This is our first duty, is a national duty, and democrats and republicans alike are bound to help in that duty. "I hare no doubt the American peo ple will readily consent to erect around them a ring of self governing republics ouoe they are convinced the respective people are capable of autonomy. But I have no doubt that the American flag will float wherever It is now planted until such time as there is no doubt that a free and orderly government can be established and exercised by these people. "We hare stepped in and our para mount duty, superior to all others, is to afford protection to those lands and to the individuals and the trade in those lands.' 1 Fonner Governor Pattlson declared he was out of politics, had been for three years and knew nothing but what he read in the newspapers. Finally he consented to say: "in the east we think the radical wing of the democracy Is still in power. It looks to us as if the Chicago plat form were to be re-enacted and aa a democrat. If the majority want It, I say let us have It The majority to rule that is a great democratic principle. "Now there is the matter of trusts. The trusts will break of their own weight.

PORTER'S VIEWS Anglo-American Alliance or Agree ment for Open Door In China Improbable. LONDON, Sept. I7.-The Dally News publishes an Interview this morning with Robert P. Porter, on British trade In the course of which he says he be lieve that, despite a decline In some products and the growing strength of her rivals. Great Britain still holds her own In the markets of the world. He contrasts England's advantages over Germany, "who has not yet real Ised that it la fcer interest to cease piotcctlng the aggrarlans at the expense of the manufacturers." With regard to the tariff question, Mr. Porter says; "Conditions are so feared. Frost have been general throughout Iowa, Missouri. Northern Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Kan sas.

He does not believe that any American statesman seriously entertains the idea of an Anglo-American agreement or alliance for retaining an open door In China.

Great difficulty was experienced In reaehlns the needy on account of a lack of Intelligent practical co-operation on the part of the alcaldes of the districts.

All available passenger equipment of the various railroads Is being concen trated at the most advantageous ter mini for bringing crowds into New Yo'K. The greyest Inward movement Is expected on Thursday night. All the roads have been running about two-thirds of their capacity for the last week. Railroad men them selves express astonishment at the great advance movement toward New York. Low rates do not go into ef fect until Thursday, so their induce ment has not brought the thousands who have come so far In advance of the reception ceremonies. It shows, too, the railroad men say, that the vis itors who are now coming to New York have plenty of money to spend. The railroads will make no reduction even 'ifter Thurxday for points within a radius of 100 miles of New York. The, rate after Thursday for points beyond that radius will be one and one-third fare for the round trip.

CHICAGO. Sept. 27.-The Record says: American horses will drag English ammunition wagons and heavy artll lery over the plains of the Transvaal in the event Great Britain and the Boers clash at arms. Orders came from London yesterday to a firm of horse dealers at the Union Stock Yards to buy up all the 1200 pound "gunners" the western market afforded, and make arrangements for Immediate shipment. Stress was laid upon the fact that the animals were wanted for the Impending South Afri can campaign and the commission was marked "rush" and "Imperative." I tne norse market at tne yards was stirred by the news. Telegraph orders were flashed to breeders In Illinois, Missouri and Iowa for-reservations of choice stock with the expectation that the first consignment will leave Chi cago for England the latter part of the j week. The specifications that must be ad ! hered to In the selection of the artll j lery horses, dealers say, will make the filling of such a wholesale order some what difficult of accomplishment at this time. Tie prices which the British govern ment set as a limit range from $110 to 1125 a head. One firm declared that the extra high standard needed wouldi mean a practical cornering of choice stock If a consignment aa heavy as 500 horses was made.
