His subject was The Duties of Citizenship in a Re public". . ',-"-""' , It was more than the address of a private citizen but for the lapse of time it would have been the message of a president to the people of a for eign land; the speech was written while Mr. Roosevelt was still in the white house. ' ; . . , ? A striking point of the speech; was an interpolation which i he made to day the pnly change made since it was first written: , . : -'My - position ' as' regards --tnonied interests can be put in a. few words. In every civilised society, property (rights must be carefully safeguarded Ordinarily and In the great majority of cases, -human rights and property rights are fundamentally and In the long run identical, but when It clear ly appears that there is a conflict be tween thorn, human rights must have the upper hand, for property belongs to man and not man to property." His speech was typically ' Roob eveltlan, and many of his policies were' embodied in it, including (hat of unti-race suicide.

The. testimony created a sensation and caused a furore In 'the ranks of the defense. The calling of Miss Houlihan at this time was entirely unexpected. Her testimony was of such character that Dr. Hyde and his attorneys remained up the greater part of last night, going over her tes timony, seeking lor flaws. She will be subjected to a prolonged and se vere cross-examination when her di rect testimony is concluded.

Hankow, April 23 Thirteen. rin.S: leaders of anti-foreign mobs were lie headed at Chang Him. yesterday by'.-lhe conimander-in-chief of "the'.' troops sent there to quell the uprising'. This rastlc action, however, accord ins to advices received here today has served merely', lo inflame the. -mobs further. Chang Sim is terror-stricken and the inflamed country districts of Hunan' province are reported beyond all control.; The situation of many missionaries cut off .from, escape is desperate. . The hatred of foreigners. in" Hunan has broken out with a virulence quailed only in the days of the Boxer prising. The disorders have turned com pletely from anger over the corner in rice engineered by officials and a wave of hatred for all Caucasians has swept the entire province until the revolt has become a "holy war". Further, reports of pillages aifd murder reached' here today in spite of the cutting of telegraph wires by mobs. The refugees, native Christ ians, ore .; nDnnuoning, their Homes and following the missionaries, some of whom .reached here yesterday. While it is believed that the pres ence of 3,000 troops in Chang Sha, and the fact that gunboats in the Siang River have rtheir guns trained on the town, will prevent a repetition of the most " serious disorders," in hich theity was partly burnod,, the situation in the outlying districts is beyond control. The troops are dis affected and hundreds are reported to ave joined the mobs, -mutinying. . The meagre reports already , at hand indicate that more than 1,000 deaths have already resulted from the uprising, and a score of villages and settlements have been, wiped out. The government is unable to send into the province an adequate force to control the entire territory With more than 20,00P,0U0 : inhabitants, Hunan today is virtually a revplting nation without a nation. - Several British residents of Chang Sha arrived here today, acting on the advice of their consul, who warned all to leave the city.

A number of, other boats are being tossed about on the lake or have found refuge in other ports, while lake traffic Is demoralized-generally by one of the severest gales and snow storms that have centered "about this region in years.
