CBOWD IN TJTICA LAST NIGHT WHERE THERE WAS A BIG DEMONSTRATION IN 'TEDDY'S'' HONOR. Vigorous Reply to Bryan's Statement that an Army Is Wanted to Intimidate the People. UTICA, N. Y., Oct. 2i.-Governor Roosevelt's, third day of campaigning In New York State embraced several features not heretofore marked In his reception at other places. At nearly every place at which he stopped en route there were huge crowds of people. In this city to-night, instead of speechmaking, the day's work ended with a reView of an immense demonstration. This was entirely agreeable to Governor Roosevelt, who, during the day, had made nine rpeeches, some of them extremely long ones, while traveling through three counties Chenango, Madison and Oneida. The second feature of the day's trip was the meeting here of the vice presidential candidate and United States Senator Depew and the grouping together on one stage In this city, within a period of three hours, of ex-Controller uf the Currency Eckels, United States Senator Depew and Governor Roosevelt. The third feature was a preconcerted attempt at Rome to compel Governor Roosevelt to answer questions concerning the letter of Mayor Van Wyck. the prosecution of the ice trust, the prosecution of the alleged canal thieves and others relating to the office of Governor. That this attempt was preconcerted is assured, from the fact that men In the- crowd asked questions, holding in their hands printed slips, and on their failure to comi-el the candidate to answer, numbers of the slips were thrown Into his carriage. The Governor positively declined to give any expression of opinion as to the circulars or their authorship or to answer any of the questions contained In them. ; With the exception of a short trip of half an hour to Herkimer, where a brief address was made, the culminating speeches of the day were at two Immense meetings in this city. Senator Depew, preceding the Governor, spoke at some length on trusts. Governor Roosevelt followed and said: There is always a certain disadvantage In following Senator Depew, and I think I deserve considerable consideration for keeping an unmoved countenance while ho made the speech I Intended to make about trusts. So I shall have to speak to you on a little different linn than I had intended to. 1 agree with Senator Depew that I want no Detter ammunition than that which Mr. Bryan furnishes day by day, except I would add, that which he furnishes in his speeches four years ago. HOW IS THIS. MR. BRYAN? "Mr. Bryan said, yesterday, in answer to a Question, that if he had been President he would not have signed the treaty of peace by which the Philippine islands became ours. He went on to Congress and advised that that treaty should be ratified by the Senate; he did all he could to have It ratified, and now he dares to say that i um ui iiu signea u. ir his words mean anything supposing that they do mean anything-they must mean that he wished President McKinley to dr xvha , himself would not have dared to do. und .Ü v J ; , i . iviur M)ins inat rnust be ui nr vtisneu iresiaent .McKinley to take mi utuun wiiicu couui attack in the cam aww. mal i-enis incredible. I would not have believed anv man .vrt have said it of Mr. Bryan, but I have got to believe it when Mr. Bryan savs it hUi Mr. Loan has been about the country denouncing our little regular army, our gallant little army, and as a leader of that kind always draws followers, Mr. Bryan has had adherents who have gone about ml omie rtptHunK Pianaorous falsehood. which they knew to be slanderous false..wvij wjch in-1, inane mem mat our army !n the Philippines was an army of fnuiucrrrs anu ravisner?, mit It had been doing foul wrong there. Mr. Bryan has am inai me purpose or creating the pres uv mi my was io pui u in iorce near our groac cities tov overawe the worklngman 1 hould laugh at that Ktatftnent If my blood did r.ot burn with indignation that nny man should make it and yet bo a candidate for the highest office In the sift or tue American people. That army w;is joieu ior not only by Republicans but ry Aemocrars. nan tl.e Democrats in the House voted for It. for the Knn? ritv convention had not yet made the dishonor f the flag one of the cardinal principles of their policy, and I will guarantee th.it not one single man of them dreamed of such a purpose when he nt his vote. The thing Is monstrous and absurd on its face The army was created to meet the exigencies of the Spanish war and the Philippine struggle that succeeded the Spanish war. As u matter of fact, the army U not in this country at the present time. For the last three years the army ha been a terror to the Spaniards, the Aguinaldoan Malays, the Chines JJoxers. and in this country only the sympathizers with thoso three classes have had cause to feel uneasy about it. "Down in New York city, not far from where I live- there have leen for a century forts In which United States regulars have been placed, and during that entire time on no one occasion has a siegle regular arpared In New York city In connection with any labor trouble of any kind, ort or description. Why, n Buffalo they have a fort near them, and there Is &. burning 1-iue us regard tM.it ten In Buffalo, ar:d that lisue is as to

because more troops mean larger markets for that neighborhood. There 19 no on In the neighborhood of any fort In tftu country who is so foolish as to be affected by the r.f-rvou.-ness which Mr. Bryan seems to feel." IMPERIALISM A SPECTER. Referring to the cry of Imperialism, Governor Roosevelt pronounced it a "threat to awe people a ghost they ure attempting to raise to frighten political children." Turning again to the army, the Governor spoke of its recent deeds In Cuba, the Philippines and China, and in conclusion said 'There are a few feeble folks about that may be frightened, but the bulk of the American people are not feeble folks; they don't grow that way." At Earlville, where the first stop of the day was made, the Governor took up the statement of Mr. Bryan that the people of Porto Rico, and particularly the blacks, were disfranchised. lie said: "I challenge Mr. Bryan because of his absurd Insincerity as shown in this State by answers he made to certain questions and statements he has made to us. The other day Mr. Bryan was asked how he reconciled his demand for self-government for Malay bandits with the denial of his party the denial of those who intend to give him electoral votes of the right of self-government to our fellow-citizens of duskier skin In North Carolina, and he answered that every one was not allowed to vote In Porto Rico, that all men of color were not allowed to vote in Porto Rico. Now, I say, that answer was utterly insincere; that, using the word dishonest In Its largest sense, it was not an honest answer. That is a serious thing to say, and I would not eay it if I could not prove it by documentary evidence. Mr. Bryan either knows or ought to know the qualifications of the suffrage in Porto Rico. There is not in Porto Rice the slightest restriction on account of color. Every man Is treated on hi3 worth as a man. In North Carolina the black man is disfranchised as such by qualifications that apply to him and not to the white man. In Porto Rico a man Is allowed to vote. I have got here papers Is sued by the Governor of Porto Rico setting forth the qualifications of voters. If he either possesses any property or can read and write, whether he is white or colored, he may vote. In Massachusetts he has got to be able to read and write. That is, there are men who cannot vote in Massachusetts but can vote in Porto Rico; but any man who can vote in Massachusetts can vote' in Porto Rico. In short, the present conditions of suffrage In Torto Rico represents a stride towards enfranchisement." BRYAN INSINCERE. Governor Rooseelt took particular delight along the route to-day in asserting that Mr. Bryan was absolutely Insincere, as was proved, he alleged, by the fact that the State of Nebraska had no labor laws and that Mr. Bryan, while in Congress, never attacked a trust. At Earlville Governor Roosevelt found a great gathering of people, despite the threatening weather. When the train arrived Senator Henry J. Coggshall was addressing the assemblage. In addition to things the Governor has already said, he (CONTINUED ON FIFTH PAGE.) PROSPERITY BANQUET HARVEST HOME FESTIVAL AT THE CHICAGO COLISEUM.

No business man will risk his capital In any venture If those clouds arise, and that will be the condition just as soon as there Is any change in the present administration. Mr. Bryan has descended to the lowest plane of demagogy when he attempts to array emploj-er against employe, labor against capital. It Is a significant fact to me; It means sure defeat, because nothing but desperation of demagogy would drivo a man who aspircs to the highest olllcc in this country to such arguments, lie 1 sowing the seed of anarchism and socialism. He is driving apart these great forces of capital and labor which, united, are productive of our development. In doing that he is doing violence to the good sense of the people.

DUrALLTUVG NOTE TELLER ALVORD CAXXOT BC LOCATED. No Trace of the BInn Who Robbed the First National Hank of Nevr York of $700,000. POSSIBLY TOOK HIS OWN LITE IXTI3IATE FRIEND OF OPINION THAT HE C03IM1TTED SUICIDE. Not Absent from tbe Hank One Day Tbl Year, and. Therefore, Did Not Play Races Recently HIS METHODS EXPLAINED STATEMENT FROM THE ACTING CONTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. An Elaborate System of Dook Doctoring That Misled Everybody List of Ills Possessions. NEW YORK, Oct. 24. The whereabouts of Cornelius Lansing Alvord, jr., who looted the First National Bank to the exent of $700,000, is unknown, and his handsome home at Mount Verncn is being closely watched by detectives. Mrs. Alvord left her home In Mount Vernon and came to this city this morning. It Is said she does not intend to return to Mount Vernon. It was larned to-day that when the Alvords went t; Saratoga last summer they took with them all their horses and carriages. It took two cars to transport the outfit. The horses were blooded animals and the vehicles were all of the handsomest description. One set of harness alone is said to have cost $1.500, arid everything about the stable equipment was on the same scale. Many friends of Alvord in Mount Vernon believe he has committed suicide. John II. Murphy, one of the banker's most intimate friends, said to-day that he firmly believed that Alvord had taken his own life. "He Is Just the sort of a man who would do such a thing," said Mr. Murphy. "While he is phlegmatic and apparently takes matters as they come, he is in reality a sensi tive man. , I wish, as his personal friend, to deny the story current that there was another woman in whom he was interested. He was deeply attached to his wife and family, and did not associate with a fast set." STATEMENT BY THE BANK. The following supplementary statement was given out by the First National Bank officials: "Alvord's false entries appear to have commenced about five years ago. One of his duties was to collect drafts and notes not payable through the clearing house, a considerable part of these usually being paid in cash. He appropriated a portion of this cash from time to time, as opportunity offered, before any of it was turned over to the money clerk. The discrepancy was concealed by adding to the item of 'exchanges for clearing house on the note teller's balance book an amount equal to the sum of abstractions. Until his recent disappearance Alvord had not been absent from the bank during one business day this year. He did not take his usual vacation last summer, requesting instead he might take a month next winter for a trip to California." The Interesting feature of the supplementary statement is the positive assertion that Alford had not been absent from the bank one business day this year. Mr. Hine repeated this statement orally after an examination of the time books, in which every day's leave of absence by any of the employes of the bank is entered. This contradicts the numerous reports that Alvord was a regular attendant and heavy bettor at tho Saratoga races this last eea son. The paragraph in the same statement explaining how Alvord operated was shown to several experienced bank officials. The enly point made clear to them was that Alvord's opportunity camo chiefly in his handling of the bank's cash as collector and also that it has been admitted thai he always carried cash balances. An important official of one of the leading banks said: "In every bank of importance there are what is known as thre-3 tellers. The first is the paying teller, the s-econd the receiving teller and the third the note teller. This last was ostensibly Alvord's position, but in reality his pow ers wero much greater. In most banks the note teller is obliged to adjust his balances after the close of every day's business, and-his accounts should be checked off b his cJerks and "rroved" by the other tellers. Had this system obtained at tho First National I do not see how Alvord could have worked his game longer than for a few months at tho utmost." It was also contrary to custom, this bank officer declared, to put a no.te teller in charge of the bank's clearing house settlements, particularly where such operations must have been on a very extensive scale. THE BANK'S MAIL LARGE. The First National Bank has correspondents In almost every city of any size In the country, so that Its mail from correspondents is always very large. In some cities, Philadelphia, for instance, the numlor of its correspondents is more than half a dozen. All through Pennsylvania, in the ccal, iron and oil districts, it has representative banks as correspondents, and its mall Is probably larger than that of any one banking institution in this city. According to Vice President Hine, while Alvord handled a great deal of the money that' camo into the bank, he had nothing to do with the moneys that were dispatched to interior correspondents. In spite of many rumors, some of them very circumstantial, it may be positively stated that the officials of the bank have no definite Idea just what Alvord did with the large sum of money hö stole.' That much of it went In high living and 'luxuries for his family is clear, but the bank officials believe that less than one-fourth of his pllferlngs went In that way. "Wall street is fuil of stories telling how the defaulter was a heavy loser in the stocrt market, and although the bank officers refuse to discuss that phase of the matter, there Is no doubt that their detectives are looking into It, and if Aivord'a broker or brokers caa bo

found they will be made to disgorge, if that should be possible. In Wall street the opinion prevails that

Alvord was a superior defaulterthat is to say, he was cleverer than the average of his kind. He probably realized that the majority of his rivals of the past got away with very little money. Banking men were disposed to believe to-day that probably Alvcrd managed to make his escape with several hundred thousand dollars. It was also thought possible that the Schreiber (Ellzabethport) defalcation helped to uncover Alvord's operations. Becoming nervous and apprehensive over the notoriety obtained by Schreiber, Alvord failed through neglect or nervousness to check up some of his transactions, and the result was exposure. In spite of Vice President nine's denial, it is regarded as extremely probable that Alvord took a large sum of money shortly before he left. Representatives of the bank were reported as having made a still hunt among the brokerage houses in the financial district to-day, presumably for proof of the rumors that the note teller had dropped large sums in stock speculation. Whether or not they met with any success could not be ascertained. Mrs. Alvord returned from New York to her Mount Vernon home late this afternoon. The following is said to be a fair list of Alvord's possessions, all or nearly all being In the wife's name: Real estate, houst'S and lots In Mount Vernon $23,000 Lots in New Rochelle 15.000 Six carriages and six horses lö.ooo Household furniture 5,500 Paintings, bric-a-brac 10.000 Diamonds owned by Mrs. Alvord 00,000 Jewelry owned by Alvord 5,000 Total .' $100,500 DID NOT BET HEAVILY. The betting men of the local race tracks say that Alvord could not possibly have lost any great amount of money on the race track, even if he bet through com(CONTINUED ON SECOND I'AGE.) HOMACETO THE DEAD 1VELL-KNOWN TEOPLE PAY FINAL TRIBUTE TO JOHN SIIEHMAN. Members of Cabinet. Diplomats and Legislators Attend the Funeral Exercises at "Washington. SEEVICES BRIEF AND SIMPLE REJIAINS ESCORTED BY MILITARY TO RAILWAY STATION, Where the Body Was Placed on Spe cial Train and Taken to Mansfield for Interment. "WASHINGTON; Oct. 24. In the capital of the Nation, where his life work had been accomplished, there gathered to-day representatives of every government department and the representatives of many foreign powers to pay homage to the memory of John Sherman. The funeral services held here were at the Sherman home on K street, where the aged statesman had spent the greater part of the past five years and where a few weeks ago he had come with a full knowledge of his approaching end to set his earthly affairs in order. The massive black casket rested on a black draped catafalque in the parlor. The nir was heavy with the scent of roses. orchids and hothouse flowers that had come lrom all quarters as a final testimonial of affection and respect. President McKinley, who had left Wash ington the night after Mr. Sherman's death. was represented by Secretary Hay, who was one of the honorary pallbearers. From the White House conservatories there was sent a heavy wreath of white roses and crchlds. The British legation is still closed, but Lord Pauncefote sent a heavy wreath of white roses. It was a notable gathering that filled the hallway and parlors of the residence, the most representative perhaps at any funeral here since the funeral of General Lawton last spring, when much the same concourse of officials and diplomats gath ered to honor the soldier dead as met to day in memory of the statesman whose services, though in a different line, , had been equally as distinguished. The services at the house were simple They began af 1 p. m. and were conducted by Rev. Alexander Mackay-Smlth, pastor of St. John's Episcopal Church, assisted by Rev. E. M. Taddock, assistant rector. Concealed in the rear of the hallway a quartet of the St. John's choir, accompanied by the organist, H. H. Freeman, sang in the intervals of the services. After the hymn "Rock of Ages" Rev. MackaySmlth read the simple but impressive funeral service of the Episcopal Church. When the reading of the service was finished tho choir softly sang the hymn "Peace, Perfect Peace." In accordance with the Episcopal usage there was no fureral address, and after a brief prayer tho choir chanted the anthem "Lord. let me know my end and the number of my days." The casket was then lifted by the bearers, with the honorary pallbearers following, and carried from the house, where the home battalion of the Fifth Cavalry, with its mounted band, and the Second Artillery, all under Colonel Rafferty, wailed to escort it to the railway station. The honorary pallbearers, who were grouped about the coffin during the ceremony, were Secretary Hay, Secretary Gage, Justice Harlan, or the Supreme Court, Admiral Dewey, Gen. Nelson A. Miles, ex-Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, Justice Hagner, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. Judge Bancroft Davis, J. A. Kasson, of the State Department, and Col. M. M. Parker.

STRIKE TO END

PRESIDENT MITCHELL MAY DE CLARE IT OFF THIS AFTERNOON. Announces He Will Issne n Statement Definlnc tbe Attitude of the United Mine Workers. MEETING HELD YESTERDAY WHEN OFFICERS OF THE L'NION CON SIDERED THE SITUATION. Required Notice Posted by Abont 75 Per Cent, of tbe Operntor in the Haileton District. - ANOTHER CONFERENCE TO-DAY AT WHICH SEVERAL MINOR QUESTIONS WILL BE DISCUSSED. Coal Carrying Companies Considering Freight Rntea In View of Probable End of the Strike. HAZLETOK, Pa.. Oct. 2I.-President Mitchell to-night announced that he would, to-morrow, probably late In the afternoon or evening, issue a statement denning the position of the United Mine Workers In the present situation of the strike. He also Laid that his statement would In all likelihood indicate whether the strike would be immediately declared off or whether it would be continued. This announcement was made as a result of to-day's conference between the national and district officers of the United Mine "Workers. The Impression around headquarters to-night Is that the statement will contain practically a declaration that the contest is ended. Coal companies controlling about 75 per cent, of the anthracite coal product, it is learned, have posted notices, but President Mitchell will not say that all of them comply with the terms of the Scranton convention. The big companies in this district that have not posted the notices are the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, G. B. Markle & Co. and Coxe Brothers & Co. The Markles have granted no Increase of wages of any kind. To-day's conference was In session three hours and was .adjourned until to-morrow morning. President Mitchell at its con clusion announced that the situation was partly canvassed and that the review would bo completed to-morrow. The conference discussed plans as to what should bo done in the event of one or more of the ccal companies declining to grant the demand of the miners as set forth In the resolutions. adopted at the Scranton convention. No definite conclusion was, however, arrived at. Mr. Mitchell declined to say whether the statement of the United Mine Workers that no man will be p2rmitted to return to work unless they all go In together still holds good. The notice posted by several of the larger companies In the Lackawanna and Wyoming regions to-day announcing that the mine workers will be given 2 cents on every car or ton in order to make up the 10 per cent. Increase came in for much consideration at the conference. When the conference adjourned this evening this matter was still under discussion. Freight Rates to Be Considered. SCRANTON, Pa., Oct. 2I.-In expectation of the strike being settled to-morrow, representatives of the coal carrying companies and the independent coal operators are to confer In Philadelphia to-morrow to arrive at some understanding in the matter of freight rates. T. II. Watkins, Rees S. Brooks and E. C. Fuller, of this city, representing the operators, left tonight for Philadelphia. The independent operators for years have been demanding C3 per cent, of the tidewater price for their product instead of CO per cent., as allowed them. Now, when the action of the big companies forces them to increase their expense of mining about 4 per cent., they insist on their long-standing claim being acceded to. POISONED BY DYE. Senator Cnshman K. Davis Forced to Undergo a Second Operation. ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 21.Senator Cushman K. Davis, who has been suffering for the past month from blood poisoning, underwent a second operation this afternoon which I. Is thought will obviate the necessity for the amputation of one or more of his toes. The senator's foot has been very much swollen and he has suffered acutely, but after to-day's operation his condition was materially Improved, and it is now believed that his recovery will be rapid. While campaigning In the East Senator Davis suffered a slight abrasion of the foot. The dye from his hose entered this and caused the complication that ensued. MORE VICTIMS OF A EEUD. David Philpot Killed nnd Two Others Seriously Wounded. LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 24. Another feud has broken out in Clay county between the Thllpots and tho deputy sheriffs under Sheriff Ben White, headed by the friendd of Felix Davidson on-the other side. Monday David Davidson, father of Felix Davidson, the deputy who was killed by a Philpot a few weeks ago, was killed, and several others wounded in a fight in front of White's store. Davidson and his friends were drinking and threatened to get even with the Thllpots. when one of the latter proposed to settle' the trouble then and there. David Thilpot fell dead and two others were badly wounded. BATTLESHIP LAUNCHED. New Russian., War Vessel, the Lara-est Ever Rullt In the United States. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 24.

It was learned here to-day that two negroes, James Grier and James Calloway, were lynched by white farmers, near Liberty Hill, in Pike county. While out hunting, they shot recklessly Into a farmer's house, frightening a young white woman. A Eton also reaches here of a lynching near Wellston. in Houston county. Last week, a negro was lynched at that place for assault on a white woman. Sunday another negro assaulted a girl of his own race. The man was captured and negroes of the vicinity asked the white citizens to let them have him. This was compiled with and the negro was lynched in the woods. TO BE CAGED IN IRON. Cleveland Ncjrro, Who Killed n Polleeman and Was Arrested Here. CLEVELAND, O., Oct 24. An Iron cage will be built in the Criminal Court room for Edward Ruthven, the negro, who will bo placed on trial there next Monday for the murder of Tatrolman Shipp. Ruthven is a desperate man. At the time Shipp was killed he escaped from a score of policemen who were pursuing him in a long running pistol fight. If he had not been overcome by strategy he would doubtless have killed tome of the men who later captured him in Indianapolis. The cage will be provided to prevent a tigerish outbreak on his part In the courtroom. RAN INTO A LANDSLIDE. Freight Train Wrecked, Two Men Killed and Three Injured. SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct. 24.

Alleged to Be Circulating Falsehoods, Like In Previous Campaigns, for Sinister Purposes. ADDRESS FROM JO A. PARKER TO THE ''.MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD VOTERS OF THE COUNTRY. All Urged to Stand Firm nnd Not Be Deceived by the Untruths of BrjnuUed Democracy. CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 24. Jo A. Parker, chairman of the national committee of the Middle-of-the-roaders, to-day gave out th? following address "to the true Populists of the United States:" "This memorable campaign Is drawlns rapidly to a close, and in the last hours of the struggle I wish to send to the true and loyal Populists of this Nation, who have struggled during the dark years of defeat and treachery for the life of our beloved party, a message of good cheer. Four years ago w. .. were shamefully betrayed by those wh m we had instrusted with power, our organization given into the hands of our political enemies, and our frturdy voters delivered like sheep In the open market. The great principles of true populism were prostituted that the srred of political pirates might be satisfied with power and plunder. To-day our organization is once again In the hands of true Populists, who will never surrender it to either of the old parties. There are electoral tickets in thirty States, and the opportunity is thus afforded all true Populists in those States to vote their conscientious sentiments a privilege which perfidy and political dishonesty denied them In 1S36. "The vote to be cast for this ticket may not be as great as that of IS'jO, but it will be large enough io demonstrate beyond the shadow of a doubt that our party is not dead: that the false leaders of the past did not kill it. This campaign has accomplished this much, and more, the election in November will put an end to the disastrous policy of fusion forever. This ttlone is a great victory for true Populism. With our party organization once more in the hands of our friends, and with fusion dead and damned forever, we can go forward on the old lines to the victory which awaits the true, the vigilant and the brave. "Let me warn you against the politlca liars who will seek to lniiuence you against the People's party. In U01 when our party began its wonderful growth the Democratic politicians on the eve of election sprang the most infamous lies agahut our presidential candidate, which threw our rank.? into confusion and consternation. Since then they have taken that same candidate to their bosom and made him one of their great national leaden, thus making on open confession of their glanders of IV-' and admitting their disreputable purports in circulating their calumnies. It was not General Weaver whom they struck in P. J, but the People's party which thty struck with an assas5in' blow. In 1W they bought out our leaders and slandered thos whom they could not buy. "In h00 they are beginning already the same tactics. Their alleged exposures in Ohio are examples of their method. Mn destitute of principle and honor will t: reded on for a consideration to svfkr away the character of the people's party. You may expect lic, lies. lies, without number, made Just like the lies sgain.U Weaver, and for the same sinister purpose. "To destroy the People's party, to drive you back into the ranks of th plutocratic parties, is the desifin of It all. You may expect to have the good name of your nominees ofsailed and the motives of your party leaders questioned. Let these lies come: let these assaults be made, but above and beyond all, remember that you have In your keeping the life of the People's party and the hope of humanity. Let nothing deter you from doing your whole duty in the work of raving the I'eople's party at the coming election. Yours for true reform. JO A. PAHKKIt. Chairman." Obituary. LONDON. Oct. 25. Rer.

Charge that Troops Are to Be Quartered in Forts Nenr Cities Shown to Be Unfounded CANTON, O., Oct. 21.-Secretary Rooff meeting here to-night was aa Impromptu affair. It was conceived, arranged and under way in a period of a little more than ten hours. The secretary arid Mrs. Root are here for a social visit with the McKinleys at their Canton home. The recent illness and present condition cf the secretary has prevented him from taking an active speaking part In the campaign, but ho did come West expecting to deliver one address, and that in the old McKinley district. The meeting was announced for Youngstown to-morrow evening, but as a mark of respect to the late ex-Secretary Sherman all political meetings arranged for Ohio on Thursday and Thursday night were called off. Including the one at Youngstown. When the local committee heard of these circumstances they prevailed on the secretary to speak here. Their efforts resulted In a crowded hall and a most enthusiastic meeting. The Grand Army Band and tha Canton Republican League marched to the McKinley home to escort the secretary. An immense crowd followed and there was an enthuisiastic Invasion of the McKinley lawn. The President himself escorted the secretary to the carriage, elbowing his way down the dark walk and then across the lawn to the side street, where the band was stationed. He bowed his thanks for the Impromptu serenade and then retired to the porch, amid deafening cheers. Secretary Root delivered an exhaustive address, covering all questions Involved in the campaign. He was frequently interrupted by applause. A TimnADBARB CHARGE. In his opening remarks Secretary Root referred to the "security, opportunity, confidence and activity of trade and labor," which he declared were the fruits of good government alone, and which the American people secured for themselves when In 116 they committed the lowers or government to McKinley and to a Republican Congress. He.spoke of the "comiteney and effectiveness" of President McKinley' dealings with other powers In the various international questions which have arisen, and declared that the logic of events had proved that the American people were right when they rejected Mr. Bryan in IVMi. The lVmcxratic charge cf Imperialism, he declared, iu a try that "is one of the cheaiwet and most threadbare of the demagogue's stock, altvays certain to produce a pensatlou among a people alert lor the protection wf lluir liberties." What President McKinley had done in the Pbilipi'lrjcs, Secretary Root ßiid, "has been to defend and assert the sovereignty of th United States, acquired with th assent oi both parties and of both candidates for the presidency, with the means placed In his hands by Congress." Jle declared that it was impossible for this government to have yielded the sovereignty of the United States In the Philippines to the itrmea Tagalogs, whose hands were red with the blood of American soldiers. Sdf-rj-p ct forbade it, national honor forbade it, tho whole world would have condemned and despised us if v.e had done it." He added: "The testimony Is overwhelming that tho people Inhabiting the Philippine archipelago are Incapable of ndf-goytrnmc nt. Mobt of them have not the llr.-t toncepli-m of tthat telf-BOVcrnment nit ans, or the tirt qualification of its exe rcise. Many of thtta have the capacity to learn, but they havs never learned." to bi: tbi:ati:i) as citizijns. The secretary declared that the trus proposition is the iret!5e revmc of tho charge that the excrcite of government mu?.t Lc over the icop!c of the Philippine isdandd as subjects, not a citizen, which txerci.e of power over other, it was contended, would be destructive to our national character and institutions. The government of the Philippine Islands he continued, would not affect the character of our institutions, but the character of our Institutions would determine and mold lh government of the Philippine Islands. "To goern as a despot would be fatal to the character of a republic, but to govern as Congrcbs always has and always will goven in territory outside of the limits of the States, in accordance ith the tplrlt cf our institutions, subject io all the grat rules of liberty and light, and re ions.ibls for every act to a great llberty-lovlr.g xeople, can but extend and strengthen our Institutions. I will not say that the men who are encouraging the Filipino soldiers hra are traitors to their country. I do not thinlx they know what it Is they do. But I think, with Justice, that the men who are reviling and belittling America hero and the men who ure shooting from ambuh there, ars oilicj 14 the rams taute, and both r
