LONDON. Oct. 9. -The
Ar
treaty of arbitration la expected
signed h;- Foreign Minister Lansdo .
and Ambassador Cambon at the end of ne
week.
A great deal of satisfaction Is expressed
at the success which baa attended the ne
gotiations. The news came as a complete
surprise to the foreign embassies here. The
opinion there expressed Is that the Anglo-
French arbitration treaty will not affect
the previously concluded treaties, such as
the Anglo-Japanese treaty, which provides
that under certain conditions Oreat Britain
will be obliged to support Japan In the far
east.
The Associated Press lenrns that the
treaty will not positively bind the two
powers to arbitrate all questions arising.
but provides, generally, that whenever
possible disputes shall be settled In this
pacific manner, either by their submission
to The Hague arbitration court or their
reference to a special tribunal.
It Is acknowledged on all side that King
Edward Influence has largely contributed
to the success of the negotiations for the
arbitration treaty.

RITCHIE TALKS FREE TRADE
Former Cbancel'or of Ex bcqner Feart
Caa ling Be8ntmnt in United States,
'RS AND JELRS GREET HIS SPEECH
defers to Asnerlpaa Attitode
'nee Becomes X arnly
Inn "Rale Britannia"
us a Protest.
IONDOX. Oct. 9.-Mr. Ritchie, member
of nrlismcnt for Croydon and until re
cently chancellor of the exchequer, deliv
ered a speech on fr;e trade and the reasons
for his resignation before an audience of
4,000 persons at Croydon town hill this aft
ernoon. A large liberal element was pres
ent. The reception of Mr. Ritchie waa de
clddly not hermonlou. consisting of
cheers, hoots and counter cheers for Joseph
Chamberlain.
Mr. Ritchie said that If any one expected
tn hear a denunciation on his part of his
Into cabinet colleagues he waa happy to
disappoint them. He believed Mr. Balfour
and Mr. Chamberlain were actuated by the
highest motives. Mr. Chamberlain's admin
istration of the colonial office had been the
most successful of tho present generation.
The speaker later precipitated a scene of
disorder by declaring that Mr. Chamberlain
had been Inconsistent because he upheld
free trade while president of the board of
trade and protection while colonial secre
tary.
f'oold ot Folloir Chamberlain.
Mr. Ritchie said that as chancellor of the
exchequer he could not consent to a fiscal
revolution and the overturning of the pol
icy of his conservative predecessors on the
strength of the arguments of Mr. Chamber
lain, "whose strong point always was his
ability to present any scheme he cham
pioned In tho most favorable light."
The former chancellor of the exchequer
felt convinced that the present preferen
tial proposals were merely an entering
wedge which would ultimately land the
country In the same position a Germany,
"where food taxes had driven the working
men to socialism."
Continuing. Mr. Ritchie asserted that one
of the principal questions to be considered
was the attitude of the I'nlted States. Tills
country must try to guard against giving
the I7nted States any cause for resentment
which would result In Its punishing Can
ada. The above statement resulted in fresh
disorder on the part of the audience and
the singing of "Rule Brltnnnla."
Mr. Ritchie concluded with the state
ment to the effect that he opposed with
all his strength the "new mysterious policy
which was ravaging the country like on
epidemic."
Tho speaker resumed his seat amid n
scene of disorder and a vote of thanks
wss ultimately carried amidst boisterous
shouts and hooting.
Friendly to Chamberlain.
The mixed reception given to Mr. Ritchie
at Croydon la regarded as an Indication
that Mr.' Chamberlain's acheme is taking
hold of the country and la fiercely dividing
tho unionist party. Incidentally - i Mr.
Kltchte revealed that he ws solely respon
sible for the abolition of the shilling -duty
on wheat. He said that Mr. Chamberlain
proposed to retain a duty and give tbe
colonies preference. ' but the speaker, be
lieving that It was only the beg.nning of
a larger schepie of protection, threatened
to resign if the duty was not forthwith
abolished.
Confirming the published account of
Mr. Ralfour's concealment of Mr. Cham
berlain's resignation, Mr. Ritchie said the
duke of Devonshire, Lord Balfour of Bur
leigh, Lord George Hamilton and himself
met after both cabinet councils and de
cided to send In their resignations without
having heard a word to the effect that Mr.
Chamberlain would resign. That, however,
did not affect Mr. Ritchie's position, be
cause he could not have continued a mem
ber after the publication of the correspond
ence between Mr. Chamberlain and Mr.
Balfour. i
W orklngnen Oppose Plan.
The congresa of the Amalgamated Society
of Railway Servants, In session at Peter
borough, representing most of the railway
employes of tho t nlt'it Kingdom, passed a
resolution today as follows:
Viewing with alarm the proposed fiscal
congress introduced hy Mr. Chatnberisin
; ft believing that they would add to the
I burdens of the working classes and prove
nePciua in serving the purpose of Ira-
perlal duty, this congress, while viewing
""h some concern any increased export of
manufactured goods, considers that before
ny w h,me of ret,iia,n (a adopted there
should be a thorough Inquiry, in which the
i Industrial ana commercial classes should
be consulted.

Gcorgo It. Feck of Chicago was toast
master. Ex-Governor Black, In responding to the
totist, "Partisanship." said in part:
Place of the Partisan.
Seldom In the history of the American
pitiplH has dreaming been a valla substi
tute for doing. But sometimes in tho hU
tory of trim peu ,e me etern warnor tor
principle's sitae ni"t been set ttnide lot
those who front ulnr have recounted tho
glories of tne Htnte. In times ot peace
when the awful fucc of war Is for a day
withdrawn, thu soldier may hobble past
unpralsed and unattended.' but the tune j
win como again, tiniess our natuies an'
made anew, when the flash ami stroke
und solemn call will revive tne liiagitiK
homngo of mankind, when the gay attire
of the hero of a day's parade will pa.-
unheeded nnd the multitude will turn with
grateful and unanimous remembrance to
lh rusty uniform.
' The true signiltcance if things must not
be lost. Witrs were never won except by
blood. Principles were never planteo ex
cept by sucrlllce. Deeds that arc written
across the sky were not achieved by men
reclining In the shade. Tne seerots of tho
ocean and tho exultation of discovery never
came to him who oniy wrote his name In
the puddles which follow a summer s rain.
These things should never be forgot tun.
The realities of the world should never
stand aside for phrase. The things that
are should hold the wuklng eye and visions
should be kept for sleep.
A nonpartisan Is an unbeliever. He goes
where the wind goes. Ho la ready to agree
with ihoae who oppose, and the tlrst word
upon his tongue is compromise. There are
no mountains in his country. Everything
must lie brought to a dead level. All land
scapes are made smooth by reducing the
elevations. Ho removes opposition only by
surrender. No nonpartisan was ever found
upon a summit unless partisans ha 1 raised
him there. Destitute of 'strong tel:efs, h
is de-dituto of great coumge. His character
has never amused my sJtnl.ation. his pro
fessions have never gained my confidence.
"The American Spirit."
Governor Dtirbln of Indiana, In respond
ing to the toast, "The American Spirit."
said In part:
The American spirit is the spirit of Indi
vidual Initiative; Its political expression Is
Individual liberty. Its econorrilc. aim is In
dividual opportunity; Its outcome Is prog
ress progress Individual and national
progress so swift,, so irresistible, so tri
umphant, that the world's history affords
no parallel for the marvelous transforma
tion effooted by the American people within
their vast and ever widening national do
main during the century which has suc
ceeded the settlement of this splendid city.
Innate American initiative succeeding at
home and abroad In the Accomplishment of!
enterprises of unprecedented scope and dar
ing; above "and-beyond all this the steady
rle in popular, Intelligence and the agencies
making for its further increase, with a con
sequent diffusion of the eager spirit of
aspiration nnd emulation these are the
unanswerable arguments which American
civilization offers In vindication of Individ
ual independence, the elemental principle of
American government.
Yut It is a earoiess observer of polltleul
and Industrial tendencies In the I'nlted
States who does not realize the rapid
growth of conditions and Influences and
sentiment which, carried to their ultimate
conclusion would Involve the abandonment
of individualism, and the substitution of a
system of commercial and governmental
organisation whereby Individual Initiative,
Individual liberty, Individual opportunity,
und therefore progress Itaelf would suffer
suppression.
Do you doubt the Imminence of this men
act ? Then recall the adoption of a govern
ment ownership plant liv New York last
year hy n great political party which once
claimed individual liberty na lis essential
doctrine. Witness the wnrfure being waged
in Ohio tonight, In the cause. If not In the
name, of Incipient socialism, for the i ele
ment from public life of that grand old
man of rentilillcunism, that rugged expo
nent of tho historic .principles of genuine
I Americanism. Kcnatirr Marcus A. Hanna.
Do you question the potential popularity of
this propaganda because it loaves human
nature out of the problem of humun gov
ernment? Then reni'-mber that 6.0iO.Ii
American citizens gave their Indorsement
al the polls to the financial plunk of the
Chicago platform, which presupposed the
supernatural powers of the I'nlted States
conaress. Consider moreover the nature of
the appeal of socialism, which Is tn diseon-
tent wi n tne exmting omer, ana rememuer
that neither Is the existing order free from
remedial evils, nor Is the prevalence of tin-
rest prevented by a rising level of diffused
prosperity. .... . .
The hope of the republic Is not in the
fine-spun schemes of those who offer the
nrosis'ct of a machine-made mlllentum
. through the surrender of individual liberty
I the surrender of iiidepenuciice, of Inltln-
Itive, of opportunity, of jtll that has made
the hlstorv of this republic glorious with
I achievement, and tills Its future with the
i glow of promise. It Is rather that we shall
go forward along the pathwuy blazed by
our lathers, with ni Increasing devotion to
American principles .with a ueeiwnliig ens,
of the obligations of American cltisenshlp
under the inspiration of '.he American
spirit.
Incorporated Dishonesty.
Judge Peter S. Grosjfcup of the I'nlted
States circuit court. In responding to the
toast, "Incorporated Dishonesty," said In
part:
Th government under which we live is
In reality two governments, one embody
ing tlio power of the. people of the I'nlted
States, the other the power of the people
of the particular states: t that us citizens
of our state we Join with other citizen in
creating the stale's lailiclea and making
the state's laws, ana as citizens uf the
United htales we Join its larger citizenship
In cresting its policy and inaKing lis law.

Midway entrance, t and 9 p. nt.
The battle of confetti continued unabated
on the midway last night. It was laileved
that the Ak-8ar-Ben ball would prove so
strong a counter attraction that tho at
tendance would be light at the carnival,
hut such was not the case, nnd the usual
good Tttttured crowd thronged the streets
of the most wonderful show on earth, ns
on past evenings, and enjoyed themselves
much the same.
Thero were no arrests for disorderly con
duct, ns the visitors had the disorderly
penchant trained out of them early In the
game by the prompt action of the police.
The free performances drew the people
from place to place as they were enacted.
Russell's sensational high bicycle dive prob
ably caused more people to hold their
breath for a longer time than any of the
reel, und the sigh of relief which went up
when tho daring performer struck the
water could be heard on Farnam street.
Lionel Legare, the equllibrlstlc wonder,
came In for tumultuous .applause at the
conclusion of his halr-ralslng feat.
The attraction on the midway did a lnnd
otflce business, and everyone seemed well
satisfied with the various performances
put up. At least they looked pleased when
they came out, and no sooner did they
get Into the open air than they headed
for another.

time were the beauty, the btatns. the wit
and the wealth of those who owe elleglance

Nor did the glory of the new king and
the charm of the new queen, pale In luster
because of the coronations that hgve gone

ressive and Its grandeur like ita wealth
grows marvelously from year to year.
So It was In tbe order of thing that the
coronation of King Ak-S.tr-Ben IX and his
beautiful consort excel and their majesties
exalted as were never before the occupants
of this throne. Full S.OOQ came to pay obei
sance and revel In the wander of the thing.
And wonderful It was, the triumphant

"It Is enough." quotha he, but as his eye
wanders through the distances' on every
ide he notes other men and women, all
intent upon the scene. They are aeutoj

to come. Others who come Just to see
and to hear presa through the-doors and
then come others still who prefer to be
quite happy when moving' airily to the
strains of music. '

Women, women, women drift through the
dark, low doorway In one busy eornr.

faint odors of mingled perfume . rte ou
the air. Look where one may on th great
floor, he ace but ruso and hear but th
gay Inflection.
More people to see; more people to be
seen; subdued buzzing on every hand, and
then the first note of an overture, from
the brazen throats and sweet pipes of the
band. The cadences rise and fall and float
over the happy scene with, a comfortable
serenity. The king and queen will com"
surely nt their appointed hour and all is
ready to receive them. Then mote people
and more, until It seems as though the
great structure could not hold . another
one. The musicians, who play on an ele
vated stand straight across from the
throne, continue and the music varies, but
the greetings, the Introductions, the con
versation and the smile contribute to the
sum total without Interruption.
At last, when the only space unpeopled
la the great expanse of the msln floor, re
lieved by the luminously embowered
fountain In the center, the trumpets strike
a new und bolder note. It Is the summons,
th t-all to attention and the stentorian
reminder that the .lord Is about to ap
proach from a mysterious nowhere, so
strange and subterraneous ' that no king
lias ever returned from It to the throne.
The bugle call echoes and the voices are
stilled. Then' the tones weave into a
inarch and the eager populace holds Its
breath.
From each corner of the square came de

to and fro and across to the music of the
trumpets and for the pleasure of th multi

Meanwhile the ladles of the court and th
