He arrived on No. 29, thirty minute# late. He was ,n*'t by tho Ilanford Cornet Kami, and as he entered the court house u played "Dixie." The pacific temperament of the speeeh made the song peculiar ly appropriate. Secretary Slfaw sai<l in part : "Our political oponenU lav much treason the fact that some American manufacturers are sold abroad cheap er than at home. That the practice prevails to some extent all must ad mit. but that it does not prevail gen erally or to anv considerable extent is easily established. A nonpartisan ?r.dustrial commission was appointed by Congress in 1S9S, which, after spending more tlian three years in the investigation, tiled its report in 1902, which was published in 18 large volumes. This report contains ?'? available evidence on this subject. After making careful compilations from the data therein contained. Sen ator Gal linger, of New Hampshire, stated on the tloor of the I nitcd States Senate, in April, 1904, that ap proximately $1,000,000 worth of Am erican manufactured products are annuallv^old abroad cheaper than in our owil domestic market. No one has ever attempted' to disprove Sen ator Gallingcr's conclusions, though our political opponents continue to speak of the practice as well-night universal. This $4,000,000 worth can be far more than aeounted for it is quite likely the estimate is too low. "The Republican party from the time of-iis birth until now has pro tected the looter who produces for the American market in every ways possible for man to conceive. Repub lican legislation excludes Chinese la bor primarily because the (. hinnman refuses to live on the American stand ard. The colic laborer is unpopular largely because of his inexpensive habits. Ho" neither feeds himself, clothes himself nor houses his family as do Americans. Living on a lower plane, he can of comse afford to work cheaper than American, and his pres ence is a menace, not so much, to American morals as to American la bor. To the extent that he scciuWJ his pro rata share of American wages and fails to contribute proportionate ly to the consumptive capacity ot the country Ins presence is nndesiiable. The Republican party therefore says to him : o'' In less you consent to bo an American consumer yon sluill not j he an American producer. <?ii shall he an American in both respects or in j neither." , 1 The greater part of ihe secretary * I speech was devoted to an intelligent discussion of the tariff, with his views upon the co-related principle* of reciprocity, rebates, drawbacks, etc. The speech was free from sen sational abuse, was calm and dignified and drew the close attention of those who heard it, many of whom dif fered widely from the view* express ed by him.

All peace over ture wore blocked by the refusal or IMuo Guerra, the insurgent, leader in Pillar del Rio Province, to enter into an arrangement for an armistice. Guerra's answer to tlie Government!'s announcoine^ of its readiness/to grant itn arijfiistlce was the blowing up of two fridges on the Western Railway, an English company, the cutting of railway communication be yond Pinar del Rio City, and an at tack on San Juan de Martinez San Juan de Martinez is in tin* hand* of the insurgents and the garrison, con sisting of 100 Government recruits and a small force of mounted rural guards, has been defeated or enp !tured. The fact that other loaders of the insurrection are willing to agree to an \rinistice can have little effect so long ft*-Guerra is determined to pros ecute the war, and there Is slight doubt in any quarter that Guerra can control the situation in his regiou. His force is reported by all those who have visited him? recently as ranging from 3000 to 4000 men, all of them well mounted and some well and oth ers indifferently armed. The Government force opposed to. him, which is ^ under command ol Colonel Avalos, comiydses about 1000 men. ?, It was reinforced by Lieuten | ant-Cblonel Clows with 1 f?0 men and three machine guns from Havana. Colonel Avalos' forces, with the ex ception of small detachments left at San Juan de Martinoz and San Luis, Is at Pinar del Rio City, but is with out means of transportation to go to the relief of San Juan de Martinez. Not more than 4 00 are mounted. Genoral Meenooal said that Guer ra evidently had not been informed that the Government had actually, al though informally, granted an arm istice, adding that a second commit tee had been sent to him. The fact is, however, that Guerra refuses point blank to accept an armistice except on com.itIon t^iat the last elections for President and Congress shall De annulled. That the Government should consent to this is out of the question, and soevery prospect, points to the continuance of the war. In connection wit^i Pino Guerra's attitude it is notable that, the Liber als have growh more independent. They say that on account of the Gov ernment's surveillance and?. persecu tions they will 110 longer hold meet ings, and that it is useless to consider pence under the circumstances. All regard the blowing up of an , English company's rawroad bridge ! fts a serious matter and lllrejy to in- i vite international action by Great ! Britain, or at least an Interrogation ' of the Government at Washington ! by Great Britain as to Whether the : former intends to intervene to end 1 war conditions in Cuba. i MKAT PACK KltS CA PITl'LATK.

All the Indus trial securities advanced, including even the shares of the great llrlansk and Sormovo establishments, which had been steadily declining on ac count of strikes, incendiarism and rioting. A An important, conference between iPmit.ri HhipofT, Count Hayden, Mleh ael Stakovlch and other prominent members of the Peaceful Regeuera tiouist party will ho held to discu is the new developments In the Octo brlst party. v Taking advantage of th% withdraw al of Count Hayden and others, the reactionist wing has started a cam paign <o capture the organization ard turn it against the constitutional movement. The mere progressive leaders now are considering a thor ough review of the t)otobrist program' instead of the cre&tion of a new pi.i>. The lenders secretly hope, it is as serted, that the radical Constitutional Democrats will be victorious at the approaching elections for Parliament, swing the party over to the Loft, and thus muko room for a combination of Moderate Liberals. From r.-embers of the Zemstvo Congress now in session here it is learned that many landlords favor abandoning their proeent estates in the thickly settled provinces in ex change for tracts in the Urals and Siberia. St. Petersburg.-^Tho firm note struck by Premier Stolypin in the of ficial communication embodying the *'holo Govornment program with Its warning to Terrorists and Revolution ists, on one hand, that crime must and would be suppressed at any coat, and to the Reactionists, especially the court camarilla, on the other hand, that reforms could neither be abandoned nor deferred, met with a (?prompt response on the Bourse, where prices were not merely firm, but were strong, without any symp toms of artificial support. HUNGRY FOR LEARNING. : Students Will Not Oppose Opening of | j Universities. St. Petersburg.?At a meeting of Social Democratic and Social Revo lutionist unlvprsttTv Btudents It was decided not/to oppose the reopening of tho universities, which is sched uled for October 14. thereby furnish ing a Btrong possibility that the par alysis of the educational life of the country, which has lasted iov two school years, may soon bo ended. ' Many revolutionary students fa vored abandoning entirely the ob structive attitude, re-entering tho universities and resiimin their stud ies Instead of making the universities "temples for tho revolutionary move ment," which was tho motive behind tho short and fruitless resumption of work in the universities last year. Among the student masses there has grown up a feeling of resentment against the turtles which are depriv ing them of education and a doterm ination to resume studies regardless of any strike decisions.

Toll* Clergymen ami l?uymon Ho llt'ttanls Holier us an KsMcntial I'hi-I of lioyfl Citizenship. Oysloi Way, N. Y - -President Roosevelt ^aii icipaled in tho two hundredth anniversary celebration of Christ Episcopal Church, which he attends durin;.; his summer stay at Ovslcr Hn> . The keynote of the President'# speech, wldch occupied half an hour, and concluded a series of four ad t'resses, was ihat. the wealth of tho nation must not be disregarded, hut looked upon ns the basis for spirit ual development, clean living and civic- virtues. The celebration was Hlild in the church edlllce, which hears tho date t 70.1 on its coriU'rstom*. Admission was by card nnd limited to the church membership and the clergy, it was followed by a collation in the parish hall, of which the President partook, and where he chatted freely jvlth tho visiting clergy and church m^Yhlters The speakers preceding the Presi dent. and to whom he made frequent reference, were the Rev. II. 11. Wash burn. pastor of tho church, who gave a historical sketch of the organiza tion; the Illght Rev. Frederick liur gess, IJ.I)., llishop of 'Long Island, who predicted one church for future generations in America, and that tho ICplscopali the Rev. VV. Montague Geer, of Manhattan; tho Rev. Ucorgo R. Vandewator, of Manhattan. The President said, in part: "I cannot understand any Ameri can citizen, who has tho falntost feel ing of/patriotism and devotion to his county, falling.to lujpreclato the ab solute essentlali peed of religion In Its broadest sense to tho welfare of this country." "If it were not that in our villages and towns as they have grown up the churches have grown In them, sym bolzlng the fact that there were among their foremost workers men whose work was not for the things of the body, but for the things of the soul, this would not be a nation to day, because this country would not be an abode fit for olvlllzed men. "It is the contact of the average Christian. not On Sunday, but on weok dayB*. not In the church alone, but in hlH family and In his relations to hlB neighbor and to the State, that will more than anything else deter mine in the eyes of the general pub lic the worth of the creed that man professes. If a man treats going to church or mere devotion In word'To* his creed or to the*outward forma of his creed, not as un incentive to de cent action, 4>ut as a substitute for de cent action, he is In very truth an ?enomy to the creed he professes; he Is a drawback and not a huip to the church. "Whenever we rend In the news papers that some man, esteemed to b?* a pillar of the church, has been guilty of business dishonesty, or poli tical dishonesty, of offences against the moral law In any shape or way, all who are members of the churched should feel a far greater disappoint ment, should feel u greater regret by f;;r than those who are not. "Til*' nominal Christian, the man who'flas attended lo all the outward m>.scrvances of Christianity, with no inntier what scrupulous care, who nevertheless embezzles trust funds, who is a disgrace in business, in poll ties, or in home life, has sinned against the light, and Is more, not less, blameworthy than if he had never made profession of belief. Much of us, layman and clergyman alike, in 11st strive in our aetual eon duct day by day with tiie people among whom we live to make them understand that whr,t we expect front Christian folk, if they are sincere in their devotion lo Christianity, is The highest standard of conduct. "All men In public life come in contact with much that Is base, with much thai is vennl or cowardly, or dishonest, ami If they have in their hearts any appreciation of what, is really not necessary to true national greatness they must feel the need of every force for good lu this country being multiplied and strengthened to the utmost possible extents We can not continue as a Republic, we can not riso to any true level of great ness, unless that greatness Is based upon and conditioned by a high and brave type of spiritual life. "Men of wealth generally are not a harm but a good to the community. If they appreciate that thoy ????? trus tees for that wealth, that the use of it must also be a use which tells for decency In private life, for honesty f?nd courage in business and In public life. No man is going to bo of any real use to others until first of all he Is able to carry his own weight, and if a man entirely disregards the things of^the body It means that ume one cSoo has to regard them for him. ? "He cannot be a factor for good- In the community at largo unleas/Me Is first Able to support himself anu those dependent upon him. That Is a fundamental, a basic duty for every man, and If be does not fulfll It he In not only doinfp'wrong to those who are noar him, but he la depriving him self of the chance to do decent work for outsiders. 80 we need material well being in ibis nation as a founda tion without which no suporstructurs can bo raised."

Nevertheless tho crimson galley men made more than one good spurt, and when shooting Hammersmith bridge almost, broke the composure of the Cantabs by making a cut of a length in tho British boat's lead. But in addition to their other handicapa the visitors had tho disadvantage of bad steering in an important par', of the course, their coxswain, M. B. Blagdeu, not having fauii.liarizcd him self with all the tricks of the tide. The Englishmen's triumph was due not only to their superiority in start ing and their hotter knowledge of the going, hut to superb steadiness on tho part of their stroke, Stuart, who declined to bo worried by the Ameri cans' gallant efforts to cvertako the pacemakers.
