President's day at the expe?rtion dawned grandly. The sky vfas e'?ar and the temperature of the atmosphere was -all that could be de sired. ' ."''-- Immense crowds were present when J:r. McKinley's arrival at the grounds as heralded by a salute of twenty -one guns. The day was a holiday in this city, many factories were closed as were a!! branches of the Supreme, Federal and other local courts. "The nain. at traction, of course, wss the speech of the President, who. upon his introduc tion to the vast assemblage by President Milburn. was received with a mighty cheer, after expressing his pleasure at being present again in this city and ex tending a hearty greeting to the- renre-. sentatives of all the republics present, paid in part: "Expositions are the time .keepersVof progress. Thpy record the world's ad vancement. They stimulate the energy, enterprise and intellect of the people and quicken human genius. They go into the home. They broaden and brighten the daily life of the people. They open miehty storehouses of information to the student. Every exposition, great or small, has helped" to some .onward step. "The Pan-American Exposition has done its work thoroughly.-presenting in its' exhibits evidences of the highest skill and illustrating, the progress of the hu man family in the western hemisphere. This portion of the earth has no cause for humiliation for the part it hrs per formed in the march of civilization. It has not accomplished everything. Far from it. It has simply done its best. and without vanity or boastfulness. and recognizing the manifold achievements of others. It invites the friendly rivalry of all the powers m the peaceful pur- suits of trade and commerce, and will co- operate" wit hall in advanciig the highesf ana best interests of humanitv. The wisdom and energy of all the nations are none-too great for the world's work. Tho success of art. science, industry and in vention is an annual asset and a common glory.

"A mutual exchange is manifestly es sential to' the continued and healthful growth of our export trade. We must not repose in fancied 'security that we can forever sell everything and buy lit tle or nothing. If such a thing were possible it Would not be best for ns or for those With whom we deal. We should take from our customers such of their products as Ave can use without harm to our industries and labor. Tffimcxitv is the natural outgrowth of our wonderful industrial development un-1 der the domestic policy now hrmly es tablished. The period of exclusiveness is past. The expansion of our trade and commerce is the pressing problem. Commercial wars are unprofitable. A policy of good will and friendly trade relations will prevent reprisals. Reci procity treaties are in harmony with the spirit of the times; measures of re taliation arc not. ' , . "If perchance some of our tariffs are no longer needed for revenue or to en courage and protect our industries at home, why should they not be employed to extend and promote our markets abroad? Then, too, we have inadequate steamship service. One - of the needs of the times is direct commercial lines from our vast fields of production to the fields of consumption that we have but barely touched. Next in ' advantage to having the thing to sell is to have the convenience to carry it to the buyer. "We must encourage our' merchant marine. We mnst have more ships. They must be under the 'American flag, built and manned and owned by Americans. They will not only be profitable in a commercial sense, but they, will mes sengers of peace' and amity wherever they go. We must build the isthmian canal, which will unite .'the two oceans and give a straight line of water com munication with the western coasts of Central and South America and Mexico. The construction of a Pacific cable can not be longer postponed. "In the furtherance of these objects of national interest and concern yon are performing an important part.

The good work will go on. It cannot be stopped. These buildings will 'disappear; this creation of art and beauty and industry will perish from sight, but their influence" will remain to 'make it live beyond its too short living, with praises and thanksgiving.', " President MeKinley spent practically the whole day at "the Pan-American Ex position, his every movement followed by many thousands of his countrymen.

BBlTISIf OPINION ;Th President Speech Reviewed by the London Standard London, Sept. C The Standard this I morning, commentingr on President JSlc j Kinley's speech at the Pan-American exposition, says it sees in it, an ex pression of the Xactthat the . United Slates are preparing, or wars ; in the nuuie wnicnswili be commercial ones. It add: ', , "The United States his become an imperial power as the history of her di plomacy for year past conspicuously shows. It is formed by an expansive, vim aggressive spirit. Heedless of scof fers at spread eagletam, the -Unit'd States will go her way regardless of at tempted combinations against her such ns sivricuKU uy as sketched by Count Goluchowski. Austio-llungariam minister of Fore $ 1 -u:ius. an witn a cejtam carelessness whether or not comes. a violent conflict with any European power." The Standard regards Mr. McKinley's reference to' an isthmian canar-as an intimation to Great : Britain that the Claytou-Buiwer treaty will have-to be modified jn. some way,, and .it expects a formal pronouncement on the subject in the next .Presidential message , ti Cougress, Ie declares that the mut te.r canyit 1k settled without the concur rence of Great Hiitain. - . : , r ' Continuing, the paper says that the Central and South American revolutions I'aise barriers to the enterprise of cap italists, and the United States' policy of mediation in the present trouble is evidence that her diplomacy is directed towards' cleaiing these away. The South American market is worth having. A power which asserted dominant political influence, such as the United States is endeavoring to establish, would ob tain great reward. The United States means to be that power through the in strumentality of reciprocity treaties, subsidized steamships, and even of war against any European power which may challenge its pretensions to political, su premacy. " Referring briefly to Pan-Americanism, the Standard remarks that Great Brit ain is both a North American - and a South American power. Holland and France are South American powers. It adds: "Europe will never march out of America, north or south, at the. bid ding of the supporters of ' the Monroe doctrine. Pan-Americanism is its wid est sense is an idle dream, but the ex treme eJTort of the United States to be the predominant political and com mercial Dower is decided by the eco nomic need of finding an outlet, for her ever-increasing surplus products. The necessity will press more heavily upon her as the years pass." EDITOR AND FARMER Bryan Has No Intention .of Dabbling in Oil Lincoln, Neb.. Sept. 5. Mr. - Brvan enters an emphatic denial to the stories that he is seeking wealth through oil. In the Commoner he says: "The story is absolutely without foun dation. Mr. Bryan not only has no iu- vestment in oil lands, but has never contemplated investing in oil lands, II.:s only business enterprise is the Com moner, and he has no intention of tak ing stock or interest in anything else. As to leaving Nebraska he has no thought of such a thing. lie is now preparing to build a cottage upon his farm three miles southeast of Lincoln, and expects to spend the remainder of his days there. The readers of the Com moner will be kept fully informed as to Mr.v Bryan's plans jind purposes, and they need not pay any attention to 'ru mors' and 'reports'- emanating from any othersource.'5 The Commoner will C Jifc tmue to be published at Lincom .

' : Much 'Surprise Expressed in Yachting Circles Further Trials "Were Expected Trouble with the Sails Newport, It. I., Sept. 5. The Colum bia, champion: of 1899, has been chosen to race against the Shamrock II in de fence pf the America's cup. This de cision was reached at noon today, after a conference of two hours between the members of. the challenge committee on board the schooner Corona, flagship of the New York YacEt Club. All the members of the committee were present. Commodore Lewis Cass Led yard' presided. Rear Commodore Rob inson, , .ex-Commodore E. M. Brown, C. Oliver Iselin, Archibald Rogers, Sec retary J. V. fc. Oddie and J. Malcom Forbes were the other members at the conference. The discussion was exhaustive. The performance of the two boats was gone over systematically and critically com pared. The conclusion was that the be havior of the Columbia was far more consistent than that of the Constitu tion, and that under the circumstances there was no other alternative than to name her as the defender of the cup. The formal notice announcing the se lection of the Columbia was posted at the yacht club station shortly after 12 o'clock. It was signed by the secretary and read as follows: "At a meeting of the committee on challenge of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, held on the flagship at 11:30 a. m., the Columbia was selected to represent the New York Yacht Club." It., was held that, while the decision might be- disappointing to the syndicate headed by - August Belmont, the chal lenge committee, with all conditions in mind, . were compelled to choose the Co lumbia, whose races have shown none of the erratic form manifested by her rival. " . : :Ai tbtf -condition tafiay wersuperfect for yacht racing, there are many disap pointed individuals here. They , had looked for ft contest between the Colum bia and the Constitution each day dur-r lug the week. ' The bulletin board an nouncement this morning to the effect that there would be no race today fore shadowed the decision of the challenge committee as to the cup defender. Ever since the frnst trial " race : was sailed-last Saturday, the members of the challenge committee' have been discuss ing the. boats -and trying to find out which was the better of the two in all conditions. The members have thrashed over and over again the records of the races in which the two have sailed, and they have argued among themselves for and against eaeh boat, but it is said they have always come to the conclusion that 'the Columbia was the better of the two and the safer boat to try to protect the cup. After the race Wednesday, when the Constitution showed that she was -getting back to her old form, the members informally talked the matter over until late .at night, and then it was .agreed that they would meet this morning on board the flagiip Corona and take some action. It was generally thought by yachtsmen who have been watching the two yachts that the committee would decide that at least two more races were necessary, and that the Constitution and Columbia should sail again Friday and Saturday. This, it jva"s thought, would be. only. fair to the Constitution. When the committee had heard all they wanted from the representatives of the two yachts, they held their meet ing this morning, which was very brief, and when it was over .Secretary Oddie announced that the committee, after a very thorough: discussion of the merit's of. the two yachts, had decided unani mously .to select the . Columbia. The announcement was a surprise to every one. Even those who had thought the Columbia was the better boat did not expect anything like - this, and thought that while there was time. more races should be sailed. - The peculiar part of the selection is that Mr. Duncan, Mr. E. D. Morgan, who has sailed the Columbia, and Kat Herreschoff, who built the two vachts. all assert that the Con stitution is the better, boat in moderate weather and therefore should have been selected, . as moderate weather i to be expected at the end of September. . As. soon as the committee adjourned several members hurried out of town. Mr. Duncan went back to the Constitu tion," and announced the news to Cap tain Rhodes, who in turn told the. crew. A more gloomy lot of fellows than those on the Constitution and on the tender, Mb Morris, it would have been hard to find anvwhere. Not a man among them xnected any such selection. ; The boat has leen in hard luck since she was launched, but even with the hard luck cii hrf-s. beaten the Columbia by. much more than she has been beaten by the Columbia. - -,.'.: W. B. Duncan. Jr.. was seen as soon jts .possible. Naturally he was very much surprised at the verdict and was not riisnoscd to sav much. "Our trouble has been -with -our sails all the season,'he said. "It is very hard to get sails to Ht '-these big yachts. We ' were doing fali ly well' with a sail that we all thought -rt-ii-.j -not cood enousrh and won several iitces with it.' A-new sail and a heavier 'te was maoe wnicn - it -wuo triir:,icu would make the yacht snii much faster, lmt4instead it did not do at all well, and It" .was taken off Tuesday ana tne ora sail, which was the worst looking sail we had. was benton. . That it was the f andf of 4he sail is proved by the showing-the yacht made in yesterday's 'race. After .being bothered very much, by the Columbia j.and having various kinds of hard luck, the Constitution outsailed the Columbia and-showed that she. was get ting into her' old form again. It is a very hard thing- to . take "a new yacht and get her into shape so ' as to beat an old one; like the Columbia, and al though the Columbia has. beaten the Constitution' the difference in time is in favor of the Constitution. It is very disappointing to all of us, but the chal lenge committee have chosen the yacht they think the better of the two, and of course Tve are all supporting that boat and. must abide by the decision of the committee. , It is ; too bad that so much money and so much time has been spent for nothing." New York, Sept. 5. When informed that the-Columbia had been officially se lected to race for the America's cup, Sir Thomas Upton said: "I thank you for the information. All I have to eay is that I shall abide by the decision of the committee. -I am sure they have selected the best boat, and the best boat is the one I want to sail against." s- ' y ' Shortly after 12 o'clock Sir Thomas decided not to take the Shamrock out today on account of the light wind. A new mainsail will be bent and she will go out tomorrow at 11 o'clock. , WILLflGHT IT OUT . - : . . .-. Steel Men Vote to Reject Schwab's Latest Offer ; " Pittsburg, Sept. 5. The Amalgamated Association has rejected the peace' prop osition tendered yesterday by C. M. Schwab, president of the steel trust, at his conference with the advisory board of the National Civic Federation. De cisive action was taken this morning at a meeting of the executive board of the Association. v Mr. Schwab's proposition to the strih ers, it is said, is no more favorable thin that made by Mr. Morgan at; the New York conference, and they absolutely re fuse to "settle on any such terms. At this morning's meeting a counter prop osition was formulated, but its nature was not disclosed. It is believed, how ever, to embody an agreement to start the mills now on strike, pending a set tlement of the dispute by arbitration. Mr. Shaffer's desire is arbitration, and he still clings to the hope that the trou ble may be ended in this manner. ONLY A PfilVATE TALK Captain Forsyth Did Not Say Anything for Publication Washjngton JSeptt 5.-rThe acting sec refary of 'the navy today received an answer from Captain James McQueen Forsyth, U. S. N., to the letter calling Captain Forsyth's attention to a news paper interview, in which he was quoted as making certain statements regarding the Schley case and asking for an ex planation. The department addressed a communication on this subject to Cap tain Forsyth ten days ago, but as iv.o answer was received a second letter was sent. He explains that the first letter, did not reach him. The text of Captain Forsyth's letter was not made public, but according to a statement issued by the Navy Depart ment, his explanation concerning the interview is as follows: Captain Forsyth, while coming east, was detained over Sunday at Kansas City, Mo. He declined to talk with a reporter. It sejems, however, that he fell into private conversation with some person at the hotel with no idea that what he said would be repeated hi any form. His remarks were distorted and were used to form the substance of the alleged interview. Captain Forsyth has made such disclaimer and has so frank ly avowed his deep regret at any indis cretion in the premises that the depart ment' is satisfied that there was no in tention on his part of violating the or der to refrain .from public statement, Xo action will be taken by the depart ment further than . to inform Captain Forsyth that his explanation is satis factory and that the incident will not be treated as affecting his excellent re cord. A CHARLESTON SCHEME ' ; - f :- ; ..." A Proposed Object Lesson for - Cuban Merchants . Washington, Sept. 5.-J. C. Hemphill, of the Charleston News and Courier, and Daniel A. Tompkins, of North Car 'olina, -were at the War Department this morning and had a talk with Gen eral Gillespie, acting Secretary of War, in regard to bringing a party of Cuban merchants to the Charleston exposition for the purpose of giving them an object lesson. - . ' , - The Carolinians "contended that the expositionwould be of especial interest to the people of the West Indies.1 They wish to secure free transportation for them on one )f the government trans ports.

A commando has been on the other side of Orange River, in the Col ony of that name, for some time, and today's invaders evidently belonged to that forced They intended to rush the British defences and proceed further south into Cape Colony. 7 - The Boers surprised and captured four policemen, but in passing Wittebergeu they were inturn surprised'by a well posted force under Major Hook,- which received the invaders with well directed volleys and continued 'firing until the 'policemen escaped. . The Boers fled in, :i thoroughly demoralized condition, leaving one dead on the field while three others were taken . prisoners. The Brit ish captured several rifles "and forty horses were shot or 'taken. The Boers anDeared to have nlentv of snare horses, but a majority of them,' like the burghers themselves, -were seedy look- mg. - - " ' - ' The Boers were eventually driven out of this district. The British suffered no casualties. Boars Sbt Prisoner Pretoria, Sept. 5. At the trial of the Boer, Otto, Wednesday, it was proved that he ha(L surrendered to the British and was living in Pretoria. He left here and rejoined his commando at. Schurve berg, where he" told his companions that he had shpt a detective named. Mbodie. It is reported that the Boers have shot four police whom they captured . so-ue time ago whenthe police .were acting with 'Cttftais .CiyalenttoejThe' ; Bocis eent fdr a commandant ou"fKof tlv railway "to come and try the prisoners.'

President Johnson "this afternoon 'gave out the-names of eight National League ball players barred by the American League, from now on, for breaking faith' with the , magnates of the young league last spring, after, hav ing signed contracts to play ball for the season. The men are Dineen,-Willis, Matthewson, Lef ty Davis, ; Sheckard, Taylor,' Heidrick and Lenzer. - The meet ing between - McG-raw and President Johnson was entirely -'harmonious,, ac cording to the latter, and the two were closeted and had a long interview. Con ditions resulting . from the expiration ol the-National League franchise this fall, possibilities of peace being made be tween the two leagues, and the-definite decision to invade St. Louis next year were among the principal things - pre-' sented -by President Johnson for thi consideration of the league magnates. President Johnson stated definitely that the American " League ."would be in St. Louis next year, but declined t- predict what club would be transferred there. All thought of entering' Pitts burg has bee abandoned.he Bays, and ne is non-committal regarding isew x ork. There is another question that - is - re- j quiring the attention of '-the 'club owner ?! of the league that of changing from 25 to'50 cents, next yar. It is not probable that 'such a change will be made. ' ",'.- MINERS BURN TRESTLES Serious Trouble - Between Union and Non-union M,en Nashville, Tenn., Sept 5.
