CHARLES HEILBORN & SON
GRAND RAPIDS, lllch., Sept. 7.
During hi trip through Michigan to-
day. Governor Hootievelt made eight
speeches, beginning at Bay City at 8:30
o'clock thl morning and ending at
Hasting, at 6 o'clock. The crowds at
the various stopping place during the
day were large, appreciative and re
ponslve. He arrived In this city at
6 o'clock this evening and was accord
ed a great street demonstration.
The New York governor Is pleased
with his Western reception, although
he complains that he Is overworked.
He says that, while his health la ro
bust and , his strength equal to any
ordinary di-n.ind. he will be glad w hen
he crosst the Michigan state line into
another state where the central com
mittee does not work its candidate so
hard. The governor will sleep here to
night In his private car and go to
fciouth liend tomorrow.
Tonight he poke In the Auditorium,
which was crowded to Its utmost, and
later he made a brief speech In Powers'
theater. His address In the Auditor
ium was a carefully-worded delineation
of the weakness and hypocrisy of the
Democratic position. He said In part:
"There are several great Issue at
stake in this campaign, but of course
the greatest Issue of all Is the issue of
keeping the country on the plane of
honor to which It has been brought
during the last four years. I do not
claim that President McKinley'a ad
m. ruble administration and the wise
legislation passed by congress, which
be has saictioned, are solely respon
sible for our present w;ll being, but I
do claim that It is this admoibtrution
and this legislation which have ren
dered It possible for, the American
people to achieve such well being.
'"I Insist, furthermore, that the one and
only way to Insure widespread Indus
trial ruin would be now to reverse the
pollt y under which we have so pros
pered and to try that policy of finan
cial disgrace &nd economic disaster
which we rejected In
"Our opponents now advance the
most extraordinary arguments that
have ever been advanced In a presiden
tial campaign by any party on behalf
of Its presidential nominee. They have
reafl'rmed specifically their entire '96
platform and yet they Insist vigorously
mat oil they considered of most vital
Importance In shall now be r-le-
gated to a sjbordinate place, and.
more extraordinary still, they actually
ask that Mr. Hryan and a Democratic
house be elected because the senate will
remain Republican anyhow, so that the
president and the house won't be able
to do much harm. Think of It, gentle
men. This Is the position aetuallv
taKen hy n it a few of our opponents
and especially by the men who know
that Mr. Bryan's financial policy Is
utterly ruinous, but who want to give
themselves some excuse for voting
against President JlcKinley because,
forsooth, Mr. McKinley has been too
active In upholding the honor of the
Hag."
Governor Ttoosevelt declared that
the sliver question If a question at all
Is paramoi.nt. Said he:
l tie leaders intcng our opponents
are doubtless uneasily conscious that
their free silver policy would be disas
trous to the welfare of our country;
but having played the part of dema
gogues they must now reap the fruits
of their action. If they came into
power their possession of power would
throw this country Into convulsions of
disaster. They would be obliged to
make war upon thn principles of sound
nnar.ee. The victory of Mr. Bryan
would mean such a strengthening of
me roes of honest money as to power
fully Impress every wavering mind in
the senate so that free silver leglsla
tion would probably pass both houses
and any secretary of the treasure w ho
would nccpt olllce under Mr. Brvan
could do nothing but follow a course
which would plunge our .financial sys'
tern Into chaos."
Speaking of trusts Gow-rnor Roose
velt said that, while the evils produced
must be eliminated, hastv an violent
action should be avoided, for It would
either be inenective or It would. In
crushing the evil, be equally destruc
tive to the good. He recommended
publicity as the first and most potent
remedy for the trust evil, saving:
"We must be able bv law to find out
exactly what each corporation does
and earns. This mere publicity U-self
win euect something towards remedy
ing many evils. Moreover. It will give
us a clearer Idea as to what the re
maining evils are and will, therefore.
enable us to shape our measures for
attacking the latter with good pros
pects of success."
He referred to the franchise tax es
tablished In New York as a step In the
right direction.
Speaking of the war In the Philip
pines he said:
"There is a close similarity between
the arguments used by the Populistle
Democracy at tha moment and by their
analogues the Copperheads of 1S64; and.
exactly as In ISO I, i nov we appeal
for the support of all goid citizens.
In 1864 the Democratic platform de
nounced the further prosecution of the
civil war Just as the Kansas City plat
form denounces the further prosecution
of the war In the Philippines today.
Moreover, in lst4 the platform con
tained precisely the same frantic as
sertion that civil liberty and private
rights had been trampled on and that
Justice and liberty demanded an Im
mediate effort for the cessation of hos
tilities. Much of what is put In the
two platforms could be Interchanged on
this point, and in 1564 there was the
same hypocritical sympathy expressed
for the soldier and sailor that is ex
pressed again In l!Ci0. In each case
the Impression of ympathy for the
soldier ccmlng a a tag to a declara
tion of hostility to the cause for which
the oldler wa fighting, a d'laratlon
which wu curtain Infinitely to Increase
the work and danger of the soldier."
Governor Roosevelt declared that Suc
re for the Filipino would not mean
liberty for all the Inhabitant of the
Island but only for a certain blood
thirsty section who would oppress the
oth.r. letter and Interview of the
soldier and other who have been in
the Philippine were quoted to prove
the awiertlon.

NE;W YORK. Sept. 7. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The news telegraphed from Lisbon
yesterday, that a military expedition
thousand strong Is about to leave the
Tagus for Lourenco Marques, has caus
ed much speculation as to the Portu
guese Intentions in South Africa. For
some time past It has been hinted that
Important developments in Portugu
ese policy might shortly be expected,
and many people believe that there is
a secret agreement between Great Brit
ain and Portugal which trill enable the
former power to exercise a long cher
ished right of preemption of Delagoa
Bay. Others connect the Portuguese re
inforcements with an Intention to re
fuse the Boer fugitives an asylum in
Mozambique and the determination of
the Lisbon government no longer to
permit the Dutch forces to draw sup
plies from Uelajroa Bay.
As long as the Transvaal was an
independent state. Portugal had no
right to prevent goods other than con
traband of war reaching the frontier,
nor could she prevent unarmed burgh
ers from entering the territory; but if
Portugal recognizes the British annex
ation of the Transvaal as valid, she will
be entitled to treat the Boers as reb
els against a friendly state and could
refuse to grant Kruger or other leaders
of escaped Boer combatants permission
to seek refuge within the domains of
King Carlos.
The English government Is extremely
anxicus that the ex-president should n.;t
slip through their fingers, and Portugal
would certainly be doing the British a
very good turn if she denied the old
man asylum and so compelled him to
surrender to Lord Roberts. It Is still
more important that supplies from Mo
xambique should be cut off from the
various guerilla bands which are quite
likely to remain In the field, even after
the final collapse of Botha's army.
There are many signs that the mili
tary authorities regard the end of the
war as close at hand. Lord Roberts is
making preparations to return to Eng
land and has already sent four of his
chargers down to Cape Town. The
general belief is that Lord Roberts is
coming home to take up the post of
commander-in-chief of the Britlsl
army, which Lord Wolselev will vaca--1
In October. Other Indications of th
same kind are that the personnel of t.i
army transport In the Orange River
Colony has been paid off and disband
ed, and the Imperial yeomanry and
scouts employed n that country have
arrived at Cape Town also with the ob
ject of receiving their final pay prior
to embarkation. It Is hoped the war
may be declared officially over before
the general election, which Is almost
certain to be in October.
The greater portion of Lord Roberts'
army will have to remain In South Af
rica, probably under the supreme com
mand of Sir Redvers Butler, several
months longer, but they will be consld
ered as engaged in police operations on
an extensive scale rather than as oc
cupied In a regular campaign.
There is no truth In the statement
that sir Charles Warren has been ap
pointed to succeed Lord William Sey
mour In command of the British troops
In Canada, and nothing whatever is
known of any such appointment either
by the officials In Patl Mall or by Gen
eral Warren himself. ,

INDIANAPOLIS, S?pt. 7.-Under the
constitution of the L'n!t"d States Mine
Workers of America, the executivn
must decide before 8 o'clock tomor
row nlg'nt upn the application of tha
district embraced In the anthracite re
gion for permission to strike.
Indications tonljjjit are that before
tbe time limit ha expired messages
will have been sent to the president of
the three districts In question announc
ing that permission has been granted.
Following these messages will be oth
er ordering the men out of the mines.
The question ot ordering a strike was
not sutmltted to vote at the meeting
of th executive board which ha been
in session here all day. Prejident Mitch
ell said tonight:
"I said some tlm- ago that in my
opinion .there would be a big strike.
After talking with my colleague all .
day I have no reason to change my
mind.
WILKESBARRE. Pa.. Sept. 7.-The
refusal of the coal companies at their
conference In New York to confer with
the miners only makes the belief among
the people of the Wyoming valley the
stronger that there will urely he a
strike. The miners will be compelled
to go out now or back down Ignomln-
lously.
The demand for coal is enormous.
Every kind of carrying vehicle Is being
pressed Into service: Those at the head
of large manufacturing plants are of
the opinion that if a strike Is ordered
It will be a long-drawn-out affair, as
both sides are stubborn.
All kinds of business Is suffering on
account of the suspense. Some of the
coal' comoajk fhlcTOhatlri" tire" event .
of a strike ail the men will not go out
and that thev will still be able to mine
some coal. This may be true In some
districts In the anthracite region, but
not In the Wyoming district. The men
here are pretty well organized, despite
all reports to the contrary, and when
the order to strike is given there will
not be enough men at work to keep
the pumps running.
some of the coal companies are mak
ing use of the columns of the local
press to point out the calamity that will
follow a long strike. It is pointed out
that the I'nited Mine Workers will have
only $71,000 in their treasury to sustain
a strike, and that this sum will not keep
tne striKers and their families for a
week. The total amount of money paid
In wages In the anthracite region a
