London, June 1. English official
dom refuses to comment publicly on
Colonel Roosevelt's speech at Guild
Hall yesterday when he advised the
English people to rule Egypt If they
thought to do, or to get- out. It Is
plain many officials fear that the
speech may result In an upheaval of
Angio-Egyptlan returns. Many de
clare Roosevelt violated diplomatic
propriety and compare his speech to
the Lord Sackville West Incident
when President Cleveland dismissed
the Hritlsh ambassador for advising
citizens to vote for Cleveland.
The press is dumfounded ut Roose
velt's utterances. The Evening Star
says: "lle Is guilty of a grave of
fense against the laws binding host
and guest." The Manchester Ouardlan
calls his views muddled and boyish.
The Standard calls his speech a social
crime, nnd little short of sacrilege.
All newspapers concede Roosevelt's
arraignment of the English people
after receiving the city's highest hon
or violated propriety.
The Times warns Roosevelt that
he must not be surprised "should un
pleasant manifestations occur due to
the sent III veness resulting from his
criticisms. The average citizens are
angered over his speech. They frank
ly state he talked' of things that is
none of his business.
The Chronicle declares the speech
"outraged every conventional canon
of International propriety," and the
Graphic declares, "Even Socrates was
poisoned for giving too much ad
vice." The Standard terms the colonel's
speech as a humiliating rebuke from
an alien critic."
Teddy Not FawI.
Apparently unfazed by his present
unpopularity. Roosevelt spent nearly
an hour reading the various comments
upon his yesterday's speech relative
1 to the Hritlsh administration In
Egyptian affairs. Apparently the
criticisms did not ruffle him. Roose
velt was the guest of honor at a
luncheon given by the members of
parliament. The nationalist leader,
John Redmond, presided.
Something picturesque was looked
for from the former president of the
United States, but In view of his ut
terances In Egypt, In which he gave
praise In full measure to the British
government for the development that
f..llnw..d British rule there. It .
not expected he would revert to that
subject, especially to take England
to task.
Put with a frankness that caused a
stir among those who had gathered 'n
the ancient guild hnll to witness 'the
ceremony of conferring upon him the
freedom of the city of London, Mr,
Roosevxelt declared that while Eng
land had given Egypt the best gov
ernment In 2000 years, yet recent
events, following the assassination of
Premier Boutros Pasha, had shown
that In certain vital points the Brit
ish government had erred and that
England's object In Egypt was the
establishment of order.
"Either you have or you have not
tho right to remain in Egypt and es
tablish and keep order. If you have
not the right and have not the desire
to keep order, then by all means get
out. But If as I hope you feel your

They are now paid $2.75. It Is
belleved 2000 more teamsters In

don't succeed in the fight. A
few near-riots occurred on
Front street during- the forenoon
when non-union drivers were re
moved from the transfer wagons
by the strikers. Strike leaders
declaro they will try to win by
business methods but will not
allow any Interference or wag

trouble. Fruit men are com
plaining that they lost hun

duty to civilized mankind and your
fealty to your own great nation alike
bid you stay, then make the fact and
the name agree and show you are
ready to meet in every deed the re
sponsibility that is yours.
"When a people treats assassin as
the cornerstone of self government it
forfeits all right to be treated as
worthy of self government. Some na
tion must govern Egypt and 1 hope
and believe the English nation will
decide the duty Is theirs."
Mr. Roosevelt dwelt upon the bale
ful Influence of the nationalist party
in Egypt, which had shown In con
nection with the murder of the pre.
mler that It was neither desirous nor
capable of Justice. Nor had England
shown enough of Its strength.
"You had tried to do too much,"
lie said, "In the interests of the Egyp
tions themselves. Those who have to
do with civilized peoples, especially
fanatical peoples, must remember that
in such a situation as faces you In
Egypt, weakness, timidity and senti
mentality may cause Infinitely more
harm than violence and Iniustice.
Sentimentality Is the most broken '
reed on which r '"ness can
lean."
With reference to ti : idan, Mr.
Roosevelt said he felt as he did about
the Panama canal. Although it might
not pay, it was Great Britain's duty
to stay there. In his opinion the Sou.
dan would pny any way. It was not
worth while to belong to a big nation
unless that nation was ready to
shoulder a big task. He prefaced his
remarks on Egypt with the statement
that he spoke as an unprejudiced out
sider, as an American and as a real
democrat, whose first duty was to
war against violence, injustice and
wrongdoing wherever found. He pro
ffered his advice only in accordance
with the principles on which he had
acted as president In dealing with
tho Philippine Islands and declared
that political conditions in Egypt
were a grave menace to the British
empire and to civilization.
