WEEKLY- OREGON. STATESMAN, FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 21. 1302. A GALA DAY FOR MEMPHIS Home Coming.of Gen. Wright Celebrated PRESENCE OF PRESIDENT Was the Overshadowing Fea ture of the Day's Fes- v - tivities GENERAL JOB WHEELER AND OTHER DISTINGUISH ED GUESTS PRESENT TWO SEPARATE RE CEPTIONS TENDERED TO THE RETURNING HERO; j " ' 11 . .1 .. ' i MEMPHIS, Tenn.. Nov. 19 Although the festivities of the- day celebrated the home-coming of General Luke E. Wright, vIce-Governor of the Philip pines, it Is j no reflection upon the. warmth of the welcome 'extended to him to say that President Roosevelt presence was the overshadowing feat ure of the -day. V Excursion trains were run into the city find a number of ; distinguished people- were present to participate In the celebration. Among them were governor Benton McMUIIn and -General Joseph Wheeler, The parade wai a' long one. ' : " ' , , , Immediately after the President's arrival there wm - a. parade through the, streets,, to the Gayoso hotel, where a breakfast t was tendered the Presi dent and Governor' Wright by the ladles of Memphis. In the afternoon the President at tended and spoke at two. receptions given In honor of Governor Wright, one at the Auditorium 'by . the whjte citizens and the other in a hall in the hlmh section by the colored people. There was a Colonial Dames Tea at Gnyoso, and the festivities closed to night with an eloborate banquet at Peabody at which the President de livered a set speech. Including some brief remarks at breakfast the ITesl d.'nt Ttpoke four times during the day. Altogether it was a splendid tribute to the affection nd esteem in which General Wright Is held at home. . XThe Colored Reception. The reception tendered by the- col ored people-, was remarkable. General Wright earned their .undying gratitude during the i yellow fever epidemics twenty years ago by remaining here" wh'-n most of the whites had fled and seeing that the sick were cared for. ? The wholes spirit ofe the proceedings breathed lof and admiration for these friends. Oeher&I Wright, in address ing the colored audience said it would perhaps have been better for. both rarest had "the changes from slavery to citizenships not come o suddenly. : The President's reception, when he was introduced, beggars description. The colored people became perfectly frantic, jumped up and down In their enthusiasm. i atnd ;' yelled themselves hoarse. A1 i fho; 'conclusion of the; President's! remarks', the entire audi ence of over . 8,000 united In. singing "God lie With Us Till We Meet Again." At midnight the. Presidential party left for Washington over the Southern Railroad. No stops will lie made en route,. ' The train will reach Wash lag ton friPtday morning. Gen. Wright's Response. General Wright in response to the address of welcome said the criticisms of the Army and Navy were unjust. Tlwre might s have been Isolated cases of cruelty deserving of censure, but the cases were, the exception, not the rale. " On the whole, he said, the war was conducted In a. most humane man ner. ! '.'':!. , -.1 . , President Roosevelt's address, as de livered at the Memphis reception last night, follows. "It is a real and great' pleasure to come to this typical city of the South ern Mississippi valley in order to greet a typical American, a citizen of Ten nessee, who i deserve honor not only from his state, but from the entire country General Luke K. Wright. We have a right to expect a high standard of manhood from" Tennessee. It was one of the first two spates created west of the Allegheny Mountains, and It was In this state that the. first self governing community of American freedom was established upon waters flowing into th Gulf. The plonkers of Tennessee were among the earliest in that great 'westward march which thrust the Nation's border across the continent to the Pacific, fend It Is em inently fitting that a son of Tennessee should now play so prominent a. part in the, further movement of expansion beyond the Pacific. Thre have Hecn Presidents of the United States for but one hundred and thirteen years, and during lxten of those years Ten nesseerui sat In the While House. Hardlliood.and daring, and Iron reso lution are of right to be expected among the sons of state which nur tured Andrew Jackson and Sam Hous ton: which stnt Into , the American navy one of the most famous fighting admirals of all time, Karragut. "There Is anotner reason why mir roimtry should be glad that It was General Wright who rendered this ser vice. , General Wright fought with dis tinguished gallantry among the gallant mfn who served In; the armi of the Confederacy during the Civil War. W e need no proof of the completeness or our reunion ? as a people. When the war with Spain came the sons of the men who wore the blue and the sons or the men who wore the gray vied with one another! in the effort to get into the ranks and face a foreign foe under the old flagthat had een carried In triumph under , Wlnneld .Scott and Zachary Taylor and Andrew Jackson. It was my own good fortune to serve under that fearless fighter, old Joe Wheeler a memory of which 1 shall al ways be proud. But If we needed any proof of the unity of our interests It would have been afforded this very year by General Wright, the-ex-Con-federate, in hi administration as Act ing Governor of tbePhlllpplne Island. un Qunnsr tne month of I?i rSd a heavIcr burd?n ""pon- .,.. upon any other public ser vant at that particular time; and not the least of hla title to J the way In which h? was able to work --. i ivruiai gooj wiil with the head of the army, himself a man who V- Z vu lne h'ue uniform vv nght had honored the gray. . as .lG?7eral Wrlht' work has been as difficult as it was Important. , The ' i me last four years have def ....r maea mat whether we wish l" "r not we must hereafter play a great part In the world. We cannot escape facing the duties. We may shirk them if we are built of poor stuff, or we may take hold and do them If we are fit sons of our sires but face them we must, whether we will or not. Our duty in the Philippine Island has simply been one of the duties that thus ,wve COI"e Pn us. We are there, and we can no more haul down our flag and abandon the Islands than we could now abandon Alaska. Whether w glad or sorry that events forced us to go , mere is aside from the question; me poini is that, as the inevitable re. suit of the war with Spain, we found ourselves, in the Philippines and that we couitd not leave the Island without discredit. The islanders were wholly unfit to govern themselves, and If We had left there would have been a brief penoa of bloody chaos, and then some other nation would have 'stepped In to do the work which, we had shirked1. It cannot be too often repeated that there was no question that the work had to be done. . All the question was, whether we would do it well or 111; and, thanks to the choice, of, men , like Governor Wright. It has ibeen done well. The first and absolutely Indispensable re quisite was order peace. The reign or lawless violence, of resistance to le git I mateauthority, the reign, of an archy, could no more be ' tolerated abroad than It could be tolerated here In our own land. "The American flag stands for order ly liberty, andiJt stands for It abroad as. it stands fir It af home. The' task or. our soldiers was to restore and maintain order In the Islands. The army had the tak to do. and It did It well and thoroughly. The fullest and heartiest praise belongs to our soldiers who in the Philippine brought to triumphant conc lusion a war, small In deed compared to the gigantic strug gle In which the older men whom I am addressing took part in the early six ties, but Inconceivably harassing and difficult, because It was waged amid the pathless jungles of great tropic islands and against a foe very elusive very treacherous, and .often Inconceivably crtiel toward our men 'and toward the great numbers' of peace lovtng Filipinos who gladly welcomed our advent. The soMiers included both Regulars and Volunteers, men from the North, the South, the East, and the West, men from Pennsylvania and from Tennes see, no less than men from the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Slope and to all alike we give honor, for they acted as American soldiers should. Cruelties were committed here and there. Th fact; that they were com- tjnitted under well-nigh jintolerable pro vocation affords no exJgjse . for such cruelties, nor can we admit as justirt ctitlon that they were retaliatory . in kind. : Every - effort has beeri made to detect and punish the wrongdoers and tlie wrongdoing Itself has been com pletely stopped: But thesp misdeeds w.ere exceptionaland their occurrence in no wise alters the fact that the AmerUcaii, army in the Philippines showed as a whole not only splendid soldierly qualities but a high order of humanity In dealing with their Toes. A hundred thousand of our troops went to the Philippines. Among them were some : who offended against the right. Well, are we altogether immaculate ,at home? I think not. I ask for no spec ial consideration to be shown our friends and kinsmen, our- sons and brothers, who during three years so well upheld the national honor In the Philippines. I ask merely that we do the same equal Justice to : the soldier who went abroad and faced death and lived hard as we show to hls fellow who stayed at home and lived easily and in comfort; and if we' show that equal justice we will doff our hats to the man who has put the whole coun try under obligations by the victory he helped to win in the Philippines. "Rut the soldier's work as a- soldier was, not the larger part of what he did. Wne'n once the outbreak w-a' over In any , place, then began the work of es tablishing civil administration. Here, too, the soldier did his part, for the work of preparing for the civil author ity was often done by the officers and rnen of the regular army, and well done, too. Then the real work, of buiimng up a system of self government for the people who had become our wards w begun, under the auspices of the Phil ippine Commission, Judge Tart being made Governor, and I having had the honor myself to appoint General Wright as Vice Governor, During the critical period when the Insurrection was ending and the time was one oi transition between a state of war and a state of peace, at the time inai i Issued a proclamation declaring, . that the state of war was over and that the civil government was now In complete command. General Wright served as Governor of the Archipelago. The progress of the Islands both in mater ial M-helnir and as regards' order and justice under the administration of Governor Wright and his colleagues has been astounding. "There is no question as to our not having gone far enough and fast enough In granting self government to the Filipinos; the only possible danger has been Ist we sliould go faster and father than was In the Interest of the Filipinos themselves. Each Filipino at the present day Is guaranteed his life, his liberty, and the chance to pursue happiness as he wishes, so lon as he does not harm his fellows.

EXONERATION . OF GOHPERS Anticipated as the Result of thelnvestigation , REPORT OF THE C0MMSSI0N Expected Today President Shaffer Unable to Prove His Charges CHIEF FIGHT. OF THE' DAY THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN CARPEN TERS' ASSOCIATIONS MINERS OPPOSED TO SEPARATION FROM ANTHRACITE WORKERS. . NEW ORLEANS. La., Nov. 19.

The chief fight of the day came In an old struggle between the United Urotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and the Amalgamated Associa tion of Carpenters, the former organ. izatlon asked for the revocation of the charter of the latter organization be. cause of alleged practices contrary to the interests of the trades union move ment, its avowed object being to force the other organization Into Its own ranks. After several hours of debate the matter was referred to a committee ofxeleven, five from each organization and an umpire to be mutually selected. All hostilities are to cease pending the meeting of the commission. The faction in the convention which is opposed to the re-election of Prcst dent Gompers has yet been unable to fix upon a rival candidate. Opposed to Separation. Scranton. Pa.. Nov. 19. After bvlng on the stand for four and a half days. President Mitchell, of the Mine Work ers' Union, completed his testimony before the anthracite strike commis sion today.

Delaware & Lackawanna & Western, Lr high-Valley and Philadel phia & Reading Coat and Iron Com- papy, and also by the attorneys 'of t,he Independent operators. He was followed on the witness stand by Rev. Dr. Peter Roberts, of Mahonoy City, Pennsylvania, a Congregational minister. One of the most Important things brought, out during the cross, examiu atlon of President Mitchell .today -wan his emphatic declaration that the min ers were opposed to separating the bituminous miners from 'the anthracite workers, thus creating, two ofgj nida tions.
