NEW A COMMUNITY OF INTEREST The Welfare of One Dependent Fun damentally Upon the Welfare of All The Highest Privilege Enjoyed is that We May Work. SYRACUSE. N. Y. The address of President Roosevelt, being the Labor day address opening the state fair, was, in part, as follows: It has been our profound good for tune as a nation that hitherto, disre garding exceptional periods of depres sion and the normal and inevitable fluctuations, there. has been on the whole from the beginning of our gov ernment to the present day a progres-' sive Uetterment alike in the condition of the man who, by his manual skill and labor, supports himself "and his family, and endeavors to bring up his children so that they may be at least as well off as, and if possible 'better off, then, he himself has been. There are, of course, exceptions, but as a whole the standard of living among the farmers of our country has Tisen from generation to generation, and the wealth represented on the farms has steadily increased, while the wages of labor have likewise risen, both as regards the actual money paid and as regards the purchasing power which that money represents. Side by side with this increase in the prosperity of the wage-worker and the tiller of the soil has gone on a great increase and among certain class es of professional men; and the pros perity of these men has been partly jthe cause and party the consequence of the prosperity of farmer and wage worker. : It cannot be too often repeated that in this country, in the long run, we all of us tend to go up or down to gether. Of course there are always some men who are not affected by good times, just as there are some men who are not affected by bad times. But speaking broadly, it is true that if prosperity comes all of us tend to share more or less therein, and that if adversity comes each of us, to a greater or less extent, feels the tension. It Is all-essential to the continuance of our healthy national life that we should recognize this community of interest among our people. The wel fare of each of us is dependent funda mentally upon the welfare of all of us, and therefore in public life that man is the best representative of each of us who seeks to do good to each. by doing good to all; in other words, whose endeavor it is, not to represent any special class and pro mote merely that class' selfish inter ests, but to represent all true and honest men of all sections and all classes and to work for their interests by working for our common country."'

I fj ft RECENT I rAurrnrurt at nicri SHAW TALKS PLAIN TO FARMERS Says Agriculture Has Not Kept Pace with Other Industries. COLUMBUS, O. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw arrived here Friday. He delivered an address at the fair grounds. He did not mention the cur rency question in his speech, confin ing himself to general agricultural topics. He declared that in its econ omies agriculture had not kept paco with other industries, saying: "You grow a fat pig or steer, but the chances are that you cannot tell whether he costs you 3 cents or 5 cents a pound to produce. When these are marketed every bit of waste ceases, every by-product is saved and it is known to the fraction of a cent what each has cost. "At the risk of offending some. I am going to say that if I questioned the first ten farmers I met in adjoin ing states, nine would tell me how pro ductive their farms used to be, how much butter they used to make and how much hay they used to produce. There is no excuse for land deterior ating and as certain as day, economy must be practiced on the farm as it Is in the factory, packing house and re finery. The by-products must be turn ed to profitable account." THE PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT. Decrease is. Shown of Over $6,000,000 for August. WASHINGTON, D. C The month ly statement of the public debt at the close of business August 31 shows the total debt, less cash in treasury. amounted to $928,924,357, which is a decrease for the month of $6,098,951. This decrease is accounted for prin cipally by the corresponding increase in the cash on hand. The debt is re capitulated as follows: Interest bearing debt, $914,541,400; debt on which interest has ceased since maturity, $1,204,070; debt bear ing no interest, $390,629,527; totals, $11,307,375,065. This amount, how ever, does not contain $896,739,869 in certificates and treasury notes out standing, which are offset by an equal amount of cash on hand held for their redemption. NO INCREASE IN DEPOSITS. Secretary Shaw Says that Money Will Be Held in Treasury. CHICAGO The published report that government deposits in national banks are to be materially increased is declared by Secretary of the Treas ury Leslie M. Shaw to be unfounded. Secretary Shaw Thursday made the following statements "I notice some newspaper accounts to the effect that I am about to in crease deposits of money to the ex tent of $40,000,000 available for depos its if conditions should hereafter ren der it expedient to make so large an increase. "For the present I am accepting only applications for small amounts that have been on file for several months and am confining these to as ricultural districts." Make Colonist Rates to Coast.

J. Bryan Leaves New Yo(rL (NEW YORK. W. J. Bryan left iday for New Haven, without i any prominent local democrat! ) . I New . JURY'S FINDINGS SIXTY PERSONS CAUGHT IN P. O. INVESTIGATION. LEOPOLD STERN IS FOUND. The Baltimore Contractor Who Fled the Country After Indictment Will Make a Fight Against Extradition Proceedings by the Government. WASHINGTON After deliberating for several weeks over a mass of doc uments submitted by the opstofflce in spectors, the federal grand jury in this city on Tuesday returned seven in dictments in postal cases, involving sixty persons. All the indictments were kept off the public record and both the office and district attorney refused to discuss the indetments or the parties indicted. The identity of the indicted individuals was thus left a matter of conjecture. It is expected that arrests will oc cur tomorrow morning and that the Postofnce department will have some announcement to make during the forenoon. The grand jury action prob ably marks the beginning of the end of the investigations that have been in progress since the middle of March. Voluminous evidence has been laid be fore it as a result of the Inquiry, and while the present report of the jury disposes of most of the cases, there yet remains several to be passed up. When the latter are disposed of, ac cording to Postmaster Payne, the in vestigation so far as the work at Washington is concerned, will be at an end for all practical purposes. Sev eral of the persons indicted today live outside of Washington. They will be arrested as soon as bench warrants can be served. Postmaster General Payne and Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow received word of the grand jury's action shortly after that body reported, and subsequently they had a long conference on the subject. Both refused to divulge details pending of ficial notification "of the arrests. Two other important events oc curred in the postal Inquiry. Leopold Stern, the Baltimore contractor, who disappeared from Baltimore before he could be arrested on an indictment re turned July 31 last, was located at To ronto, and the long delayed surrender of George W. Beavers, the former head of the salary and allowance division, to the New York authorities took place. The postal officials have been searching for Stern ever since he dis appeared and finally received word from the Canadian authorities that he Is in Toronto. They expressed con sideral vexation at his whereabouts on account of the trouble of extradi tion that now confronts the govern ment and the possibility of his mak ing good his escape now that informa tion has become public in advance of the readiness of the authorities to ef fect his arrest. Beavers' arrest cre ated no surprise, for the government all along has kept advised of his whereabouts, despite reports to the contrary. TORONTO Mr. Stern declined to be seen when a reporter called at his home. He referred all callers to his attorney. Mr. Stern's lawyer said that his client was ready to appear before an extradition judge and prove his in nocence, which is interpreted as a dec laration that extradition proceedings will be fought to the end. He will not leave the city, the attorney said, and if an extradition warrant is secured Mr. Stern will at once leave for Wash ington. AGUINALDO GIVES ADVICE. Urges His Countrymen to Send Their Children to School. MANILA Aguinaldo, the ex-revolutionary leader, but now a pronounced supporter of the policy maintained by the United States in the island, has just addressed a letter of advice to his countrymen. In this he urges that they forsake gambling; to improve their methods of agriculture and to attend the pub lic schools so generously provided to furnish them educational facilities.

DUBLIN The national directory of the United Irish league held a meet ing at Dublin Tuesday under the presi dency of William Redmond, M. P. A resolution was adopted welcoming the Irish land bill as the most substan tial victory gained by the Irish people for centuries, and ascribing this result to the loyalty of Chief Irish Secretary Wyndham, the high public spirit of the liberal party and the good will of the landlords. Cotton Can Land if Desired. WASHINGTON The navy depart ment has received a cablegram from Admiral Cotton at Beirut, saying he is prepared to land a force for the pro tection of the property of American citizens if the situation demands it. President of Chilean Republic. -J3enor Candamo was Tues iled as president of the re ae house of congress was MARINES KEEP GUARD. European Powers Take Active Me ures to Protect Subjects. WASHINGTON. - Minister Irish man has cabled the state department that owing to the disturbed condi tions in Constant'noplu an additional kavass, or detective force, has been stationed at the American legation. This action was taken on the sug gestion of the Turkish government, which has assured the American min ister that it will use every precau tion to protect all foreigners, but has warned the different embassies and legations that it would be well to strengthen the force inside the build ings. In case a necessity develops it is probable that the Turkish govern ment will allow the United States to send a detachment of marines from the squadron which is expected to arrive at Beyroon at once. The United States has no authority to send a warship through the Dardan elles and would have to have the con sent of Turkey and also that of other European powers to do so. Minister Leishman, in his cabie grame, Informed the department that a number of governments have land ed marines in Constantinople for the protection of the embassies. BLOODY DEEDS AT HAND. Macedonians Threaten Violence of a Revolting Character. LONDON Special dispatches from the near east published here Tuesday morning furnished little news regard ing the situation in the Balkans. All the correspondents at Constantinople emphasize the apparent danger of war with Bulgaria, while the Sofia corre spondents are equally insistent as to the prudent and correct attitude of Prince Ferdinand and his govern ment. Accounts from both Turkish and in surgent sources of the operations in Macedonia show that the work of ex termination is proceeding unchecked, and although apparently realizing the danger of a conflagration, the powers are making some attempt to interfere, it is believed that nothing of a seri ous nature will be done until after the meeting of the czar and Emperor Francis Joseph at Vienna, when it may be too late. The insurgents are now said to number 26,000 well armed and efficiently commanded men. UNITED STATES IS BLAMED. Berlin Papers Place Responsibility for Beirut Affair. BERLIN The newspapers Wednes day morning, in commenting on Sun day's outbreak at Beirut, throw the blame for the occurrence on the Uni ted States. The Lokal Anzeiger says: "Now that the Americans have their dead they will make inquiry whether they are responsible for the effervescence in Beirut. By the un precedented action of their minister in Constantinople, and their naval dem onstration, the yearning of the Uni ted States to mix up in European poli tics has found some justification." The National Zeitung says: "It can be seen how serious it is in view of the excitement in the near east, to spread incorrect or bad translations of cipher reports." FIRST DOCUMENT OF PIUS X. Addresses Letter to Certain Cardinals Confirming Appointments. ROME It has been announced that Pius X would announce Tuesday his first encyclical addressed to the Cath olic hierarchy and people throughout the world, but this was incorrect. The pontiff published his first ' offi cial document, consisting of a letter addressed to Cardinals Vannutelli, Rampolla, Ferrata and Yves y Tuto, confirming their appointment by Pope Leo, as a celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the 'dogma of the Im maculate Conception. The letter, which is brief, is followed by a prayer to the Virgin Mary, which will ac quire importance as being the first to bear the signature of Pius X. Dipping Order is Modified. CHEYENNE, Wyo.

THE CUPJS HELD AMERICAN RELIANCE WINS THE THIRD RACE OF SERIES. SHAMROCK MISSES AT FINISH Does Not Cross the Line and Comes to It from the Other Side Ameri can .Yacht Takes the Lead " and Maintains the Same. Time of Race. Out T Rturt. Mark. Ilell.mce 1:U :MJ H:W.X Kinlxh. r.:::2 Shamrock III 1:02:nj 3:M:45 Shnmrork III did not flnlnh. NEW YORK Reliance, the Amerl- cr.n cup defender, on Thursday won th third and final race and the series for that famous sea trophy, America's cup. In a dense fo,, which prevented vision beyond 200 yards, the defender finished the race at 5:30:02 amid the acclamations of tho assembled float. Shamrock III, after running for more than an hour in the fog, missed the finish line, passed by It and then returned to it from the opposite di rection. As Reliance was then being towed through the fleet the yacht's en sign fluttered from its truck and spreaders in celebration of its victory. Shamrock III did not cros3 the finish line. As often said of the historic race when America won the cup, "There was no second." This successful race was achieved only after four futile attempts to sail off the final race and after the out come had been admitted by even Sir Thomas Upton to be a foregone con clusion. Today's was the eighth at tempt to sail a race. After one fluke Reliance won the following races, one by 7 minutes and 3 seconds and the other by 1 minute and 19 seconds. A week ago the first attempt to Fall the third race failed and others have; failed every day this week. On the first occasion Reliance led Shamrock to the finish line by two miles, but failed to reach it before the expiration of the time, limit of five and a half hours. TodaySs victory means that the cup is destined to remain in Amer ica until England is able to produce a genius equal to Herreshoff in yacht designing. Rarely, if ever, has there been a more spectacular finish than Re liance's. After racing over an hour at terrific speed through a blinding fog. Reliance burst through the wal of mist upon the vision of the spec tators on the fleet assembled at the finish line, and, heeling under a great bellying balloon jib topsail until its lee rail was awash, flew across the finish line almost before the spectators could determine for a certainty that it was the defender. Once more the Yankee boat had added to the long string of victories in contests for the honored old silver trophy that carried with it the blue ribbon of the sea SAY THE BETTER BOAT WON. London Papers Commen. on the Cup Yacht Races. LONDON Friday morning's papers publish editorials congratulating the; United States on again retaining the America's cup, and complimenting Sir Thomas on h!a gallant fight. All the journals agree that the contests were won by the better boat and the clev erer skipper and crew and admit that there seems to be no reason why the United States should not retain the cup for many j'ears to come, since it seems that Great Britain has some thine to learn from America in the matter of yacht building. The Daily Telegraph expresses the general feeling, when, paying a trib ute to the fairness with which the contests were conducted, it says: "An entirely honorable chapter added to the history of the America's cup." THE GREAT NORTHERN HOLDUP Bandits Fire on the Engineer at Great Falls, Mont. BUTTE, Mont. A special to the Inter-Mountain from Great Falls says: What is believed to have been an attempt to hold up Express No. 151 on the Great Northern railroad al most within the city limits of Great Falls was foiled by the engineer, who ran his train by the spot where it was to have been halted so fast that the robbers could not get at him. Just east of the city the engineer saw figures on the side of the track in the darkness. Some one shouted something, but the engineer paid no attention. There was a shot and the ball passed within a foot of his head and smashed a glas sin the cab. De tectives were hurried to the scene, but no one was found there. By Threat of Death. BUCHAREST. M.
