In organisations of wage workers. Organisation Is one of the laws of our soclel and economic development at this time, but 1 feel that we must always keep before our minds the fact that there Is nothing sacred In the name Itself. To call an organisation an ornn fil iation does not make It a good one. The worth of an organisation depends on Its being bandied with the courage, the skill, the wisdom, the spirit of fair dealing as between man and man and the wise self restraint which, I em glad to be able to xay, your brotherhood has shown.

I have Just hinted In' the geperal figures I gave you at how much haa been done, but it still remains true in the brother hood and everywhere else throughout American life that In the last' resort noth ing can supply the plaoe of the man's own Individual qualities.

There Is in modern life, with the arov of civilisation, with the crowth of luxury. a sudden' tendency to softening the na tional fiber. There is a certain tendency to forget, in consequence or their disuse, the rugged virtues which' Inspire life and I feel that professions like yours have a tonic effect upon the whole body Dolittc.

I hope to sea all. our Deo pie develop the softer, gentler virtues to an ever-increasing degree, nut i nop never to see them lose the sterner virtues that make men men. I feel that the profession of railroading Is a fine antl-scorbutlc that It doea away with the tendency toward softness. In American citlsenshlp we can succeed fiermanently upon only the basis of stand ng shoulder to shoulder, working (n as sociation by organisation, each working for all, and yet remembering that we need each so to shape things so that a man ran develop to beat advantages all the force and powers at his command.

That we have got to have. It la Just aa It la in war. when we went into the Spanish war a lot of our national guards were armed with the black powder musket, a weapon that makes the crossbow rather recent by com parison.

President Roosevelt braved the elements late this afternoon and In defiance of a hard rain storm, waa driven through streets lined with people at a stand on Main avenue. nearly a mile from tthe depot, where ho spoke to 12,000 people, who stood quiet. while a drenching rain poured down on them. AH along the line of march the presi dent stood with bared bead, bowing to the cheering throng. He aooke as follows: My fellow citizens and countrymen: I am sorry for m v aaka that th nin should have come at this particular mo ment, but youieeded It and I am glad you Warma Trnaeaaeeana Hearts.

(Cheers and applause.) There were differ ences ss to Andrew Jackson's policies, but the character of the man. his rugged hon esty, his absolute fearlessness, his de votion to the right as he saw the right, are the qualities which we nerer can af ford to lose sight e)f In this republic. At thta time the storm had broken with such fury that the president's voice could not be heard ten feet from the stand. The entire party again took carriages and waa driven to the residence of Mrs. William G. Browntow, wife of Tennessee's great editor, former governor and United 8tates senator. The president called on the aged woman and spent several minutes with her. Then the University of Tennessee was visited, after which the party returned to the depot.

LONDON. Sept. 8 Intense Interest has been evoked here by the sinking of the revolutionary gunboat Crete-a-Plerrot at Oonalvea, Haytl, by the German cruiser Panther and the morning papers devote lengthy editorial articles to the Incident. A majority of the papers agree that there Is no likelihood of serious consequences de veloping, but they expatiate on the omin ous possibilities which the affair has evoked. The Dally Telegraph says: "There is no doubt that Germany was perfectly within her legal rights In sinking the Crete-a-Pierrot and she has secured a permanent and scrupulous respect for her mercantile flag throughout South American waters. No International complications will follow, but it Is Impossible to overlook the danger that some similar Incident in the future may drop the spark Into the raagatlne of the Monroe doctrine." Will Canse n Teaalon. The Telegraph holds that the precedent established by this vigorous application of the "mailed fief if followed cannot fall to bring about a situation of perilous ten sion. The, strict principles, the paper says, with which American statesmen regard Monroeism are one question, the suscepti bilities of the American people are an other. The latter might become excited, while the former were not technically contra vened by an incident such as the slnklcg of the Crete-a-Plerrot. The Dally Mall dilates on the gratlfylug unanimity of tho views of Washington and Berlin concerning the incident and ssys It believes the German captain of Panther haa done a good service If his actton forms a basis of common action against Irre sponsible states like Haytl. The Morning Post says the incident is valuable as introducing some necessary limitations to Monroeism as set forth by 1 "resident Roosevelt and asks: "If tbe punitive process should Involve the occupation of territory for lta purposes what would be the attitude of the United States?" Prealdeat and Emperor. The Dally News publishes a striking analogy of the personal characteristics of Emperor William and President Roosevelt and refer to the possibilities of two men "of such amazing energy, who have so far only served their apprenticeship," being brought into "a conflict so powerful and o piquant that the faintest hint of It is sufficient to send a wave of excitement throughout the continents." "If Panther's actios w mnt s a hint to America, President Roosevelt," says the News, "has very astutely turned a blind eye to the signal.' He declines to see any hint. A smaller man than the president would be tempted under such circumstances to play to the galleries. He has acted with characteristic good sense In brushing the matter aside as a trivial incident which has Illuminated by Its brief flash the vast sea of possibilities that would have to be faced should the old world ever come Into direct conflict with Monroeism. '' The Standard saye: "Germany has re sented Interference with her commerce by the anarchlstleal West Indian blacks and as promoted a regular and commonplace action with the maximum of emphasis and that Is all." WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. As was expected. Mr. Powell, the United States minister to Haytl, reported promptly to the State de partment the sinking of the Haytlan gun boat Crete-a-Plerrot by the German gun boat Panther.' ' ' Both of the 'minister's dispatches are dated yesterday at Port au Prince. In the first dispatch the m'nlster said it was re ported that Panther had called upon Kllllck to surrender; that he had refused and that Panther had sunk Crete-a-Plerrot and all tbe crew-bad been loat. The aecond and later dispatch corrected the statement as to the crew, saying that they had eacaped. The minister promised to make an extended report by mall. . Tbe Navy department was also informed of the event In the following dispatch, re- I ceived from Commander McLean, in com mand of the United State cruller Cin cinnati!: j PORT AU PRINCE. Sent. 8.-Secretarv of the .Navy, Washington: German gun boat Panther sunk Crete-a-Plerrot at Gonaivea. Crew escaped. Panther re turned to Port au Prince. M'LBAN. A matter stand, there 1 nothing to be done by the State department at this Junc ture. The official have not changed their view that the Incident wa one between tne German and Haytlan government and that It wa' not our business. The Berlin ad vice to the effect that the Haytlan govern ment had expressed lta satisfaction with the situation being brought to tb atten tion of tbe department here, went to con firm tbe official in their position. No American Interest hsve been affected unfavorably. In their Judgment, and a tha United State ha not recognised the rev olutlonst In Haytl, there 1 no on to make complaint to thla government. On the whole, it IS felt that the termination of Kllllck' carr In summary faehlon may have a salutary effect, not only In Haytl, but alio In South and Central American countries, where heretofore the (lightest revolutionary disturbance has been made the pretext for vexations and expensive In terference with foreign merchant vessels. Only recently ths British cruiser Phaeton waa obliged to force the Colombian govern ment to release tbe British steamer Equa dor, which It wk Intended to impress Into service a a troop transport, while atlll more recently Commander McCrea adopted a similarly vigorous course with respect to this same Admiral Kllllck and It la not doubted that had he remained in Haytlan water he would have seled the Crete-a-Plerrot for violation of hi warning to let foreign eblpplng alone. Altogether these active naval measures are expecting to have beneficial results throughout that section of tbe world, so far aa foreign commerce 1 concerned. .

Lancaster denying alleged admission by hlin to a clerk of Mr. Quthrle, of counsel, fur th defendant corporation, also wer filed today, The brief Iliad by tbe attorneys for Mr Hod, accuse th United Bute Steel cor poratlen and Its attorneys of tampering with James H. Lancaster, a witness for the complainants, of being afraid to examine Mr. Hodge, of Intimidating would-be com plainants and of attempting to delay a Judicial decision on the merits of the rase. "As the position of these professional majority stockholders becomes more safe from ordinary attack, their boldness in violating equity and good morals propor tionately Increases," ssys Mr. Hodge, through his lawyers. "It is becoming more and more Important for them to stifle In quiry In court and therefore, as a first step, to make It so disagreeable to sue them that they will not be sued." In conclusion, the complainants ask for an early decision on their motion on the Injunction to restrain the proposed retire ment of stock and issutl of bonds.
