The Chicago Auditorium, on the
night of. Tuesday, September ~0, was
the scene of a tremendous recept.on
to Senator Albert J. Heveridge, of
Indiana, who spoke to an audience of
pepole on the retention ol the
Philippine islands by the 1 nited
States. The senator's speech. was
substantially as follows:
"Ladies and Gentlemen: 'Westward the
star ol empire takes its way. Not Hie
star of kingly power, lor kingdoms .tre
» very where dissolving in the increasing
rights of men; not the star of autocratic
oppression, lor civilization is brightening
and the liberties ol the people are broad
ening under every tlag that floats. But the
star of empire as Washington used the
word when he railed this republic an em
pire ' as Jefferson understood it when he
d« « iared our form of government id* a
lor extending 'our empire;' as Marshall
understood it *h» n he ( lose d a noble period
of an immortal constitutional opinion by
naming the domain of the American I" o
ple 'our empire.' This is the 'empire of
which the prophetic voice declared 'West
ward the star of empire takes its way -
the star of the empire of liberty and law,
of commerce* aneJ communication, <»t so
cial order and the' Gospel of emr Lore, the
star ot the empire of the civilization of the
world. Westward that star of empire
take s its course-. And to-day it illumines
our path e>f duty across the Pacific into
the islands and'lands where Proviele*nce
has calle d us, Ir path the American
government is inarching forward, opposed
at everv step bv those 1 who deny the right
of the republic "tci plant the institutions of
the tlag where events have planted that
flag itself. For this is our purpose,
to perform which the* opposition to ihe
government declares that the republic has
no warrant in the constitution, in morals,
or in the* rights of man. Anel 1 mean to
examine to-night every argument they ad
vance lor their policy of reaction and re
treat.
Some ineapalile of Self (iovernment.
"It is not true, as the opposition asserts,
that every race is naturally self-governing
without instruction or guidance. If so, tin-
Indians were capable of self-government.
Our America—or is America euirs?—be
longed to them, whether they wire or we re
not capable- of self-government. If they
were capable of self-government, it was
not only wrong, but it was a crime* te» set
up our inde pendent government un tin ir
land without their consent, It this is true*,
the Puritans, instead of being noble, are
despicable* characters; and the patriots of
177»;. tej which the opposition compares the
Filipinos, were only a swarm of land
Pirates rebelling against their captain.
If the oppeisition is right the Zulus who
owned the- Transvaal were capable of self
government, and the Boers who expelled
them, according to the opposition, de-serve
tin* abhorn !*•(* e»! righteous men."
The speaker told of the benefits which
Hawaii had and the Philippines would re
ceive* under American rule*, anel asked:
"Dare Mr. Bryan say that he would have
India back to its condition before- England
took it? If he* dare not, he* is answered.
Dare he say that he- would witheir;*.w Kng
lish rule now? If he- dare not, he is an
swered. Dare he* say that he would take
the English residents from tin- Malay
states and turn them back again te» the
tiger rule of their brutal lords? It he-dare
not. he- is answered. I>are he* say that the
Boers should restore* the Transvaal to its
original owners? If he dare not. he is an
swered. Dare he deny that the* gve-ate-st
progress shown upon the* map of earth
to-day is the progress of Hgypt during the
last L'O years under English rule? If he*
dare not . he is answereel. And he dare not.
If he proclaims his trust in the Filipino
people-, who know not the meaning of se-lf
government, 1 declare my faith in t hp
American people, who have* developed the
realities of liberty."
MnkiiiK it >1 Intake in Cuba,
The* senator spoke* of the- good results of
the Dutch occupation of Java anel the
Malay peninsula, and then, coming to
Cuba. added:
"If the opposition declare that we ought
to set up a separate government over the
Philippines because we are setting up a
separate government over Cuba. I answer
that such an eH'or in Cuba does not justifv
the same error in the Philippines. I am
speaking for myself alone, but. speaking
thus. I say that, for the gooel of Cuba more
even than fe>r the* good of the* rnited States,
a separate government over Cuba, uncon
trolled by the' American republic, never
should have been promised."
As an American possession, he said. Cuba
might se>e»n bee*ome fitted for statehood,
but as an independent country he drew
for it this future:
"When we withdraw our restraint revo
lution will succeed revolution, as in the
Central and South American countries;
Havana again fester with the yellow death ;
systematic education again degenerate
into sporadic instances; and Cuba, which
under our control would have been a source
of profit, power and glory to the* republic
and herself, will be a source of irritation
anel of loss. e»f danger and disease to both.
The Cniteel States needs Cuba for our pro
tection. but Cuba needs the Cniteel States
for Cuba's salvation.
"The resolution, hastily passed by all
parties in congress at an excited hour, was
an error which ye ars of time, propinquity
of location, common commerce, mutual
interests and similar dangers surely will
correct. Our great president, jealous of
American honor, rightly anxious for the
good name* of the republic above every
other consideration, justly counting the*
fulfillment e>f national engagements the
most exalted national achievement, con
siders that resolution a promise. And
American promise means performance.
And so the unnatural experiment is to be
tried. What war and nature* aye. what
God bath joined together is to be* put asun
der. 1 speak for myself alone, but, speak
ing thus. T say that it will be an evil
day for Cuba when the stars and stripes
come down fre»m Morro castle."
llryaii'M Plan for I'll ili r»|»inc*.
Then, turning to Bryan's plan e»f pro
cedure in the Philippines, he constintn el:
"< 'onsider. now. tin* opposition s propose d
method of procedure in the Philippines: It
is to establish a stable government there,
turn that government ov«*r tothc Filipinos,
and protect them anel their government
from mob-utation by any other nation. It
is thus admitted that we must 'establish
a stable government.' If we 'establish a
stable government' we must see- that that
stable gove rnment is maintairn d. For,
it we are not going to take* care that this
stable* government, which the* opposition
says we must establish, is k< pt stable, why
should we establish it? If the* govern
ment we establish ceas» s to be stable after
we turn it over to the Filipinos, how can
we pre\>nt inte-rle-rence by eithrr nations,
the lives and properties of whose eitize ns
would be Imperile d and destroyed unless
we reenter and restore the- government's
stability? 'Establish government?' Why
snoulel we? Have the Filipinos asked us
to 'establish government* for them? How
does Mr. Bryan know that the Filipinos
will let us 'establish government' for
them?
"If the American government has been
on the point of dissolution by reason of
internal disturbance, how dare' we con
clude that the Filipinos, those children of
sedition, schooled in the practices e»f revo
lution against authority, would not resist
and rend in pice-es their own government?
Reme r.ibe r that they are Malays. Re-me ru
ber that as a rae-e they have not that civil
cohesion which binds a people into a na
tion. Re-me mbe r that < very island is en
vious of cve-rv oth< r one; and that in each
island e very offi< er is a general, jealous of
his dignity, intriguing for advancement.
How long would this stable gove rnme nt,
which the» opposition asks us to establish,
remain stable, if we withdraw our forces?"
Financial Plan in Orient.
In this connection the senator raised a
new question, asking how Bryan would
finance his Philippine government. He*
said:
"If. then, we 'establish a stable* govern
ment.' as the opposition demands, and turn
that government over te> the Filipinos,
they must also borrow money. But sup
pose the Philippine government cannot

the case In many Inftanr** on our t/wn
continent within the last quarter o! a cen
tury; as is the ease to-day with one of the
governments <>t Central America. If th.it
loan is an Knglish loan, England would
seize the revenues of tlie Philippines f«>r
the payment of her debt, as she has done
before and is dcjlng now. So wouK? France
or Germany or whoever was the creditor
nation. Would we have a right to inter
fere? Of course not, \inless we w< re willing
to guarantee the Philippine debt.
*ll, th»*n, the first purpose of the oppo
sition candidate is carried out. we must:
"Keep stable government which we
first establish, or the purpose of the estab
lishment of that government is defeated.
"If tin- second proposition of the "opposi
tion is performed, we must:
"First, control the finances of the Phil
ippines perpetually; or.
"Second, guarantee tlie loans the Phil
ippine government makes with other na
tions: or.
"Third, goto war with those nations to
defeat their collection of their just debts.
"Is this sound policy? Is it profitable?
Is it moral? Is it just to the Filipinos, to
the world, to ours# Ives? Is it humane to
the masses of those children who need
first of all. and more than all, order, law
and peace? Is it prudent, wise, far-seeing
statesmanship? And does the adoption of
a similar course in Cuba justify it in the
Philippines?
SuftKCKtn Program for (■ovarii men 112.
"Here is the program of reason and
righteousness, and time and events will
make it the program of the republic:
"First, we have given Porto Rico such a
c ivil government as her situation demands
under the stars and stripes.
"Second, we will put down the rebellion
and then give the Philippines such a civil
government as the situation demands, un
der the stars and stripes.
"Third, we are regenerating Cuba, and
when our pre paratory work is done we
should have given Cuba such a civil gov
ernment as her situation may demand, un
der the stars and stripes.
"The sovereignty of the stars and stripes
can be nothing but a blessing to any peo
ple and t«> any land."
Commercial liulii for Philippine*.
The commercial advantages to this coun
try of keeping the Philippines formed an
other chapter in the senator's speech.
Said he:
"To-day our trade in manufactured ar
ticles. as well as in the products of the
farm, is chiefly with Europe. Our agricul
tural trade will continue to dominate old
world markets, although It will not absorb
all our surplus, Uut our manufactured
trade with them is nearly at its zenith.
Evi ry year we buy $300,(>00,000 of tropical
products. To-day we pay much ol this
vast amount in money. Suppose we paid
for this in products which our artisans and
mechanics make and our farmers raise?
Think of the markets that would mean for
every American factory and farm! And
remember that wages and prices depend
on markets, not money, and prosperity de
pends on wages and prices. And consider
the- incalculable benefit to both if this tre
mendous trade is between the- American
people and their own possessions! And
then contemplate the magnitude of the
markets which those possessions command
in addition to their own markets!
"The mercantile argument is mighty
with Americans in merely mercantile
times, and it should be so. Rut the argu
ment of destiny is the master argument
In the hour of destiny, and it should 1>» so.
The American people never yet entered
on a great movement forme-rely mercantile
reasons. Sentiment and duty have starte d
and controlled every noble current of
American history. And at this historic
hour destiny is the controlling eonsidera
| tion in the- prophetic statesmanship which
conditions require of the American people.
"History establishes these propositions:
"First, every people who have become
great have become colonizers or adminis
trators.
"Second, through the- colonization ai <1
administration their material and political
greatness develops.
"Third, their decline is coincident with
their abandonment e»f their policy of pos
session and administration, or departure
from the true* principles thereof.
IlenifH Danger of Militarism.
The opposition, he continued, says all
this means a large army and a military
control. This the senator denied, saying:
"The greatest colonial power that the
world has ever seen, thee mpire of (Ireat
Rritalri has a smaller standing army in
times e»f peace than any power of Europ»
less than half av many as (iermanv. almost
two-thirds less than the soldiers of France,
nearly one-third less than the soldiers
maintained by Austria, an absolutely non
eolonizing power.
"What is it that establishes militarism in
Oermanv? On the west the immediate
proximity of France. h» r hereditary foe. de
termined on Germany's destruction. On
the east the immediate proximity of Rus
sia. her hereelitarv foe; on the south the
immediate proximity of an heterogeneous
em of re, destined to dismemberment, in the
swiftly approaching future. What is it
that establishes militarism in France? The
immediate proximity of Germany on the
east, her hereditary foe, against whom she
has sworn a national vendetfa; the imme
diate proximity of England on the north,
an enemy at whose hands centuries of de
feat has loaded France's blood with the
pol*on of hatred; the immediate proximity
of Italv on the south, the third of the anti-
Freneli dreibund. These are the things
which establish militarism in Europe—
not ce»lonization. not possessions, not obe
dience to the great natural law <sf expan
sion and growth "
Prodirtu n Prospermia F'ntnre.
Tn conclusion the senator predict'd a
hapov and prosperous future for the Phil
ippines. saying:
"Of these institutions, the American con
stitution is the highest, noblest and ulti
mate e\Pr»-s ion: and so our constitution
can crow only where the* simple r forms of
our institutions have already prepared the
way. Therefore, our eonstiiutlon may fol
low the flair, but our institutions do follow
the flag". Our constitution did not create
our institutions; our Institutions created
our eonstitulion.
"Free institutions are as definite, certain,
end concrete as our constitution itself,
free speech is an institution of liberty.
?.-v ce* schools are an institution of liberf'v.
The freedom to worship God according
to the dictates of conscience is an institu
tion of liberty. Any .American schoolboy
can catalogue free institutions And as fast
as the simplest of th'-se Institutions pre
pares th' se children Providence has uiven
into our keeping for higher grades just that
fast more complex forms of our institu
tions will follow.
"And so the answer to the politician's
battlccrv that 'the constitulon follows the
flag' is this great truth of popular liberty,
our institutions follow the flag.
"Our institutions not onlv the
Hair, thev accompany it. Thev troop be
neath its folels of glory. Wherever an
American e-itiz# n goes In carries the spirit
of our institutions. On whatever soil his
blood is shed to establish the sovereignty
or our fl.'". r . there are planted the imnerish
able seeds of the institutions the na
tion: and there those institutions flourish
in proportion as the soil where they are
planted is prepared for them.
Predict* American Mastery.
"Men—patriotic, brave and wise—have
nought to stay that tremendous purpose of
destiny, but their opposition was as the;
fing« r of a babe against the resistless pour
of the gulf stream's mighty current. Iwr
God's hand was in it all. Tils plans wcm
working out their glorious results. Ann
just as futile is resistance to the contin
uance to-day of the eternal movement e»f
the American people toward the mastery of
th.e world. This is a destiny neither vague
nor undesirable. It Is definite, splendid
and holy. When nations shall war 110 more
without the consent of the American re
public; what American heart thrills not
with pride at that prospect? And yet our
interests are weaving themselves so^rap
idly around the world that that time is
almost here. When governments stay the
slaughter of human beings, because the
Americ an republic demands it; what Ame r
ican heart thrills not with pride at that
orospect? And yet to-night there sits in
Constantinople a sovereign who knows
that that time Is nearly here. When the*
commerce of the world on which the- world's
| peace hangs, traveling every ocean high
w i\ of earth, shall pass beneath the guns
of the great r< public; what Arm « ic an heart
thrills i.ol at that prospict? Vet that
time wfll be Inn before the second admin
istration of the last American president
of the ninenteenth century arid the- first
president of the* twentieth century, Wil
liam McKinloy. When any changing of the
map of earth reepiln s a conference of tho
powers, and when, at any congress of the
nations, the America! republic will pre
side as the most powc rful of powers and
most righteous of judges: what American
heart thrills not at that prospect? And
yet. that prospect is at hand, even as I
sneak. It is the high and holy destiny of
the- American people, and from that des
tiny the American bugles will never sound
retreat. 'Westward the star of empire
takes Its way.' "
SANK IN MID-OCEAN.
The llrlllnli ship Nonpareil FuiiiKlcra
A Timely II<•»< »«■ of the Crew.
Xew ork, Oct. 1. —Tin* liritNn
tramp steamer (ilenfjoil, which arriv
ed Sunday from Alexandria,
and other ports in the Mediterranean,
brought into port shipwrecked
seamen, taken from the Kritish ship
>'oll p:ireil on September Their
vessel foundered shortly after tlicy
abandoned her. ('apt. Matlield on his
arrival here reported that bis ship,
the Vonpareil, sailed from New York
011 September 10, botnid for Soiiri
bava, Java, with a eariro of ease oil.
Two days after leaving Sandy Ifook
a strong southwest ffale sprang' iifi
and soon assumed the proportions of
a hurricane.
The seas boarded the vessel fre
quently. tons of water falling 1 upon
the deck, doing considerable dam;.-;-'
to the fittings, and finally throwiu •
the vessel on her beam ends. Tli •
Nonpareil remained in this position
mid all efforts to right her were tin
availing. The storm '•onlinued until
the Kith at noon and then moderated,
t>lll the sea continued to run very
high. It was found that the cement
along the port side of the waterways
and the stannchions had started and
strained so violently that tin" decks
had also started. The large spare
spar which had been secured to eve
bolts in the deck on the port side
broke adrift, wrenching the eyebolts
out of the decks. All riiese damages
opened up the decks and let a lot if
water into the hold. Conditions con
tinued to grow worse for several days
and en Monday. September 17, tie
wind increased to a fresh gale and vim
ship was under water on the port
side. The gale became so violent tb•;
vrew were set to work throwing over
tlie cargo.
Unsettled weather and a very rough
sea continued throughout Tuesday
and Wednesday and on Thursday
there was much heavy lightning aril
violent squalls. The seas, widen
swept over the vessel, washed every
thing from the decks, 'illed the deck
houses and smashed the en bin sky
lights. The cabin was filled with wa
ter up to the deck. At 3 o'clock in
the morning'of Saturday, the 2:3 d, tli'i
ship was lying at an angle of 4(1 de
grees and the crew were in constant
danger of being washed overboard.
The chief officer and several men had
been injured.
At !:!!< o'clock in the afternoon the
smoke of a steamer was sighted and
as she came nearer she sighted tie;
wreck and headed toward it. The
steamer proved to lie the (llengoil,
bound to New York. She hove to and
sent a boat and took off part of the
men, the injured being sent first. Ml
had to jump overboard and were haul
ed into the boat bv a rope. When tie;
boat returned to the (ilengoil it w is
stove alongside, bill its occupants
were safely landed on board the
steamer. Another boat was sent and
made two trips successfully. The last
trip of the boat was mule after dark
and when she went alongside of the
steamer, I'', (ieorg-e. one of the boat's
er 'W, L'ot crushed on the gunwale and
was washed overboard and lost.
( apt. Hatfield and the 2S men of tie;
crew of the Nonpareil lost nil tlieir
effects. They express gratitude for
the Kindness of ( apt. Davidson, an 1
the bravery of the crew of the (llen

Washington, Oct. 1. ( hief Hazcn.
of the secret service, was on Sunday
placed in possession of two molds for
silver dollars which were discovered
in a somewhat remarkable manner.
While (ieoi'ge ]•'. Hayes, a nurse, who
left New York with the New York
Journal and Advertiser relief expedi
tion. was sorting supplies i n the dock
of (ialveston a few days ago. he came
across a package which had some pe
culiar mark on it. He threw it into
a wagon which was faking medicines
to a relief hospital. Here it was open
ed and the molds discovered. There
was also the half of a SSO bill pasted
on a slip of paper. Hidden in the im
pel* package was a note which read'
"IV sure and see that gets
plenty of drugs. If yon don't she
won't be able to do anything."
The package turned out to have
been sent from this city to (ialveston
on a steamship that had left New
York and touched at no other port.
Chief Ilnsccn said in regard to the
matter: 'The counterfeiters un
doubtedly intended to take advai tage
of the excitement in (ialveston and
run off a large qnantily of bogus sil
ver dollars to circulate in the flood
of money following the relief of the

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is Especially Successful in
Curing this Fatal Woman's Disease.
Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney
disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment is ap
plied. the weary patient seldom survives.
Being 1 fully, aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham. early in her career, gave ex
haustive study to the subject, and in produc ing her great remedy for woman's
ills Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was careful to see that it
contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in har
mony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound is the only one especially prepared for women.
The following letters will show how marvellously successful it is:

44 DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I have
used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound according to directions,
and can say I have not felt so well
for years as I do at present. Before
taking your medicine a more miser
able person you never saw. I could
not eat or sleep, and did not care to
talk with any one. I did not enjoy
life at all. Now, I feel so well I can
not be grateful enough for what you
have clone for me. You are surely a
woman's friend. Thanking you a
thousand times, I remain,
Ever yours
