AMID A SALVO OF CHEERS The President Pays a Tribute to Or ganized Labor. H HAS ASKED NOTHING UNREASONABLE This the President Says of Its Demands on Himself. Acting Grand°Master Han** raban Wires Roosevelt That He Helps Labor’s Cause. (By the Associated Press.) Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 8. —President Roosevelt today was elected an honorary member of the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Firemen. He attended the executive session of the order in the morning, walking from the hotel to the auditorium, a distance of a few blocks, escorted ty Grand Master Sargent, a committee of the Brotherhood and a detachment of Troop K. State Guard. Tiie Brotherhood first held its execu tive session, which the President attend ed. Acting Grand Master Hannahan wired the President, stating that his at tendance at the convention will do great good to organized labor, not only in this country, but in Canada and other coun tries as W'ell. The President returned his thanks for the welcome and said he was glad to be with the Brotherhood. He said the Firemen's Brotherhood was the result which naturally comes from the applica tion of the principle of common sense to their work. He said that organized la bor never had made an unreasonable re quest of him, and that if it had he would have denied it. In speaking of the an pointment of Grand Master Sargent of the BHo|h<»rhooid tto be Commissioner General or Immigration, the President said it was one of the mosc satisfactory appointments to him and to the public he ever made; that Mr. Sargent has a hard body and not a soft head. John F. McNStnee, of Columbus, Ohio, one of the Grand officers and a Demo cratic member of the Legislature, moved that the degree of grand honorary mem bership be conferred upon President Roosevelt. This motion was referred to the Committee on Constitution and By- Laws, whose recommendation was unani mous that the mot'er be accepted. The report of the committee was adopted unanimously by a rising vote amid cheers. The President thanked the convention for the compliment paid him, and Grand Master Sargent then gave him a pass, which admits him to all meetings of the Brotherhood. . At this point the Brotherhood ad journed until !) o'clock tomorrow morning and the public was admitted to the audi torium to hear the President's address. While tiie audience was being seated, the band rendered “America,” the President and others in the hall rising. Mayor Ghambliss delivered a short ad dress of greeting in which he welcomed to Chattanooga all the firemen, “Whether they came from Canada. Mexico or Oyster Bay.” After an address of welcome in behalf of the State by Governor McMil i tn and an address by Grand Master Sar gent. interspersed with music, President Roosevelt was introduced by Acting Grand Master llannahan. His reception was most enthusiastic, the audience ris ing to its feet and cheering. When the President addressed the convention as “My Brothers,” he war. cheered again. He said he was glad to be here and joined with the others in extending a cordial welcome to the visitors from *'anada and Mexico. He needed no pressing, he said, to come to this meet ing. “I always have, gentlemen, admired greatly the railroad men of the country, and I do not see how anyone who be lieve in the fundamental principles of citizenship can fail to do so.” He com pared the railroad men to soldiers who are accustomed to take risks, acting on tleir own initiative and obeying orders. In raising his own regiment, he said, he got a number of railroad men. Os course, the first requisite was that a man should know ho wto ride and how to siioot. Giving them these two qualities, he found that there was no better group from which soldiers could be drawn than raßroad men. The President said he hoped and be lieved that the danger of war would be less in the future than it has in the past. At the opening of the twentieth century we face conditions vastly changed from a century ago. We as a people, find awaiting us problems which m. i| our best thoughts to solve them. The President referred to tiie good worlj accomplished by the Brotherhood of Lo i omotlve Firemen. ‘ I believe emphatically,” he said, “in organized labor. The worth of an organ ization depends upon its being handled with the courage, the skill, the wisdom, the spirit of fair dealing as between man and man and the wise self restraint which I am glad to be able to say your brotherhood has shown.” The President spoke of the necessity of working. I pity the creature who does not work,” he said, “at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as beiug” He said the law of The News and Observer. work well done secures the successful life. Discussing the benefits which have grown out of the organization of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, the President said the brotherhood does much for all firemen, but he firmly be- j lieved that the individual fireman, since the growth of the brotherhood had been ' more, not less, efficient than he was twenty years ago. “A great deal can be accomplished,” he said, ‘‘by working each for all, and all for each, but we must not forget that the first requisite in accomplishing that is that each man hould go on and work for others by working for himself. “I feel that organizations like yours have a tonic upon the whole body poli tic. It is a good thing that there should be a large body of our fellow citizens who exercise the old qualities ot cour age, daring and resolute, unflinching, willingness to meet danger at need and that there should be a profession whose members must year in and year out dis play these qualities. I hope to see all . our people develop the softer, gentler virtues to an ever increasing degree, but I hope never to see them lose the sterner virtues that make men. The problem of good citizenship is a problem of produc ing good men and women. All the or ganizations in the world wont make a : coward and a shirk out of a good engin eer or a good fireman, and the best con stitution will work but will if we have not in the average citizen something that stands as far above intellect as in tellect does above mere brute strength character that is composed of honesty, of courage and hard common sense ” The President told his trip over the battlefield of Chickamauga yesterday and drew a lesson of the heroism shown by the armies of the North and South. The men who composed these armies, he said, possessed the requirements of which good citizens are made. He referred to tiie inscription on the monument raised by Kentucky to the Union and Confed (Continued on Fifth Page.) FOH TFpDENT Asheville is Decorating to Receive Him.

TUESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 9. 1902. SORM PANTHER jTheCrete-a-Pierrot Declared a Pirate * * 5 * ; i The German War Vessel Sayes the Haitien Gun Boat’s Crew But Sends Her to the Bottom. (By tho Associated Press.) Berlin, Sept. B.—The marine ministry lias given out tho following official re- port of the sinking of the Firminist gun boat Crete-a-Pierrot: “Captain Eckerroann, of the Panther, had received orders to capture the pirati cal gunboat Cretc-a-Pierrot. The j Panther went there from Port-au-Prince ;to Gonaives, where it completely sur prised the Crete-a-Pierrot. The German commandant sent the following ulti matum: “ ‘Strike your colors within fifteen ; minutes and disembark from your ship without undertaking any defensive meas ures whatever, otherwise an immediate attack will follow.’ “The Panther had already cleared for action. The Crete-a-Pierrot hauled down her flag within the allotted time and the crew disembarked. The Panther then intended Co take the Crete-a-Pierrot in tow, but an explosion of her powder magazine soon occurred, which was evi dently effected by the Crete-a-Pierrot's crow. The explosion destroyed her stern and set the vessel on fire, rendering taking her in tow impossible, especially as further explosions followed. As this , was regarded as a hostile act, and as the guns afore were still in condition, the Panther’s Captain caused the forward magazine to be exploded through a. cannonade. After this was exploded (he Crete-a-Pierrot broke up and sank. The admiral was on board with the rebels. “Gonaives is in the hands of the rebels.” It was announced from Cape Haitien September 3 that the German steamer Markomamii, Captain Nansen, belonging to the Hamburg-American Packet Com pany, having on board arms and ammuni tion sent by the provisional government to Cape Haitien, had been stopped Sep tember 2 by the Firminist gunboat Crete a-Pierrot, at the entrance to the harbor of Cape Haitien. and that armed forces sent on board the steamer from the gun boat took possession of the war muni tions in spite of the protestations of Capt. Nansen and the German consul. The seizure of the Markomanni has been characterized as an act of piracy. But a dispatch from Berlin to the Asso ciated Press dated September 6, said German government circles did not take a tragic view of the seizure of the Ger man vessel, but that satisfaction would be demanded.

A FATAL BLUNDER BY STRIKERS Two Union Miners Shot and Stabbed. One Dead the Other Dying. (By the Associated Press.) Wilkesbarrc, I’a., Sept. B.—A fight to day between striking miners at Maltby resulted in the death of one man ar.d the fatal injury of another. Both victims were Italians, The man killed was Sistieno Vancastelli. aged 36 years. His companion, Frank Portay, was stabbed several times and is in the Wilkesbarre hospital, not expected to live. All last night strikers gathered in the vicinity of the Maltby mine of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, at Maltby, and the Harry E. colliery at Forty Fort. It was rumored that both of these mines were to start today with a full force of men, and the strikers had pickets out on all roads leading to the mines to inter cept any man who might be on their way to work. A heavy fog prevailed and it was diffi cult to pe e people in the roadway Short ly after seven o’clock a number of strikers on guard at the Maltby colliery saw two men approaching carrying gens. Tne pickets came to the conclusion that they' were non-union men going to work. The strangers were stopped and strikers crowded around them. One striker in the crowd who spoke the Italian language, said the men were starting on a hunting trip, and that they were union miners. Thew other strikers did not understand what was said and believing that the foreigners were non union men on their way to work, at tempted to take the gun away from Vancastelli. He resisted, a fight ensued, and soon the two Italians were lying in a pool of blood in the roadway. Vancas telli was shot in the side and the left side of his face was crushed in. His companion Portay was stabbed in the side several times. The nows of the riot brought a large number of deputy sheriffs to the scene and on their arrival the mob dispersed. No arrests 'v n made. Hiram Fisher, who is charged with shooting a Polish woman last night at Edwardsville, was today removed to the hospital in this city. Fears were en tertained that he would be taken lrom the lockup and hanged. Ail night long a mob surrounded the buildi-ng and was so threatening that Burgess Dando was afraid to give the accused man a hearing. Sheriffs Jacobs was much exercised to day over the riots and bloodshed in tho county, and at one time it was thought he would have to call upon the militia for aid. But this afternoon order was pretty well restored in the Wyoming region and if there are no further out breaks the sheriff will not call out the troops. THK jeffekson ticket. T c.

He spoke for about an hour and a half and devoted the entire time to a discussion of the so-called in dependent Democratic movement in Hal ifax county. Mr. Kitehin showed by the most logical argument and conclusions that tho interests of the Republican party are behind (he movement, although those in the county who arc promoting it do not know it. He argued that if the leaders of the movement do not land in the Republican party they will reverse all experience and history in polities. Then Mr. Kitehin very ingeniously put to rest the independents on the ground of their argument that they wish a “new deal” whereby those Who have been in office sometime shall step aside and let in some who have not held office.

SECOND PRIMARY TODAY To Decide Who Shall Succeed McLaurin and Who Govern Sonth Carolina (By the Associated Press.) Columbia, S. C., Sept.

A COLUMN 10 MOVE AGAINST THE MOROS General Sumner Ordered to Lead the Troops, A LESSON TO BE TAUGHT Twelve Attacks on Americans Made Since Second of May, \ THE MACIN MOROS &THE AGGRESSORS The Last Attack on the First of S< ptember at Camp Vicars, The Moros Must Pledge Themselves to Keep the * Peace. (By the Associated Press.) Manila, Sept. 8. —General Chaffee has ordered General Sumner, commanding the Department of Mindanao, to lead a col umn against the Macin Moros. In his older General Chaffee suggests that eight companies of infantry, two troops of cavalry and one battery shall form at Camp Vicars, Island of Mindanao. It is exppcted that the column will move within a week. Most of the attacks upon the American forces have originated in the Macin country. This movement is to be directed against hostiles, several of w hom are enumerated In General Chaf fee’3 order. General Sumner is directed to require the hostiles to give a satisfactory pledge to refrain from aggression in the fu ture. There are several Moro strong holds in the Macin country. It is not definitely known where the first opposi tion will be encountered. This will de pend upon Ceneral Sumner's course af ter moving. General Sumner is directed to protect the friendly natives. Chaffee Cables a Report. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Sept. B.—The War Depart ment has received a cable dispatch from General Chaffee dated Manila September 6th, stating that an attack was made on the United States troops at Matiling Falls, seven miles from Camp Vicars, by Moros, September Ist. First Lieutenant William M. Parker, Eleventh infantry, and two soldiers were wounded, and one soldier killed. General Chaffee also says: “Have authorized Brigadier General Samuel S. Sumner to move troops Into Macin country and exact promise of good i behavior in future from Datos and fol- I lowers. Troops have been attacked twelve times since May 2nd, with loss to us of four killed and twelve wounded. We have remained all the time quiet seek ing friendship; in action self-defense only." The last part of General Chaffee’s dis patch evidently is intended to inform the War Department that the army has been acting wholly upon the defensive in (he Moro country. His instructions have been to do nothing which would provoke a conflict with the Moros, and the posi tion of the War Department is that if there is a conflict it must ho justified by the aggressions of the Moros.
