the country- About two
years ago ths Deweys commenced to ac
quire title to all the land they could in
the southeastern part of this county, and
the adjoining corner of Rawlins. Sherman
and Thomas Counties. The Berrys are
among the few who have stayed at their
norms and have been In continual liti
gation. It is said that Chauncey Dewey
and his men, two in number, did the
shooting.
The Coroner's Jury found that Chauncey
Dewey, from behind a sod wall, killed one
of the Berrys and mortally wounded ari
other and that the Berrys were absolute

OHIO IS WITH HIM,
(Continued from First Pag'.')
best state administrations the people, of
Ohjo have ever enjoyed.
Why HnnnR. Mnat Be Re-elected.
"Our second duty is .that of electing-Sen-ator
Hmna to be his own successor. Wo
are going to do It because Senator Hanna,
durjng the last six years, has rendered
distinguished and conscientious service
for his party and his country' in the Sen
ate of the United States. I could not heip
thinking, as he stood upon this platform
yesterday, making that splepdld address,
how differently he is regarded by his
countrymen today from what he iyas when
he went Into the Senate. At that time
there was hardly a newspaper In the,
country, hot even in his own party, that
did not seem to take a delight in saying
unkind things about him. cartooning him,
abusing him and lying about him.
"The storm wns such that only a most
uncommon man could have withstood It;
but he was an uncommon man. and he did
withstand It; It djd not hurt him. Con
scious' of his own strength, he simply
'stood pat,' biding his time. He went to
work In the Senate quietly apd unosten
tatiously, but so zealously and so effi
ciently that it was only a very short
time until he commanded the respect pf
every man in that body, Democrats as
well as Republicans. He stands today In
the very front rank of the Senate's most
Influential members, and no one there
does more than ho to fashion the policies
of his party and determine the laws of
the Nation.
"Every step of that advancement was
attended with credit to himself, to his
party, to hl& state and credit to his coun
try. It Is for reasons of that kind that
we Intend to give Senator Hmna our In
dorsement here today, and pur commis
sion again next January when the Legis
lature meets. And so we intend to keep
on re-electing him from time to time, just
as long as he lives, and we hope he may
live forever.
Roosevelt In Eqnally Deserving:.
"The third duty to which I have referred
Is to elect Theodore Roosevelt to be hi
own successor. We intend to do this be
cause he, like Senator Hanna, merltp that
honor. He has fairly won it. He entered
upon the duties of the Presidency under
the mogt trying circumstances. There
wre many who doubted his ability to
succeed, many who predicted failure, but
today it can be truthfully said that he
has not only met, but he has surpassed
the most sanguine expectations of hhj
most ardent friends.
"The people of this country have come
to know him because of the works he has
done, as a man of brains, as a man of
courage, as a man of purpose, as a man
Who is fearless In the discharge of his
duty, I do not hesitate to speak In this
manner at this time, becayse we are all
agreed that next year he Is to b our
candidate, and next year we will tri
umphantly elect him to the Presidency to
continue to administer Republican poli
cies and bring honor and glory to the Na
tion. "The Republicans not pnjy of this state,
but also of the whole country, are united
upon policies, purposes, aspirations and
ambitions. We are, not halting or doubt
ing about any policy; we are not divided
about any question; but look at the' ranks
of the Democracy. They are all broken.
Half of them do not know whether they
arQ yet for free silver. Half of them do
not know whether they should be for free
trade or against It. They are not united
anywhere upon any man. Bryan does not
want Cleveland, and Cleveland docs not
want Bryan, and neither one of tem wants
anybody else. But that is perhaps as well
as any other way, for It does not make a
bit of difference who they nominate. We
win declare anew our belief in our prin
ciples and purposes, nominate our can
didate and go straight forward, and If
they do not get out of the way, run over
them."

COLUMBUS, O.. June 4. Following Is
the platform adopted by the State Repub
lican Convention today:
"The Republicans of Ohio rejoice in the
reeuus or tne itepuDiican Administration
Of the State and Nation. It hnc nmmnioi
the welfare of the entire country. Past
achievements Insure the faithful per-
iormance oz new duties.
"Ohio enters upon her second century

"We commend President

Froth Pole
ELGIN
fidelity to duty, his adherence to Presi
dent McKlnlej's policies, and his own
proved, ability In his high office, showing
him in every way worthy of election by
the people to be their Chief Magistrate.
We "favor his nomination for President '
In 1S04.
"The Ohio Republican delegation to '
Congress has honored the state In both j
houses. Senators-Joseph B. Foraker and
Marcus A. Hanna have splendidly main
tained Ohio leadership. The re-election
of Senator Hanna Is a distinct National
demand upon our state, and we hereby
cordially promise him the unreserved sup-
port of the entire Republican party In :
Ohio.
".Governor George IC Nasb. with his !
able assistants in the state offices, for
their faithful and successful admlnlstra
tlon, deserve the generous commendation
and grutltude of the people. In Ohio, as
In the Nation, Republican achievements
compel popular approval- Our state debt
is Canceled; the cash surplus in our treas
ury is at record figures; .the state' insti
tutions were never more efficiently or eco
nomically conducted. We favor removing
limitations which prevent a more just
system of taxation.
Corporations WroBfcly Treated.
"Ohio ought not to discriminate longer
against her own corporations, thus cut
ting off possible revenuc3-and other ben
efits, and we therefore favor and Indorse
the amendment to remove the present
provision In our state constitution of
the double liability of stockholders.
"We also favor the amendments io vest
the Governor with the veto power.
"The question of transportation Is one
of the most Important business problems
now before the American people for de
termination. The full utilization of our
inland waterways is demanded by all
business interests. We therefore favor
the continued Improvement, by the Gen
eral Government, of the Ohio River, that
a navigable stage of water may be main
tained the entire year.
"As Republican legislation has .always
provided work for those who would work,
While Democratic free trade has produced
the opposite result, so the labor laws,
state and National, have been largely
of Republican origin. We favor their
extension in every way available, par
ticularly those designed to promote har
monious conditions and to secure for
labor just recognition In the settlement
of differences. Public welfare demands
this quite as much as the interests of
employers and employed.
"Better roads would saye Ohio's citi
zens millions of dollars yearly, and should
bo systematically established. They are
especially needed on account of the rural
free mall delivery system, for which the
demand is now well-nigh universal. In
augurated by Republicans, a Democratic
administration refused It a trtaL and Re
publicans have now proved its value. We
favor the extension of the system as rap
idly as possible" Wherever desired.
Republicans Ever for Progress.
'Public improvements have invariably
been favored by the Republican party,
benefiting the entire country many time3
their total cost. Every citizen who Is In
terested In better rivers and harbors, pub
lic highways, improved postal service,
forest preservation, flood prevention, the
great: Isthmian Canal, and other enter
prises of like character, has a rightful
home only In the Republican party, where
progress has never been opposed.
"Nearly 13,000,000.000 paid to pensioners
since the Republican party came Into
power, almost all of it under legislation
enacted without a dissenting Republican
vote in Congress, but always against
Democratic opppsltlon, attests the contrast
between the parties in this respect.. and
yet further liberality was recommended
by the pension legislation of the last
Congress.
"The- Improvement In our relations with
the Philjppipe Islands is attested by the
reduction of our army to the lowest," legal
limit. Education and enlightenment un
der broad-minded administrative policy
are gradually obviating the necessity for
control through military power, and we
commend the rapid and steady progress
made In the preparation of the proposl
tidns for the fullest possible degree of
Belf-governpient. In this connection we
voice the grateful acknowledgment of
the Nation for the splendid service in the
Philippines of that distinguished son of
Ohio. Governor-General William: H.
Taft."
"Under Presidents McKInley and Roose
velt our foreign policy of equity to all has
njade the United States the peacemaker
of the world, guarding weaker nations
from aggression and giving the Monroe
Doctrine a vital force greater than ever
before. As America's part In' preserving
the peace of the world, we Indorse the Re
publican policy of development of the
United States Navy to the highest effi
ciency and we will give eyery encourage
ment possible to our merchant marine In
the extension of American commerce In
American ships on every sea.
Stronc Protection Declaration.
'The protective tariff, the policy of the
Republican party, has made the United
States the greatest industrial nation, as
tonishing the world with the tremendous
development of our boundless resources;
added yastly to our foreign commerce,
greatly increased the prosperity of the
farmer and has advanced American labor
to the best scale of Jiving eyer attained.
We oppose all attacks upon this policy
whatever the pretext, as tending to bring
hack the disastrous days of Democratic
tariff revision and free trade. Changing
conditions and the possible benefits of
reciprocity may call for timely readjust
ment of schedules, but protectioir-as a
"principle and as a policy must be admin
istered by the friends of American pros
perity and must not be sacrificed.
"Combinations for the monopoly of
trade and kindred unlawful purpcee3 are
directly amenable to penalties provided
by Republican legislation and "heir vig
orous enforcement in the courts. No
worthy interests are imperiled, but what
ever will work public barm Is restrained
and thafwlthout resort to the Democratic
plan of destroying all American Indus
tries througH tariff revision pr otherwise.
If further legislation should be found nec
essary the Republican party can be de
pended upon to enact and enforce it with
equity and eifety In every legitimate In
terest. "The Republican party having restored
the National credit after It was nearly
destroyed by the Democratic party, and
having1 maintained, defended and ad
vanced It to the highest in the world,

"Ohio was the first state with soil for
ever free from the etaln of slavery. It
was first to preserve the 'Indestructible
ynlon of destructible states' and adheres
.firmly to every amendment which that
war wrote into our countrys constitution
as binding in honor upon even American
citizen. Therefore, we hold fast to the
doctrine of equity everywhere in the ex
ercise of the election franchise, maintain

representation In the electoral college and
the lower house of the National Congress.
"From its early day the Republican par
ty has accomplished great results In the
State and Nation, and without resting
.upon its laurels has continually pressed
forward to new duties? Unremittingly It

ask for National as well as state aid for

COURT TIES ELECTIOX CP.
Denver in a Dlspnte as to Who Shall
Connt the Ballots.
DENVER, June 4. The election which
was held last Tuesday to select delegates
to frame a new city charter has been tied
up by the courts. There Is a question as
to the proper officers to canvass the
votes. The supporters of the nonpartisan
tlcketj which wag elected on the face of
the returns, hold the City and County
Clerk, and two Justices of the Peace
should act, while the Republicans assert
that the City Council Is the legal canvass
ing board. Today iJudge Mulllns. of the
District Court, issued an injunction to re
strain the Council from acting, and Judge
Palmer, of the same court, made a simi
lar order against City and County Clerk
Aichele.
China Is Gratefnl to Britain.
LONDON, June 4. The Times corre
spondent at Pekln notes a greater dispo
sition on the part of the Foreign Minis
ters to view with favor Great Britain's
proposal that China pay her indemnity
on a silver basis for nine years and In
gold 'thereafter, leaving the question open
whether China shall ultimately pay the
difference. He says that even If the United
Stale's accepts payment of ' her indemnity
in silver it should be remembered the
$25,000,000 which the United States claimed
exceeded her actual losses and leaves a
wide margin p her favor, although not
so large as in the case of some Europeans.
