The work of reforming present conditions Is confined to neither political party, the Speaker said. I.otli parties being well rep resented In the efforts nt reform bm well as In the constructive tactics of reactlon arlea. 'The dcmocrnllc parte Is not so close) jr tilled with the reactionary forces, "the In terests." as Is the repuhlican party, said Ihe Kovernor, and therefore, he said, the democratic party Is better ahle. to serve the people In the "process of restoration." Great rare should be taken In the selec tion of party leaders, the speaker urged. The processes of the present reform move ment are fundamentally conservative, therefore excitement should be avoided and (tenia Rogues silenced. The .New Jersey executive said the In itiative and referendum In the flnld of leg islation and the recall In the field of ad ministration are Intended to restore repre sentative government. Hut the recall should not apply to Judges, who neither make nor administer the laws, but only interpret them. The presence of . Governor Herbert 8. Hud Icy of Missouri added Interest to the occasion. Both Mate legislatives were re ferred to during the evening as presi dential pn. u nities In 1912. Governor Wilson's epech here tonight Wa.j the first to be delivered during his western tour. He spent a busy day here as the guest ot local civic, organizations. A luncheon at noon, a drive over the boulevards and a public reception, at which hundreds of citizens met the gov ernor, were among the functions In la honor. , - following la Mr. Wilson's speech, in part: "What we are witnessing now Is not 10 v much .MvMionhict et' parties aa a. cotv-i test of Ideals, a struggle between those who, because they do not understand what Is happening, blindly hold en to what Is and those who, because they do see the real questions of the pres ent and of the future In a clear, reveal ing light, know that there must be sober change; know that progress, none the leas active and determined because It Is sober and Just, Is necessary for the maintenance of our Institutions and the rectification of our life. In both the great national parties there are men who feel this ardor of progress and of reform, and In both parties there are men who hold back, who struggle to restrain change, who do not understand It or who have reason to fear it.

Excitement 'over the dumping of th Alaaka Steamship j cnmiony't coal pile Into the bay. as a protest against President Taft'a failure to (acknowledge receipt of several hundred ca- e,,t him ""k'n iHm to expedite the opening of the Alaska coal fields, subsided today. Deputy mar shals are guarding the company's property. It is thought there will be no further trou ble. The excitement caused by the govern ment's failure to hurry action In the Alaska jeoal land eases reached a climax here es terday when SOO business men and cltfzens. armed with shovels, marched to the ocean dock of the Alaska Steamship eompnny. where they proceeded to throw several hundred tons of British Columbia coal Into the bay. Incensed at the thought of no reply to many appeals cabled to President Taft,' to urge early action looking to the opening of the Alaska coal fields, the citi zens of Cordova decided to follow the ex ample.. net by the "Boston Tea Party." thus expressing the serious crisis that has arisen In the Alaska situation. For some time senlimt-nt has been growing. CHAPLIN, Conn. May 5 . Governor Wal ter 10.

Governor Clark said: "The demonstra tion has called attention to the necessity of early action. The secretary of the Inte rior Is fully In sympathy with the needs of the people of Alaska." WASHINGTON. May B.-Secretary of the InterloFlsher has answered by mall the cablegrams which were sent to President Taft by the citizens of Katalla and Cor dova. Alaska, asking for relief from the coal situation In that territory.

The dispatches, of which there were about eighty, were turned over to the Interior department by President Taft.' In his reply to these messages Secretary Fisher said that he was now studying the situation In the territory thoroughly and would render such relief aa he could as soon aa possible.

I'AKES REVENUE FROM Tp' N'X More Bondage Than Free, N .a Pro posed Measure. SEES NO EQUALITY AT ALL IN IT Denies to One Class what it Will Give 1 to Another. ENGINEERS OPPOSE CABLE PLAN General Bit by Transmits Report Snr Ina Proposed Method of Handling Mlasonrl Is Retnm to Tern nornry Mriiirn, (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. May S.-tSpecial Tele gram. (-Representative Sloan this afternoon was accorded close attention by a large majority of the members of house when he defined his posittion on the so-called "farmers' free list" bill now before that body. "Your bill for which you aak support," said Mr. Sloan addressing the majority side, "Is charged on thla side and prac tically admitted on the other to be the means of redress for wrong or damage of the Canadian pact. A sort of 'hush money' for Injury committed. What are its claims? "It will deprive the treasury of tlO.rtnn.0no of revenue that Is scarcely virtue. The real claim of every speaker on your side aeema to be that It will save money for the farmers, hence it Is called 'the farmers' free list bill.' If It stands that test In the Interest of my district, I shall vote for It. There seems to be but little reciprocity In this hill, however, but It is reciprocity like a fish giving its body to the barbed hook for toothsome angle worms. "There Is more bondage than freedom In that farmers' free list bill. There Is some alliteration which seems to help the sound; but If alliteration Is all you want, prefix the word fraudulent to. the name and make It read 'fraudulent farmers' free list.' and you will have more alliteration and In cidentally more truth. "I must decline to vote for this bill In its entirety. I do not want to violate the pure food law which requires the label to correspond with the goods." Referring to the recent Baltimore love feast, where It was declared that the con templated tariff changes would be schedule by schedule, representative Sloan said: "I have asked by bills now before the ways and means committee for free lum ber, free shoes, free sa t. free wire, and free sewing machines, nnd shall ask the benefit of schedule by schedule trratmnt of our. graina and live stock products as well. We do not want to be tried with those shoe fellows end 1 thought the partv which said equal rights to all and specla' privileges to none, would not.deny farme If and stockmen what you propose giving tT wool and steel people. " 7 "Toil can eliminate by smendm-nt pneats and cereals from the bill and redeef.i your Baltimore promise.'. Tou cannot refuse to do so without violating that pledge. Yoit can od this also without embarrassment aa defenders of other schedules have not to my knowledge asked separation." Representative Sloan spoke at consider able length, h's time being extended on several occasions, and he opposed most vigorously proposed free listing of meatj, because In point of value and volume this schedule most vitally affects his section of Nebraska, excepting of course grain and Its products. When Representative Sloan began his speech there were hardly a doson members on the floor, but by the time he got fairly maneo in nts criticism of the democrat he nan attracted the attention of the smoking room, the lobbies and Dress aal lery and throughout his analytical exposi tion of the farmers free list bill, he was accorded most generous applause. Inter spersed with laughter from his republican colleagues. Mr. Sloan, in all honesty, waa accorded better treatment than has fallen to any new member in this congress. General W. Blxby, chief of engineers, today transmitted a report to congress adverse to the csble and sand method for prtectlng the channel and banks of the Missouri river which Henry T. Clarke and others about Omaha wished to have tried on the river. The report states that the special board provided for bv th. , June . 1910. determined bv trial the prac ticability of the cable and sand plan for the protection of the channel and hanks of the Missouri river. It Investigated the question quit thoroughly, visited localities where this method of Improvement had bean tried, held public hearings at Omaha, to which had been invited all persons known to be Interested, and examined sev eral reports of the chief of engineers oon- (Contlnued on Second Page.)

WASHINGTON, May S The appeal of the government In, the so-called cotton corner Indictment against James A. Fatten, Kugene C. Scales, Frank B. Hayhes and William Brown was docketed today In the supreme court of the United States. The government Is aggrieved because Judge Noyes dismissed the "corner counts," In the Indictment. The Indictment was brought under the Sherman anti-trust law.

Patten, Brown, Hayes and Scales were charged by the government with leading the May cotton corner of 1910 on the New Vork Cotton exchange. It waa rumored at the time that these men had made between Sio.000.000 and $12,000,000 on their deals In May, July nnd August.

No one was killed,' but a few persons were wounded. The safe In the express car wa broken open and 4.0V1 peos taken. Later a freight running In the opposite direction was held up by a burning bridge.

Reporta q approaching trouble are still most plentiful, however. The rebels are admittedly stronger than they bava aver been before. But there la no good reason, says the Department of War for believing that they contemplate an Immediate attack on tha capital. Revolt Grow I war Rapidly. It Is possible than over-confident rebel leaders may believe that the capital can be taken with the few thousand men now within a day's rid a. But the government does not pay them the poor compliment of thinking they will try It. While realizing the growth of the revolt, residents of the capital are showing mora optimism today than for some tlma past.
