CLEVELAND WAS QUIET
SOLDIER STIR t'P S03IE ADVERSE FEELING, HOWEVER. Ice Cream Vender Robbed as a Joke Church Members Denounce Violence Darlne the Strike. CLEVELAND, O.. July 30.-Notwithstand-Ing the fact that big crowds were on' the streets to-day, there were no outbreaks of violence and apparently very little attention was paid to the Big Consolidated cars, which ran on all lines on schedule time. On the South Side and out Broadway to Newburg the cars were run-practically empty, but the East Side lines, especially those running to the parks, were well patronized, though they carried fewer passengers by far than usual on fair Sundays. Adjutant General Axline, speaking of the fear of the people to ride on the cars in certain sections of the city at nlglLsald today: "This state of affairs is likely to continue for several weeks or months unless a settlement be reached. The only way to put a stop to it is to declare martial law. That will require four or five thousand soldiers, and every street will be patrolled. Everybody will be required to remain indoors after a certain hour, and all who are out after that time without a permit will be arrested. But martial law would put an end to the trouble effectually." The only exciting incident on the South Side was the hold-up of an ice cream wagon by a crowd of soldiers, who took from it a four-gallon freezer full of cream. They offered money for the cream, but the driver of the wagon refused to accept it. saying he could not sell it. The soldiers say they ordered the cream several days ago, and the dealer promised to deliver it, but it did not come, probably because of the boycott. When the soldiers saw one of the company's wagons coming to-day they stopped It, took the cream and offered to pay for It. The people in the neighborhood looked upon this as a great outrage, but the soldiers only laughed and treated it as a joke. Business Agent Pratt, of the union of the Big Consolidated strikers, issued a statement to-day in reply to the intimation that there was a breach between the strikers and the employes of the Little Consolidated. The latter have organized a separate union and have decided not to take part In a sympathy strike. Pratt thinks they should have Joined his union, and he says in his statement that the motive which prompted the organization of the separate union was not pure. He accuses certain of the Little Consolidated employes of trying to head off a strike on those lines, and he intimates that It Is unwise to divide the funds and energies of the two unions. Denounced from Pulpit. CLEVELAND, July 30. A number of ministers preached on the strike to-day. Tonight at the First Methodist Episcopal Church Rev. Louis Albert Banks took occasion to denounce the violence that had taken place and condemned the proposed boycott as highwaymen's tactics. He was loudly applauded by the large congregation, present.

A NEW TREATY" (Conclndcd from First Pase.) of first instance within the limits of the municipality. "Fourthly We have felt it our duty lo deal somewhat severely with the importation of arms and ammunition Into Samoa. Th3 prohibition existing In the treaty has become a dead letter. The management tf the customs has been exceedingly lax, having been largely in the hands of merchants, who naturally found it, convenient to have easy regulations. Private commercial houses have been allowed to discharge goods direct Into their own receiving sheds without any examination, and, though we make no specific accusations, it is clear that there can have been, no difficulty in introducing large quantities of arms, and that arms were so Introduced. We therefore feel It essential that the customs regulations should be stringently enforced under the supervision of the administrator, and that adequate customs accommodation, with an adequate shed, shall be provided with as little delay aa possible.

HIT SCORED BY H0LLS RARE PRAISE FOR SECRETARY OP DELEGATION AT THE HAGUE. Will In m Stead Places His Work Above that of All the Other United State Representatives. LONDON, July 30. W. T. Stead says. In the Daily News, of the peace conference just closed: ,The American delegation has been one of the most useful elements In the Parliament. If the old traditional policy of America had been construed with such severity as to forbid the presence of American delegates at the international gathering, tho world would have been the loser. Andrew D. White, its chief, held himself much in the background, but did not spare effort privately to bring about a good understanding between the representatives of the powers. "But the man of the American delegation who left much the deepest mark upon the conference and Its work, was the American lawyer, Mr. Holls, secretary of the delegation. Mr. Holls was comparatively unknown before the conference, but It had hardly come together before his energy and determination compelled all hia colleagues to feel that he was one of the strong men of the conference. Owing to his appointment on the committee d'examir.e, he was able to play a much more conspicuous role than any other of the American delegation, and made good use of this unique opportunity. Apart from the article introducing the special mediation which bears his name, he was chiefly Instrumental In Introducing the principle of revision Into the arbitration convention. In this he was ably seconded by Seth Low, whose exceptional abilities had unfortunately little opportunity for exercise. But, nevertheless, he impressed his colleagues very favorably. "Captains Mahan and Crozier made hosts of friends and stuck to their guns manfully, or, rather, one stuck to his asphyxiating Ehells and the other to his expanding bullet, with a resolution and pertinacity which commanded the admiration even of those who opposed them." The morning papers all devote space to the closing of the peace conference. The Standard says: "It must be 'a source of pride to Russia to know that she carried with her, in agreeing to all the conventions, declarations and resolutions, a majority of the nations represented. True, the minority, which makes Important exceptions 'and reservations. Includes such powers as Great Britain, the United States, Germany, Austria, Japan and Italy. Still, Russia can console herself with the support, not only of France, Belgium, Bolivia and Brazil, whose opinions on such topics as the laws of maritime warfare, the limitation of the caliber of naval ordnance and the pattern of rifle bullets, must carry weight, even If they conflict with the British Admiralty and the German War Office." The Daily News says: "The chief work was, of course, the definite, unanimous asrent of the assembled states to arbitration as a substitute for war. The Pope's letter, too, must have an excellent effect on Roman Catholic countries, and Protestants will read it with feelings of high esteem, for the sincerity of the aged pontiff, who, in language worthy of his high station, asknowledges the duty of the church to preserve the peace of the world." The Hague correspondent of the Times credits the United States with signing all the conventions' and declarations except the declaration concerning the interdiction of projectiles containing asphyxiating gases, and says: "The signature of most, if not all, of the states which were withheld from the arbitration convention will be secured after the revised text has been duly exam ined."

The mass of boys, he declares, by carrying their education beyond the point required , to enable them to cope with the practical details of business, gam a positive distaste for labor that does not come under the head "genteel" and' as a result young men are crowding Into poorlypaid places, where they do not have to soil their hands or do manual labor and good chances for promotion go begging in many cases. This condition or things, he says, is curious and must be explained before the present system of educating young men In tnis country can be called successful. OBITUARY.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: "The consent of the governed" is a phrase which the anti-expansionists of our country use as a text from which they preach and teach that the United States has no right to possession of the Philippine islands and that the war with the Filipinos is a war against the principles of our Declaration of Independence, specifically In conflict with that clause of the declaration which says that "governments derive their Just powers from the consent of the governed." Admit that the consent of the Filipinos under Agulnaldo is withheld and that they are In arms against the authority of the United States, yet it Is not conceded that their consent Is a prerequisite to our holding possession of the Islands and subduing all armed opposition to our possession. The sovereign authority in those islands for nearly lour hundred years has rested, unquestioned by all the nations of the world. In Spain. The Filipinos on several occasions made feeble armed protest against Spain's sovereignty of the Islands, but on each such occasion concluded the protest by disarming and renewing their allegiance to the crown of Spain. There were made new promises of benefits to the insurgent leaders and new oaths of allegiance to the crown were taken, but the punlc faith of both Spain and her Philippine subjects Is proverbial. The last rising of the Filipinos against Spanish rule was led by Agulnaldo. He had made some progress against Spanish authority when his patriotism was smothered by the large sum of money offered him by Spain If he would quit fighting and leave the islands. He accepted the bribe and went to Hong-Kong. This man. who sold out his interest In Filipino Independence for filthy lucre, Is now in high favor with a few dignified United States senators, college presidents and highschtjol professors.- They are rendering such aid as they can to the man they are praising and magnifying by the name Simon Bolivar George Washington Agulnaldo. in his war with the" United States. Agulnaldo fight the United States to-day with arms and munitions of war purchased in part by the money he received from Spain for betraying his countrymen, yet there are those in high positions among us who disgrace themselves and would degrade the name of Washington by placing in the same niche In the temple of liberty the name Agumaldc. Those people who thus applaud Agulnaldo should know do know that the parallel between the careers of Asuinaldo and Benedict Arnold Is complete, or will bo completed when the Xcrctr is aala driven frca ths

F. I'LL 1ST, Supi. Philippines and becomes "A man without a country. The phrase "consent or the covemed. as used in the Declaration of Independence, relates only, to sXich peoples as are capable of self-government. If a people are not capable of Institutiner povernment that will protect the equal rights of all. then these people have no right or power cf consent as to how government shall be instituted. In republican government the phrase "consent of the governed" simply means acquiescence in the will of the majority. Who is it that will say that the Filipinos are to-lay capable of instituting and maintaining republican government? Who will say that they are an order-loving law-abid.rsj people that can submit public Questions to a popular vote and then the whole bodv cf the people abide the result? It is a ion road that the Filipinos must travel, and uphill all the way, before they arrive at such a social condition and attain to such a schooling in governmental matters that they will have an ingrained love of law and order, and such an appreciation of the rights of life, liberty and property that they can institute and maintain a Jut government deriving Its powers from the consent of the governed. Aguinaldo's authority is not based on the consent of the governed. He Is an autocrat, a military dictator. The Filipinos, not being capable of self-government, Agulnaldo was not concerned about thf ir consent. He could safely assume autocratic powers, and only have to maintain his authority against other aspiring Filipino military chieftains. The qualities which our antl-expanslonlsts to much admire in the Filipino leaders are shown in the incident of the disagreement between General Luna and Agulnaldo. Luna was something of an autocrat himself, and he made a visit to the would-be chief to accommodate or reconcile their differences to his own view of the matters of contention, or make Aguinaldo's life the forfeit of his noncompliance. Agulnaldo anticipated him. intercepted him near his lAguinaldo's) headquarters by an armed party, and General Luna has gone to the moon or somewhere else, where he can no longer contest or question Aguinaldo's authority fo rule an1 govern without the consent of the governed. The Lincolnlan idea of "government of the people, by the people, for the people" has no place in the minds of the people of the Orient. It Is the high mission of th American people to give the people of th East lessons in human rights and Just government. Hoke Smith is authority for the statement that the people of the Southern States are almost unanimously against expansion, and that they base their opposition to the war with the Filipinos on tl. fact that they are fighting for freedom as our fathers of the revolution fought for freedom. Such is not the fact. There is no parallel. The colonies had lonjr had e!fgovemment, were possessed of the highest capabilities for Instituting and maintaining Just and free government. The Filipinos, for near 400 years, have been the degraded, debased and ignorant subjects of the Spanish monarchy. Under tho centuries of Spanish oppression the idea is imbedded in mind and body that might is right, and that h who has power and does not wield it tn his own purposes, regardless of what we think honeoty and Justice, is a weakling who should be despised. Ths Insincerity of those Southern antiexpansionists is manifested in their presfnt methods employed to put millions of the citizens of those States under a constitutional ban, denying them a voice iii th matters of government. Minions of colored people in the South are not asked their consent to the laws that govern them. In these States where the law does not deny the colored man a o!ce in government violence and Intimidation accomplish the purpose of putting them under government without their consent. I do not refer to this action of Southern people to question its necessity or rightfulness. Their action is based upon the opinion that the masses of the colored people In those States are not capable of Intelligently exercising the franchises of freemen. In this they are recognizing the principle as Just and politic, on which the government of the united States is acting in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. GEORGE W. ALLISON. Nashville. Ind., July 23. A COXVEItT TO rnOTECTIOV. An Interesting Statement About KxMayor Grace, of w York. New York Letter in Philadelphia Press. Mr. Grace was quoted as saying (to Gn. Tracy): "I myself, within the past year, have changed my views completely, and I say to you that I am now convinced that the prosperity and stupendous growth of this country is due In no small measure to the principle which Is at the bottom of the policy of protection." A confession like this was so amazing that it seemed almost as though General Tracy must have misunderstood Mr. Grace, and so Mr. Grace was souRht. "Yes. 1 did tell General Tracy that." he said, "and I have recently felt free to say it to others. I was never ashamed of my convictions when they were in perfect sympathy with the tariff views expressed by Mr. Cleveland in his famous message, and with those held by the great body of the Democratic party, and I am not ashamed now to say that In the light of recent events I have completely changed those views, and now see, as I believe. cKarly that the amaring growth in all that make for permanently prosperous conditions and In all Influences that have so recently established the United States as a first power among the nations of the world, not only politically, but financially and commercially. Is due In great measure to the policy of protection. T never dreamed that the time would come when I rhould be willing to make an admission of this kind. But facts are stronger than theories, and the fact remains that in the past six years we have had abundant proof that there is some fallacy, so far as the United States is concerned. In the doctrine which the Democratic party held and which Mr. Cleveland Sroclaimed in his message, and on the ether and there was truth in the claims made by McKInley. by Dingley, by Morrill and by the other great protectionists, and so. understanding this. I am ready to say that I now see the truth." . m . Mr. Grace adds that he Is now satisfied, that much of the opposition to protection was due to the fact that in every protective tariff law there were many cases of gross Injustice and unfairness, but the mistake was made of not seeing that errors of this kind did not vitally affect the bottom principle of the protective policy when applied to a country like the United States. If a man with i.the character of William R. Grace has come to this opinion It Is fair to Infer that many Democrats may be brought to this view. and. in fact, one very distinguished Democrat, in commenting on this assertion of ex-Mayor Grace, said: Thex are a good many others who are rapidly getting the name Insight and understanding, but who are not ready yet to make confession of it. as Mr. Gract has done."
