PRESIDENT'S SPEECH
Address lo the People at Memphis,
Tennesseei
OCCASION WAS LARGELY ATTENDED
president Called Attention, to the
Fact That Much Honor Has Been
Won By Ex-Confederates.
Memphis, Tenn., Special. Although J
tne iesu vines weanesaay celebrated
the home-coming of General Luke E.
.Wright, vice governor of the Philip
pines, it is no reflection upon the
warmth of the welcome! extended to
him that President Roosevelt's pres
ence was the overshadowing feature
of the 'day. Excursion trains were ruu
into the city and a number of dis
tinguished people were present to par
ticipate in -the celebration. Among
them were Governor Benton McMil
lan and General Joseph Wheeler.
The President was welcomed by a
large crowd that'.-showed -great en
thuiasm. In speaking he said in part:
It is a real and great1 pleasure to
come to this .typical city of the South
ern: Mississippi Valley 'In order to
greet a typical American a citizen of
Tennessee, who deserves honor not
onlj' from, his State but from the en
tire country -General Luke E. Wright.
Wei have a right to expect a high stan
dard of manhood from Tennessee. It
was one of the first two" States created
wesr of the Alleghany Mountains, and
It vas in this State that the first self
govening community of American
freem?n, v,s. established upon waters
noy.ing into he Gulf. The pioneers of
Tennessee were "among tha earliest in
that great westward march which
thrust; the nation's order across the
comment to the Pacific, and it is emi
nently fitting, that a son of Tennessee
should now play so prominent aj part
in the further movement of expansion
beyond the Pacific There have been
Presidents of . the. United States for
but one hundred 'and thirteen . years,
and during sixteen of 'those years Ten
nesseeans sat-'ift the White House.
Hardihood, and daring, and iron reso
lution are of right tri be' expected
among the sons, of a State which nur
tured AndrewJacks'on-.and Sam Hous
ton; which ''Sent'1, into the ' American
navy one of the most famous fighting
admirals of all time, Farragut.
There isvanother reason why-i our
country should he glad that?- it was
General Wright who rendered .thte
service. General Wright fought . With
distinguished gallantry among the
gallant men who servedin the armies
of the Confederacy.1 during the .civil
war. We -need no nrocf of tne com

General Wrights work has been as
difficult aj it was important. The
events of the last four, years have defi
nitely decided that whether wc wish
to or not we must hereafter .play a
gret part in the world. We cannot
escape f acing the duties. We may
8hirk them'if we arq built ' of poor
stuff, or we may take hold and do
them if we are -fit sons of our sires
out face them we must, whether we
Jill or not. Our duty in the Philippine
glands has simply, been one of the
ties that thus have come upon us,
We are there, and we can no moi e
aaul down our flag and abandon tb
Alaska. Whether we are Klad or -sorry

wrk -which we had shirked. It
cannot be too of ten repeated that there
was no question, that the-work had-to
be done. All the-question was, wheth
er we would do it well or ill; and,
thanks to the choice of men like Gov
ernor Wright, it has been done well.
The first and absolutely indispensable
requisite was order peace. The reign
of lawless violence; of resistance to
legitimate authority, the reign of an
archy, could no more be tolerated
abroad than it could be tolerated here
in our own land. -
The American flag stands for or
derly liberty, and it stands for it
abroad as it stands for it at home. The
task of our soldiers was to restore
and maintain order in the islands. The
army Had " the ...task-to do, and it did
it well and thoroughly. The fullest and
fcaarticst nraie belongs to our sol
diers who in the Philippines brought
to a triumphant conclusion a war -
small indeed compared, to the gigantic
struggle in which the older men whom
l am addressing took part in. the early
60s., but inconceivably harassing and
difficult, because it was waged amid
the pathless Jungles of vrreat tronc
islands and aaiust n foe very elusive,
very treacherous, and often incon
ceivably cruel both toward our men
and toward the great numbers of
peace-loving Filippinos who gladly
welcomed our a. .vent. The soldiers in
cluded both regulars . and. volunteers,
men from the North, the South, the
East and the West, men from Penn
sylvania and from Tennessee, no les3
than men from the Rocky Mountains
and the Pacific slope and to all alike
we give honor, for they acted as
American soldiers should. Cruelties
were committed here and there. The
fact that they were committed under
well-nigh intolerable, provocation af
fords no excuse for such cruelties, nor
can we admit as justification, that they
were retaliatory in kind. Every effort
has been made to detect and punish
the wrongdoers and the wrongdoing
itself has been completely stopped. But
these misdeeds were exceptional, and
their occurrence in no wise alters tne
fact that the American army in the
Philippines' showed as a whole not
only, splendid soldierly qualities; but
a high order of humanity in dealing
w'ith their foes. A hundred thousand
of our troops went to the Philippines.
Among them were some who offended
against the' right. Well, are we alto
gether immaculate at home? I think
not. I ask for no special consideration
to be shown our friends and kinsmen,
our sons and brothers who . during
three years so well upheld, the na
tional' honor in the Philippines. I ask
merely that we do the same equal jus
tice to the soldier who went abroad
and faced death and lived hard as we
show to his ftMow who 3tayed at home
;and lived easily and in comfort; and
if we show that equal justice we will
.doff our hats to the men who has put
the whole country under obligations

the Philippines.

demands not touched upon is that of
the weighing of coal by the legal ton.
While bjoth sides haxe expressed their
willingh;ess to settle thejir differences
among pemselves, it is not to be con
strued that it carries with it ithe ac
ceptance of the terms proposed. They
are mentioned only as a basis, it i3-
understood, from which a settlement
is to be effected. It is possible thatthe

some questions, and thus leave the
whole matter in the hands of the com
mission, who in the meantime willj act
as a sort of , a board of conciliation,

of the Commission, who read i a cjare
f ully prepared announcement from the
bench. The move, one of the most im
portant , in the whole history of ithe
coal strike, created a mild sensation
when itl became, known. The surprise
was alii the greater when it will be re
membered that numerous propositions
from th United States down and that
many organizations, from the National
Civic Federation to the small boards
of tradg of the mining towns, failed
to bring the two parties together. 1 It
is said it was all brought about - by
.both sides seeing that the proceedings
oetore tne committee wouia oe mier
minablej and in the intermingling 'of
the lawyers for both sides the outside
agreement proposition was broached
and taken up. !
It cannot be stated which I party
made the proposition first. The at
torneys for both sides are adverse, to
talking! An attorney for one of the
railroads said it came from the miners'
side, while one lawyer for the; miners
said it fcame from the operators. An
other report of the miners said it was
a "spontaneous" proposition. It is gen
erally believed, however, that I the op-
r erators were the first to make the
nronosition. Wayne MacVeagh. who
carried loh such a brilliant cross-ex
amination of President Mitchell, is
given ctedit for bringing " abo tuthe
present situation. He went to New
York after he finished with Mr. Mitch
ell and; had a conference with certain
persons j connected with the epalj in
dustries; among them, it is reported,
J. Pierpont Morgan. He "was in New
York in! connection witn tne matter.
The commissioners were informed i of
the turd of affairs ' last night, and ac
quiesce in the proposed arrangements
The situation did not directly come
up. iri the public bearing today and the
adjournment proposition was maae
ostensibly to permit both sides to com
plete their work of preparing docu
mentary! evidence. , ;
Clarence S. Darrow, of Chicago, one
of Mr. Mitchell's attorneys, ! brought
the matter out when, near the close
of the d&y's session, he suggested that
the miners be given a little more time
to prepare their evidence. The min
ers wanted to present the due bills or
wage statements of thousands" of
miners ) running back' for several
years, and they found that the task of
presenting them in a proper; manner
was as J stupendous one. They also
wanted to carefully examine the com
pany books and this, too, . would tak
considerable time.
President Arrives Home.
Washington, Special. President
Roosevelt arrived here at 8 o'clock
Tuesday5 morning over the Southern
Railroad!. A little crowd was at the
station; witness his return." As he
left the train he shook hands with ,the
engineer and fireman and .. : thanked
them for the safe run they had made.
The President and Secreary Cortelyou
were driven direct to the White House.

RRUPP "PASSES SUDDENLY AWAY
Some flystery Connected, With His
Sudden Death, But No Susplclan of
Suicide.
Berlin, By Cable. Herr Krupp, the
great gun-maker and the wealthiest
man in Germany, died suddenly from
apoplexy Saturday noon, at his villa
at Huegal. Herr Kru'pp had been ill
for several days and a report of his
condition was telegraphed 'daily to his
wife,'?who had been several months in
Jena, under medical treatment. Con
cerned by the latest dispatches re
garding her husband, Frau Krupp left
Jena yesterday, accompanied by Prof.
