It is quite different this searching the textile
world over and gathering a store full of tart, chic
goods. But somebody has to lead. This" waiting to
, see what is right and then hunting around to get goods
as near like ours as possible. But it proves the very
general delusiveness of our finest stuffs, when so few
are exactly matched.

nees, remember that, lou cannot put a
top to or reverse the Industrial tendency
of the age. You can control and regulate
them so that they will do no harm. (Ap-
plAUtit.f
Another thing, you do not build these
levees tn a day or a month. The man who
told you he had a patent devise by
which In sixty daya ht would
solve the whole question of floods
of the great rivers, would not be
a. wise man. but a perfect miracle of wis
dom, compared to the man who telle you
that by another remedy he can bring the
. mUllnium In our Industrial and social af
fairs. We can do something. I believe we
ran do a good deal, bjt our accomplishing
what i expect to see accomplished Is con
ditioned upon our setting to work on a
eplrtt as far removed as possible from his
tory. A spirit of sober, steadfast, kindly
(I want to emphasise the word kindly) de
termination not to submit wrong our
selves and not to wrong ot Not to In
terfere with the great t ss develop,
irent of the country, but a. e same time
so to shape our legislation and administra
tion as to regulate. If we cannot remedy,
the vicious features connected with that In
dustrial development
Betteraaent ( Conditions.
Now, the big corporations, although nom
inally the creatures of one state, usually
do business In other states, and In a very
large number of cases the wide variety of
state laws on the subject of corporations
has brought about the fact that the cor
poration la made In one state, but does al
most all Its work In entirely different
states. It has proved utterly Impossible to
get anything Hue uniformity of legislation
among the states. Some states have pass d
laws about corporations which. If they had
not been ineffective, would nave totally
prevented any important corporate work
being done within their llmlta. Other states
have such lax luws that there Is no effective
effort made to control any of the abimes.
As a result we have a system of divided
control, where the nation has something to
say, but it Is a little difficult to know
exactly how much, and where the dif
ferent states have each something to hay,
but where there Is no supreme power that
can speak with authority.
Pleads for More Power.
It Is a mere truism to tay that every
cornnratinn th mnt wii
largest. Is the creature of the state. Where
the corporation la amall there la very little
need of exercising much supervision over
it. But the stupendous corporations of the
present day should be under governmental
supervision and regulation. (Applause;
The first effort to be made is to give some
body the power to exercise that super
vision, that regulation. We have already
laws on the statute books. Those laws will
be enforced and are .being enforced with
all the power of the national government
and wholly without regard to persona. (Ap
plause.) v r
But the power Is very limited Now, I
, want you to take my words at their exact
.value. 1 think, 'I cannot say I am sure,
because It has often happened In the past
that congress has passed laws with a given
purpose in view and when ttiat i
' P'e" Judicially interpreted It has proved
Kun uuipuia hub noi acnieveu, out 1
think that by legislation additional power
In the way of regulation of at least a
number of those great corporations can be
conferred. But. gentlemen, I firmly believe
that In the -end power must be given
through a contitltutlonal amendment to the
national government to exercise In full
supervision and regulation of, those great
enterprises. (Applause.) That Is not new
doctrine for me. That Is the doctrine that
1 advocated on the stump two years age.
Now I have said that there can be no
uiuuirni irmfujr onerea. mere is not any
one thing which can be done to remedy all
the existing evils. There are a good many
things which. If we do them, will, I believe,
make a very appreciable betterment of our
existing condition.
Let me go back to my Illustration of the
Mississippi river. It took some time to
build the levees, but we built them. And
If we have the proper Intelligence, the
proper resolution, and the proper self
restraint, we can work out the solution
along the lines that I have Indicated. The
first thing in to give the national govern
ment the power.
What power la given. I can assure you,
will be used In a spirit as far as possible
umcirni remeay orrerea. 'mere Is not an
run lanuur, nui wnn me nrmeai determi
nation to make big men and little men
alike obey the law. (Applause.) -
i' First Need the Power. i
What we need first Is power. Having
gotten the power, gentlemen, remember
that the work won't be ended It will be
only fairly begun. And, let me say again,
and again, and again, that you will not
get the millennium. The millennium la some
way off yet. But you will be In a position
to make long strides In the direction of
securing a Juster and fairer and more In
telligent and more honest management of
those corporations, both as regards the
general public and as regarda their rela
tionships among themselves.
When you have the power I ahould most
earnestly advocate that It be used with
the greatest wisdom and self-restraint. The
first thing would be to find out the facts.
For that purpose I am absolutely clear
that we need publicity, not as a favor from
any one corporation, but as a matter of
right. The mere fact of the publicity Itself
will tend to stop many of the evils and It
will show that some of the alleged evils
are Imaginative.
. And, finally, in making evident the re
maining faults, those that are not Imag
inary, end are not cured by the light of
day Itself, It will give us an Intelligent
proposition as to the methods to take tn
getting them. (Applauae.)
We should have under any circumstances
one sovereign to which the big corpora
tions ahould be responsible a sovereign In
whose courts the corporation could be held
accountable for any failure to comply with
the laws of the legislature of that sov
ereign. I do not think you can accom
plish that among the forty-stx sovereians
of the statea. I think It will have to be
through the national government. Now, I
want to draw one lesson from the ex
perience of some of you whom I see in
the audience who fouaht In the civil war.
You recollect It perfectly well, whether you
wore the blue or the gray, how people who
eat at home were dead aure you ought to
do everything quickly, you who wear my
friend there the button which shows that
you wore the blue, remember the days just
before Bull Run. when all the excellent
people who were at home said it was your
duty to go on at once to Klchmond; they
demanded that It be done: they wanted
It then within two weeks. Then Bull Run
tame along and the movement was the
other way and then a lot of the same men
who had Wen demanding at the tope of
their voices that you should Instantly go
eu to Richmond said that the war was over.
'It waa done, nothing more te be eccom
pl'uhed. You and those like you did not
tli I iik so, the Bum north and south were
built of a different stuff. The .war went
on for years, and you would' not have

elsted that you could only go there by
a patent device. That waa not the way
you got there. You got there by setting
ojr teeth and making your mind up that
you were In to see that fight through.
Then you had to face defeat, and come up
again, and If defeated to try again, until
out of defeat you wrested triumph. You
made up your minds that you would win
by the same qualities that have made
good soldiers from the time that the world
was young.
Spirit Always the Same.
The men In blue, and the men in gray
who fought Jn the great civil war had dif
ferent ' weapons and were drilled ' In dif
ferent' tactics from the soldiers who fol
lowed Washington and Greene and Mad
Anthony Wayne, who fouaht under Marion:
who fought at Bunker Hill, who fought at
Kings Mountain. You nsd diflerent uni
forms, different weapons, different tactics,
but the spirit that drove you forward was
the same. (Applause.)
And, now. If ever this country should
be called, as I most earnestly hope and
believe It never will be called, to face a
serious1 foreign foe the men that fight will
have high power, small calibre, smokeless
powder rifles, they will fight In open or
der, Instead of the old elbow to elbow
touch, they will fight under entirely dif
ferent tactics; under different conditions,
but If they win' they will win because they
had In them the same stuff that their
fathers had In the civil war. their great
frandfathers 'n the revolutionary war.
Applause.) The weapon changes the gun
changes, but the Qualities of the man be
hind the gun have got to remain the same
as ever. - (Applause.)
It Is Just so In dealing with these prob
lems of cltlsenshlp. The changed condi
tions mean that there must be change In
the laws; change from time to time In the
fundamental principle underlying the whole
matter. The law now and then has no
change, but In the long run. it is the man
behind the law that counts. We need good
laws; we need the very beat law; need the
best constitution and need to amend It so
as to keep It what It Is, the best consti
tution. But no constitution, no law, will
supply the place In the average Individual
of those qualities In which In their sum
make good cuisenslilp.
Gone for the Gaardantea.
It la Just. as It la in battle. I hate, and
If any National guardsman Is here he will
appreciate what I say, I hate to see our
National Guard armed with a black powder
musket. I would about aa soon see him
armed with a crossbow. I believe that
for any man wearing the uniform which la
Uncle Barn's or many be Uncle Sam's in an
emergency, the best weapon la none too
good. (Applause.)
But If i you give a man the best weapon
In the world and he himself Is a pretty
poor sort of a creature, he will be beaten
by a good man with a club, (Applause and
lauahter.) Now. It Is lust an In tha flM
of civic life. If our Average cltlsenshlp Is
low, no lsws will save us. There are other
countries with almost exactly our con
etltuUon.. with ermuch similar lawe to
?urs, where nevertheless, the experience of
ree government has been almost a fail
ure, because the men did not have the
ssme'eturr for cltiienshlD. In the last re
sort it must be the high average .standard
of cltlsenshlp upon . which we will have
to rely In this republic. Something -can

having the right kind of men; the - right

cnaracter which counts most; that Is what

(applause) character which counts for the

In the life of the state; character which
we want to see In eur public men. when
they tackle the problem of the trusts, or of
anything else; character which la funda
mentally composed of many element but
which must command these three: Hon
esty first; I do not care how able a man
Is, If he Is a scamp, he la a danger; I do
not care how honest a man, if he la afraid
he Is no good. Honesty, first, then cour
age and those two qualities are not enough.
It doee not make any difference how brave
a man is or how honest. If he was hnrn
foolish, scant will be the rood vou will t

Islshd, R. t, Sept. (.No man In Rear Ad
miral Higglnson's fleet knows today which
has won the maneuvers of the last week,
the navy or tbe army, but so Important (re
the lessons earned and valuable the experi
ences of the days of "war" that the ques
tion of victory Is comparatively of minor
Import.
The Incident ot last night, when five ot the
htps rsn Into tbe eastern passage of Nar
agansett Bay by Forts Adams and Wtth-
erlll, without accident of any kind, I re
garded as highly successful but dangerous
navigation. While by Itself the run by tbe
forts would hav been as foolhardy as It
was brilliant and " spectacular, the " result
must be judged by the' relation of the night
movement to the maneuvers of tbe after
noon, when Admiral Higglnson's ships exe
cuted plans' more nearly Ilka the strategy
of war than anything during the week,
these" plana Included the capture of naval
stations by Brooklyn and Olympla at' Nar
rangansett Pier, and by Montgomery, May
Bower and Scorpion at Price's Neok,' New
port, and tbe shelling of the torts by three
ships from the shelter ot Ochre Point, with
a similar performance by Kearsarge and Al
abama from outside Brenton H??t lightship.
These ' maneuver ' over, the warsblps re
turned t Block Island, later to -return to
Newport for. the night attack.
When the Havy Fronted.
The valuable experience (o the' navy re
ferred to by Admiral Hrgklnsoh In bU state
ment this morn I mi began on (he first day
of hoettllt'te when two companies Of blue
Jackets from Alabama' captured the signal
station at Block Island and thereby estab
lished the nkvy base of operations. It was
continued on Tuesday when' the larger ships
bombarded Plum ' Island' and '' Gardner's
Point; 'again on Wednesday when the four
battleships made" descent upon Fort
Wright at Fisher's Island. ' In the latter
case the navy won the day beyond a doubt,
because ' the warships had actually begun
tneit. passage through the Race before the
fort could t-Sath them. ' Excellent' experi
ence was seen early on Thursday mornlnfc
when the ships tailed, through error In cal
culation and because of clearing weather to
make another run through the race, from
Block Island, and were forced to retire. On
Thursday night took place the third try at
the Race, with the possible theoretical loss
of several of the men-of-war. The bom
bardment cf Forte Rodman and Newport, tbe
capture of Montauk Point and the daring bit
of work early Friday morning of Lieuten
ants Robinson and Hughes In counter-min
ing Newport harbor, furnished incidents of
note.' This' last Incident waa, from tbe
standpoint of the navy, the feature event of
the) war tarns. ' " . .
the war game.

The details ot the dash ot the gunboat
Peoria Into the channels of Ntrragansett
bay have not appeared, because tbe atory
bf the affair Is known: only to the partici
pants. These were -Usu tenant Robinson
and Lieutenant-' Averenof - Alabama, and
Lieutenant' Charted P. Hughes ot Massa
chusetts. 'Thursday afternoon Peoria' was
painted black and " large salt leunoh frem
Massachusetts ..was similarly treated .Pro
vided with nines and .cable, Peoria,, having
In tow the launch, passed Into Narragao
sett bay, disguised as. a tugboat, bring
ing in a disabled aehooner. steaming di
rectly under - the guns,, of ; Fort Adams,
Peoria separated from its tow and grappled
for army mines. -At the same time Lieu
tenant Hughes, on .the launch,. was laying
his mines, and In moment bad connected
the circuit which exploded ,Uea, thereby
blowing up those which the detent might
have laid. .The lieutenants, marvel, today
that the men. behind the, shore guns .were
not auspicious ..of the dark-painted craft
busily at work JOO yards from, the shore.
Searchlights found them but there was no
Idea they were from-tbe camp of .the
enemy.. . .. .
Tbe second feature ot -the week, ths bom
bardment of , yesterday, . was . had In the
working out ot an elaborate plan of Ad
miral Hlgglnsoo and his captains. .At 2
o'clock Massachusetts, Indiana and Puritan
steamed eastward,, a It bound for Menemsha
Bight, but. when well .outside of Ochre
Point they ' turned eiittkiyMo port and
crept back along IBS Shore of Newport.
Meet Like Heal War.
This . wss one of the . four - important
Strokes Into which ' Admiral Higglnson's
plan ot notion resolved Itself. The re
maining three . were by Scorpion, May
flower and Montgomery, and they were dis
patched away to shell and destroy any
and all range-finding signal of telegraph
stations from Coggeahall to prices Neck.
This they started to do. Ths movements
of the day were th least spectacular of
the week. ' With alt the absence of the
dramatic, they approximated tbe geutne war
maneuvers more than anything that bad
preceded., . ., - ,
Looking St the week, of maneuvers di
rectly from the point of View of Alabama,
the moat striking Impression was the man
ner tn which the sotlre ship's erew fel in
quickly and easily with tbe spirit of tbe
maneuvers. Tbe naval reserves seemed to
have beeg on tbe ship for years. Captain
WUIard.H. Brownson of Alabama said:
'My ' observation Is '.. that ' the reserves
grasped .the situation quickly, especially In
th handling of the guns. To my mind, the
practice of the satire crew (n. the use of
batteries was distinctly valuable." ,'
Another Impression from Alabama Is that
the searchlights on shore were used with
success at Newport, but tbat at Fisher'
Island and Gardiner's Island they almost
tailed In tbslr work, while tbe glare from
the . lights waa not, ' on the whole, a
troublesome to navigators, as was expected.

PINERO DEFENDS HIS PLAY
Replies la Canetle Vein to Jowsnallstle
Crltle Who Assails tho Pro
aoetlon. LONDON, Sept. (.The most interesting
occurrence' of tbe theatrical week -vas Ar
thur Plnero's angry ' defense of h'a "The
Gay Lord Quex." At the annual meeting
of the Institute ot Journalists, Sir Edward
R. Russell, editor of the Liverpool Dally
Post, held up "The Gay Lord Oiex" as
tho type of a play which should be con
demned, by tho press, describing It as a
"callous enjoyment of Coarse sin," In which
the hero - displayed "no desire r prefer
ence for what was chaste." Plaero. has
written to the Times a bitter satin on Sir
Edward,. ','It must.be a sad matter," said
tbe dramatist, "for so earnest ao(l Indus
trious a crltle to. find In the autumn .or
hi critical life bis gods displaced, and see
the work n loudly acclaimed eiuier tor
gotten or treated with deliberate neglect.
What I venture to complain ot Is that Sir
Edward, tn chagrin at the mustlnei s of his
ideals, should allow vexation to tempt him
to unfalrneaa toward a work to shlch he
brlnga almost ot necessity an Imperfect
understanding.
Plnero challenges Sir Edward lo prove
bis assertions by sxtracts from ths play,
adding:
"That the comedy does not bulong to
the school, which labels each of Ita char
acters wolf or lamb and that It seeks 'to
depict men and wpmen a they are, not
wholly virtuous or wholly evil, I am pre
pared to admit. Man should be Judged by
the good In him. By bis standard I sub
mlt tbat Lord Quex la not an unamlabl
personage. Lord Quex will not, I am con
vinced, be condemned utterly by Intent
gent and liberal minded people because of
bis lapses, any more than Sir Edward Rus
sell Is to be condemned on account of bis
present variation from truth, good feeling
and good taste."
' The theatrical season begins to look tip.
There will be three first performances
and two revivals during the coming' week.

MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. (.The four rail
road officials indicted by the grand Jury
for manipulation of rates are W. B. Burt,
F. W. Bennett, general freight agent of
the Toledo, Ann Arbor AV North Michigan
railroad, and H. F. Whltcomb, president,
and Burton Johnson, general freight agent
of the Wisconsin Central railroad. Tbe
two roads connect at Monltowoc, Wis., by
car ferry. . No attempt haa yet been made
to cause their arrest, nor Is It thought
there will be any for th present.
CHICAGO. 8ept, (.J. P, Marchand, spe
cial attorney tor the Interstate Commerce
commission, stated tonight that capiases
bad been Issued for the arrest of ths In
dicted men and will be served upon Mr.
Burt at Saginaw, upon Mr. Bennett at To
ledo and upon Messrs. Whltcomb and John
son at Milwaukee. Judge Munger, at Min
neapolis, fixed the. bail of each defendant
at $2,500. . . . . .
The act under which the bills were voted
fixes penaltlea of a fine. not exoeedlng (5,000,
or imprisonment In tbe penitentiary for a
term not exceeding two years, or both, St
discretion of the court. It Is understood
that the documents charge the officials with
unlawful manipulation of rates with- re
spect to flour and feed transported to east
ern, destinations. Evidence is said te have
been adduced to ahow tbat secret rates
were given to certain big millers, and that
domeatlo flour waa handled on tbe export
rate. Tha bills are also said t contain a
clause charging false billing aa a means
whereby traffic wa procured for the two
roads Involved. ... . ,
: Mar Go After Others.
There were summoned as witnesses before
the grand Jury thirty prominent railroad
officials and millers of the northwest, but
only three witnesses were heard. These
are said to have been a Lake Shore agent
at North Amherst, O., a flour and feed dealer
at the aame place and Auditor Smith of
the Interstate Commerce commission. The
dismissal of so large a number of important
witnesses leads to the belief that a special
grand Jury will be summoned to take up
the. matter-of cut rates and preferences
given to shippers with a -view of punishing
not only all the railroad officials Involved,
but also those who accepted ths preferences.
It Is understood tbat ths agent of ths
Interstate Commerce commission secured a
great deal more evidence than be expected
inculpating many prominent men In the
northwest, and that the four pending bills
are but the beginning of the prosecutions.
Reports are current that other railroads
will be Involved..
The present case is the first In th his
tory of the commission where tbe attention
of that body was directed to infractions of
the law by railroad mea. Heretofore and
prior to the issuance of the Injunction by
the United States court prohibiting secret
rates and preferences, any cut rste by any
Una haa always been met . by reprisals by
competing lines made In similar manner,
and governmental Investigation haa been
shunned. The restraining orders - leaned
against twelve of the strongest line east
and westbound from Chicago bad made such
action impossible, ,.,..., .. ,'
Agents of the various rsllrosds Interested
are said' to hays' made a quiet Investigation
which resulted In evidence being placed bo
fore ' the Interstate bommeree commission,
and upon this tbe federal grand Jury acted.

R. Bnrt ot the Ann Arbor railroad, stated
this afternoon that he had received no no
tification of th action ot the federal grand
jury at Minneapolis in Indicting him, in
connection with ether railway officials for
alleged manipulation ot rate. He said his
road had Some differences with the North
western regarding division Of freight rates,
but It was a matter which ths trafflo depart

BOER CONFERENCE A FAILURE
Meetings of the Oeaernls with Chans
herlata Is Bsrrea of
Resalts.
LONDON. Sept. (.Nothing Important. It
la believed. Is likely to ensue ss a result; of
tbe conference yesterday st th colonial
office between Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain and the Boer generals, Botha, Dewet
and Delarey.
Thr may be, however, Slight modifica
tions ot ths plans outlined for ths rs-settle.
ment of matters In th snnsxed territory,
but thes will bs In the nsturs bf Internal
changes mors Interesting to political econ
omists than to th world at large, and oven
these will only occur after Mr. Chamber
lain shall have consulted with Lord Mlroer,
British high commissioner In South Africa,
and. after such consultation, hav laid ths
matter before tbe cabinet. ' '
What transpired at yesterday's conference
Is little mor then what happened' when
one of th members ot ths cabinet received
a trade or other delegation In support of Its
particular views. No toplo really vital to
th conquered republics, so far as their re
lations to the outside world are concerned,
eould be admitted to discussion. ' Such
points were trrevocsbiy settled when' the
terms of peace wer Signed. '- " " "' '.
Th concession which the Boer -gWerr's
urged Mr. Chamberlain to make were' t
moet vitally Important to Individual 'Bor
especially to landowners, but of com par
lively small Importance to the rank and ft.
tn England, except' lo thOBe who," through
investment or otherwise, are directly con
cerned In South. Africa. - Except tor th
breaking of . precedents, hampering - Lord
Mllner or antagonising the llbeallst ot
Cape Colony and Natal It may be .said that
Mr. Chamberlain might easily hsv( conceded
all the generals asked. . - , , .--.
- Many Tf heels Witts WheeTe, -
The exceptions, however. Involve 'to
many wheel within wheels that1 the dl
cusloh are likely to be protracted, wRh a
result that will combine as much of a com
promise ss Is consistent with the Imperial
dignity. ' ; " '" "
: These half way courses and un'dramStta
annonncements do 'not enter Into' the reck
oning of the English public,' whose 'imagina
tion has been unusually fired by Accounts
of Frldsy's conference. Nothing hit ' so
forcibly ' brought ' homo to the average
Englishman the end of the war as -the
visit of tho Boar generals to Mr Chamber
lain's office ' and Ita possible - results ar
magnified out of all reckoning. ' ' '
The British government will - give' the
Boers all It ran in a desire to gain their
co-operation ' In ths establishment of' tb
new regime,' but already there Is a good
slsed storm brewing among the Boers of
Cspe Colony, Natal and Rhodesia, and
among the British residents of the South
African colonies, over what Is termed. "tbe
Imperial government's anxiety . to . reward
disloyalty and aggression." , .
One of th colonial premiers recently said
to a representative ot ths Associated Preset
"Mr. Chamberlain la more scared now by
the South African loyalists than ha ever
was hy tke n.w,r With S?s4ltiS3
prevailing. It la obviously. Impossible for
Mr. Chamberlain Immediately to .secure any
Important concessions for tha Boers, even
though hs may recognise the Justice of
their claims."

LONDON. Sept. (.(New. York, World Ca

claring that (he Boer . generals ' left,, Mr.
Chamberlain, after yesterday's historic con
ference in Downing strsst, much depressed
at ths government's determination to treat
the Boers as a conquered race. The results
of the conference are. for the . preaent,
strictly guarded from the public press, but
there Is no reason to believe that Mr. Cham
berlain departed from Tils laterday attitude
of co-operative conciliation. The Boer, gen
erals did, It seems, st first make suggestions
which had the appearance of an attempt to
reopen auch vexed questions as th appor
tionment of tbe lt,000,000 war compensa
tion, the treatment sf the Caps rebels and
the date ot the establishment ot the full rep
resentative government- It Is suggested thst
these old points were raised more at tbe
Instigation of the Kruger party on the. eon
