Mr. Taft told. In & way of which no one has written, of the human side of hla campaign. "I nave been the subject of a coterie of bosses." he declared, with the great est gpod humor, "the demands of which left me no duty but to respond from 6 o'clock In the morning until midnight to the calls, of the pupulace and If I did not respond the crowd after one minute made a mighty shout Hurrah for Bryan." " Mr. Taft admitted that it might not have been so easy to smile tonight If the telegrams of congratulations which passed between Lincoln and Cincinnati today had been originated In thia city Instead of the home of the great Com moner. Prosperity Within Law's Limits. "Seriously," he declared, "the Indica tions are already apparent, and the hopes which I entertain are that the 'business communities and the-inrestors, both of foreign nations and among our own people, will take part In carrying out the great enterprises which have been projected and which must be car ried to a determination if the country Is to reach its full mead of prosperity. "Business men are to be shown the lines of legality and are to be directed In keeping within those lines ihlch have been emphasized during th las) four years. Business men shall know that they are to conform to the laws upon the statute-books, and that no favors are to be expected for those who break the laws. Honest Business Is Safe. "This shall be so that the men who conduct a legitimate business may un derstand that the Government is back of them and does not intend to do any thing to interfere with their legiti mate advancement." After the applause which met the declaration had subsided. Mr: -Taft added: "It Is a question of the definite knowledge of the statutes and of their clear understanding which shall Diake the honest progress of our busi ness. That In my belief Is all that is necessary to make progress substan tial and enduring." Mr. Taft apologised for directing his words into such a serious direction. . "I know the difficulties that will arise In my new career." he said, "and I know that questions will arise that I do not know of now and that times will come when my friends here will shake their heads an say. 'Poor Bill.' but all I ask Is suspension of Judgment until the situa tion has been understood. Its decision will rest upon the principles of sound and honest business policies which I have outlined." What Mr. Taft said preceding his plain business talk pleased the club Immense ly. He told of the many policies which had been dictated to him by the local committeemen during the campaign and then of the whole object of being Presi dent, which was to enforce the laws and give every honest endeavor a fair op portunity and prosecute with vigor every apparent effort to evade the laws and to affect prosperity by dishonest business methods. The club of which Mr. Taft Was a guest tonight was his host at a dinner which he attended Just before leaving the United States to become Governor of the Philippines as the appointee of President McKlnley.

The message from Mr. Bryan came while Mr. Taft was addressing the General Conference of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society of the M. E. Church.

The speaker was warmly and en thusiastically received by the members of the conference. Each had provided herself with a small American flag.

MUST GUARD NAVAL BASES Pillsbury Would Subordinate) All j Else to Insular Defense. WASHINGTON, Nov. B. Attention is strongly invited in the annual re port of Rear-Admiral Pillsbury, chief of the Navigation Bureau, to the lack of a defended naval base in either the American Insular possessions In the East or in the Caribbean Sea. So im portant Is this question believed to be that, in Admiral Plllsbury's opinion, all appropriations for new improve ments at naval stations or for defense of coast ports would give way to the estimate of defense of naval bases in Pearl Harbor and at Guantanamo. for these bases are vital to our success in war. There Is a renewal of the previous recommendation that the grade of vice-Admlral be revived. It is pro posed that five officers of this rank be authorized. Admiral Pillsbury thinks it due to the service and the country that the commanders in charge of our Atlantic and Pacific fleets should have at least this rank. Prospects are now ,that under the present system there will be an excess of graduates from tha Naval Academy, and the recommendation is made that the period of nomination of midship men be extended from four years to Bix years, with a view to reducing by one-third the number promoted to en signs.

RAILROADS WILL SPEND MILLIONS Are Ready to Loosen Purse Strings, Now-That Pros perity Is Sure. CATCH UP WITH TRAFFIC Will Employ Than sands in Shops, on Tracks and ; Trains All In creased Revenue to Go Into Improvement of Lines. CHICAGO. Nov. B. (Special.) Rail roads, great and small, which have ex perienced some parlous times for two or more years, believe they are about due to be lifted out of the crucible and set with their faces toward prosperity. In terviews today with presidents of more than a dozen gTeat hv .stems brought out the general opinion that with the election excitement over, the country was settling down and getting- a good, firm grip upon business. They agreed that millions of dollars must be spent soon for new equipment, for extensions and In putting roads in the best physical conditions. This means the employment in shops, on tracks and in the manning of additional trains of thousands of men. All agreed that this would come gradually, but could not long be delayed, for roads have permitted their properties to run down to the low est possible notch. E. D. Kenna, vice-president of the St. Paul system, says that he summarizes the opinions of all his colleagues, when he says: "Railroad- think prosperity Is about due and, when it Is fairly In sight, they are ready to spend the money it will bring them In an effort to catch up with the demands of the transportation in normal times. As revenues of road a Im prove, there will be no complaint re garding the amount of money they will spend. As soon as railroads see the way open for it, there will follow one of the greatest periods of activity In railroad prosperity." UNHAPPY ONES IN WAITING Fata of South Dakota's Divorce Law Still in Doubt. SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Nov. 5.

RUMBLE OF WAR IS HEARD (Continued From Pas 1.) the eastward and when Russia, aroused by a wave of Slavism, is prepared to seek a national revenge. France, morally and from a military point of view, is capable of defending her dignity; Great Britain is indisput ably supreme at sea, and Italy is iess and less disposed to sacrifice herself in the cause of another state. Publish Case to World. In conclusion, the Temps advises the government to publish the French case to the world. Prince von Radoltn. the German Am bassador, had a conference this after noon with M. Pichon, the French Minis ter of foreign affairs, but no statement was Issued with regard to this, and it Ie not known whether the Ambassador transmitted the Germany reply. Never theless, the dispatches from Berlin man ifest a less Intransigent spirit and axe interpreted here as evidencing that Ger many is shifting her position and is now likely to accept the French attitude. Ambassador Jules Cambon received in structions tonight to propose to Chan cellor von Buelow that both governments make expression of regret over the Casa Blanca incident and submit the remainder of the questions at issue to arbitration. The chancellor has replied favorably and it is believed that a settlement is close at hand. SO tlTIMATCM FROM GERMANY Casa Blanca Disagreement Xot ' Looked Upon Seriously. PARIS, Nov. 6. It is not believed in official circles that Germany will go to the extent of making' the Casa Blanca incident the subject of an ultimatum. The German Embassy at Casa Blanca gave protection to former German sub jects who had enlisted in and later de serted from the foreign legion of the French army. Still, a considerable de gree of disquietude exists here, and the opinion continues to be held that Ger many is seeking to inflict diplomatic hu miliation upon France as a diversion from the situation which has arisen at home from the publication of Emperor William's Interview. This time, however. France Is resolved to stand firm; Paul Cambon, the French Ambassador in Berlin, has been instruct ed to notify Germany that France main tains her view that the whole question should be arbitrated, and that in the meantime she declines to release the de serters, to reprimand the officers con cerned, or to exchange regrets with Germanj. - At the same time the Foreign Offices of St. Petersburg and London have been Informed of the exact situation. Premier Clemenceau declared today that ha was ready to go before the Cham ber of Deputies on the Issue and resign If he was not upheld. The press of every shade of opinion, in unanimity, voices the approval of the government's attitude and declares that a backdown would be equivalent to the moral end of France. An extraordinary session of the Cab inet was held this afternoon and the de cision not to accede to the German de mands was unanimously ratified. At the same time It was agreed that France should show her conciliatory disposition by offering a means of egress from the present deadlock that should be honor able to both countries. , This was set forth in the following terms: "No aggravation of the present con flict with Germany is expected In offi cial circles, where a settlement honorable to both countries is hoped for If the dis position of the German government is as conciliatory as that of France. An un derstanding could be reached by which the two countries with mutual expres sions of regret over the Casa Blanca in cident could refer the whole affair to ar bitration. But it is evident that this ie the only concession France can make and the refusal of the Cabinet to cen sure the officers and soldiers concerned must be considered as definite."

Barthou, who In a hearty speech of congratu lation said that the French govern ment desired officially to associate It self with the homage done Wilbur and Orvllle Wright for their marvelous achievements. Mr. Wright's reply aroused intense enthusiasm. Very modestly and In simple words he accepted the honor, not as a personal tribute to himself and his brother, but to the realization of the ' dreams of flying- which had fascinated the minds of men for ages. "Ten years ago," he said, "the world ridiculed the idea. As late as 1901 I told my brother that men would not fly for 60 years, yet two years later Mr. Wright spoke feelingly of his splendid reception In France, saying that if he had been a native Frenchman he could not have been shown more 'consideration. He concluded with a tribute to tha wonderful genius of France and declared that future avia tion would hold glory enough for all. New Carriers Appointed. OREGONIAJT 1CEW3 BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 6.
