Earnings of Labor Never So Great; Earnings of Capital Never So Small Fixity of Natural Laws. CHICAGO, Feb. 1C George E. Roberts, director of the mint, 'was the guest of honor at the meeting of the Bankers Club, this evening, and delivered an address which was greeted with many manifestations of applause and appreciation by the members of the club and their guests. Speeches were also made by a number of local financiers. James II. Eckels, ex-controller of the treasury, presided and introduced Mr. Roterts. In closing Mr. Roberts said: "It is the common error of those who attack the existing order of society to treat of distribution as' now of more importance than production. Their schemes ail sacrifice productive capacity for theoretical equities in distribution. But the real problem is how to get more from nature. Careful statisticians have estimated that the total production of wealth for even so efficient a' population as that of the United States, including the yield of the soil, the output of the mines and all the earnings of capital, scarcely exceeds $2 per day for every person engaged in gainful occupations. Within that limit all debate over what is a living wage is necessarily confined. It is only, by raising the total that any substantial amelioration of conditions can be obtained, and so it is to the advantage of everybody in an ellghtened and progressive society to have the most economical methods adopted and the stock of available wealth increased, because all that is saved Immediately begins to contribute to the output. Such enterprises as your drainage canal, the underground railway In New York and the isthmian canal, not to speak of the great Industrial investments of the time, are only possible in an (era of great wealth. "It is impossible to prevent these gains of industrial progress from eventually reaching the masses as it is to prevent the waters from reaching the sea. It is determined by forces as certain as gravity. It is determined by the fact that capital, to find remunerative employment, must enter the service of the masses. It must furnish something for their use and that they can afford to buy. But their buying power is limited, and thus it follows "that increased supplies of capital must be accompanied by increased purchasing power In the masses or the new wealth will go without employment. As the owners of the- last capital on the market will never consent to be excluded from all earnings, it Is Inevitable that the new capital will compete with the old and thus enlarge the purchasing power of the millions by reducing the earnings of wealth. "That is the law of the distribution of we'alth, tested and demonstrated in centuries of progress. While I would not depreciate the usefulness of fraterlal organizations as a means of protecting Individuals and for ameliorating the conditions of wage earners, the great and beneficent natural forces that distribute the benefits of progress to organized and unorganized labor alike to the servant in the kTlchen and the isolated laborer on the farm ought always to be recognized. They give a sense of security, of confidence and of good cheer." FREIGHT RATES DISCUSSED. Conference of Itnllvray Magnates AVIiose Line Enter St. Lonis. CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 1C The presidents and general managers of certan connecting and co-operating railways were In executive session to-day at the Big Four officers trying to adjust certain differences In. east-bound freight rates from St. Louis.

CUBANS LACK HARMONY

IMPORTANT I'Ol.MS OF THE CONSTITUTION NOT SETTLED. Quarreling; Over the Proposition to Grant Naval Stations to United States Giberea' Speech. HAVANA, Feb. 16. The Cuban constitutional convention held a secret session lasting several hours this afternoon considering the question of the future relations between the United States and the Republic of Cuba. The committee which met Governor General Wood at Batabano offered no formal report, but asked that the matter be considered in committee of the whole. A majority of the delegates opposed the granting to the United States of the right to maintain naval stations in Cuba and a large number favored leaving the relation? between the United States and Cuba for the future republic to Fettle. The right of the United States to intervene at any time for the preservation of peace was also the rubject of a strong discussion. The questions of regulating loans and the foreign relations developed no opposition. Senor Glberga presented a formulation of the relations adopted by the Democratic rarty at a meeting last night, allowing the United States to Intervene with reference to all loans and treaties, for the preservation of peace, to keep an army here If necessary, and to maintain naval stations, and providing furthermore that If these cencessions are not satisfactory that the United States may draw up others that are. Senor Giberga said that such relations were advocated by every property holder, and pleaded with the delegates not to be led by political sentiment wherd the welfare of the island is at stake. No vote was taken and a further discussion will be had on Monday. One of the delegates, in the course of an Interview, said that the convention would never agree to allow the United States to establish and maintain naval stations, as the people look upon this concession as unpatriotic and a practical giving up of their independence. The only way the United States can obtain this right, the delegate said, would be by insisting on the concession, the responsibility for making which the convention does not want to take. NASH'S WAR ON PUGILISM. Ohio's Governor Now Turning Ills Attention to Second-Class Doxers. COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 16. Governor Nash was asked for an expression in regard to the prize fight between Jack Bonner and Billy Hannehan at Youngstown, O. He said he had first noticed the afiair in the newspapers this morning, having been so busy with the Cincinnati affair that he had not bad time to give attention to the smaller jugllistic events. Jle considered tin Youngstown contest of the character of which he did not propose to permit if he could help it. He had no doubt that when he took the matter up with the mayors of the different cities that an underitandlng would bo reached and co-operation be arranged whereby all such contests would be suppressed. It is the Governor's intention, as soon as he can find the time available, to prepare a circular letter to the mayors and probably to tha sheriffs of the different counties also, calling their attention to the decision of the courts at Cincinnati and asking that they assist him in preventing in the future thj holding of prize fights at any point in the State of Ohio. It is probale the letter will be prepared and forwarded some tme next week. Trouble on the Stacre. CINCINNATI, Feb. lG.-Tom Sharkey, who Is sparring at a local theater here, got into a little difficulty with William Costello, a horse trader, at the theater to-night.

According to the Iowa editor's story the man said to be Pat Crowe came to his home after 11 o'clock at night, was admitted, was given food and was permitted to sleep there until just before daylight. The man, according to the Iowa editor, was In a state of abject fear, and seemed all but hopeiess of avoiding the officers who arsearching for him. In this alleged confession the fugitive is reported to have stated that he could no longer trust those who had been his friends, owing to the big reward offered for his apprehension, and that he knew not which way to turn. The fugitive told the editor, the story says, that the few hours sleep In the latter's house was the first unbroken rest that he had had for weeks. The fugitive Is reported as having explained that his only object in remaining in this vicinity was to secure the buried treasure, and that so great was his fear of detection that he could not come to the point of going after it.
