New York, Sept. 23. \t Friday's
meeting of the plan anil scope eominit
tee of the Dewey celebration (Sen. Hot
made the following statement.:
"In order that there may be no mis
understanding 1 wish ti> make this
statement in reference to the declina
tion of the Grand Aims of the Hepub
lie to take part i" the Admiral Dewe.v
land parade: At my instillation Iw m
authorized by this committee to ex*
tend an invitation to the Grand Army
of the Republic ol New N ork to take
part in the parade, by having a certain
nv.inbcr of men selected from each
post, forming a battalion or regiment,
according to the number. 1 put myself
in communication with the state com
mander. At the request of a promi
nent (iranil Army man 1 wrote and
asked O. O. Howard to take command
of this body, being assuml that this
was agreeable to (lie state commander.
At an interview between the state
commander, several members of th■ ■
(.rnnil Army and myself 1 understood
that th-- selection of O. <>. Howard v as
agreeable. At this same interview I
informed them that the tirand Arm,
would l>e assigned i position in the
lead of the unarmed organizations.
"At a later interview between the
commander-in-chief of the G. A. i!.. tin'
t-tate commander anil myseli prac
lieally a demand was made that the.
Grand Army should have the right oi
the line, or head of the column. th<
state commander stating lhat at a
meeting held the day before it was tins
sentiment of the Grard Army ot the
.Itepublie that if it could not huve tie
lead it would not parade. I called
■their attention to the fact that it was
not. a Grand Army affair: that it was a.
citv *ffair and that, that position was
not it- proper one, and said 'positively
d absolutely the Grand Army can
f*' t, have the head of the column,'
1 " ( ore upon they retired. \l another

MaG-d !hat lie thought <•. »>. Howard
siiould not command the Grand Army.
1 informed him that, he was asked at
the request of several Grand Army
men, but I would write and ask him to
withdraw, whereupon the commander
in-chief said -that is a simple matter
and can easily be arranged.' Then
he asked if I would allow a picked
boilv of 300 Grand Army men and him
—s"'lf to "nave the head of the column. I
answered "I positively will not author
ize anv portion of the Grand Army to
lit- at the head of the column. Subse
quently I received a letter of declina
tion. I have taken the position th.it
Ihe day was emphatically a navy day,
•lhat Admiral Dewey and his sailors
of the Olympia should be in the lead
with nothing whatever to detract. i
am a member of the G. A. it.'
The committee agreed unanimously
to approve the action taken by Gen.
Roc. Gen Hoc reported that lie had
learned that Ohio proposed to increase
its represent at ion Iron- ".00 to 3,000
men. lb* suggested that in view of
the lack of funds the committee au
thorize him to announce that no more
organizations would be accepted. A
motion to that elicet was adopted.
A. D. Shaw, commander-in-chief c.f
the G. It., has issued an address to
the public in which he lays: "J'he
reasons given in the letter from De
partment Commander Kay and piv
i-nted in pe : so a to Gen. Roe t mbodied
the views I pressed upon him, and
which should command the place fur
the comrades in the line in question.
; made this request following the pre
cedent- oi two states. First in Chi
cago at tin- jubilee parade the veterans
were accorded tin- right of line and
marched ahead of all armed troops:
second on the return of the Tenth regi
ment, Pennsylvania volunteers, irom
the Philippines the G. A. R. had the
right of line in Pittsburg, followed by
the president and governor ami tfieir
"In the light of these comparative!v
recent parades I could not but feel
(hat the Grand \rmy comrades of New
York were as well entitled to head the
•inc of tin- Dewey parade as were J e
<omiadcs of Pennsylvania to lead a
similar civic pageant in lionoi of our
Spanish war heroes, and I lelt when I
made the plea that the precedent set
by Pennsylvania in having the vet
erans lead the line. President Mc Klii
ley end the governor of the state fol
lowing. was one that might be fol
lowed wit In .ill anv Joss of dignity to
■those controlling the Dewey parade in
New York."
Utica. N. N.. Sept. '-'it. Regarding
the dispute as to the position to be ac
corded the <■. l{. in the Dev. -y
parade at New York, t.oi. Roosev<-lt
said last night : "I have telegraphed
Cen. Hoc that if the matter is one
purely for the city authorities and in
which I have no power, then of course
I withdraw ins former telegram. I
had understood that Gen. Koe was act
ing as inajcr general oi tin- national
guard in the management of i lie pa
rade and in that event ' had the pour
to direct that the veterans be given
the right of the line and accordingly
did it. If. however, as appears to lie
the case, it is a matter purely for the
city ollici lis I have nothing to say."
ROYALISTS ON TRIAL.
Tbo French Mciiate Mia » a Court of
Jnatier lo Hear ( liiirjieii Ajjaiual At"
legfd < oim|ilrator«.
Paris, Sept. 10. —'The senate met us
:i high court of j-istice yesterday for
the purpose of trying 2'.! politicians, in
cluding MM. De Monicourt, DerouledeJ
Marcel ifabert, Thiebaud. Haron l)e
Manx and .lules Gucrin, on the charge
of conspiracy against the government.
Not one of the accused was present
or in the palace, but nine cells have
been tilted up for them in the library.
The ceils are very comfortably fur
nished. The floor is covered with
linoleum and the walls are hung with
greenish cloth. The furniture con
sists of an iron bedstead, an easy
chair, a marble-topped toilet table, a
cuspidor and a rug. Thus the prison
ers will have little to complain of and
may congratulate themselves that
times have changed since the Giron
dins were confined in the palace of the
senate bv Kobespierre during the reign
of terror.
M. Uernard, Ihe procurator general,
read the indictment. The indictment
commenced by reciting the facts of
the arrest of MM. Deroulcde and lla
bert, and said the inquiry had showed
the existence of a conspiracy to change
flic, form of government, to which ihe
disorders of last February, it was add
ed. were due, anil in which Deroulcde,
Hubert and some members of tin*
League of Patriots. M. Gucrin and
some members of the \nti-Seniitie
league. Dubuc and some members of
the Society of Anti-Semitic Y< utlis.M '.I.
Diiffet, Goilefrey and ( lievilly and
members of the royalist party were in
culpated. All the societies mentioned,
since 1 SOS, it was pointed out, had
abandoned electoral action for revolu
tionary action, and the League of Pa
triots openly pursued the object of
overthrowing the constitutional gov
ernment,
The \nti-Semitic league, it was also
claimed, has joined the insurrectional
organization, wherewith are associat
ed the nationalists, royalists and im
perialists, and the Anti-Semitic Youth
has as a mission the propogaiula in
the province* of the revolutionary
movement.
The indictment proceeded with iv
recapitulation of the royalist maneuv
vcrs and declared the royalists led and
paid a mob to insult President Loubet
on the day of his election. Letters
seized at the residence of M. Chevilly
showed that the funds were becom
ing exhausted by February, ISS9, and
promises of money, mostly from ladies,
were found in the correspondence. The
culminatory point of the royalist con
spiracy was reached February when
Deroiilede made his attempt on ihe
Place de la Nation to induce a brigade
of infantry to march on the Klysce
palace. Everything, it seems, was
prepared to carry out the royalist plan
that day, tint, Derouleile's failure
spoi led all, and the Duke of Orleans,
who was waiting at TSrusscls for ihe
signal to come to Paris, received in
stead a telegram from ISuffet, saying:
"I'scless to come. Send you further
news to-morrow."
The indictment evoked frequent out
burs.us of derisive laughter and iron
ical comment at, the expense of the
royalists, especially on the reading of
the various telegrams exchanged and
the failure of the plots.
The senate decided to allow the (iris
oners to be represented by counsel
du-ring the preliminary inquiry, but
the question of the competency of thu
senate to sit as a court to try the
charges was adjourned until after the
conclusion of the preliminary inquiry.
This is tantamount to an adjournment
of the court for several weeks.
THEY SOAR SKYWARD.
Prices ol Paper anil Leather Advance
Very Itaphlly.
New York, Sept. 21. News paper
has gone up a quarter of a cent a
pound within the last three weeks.
The newspapers of New York, accord
ing to an official of the company,
which supplies all bit two of the pa
pers printed in this city, use 400 tons
.of paper daily at a cosr of two cents a
pound. The recent advance means
?'2,000 a day more to the newspapers,
or $730,000 a year over the price which
has hitherto obtained. Tile cost of
the consumption is now $1S,0()0 a day.
The tendency is to the price still
higher. The advance is due partly to
the drouth of last summer, which seri
ously impaired the water power of pa
per mills. Hook paper lias also gone
up one-quarter of a cent, a pound and
letter paper from three-quarters of a
cent to one cent a pound.
The price of shoe leather has gone,
np from tor, per cent, within the
last week, owing to Ihe scarcity of
cowhide material. Shoe maniitiietuv
ers have signed contracts with whole
sale and retail shoe Houses which will
not expire for months to come, and
w> fhe patrons of retail houses will
not fed the advance until December.
Tn tin- meantime the manufacturers
who have bound themselves by con
tract will lie the suffer rs from the rise
in price. A sharper advance siiil has
been made in the price of crude sole
leather.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1899.
FOR EXPANSION.
Senator Foraker Makes a Pub
lic Declaration.
THE TRUST QUESTION.
He Says It Cannot be Decided on
Partisan Political Lines.
OUR TRADE IN THE ORIENT.
The Senior Senator Ironi Ohio .Insert*

to t.et Their Share ol the ( otumerce
ol Astatic I outlines.
Hamilton. O. Sept. Xi.—Senator For
aker yesterday delivered an address
here at the emancipation celebration
on the Butler county fair grounds.
Among the features of his address
were bis declarations for expansion
and an argument on trusts. He said
in part:
"We bear it said that the tariff is the
soother of trusts and that they are
ihe cause of all sorts of evils. We do
| have trusts and some are as bad
is they are represented, but tiny are
I not the product of the tariff and 112
' I hey w< re, the tariff, with its attend
ant. prosperity and trusts is better
than fri'e trade and idleness, ruin, lum
ber and soup houses and rags.
"That the tariff is not responsible
for trusts is shown by the fact that
while they have tree trade in Knglnnd,
yet they also have jnore trusts in that
country than in any other. 'l'hey had
their origin there and there they had
I heir most complete development.
"Trusts are nol a republican institu
tion, enjoyed by republicans nlone, nor
a democratic institution enjoyed by
democrats alone, but they are com
posed of democrats and republicans
alike; men of both parties arc engag'd
in them and interested in their pro
motion and their protection under the
law. They arc . imply a feature of our
modern business conditions, with re
spect tn which party lines cannot be
drawll.
"And now just when the necessity
is upon us In find markets for our snr
plus products, ihe way to the best
markets of all is opened by the an
nexation of Hawaii and the war with
Spain. It is not in Europe but in
Asia, where we are to find relief.
"Five or six hundred millions of peo
ple, chiefly in China, are just now be
ing introduced to our civilization. In
the near future they will make heavy
demands on the rest of the world. Kus
sia, France. Cermany and England ai\>
striving 1< r their share of this trade,
and we owe it to the shops and fann
ers of this country to secure our fair
share also. To neglect our opportuni
ties would be stupid folly.
"Considerations of this character
must not be overlooked when we con
sider the acquisition of the Philippine
islands. The wisdom of that acqui
sition will be indue time demonstrat
ed. just as in evert other case of an
nexation of territory.
"It is true that the islands ire in
habited bv a beteroii'eneou- population,
speaking many different languages
and possessing varying' degrees of
capacity for civilized government and
Iliat all. good and bad, are. according
to the terms of the treaty, to pass un
der our jurisdiction: but it is not true
that by their mere annexation they
arc to become citizens of the I'nited
States, participating in oui i.-overn
jnent and competing with out labor.
"On the contrary it is expressly pro
vided in the treaty that the ei\il and
political status of the inhabitants shall
be determined bv congress, and this
provision of the treaty is as much the
supreme law of the I'nited States as
though it were set forth in tin con
stitution itself.
"An unhappy war is now in prog
ress. It is costing us many lives and
many millions, but President McKitt
iev lias announced that he has no pur
pose in prosecuting it except only to
restore order and prepare the way for
the establishment indue time of sueli
civil government as congress may pro
vide. When congress convenes all can
be heard, and I have no doubt but that
wise re ults will be reached. In tin*
meantime, so long as the war conein
ues there can be but two sides to it,
and only one is the \merican side.
Where our flag and o.tr soldiers it re.
Ihere must stand the whole American
people."
