LONDON. Sept. S. Mr. Roosevelt's de
mand that the United States fortify the
ran a ma canal, net forth In hla apeeoh at
Omaha yesterdny, la characterized by the
WeKtmlniiter Gazette today aa a "direct re
f i Jection of the term of the American and
. British agreement of 1WI under which the
neutralization of the canal ta guaranteed."
The carrying out of auch a plan, the Qo
cette says, "would mean the tearing up of
the agreement"
The paper admits It to be reasonable that
th United States should assume some mil
itary control over the new waterway, but
suggests to the former president that the
United States should secure any alteration
of the terms of the agreement "through
diplomatic methods and not by th repudi
ation of Its engagements."
Officials Are Surprised.
WASHINGTON. Sept. S. Officials both
o'f the State department and of the army
expressed surprise today that any question
had been raised at thin time as to the re
port of the United States to erect fortifi
cations along the Panama canal. They re
gard tha unfavorable comment In the Eng
lish press on Colonel Roosevelt's remarks
about the necessity for fortifying the canal
as lack, of appreciation both of tha action
of the American government and of the
attitude of the British Foreign office It
self. By Implication. It la declared by
American officials that the American and
British agreement of 1901, known aa the
Hay-Pauncefote threaty. gave the United
States the right to fortify the canal.
The Implication Is drawn from several
rlausea, It Is pointed out. This treaty' aet
forth that the' United States adopted as
the basis of the neutralization of the canal.
the rules governing the Sues canal, with
certain modifications. In contrast with the
Bueis canal rules, the Panama canal rules,
it Is contended, contain no specific author?
lxatlon. for an enemy" of the United States
- to , uho -ttieloa'Aal the- detriment of- tha
latter' Interests.. It la therefore claimed
by th United States that its guarantee o
neutralize the canal only . refers to bellig
erents not enemies of the United States
Furthermore, It la added, no express pro
vision was Incorporated In the rules for
bidding the United States to fortify the
canal, as was done with Turkey in tha case
of the Sues canal- . . '

V tlcularly significant because of the fact
14at the Ijord Pauncefote, who drew the
treaty of 1901 with Secretary of Stat Hay,
wa on of the ncgotlatora of the treaty
that provided for the Sues rules. In this
Jj connection, according to the understanding
'Jlr by the State department, the view of the
British government waa expressed In a
memorandum by Lord Lansdowne, on
August 81, 1901, communicated to Secretary
Hay through Lord Pauncefote.
"I understand that by the omission of
all reference to th matter of defense," he
aid. "the United States government de
sires to reserve tbe power of taking meas

Tha case of Miss Fitch has ramifying
elements which are In- accord with an

has outlined. Miss Morgan's Idea la to

realms of literature, art or music.
Mteny sad cases have been brought to

have her efforta criticised first by a
Jury of competent men and women to
learn whether she la really fitted to

It has also been suggested, but not con

advice and kindly counsel of Judge Ben
Lindsay of Colorado before putting Into
complete consummation her plan to help

Although Miss Morgan Is averse to
discussing her altrulstlo plana and her

MANILA, 8ept 3. The uprising In Nueva
Viscaya led by Simeon Mandac, former
governor of Ilcocoa Norte, collapsed today
when Mandac, who had been seised by th
people of the province among whom he
had sought to stir up trouble, was turned
over to the constabulary.
A few of Mandac's right-hand men also
were arrested, and his other followers dis
persed. . It Is estimated that the band df
outlaws originally numbered 600, but It
dwindled soon to 200, and these had but
few arras.'
lAn Interesting feature of the uprising was
the co-operation of th natives in running
down the disturbers. Mandac will now
probably serve the fourteen years' Im
prisonment sentence which has been hang
ing over him since conviction for killing a
prisoner while he waa governor.

SIMILAR ADDRESS AT SIOUX FALLS
i mmmmmmm
Colonel Talk to Hna-o Crowd In
Sooth Dakota Cltr. Where Ap
plause So Ueafenlnsr He Can
Hardly Proceed.
SIOUX FALLS. S. 13., Sei. -Ex-President
Roosevelt today broke his silence in
regard tr the Taft administration. H
heartily commended one phase of It al
though he said nothing which could be con
strued as a reference to tho administration
as a whole. He confined himself to tha
work which President Taft has don for
the establishment of the principle of regu
lating the tariff through a commission,
and to the president's success In conduct
ing negotiations with foreign powers for
the application of the new tariff law.
Colonel Roosevelt also outlined clearly hit .
position in regard to the tariff. He reiter
ated his belief In the need of regulation
of duties by means of a commission, and
declared that the tariff should be In th
Interests of the' worklngman, and not for
tho benefit of a comparatively few wealthy
men.
"I believe In such a measure of protection
as will equalise the cost of production her
and abroad. That Is, as will equalise the'
labor cost," Bald he. "I believe In auch
supervision of the working of the law as
will make certain that the protected In
dustry gives that difference to the men
that we are most anxious to protect th
working-men, and if I find It Is not giving
It I would take off the tariff duty from
that particular thing."
System of Tariff Making;.
Colonel Roosevelt made ten speeches on
the tariff today. The first one, delivered at
Sloux City, la., contained hla reference
to the Taft administration. In a second
speech, made here late this afternoon, he
amplified his views on the tariff,leclarlng
that although the Payne-Aldrlch law had "
given rise to grave dissatisfaction, the fault '
lay with the system Under which the tariff
laws are made, rather than with the men '.
who make them.
It waa in tho presence of Senator Dol
llver and Hubbard of Iowa hud Martin ot
South Dakota that the former president
made th first statement concerning ' tha
Tatf administration - that haa passed nil
lips since the day of his return from Africa,
eleven weeks ago todsy. Colonel Roosevelt
chose a state where the Insurgent move
ment 1 atromr In whtetj to make, his first
remni M i any lengtn concerning in tarilt, t
and took the oDoortunitv thus nrnuninJ
to declare himself In regard to m phase ol
the administration's work which met hi
approval. . - w
Tha colonel passed through parts of four
states today, and everywhere along tha
line of travel he waa received by en-
ttlli.l.aH. nwnru k' I ... 1 .. - -. ' . A i
early in the day, he crossed Into Iowa,
and thence a corner of Minnesota, Into
South' Dakota. The people turned ou,t with '
bands and flags' to welcome him, and he
made speech after gpeech from ' th rear
platform, telling' his hearers about his poli
tical Ideals and his view a to good cltlion-'
ship.
Mr. Barnes la Delicto .
Colonel Roosevelt read with interest to
day the statement Issued yesterday by Wil
liam Barnes, Jr., of Albany, criticising him
for his western speeches, which Mr. Barnes
said, "have startled all thoughtful men
and impressed them with the danger which
ilea In his political ascendancy."
"I think there Is something perfectly de
licious," said the colonel, "In the idea of
Mr. Barnes flying to the defense of th
supreme court and righteousness."
At Sioux City he left his car to speak
in a baseball park, which was not large
enough to hold ail the lowans who wanted
to hear htm. Those who could not squeeze
'their way In, 'collected In the railroad yards
to catch a glimpse of the traveler as h
paused to and from tho park. From some
of the smaller towns,' where no stop by
th special train waa scheduled, telegrams
wer eont ahead, telling Colonel Roosevelt
that the people were waiting at the station,
and he stopped for a few minutes to
talk and shake hands. The people who had
one or inure babies brought them all along
and the colonel never failed to speak about
them, and urge tha duty of attention to
"the crop of children."
The people of Sioux Falls had made great
preparations to receive Colonel Roosevelt,
and the plans went through with a dash
which kept the colonel busy. People from
many miles around came to this city to
attend the celebration. Th streets were
a mass of waving flaks and bunting, and
pictures of Roosevelt filled the windows
and floated from wires hung across th
roadways. Indians drtssed In all their gay
finery, mingled with the crowds of holiday
makers. ,
Theru was a parade ol Sioux Falls aa
soon as Colonel Roosevelt arrived. Tha
crowd almost swamped the police 'and It
cheered continually aa hard as It could
After the paiade, the colonel wa taken to
a huge clri'u tent, which had been set
up In a square in th middle of the city,
to make his ipt-ecli There Is an auditorium
la Sioux Falls which holds 3.500 persons,
but there were several times that number
who wanted to hear the speech. Th rows
of seals which extended up the canvas cov
ering of the big lent wore filled, and
crowds surged In to contor tholr eyes on th
colonel, who stood high above them on a
platform. Wlieu he appeared on the plat
form a roar ot cheers burst out which
lasted for several minutes, and It took
him a good de&l longer than hu had ex
pected to make his speech, because the peo
