Building, Corner Sixteenth tad DougWs Strt Is a hard and cruel (net that In thla life of ours the sins of the man are often vis ited most heavily upon those whose welfare should be his one spt rial care. For the drunkard, for the man who loses his Job Ix-eanse ha can not control or will not control his deslw for liquor and for vicious pleasure, we have a feeling of anger and contempt mixed with our pity; but fur his unfortunate wtfc and little onea we feel only pity, and that of the deepest and Uu derest kind. Kverythlng possible should be done to en courage the growth of that spirit of self respect, self-restraint, self-rdluncc, which If It otiIv grows enough Is certain to make all those In whom It shows Itself move steadily upward toward the highest standard of American citizenship. It Is a proud snd responsible rlvllege to be citizens of this great self-governing nation; and each of us need to keep steadily before his eyes the fact that he is wholly until to take part In the work of governing others unless he can first govern himself. Hh must stand up manfully for his own rights; he must respect the rights of others; he must obey the laws, and he must try to live up to thoso rules of righteousness which . aro above ami behind1 all laws. . ' Tills applies Just as pinch to .the' man of greet wealth ns lo the man of small means; to Ilia capitalist as to the wage-worker. And us one practical point, let me urgo that In the event of any iDfllculty, especially If It Is what Is known as a labor trouble, both sides show themselves willing to meet, willing to consult and anxious each to treat the other reasonably and fairly, each to look at t!i other's siik of the chsc and to do the other Justice If only this course could le generally followed, . the chance of Industrial disaster would l minimized. . Fr, m IleHrr Manhood. Now, my friends, I want to read you an extract from U "-letter I have Just receded from a t'atholic prh'.Bt whow 1 knoefwell and whom 1 know to be a staunch a friend of the laboring mitn as there Is to be fou.id In this country. Now and then not loo often It la a good thing for all of us to hear what is not perhaps altogether pal atable, provided only that the person who tells the truth la our genuine friend, knows Klmt he is talking aiiouL jlevcn though he may not see all sides of the case), and tells us what he has to say, not with a desire to hurt our fengs, but with the trans parent purpose to do us Wood. 'With ilila foreword, hole la a part of the litter; "I would humbly recununmu that you lend your entire weight to the Cause which the Catholic Total Abstinence in Ion of Anieiica represents, and especially so in us relation to the working classes of tiiis country, for whom It Is doing so much good. You know that the temperance move ment Is a potent auxiliary to the Institu tions of our cAmntvy .in building up a bet ter manhood, 'and a truer. Christianity among our citizens. It played a very im portant part In the two coul strikes of lnoo and 1IM2, resitrctlvely, by keeping the men sober, and thus removing toe danger or riotous and unbecoming conduct, 'lucre la one discouraging feature connected Willi the upward tendency of the wnge scale among the workmen of this country. TUe higher the wages, the more money they spend in saloons. The shorter 'lie hours, the more they are inclined to absent them selves from home. An apparent disregard for family ties Is growing among tha poorer classes which will eventually lead to a disregard for the blessings our country affords them. Hence, with an Increase of wagesta corresponding movement for bet ter manhood, nobler citizenship and truer Christianity should be set on foot. Tho dignity 01 labor should be maintained. which can be done only through the love that a man should have for his work, and , through the Intelligence which he puts Into It. A steady hand and sober mind are c wnnii or iiuih inio and sober mind are I necessary for this. Hence, the necessity J of the temperance cause and or the eiioria which organized abstainers are putting into the movement." Now, In what la here written this priest does not mean that the tendency is lo grow worse; but he means that with shorter hours and Increased wages there Is a tend ency to go wrung which must be offset by movements such as this great temcrance movenient and similar efforts for social ami civic betterment, or else the Increase In leisure and money will prove a curse In tes.l of a blessing.

The hand of the Lord Is sometimes heavy upon the Just as well as upon the unjust, and In the life of labor and effort which we must lead on this earth It is not always possible either by work, by wisdom or by upright behavior to ward off disaster. .But i is most emphatically true mat toe chance for leading a happy und prosperous life Is Immensely Improved If only the man is decent, sober. Industrious and exercises foresight and Judgment. Let him re member above all mat tile performance or duty is the first essential to right living, and that a good type of average family life is the coiner stone of national happi ness und greatness. No man can be a good Citizen, can deserve the respect of his fel lows, unless first of nil he Is a good man In his own family, unless he does his duty faithfully by his wife und children. I strongly believe In trades unions wisely a-.'. Justly handled, in which the rightful purpose to benefit those connected with them is not accompanied by a desire to do Injustice or wrong to others. I believe in the duty of capitalist and wage-worker to try to seek one another out, to understand each the other's point of view, and to en deavor to ahow broad and kindly human sympathy one with the other. I lielieve In the work of these great tem perance organizations, of all klndre(J move ment like tho- Veung Men's and Voung Women's Christian association, In short 1n every movement which strives to help a man by teaching him how to help himself. Hut most of all I believe in the efficacy of the man himself striving continually to In crease his own self-respect by the way in which he does his duty to himself and to bis neighbor. John Mitchell's Address. Ma. Mitchell said: Speaking for the anthracite coal Workers, I lake great pleasure In supplementing and emphasizing the greeting and welcome ex tended to the president of the L'nlted Suites on behalf of the temperance societies and the municipal government of Wllkes barre. It Is not often that the chief ex ecutive of a great nation has found the time or yielded to the Inclination to honor by his presence and to participate In a meeting under -the auspices, of the men who earn their living by the performance of manual labor. The visit of President Roosevelt to the coal fields of Pennayl vanla as the guest of the temperance nuclei lea and the Lulled Mine Workers of America marks an epoch in the civic, social and Industrial history of this commonwealth. This occasion Is one of peculiar significance to the men for whom I have the honor to speak; It Is one thut will be long remembered by them. Imprinted Indelibly upon the hearts of the miners Is the recollection of the long con test they made and the great hardships they endured In the year 19"2, a contest brought to a happy termination through the intervention of our distinguished guest. It Is a pleasure to say that largely aa a .result, of his efforts, and mainly as a con-, seouenre of his action, the conditions of life add lalajr among the anthracite mlne workers nave ueen nnproveu anu in en tire people of this community have en Joyed an era of prosperity unprecedented in the bl,story of the hard coal regions. Antntcoulauia Are Dying. It Is equally Important to say that many of the bitter antagonisms and prejudices of former years, both between the miners and their employers, and even among the mine workers themselves, have been slowly but surely dissipated and the prospect of pernanent and honorable Industrial peace grows brighter day by day. In the pusult of Its ideals trades unionism has Justified its existence by good works ana nign purposes, euowiy ana gradually it has progressed toward the fulfillment of its mission It has elevated the standard of living of the American workmen and con ferred upon him higher wages and more leisure. It haa Increased efficiency, dimin ished accidents, averted disease, kept the children In school and improved the rela tions between employer and employed. It has conferred benefits, made sacrifices, and, unfortunately, committed errors. We believe It not unrtaaunable to ask that we be Judged not by our faulta, but rather by our virtues. To find justification for. our existence or the policies to pursue we do not rely on the claims we ourselves make. Abraham Lincoln, In a speech de livered at Hartford Conn., In lstio, while addressing the striking shoe workers, said: "Thank God, we have a system of labor where there can be a strike. Whatever the - pressure, there la a point where the workmen may stop." Wendell hiilllips Is quoted as having said: "I rejoice af every effort workmen may make to organize. I halt the labor movement; It is rny only hope for democ racy. Organize and stand together. 1-et the nation hear a united demand from the laboring voice." William K. Gladstone said: "Trade unions are the bulwarks of mod ern democracies." And so we might go on with endless endorsements from the great men of the world, whose hearts beat In sympathy with their, struggling fellow men. i , - '' Hut we need not depend entirely on the utterances of the immortal dead. We have with us as our honored guest this day a man whose name and deeds will live as long as h republic shall endure one who has on Innumerahlo Miccaslons spoken In no uncertain terms In defense mf the right of the workmen to organize, and haa so far sul scribed to the constitution and princi ples of modern trade unions hlmseli as to accept honorary membership -in one of them. And how, Mr. President, may I again bid you welcome? May 1 eapress.lhe hope that your visit among us may prove aa pleasant lo you aa il Is appreciated by us? f'laus for Today's Trip. WAVERLY.'

PEITICREWDOESX'TDENYALL Ei-Senator Emilri Whan Asked About Banning for Governor. DID NOT ORDER THE FACT ANNOUNCED Will Rot Fully Confess that He Has Lost Msht Entirely of the Varlona Reform Parties. "Ah, they don't know whr.t they are talking about. 1 haven't told anybody to announce me as a candidate for gov ernor. They are Just talking." Thla Is the humorous manner In which R. F. Petttgrew, former senator from South Dakota, met the question yester day, "Is It true you are going to run for governor of South Dakota on the re publican ticket?" In that Inimitable way of his, the for mer companion of Charley Towne and other silver republican leaders and erst while populists smiled and said "I am not In politics." when asked If he had returned to his first love, the re publican party. It Is an open secret that- ever since that blue Monday some Ave years ago when, through a quiet tip from his good friend, James J. Hill. Mr. Pettlgrew was able to clean up tC5o,0O0 In the Burlington- Northern Pacific tug-of-war, he has been able to see less need for the services of the populist, silver republican or demo cratic parties. ' "But, senator, they do say you are going to' be a candidate on the republican ticket for the gubernatorial nomination," was suggested. Cannot Help It. "I can't help what they say, can I?" rejoined the whilom atatesnian, smiling another of those knowing smiles native to Fouth Dakota. "But I'll tell you ono thing," he added, "the republicans know who to be afraid of," and then he winked one eye. "There's one thing sure; I have been elected to office when I wanted to be." "This Is an age of the literature of exposure and the magazines are doing somo good work." said the senator, by way of variety. "It Is tho entering wedge that will sooner or later destroy hide-bound partisanship. Governor LaFollette of Wis consin, Mayor Weaver of 'Philadelphia and Governor Folk of Missouri arc types of a hew era In our political economy that bode well for the political future of the country. Ida M. Tar be 1 1 and Lincoln Steffens are both doing a good work, but true reform must come from within ourselves. The system of graft must be destroyed, root and branch, and It Is Incumbent upon us to uphold the men who are brave enough to fight the dragon of graft In lta own lair. I think this wave of warfare on graft and corruption in high places la destined to grow with resistless force until official corruption will become so Intol erable that we may yet hope for honesty, and see the punishment of violators of public trusts." Mr. Pettlgrew was accompanied by Mrs. Pettlgrew. They left for Salt Lake Thurs day evening, where Senator Pettlgrew goes to look after his mining Interests In that vicinity, which are quite extensive. (Continued from First Page.) ceedings. The purpose of the Russian note was to make permanent record com plete and make it show clearly the attitude of the plenipotentiaries from the beginning Of the conference. General Discussion. Follows, The official credentials were then ex changed. As each side previously had an opportunity to examine them, thla was largely a matter of form. A somewhat general discussion followed. In which Baron Komura and M. Wltte spoke frankly of the purpose of the meeting. The best of spirit was manifested and the discussion widened. Baron Rosen and Mr. Takahlra participa ting, French and English being used. Dur ing the course of the exchange it was agreed that Baron Komura should Imme diately present the 'Japanese terms and M. Wltte promised to give a reply at the earli est possible moment. In order to avoid mlaundnrstfindlngs it was arranged that the reply and all formal communications should be made In writing. This understanding having been reached Just before the ses sion adjourned. Baron Komura handed the document to M. Wltte, who thrust It Into his pocket without opening It. While the Japanese went to luncheon M. Wltte, with M. Rosen, repaired to their rooms, wh,eie they examined' the document on which so much depended. A desire for expedition was expressed on both sides. While It Is hardly possible that the Russian reply can be given at this afternoon's session, the plenipotentiaries will remain at the navy yard, the Japanese awaiting the pleasure of their adversaries. Assistants Are Barred. Neither the Japanese or the Russian en voys or aides wore the uniforms of their rank today and it Is probable on account of the heat that It will be decided to dis card even formal civil attire for-negligee apparel. Among the Russian and Japanese dele gates at the Wentworth there is a great discussion about the acqulesence of M. Wltte In the suggestion of Baron Komura to exclude delegates from the conference. Baron Komura raised a specific objection to the presence of Prof. De Martens, whom M. Wltte and Baron Rosen desired to have In attendance In an advisory capacity, of fering to agree to the presence of any of the Japanese delegates. But the Japanese declined, saying they should not ask for the, presence of any of the delegates. M. Wltte did not press the point, but it may be raised again later should a basis of settle ment be reached. Historical precedents are In favor of the admission of delegates and should the Japanese objection stand it would, independent of Its bearings upon the present negotiations, create a prece dent by which an appeal might be made In future. In lnternatloral negotiations only the plenipotentiaries are usually entitled to sign whatever treaty or convention is con cluded, but delegates frequently participate In general discussion, and in some cases at the conclusion of conferences are provided with special credentials lo append their signatures. Historical I acres. Mr. De Martens, for Instance, who was a delegate at the peace conference of 1&99, also presided at the meetings of one of the sections which Included both plenipo tentiaries and delegates, ninety-five persons in all. At the end of the conference he was clothed with the necessary powers to sign theagreement. Another historical In stance which Is quoted la that of the African conference held In Berlin In 1S&4, In which all the delegates participated. Mr. Wilkin, accompanied by Commander Boutakoft, the Russian naval attache, and Captain Rousslne, the naval delegate, to day went off In a steam launch to the Dolphin and Mayflower and presented the compliments of M. Wltte to Commanders Wlnslow snd Gibbons. Commander Isham and Mr. Takasugl paid similar visits on behalf of Baron Komura, Tsar Hereltlna Jap Terms. Immediately after the adjournment of the meeting M. Wltte set his secretaries ' to work to put' Into cipher the conditions of i peace prcstutcd by lieron Komura, which are now being eahled to Pt. Petersburg, and will be Immediately transmitted to the em peror. M. Wltte personally will rut Into cipher his own comment upon the char acter of the condition and his views as to what action had best be taken. While en gaged In this Important task he retired to one of the rooms set apart for the Rus sian mission. Only M. Korostovets of the Russian mis sion returned from the navy yard to the Wentworth fur the purpose of communicat ing to the press about this morning's meet ing. None of the Japanese secretaries or plenipotentiaries have returned yet. . The Japanese peace envoys left the naval stores building at the navy yard in their automobile shnrtlv ftr 5 n'eloek Imtlcat. ! Ing that the afternoon session of the con ference had been abandoned. The automo bile of the Russian envoys at thla time was waiting at the doors of the building. The Russian minister to Peking wss In consulta tion with the Russian plenipotentiaries at the navy yard during . the session today. At 2:30 Mr. Sato Issued an official state ment about this morning's meeting of the conference Identical with that Issued by M. Korostovets. The only difference was the fotmer was In English, the latter In French, i Russian Replies to Sate. With regard to the frequent Interviews with Mr. Sato and the other Japanese dele gates which arc appearing In the press a prominent personage belonging to M. Wltte's suite made the following state ment: Throughout the war the Japanese have made all the efforts in their power to win the press to their side. They have pro ceeded In a fashion quite comprehensible from their point of view, but less so from that of tho public, which has swallowed what they have pleased to furnish. Of course tho people of all countries, in Amer ica as well as in Russia, are readily suscep tible to a propaganda of Idoas, no matter how false they may be. . For instance, the papers of the lost few days have contained an Interview with Mr. Sato, In which he says that Russia must pay a war Indemnity hecause it Is at the end of its resources, and that the Russian representatives, al though making wry faces, will have to pay even If the word Indemnity Is not used. It Is not possible tn suppose that Mr. Sato wilfully misstates facts and the most char. Itable view is that he is badly Informed. He probably does not know that Russia In all her history never paid a war Indemnity. She did not even pay an Indemnity to Na polean the Great when, In 1812 with his army, he Invaded Russia and entered Mos cow. It is therefore difficult to suppose that Russia will psy an indemnity to the Japanese when the chief of tho army, Mar shal Oyama, who, notwithstanding the re spect due to him, is not Napolean the Great. I p to the present, after a vear and a. half, not only has he not entered Moscow, but has not even reached the real Russian frontier, Indeed In the last few months ho baa remained near Gunshu Pass, more than 6e0 miles from that frontier, not daring to attack General Llnevltch. Mr. Sato. In his Ignorance, probably does not know that two years after the entrance of Napolean Into Moscow the Russian army, in 1S14. entered larls and dethroned the great warrior. The Russian representative added that he did not say this to minimize the military success obtained by the Japanese, but be cause In his opinion it is not clever to magnify these successes and try to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Wltte May Modify Concessions. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 10,-Dlspatches received here from Portsmouth Indicate that Minister Pokotiloff s arrival has re sulted In an important modification In M. Wltte's views. M. Wltte la now willing to make terms with ap4n, conditioned on the surrender of the Chinese Eastern railway between Harbin and Port Arthur, and to satisfy any reasonable financial demand provided Russia, Is permitted to retain Sakhalin. These terms have been commu nicated to Pejerhof and are satisfactory to tho emperor. Public sentiment in St. Petersburg shows signs of changing to a pessimistic tone. Decslve news frqm.' Portsmouth is awaited most anxiously, especially, .as rumors are In circulation that ,, the. Japanese . terms are high and that-tss plenipotentiaries on both sides will maintain a firm attitude. These rumors have brought out a reiteration of the opinion that Russia must not under any- circumstances accept ,a humllattng or a dishonorable peace or k peace which would materially weaken Its position In the far. east, The knowledge that a national assembly will be promul gated next Saturday Is being used a basis for the argument tlmt the resultant Im provement In the International situation will place the cpuntry in a much better position to continue the war.

STRIKERS APPEAL TO STATE Charge that Bixty-Eight Esilwgy 8utions in Minnesota Are Cloed STATEMENT OF SUPERINTENDENT SIADE Great Northern Railway Official Kays Ninety Per tent of the Oper ators Are Rack at Work. ST. PAt'L, Minn., Aug. 1ft Information reached the governor's office late today of the filing with the State Railroad and Warehouse commission of a complaint by- organized labor Interests that there are six ty-eight stations closed along the line of the Great Northern In Minnesota. It Is not announced what action the Railroad and Warehouse commission will take in tho matter. There will be no arbitration of the strike of the telegraphers against the Great Northern railway. Superintendent Blade said: "Ninety per cent of our men have re turned to work and we certainly will not arbitrate with the other 10 per cent." Following the receipt of the letter urging arbitration, which was dictated by Gov ernor Johnson last night, C. Bunn, general counsel for the Northern Pacific railway, had a lengthy conference with the Minne sota executive today. Beyond the fact that the conference had to do with the strike sltuntlon, nothing was given out by the legislative depart ment. Governor Johnson this afternoon received a letter from President Perham of the teleg raphers, accepting his offer of arbitration for the strikers. Mr. Perham writes: "I am aware of the troubles being caused by the telegraphers' strike and I desire to bring them to an end as speedily as pos sible. In behalf of the railroad telegra phers. I endorse your suggestion In regnrd to submitting the matter to arbitration, and accept the tender of the officers of the ex ecutive department to' bring about a settle ment of the present difficulty." Up to a late hour this evening Governor Johnson had not received a reply to his let ter to President Hill or President Elliott. Depnty Mierlffa Onard Offices. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 10. The North ern Pacific today engaged fourteen deputy sheriffs, to be assigned to small stations where trouble with the striking telegra phers has occurred, or Is feared. The moit sefious trouble occurring thus far was the forcible ejection of an operator at Coving ton and the interference with company service of the railroad is In charge of the wires In two or three places. The secret organization of the force of guards. PUBLISHER IS LOCKED UP Charare of Criminal Libel Preferred Aanlnst nobert A. Irvlnsr by Kentucky Congressman. NEW YORK, Aug. 10 Robert A. Irving, publisher of the New Yorker, was arrested today, charged with criminal libel. He was about to start for Newport. Irving was taken at once tp the criminal court house, arraigned before Magistrate Breen and, In default of $1,000 ball, was locked up In the Tombs. The complainant Is Congressman Rhlnock of Covington, Ky., who some weeks ago caused the arrest of Robert W. Criswell, editor of the New Yorker, on a similar charge. Criswell subsequently met with a tragic death beneath a subway train. The charge against Irving grows out of the same article upon which. the prosecu tion of Criswell was based. The article cen sured Representative Longworth of Ohio for Introducing Mr. Rhlnock to Miss Alice Roosevelt during the visit of the preetdent's daughter to the Latonia races near Cin cinnati. MOORE SAYS NO GRAFTING Head of Weather Dureau Denies Chance of Irregularity Made Aigalnat Dureau. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. In a signed statement today, Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau, Agricultural department, denies that there has been graft or other Irregularities In his bureau. The allegations made against him In cer tain newspapers related to the construc tion and management of the station of the weather bureau in the Blue Ridge moun tains, Virginia, .known as Mount Weather, and among other things charged him with employing unskilled labor at 13 per day. twice the amount paid ordinarily and four times as much as paid for labor In the vi cinity of the station. Prof. Moore declares that no secret service agents have been at work In his bureau and states that had the persons circulating the stories examined the payrolls of the bureau, which are open to Inspection, they would have saved their readers from "reading secretly secured scandal Instead of openly procured news," STRIKE ON BRIDGE COMPANY Ironworkers Nave Grievance Aaalnst American Bridge Company and Stop Work.

Piers have been put In at intervals. Now these piers must be allowed to settle thoroughly before the weight of the build ing can be allowed to rest on them, a condition necessary, before the remaining dirt can be taken out and the concrete foundation . completed.
