CHICAGO, July 27. "We had an agree
Sment "with Mr. Donnelly's organization
end tha allied trades which they failed to
live up to, and under the circumstances
We do not care to make any further agree
ments with them." x
This la tie statement which was signed
by the representatives of the packers and
banded to Iho members of the State Board
of Arbitration tonight at the end of a
conference between the two bodies, held at
the request of the State Board, in an en
deavor to bring about another meeting
for tho settlement of the butchers' strike
between the packers and the strikers. Tho
packers received tho State Board courte
ously and listened to their arguments for
a peaceable adjustment of the difficulty.
The announcement that the packers
were opposed to any further peace nego
tiations with the strikers -was handed to
the board by Arthur Meeker and Thomas
Connor, both of Armour & Co., who repre
sented the packers. While from their
statement It would appear that the pack
ers are opposed to meeting the strikers
again on any terms, such is not the case.
Terms of the Packers.
At the last conference between the
strikers and the packers the latter In
formed the union leaders that any time
they expressed a desire to live up to the
original arbitration agreement, signed a
week ago, which provided for the rein
statement of the 'Striking butchers Inside
of 45 days and for the arbitration of all
grievances, the packers -would be willing
to renew the agreement.
The contention of the packers Is that
this agreement Is still In force, and as
they are unwilling to offer any further
concessions to the strikers, they say a re
newal of peace negotiations with the hope
of securing better terms would be useless.
The labor leaders say that when the
butchers went on the second strike be
cause of alleged discrimination by the
packers in rehiring striking employes, the
arbitration agreement was nullified and
that it is necessary to sign a new agree
ment before a settlement can be reached.
Ready With Original Agreement.
After tonight's conference -with the State
Board of Arbitration, Arthur Meeker,
manager for Armour & Co., said that the
packers "were still willing to live up to
the toms of the original agreement, but
that the Initiative -would have to be takon
by the strikers. Mr. Meeker also intimat
ed that the sooner the strikers adopted
this course the better it would be for
them, as in his belief if the strike should
last much longer all the places of tho
strikers -would be filled by new men and
there would be no necessity for the pack
ers to wish to settle on any basis with
their old employes.
Notwithstanding today's failure to bring
the contesting parties together, another
attempt, it was said tonight, would be
made tomorrow to arrange a conference
between tho packers and the strikers.
James H. Walker, a grain broker on the
Chicago Board of Trade, is the man who
proposes to do -what the State Board of
Arbitration failed to accomplish. Mr.
Walker -was In consultation tonight with
the leaders of the allied trades unions
and sevoral of the packers. He said that
he had made considerable progress toward
.the desired conference, and that it was his
firm belief that before tomorrow night he
would be able to announce that his. mis
sion had been a success.
Many New Employes Obtained.
"Police rule" today -was declared In the
stockyards region. During the day thore
were several minor disturbances In spite
of the police, but when night came the
Chief of Police said he was master of the
situation.
At least 1000 new employes were taken
Into the yards and put to work. A con
servative estimate of the number of ani-
raals slaughtered today by the different
plants placed it at about one-half the
amount disposed of under normal condi
tions. Union employes were reported to be
drifting back to work by officers of the
packing companies today, a defection of 51
skilled butchers being claimed by the
packers. Of these the three plants of the
National Packing Company claimed 19,
Swift & Co. 11, Armour & Co. 13, Nelson
Morris & Co. 8.
Refuse to Handle Meat.
Tonight 40 frelghthandlers employed at
the stockyards station of the Chicago
Junction Railroad went on strike. The
men said they -were unwilling to handle
meat turned out by nonunion -workmen.
Should nonunion men be engaged to take
the places of the frelghthandlers, a strike
of union switchmen may follow. With the
switchmen out, thestrike might spread to
the other employes of the various rail
roads. When the union teamsters went on
strike the Chicago Junction Railroad was
depended -on by the packers as a means of
supplying their downtown customers. The
strike tonight, however, leaves the pack
ers without an outlet for supplying the
city trade unless nonunion men can be ob
tained. An attempt to- deliver meat with non
union teamsters would without doubt pre-
t5i1tt'Fje:.' r''''i"'V ' '"' i j iljii i I .ii ijiMwimjiJiijMJiwwMi Viniiiir MifiiatrtTriiiririiiiMi , 'BwHHra '.-
Clplta'te rioting, as the new man would be
harassed by strike sympathizers from the
time they left the yards until they re
turned. Two years ago daring a team
sters' strike at the stockyards nonunion
men were employed to make deliveries wi
der police protection, and bloodshed aadJ
riots took place.
GUARDS FOR MEAT WAGONS.
Chicago Police Will Patrol Halsted
Street.
, CHICAGO, July 27. To minimize the
danger of rioting, should the packing
companies attempt to deliver meat to lo
cal customers with nonunion teamsters,
Chief of Police O'NoIll has given Instruc
tions that all hauling shall be done on
Halsted street, which will be strongly
patrolled.
While It Is said to be the intention of
the packers to ship practically all the
meat to outside points by rail, and make
no efforts to take care of the by-products,
the strikers expect to -cause them much
Inconvenience by shutting off supplies as
far as possible.
Nino -wagons loaded with meat, -were
sent out today -from the Schwarzschilds
& Sulzberger plant at the stockyards.
The wagons had been repainted, the let
tering removed, high sides placed on thorn
and covered with tarpaulins as a dis
guise. They were escorted from the yards
by a dozen policemen, who were relieved
by another detail to guard them on their
way to the north ride of the city.
Eight negro strikebreakers on their way
t work in the stockyards were arrested
today for carrying concealed weapons.
Stockyard teamsters Joined the pack
ing employes today. Seven hundred of
the drivers for the packing companies re
fused to go to work, the teamsters' Joint
council having Indorsed the vote to strike,
and ordered he members of every other
local union In Chicago to make no deliv
eries to the stockyards. Wagons of mer
chants containing supplies and materials
for the various plants were turned back
from every gate. Pickets guarded the
barns to make suro no nonunion drivers
should be employed to take their places.
Practically all the striking stockhand
lers roturned to their work in the yards
today for the Union Stockyards & Transit
Company, an agreement having been
made with them that they need not as
sist in wolghlng or delivering stock con
signed to the packers involved In the
strike. They are handling all stock for
the Independent packers.
Kitty English, forewoman in the sewing
department of the Swift plant, was
mobbed and badly hurt by a crowd of
girl strike sympathizers. They beat her,
tore her clothing and finally stabbed her
in the face -with a hatpin. After a des
perate struggle, Miss English escaped.
No arrests were made.
As a result of the teamsters strike,
managers of several of the plants took
places of drivers on the buses and speed
ily tho army of workers was transported
Into the yards.
It was said the packers at the present
would make no general attompt to em
ploy nonunion teamsters. Plans have
been arranged to deliver meat by rail
road to packing-house branches through
out the city.
Despite the fact that a relief fund of
JCO.OOO was voted last night to alleviate
the distress of strikers and their families
who are In want, there Is little change
today In the conditions of poverty-stricken
strike sufferers. Applicants are rare,
though it Is understood that want con
fronts hundreds and scores are actually
hungry now.
WANT STRIKE BENEFITS.
Kansas City Allied Trades Will Wait
for Orders to Go Out.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 27. There
will be no sympathetic strike of the Al
lied Trades Unions, whose members are
employed at the loca,l packing-houses,
until the men are ordered out by tho
International Union, -when, the men say,
they will obey the order. This was de
cided at a meeting of the Central Labor
Union in Armourdale tonight, at which
all of the Allied Trados were represented.
At the conclusion of the meeting the
labor leaders announced that J. A. Keeler.
president of the Central Labor Union, had
been instructed to notify tho International,
Union that tho Allied Trades Unionists
here will strike when called out by that
organization, but not before. The reason
for this action, it is said, was that the
men here are not willing to go out on
strike unless they are assured of strike
benefits, and they will not receive such
benefits if they are not called out by the
International Union. More than 1000 men
belong to tho allied unions here.
The first real show of violence on the
part of the strikers was displayed when
Armour & Co. tried to take 30 negroes
In a boxcar into their plant. A imob
forced tho crew to stop the train. Then
the negroes -were pulled off the car and
roughly handled. Several shots were
fired, but no one was hurt, and when
the police arrived the crowd had dis
persed. No arrests were made.
Two deported Cripple Creek miners, J.
M. Harris and Charles Roborts, were
mistaken for strikebreakers and at
tacked. Following those disturbances, an ox
tra force of police "was sent to the dis
trict Strikers assert that 25 of their num
ber who were re-employed yesterday
sought their old positions to learn the
actual conditions in the different plants
and to urge the strikebreakers there
to go out.
Today each of the plants increased
their forces, all reporting steady prog
ress in every department Many strik
ers appeared for their old positions and
were re-employed at tho plants of Ar
mour & Co., Swift & Co. and the Fowler
packing plants today. L H. Rich, man
ager for Swift & Co., said today:
"We consider the strike nearly over,
as far as this plant la concerned. To
day -we took back perhapa 100 of our
old men, six of whom were cattle butch
ers. We now have 1250 men at work,
only 250 short of our usual force. We
are killing more hogs and as many cat
tle as during June. We are killing
2000 hogs a day, against 1250 In June,
and -we are slaughtering 650 cattle a
day, -which was the average of June."
INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.
Swift Refinery Afire Negro's Nar
row Escape Stray Bullet Kills.
CHICAGO, July 27. Fire, tumult and
picketing contributed to "stirring scenes
at tho stockyards today, while tho pack
ers, firm In their stand, went ahead
slaughtering stock and doing as much
other work as possible In tho circum
stances. Convinced of an Improvement
In the situation, as- far as available non
union help and capacity otherwise of tho
plants were concerned, the packers had
sent word to shippers to be somewhat
more generous with their consignments,,
and as a result the receipts of cattle,
hogs and sheep wore considerably larger
than had been the rule during previous
days of the strike. There were more men
working, accrraing to the employers, and
more work for them to Jo.
The chief excitement of the day cen
tered about Swift's lard refinery, far in
the interior of the stockyards, almost a
mile from the main entrance. Flames
were seen bursting from the upper floors
of the building, .and before long the whole
of packing town was in a turmoil. There
was a wild rush from all dlreotlons, and,
despite the efforts of the police, the fire
engines found great difficulty in making
a way through the crowds.
Naturally the rumor spread that the
fire was the work of Incendiaries, but
this was later declared emphatically to be
erroneous.
A feature of the blaze was the tem
porary Imprisonment of nine women
stenographers In an elevator shaft In
Swift's office building. The cage was
causht between two floors, fiend the
young women were In a panic Office
employes put up ladders, cut the wire
rwork of the elevator cage, and carried
tnem out to .safety.
HIS WORDS ARt CLEAU
(Continued From Page 1.)
one accord, nominated you as ,tne candidate
of the part for President. I am sure all
RepuBllcaas and a multltudo of good citizens
who do not call themselves Republicans said
"Amen." ,
In pursuance of the usual custom, the con.
vcntlon appointed a committee, of which it
honored me with the chairmanship, to wait on
you and inform you of Its action, which duty,
speaking for the committee, I now cheerfully
perform, with the hope and the confident ex
pectation that a majority of the people of .the
Republic will in November next approve tho
action of the convention by choosing electora
who will assure your election to the Presi
dency as yaur own successor.
Mrs. Roosevelt, surrounded by her chil
dren Kermlt, Ethel and Quentln stood
facing Mr. Cannon almost In the center of
the crowd. Mr. Cannon was frequently
interrupted by applause. His thrusts at
the Democratic party, his references to
the tariff and to the gold standard and to
the construction of the Panama Canal
aroused much enthusiasm..
Mr. Roosevelt's Acceptance.
President Roosevelt shook Mr. Cannon's
hand heartily at the conclusion of the no
tification speech, and then mounted tho
chair to deliver his address in response.
So cordial a reception was given to him
that it was some time before he could
proceed. He was in excellent voice, and.
though he followed the printed text of his
speech, he seldom referred to it. The ad
drees was punctuated by applause. The
President said:
Mr. Speaker and Gentleman of the Notl
ncatlon Committee: I am deeply sensible
of the high honor conferred upon me by tho
representatives of the Republican party as
embled in convontlon, and I accept the
nomination for the Presidency vrlth a solemn
realization of the obligations I assume. I
heartily approve the declaration of princi
ples which the National Convention has
adopted, and at some future day I shall
communicate to you, Mr. Chairman, more at
length and in detail a formal written ac
ceptance of the nomination.
Three years ago I became President be
cause of the death of my lamented prede
cessor I then stated that it was my pur
pose to carry out his principles and policies
for tho honor and the interest of the coun
try. To the best of my ability 1 have kept
the promises thus made. If next November
my countrymen confirm at tho polls the
action of the convention you represent, I
shall, under Providence, continue to work
with an ee single to the wolfare of all our
people.
Party Stands on Its Iteeord.
A party is of worth only in so far as it
promotes tho National lntorest. and every
official, high or low, can serve his party
best by rendering to the people the best
service of ivhlch he is capable. Effective
government comes only as the result of the
loyal oo-operatlon of many different persons.
The members of a legislative majority, the
officers in the various departments of the
Administration and the executive and legis
lative branches, as towards each other, must
work together with subordination of self to
the common end of successful government.
We who have been entrusted with power as
public servants during the past seven years
of administration and legislation now come
before the people content to be Judged by
our record of achlevoment.
In the years that have gone by we have
made the deed square with tho word; and If
we are continued In power we shall un
swervingly follow out the groat lines of pub
lic policy which the Republican party has
already laid down; a public policy to which
we are gl!ng and shall glvo a united and
therefore an efficient support.
Democrats' Record Against Them.
In all of this we are more fortunate than
our opponents, who now appeal for confi
dence, on the ground, which some express
and sbme seek to have confidentially under
stood, that if triumphant they may be
trusted to prove false to every principle
which in the last eight years they have laid
down as vital and to leave undisturbed
those very acts of the Administration be
cause of which they ask that the Adminis
tration itself bo driven from power. Seem
ingly their present attitude as to their past
record is that some of them were mistaken
and others insincere.
We make our appeal in a wholly different
spirit. We are not constrained to keep si
lent on any vital question: we are divided on
no vital question; our policy is continuous
and is the same for all sections and locali
ties. There Is nothing experimental abqut
the government we ask the people to con
tinue in power, for our performance in the
past, our proved governmental efficiency, is
a guarantee as to our promises for the fu
ture. Oar opponents, either openly or secretly,
according to their several temperaments,
now ask tho people to trust their present
promises in consideration of the fact ,that
they Intend to treat their past promises as
null and void. Wo know our own minds
and we have kept of the same mind for a
sufficient length of time to glo to our pol
icy coherence and sanity. In such a funda
mental matter as the enforcement of the
law we do not have to depend upon prom
ises, but merely to ask that our record be
taken as an earnest promise of what we
shall continue to do.
Administration lias Been Clean.
In dealing with the great organizations
known as trusts, we do not have to explain
why the laws were not enforced, but to
point out that they actually have been en
forced, and that legislation has been en
acted to increase the effectiveness of their
enforcement. We fio not have to propose to
"turn the rascals out," for we have shown
In very deed that whenever by diligent in
vestigation a public official can be found
who has betrayed bis trust, he will be pun.
lshcd to the full extent of the law, without
regard as to whether he was appointed
under a Republican or a Democratic Admin-
lstratlon. This Is the efficient way to turn
the rascals out and to keep them out, and
it has the merit of sincerity. Moreover,
the betrayals of trust in the last seven
years have been insignificant in number
when compared with tho extent of the pub
lic service. Never has tho Administration
of the Government been on a cleaner and
higher levol; never has the public work of
the Nation been done more honestly and ef
ficiently. Assuredly it is unwise to change the poli
cies which have worked so well and which
are now working so well. Prosperity has
come at home. The National honor and in
terest have been upheld abroad. We have
placed the finances of the Nation upon a
sound gold basis. We have done this with
the aid of many who were formerly our
opponents, but who would neither openly
support nor silently acquiesce in the heresy
of unsound finance; and we have done it
against the convinced and violent opposi
tion of the mass of our present opponents,
who still refuse to recant the unsound opin
ions which for the moment they think it
inexpedient to assert.
Money a Question of Morality.
"Wo know what we mean when wo speak
of an honest and stable currency. We mean
the same thing from year to year. We do
not have to avoid a definite and conclusive
committal on the most Important issue
which has recently heen before the people,
and which may at any time In the near fu
ture be before them again. Upon the prin
ciples which underlie this issue the convic
tions of half of our number do not clash
with those of the other half. So Ion? as tho
Republican party Is in power, the gold
standard Is settled, not as a matter of tem
porary political expediency, not because of
shifting conditions in the production of gold
in certain mining centers, but in accord
ance with w,hat- we regard as the funda
mental principle of National morality and
wisdom.
Under the financial legislation we have
enacted there is nqw ample circulation for
every business need; and every dollar of
this circulation is worth a dollar in gold
We "have reduced the interest-bearing debt
and in still larger measure the Interest on
that debt. All of tho war taxes Imposed
J during the Spanish War hare been removed
with a view to relieve the people and to pre
vent the accumulation of an unnecessary
surplus. The result is that hardly ever be-
Xor have the expenditures and Income of
the Government so closely corresponded. In
the fiscal year that has Just closed the
excess of Income over the ordinary expendi
tures was $0,000,000. This does not tak,
account of the $30,000,000 expended out of
the accumulated surplus for the purchase of
the Isthmian canal. It is an extraordinary
proof of the sound financial condition of the
Nation that, Instead of following the usual
course In such matters and throwing the
burden upon posterity by an issue of bonds,
we were ablo to make the payment out
right, and yet after It to have in the Treas
ury a surplus of $101,000,000. Moreover, we
were able to pay this $50,000,000 out of
hand without causing the slightest disturb
ance to business conditions.
Prosperity Under Tariff lJUvs.
We have enacted a tariff law under which,
during the iast few years, the country has
attained a height of material well-being
never before reached. Wages aro higher
than ever before. That whenever the need
arises there should be a readjustment of the
tariff schedules Is undoubted; but such
changes can with safety be made only by
those whose devotion to the principle of a
protective tariff is beyond question; for
otherwise the chances would amount not to
readjustment, but to repeal. The readjust
ment when made must maintain and not
destroy the protective principle. To the
farmer, the merchant, the manufacturer,
this Is vital; but perhaps no other man is
so much Interested as the wageworker in
the maintenance of our present economic
system, both as regards the finances and
the tariff.
The standard of living of our wageworkers
is higher than that of any other country,
and it cannot so remain unless we have a
protective tariff which shall always keep at
a minimum a rate of duty sufficient to cover
the difference between the labor cost here
and abroad. Those who, like our opponents,
"denounce protection as robbery." thereby
explicitly commit themselves to the propo
sition that If they were to revise the tariff
no heed would e paid to the necessity of
meeting this difference between the stand
ards of living for wageworkers here and in
other countries; and therefore on this point
their antagonism to our position Is funda
mental. Here again we ask that their promises and
ours be Judged by what ha3 been done In
the immediate past. We ask that sober and
sensible men compare tho workings of the
present tariff law, and the conditions which
obtain under it, with tho workings of the
preceding tariff law of 1804, and the condi
tions which that tariff of 1804 helped to
bring about.
Reciprocity With Foreign Nations.
We believe in reciprocity with foreign na
tions on tho terms outlined in President Mc
Klnleys last speech, which urged the ex
tension of our foreign markets by reciprocal
agreements whenever they could be made
without injury to American Industry and
labor. It is a singular fact that the only
great reciprocity treaty recently adopted
that with Cuba, was finally opposed almost
alone by the representatives of the very
party which now states that It favors reci
procity. And here again we ask that the
worth of our words be Judged by comparing
their deeds with ours. On this Cuban reci
procity treaty there were at the outset
grave differences of opinion among our
selves; and the notable thing In the negoti
ation and ratification of the treaty, and in
the legislation which carried it into effect,
was the highly practical manner In which,
without sacrifice of principle, these differ
ences of opinion were reconciled. There was
no rupture of a great party, but an excellent
practical outcome, the result of tho harmo
nious co-operation of two successive Presi
dents and two successive Congresses.
This is an illustration of the governing
capacity which entitles us to the confidence
of the people, not only In our purposes, but
in our practical ability to achieve these
purposes. Judging by the history of the last
12 years, down to this very month. Is thero
Justification for belietlng that under similar
circumstances, and with similar Initial dif
ferences oZ opinion, our opponents would
have achieved any practical result?
Equal Rights to All.
We have already shown in actual fact
that our policy Is to do fair and equal Jus
tice to all. men. paying; no heed to whether
a man Is rich or poor; paying no heed to
his race, his creed, or his birtbplace.
We recognize the organization of capital
and the organization of labor as natural
outcomes of our Industrial system. Each
kind of organization Is to. be favored so long
as It acts in a spirit of Justice and of regard
for the rights of others. Each Is to be
granted the full protection of the law, and
each In turn is to be held to a strict obedi
ence to the law; for no man is above it and
no man below it. Tho humblest individual
Is to havo 'bis rights safeguarded as scrupu
lously as those of the strongest organiza
tion, for each Is to receive Justice no more,
and no less.
The problems with which we have to deal
In our modern Industrial and social life are
manifold; but the spirit In which it is nec
essary to approach tholr solution Is simply
the spirit of honesty, of courage, and of
common sense.
In inaugurating the great work of irriga
tion in the West, the Administration has
been enabled by Congress to take one of
the longest strides ever taken under our
Government toward utilizing our vast Na
tional domain for tho settler, the actual
homemaker.
Honesty in Canal Transaction.
Ever since the continent was discovered,
the need of an Isthmian canal to connect
the Pacific and the Atlantic has been real
ized; and ever slnco the birth of our Na
tion such a canal has been planned. At
last the dream has become a reality. The
Isthmian canal is now being built by tho
Government of the United States. Wo con
ducted tho negotiation for its construction
with the nicest and most scrupulous honor,
and In a spirit of the largest generosity to
ward those through whose territory It was
to run.. Every sinister effort which could
be devised by tho spirit of faction, or the
spirit of self-Interest, was made In order to
defeat tho treaty with Panama and thereby
prevent the consummation of this work. The
construction of the canal Is now an assured
fact; but most certainly it is unwise to
trust the carrying out of so momentous a
policy to those who have endeavored to de
feat the whole undertaking.
Our foreign policy has been so conducted
that, while not one of our Just claims has
been sacrificed, our relations with all for
eign nations are now of the most peaceful
kind; there is not a cloud on the horizon.
The last cause of irritation between us and
other nations was removed by tho settle
ment of the Alaska boundary.
Monroe Doctrine a Living Reality.
In the Caribbean Sea we have made good
our promises-of independence to Cuba and
have proved our assertion that our mission
In the island was one of Justice and not of
self-aggrandizement; and thereby no less
than by our action in Venezuela and Pan
ama we have shown that the Monroe Doc
trine Is a living reality, designed for the
hurt of no nation, but for the protection of
civilization on the Western Continent, and
for the peace of the world. Our steady
growth In. power has gone hand in hand
with a strengthening disposition to use this
power with strict regard for the rights of
others and for the cause of International
Justice and good will.
We earnestly desire early friendship with
all the nations of the New and Old Worlds,
and we endeavor to place our relations with
them upon a basis of reciprocal advantage
Instead of hostility. We hold that the pros
perity of each nation is an aid 'and not a
hindrance to the prosperity of other nations.
We seek International amity for the same
reasons that make us believe In peace with
in our borders; and we seek this, peace not
because we are afraid or unready, but be
cause wo think that peace Is right as well
as advantageous.
American Interests In the Pacific have rap
Idly grown. American enterprise has laid
a cable across this, tho greatest of oceans.
We have proved in effective fashion that
we wish the Chinese Empire well, and de
sire its integrity and independence
Government of the Philippines.
Our foothold In the Philippines greatly
strengthens our position In tho competition for
the trade of tho Far East; but we are govern
ing the Philippines, in the Interest of the Phil
ippine people" themselves. We havo already
given them a large share In their govern
ment, -and ojir purpose is to Increase this
share as rapidly as they give evidence of
Increasing fitness for the task. The great
majority of the officials of the island,
whether electlvo or appointive, are already
native Filipinos. . ,We areow providing for
a legislative' assembly. This Is the first step
to be taken In. the-future, a'nd It would bo
eminently unwise1 to declare what our "-next
step will be until this first step h&s been
taken and the results aro manifest. To
have gone faster than we have already
gone In giving the islanders a constantly
increasing measure of self-government would
have been disastrous. At the present mo
ment to give political independence to the
Islands would result in the Immediate loss
of civil rigjits. 'personal liberty and public
order, as regards the mass of the Filipinos,
for the majority of the islanders have been
given those great boons by us and only keep
them because we vigilantly safeguard and
guarantee them. To withdraw our govern
ment from tho Islands at this time would

Duty Una Not Been Shirked.
Tho principles which we uphold should
appeal to all our countrymen, in all por
tions of our country. Above all, they should
give Us strength with the men and women
who are the spiritual heirs of those who up
held the hands of Abraham Lincoln; for we
are striving to do our work in the spirit
with which Abraham Lincoln approached
his. During the seven years that have Just
passed there is no duty, domestic or foreign,
which wo have shirked; no necessary task
which we havo feared to undertake, or
which we have not performed with reason
able efficiency. We have never pleaded im
potence. We have never sought refuge in
criticism and complaint instead of action.
Wc face the future with our past and our
present as guarantors of our promises; and
we are content to stand or fall by the rec
ord which we have made and are making.
Grouped Before the Photographer.
After the Informal reception which fol
lowed the address Speaker Cannon sug
gusted that all the visitors assemble on
the lawn at the foot of the veranda steps,

Joke on ex-Governor Black.
Early in the afternoon WHUani Barnes,
Jr., of Albany, pinned a campaign button
on the coat of ex-Governor Black. While
Mr. "Black was conversing with the Presi
dent, Governor Odell approached, and, see
ing the button, inquired:
"Black, when did you leave the Repub
lican party?"
"Haven't left It," was the reply.
"Then why are you wearing that button
around here?"
Glancing at the button and discovering
that it hore a fine likeness of Judge Par
ker, he remarked: "That proves absolute
ly what sublime confidence we up-state
Republicans have in one another."
During the afternoon, before the de
parture of the guests, the President had
conferred with several of them. Tomor
row morning at 10 o'clock President
Roosevelt will start for Washington. He

ening his proposed stay at the National
Capital.
THREAT OF MULOWNERS.
Operatives Will Take Reduction or
Walt Long for Work.
FALL RIVER, Mass., July 27. "Unless
the operatives agree to come Into the mills
and work under the proposed 12 per cent
reduction, It Is doubtful whether any at
tempt will be made by the manufacturers
to run the mills before October."
This statement was made tonight by a
prominent mlllowner in reference to the
cotton mills strike. Involving 20.000 men.
In explaining this attitude the man quoted
said that to continue operations under the
old wage scale would mean a loss of
money. They prefer, therefore, to have
the mills closed than to have them run at
a loss.
No attempt was made to open a single
mill affected by the strike today, and tho
striker' ranks remain unbroken.

Grand Larceny at St, Louis.
ATTORNEY- FOLK INSISTENT
Refused tV Accept JaroIe of Horse
man Who Was Arrested at the
Brighton Beach Race
Track Tuesday.
NEW YORK, July 27. After an all
day conference between his counsel
and representatives of the Circuit
Court Attorney's office at St. Louis,

arrested at Brighton Beach racetrack
yesterday afternoon on a charge of
grand larceny to the amount of $800,
000, today consented to return to St.
Louis In custody without further pro
test.
Ryan had been released on bond last
night and presented himself at the of
fice of the District Attorney here early
today. In the meantime, however, his
attorneys had prepared to resist the
St. Louis officers. They contended that
Ryan already had been put In Jeopardy
on the same charge; that he was not
the person described in the complaint,
and that he would be subjected to
great financial losses In consequence if
forced to leave New York at this tlmo.
The attorneys explained that Ryan
had arranged to sell his horses here to
morrow, and that he desired to be
present at the sale. In view of these
conditions, they doclared that in the
event of the St. Louis officers' motion
ing for action, they would ask for a
writ of habeas corpus for the release
of their client from custody. On the
other hand, if a little time were al
lowed Ryan, he would agree to return
to St. Louis without trouble.
When this was explained to Circuit
Attorney Folk at St. Louis by tele
phone, he at first consented to parole
Ryan upon the Jatter.'s promise to pre
sent himself at St. Louis after the date
for his trial had been fixed. Later in
the day, however, the Circuit Attorney
Informed his representatives here that
such a plan would be impracticable, as
the law would not permit Ryan to give
ball in this state on a warrant issued
in St. Louis.
