Arriving tli 1 mn.iiiK, ho was the orator if the day at the formal opening of the Minnesota Stat' fair, by invitation of the Ilrinesota Agricultural S iety. shook a thousand hands at a recrption following the exercises, was th-' fiueM of the Fair s.- iatlon at lunch n the grounls and reviewed tie- Thiid Infantry and First .Artillery. Minnesota Nati.jjial (lu.trd. l'oo:'l ito.isevelt t.eup!el the julV ft.ir.d at th- rate track with tlencral Miles, jr-l. bishop Ireland and Governor Van Haut, of Minnesota. The pranl stand was liurully ieked. and wiien (Jovtrnor Van Sant. in intrnduelng Ro.s-velt, askcil the ladles. ti wave their hnudkerchlcfs and the l:.en to give tlirre cheers, th" result was a response whkh the Vice President will long remember. The audleme was responsive throuchuut th Vi-e Presidents h1hess. and he had frequently to pause before he could make himself heard, lie ?aid In part: " cannot pssihly lo our best work as a nation unless all of us know how to net in combination as vll im to act each imliidu.ally f.r himself. This acting in combination cn take many forms, but. of course, it most effective form must be when it comes in shape of law that is, of action by the community as n whole through the law-making body. No hard-and-fast rul can be laid down as to where our legislation shi!l stop in interfering between man anil man, between interests and interest.. All that cm lie said Is that it is highly undesirable, on the one hand, to weaken individual Initiative, and, on the other, that in constantly increasing number of cases we shall ilnd it necespry in the future to shackle cunning ns In the past wa have shackled force. It is not highly desirable, but necessary, that there should be legislation Which shall carefully shield tin.? interests of wage workers, end which shall discriminate in favor of the honest and Immune employer by removing the disadvantage under which he stands when compared with bnscrupu'nu competitors who have no conscience and will lo right only under fear of punishment. Nor can legislation stop with what are termed labor questions. The vast individual and corporate fortunes, the vast i combinations of capital. which have marked the development of our industrial pystem create new conditions and necessitate a chang from the old attitude of the State and Nation toward property." There was. he contended, but the scantiest justification for most of the outcry against men of wealth, ns Puch, nnd It ought to be unnecessary, -he said, to state that any appeal which finally entails the possibility of lawlessness and violence was an attack upon the fundamental properties of American citizenship. Our Interests are fit bottom common." hv? continued. "In the long run we m ami down together. Yet mere and more it is evident that the state, and. if necessary, the nation, has got to possess the right of supervision and control as regards the great business combinations which are its creatures; particularly as reKrds the great business combinations which derive a portion of their importance from the existence of some monopolistic tendency." The Vice President was followed in a few brief remarks by (Jeneral Miles. Two hours of the afternoon were spent by the vle presidential party ia reviewing the exhibits. During the review of the troops Colonel Huosevelt. in top hat, mounted on a spirit-d animal. rod down the lines, followed by tlenrral Miles and tiovcrnor Van Sant. afterwards taking a position on the race track, whete the troops marched In review.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 2 Labor day was marked by tho largest and most imposing parade of labor unions ever seen here, and by the participation of William J. Bryan in the procession and exercises. Eight thousand men marched through the street?, grouped in their unions and each union wearing a distinguishing uniform. Mr. Bryan occupied a carriage at the head of the line and was cheered whenever recognized. In the afternoon there was speaking and athletic games at Electric Park, and to-night there were more addresses. The orator of the afternoon was William J. Bryan, who was preceded by Mayor Reed. The pavilion at tlie park was crowded to suffocation. Mr. Bryan took for his text the Bible verse, "Muzzle not the ox that treadeth out the corn." He said: "Each decade of our history shows greater production of wealth and the men who produce it have lesa to show for it. Is this good condition? A right condition? The solution of the problems that confront ua is in legislation, not in legislation for or against classes, but for equal justice before law. Tlie strike to-day is the only weapon the laborer has, but it is weak and ineilicient. If the laboring men were half as active m election elay as they are in enforcement of their strikes they would wield a force that would right the evils which betet them. "The greatest danger of to-day is private monopoly. Not that any one monopoly is worse than others, but the principle is bad which tolerates any private monopoly. "I have heard that the true solution of the problem is for the laboring men to divide the proilts with tho trusts. That has been given as an argument for tlie trusts. Such a thing would bo immoral and impolitic. It would be like dividing the spoils of the highwaymen. It would be permitting a man to rifle your pockets, and then offer to divide, the proceeds with you. To-day the only people who sympathize with you are the toilers who toll in other parts of the Lord's vineyard. In the present great steel strike, where did the lirst expressions of sympathy come from? From Texas. They have no steel mills there. They are farmers. They are tillers of the soil and laborers like yourselves. 1 want to warn you to resist the overtures ef tlie trust. Beware when corporations ask you to join them. The farmers can stand the encroachments of the trusts longer than you can. The farmers live oft! their farms. When trust prices get so high that tho farmers cannot ouy they will cat the product eef their own industry. Their wives can even go back to the primitive method of making clothes by weaving. But when the farmer can no longer pay trust prices, then there will be no demand for the products of your toil, and you can make no more wages. "The offer of the truts to divide with the laboring man is a pitfall. Can you trust the corporations to divide honestly? No. How many of you would like to try a lawsuit, when the judge on the bench is the opposing party to the suit? There are good judges, good Juries, yet elo you want judges and Juries to try your cases when they are interested in the outcome themselves? When you permit private monopoly to dictate the terms of division, then you place yourselves wholly at their mercy. You allow them to water their stock and then' expect them to divide with labor on a just basis. "You are witnessing a battle between labor -and the great steel trust. This trust was willing to unionize some of its mills, but would have others open to nonunion labor. AVhy? Because the trust wants some mills that it can depend on in the event of a strike. It is an uneejual struggle, for the trusl can shut down Its mills ror a year, but laboring men cannot live a year without work. It is your duty to crush monopolies with the best resource at your command the ballot. "Government by Injunction Is an Iniquitous system and one of the questions elemanding attention at the hands e)f the American people. The courts are the servants of the people and for a court to rule by injunction is for a court to dispense with a jury and lo condemn a man for violating a law that the court itself made. Under the process of government by injunction the court constitutes itself the power to make the laws, execute them and pass judgment on the offender. The whole thing is wrong. "Under the system a number of employes can organize themselves, go into court and get an order prohibiting others frem organizing" for the same purpose. They can get an order prohibiting worklngmen from getting other worklngmen to refrain from working. The employers can organize to crush labor, but others are: forbidden to organize. "I am opposed to government by injunction, not that it is directed especially against the laboring man, but that it does away with trial by Jury. It Is a menace not nly to one class, but to all. It is within the power of the laboring man to do away with the system." Mr. Bryan condemned the action of the South Carolina mill men. who forbade their men to celebrate Labor day or to join unions. Mr. Bryan went in a carriage from Electric Park to Shawnee Park, Kansas City, Kan., where he addressed an tpen-air meeting of lO.dvO persons, going over the same ground as In this eity. He raised a laugh at tho outset by taking a position sheltered from the sun. saying: "I've been in the shade for several months now and I'm used to it." To-night Mr. Bryan made a short address at the Democratic Club. BROKEN HEADS AM) 0SE. Savuniinh Lahor Day DrmoiiM rut Ion Knded In n Riot. SAVANNAH. Gal., Bept. 2.-Bus'mess of all kinds was practically suspended nt noon for Inbor elay. There was a parade of organized labor through the street?, in which both races participated. A feature of the parade was the fact that, t he lino was led by the negro union of brieklayers. After the parade the unions took trains for Tybee island, twenty miles distant, where the prinelpal events of the day were to occur. During the afternoon there was much bolster ou.-hess at the island and a number of Individual fights occurred. At night there- occurred what promised to become a general riot between civilians nnd soldiers from Fort Sefivcn. A call wa- sent to the fort for troops to iuell the disturbance, but for some reason there was no response. After the rioting subsided it was found there wire many broken heads and noses, but no fatalities. Accident nt OsiveKo. OSWEGO. N. Y.. Sept. 2. The celebration of Labor day here was marred by two accidents, in one of which a policeman was probably fatally injured, and in the other a number of persons badly cut and bruised.

He also sustained a broken shoulder and was badly eut and bit;i-ed. A dozen peop!? were knocked down and trampled Upon by tho hors" before it was secured. Nemr was serioe.-iy hurt, however.

The South Chicag steel workers, who refused to obcy Shaffer's order, were not Invited to participate in the demonstrations'. ' The y e njoyed themselves at a picnic arranged by their employers. A feature of tlie parade, although not observable by spectators who lined the sidewalks, was the pnlon label attached to every garment, cap and shoe worn by the marchers. A critical committee had seen te it that the parade should represent dyed-ln-t he-wool unionism, and even the horses were not allowed to march until it was shown that their shoes had been put on by union smiths.

About a fortnight ago they improved their position on Provision island, about a mile and a half from Bocas del Toro, which also is on an island, and the opposing forces havu ;ccasionally exchanged shots, although, with tho exception of one Jamaican wounded, tliero have been no casualties. Among the Liberais are several who own property in Bocas del Toro. Tlie Liberals express no desire or intention to harm the town or tj molest foreigners or freign vessels. There is easy communication hy mall with the land east and west'of Bocas del Toro. Cannon, arms and ammunition are obtained from coast towns in Costa Rica, anel Nicaragua, Bocas del Toro being about forty miles from the ejosta Rican frontier. The Liberal position is strong; and the situation is likely to remain as it Is until one side eer the other makes an attack. Such an action would subject the attacking party to the severe tire of their opponents, as it weuld be necessary to pass from Bocas del Toro to Provision Island, or vice versa In small open boats. Neither side is inclined to take this risk. Tlie Liberals profess to believe that a proclamation of the present situation would result in a withdrawal of the government force from Bocas del Toro. Counting reinforcements, the government has about 170 men there and the town can only be reached by very light draught steamers through roundabout channels. Martial law prevails in Bocas del Toro. The authorities have stopped communication with other ports except Colon. They have steppeel local fishing and forbidden passage along the streets after S o'clock at night. Foreigners claim that the measures adopted for harbor supervision materially injure commerce. Two Germans were sent to jail for expressing their views too freely in a cafe, and it needed the intervention of the German consul to effect their release. The United States, French. British and German consular agents in Bocas del Toro told the Colombian commander there that if the severe harbor restrictions Interrupting commerce were not abated, they would call for gunboats. These representations resulted in a limited improvement only in harbor conditions. The local trade, which has been chiefly In bananas sent to the United States, is virtually dead. Fruit steamers from Mobiie and New Orleans are getting only partial cargoes, the disturbed conditions preventing' work on the plantations. The foreign element predominates In the town Americans, Germans, Britisli and Chinese in the order named. The United Fruit Company, of Boston owns many banana plantations in the neighborhejod. Tlie United States consular agent in Bocas del Toro has made an urgent appeal to the United States consul in Colon to send a gunboat. Commander Sargent, of tho United States gunboat Machlas. is fully informed of the situation, and If this does not Improve shortly the Machlas probably will preceed to Bocar. del Toro. The Liberals on Provision Island say the presence of the Machlas will not alter the situation as they have in no way interfered with or injured foreigners, and the government alone is responsible for the restrictions laid upon commerce. Many houses In liocas del Toro continually Ily American, German, British or French flags to denote the neutrality of their occupants. The Colombian government considers that the measures taken there have been made necessary by the exigencies of the case. A HEAT PROBLEM. Case In Which tho Clinical Thermometer Wus I'MelesM. New Orleans Times-Democrat. "Tlie physician may have a problem in the thermtuneter to deal with in the future if the storage and radiation of heat in cities keep elriving the temperature up." said a gentleman who keeps an ej e on abnormalities eif every kind, "and I saw a very striking illustration of the fact a few days ago on a New Orleans street car. It was during one ef the days when the fluid In the bulb was forced up to the hiih point, ami two well-known physicians figured In the incident. The car was pretty we'll crowded and frequent complaints were made about the prevailing weather. The doctors indulged commonplace expressions about the heat and grumbled in the usual way about the torrid conditions. One of them pulled a linaal thermometer ut of his pocket to see what the temperature wac He fenind that, accc-rding to his instrument, the registered heat was 10:1.1'. This surprised him a bit. The other physician raised a ejuestion with reference to thermomete rs and thir usefulness under such circumstances, and t!ie problem was not solved even by the wisdom of tlie two men combined. 'Suppose a nun on this car should get suddenly sick.' said the phydeheri, Vnd it would be necessary for you to take his temperature.
