"In lieu of this, call off the strike, both sympathetic and otherwiaa, as stated, and refer the whole Union Pacific controversy In its present condition to arbitration to be agreed upon.

Mr. McNeill replied to Mr. Harriman's telegram, agreeing to recommend his sug gestions for a s- ttlement, and after a con ference of several days at the company's offices in New York the matter was finally adjusted on the basis of the telegram. Thus a satisfactory understanding has "been reached, and the rights of all the parties interested have been protected, in cluding the rights of the company and its now employes and of the old men who aer to re-turn to the employ of the com pany, and it is thought probable that the method here established will be conducive to lasting and beneficial results and that it may be made a basis of settling any differences in the future.

Everett was particularly proud of the fact that Port Townsend, the Belllngham Bay cities, Anacortes, La Conner and other cities and towns joined In her cele bration, instead of going to Seittle. Tneoaa and Scuttle- All Smiles. Tacoma and Seattle were all -smiles and good nature in the presence of the Presi dent. No matter what they thought, everything unpleasant was concealed. Some facetious Tacomans Insisted not only on reaching Seattle on time, but also on taking a receipt for the prompt delivery of the Chief Executive. Judge Hanford and Representative Humphrey accepted the Tacoma commit tee's Invitation to Join in the boat ride. John Arthur was also along. Not so Mayor Humes and President Cllee. of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. Many time, arrived at Everett nearly a half hour late, and on returning to Seattle was about an hour behind the schedule. HUMES GREETS HIM FOR SEATTLE. President Is Welcomed Amid the Screeching; of Many "Whistles. SEATTLE, Wash., May 23. Glorious sunshine heralded the approach of the Chief Executive to the Queen City of Pu gct Sound, an entry worthy of the head of a Nation that has two oceans for its boundaries. As the steamer Spokane, all gayly decorated in bunting and flags In honor of her distinguished guest, emerged from Sinclair Inlet, where the President had inspected the navy-yard. 100 sirens greeted her from the waiting ships. Stead ily she swept forward, till at the head of the escorting fleet, she approached Seattle. Behind her were the six revenue cutters, then the Queen, flagship of the merchant fleet, followed In a double line by fully 40 steamers, great and small, all decked out In their bravest garb and tooting man fully. A salute of 21 guns, and President j Roosevelt set foot on Seattle soil, the sec i ond President to so honor the city. He was j received at the Arlington dock by Mayor j Humes, who grgeted him on behalf of his t fellow-townsmen. A few presentations, I and the party entered the carriages and EMPLOYERS UP AXD DOING. Steps Are Reins Taken to Form n National Association. NEW YORK. May 23. A meeting of the executive committee of manufacturers has betn held in this city, but beyond the announcement of the selection of commit tees to arrange for the furtherance of the objects of the association in ite fight against labor no formal statement of what was done has been given out. It is known, however, that sub-committees represent ing widely diversified Industries were ap pointed to go to work systematically all over this country to unionize employers: that special steps are to be taken to en gage eminent legal counsel In the several states to protect the manufacturers against boycotts, injunctions and the ac tivity of walking delegates, while at the same time none but cordial good will was expressed for the laboring men them selves. One result of the New Orleans conven tion, which was furthered at this meet ing, was the systematlzatlon of the work of the sjeclal committee, which Is to de vise and put into effect practical plana for bringing about the co-operation of the many state employers' associations. Along that line this resolution was adopted: "Resolved, That the secretary of this association be empowered to develop sources of Information by which he shall be enabled to keep in the closest touch with all proposed legislation affecting the Interests of manufacturers in the several states, and that he be given discretionary power to call this to the attention of em ployers and manufacturers in any state, if, in his judgment, the rights and Inter ests of such employers and manufacturers shall be affected by such proposed legis lation." This was understood to signify that the eharpest sort of watch if to be maintained at the National Capital at Washington, as well as at the different state capitals. A year ago this new organization comprised ICS firms. Today, the secretary announces, it numbers 222G employers and manufac turers, representing every state in the Union. length, with enough tobacco to keep the members in smokes for weeks to come. On the walls of one of the rooms was hung the newly framed letter from Pres ident Roosevelt, thanking the club for its action In making him an honorary mem ber. It read as follows: "Tacoma, Wash., May 22. 1903.

United States Consul McWade, at Canton, under date of April 7, sent to the State Department a detailed report of the famine conditions in Kwang SI, In support of his cabled ap peal for help. He produced a mass of in formation, which he declares to be reli able from American missionary and naval sources in Kal Kwan Pin, Wu Chow and other places, showing the destitution and the consequent suffering, which, the Consul-General says.

The first gun In the light of the Building Trades Employ era' Association was fired last night, when the Iron League, the Employers' Associa tion of Architectural Iron Workers and the Association of Wire Work Manufac turers of New York issued this defiance to the labor 3rganlzations: "The undersigned, on investigation, find that the wages paid to ornamental Iron workers In Greater New York are from 10 to 20 per cent higher than are paid in other cities, whose manufacturers com pete with us in this city. We therefore cannot consider any advance in wages, and have decided to post the following r.oti e at the various plants: " 'This shop will be open May 25.

GREAT THRONG AT EVERETT. President Rides Over the City and AVltnesses an Indian Canoe Race. EVERETT, Wash., May 23. The Presi dential party, under the escort of the Everett and Seattle "delegations, arrived here on the steamer Spokane, at 6 o'clock. A special train of three coaches, waiting on the dock, carried the party around the peninsula to the eastern portion of the city, where a parade was formed ana marched to the grand stand. The Presi dent spoke enthusiastically while on the train of Everett's manufacturing Indus tries, shipping facilities, fresh-water har bor and its rail and water facilities, and also referred to them in his speech. The gaily decorated streets were thronged with thousands of applauding people. The Presidential party, on Its return, drove to the dock at a rapid pace, boarding the steamer Spokane, that stood away from the shore, to witness the Indian canoe race, which laid Its course about the steamer. The President appeared vastly pleased with thly unique entertainment. GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN. STAMFORD. Conn., May 23. Georse Francis Train, who la suffering from smallpox here.

Labor's Demands Will Be Refused. CHICAGO, May 22. General managers of the various railroads centering In Chi cago would not commit themselves today by expressing an opinion on the subject of tho demands made by their freight handlers. They have not yet returned any be sold at even this price. Mr. McWade says so heartrending were the appeals for assistance that he had contributed far be- j yond his means, and would have given more nau ne naa me money. When the report was written the famine was Increasing greatly In severity, and thousands were starving to death. In one village 200 perished from starvation, and he said that unless something in the way of relief came soon, thousands and thou sands will starve. Whole families were subsisiting on a few ounces of rice a day. and were eating herbs and leaves. Unless tho rice and other crops of July, August and September proved plentiful, the fam ine would be only slightly alleviated. In conclusion. Mr. McWade says: "The natives feel that the Americans have come among them for their and our mutual benefit, and not as their enemies, nor to seize any of their lands under any specious or other pretenses. That feeling is emphasized by the grant charity of our people at home. who. In their earnest ef forts to relieve, and not to destroy, know no religion, creed, race or nation." WILL DEAL DIRECT WITH TURKEY Bnltrarla'a Ne-w Decision for Peace in Macedonia. SOFIA. May 23. It is believed that the government will endeavor to negotiate di rect with the Porte. In order to arrive at an understanding In the Macedonian difficulty. The Bulgarian agent at Con stantinople has had an interview with the Grand Vizier with this Intention. It is understood that Prince Ferdinand will visit the Sultan if he can get the assent of the Austrian and Russian Governments to a direct understanding between Tur key and Bulgaria. FlshtinK Near Bulgarian Village. CONSTANTINOPLE. May 23. Fighting occurred all day long Thursday, near the Bulgarian village of Mogll. Details of the fight, which presumably was between the Imperial forces and insurgent bands, have not been received. Mayors from cities and townc not visited by the President were Tacoma's guests, including a large percentage of the lead ing business men and politicians of the state. Everett put a delegation of about 20 aboard at Seattle, and the President shook hands with them, when the boat neared the city of smokestacks. In all there were four ex-Governors and two ex-United States Senators aboard be tween Seattle and Everett. The ex-Governors were: Squire, Semple, Miles C. Moore and McGraw. John L. Wilson and ex-Governor Squire were the ex-Senators. Both at lunch and again at dinner, the President sent for Senators Foster and Ankeny and Governor McBrlde to dine with him In the captain's cabin. At lunch Benjamin S. Grosscup was present with tho President by special Invitation. It Is pretty generally understood, and therefore It is no secret, that at the din ner at Tacoma last night the President enjoyed the lnformillty of the affair, as well as the sharp exchange of bright and pertinent ideas. Many topics of great Importance were discussed, and in the discussion Mr. Grosscup, as well as'H. W. Scott, of Portland, took a prominent part. Mr. Scott and John Barrett left the Presidential party after today's afternoon exercises at Seattle. When the President returned in the evening from Everett, Seattle was ablaze with electric lights and Greek fire. The Japanese colony had a large float out In the bay, trimmed with Chinese lanterns, and In electric letters, apparently 20 feet tall, flanked by powerful searchlights, the word "Welcome" stood out promi nently near the crest of the hill. Last night the Arctic Brotherhood was crest fallen because Secretary Loeb declined to arrange for the President to appear at tho Grand Opera-House here. The Broth erhood persisted, and on the way to Brem erton secured a personal Interview, and i applied all possible pressure, until Anally the President yielded. He was greeted to niff Fire In Panama. PANAMA. Colombia. May 23. Ten large buildings at the Market wharf, the most Important part of the city, commercially, were destroyed by fire early today. the triumphal procession through the streets of Seattle began. Every decorat ed window was thronged with eager sight seers, and the streets were packed with an enthusiastic but orderly crowd. Down First avenue to Jackson street, pursued and accompanied by deafening cheers, the President drove, bowing con stantly. As soon as he passed, there was a rush up the side streets of excited cit izens to secure points of vantage for a second glimpse on the return route on Second avenue, already fully occupied with thousands of spectators. In the Procession. In the President's carriage, which was surrounded by Secret Service men on foot, were Mayor Humes, Governor McBrlde and Secretary Loeb. Fifteen carriages bore the remainder of the Presidential party and the members of the committee of reception. The procession was headed by a squad of mounted police under Cap tain Ward, and there followed Wagner's First Regiment Band, two companies of the National Guard and a company of High School Cadets. Meanwhile the University grounds, where the President was scheduled to give an address, were already thronged. Hours before tho time set for his arrival the audience began to assemble, hoping to And favorable spots. Among them were many veterans of the Civil War, many of whom found seats close to the speaker's stand. Several hun dred pupils of the High School were also there with, their teachers, besides the gen eral multitude. The stand, calculated to accommodate about 300 people, was guard ed by a company of the National Guard under Lieutenant Darlington. Soon the cheering drew nearer. Tho President was approaching, and cheer upon cheer rent, the sky as finally Mr. Roosevelt arrived on the campus. When at last silence was obtained. Mayor Humce Introduced the President with a few felicitous words. The President then delivered an address In a very happy vein. President Lets All See Him. President Roosevelt proved himself a man to meet difficulty In making an ad dress to a large public gathering. The crowd at the University Park' was not only Immensely large, but the sun shone down with a vigor very uncomfortable. ALASKA'S FUTURE PORTRAYED. President Points a Glorious Future for This Northern Land. . SEATTLE, May 23. The . address of President Roosevelt, of the State Uni versity, at the State University grounds today, was as follows: "Mr. Mayor and you, fellow-citizens, the men and wemen of Seattle: "It is a great pleasure for me, indeed. to come to this, the Queen City of Puget Sound, on this, its EOth anniversary, and to express to you my cordial appreciation of your greeting. And yet. after a.l my fellow-citizens of Washington, I have not a great deal to say to you. except that you practice what I preach, and as I try to practice it myself. "I greet you here as the very embodi ment of the spirit which makes us all pToud to be Americans. How any man can be a citizen of the City of Seattle and the State of Washington, realizing what has been done here within the past 50 years, as you here can, and not be good' Americans, Is more- than I can imagine. You are good Americans, but it Is not to your credit. You can't help It. (Laugh ter.) "You can't realize how great your fu ture Is. No other body of water on the face of this earth offers quite the ad vantages o the people who live about It as does Pi get Sound. No state, and I in elude them al! when I say It, has quite such advantages a3 this great State of Washington. Great as has been your growth in the past E0 years, Jt Is bound to be Immeasurably greater in years that are to come. This Is a state that looks out as well as In. This is a state that in the future is destined to assure the dominance of this great Nation of which It is a part in the Pacific Ocean. Great Future Before Alaska. "You, the people of Seattle, are at the gateway of Alaska, and even the people of the country that I come from are begin nlng to appreciate tne greatness of Alaska. The men of my age. who are In this great audience, will not be old men before they will see one of the greatest and most populous states of the entire Lnion in Alaska. "I am glad to notice that our National Legislature now seems desirous of pro viding, at once, for the needs of that great territory. I predict that Alaska will, within the next century, support as large a population as does the entire Scan dlrravian peninsula of Europe, the people of which, by their brains and energy. have left their mark on the face of Eu rope. I predict that you and I will see Alaska, with her enormous resources of minerals and fisheries, her possibilities that almost exceed belief, produce hardy "and vigorous a race us any part of America. "And now I wish to say a word of spe cial greeting to the men of the Grand Army of the Republic, who are here be fore me. Wherever I have been In this Pacific Northwst, I have been greeted by men whose little copper button shows that thy fought for the preservation of the Na tlon in those times that tried men's souls I also have met my own comrades of the Spanish War, who showed that they were not wholly unworthy of their forefathers, who fought In the troublous times of the civil conflict of 1851-65. These men have exemplified the very Idea that has made this great Northwest what It Is. You peo pie of Seattle, and of Washington, have conquered this great empire that stretches away to the north, to the Arctic circle. I You have won It by the qualities which I distinguished Grant, Sherman. Sheridan and Thomas and the others of those troub lous times, and In civil life it becomes them to show the courage, the spirit, the hardihood and the patience that those men showed. I hope that the need for war will never come, but I know that if it does come the whole Northwest will rise level with the standard set by you who followed Lincoln and his Generals In those times of civil strife. Righteousness Must Govern. "In peace there is need for you to show the same qualities of patriotism, square aeaung ana honesty of purpose that you showed then. You had to show a capac ity to fight well; to do and dare, and you did it. Now, In these times of peace, it Is necessary to show the same qualities. We must govern with righteousness. We must show ourselves men able to do men's work in the 'world. As I have traveled from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the thing that has most forcibly struck me Is the unity that you. men of the G. A. R., nchleved In those days of trial by force of arms. "A good American is a good Amroclan in any part of the country. I believe in you. I am confident of your future, and the future of your state and your city. Not only that, but I am confident of the future of the entire country. Inspired, filled and backed up 33 It is by the spirit of youth and endowed with the strength of manhood. It is tho spirit that makes good soldiers and good citizens. Good-bye and good luck."

Souvenir of the Oregon. Just before reaching Seattle tonight. Port Townsend. through J. W. Lyons, presented the President with a half-dozen large bunches of the state Aower. At Everett the employes gave him a piece of the keel of the Oregon, set In rosewood, from the cabin of the same vessel. Owing to a wait on entering the Seattle harbor from Bremerton, the President ar rived half an hour late. Three dozen steam vessels were out in the bay to greet him, each with three long and shrill blasts of their whistles. By a hitch, an attempt was made to leave Seattle half an hour oheid of time, and many tried to scramble aboard as the steamer pulled away. President M. F. Backus, of the Washington National Bank, narrowly es caped drowning. He Jumped to the lower part of the steamer, and hiving nothing to cling to. fell heavily on the top of the piling of the dock. Had he fallen a few Inches either way he would have been thrown into the bay, 20 feet below. Friends assisted him to bis feet, and he continued on the Journey. Subsequently the boat was returned to the wharf, and after departing finally on by boys, who were too apt to cheer at the wrong time, and this proved a little disconcerting. The dense throng also obscured the President's figure from the outskirts of the crowd and those so un fortunately placed were not slow in let ting Mr. Roosevelt know of this. "Hold on one mlurite," cried the President, and stepping back he grabbed a chair, placed it on tho stand and mounted it. while tho people cheered. The President spoke for 2G minutes, making references to Alaska, the Grand Army, the Spanish War Veterans and the indomitable spirit of the great West. He shook hands with a very few people at the close of his speech. .After the applause had subsided tho President re-entered his carriage and was driven back to the wharf accompanied as before by the plaudits of the people. He then embarked once more on the Spokane and started for Everett. Present From Alaska. After his return from Everett, the President was driven to the Grand Opera House. which was crowded with Alaskans waiting to hear him. After delivering a abort address on Alaska, a committee of the Arctic Brotherhood, an exclusively Alaskan order, came forward and pre sented him with a miniature placer miner's pan of solid gold, on which was Inscribed an in vitation to tho President to visit Alaska as the guest of the order. The pan was handsomely chased with the emblems of the lodge. As a pendant to this offering, be aa also presented, on behalf of 11 kind of men and women to take adcan tage of them. (Applause.) What I con gratulate you most upon Is the type of citizenship1 which you have produced. The Problem of Forestry. "There are few problems which so spe cially concern Washington, Oregon and California as the problem of forestry. Nothing has been of better augury f6r the welfare and prosperity of these great states, as well as for the other forest states, than the way In which those ac tively engaged In the lumbering business have come, of recent years, to work, hand- in-hand with those who have made for estry a study In the effort to preserve the forests. The whole question is a business, an economic question; an economic ques tion for the Nation; a business for the In dividual. I do not have to say here In Washing ton that fire is a great enemy of the for ests. Here in Washington It Is probable that fire has destroyed more than the ax during the decade in which the ax has been at work. Our aim should be to get the fullest benefit from the forest today, and yet to get that benefit In ways which will keep the forests for our children In the generations to come; so that, for in SECTIONAL STRIFE CONDEMNED.

The address of President Roosevelt here was, In sub stance, as iohows: "Mr. Mayor, Mr. Governor and Citizens It Is with great pleasure that I have como to trus astonishing new city here bv Puget Sound. I am a pretty good West erner; I am accustomed to seeing extraor dinary growtns, Dut what I have seen to aay nas astomsnea me. CADnlause. I do not believe that even you yourselves re- auze now great the future Is that strotcnes netore this country; tha stretches before this state. In half i century we shall see grouped around Pu get Sound not one or two, but a half-dozen clues, each of which in an older clvlllza tlon would be accepted as the capital of a large commonweaitn. (Applause.) "It has pleased me partlcularlv. travel lng through this state with Its marvelous future, to see how, in addition to taking advantage of the present to the utmost, the citizens of the state are seeing to it that the boys and girls of today shall have the kind of training that will fit them to be men and women of tomorrow. aDie to carry on tne work that you in yourselves have done. It is a, great thing to have such marvelous physical advan tages as you have here in Washington; it is a great tnmg to nave this extraordinary Sound, unmatched in the entire world, for the advantages of commercial Intercourse which It bestows, to have your rivers, your forests your possibilities or aurl culture, of manufacturing, of lumbering; it Is a great thing to nave the physical qualities of soil and climate, the physical configuration of the country which be stows such privileges; but they would all be wasted if you did not have the right which you fought from 'Gl to '65 of lib erty and equal rights under and through and by the law for all worthy men and upright citizens. Walk with your heads erect, too conscious of your own worth to belittle that worth by paying the tribute of envy for unworthy reasons to others. (Applause.) BUTTE SELECTS LOVING CUP. Desljcn of the Present the Mining; Toivn Will Give the President. BUTTE. Mont.. May 23. A loving cup to be presented to President ftoosevclt ha3 been selected. The cup stands four Inches high, and Is beautiful In artistic- finl3h and design. It Is of solid silver, with the inner surface covered with hammered gold. On one side of the cup Is an ex cellent reproduction of the mines on Ana conda Hill; the St. Lawrence, Parrot, Never Sweat and Anaconda are shown clearly in outline, with the smoke pouring out of the stacks, and the usual animated air suggestive of the scene. On the other side of the cup is this inscription in raised letters: "Present to President Roosevelt by Citi zens of Butte. Mont., on the occasion of stance, the country adjoining Puget Sound j his vip!t to Butte en Mav 2T. 1902." shall have the lumbering inaustry as a - permanent industry. The preservation or our rorests aepenas ohlpflv unon the wisdom with which the nractcal lumber man, the practical expert In dealing with the lumber Industry, works with the men who have stuaiea forestry under all conditions. I am glad, Indeed. that such co-operation Is more and more being accepted as a matter of course by both sides. "Here In this country you have pros pered even more than our country taken as a whole. This is a state In which the possibilities of growth are 'literally In finite. You need for the preservation of the conditions under which you have built up your manufactures, your commerce, your agriculture, all that you have done, you need wise laws and an upright and an honest administration of the law. (Ap plause.) "But after all has been said, after we have got the best. laws and the best ad ministration of the laws, it remains true that the essential factor In the success of any community Is the average citizenship of that community, Just as the .essential factor in the success of any Individual must be now and In the future, as It ever has been In the past, the sum of the qual ities which go to make up the character of that Individual. "In closing. Just one word more. I ask that in civil life we Judge men exactly on the principles by which you Judged your comrades In the great war, by which any man when he gets down into the stress of things has got to Judge the man on his right or his left hand; io that war, in time of trial when the marching was bard, when the battle was sore, what you cared for about the man on your right hand or your left, was not in the least whether he was wealthy or not. what creed he worshiped his Maker by; wheth er he came from one state or another; what bis birthplace was, whether he was a banker or bricklayer, lawyer, mechanic, or farmer. What you wanted to know was whether he would stay put. That was enough. So it is in civic life. The surest way to bring disaster upon this people is to separate along the lines of caste, creed or locality, and the worst enemy of this people is the man who seeks to excite hatred of section against section, creed against creed, or class against class. The man who does that Is no true Amer ican, and Is -an enemy of the principles upon which this Government was founded. "This Government cannot and shall not become a Government either of a plutoc racy or of a snob. It can continue to ex ist only if governed on the principles for Scrofula It is commonly inherited. Few arc entirely free from it. Pale, weak, puny children are afflicted with it in nine eases onjfc of ten, and many adults suffer from it. Common indications arc hunches in the neck, abscesses, cutaneous erup tions, inflamed eyelids, sore ears, rickets, catarrh, wasting, and general debility. Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills Eradicate it, positively and absolute ly. This statement is based on the thousands of permanent cures these medicines have wrought. My daughter had scrofula, with eleven Bores on her neck and about her ears. Hood's Sarsaparilla was highly recommended, and she took It and was cured. She is now In good health." Mas. J. H.
