MILLER BOOMS THE NICARAGUA CANAL Cnrl Mrlinrc Ilellipm nn Aililrrmi In * Wliluli lie O | > iioMfN JSnllonul of Our Territory. SARATOGA , N. Y. . Aug. 19. The national conference on the foreign yollcy of the United States woa opened heio today with an address by Henry Wade Rogers of Chicago cage , chairman of the committee of arrange ments. Mr. Rogers says that the confer ence was called to consider some ot the mo mentous questions in the history ofthe re- puhjlc. Ho spoke of the war nnd returned prayerful thanks for the peace now at hand. While peace had arrived , he said , there were many serious problems to be con ldcrcd. He referred to the close friendship between the Americans and British , which would promptly lead to International arbitration and finally to universal peace. The speaker spoke favorably of the Nicaragua canal , which he argued should bo built nnd con trolled by tbo United States government. That canal would shorten the distance by water to San Francisco by 10,000 miles. A reference to the trip of the battleship Oregon elicited hearty applause. Mr. Rogers said the principal problem before - fore the present conference was that of terri torial expansion , on which many distin guished men of national reputation hold widely divergent views. Indirectly ho re ferred to the positions respectively held by. the expansionists and the anti-expansionists. Whether we should annex the colonies that arc lost to Spain or control them by carpet bag goiernmcnts Is a problem that has be come the most serious to Americans , who should ponder wisely over It In order to not make a mistake. Commercial Interests urge that wo adopt a colonial system , said Mr. Rogers , "But business alone ought not to control our conduct. " for the Canal. The question of the Nlcaraguan canal was taken up and Warner Miller of New York took the platform. Ho briefly spoke of his persistent advocacy of the canal. Events of I live last three months demanded Its imme diate construction and he believed tbo Amer ican people were universally In favor of U as were also nil of Europe. He spoke of the | numerous surveys made of every proposed route to pierce the isthmus and said the route by way of the Nicaragua canal has re ceived the greatest consideration as both feasible and desirable. Mr. Miller gave the history of the Nicaragua route , beginning with tbe administration ot General Grant and continuing down to the present time. Had not the canal treaty been blocked by antagonistic legislation years ago the canal would iiave already been built and now in actual operation , rinnnclal distress for a number of years also hindered the work. Distinguished senators have for years urged the building of the canal , but congress did not act favorably upon it. The Nicaragua route Is looked upon as the most feasible ' and far preferable to that of Panama. The canal can be built for from $100,000,000 to $140,000,000 , as shown by statements made by experts. Is the canal desir able ? That the canal would reduce the distance between New York and San Fran cisco 10.000 miles Is alone a sufficient an swer In the affirmative. The railways and canals of the country have made all sec tions accessible and available and have lu- crsased the wealth of the United States. Railroads have been built In advance of the population and have carried emigrants to the western plains , where there Is now a teeming population developing the broad acres. Mr. Miller referred to several canals that have materially aided In opening up the country. The Nicaragua canal alone would save us 10,000 miles nnd would be a great outlet for those states on the Pacific coast. The continent Is grldlroned with transcon tinental roads , but these do not alone af ford the advantages that could be secured by a canal. It Is a question of cheap transportation and the Nicaragua canal would solve the problem. Within ten years after the completion of the canal , the popu lation of the Pacific states will have In creased to 10,000,000. One of the best re sults of the Spanish-American war Is that It will compel the building of the Nlcarn- guan canal. The entire morning session was devoted to a discussion of the Nicaragua canal. OUcutii Colonial RximiiNloii. The colonial extension problem was taken up at the afternoon session. Carl Schurz of New York spoke at length , giving the views of the anti-expansionists , whose cause he advocated. He wan opposed by Judge P. S. Grosscup of Chicago , who Is an car- nest expansionist , aud who spoke at great length. Judge Grosscup said , in part : I am among those , Mr. President , who be lieve that the people of the Unltc.d States can , without breach of faith to the promises of our past or anrlouH danger to the ex pectations of our future , hold permanently all.or a portion of the territory that has been occupied by our troops during the prog ress of the war. I nm ready to go a step further nnd assert that the obligations of our duty toward mankind , and especially toward the particular peoples who have been drawn within the sphere of our opera tions and tovuird the future usefulness of ourselves , demand that wo should hold per manently so much of these , the captures of war , as are needed to round out the moral purposes for which it was inaugurated nnd the- greater destiny upon which , as n nation , we are nbout to enter. I challenge atho outset the statement , so liberally Indulged by our opponents , that , In taking thU stand , thu American people are moved ly emotionalism or nro deceived by general- IHes. IHes.Wars Wars are the thunderstorms of clvlllra- tlou ; they never subside without clearing the atmosphere of much of its sultriness. The one through which \\o are just passing seems to have enveloped the people of Amer ica In u new atmosphere. We see , more clearly than ever before , the things that in this world can be called our own and the things that stand apart from us , the pos session : ! of others , ourselves and our rela tions to the other nations of thn world nr distinct fiom ourselves. The air through ' Jilch we look Is clearer , cur vision longer .uul the outlines of tin1 future have taken on a distinctness that leaves us no longer in doubt which way to take up our course. Four months ago the eyes of the na tion were habitually ii.rned Inwardly upo'i llbtflf , Th" Industries mil commerce of this continent monopolized us. Our policies \vsto the politics of America alone running too frequently , particularly In their financial nnd commercial phases into a thing ipart from the corresponding systems of the world. U VCR , lii my judgment , a providential hand , gloved In the smoke o' battles , that led us out from these confining boundaries to the mountain spur we now rocupy. There Is moral elevation in n wide out look. As a people , we , for the first time , look clearly over the empires of the earth. Without the sacrifice of righteousness or of honor , but ns tin ministers ot both , the In vitation comes to take our share In the op portunities and responsibilities of this wider field. The Immedlatlo question , the cno that , by Its solution , will either bring us In or bar us out of this larger national sphere , relates to the permanent occupa tion of our Spanish conquests. The trun question la not whether Porto Rico , Hawaii nnd ths Philippines are intrinsically worth the responsibilities incurred by their occu pation ; whether their commerce and re- imircfs will counterbalance the nw danners that tr" lr acquirement -would Introduce Into our political system. For I see behind them , in the horizon toward which we are hearting , looming up from the Pacific , Innumerous mountainous Interest nnd opportunity against which the outlines of the Philip pines arc but a Immlepock something more than Islaidd , nothing else than n continent , Within Asia ties the Interest nnd the op portunity , that , by Its largeness , dwarfs every other prospect. I favor the acquisi tion of Porto Rico , partly because flic moral pilrjioso of this war demand1 * that It should no longer be n political plague spot In .the otherwise purified Caribbean sea , hut chiefly because It IB nt the gateway to the Cnrlb- bean n sea that when the commerce of Asia Is fully developed nnd the Nlcaraugua canal opened , will , from both a naval nnd commercial view , become the rapit Im portant water on the fnco of the globe. 1 favored the acquisition of Hawaii and I favor the acquisition of the Philippines , erse so much of them ns may be needed , solely because in the new career of commercial activity upon which , I trust , we are about to enter , we need , clear across the Pacific , o line of naval stations nnd homo ports ; stations in every sense our own , carrying under ths toll the American title and over It the American nag. I favor the retention of the Philippines , or nt least n part of them , that they may stand is n tangible continuing demonstra tion of the physical presence of the rspub- llo In Asiatic waters. The value of these conquests Is not In their territory , nor their resources separately considered , Inrt In the fuel that OB nn entirety they constitute a chain preclsolv adapted to the expanded sphere In which we are to cntnr. T care little for the links. Individually , hut everr- thlnir for the chain that will , henceforth. hold us to our opportunities In the far east. Hnturc of After paying notice at great length to ob jections urged by opponents of annexation , Judge Grosscup continued : I come now tovhnt is , In my judgment , the most Interesting and Important object of our future foreign policy. I refer , of course , to the Immediate futiiro of Asia. It Is In that quarter that we will find a situa tion open to American enterprise , a com merce waiting for American venture , and eventually ( n people and institutions ready for n graft from the tree of Anglo-Saxon civil liberty. Outside of these countries that nro already European dependencies the pop ulations of Asia numbers already 400,000- 000 souls. They have , up to the present time , lived almost apart from mankind. The breaking of the seal upon their ports Is to us of Eu rope and America the discovery of n now continent. In tbo nature of things great results must follow. The discovery of un peopled Ameilca broke up the deepest foundations of European life ; the opening of Africa , peopled only by savages , has stirred every corner of European enterprise , nut 11 hero in the far east , swinging Inward , are doors that will admit us to one-half of the desirable territory and one-third of the pop ulation of the earth. It Is a land without railroads , without manufactories , without cities built on modern lines , without fields cultivated by modern Implements. It bids for every character of American enterprise. U lies under the temperate zone , the only strip of our globe that Insures health to men now alive and promises Increasing vigor to men yet to come. Looked at from every ma terial point of view the Invitation tendered Is one that no enterprising people con afford to decline. The break-up In the current of Asiatic life is at hand. The people of China ore already beginning to compare their modes of life with us and to reach out for some of the phyMcal aids that we are ready to offer. Dcforo us In the far cost at this very mo ment nro opening gates that will in a few years reveal a market transcending in value our own and transcending our own im mensely ' in its potentialities for the future. The full magnitude of this opening era has not jet dawned upon the world. The farseeing - seeing statesmen of Europe see it ; farseeing - seeing America will soon compass it. Looked nt from every side Its certainty , its , Imme diate proportions , its Immeasurable poten tialities for growth It reveals itself as a world even more commercially important than the discovery of America ; an event , in many respects , without a parallel in the history of mankind. Our course seems clear , if we nr in earnest In our purpose to participate in the development of tho. cast. We need these Islands as an Integral part of the naval force , without the display of which we can never obtain a proper share In Its com merce , or protect it after It Is obtained ; we need them as strategic points in a naval contest with any power on the earth ; we need them that wo may draw physically close to that quarter of the globe in which wo wish our influence to be felt and our commerce to expand ; we need them , above all other considerations , as security toward PMCC that character of peace bonds that all nations respect. Sch ii rz Mr. Schurz said In part : "The future policy of the United States will be largely determined by the peace soon to be concluded with Spain. We have to remember that tbe war with Spain was vir tually Initiated by the resolution adopted by congress , which declared that the people of Cuba should be free and independent , then moved by the sense of duty the United States demanded the withdrawal of the Spanish forces fiorn Cuba , that the president should use the army and navy nnd militia 'to the extent as may be necessary to carry these resolutions Into effect' that is , to liberate Cuba and that such liberation nnd pacification of Cuba accomplished , t'j United States emphatically disclaiming dis position of any intention to annex Cuba , would leave the government of the Island to the people thereof. "Now , I ask the aJvojilcs of1nnncxatlou among us , whether. If this republic undOr any pretext annex- . anof this Spanish colonies , it does no really turn this sol emnly advertised war of llb > "Mti < irt and hu manity Into a war of self-aggr.indlzc'ment ? I ask them what they will have to ray when our detractors rcp nt against us their charge oi Iivpocrisy nnd uplfHh motives ? It these questions cannot be satisfac torily answered this might be the end of the discussion. But in these days of ours it is , perhaps , well to go on proving that honesty is really the best policy. What shall we do with these Spanish colonies if wo do annex them ? Are these colonies or any of them such that we could with safety make states of our union of them ? I challenge the advocates of annexation to show me a single Instance of a tropical country In which people of that kind have shown themselves able to carry on demo cratic ! government in a manner fitting it for statehood in our union. "Let the thought of annexing these Islands and their population to thp United States cither as states or as subject prov inces be abandoned. Let Cuba nnd Porto Rico be occupied by our military forces under discreet commanders , until they are thoroughly pacified nnd until the people thereof , with such aid on the part of the United States ns may bo necessary , will have formed effective civil governments nnd an armed force of their own for the main tenance of public order ami security. Let them , In accordance with the explicit prom ise given In the resolution of congress , the control of those islands to bo turned over to the people thereof ; and let this flual settlement Include agreements with them securing to American citizens on the Islands the fullest protection In their right of nun- Ing property nnd carrying on nil kinds of business. "Tho pioblcm of the future of the Philip pines Is no doubt much more complicated. Hut as to the main point that concerns the United States , I shall say that the same principle should be adhered tn na In the cass of Cuba and Porto Rco | that Is. we should obtain , by means of agreement , the greatest attainable facilities for commerce and civil izing Influences with the least political re sponsibilities and entanglements ; In other words , wo should not annex , but secure the opening to our activities of the territories concerned , " A general discussion followed , ' participated In by Judge Grosscup , Cnrl Schurz , Harry C. Garflfld of Cleveland , F , H. Thurber of Now York , John W , Coughlln of Fall River , J. Davis Dufflcld of Fall River , A. F. Shack of New York and others.

Under ordinary circumstances ' 'rldny would have been on off day In the Horti cultural bulldlne. but knowing that the florists were to pay the place a visit , the exhibitors did their best to shlno up their fruit nnd have everything ready for In spection. There wcro crowds of people In the building all of the time , but the big rush came when the florists and their friends put In an appearance. Illinois got to the front yesterday and put on exhibition some ten varieties of new pears and a big lot of apples nnd peaches. Just now the state seems to be devoting Its energies to making a great display of pears , and nil of the orchardlsts are sending In large quantities. One ot the long tables originally Intended for apples has been turned over to the pear exhibitors , who have used up most of the space thus allotted. Nebraska has beautified one of Its tables by having several ornamental designs worked out In small fruits. The designs are in the form of wheels , circles and things ot that kind , while the centers arc filled with bouquets of sweet pens and geraniums. Oh the outside of the designs there are large plates filled with grapes , crab apples and berries. The state has struck some thing else that Is new. Superintendent Youngers has skirmished around and has made a collection of hazel nuts and chest nuts which ho takes much pride in showIng - Ing , as it has always been contended that these nuts , especially the chestnuts , will not grow In this country. Kansas has added to its horticultural ex hibit largely within the last few days , and Is now showing some of the finest grapes , apples and peaches that have been seen since the fruit commenced to come into the building. Vor the purpose of keeping In the front ranks , Superintendent Wilson ot the South ern California exhibit has sent on and has secured a lot of new fruit from Bishop & Co. , who reside near his home in Los Angeles. The shipment arrived yesterday and contained crystallized fruit , the first shown. The preparing of this fruit In California , Superintendent Wilson says , is a new Industry , nnd until three years ago the process was unknown. Even now the method of preparing the fruit Is a secret , known only to the fruiter who puts out the product. Notwithstanding the fact that the orange crop of California has been reported short , Superintendent Wilson says that he will show new citrous fruit until the close of the exposition , and that Instead of his exhibit growing smaller , It will increase. DUIInKuUhed VixHorn from Mlnnourl. At the exposition yesterday Missouri was represented by President F. M.

They were all pleased with the exposition , and expressed the opinion that beginning next mpnth the attendance will be enormous. President Sterrett said' that he had not given up hopes of having a big crowd In attendance on Missouri day , which he pre dicts will be put back upon the calender. He is working with the railroads in an ef fort to secure a cheap rote from nil portions tions of the state , and if he is successful thousands of people will come to Omaha and visit the exposition.
