BEVERIDGE'S speech The- Senator Sounded I he Keynote of the Insurgent Movement ? Miikes Speech K* pin In inn Ilia Initio. In Ite-ard lo the Tariff ? The Insur gent* Will Stand or Fall. Indianapolis. Ind., April 5. ? By side-tracking all mention of the State local option issue and eliminating all mention of the Payne- Aldrich tariff law-^-two points definitely decided upon by the resolutions committee at a nearly nll-nlght session. the Repub lican state convention, which met at 10~ o'clock this forenoon, sounded clearly and distinctly tile keynote of the o-called vin*urgent" movement, when United States Senator A. J. Beverldge. as temporary chairman of the convention, delivered what Is looked upon by Indiana political leara as tUft most notable utterance of His political career and a declara tion of principles on which Beverldge htfnself - and the entire insurgent movement will stand or fall. The appearance of the senator was the signal for a tremendous ovation from delegates and galleries. There were no preliminaries to the conven tion. Beverldge was the liaue; Bev erldge was the convention. What he was to say had been jealously guard ed by, bis. friends and the press. They kn^w in a general way, however, that he 'did not Intend to take any back ward step or offer any apology for his fight and vote in the senate upon the tariff and other issues. The Republicans of Indiana are for a protective tariff which covers the dlfferenre in the cost of production here and abroad. Loss than that iB unjust to American laborers: more than that is unjust to American con sumers. Injustice 1b the only foe that protection noeds to fear. It was to reduce the Dingley tariff to meet changed' conditions and secure jus tice that we undertook its ?revit<ion. Every economic policy, every po litical system, almost e^ery govern ment had been destroyed " because of exreesea and Injustice that crept into it. TJie way to keep suro a policy, a system or a government that in it self la good is to administer It tfith Justice and wisdom. The only way to keep a party solid and growing Is to keep'it right and progressive. . PAMTBQO I.y<" AI.H. April 4. Mr. J. D. Thompson returned Mon-' day from Elisabeth City. ? Prof. L_ E.

Admission Was clfarged and refreshments seAed Iree. Tho room on the first floor was suitably arranged for tho children under 1 2 years of age. The contests In this room wfere simple but Interest ing. The prises were awarded to Johnnie 8hyler and the oftxes to three jglxls who tied. One of the rooms an the second floor' was artistically ar ? I**,., ? Crop My. f. From a correspondent the Daily News ascertains that the South Creek soetloo w? s visited by one of the se verest hall storm in years Sunday afternoon, last. The Irish potatoe vines itre beaten almost to pieces. Corn 'was damaged but not near so much as the potatoes. The corres pondent writes that the hall com pletely covered the ground. Some of the stones were as large as hen eggs. Ten window ^unea were broken at the store of H. C. Mayo & Co., and the hall burst through the kitchen roof at the homo of Mr. Qeorga Flowers. Shingles wore beaten off tha- houses. The crops in the South Creek section suffered greatly. The hall will prove quite a blow to the farmers in that MOR>: FAVORABLE. Though the labor situation con tinues somewhat irregular la charac ter, this ?(eek'8 developments, when weighed la the balance, show that it presehta a more favorable aspect. This latter phase of affairs is fur nished In the Incredlsd wages grant ed to perhaps 30.0,000 employes by such railways as the Pennsylvania, the New York, New Haven & Hart ford, the Baltimore & Ohio and NOr-l folk & Western, the leading increase being that of 6 per cent, accorded by the Pennsylvania system to its em ployes, numbering upwards of 200, 000, who receive 4ess than $300 per month. Negotiations are pending with other roads, and as all of them appear satisfied to . settle on* some basis, the prospects favor a speody termination"? the matters In issue. In fact, the only road that seems to be confronted with' difficulties In this respect Is the a^uw York Central.! which has offerod to compromise on a basis, that ut first blush does not appear to measure up 4o the terms granted by either the New Haven or tho Baltimore & Ohio. However. Mr. W. C. Brown, president pf the New York Central, points out that with the greater facilities possessed by his road ffcr ^jnovlng trains.- such as the four^lrapk? hetw^n Bu^alo and Al bany and extra running track* else where, the men cin get In more mile-, age, the basis of compensation, in /ft day than on iho Baltimore & Ohio and most other roads. Thereforo-the fall ways'' haye. done very .well for one week, and while there Is some talk to the effect that "the men benefited are not*in every Instance whoilf sat isfied with the terms granted, and that they will use the present settle ments as levers t9r higher wages later on, the fact Is that the railways have placated their employes for the time being at lea*t. tfther industrial concerns have also ? granted higher compensation to their employes, and rU is especially noteworthy that Lake Superior ore producers have advanc ed wages about 10 per cent, thus es tablishing the highest rate ever paid in the' history of the In^ustr.

At the same Urn r it threatens to have a material effe t on the journey } of Mr. Roosevelt an< his family. Advices reeeived tore today bring the rumor that Emi eror Francis Jos- | eph of Austrla-Hi: igary is *sy In censed that he has decided to refuse to meet the ex-pre? dent. It is even rumored that othe Catholic rulers may take similar 'action, although that is hardly probable. On the other hand advices received from France make ,:it clear that, so far as the republic is concerned, Mr. Roosevelt has enhanced the -heart i neKs of his reception by his refusal to comply with tbo demands of, the Vatican. The long-plmmerUig Strug gle between the clericals and the* rad icals' in France is about to come to a head in the approaching elections, and the foes of the church are al ready exploiting the Roosevelt inci dent and holding lt&>efore the public a* an example of clerical intolerance.

Begun Before the Committee. i j MUCH^INTEREST AROUSED The First \\ Uno%s Was John A. Pen ton. the Secretary of Hip I^j,ku?? Asked fof Counsel and the Com mittee Took the Matter Under Consideration. Washington, April 5. ? The house investigation of the charges made by the emrchant marine league that members of congress were being cor rupted by a lobby to defeat ship sub sidy legislation was begun today be fore the special committee recently appointed by Speaker Cannon. The committee includes Keprenentativee Olcott of New York, Longworth of Ohio, Hawley of Oregon, Humphreys of Mississippi, and Garrett of Ten nessee. The first witness was John A. Pen ton, of Cleveland, O., secretary of the merchant marine league. He asked if he could employ'counsel. This was discussed by the committee and It was decide}! to further discuss It In executive session. Before Penton was examined Rep resentative Kustermann, of Wiscon sin, whose name has been used by the league, read n statement giving the names of newspapers and others who had attacked him because of his opposition to ship subsidy. Representative Steenerson. of Min nesota. tlie author of the resolution which caused t he investigation, sub mitted a largo number of letters he nad received from the merchant ma rine league officials In Cleveland. They were handed to the witness for identification. The witness said the letters were written lu I lie office of the league^ but lie was not willing to say thai he had dictated or sign ed them. However, lie said, the lea gue would assume responsibility for the letters.
