Governor Shaw In addressing tho league
aid In part: ,
"I)y the application of the republican
pollcloH wo have won mercantile Independ
ence and. are well started toward tile con
quest of tho commercial world. The Bamo
purpose must actuate rcpubllcaps In tho
future. American labor must have employ
ment and to that end American capital must
find avenues of profitable Investments, liut
American marketn are no longor sunlclent.
The time Is on us when wo must secure new
outlets. In fifty years our agricultural
products have multiplied .by four, while our
manufacturers havn multiplied by eloven.
Wo arc consuming an ever-Increasing pro
portion of tho products of our farms and
exporting an over-Increasing proportion of
the products of our factories.
"The demand for new markets now Is but
a whisper compared to tho cry of coming
years. Tho best that can be done for our
Industrial Interests Is to open the ways and
broaden tho channel of trade. How can
this bo done? I answer, I" man" rjays and
all ways. Reclaim tne c ""wiins of the
state bordering on the Kooky mountains
and If no more feasible plan bo presented
charge tho expense to the lands benefited,
encourage a merchant marine, construct an
Isthmian canal, continue to Improve our
consular service, nnd tihovc nil', secure con
vention rights In tho ports of Enrope-and an
open door throughout Asia. Tho principle
of reciprocity must bo put in operation or
It will never again require tho declaration
of a party platform to convince the Amer
ican pcoplo that tho whole theory of reci
procity when It comes to actual practlco
is a failure. The future of reciprocity must
not depend upon the ratification of any par
ticular treaty, but reciprocity as a policy,
If not already, will soon be on trial, and on
trial tor Its life. It must be cither applied
or abandoned,
"I do not say that commercialism and
statesmanship are synonymous terms, Hut
If legislating for the protection of our own
markets ond the acquisition of others Is
commercialism then commercialism la by no
means an unimportant clement In American
statesmanship,"

four sea practices, its work in this line will
hereafter bo considered complete.
Tho cntlro drill will consumo tho greater

target practice for all hands,' sub-caliber
practice, In which, at 600 yards, with the
ship under way ten shots will ho fired at
a target from each class of gun, and pro

the mark, bringing them all to bear dur
ing Its run of perhifps a mile -past the tar
get, Aotuat hits only will be counted In
this trial and the ship's fighting efficiency
will be rated by the percentage of lilts out
of total shots fired.
According to Information at hand at the-
Navy department the navies of. the world
aro giving a great amount of attention to
the subject of target practice, and many
schemes are being evolved In foreign, navies

Tulie Workers Tim Iln.stv.'
According to. the reports from tho
organized tube workers, who were strlk
lng In sympathy with the Amal
gamatcd association, there Is a lot
of trouble In store for the hasty action they
took In walking out of tho plants of the
National Tubo company without the for.
mallty of submitting their cause to the
general offlcors of the American Federation
of Labor.
It has been discovered, so tho men say,
that they havo violated the constitution of
tho federation, which provides that before
going on a strlko a local lodge receiving a
charter direct from the American Fcdero,
tlon ot Labor must submit ft list ot griev
ances to the executive council ot the fed
eratlon for approval. Failure to do this
cuts off the striking lodge from all strike
benefits of the federation or from allied
trades unions. '
Most of the tube workers struck without
this formality having been gone through
with. To settle tho strike now they havo
no general officers to act for them nnd only
the various lodge officers can act In mat
ters pertaining to peace. An appeal is to
bo made to President Shaffer ot tho Amal
gamated association to take a, hand In any
settlement for tho tubo workers when such
a sottloment Is made. It is claimed, how
ever, tbat it will not bo possible for this
to. bo done, as President Shaffer cannot act
for any other body than his own. Tho
position of' the tube workers is attracting
considerable attention and many ot the
mon, while declaring that thoy will stay
out as long as tho Amalgamated men do
are making no secret at their perplexity
regarding tho outcomo ot their strlko. A
movement Is. on foot, It Is said, to form a
national body of the tubo workers.
In- four. more days, according to-the Amal
gamated constitution, strlko benefits will
begin to Issue, The Amalgamated associa
tion provides for no payment of benefits
during July and August. Subscriptions have
been coming into Amalgamated head
quarters. In goodly numbers, and thete with
the assessments returned by many union
lodges throughout the country havo swolle
the strlko fund materially.

' HAZLETON, tPa., Aug. 27. A convention
ot representatives ot the United Mine
Workers of America from every 'mine In the
anthracite coaT region began here today and
Is expected to continue thrco or four days.
One question to" come' before the convention
is' the rlsht of mine workers or their rep
resentatives' to gd upon the property" of the
various companies to examine tho cards' of
the miners, a" privilege which has been so
far denied by the officials n't many mines.
Whllo expressing1 themselves" generally as
entertaining no apprehension of trouble
over tho outcome of the convention, the
anthracite officials are nevertheless some
what anxious and It would causo them no
surprlso it tho convention were to tako
some steps whereby the prosont output of
anthracite would be curtailed so as to pro
vent an accumulation of coal and place' tho
miners In a stronger position to meet the
issues which are. likely to present them
selves ,ncxt,. April, when tho existing one
year's contract, between the mine owners
and employes expires.
The convention this afternoon decided
that minora should buy nono but union
label powdot. provided It Is ot as good
quality as that, used at present.
Little was done at the opening session.
President Mitchell was In charge and tho
Grand opera house, where the delegates are
meeting, was crowded to Its capacity. Tho
exact number ot delegates present will not
be known until after the report of the com
mittee on credentials Is presented. A com
mittee representing tho powder workers'
union requested tho miners to use no
powder unless, the union label Is potted on
the ,kcgs. The barbers' union asked (he
delegatest to patrpnlzo none but union bar
bers. President Mitchell and National Secretary
Wilson arrived this morning. When askrd
what questions would recclvo the mo?t at
tention, Mr. Mltcholl said they wero all
contained In the call issued three weeks ago
He. could not say whothor tbe convention
would take any notion on the steel strike.

sel, though tho navy ofnlcl'als say they havo

point to the fact that tho court of Inquiry
Is tho only body authorized to admit or
debar counsel In such cases. It may, In its
pleasure, deny tho person under Investiga
tion the prlvllego ot having counsel present
beforo the court, or on the' other hand It
may go tftc length ot permitting persons

DENVER. Aug. 27. The American For

dent for Colorado, acteds. -chairman of tho
meeting, .-After an address- of-welqome by
.United Spates Seuajor .'Thomas. M. .Patter
son,, rou'tl'no' .business occupied the rest ot
the morning. . In tho afternoon papers on
tho United. States government forest work
wero read and discussed.
William L. Hall's paper was on "Prog
ress In Tree Planting" and showed the
increased Interot felt over tho country in
tho planting of forest trees.
Glford Plnchot, forester of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, read a paper on
"Grazing In the Forest Reserves." Ho
said: "T.he reserves contain vast quanti
ties of grass nnd other forago which can
only be harvested by grazing animals. Ex
cept In cases where grazing directly an
tagonizes Interests of greater Importance
to the pommunlty, there Is every reason
why It should be permitted under sensible
regulations. Moderate grazing may pro
ceed In moot of .tho reserves wholly with
out Injury to. tho forest, except In specified
localities, and greatly, to the advantage of
the general community."
Edward M. Griffith of tho bureau of for
estry gave a comprehensive description of
tbe Black Hills forest reaerve, which con
tains a population of 2.VJ10, Including the
cities of Lead and Deadwood.
