THE YOUNGSTOWN NEWS. VOL. XXII. ¥OUNGSTOWN, N. Y., FRIDAY. APRIL 10. 1903. THE PRESIDENT IN CHICAGO He Discusses Ihe Monroe Doctrine Before a Great Audience. WANTS A BIG NAVY BEHIND IT The University of Chicago Confers on Him the Degree of Lit..!).—During His Tour Through Wisconsin lie Speaks I on Trusts, and Commends the Recent F Anti-Trust Acts of Congress. |P Chicago, 111.—When President Roosevelt stepped from his special train he was received by Mayor Harrison and a I .special reception committee, not to | mention a huge crowd, which made its presence known by cheers which could be heard across the river. The program prepared for the President's fifteen hours' stay in this city provided for an immediate run to Evanston, seventeen miles to the northwest, a brief address there to the students of the Northwestern University; luncheon in the Auditorium Annex, a trip to the University of Chicago to receive the degree of Lij.D.; banquet in the Auditorium and a meeting in the evening, at which the President delivered one of the most significant addresses of his tour, on the Monroe Doctrine.After luncheon the start for the University of Chicago vas made in carriages. At the approach of the university grounds the party was met by the faculty and trustees in cap and gown, led by President Harper. A few minutes were spent in introductions, and the 250 professors escorted the President between files of 3000 students of the university and Morgan Park Academy to Kent Theatre, where President Harper conferred the degree of LL.D. After an informal dinner, at which 150 guests were present, the President proceeded to the Auditorium. Six thousand persons in a hall, the seating capacity of which is only 5000, gave enthusiastic greeting to President Roosevelt when he stepped upon the stage of the Auditorium. Even the passageways leading to the hall from the lower floor were jammed with hundreds who were unable to hear a President's address. He . said in pint-/ "There is a homely old adage which runs: 'Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.' If the American nation will speak softly, and yet build, and keep at a pitch of the highest training a thoroughly efficient navy, the Monroe Doctrine will go far. I ask j'ou to think over this. "In the last two years, I am happy to say, we have taken long strides in advance as regards our navy. The last Congress, in addition to smaller vessels, provided nine of those formidable lighting ships upon which the real efficiency of any navy in war ultimately depends. It provided, moreover, for the necessary addition of officers and enlisted men to make the ships worth having. Meanwhile the Navy Department has seen to it that our ships have J een constantly exercised at sea, with the great guns, and in maneuvres, so that their efficiency as fighting units, both indh idually and when acting together, has been steadily improved. "It is impossible to improvise a navy at the outset of war. No recent war between any two nations has lasted as long as it takes to build a battleship."To lay up a battleship and only send it afloat at the outset of a war with a raw crew and untried officers would be not merely a folly, but a crime, for it would invite both disaster and disgrace. "The navy which so quickly decided in our favor the war of 189S had been built and made efficient during the preceding fifteen years. "It is too late to prepare for war when war has come; and if we only prepare sufficiently no war will ever come. We wish a powerful and effivient navy, not for purposes of Avar, but as the surest guaranty of peace. "If we have such a navy—if we keep on building it up—we may rest assured that there is but the smallest chance that trouble will ever come to this nation; and we may likewise rest assured that no foreign power will ever quarrel with us about the Monroe Doctrine." Roosevelt in Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Wis.—President Roosevelt was the guest of the Milwaukee Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association at a banquet at the Plankinton House, the occasion being the climax of the President's ten-hour visit to Milwaukee. Covers were laid for 530. .After the banquet had been served the toastmaster introduced the President, who responded to the toast, "The President of the United States." The President gave his views on "trusts." President Roosevelt asserted his belief that remedies for trust evils can bo He reviewed what has been Bone by his Administration to compel Bbedience of laws governing trusts and Bie new legislation enacted by the Congress. This legislation he commended as wise. He counseled moderation in undertaking the regulation of great corporations, and pointed out the economic benefits of aggregated wealth when properly directed. He also highly praised Attorney-General Knox for his enforcement of the anti-trust laws. Madison, Wis.—Governor Lafollette and Mayor Groves, at the head of members of the Legislature, received the President here and escorted him to the Capitol. In the Assembly chamber he addressed the two houses in joint session and 700 suests. MR. ROOT ON THE TARIFF Secretary of War Denies the Present Need of Revision. l'rusts Cannot Ke Killed by Changes j,. Uutiep, He Holds, Without Widespread Hlgast Ji Boston. Mass.— Secretary of Wai Elihn Root was the principal speaker at the banquet of the Home Market Club. In his address he voiced the opposition to revision of the present tariff. A great deal of importance "was attached to his argument in the minds of members of the Home Market Club, inasmuch as it was assumed he spoke for the. Administration. Mr. Root spoke, in part, as follows: "Money is scarce in the money markets because all the millions of people all over the United States are using it. They've got it in ther pockets. They've got it in the little country banks. They've got it in the savings banks. They are buying thing-; with it. "The question of whether the tariff law shall be radically changed is not an academic question. There is no fetich in the tariff schedules and no sacredness in particular rates of duties, ft does not follow from the discovery of a defect in such a law that it should be immediately changed. Nothing could be more injurious to the inlustries of the country. The people should understand that a tariff law cannot be changed by piecemeal. There can be no such thing as partial revision."You cannot get rid of the trusts oy revising the tariff. If duties are lowered below the point of adequate protection, the independent manufacturer will go to the wall first; the trust will be the last one to go. "In determining when and how the process of tariff revision shall be unlertaken, two cardinal rules should be observed. First, it should be done jnly when Congress is as free as possible from the distractions and temptations of an active political campaign. The second rule to be followed is expressed by the oft-repeated saying that the tariff should be revised by its friends. If the American people wish the principle of protection to be maintained, then the political party svhich believes in protection should 3o the work of revision." Senator Lodge also spoke at the banjuet, discussing the tariff. Canadian reciprocity, and the Administration's policy in the Philippines. NEW SENATOR IN A FIGHT. Mr. Clarke of Arkansas and Representative Brundige Come to Bloivs. Little Rock. Ark.—United States Senator James P. Clarke and Representative Brundige met on the street when Mr. Brundige said: "How do you do. Senator?" holding out his hand at the same time. "I'll not shake hands with you," the Senator replied. "All right," remarked Mr. Brundige Indifferently. "What is this you have been doing?" Jemanded Mr. Clarke. "Being interviewed by the newspapers and meddling with things that don't concern J'OU." "I am your friend, sir," responded Mr. .Jrundige, "and I have not said anything that I would not have said to pou. I said I thought you had made a mistake, and say so now to you." Epithets were exchanged, Senator Clarke struck Mr. Brundige and a general mix-up took place. The cause of [lie trouble was the publication of an interview in which Mr. Brundige criti•ised the Senator for not accepting Senator Berry's offer to act as his escort when lie was sworn in as Senator J. K. Jones's successor. YOUNG COUPLE DIE TOGETHER. Took Carbolic Ackl in the Yard of Bridegroom's Unforjiivine Parents. Paterson, N. J.—Thomas Frederick Stothart and his bride of a few months silled themselves in the yard of the iome of Stothart's parents by drinking carbolic acid. The bride was formerly Louise Chusser, of New York 3ity. She and young Stothart were narried secretly against the wishes of Stothsrt's parents. It is thought that ;he young couple came here on a late a-ain from New York City intending to isk forgiveness. Their courage must have failed them and they decided to sill themselves. When County Physician Mcßride called at the Stothart home to make mi investigation, the family at first disowned knowledge of the girl's identity, but finally admitted the facts. When asked for the marriage certificate that liad been sent to her by her son, Mrs. Stothart said that, in a fit of anger, she had burned it in the kitchen range CONFESSED TO MURDER.

PRESIDENT IN ENGINE CUB Views ihe Pennsv'vania Horseshoe Curve Wiih Grimy Trainmen. FIRST SPEECH AT HARRiSBURG ICoosevelt Praises the Report of the Coal Strike Commission—The Good-Byes at Washijintdu — German Envoy Among Those Who Saw Him Start on liil Two-Months' Trip—His Engine Hide. Pittsburg, Ta. — President Roosevelt viewed the scenery around the famous Horseshoe Curve from a seat in the cab of a locomotive attached to his special train, and after a ride of about fifty mile 3 expressed himself as delighted with his experience. When his special reached Altoona the President alighted from his car and walked rapidly to the front of the train. Two engines were couplcd to it, ready to pull the heavy cars over the Alleghany Mountains, and the President shook hands with the crews of each. He then climbed into the cab of the rear engine, No. 2408. In the cab with him were Secretary Loeb, Trainmaster A. Keiser, Special Engineer Robert McLaren, the regular engineer, H. T. McCormick and Fireman H. W. Hunter. As he took his seat the President remarked that, being a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, he thought he ought to take his turn at feeding the furnace, but lie did not do so. When Gallitzen, at the crest of the mountains, was reached, the front locomotive was detached from the train and the run to Seward was made with one engine. Here the President climbed down from his lofty seat, and after shaking hands with the engineers and firemen, went back to his car, rather dusty and grimy, but enthusiastic over his novel ride. Outside of his ride on the engine the President passed an uneventful day, devoting a large portion of it to reading.Brief stops were made at Baltimore, Harrisburg and Altoona; but only at Harrisburg did the President make a speech. A large crowd met his train at Harrisburg, and although no speecli was scheduled for this place, Mr. Roosevelt appeared on the rear platform of his car and delivered a short address, which was received with many cheers. He was greeted by a great crowd, including the members of the Pennsylvania Legislature and city officials. Senator Focht, of Union, on behalf of the Senate, presented greetings to the President. Senator Focht expressed regret that they were unable to welcome him at the Capitol, but were glad to welcome him in the shadow of Zion Lutheran Church, where the first Harrison was nominated for the Presidency.The President showed evidence of surprise at the reception. He spoke for more than five minutes, saying: "I am very greatly touched and pleased by this greeting—a wholly unexpected one. I had not supposed that my speechmaking vould begin before to-morrow. There is not much for me to say to you. I feel rather when I come here like sitting at the feet of Gamaliel and learning. "The prosperity in which you of this State, you of this city, have so abundantly shared must come primarily from two sources—the individual skill and efficiency of the individual man, capitalist, or wageworker, working for himself as a foundation, but with upon it the superstructure of the men who. working not merely for themselves, but for one another. "The President of the Senate was kind enough to speak of what has been done for the wageworker, and therefore the citizens as a whole, in this State. I go away from Washington with a light heart, very largely because of the admirable work done by the gentlemen on the Anthracite Strike Commission. And surely no publication by any association designed purely to teach a moral lesson to our peoplecan be better worth scanning and learning than the document containing the conclusions of those men, and if as a people we will take to heart the lessons taught therein it will be the bettei for all of us. "Fundamentally our interests are the same. Fundamentally you hurt or help some of our people and inevitably you hurt or help others. Fundamentally the most important lesson to be learned in our National life is the lesson of our solidarity of interests, and that every man of us, if he is fit to >e a citizen of this Republic, must pull his own weight and must also do his best to help his brother at the same time." Departure From Washington. Washington, D. C.—With an enthusi astic farewell to the German Envoy and a facetious warning to Secretary Cortelyou to beware of the trusts, the President set off in high spirits for his two months' swinging around the circle. The special train left at 9.05, but the President was there and waiting for it ten minutes ahead of time. He found Secretaries Wilson, Hitchcock and Cortelyou there. Baron Speck von Sternburg also came to say good-bye to him. The train pulled out, followed by the cheers of a small crowd of people, who waved their handkerchiefs at the President and the other members of the party. There were several city detectives in the crowd, and on the train were four Secret Service men. Prominent Merchant a Suicide. Despondent because of ill-health, r ancis T.

(Severe Fighting at Mitrovitza, in Wltlcfi flte Rebels Were Repulsed—The Sultan Greatly Alarmed. Vienna.—The rebellion in Macedonia is considered to have begun already, and the situation is expected to become worse. The Albanian movement is regarded as specially dangerous, because the Sultan will hardly dare to suppress it. he being surrounded by Albanian guards at the Yildiz Kiosk. It is therefore thought that the reform plan will remain a dead letter in Old Servin. The report is confirmed that M. Stcherbina, +he Russian Consul in Mitrovltza, was shot in the back by Albanian soldiers. It is estimated there are 20,000 Albanians under arms, and a general rising would lie extremely serious.Salonica. European Turkey.—Special trains with troops on board proceeded from Monastir and other places to Vucsteen, where severe fighting recently occurred. It is reported here that there were 200 casualties. Sixteen battalions of Anatolian Redifs have been ordered to Salonica. Constantinople.—Details of the disturbances in North Albania show that the revolt which has broken out there against the reform scheme of the Powers is serious. Several thousand armed Albanians surrounded the town of Vucsteen, on the Mitrovitza-Uskub Railroad. and demanded the surrender of eleven Servian gendarmes who lind been enlisted in agreement with the reform plans. The Governor surrendered the Servians, who were bound and taken to Pristina. after having been maltreated. A large number of the Servian inhabitants and bands of Albanians later surrounded Mitrovitza and serious fighting ensued with the Turkish garrison, consisting of 3000 troops. The fighting continued for two days, when the Albanians finally were renulsed with great loss. The Albanian rising has caused a panic amonff the Christians of Old Servia. In Prilep. in consequence of the growing fanaticism of the Albanians, the Christians have closed their shops and schools and are preparing to seek refuge at Monastir. Many Christians have been murdered in the Prilep district in the last few days. The outbreak made a great impression at the Palace. The Sultan was intensely exercised, and measures were immediately taken to watch the two Albanian battalions belonging to' the Imperial Guard, on duty at the Yildiz Kiosk, in order to prevent disorder in the Palace. The Grand Vizier called on the Russian Ambassador to express regret for the attack on M. Stcherbina, the Russian Consul-General in Mitrovitza. The Palace and the Foreign Office also conveyed their regrets to the Ambassador. The Sultan's Albanian body guard is jubilant at the attack on Mitrovitza. RAILWAY MEN MAY STRIKE. Judge Adams Dissolves the Injunction Granted to the Wabash Road. St. Louis, Mo.—Judge Elmer B. Adams, of the United States District Court, dissolved the temporary injunction which he issued on March 3 at the instance of the Wabash Railway Comnany restraining the Brotherhoods of Railway Trainmen and Firemen from ordering a strike on that system. Thus the Wabash employes have won a big victory. The keynote for an amicable settlement was sounded by Judge Adams himself in handing down his decision. He said: "I cannot conclude this opinion without expressing the sincere wish of the Court that if the parties are unable to adjust their differences by such mutual concessions as are necessary to that end the offer made in open court by defendants' counsel to submit the question in dispute to the Board of Arbitration, provided for by the Act of Congress of 1898, will be speedily accepted and another instance of a rational anl intelligent adjustment of a business diacuity be exhibited to an expectant public." Judge Adams' decision, which contained more than 7000 words, occupied forty minute; in its delivery. Judge Adams announced that his court would be in session and retain jurisdiction of the case, if desired, so that in the event of any interference with interstate commerce or the mail service all its lawful powers might be invoked. MASSACRE BY TURKS. Macedonian Committees Report a ATholfe "Village "Wiped Out. Sofia.—The Macedonian committees report a fight, which they represent as a massacre near Istib. They say that Turkish troops attacked a band of thirty revolutionists in the village of Abalitche. They surrounded the village, razed every house with artillery and massacred all the inhabitants;, without distinction. Nevertheless, according to the report, they themselves lost more than the insurgents.Honduras Battles Won by Treachery. Fuller details of the capture of Puerto Cortez and San Pedro in Honduras by the Revolutionists give some interesting stories of the revolution tnere. Puerto Cortez and San Pedro both fell through treachery, the troops mutinying and killing their superior officers. The Revolutionists had been working among the garrison at Puerto Cortez and had won ®?er most of the men when General Mulla, reyresefiimg the Bonilla forces. aoDeared. VERDICT IN BURDICK CASE Judge Murphy Virtually Accuses Arthur R, Penned. HE HAD MOTIVE FOR MURDER The Verdict Softened Somewhat by Say. ing Pennell, If Alive, Should Be Presumed Innocent Until Proved Guilty- Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Burdick Blamed l»y Judge—All Others Exonerated. Buffalo, N. Y.—Police Judge Thomas Murphy handed down his decision in the Burdick murder inquest. White stating that the inquest had failed to prove the identity of the murderer the decision in referring to Arthur R. Pennell declared: "Altogether the facts would in my opinion constitute jus*t ground for suspicion on which a warran could be issued were he alive." The evidence against Pennell was summed up by Judge Murphy as follows:"Where is the motive for this awful crime? "Mrs. Burdick loved Pennell and he apparently became infatuated with her. A few years ago Burdick learned the truth. A separation ensued. Because of love for his children, however, he took back his wife at that time and forgave the author of his wrong upon his promise to leave Buffalo. This promise and the promise which Mrs. Burdick made to her husband were shamelessly broken. Mr. Burdick finally told her that she must leave his house. "This was in vue early days of last December, and immediately thereafter lie applied for a divorce. She was constrained to defend the suit by Pennell and issue would be joined in a very short time. Burdick had. which fact was known to Pennell, a batch of letters written by Pennell to Mrs. Burdick of such a gushing, lovesick, importuning nature that their publication meant complete humiliation and social ruin to their author. His, of all others, was the motive strong enough to incite a desperate mind already steeped in wrongdoing to so foul and cruel a murder. "Did lie do it? He returned from the dead man's wife the day before the murder. He was here that night. He was very much excited the next morning. and purchased a revolver. In one of his letters to Mrs. Burdick there is' an express threat that he would kill her husband. The cashier and the bartender of a New York hotel have testified that he said he would kill a certain man. His wife had written Burdick a warning letter. Altogether these facts would, in my opinion, constitute .iust ground for suspicion on which a warrant could be issued were he alive. "That would, not mean, however, that he was guilty. He can never be placed on trial here, nor his case ever bejudicially determined. Let us be fair, then, to the dead as the law presumes us to be to the living. 1-Ie must be presumed innocent.until proved guilty." Regarding Burdick the decision had this to say: "The theory that Burdick had a woman guest in his "den' that night has not been sustained by thy evidence. It has not disclosed a single immoral act on his part. It portrays him as a loving father and a more than magnanimous and forgiving husband." Mrs. Paine and Miss Marion Hutchinson, whose names have figured in the investigation, are exonerated in the opinion. Regarding Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Burdick. Judge Murphy wrote: "The actions of Mrs. Hull on that morning are inconsistent with a perfect want of knowledge of what had actually occurred. So little apparent feeling for the dead man. such an evident desire to cover up the crime and no disposition whatever to aid the authorities may be explainable, but has not been explained. The opening oi' the window from the inside would indicate a desire on the part of some one to give this crime the appearance of a burglar's work. It is our duty to censure Mrs. Burdick, but great as her wrong has been, great is her punishment."While friends of Pennell criticise Judge Murphy's findings, the verdict has met with the warmest approval of disinterested citizens generally. The police say that they will continue to search for further evidence. District Attorney Ooatsworth said: "Judge Murphy's findings are well borne out by the testimony. I will not present the evidence to the Grand Jury." DR. CRUM TAKES OFFICE. Colored Man Assumes Charge of thft Charleston Custom House. Charleston, S. C.—W. D. Crura has taken charge of the Custom House as Collector of the Port. The Chief Inspector of Customs immediately resigned. There has been ?;eine talk here of possible application to the courts for a restraining order against Crum's exercise of the duties of his office. It is said the feasibility of such action iias been brough tto the notice of the Mayor, and it is raid lie has referred it to the Corporation Counsel for consideration and will report, but it is not thought anything will be done about it. Arkansas Negro Lynched. Frank Robertson, a negro, has been lynched at Bradley, Ark. Robertson was in jail. He confessed to the crime of arson. A party of twentyfive men rode into Bradley, overpow•ed the jailor, took possession of the •*ero and rode away with nit been iSH four Repulß nine against it. ThUB licans present, Treat, who did nqgfl lican was ill at been previously p^| and was sent to his signature. He warded it to AttornSH ueen, for inspection as the request that it be renJH Executive Chamber at the sible moment. Governor that it had been estimated measure should become a law the SH would receive an additional amounting to $5,000,000 yearly. If tmi| estimate is correct the Governor will once more be able to point tc a virtual abolition of direct State taxation, for the indirect revenues now amount to $17,000,000 yearly, and the addition of $5,000,000 to them will consequently bring up the total revenue of the State to $22,000,000, which is within $1,000,- 000 of the amount of money usually appropriated yearly for the support of the State Government. It is probable, therefore, that even if no more taxation bills are passed this year by the Legislature, the direct State tax this year will be a small one. The bill increases the cost of a liquor tax certificate fifty per cent, throughout the State. In the Borough of Manhattan, Greater New York, the cost of a liquor tax certificate is advanced from $800 to $1200, and a similar fifty per cent, advance in the cost of a liquor tax certificate is madt in other boroughs. Pin Money For State Indians. The Interior Department is making active preparations to pay $1,998,744 to the Six Nations Indians of New York State, awarded to them by Conpress three years ago, as the result of their famous Kansas land claim against the United States Government. The Indians who will receive the money number about 6000, and are included in the Onondagas. Oneidas, Cayugas, Senecas, St. Regis, Tuscaroras, Stockbridges, Musees and Brothertowns tribes. Each individual will receive approximately $300, and the money will be paid by check to prevent frauds. Dies in His 100th Year. Edwin Stud well, widely known in thb Harlem Valley as "Salem's centenarian," died at his home, in South Salem, after an illness of several weeks. His death was due to old age. He was born near Salem November 6, 1803, and until his last illness had looked forward with keen interest to his one hundredth birthday. Until recently his mind had been clear, his hearing and eyesight good, and he had enjoyed remarkably good general health. Ho was a farmer and attributed his long years to his outdoor life and regular habits. $4000 For a Bull Calf. The highest price ever paid for 't calf. $4000, has Just beef paid by Henry Stevens, of Liac/nn. to the Brotheriown stock farm of Oriskany a bull calr. Its dam is Sadie world's official champion butter cow. and its sire is Beryl Wavne, whose dam has an official record of twenty-seven pounds four ounces of butter in seven days. If blood and actual performance officially ascertained and determined tell, it is far and away the most promising Holstein-Freislen bull calf living today.Many Consumptive Convicts. One-fourth of the population of tlit Clinton State Prison at Dannemora. are consumptive. This statement was made by Dr. J. B. Ransom, a physician at the institution, in an argument submitted to the Ways and Means Committee of the Assembly, at Albany, in favor of the bill making an appropriation for the construction of a building at the prison for tlip care of prisoners thus afflicted. There are 200 tubercular inmates of the institution, of Avhom 195 were transferred from other institutions. Increase In Corporations. The great increase in the number o. new corporations being formed in this State has practically resulted In doubling the receipts of the Secretary of State's office in recenc years.

WANTS A BIG NAVY BEHIND IT The University of Chicago Confers on Him the Degree of Lit..!).—During His Tour Through Wisconsin lie Speaks I on Trusts, and Commends the Recent F Anti-Trust Acts of Congress. P Chicago, 111.—When President Roosevelt stepped from his special train he was received by Mayor Harrison and a I .special reception committee, not to mention a huge crowd, which made its presence known by cheers which could be heard across the river. The program prepared for the President's fifteen hours' stay in this city provided for an immediate run to Evanston, seventeen miles to the northwest, a brief address there to the students of the Northwestern University; luncheon in the Auditorium Annex, a trip to the University of Chicago to receive the degree of Lij.D.; banquet in the Auditorium and a meeting in the evening, at which the President delivered one of the most significant addresses of his tour, on the Monroe Doctrine.After luncheon the start for the University of Chicago vas made in carriages. At the approach of the university grounds the party was met by the faculty and trustees in cap and gown, led by President Harper. A few minutes were spent in introductions, and the 250 professors escorted the President between files of 3000 students of the university and Morgan Park Academy to Kent Theatre, where President Harper conferred the degree of LL.D. After an informal dinner, at which 150 guests were present, the President proceeded to the Auditorium. Six thousand persons in a hall, the seating capacity of which is only 5000, gave enthusiastic greeting to President Roosevelt when he stepped upon the stage of the Auditorium. Even the passageways leading to the hall from the lower floor were jammed with hundreds who were unable to hear a President's address. He . said in pint-/ "There is a homely old adage which runs: 'Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.'

No recent war between any two nations has lasted as long as it takes to build a battleship."To lay up a battleship and only send it afloat at the outset of a war with a raw crew and untried officers would be not merely a folly, but a crime, for it would invite both disaster and disgrace. "The navy which so quickly decided in our favor the war of 189S had been built and made efficient during the preceding fifteen years. "It is too late to prepare for war when war has come; and if we only prepare sufficiently no war will ever come. We wish a powerful and effivient navy, not for purposes of Avar, but as the surest guaranty of peace. "If we have such a navy—if we keep on building it up—we may rest assured that there is but the smallest chance that trouble will ever come to this nation; and we may likewise rest assured that no foreign power will ever quarrel with us about the Monroe Doctrine."

ROOT ON THE TARIFF Secretary of War Denies the Present Need of Revision. l'rusts Cannot Ke Killed by Changes j,. Uutiep, He Holds, Without Widespread Hlgast Ji Boston. Mass.— Secretary of Wai Elihn Root was the principal speaker at the banquet of the Home Market Club. In his address he voiced the opposition to revision of the present tariff. A great deal of importance "was attached to his argument in the minds of members of the Home Market Club, inasmuch as it was assumed he spoke for the. Administration. Mr. Root spoke, in part, as follows: "Money is scarce in the money markets because all the millions of people all over the United States are using it. They've got it in ther pockets. They've got it in the little country banks. They've got it in the savings banks. They are buying thing-; with it. "The question of whether the tariff law shall be radically changed is not an academic question. There is no fetich in the tariff schedules and no sacredness in particular rates of duties, ft does not follow from the discovery of a defect in such a law that it should be immediately changed. Nothing could be more injurious to the inlustries of the country. The people should understand that a tariff law cannot be changed by piecemeal. There can be no such thing as partial revision."You cannot get rid of the trusts oy revising the tariff. If duties are lowered below the point of adequate protection, the independent manufacturer will go to the wall first; the trust will be the last one to go. "In determining when and how the process of tariff revision shall be unlertaken, two cardinal rules should be observed. First, it should be done jnly when Congress is as free as possible from the distractions and temptations of an active political campaign. The second rule to be followed is expressed by the oft-repeated saying that the tariff should be revised by its friends. If the American people wish the principle of protection to be maintained, then the political party svhich believes in protection should 3o the work of revision." Senator Lodge also spoke at the banjuet, discussing the tariff. Canadian reciprocity, and the Administration's policy in the Philippines. NEW SENATOR IN A FIGHT. Mr. Clarke of Arkansas and Representative Brundige Come to Bloivs. Little Rock. Ark.—United States Senator James P. Clarke and Representative Brundige met on the street when Mr. Brundige said: "How do you do. Senator?" holding out his hand at the same time. "I'll not shake hands with you" the Senator replied. "All right" remarked Mr. Brundige Indifferently. "What is this you have been doing?" Jemanded Mr. Clarke. "Being interviewed by the newspapers and meddling with things that don't concern J'OU." "I am your friend, sir" responded Mr. .Jrundige, "and I have not said anything that I would not have said to pou. I said I thought you had made a mistake, and say so now to you." Epithets were exchanged, Senator Clarke struck Mr. Brundige and a general mix-up took place. The cause of [lie trouble was the publication of an interview in which Mr. Brundige criti•ised the Senator for not accepting Senator Berry's offer to act as his escort when lie was sworn in as Senator J. K. Jones's successor. YOUNG COUPLE DIE TOGETHER. Took Carbolic Ackl in the Yard of Bridegroom's Unforjiivine Parents. Paterson, N. J.—Thomas Frederick Stothart and his bride of a few months silled themselves in the yard of the iome of Stothart's parents by drinking carbolic acid.

PRESIDENT IN ENGINE CUB Views ihe Pennsv'vania Horseshoe Curve Wiih Grimy Trainmen. FIRST SPEECH AT HARRiSBURG ICoosevelt Praises the Report of the Coal Strike Commission—The Good-Byes at Washijintdu — German Envoy Among Those Who Saw Him Start on liil Two-Months' Trip—His Engine Hide. Pittsburg, Ta. — President Roosevelt viewed the scenery around the famous Horseshoe Curve from a seat in the cab of a locomotive attached to his special train, and after a ride of about fifty mile 3 expressed himself as delighted with his experience. When his special reached Altoona the President alighted from his car and walked rapidly to the front of the train. Two engines were couplcd to it, ready to pull the heavy cars over the Alleghany Mountains, and the President shook hands with the crews of each. He then climbed into the cab of the rear engine, No. 2408. In the cab with him were Secretary Loeb, Trainmaster A. Keiser, Special Engineer Robert McLaren, the regular engineer, H. T. McCormick and Fireman H. W. Hunter. As he took his seat the President remarked that, being a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, he thought he ought to take his turn at feeding the furnace, but lie did not do so. When Gallitzen, at the crest of the mountains, was reached, the front locomotive was detached from the train and the run to Seward was made with one engine. Here the President climbed down from his lofty seat, and after shaking hands with the engineers and firemen, went back to his car, rather dusty and grimy, but enthusiastic over his novel ride. Outside of his ride on the engine the President passed an uneventful day, devoting a large portion of it to reading.Brief stops were made at Baltimore, Harrisburg and Altoona; but only at Harrisburg did the President make a speech. A large crowd met his train at Harrisburg, and although no speecli was scheduled for this place, Mr. Roosevelt appeared on the rear platform of his car and delivered a short address, which was received with many cheers. He was greeted by a great crowd, including the members of the Pennsylvania Legislature and city officials. Senator Focht, of Union, on behalf of the Senate, presented greetings to the President. Senator Focht expressed regret that they were unable to welcome him at the Capitol, but were glad to welcome him in the shadow of Zion Lutheran Church, where the first Harrison was nominated for the Presidency.The President showed evidence of surprise at the reception. He spoke for more than five minutes, saying: "I am very greatly touched and pleased by this greeting—a wholly unexpected one. I had not supposed that my speechmaking vould begin before to-morrow. There is not much for me to say to you. I feel rather when I come here like sitting at the feet of Gamaliel and learning. "The prosperity in which you of this State, you of this city, have so abundantly shared must come primarily from two sources—the individual skill and efficiency of the individual man, capitalist, or wageworker, working for himself as a foundation, but with upon it the superstructure of the men who. working not merely for themselves, but for one another. "The President of the Senate was kind enough to speak of what has been done for the wageworker, and therefore the citizens as a whole, in this State. I go away from Washington with a light heart, very largely because of the admirable work done by the gentlemen on the Anthracite Strike Commission. And surely no publication by any association designed purely to teach a moral lesson to our peoplecan be better worth scanning and learning than the document containing the conclusions of those men, and if as a people we will take to heart the lessons taught therein it will be the bettei for all of us. "Fundamentally our interests are the same. Fundamentally you hurt or help some of our people and inevitably you hurt or help others. Fundamentally the most important lesson to be learned in our National life is the lesson of our solidarity of interests, and that every man of us, if he is fit to >e a citizen of this Republic, must pull his own weight and must also do his best to help his brother at the same time." Departure From Washington. Washington, D. C.—With an enthusi astic farewell to the German Envoy and a facetious warning to Secretary Cortelyou to beware of the trusts, the President set off in high spirits for his two months' swinging around the circle. The special train left at 9.05, but the President was there and waiting for it ten minutes ahead of time. He found Secretaries Wilson, Hitchcock and Cortelyou there. Baron Speck von Sternburg also came to say good-bye to him. The train pulled out, followed by the cheers of a small crowd of people, who waved their handkerchiefs at the President and the other members of the party. There were several city detectives in the crowd, and on the train were four Secret Service men. Prominent Merchant a Suicide. Despondent because of ill-health, r ancis T.

(Severe Fighting at Mitrovitza, in Wltlcfi flte Rebels Were Repulsed—The Sultan Greatly Alarmed. Vienna.—The rebellion in Macedonia is considered to have begun already, and the situation is expected to become worse. The Albanian movement is regarded as specially dangerous, because the Sultan will hardly dare to suppress it. he being surrounded by Albanian guards at the Yildiz Kiosk. It is therefore thought that the reform plan will remain a dead letter in Old Servin. The report is confirmed that M. Stcherbina, +he Russian Consul in Mitrovltza, was shot in the back by Albanian soldiers. It is estimated there are 20,000 Albanians under arms, and a general rising would lie extremely serious.Salonica. European Turkey.—Special trains with troops on board proceeded from Monastir and other places to Vucsteen, where severe fighting recently occurred. It is reported here that there were 200 casualties. Sixteen battalions of Anatolian Redifs have been ordered to Salonica. Constantinople.—Details of the disturbances in North Albania show that the revolt which has broken out there against the reform scheme of the Powers is serious. Several thousand armed Albanians surrounded the town of Vucsteen, on the Mitrovitza-Uskub Railroad. and demanded the surrender of eleven Servian gendarmes who lind been enlisted in agreement with the reform plans. The Governor surrendered the Servians, who were bound and taken to Pristina. after having been maltreated. A large number of the Servian inhabitants and bands of Albanians later surrounded Mitrovitza and serious fighting ensued with the Turkish garrison, consisting of 3000 troops. The fighting continued for two days, when the Albanians finally were renulsed with great loss. The Albanian rising has caused a panic amonff the Christians of Old Servia. In Prilep. in consequence of the growing fanaticism of the Albanians, the Christians have closed their shops and schools and are preparing to seek refuge at Monastir. Many Christians have been murdered in the Prilep district in the last few days. The outbreak made a great impression at the Palace. The Sultan was intensely exercised, and measures were immediately taken to watch the two Albanian battalions belonging to' the Imperial Guard, on duty at the Yildiz Kiosk, in order to prevent disorder in the Palace. The Grand Vizier called on the Russian Ambassador to express regret for the attack on M. Stcherbina, the Russian Consul-General in Mitrovitza. The Palace and the Foreign Office also conveyed their regrets to the Ambassador. The Sultan's Albanian body guard is jubilant at the attack on Mitrovitza. RAILWAY MEN MAY STRIKE. Judge Adams Dissolves the Injunction Granted to the Wabash Road. St. Louis, Mo.—Judge Elmer B. Adams, of the United States District Court, dissolved the temporary injunction which he issued on March 3 at the instance of the Wabash Railway Comnany restraining the Brotherhoods of Railway Trainmen and Firemen from ordering a strike on that system. Thus the Wabash employes have won a big victory. The keynote for an amicable settlement was sounded by Judge Adams himself in handing down his decision. He said: "I cannot conclude this opinion without expressing the sincere wish of the Court that if the parties are unable to adjust their differences by such mutual concessions as are necessary to that end the offer made in open court by defendants' counsel to submit the question in dispute to the Board of Arbitration, provided for by the Act of Congress of 1898, will be speedily accepted and another instance of a rational anl intelligent adjustment of a business diacuity be exhibited to an expectant public." Judge Adams' decision, which contained more than 7000 words, occupied forty minute; in its delivery. Judge Adams announced that his court would be in session and retain jurisdiction of the case, if desired, so that in the event of any interference with interstate commerce or the mail service all its lawful powers might be invoked.

VERDICT IN BURDICK CASE Judge Murphy Virtually Accuses Arthur R, Penned. HE HAD MOTIVE FOR MURDER The Verdict Softened Somewhat by Say. ing Pennell, If Alive, Should Be Presumed Innocent Until Proved Guilty- Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Burdick Blamed l»y Judge—All Others Exonerated. Buffalo, N. Y.—Police Judge Thomas Murphy handed down his decision in the Burdick murder inquest. White stating that the inquest had failed to prove the identity of the murderer the decision in referring to Arthur R. Pennell declared: "Altogether the facts would in my opinion constitute jus*t ground for suspicion on which a warran could be issued were he alive." The evidence against Pennell was summed up by Judge Murphy as follows:"Where is the motive for this awful crime? "Mrs. Burdick loved Pennell and he apparently became infatuated with her. A few years ago Burdick learned the truth. A separation ensued. Because of love for his children, however, he took back his wife at that time and forgave the author of his wrong upon his promise to leave Buffalo. This promise and the promise which Mrs. Burdick made to her husband were shamelessly broken. Mr. Burdick finally told her that she must leave his house. "This was in vue early days of last December, and immediately thereafter lie applied for a divorce. She was constrained to defend the suit by Pennell and issue would be joined in a very short time. Burdick had. which fact was known to Pennell, a batch of letters written by Pennell to Mrs. Burdick of such a gushing, lovesick, importuning nature that their publication meant complete humiliation and social ruin to their author. His, of all others, was the motive strong enough to incite a desperate mind already steeped in wrongdoing to so foul and cruel a murder. "Did lie do it? He returned from the dead man's wife the day before the murder. He was here that night. He was very much excited the next morning. and purchased a revolver. In one of his letters to Mrs. Burdick there is' an express threat that he would kill her husband. The cashier and the bartender of a New York hotel have testified that he said he would kill a certain man. His wife had written Burdick a warning letter. Altogether these facts would, in my opinion, constitute .iust ground for suspicion on which a warrant could be issued were he alive. "That would, not mean, however, that he was guilty. He can never be placed on trial here, nor his case ever bejudicially determined. Let us be fair, then, to the dead as the law presumes us to be to the living. 1-Ie must be presumed innocent.until proved guilty." Regarding Burdick the decision had this to say: "The theory that Burdick had a woman guest in his "den' that night has not been sustained by thy evidence. It has not disclosed a single immoral act on his part. It portrays him as a loving father and a more than magnanimous and forgiving husband." Mrs. Paine and Miss Marion Hutchinson, whose names have figured in the investigation, are exonerated in the opinion. Regarding Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Burdick. Judge Murphy wrote: "The actions of Mrs. Hull on that morning are inconsistent with a perfect want of knowledge of what had actually occurred. So little apparent feeling for the dead man. such an evident desire to cover up the crime and no disposition whatever to aid the authorities may be explainable, but has not been explained. The opening oi' the window from the inside would indicate a desire on the part of some one to give this crime the appearance of a burglar's work. It is our duty to censure Mrs. Burdick, but great as her wrong has been, great is her punishment."While friends of Pennell criticise Judge Murphy's findings, the verdict has met with the warmest approval of disinterested citizens generally. The police say that they will continue to search for further evidence. District Attorney Ooatsworth said: "Judge Murphy's findings are well borne out by the testimony. I will not present the evidence to the Grand Jury." DR. CRUM TAKES OFFICE. Colored Man Assumes Charge of thft Charleston Custom House. Charleston, S. C.—W. D. Crura has taken charge of the Custom House as Collector of the Port. The Chief Inspector of Customs immediately resigned. There has been ?;eine talk here of possible application to the courts for a restraining order against Crum's exercise of the duties of his office. It is said the feasibility of such action iias been brough tto the notice of the Mayor, and it is raid lie has referred it to the Corporation Counsel for consideration and will report, but it is not thought anything will be done about it. Arkansas Negro Lynched. Frank Robertson, a negro, has been lynched at Bradley, Ark. Robertson was in jail. He confessed to the crime of arson. A party of twentyfive men rode into Bradley, overpow•ed the jailor, took possession of the •*ero and rode away with nit been iSH four Repulß nine against it. ThUB licans present, Treat, who did nqgfl lican was ill at been previously p^ and was sent to his signature. He warded it to AttornSH ueen, for inspection as the request that it be renJH Executive Chamber at the sible moment. Governor that it had been estimated measure should become a law the SH would receive an additional amounting to $5,000,000 yearly. If tmi estimate is correct the Governor will once more be able to point tc a virtual abolition of direct State taxation, for the indirect revenues now amount to $17,000,000 yearly, and the addition of $5,000,000 to them will consequently bring up the total revenue of the State to $22,000,000, which is within $1,000,- 000 of the amount of money usually appropriated yearly for the support of the State Government. It is probable, therefore, that even if no more taxation bills are passed this year by the Legislature, the direct State tax this year will be a small one. The bill increases the cost of a liquor tax certificate fifty per cent, throughout the State. In the Borough of Manhattan, Greater New York, the cost of a liquor tax certificate is advanced from $800 to $1200, and a similar fifty per cent, advance in the cost of a liquor tax certificate is madt in other boroughs. Pin Money For State Indians. The Interior Department is making active preparations to pay $1,998,744 to the Six Nations Indians of New York State, awarded to them by Conpress three years ago, as the result of their famous Kansas land claim against the United States Government. The Indians who will receive the money number about 6000, and are included in the Onondagas. Oneidas, Cayugas, Senecas, St. Regis, Tuscaroras, Stockbridges, Musees and Brothertowns tribes. Each individual will receive approximately $300, and the money will be paid by check to prevent frauds. Dies in His 100th Year. Edwin Stud well, widely known in thb Harlem Valley as "Salem's centenarian" died at his home, in South Salem, after an illness of several weeks. His death was due to old age. He was born near Salem November 6, 1803, and until his last illness had looked forward with keen interest to his one hundredth birthday. Until recently his mind had been clear, his hearing and eyesight good, and he had enjoyed remarkably good general health. Ho was a farmer and attributed his long years to his outdoor life and regular habits. $4000 For a Bull Calf. The highest price ever paid for 't calf. $4000, has Just beef paid by Henry Stevens, of Liac/nn. to the Brotheriown stock farm of Oriskany a bull calr. Its dam is Sadie world's official champion butter cow. and its sire is Beryl Wavne, whose dam has an official record of twenty-seven pounds four ounces of butter in seven days. If blood and actual performance officially ascertained and determined tell, it is far and away the most promising Holstein-Freislen bull calf living today.Many Consumptive Convicts. One-fourth of the population of tlit Clinton State Prison at Dannemora. are consumptive. This statement was made by Dr. J. B. Ransom, a physician at the institution, in an argument submitted to the Ways and Means Committee of the Assembly, at Albany, in favor of the bill making an appropriation for the construction of a building at the prison for tlip care of prisoners thus afflicted. There are 200 tubercular inmates of the institution, of Avhom 195 were transferred from other institutions. Increase In Corporations. The great increase in the number o. new corporations being formed in this State has practically resulted In doubling the receipts of the Secretary of State's office in recenc years. For the quarter ended March 31 the net earnings of the department for certified copies of corporation papers and other office records, aggregated $21,961, as compared with earnings of $19,477 last year and $13,574 in 1001. New Oil Field in Sleuben County. A promising rew oil field has been opened near Rexville, in Steuben. County, just over the Allegany County border. Tracy & Co., of Andover, completed a well a few days ago that is flowing twenty-five barrels •& day, and the entire section of the country is now under lease and many wells will be drilled at once.
