OPENS THE

A Masterly Address De

Ohio.
THE QUESTION OF TRUSTS
He Says That Big Corporations Are
Indispensable Instruments of In

Should Be Checked by Law The
Whole Trend of the Nation Is To
ward Expansion It Is Impossible
to Save Our Honor or Restore Or
der in the Philippines Save
Through Victory.
Akron, O., Sept. 2 1. The opening ot
tlu- campaign hero In Ohio today was
made memorable by the masterly dis
cussion of the Issues of the day by
Governor Roosevelt, of New York.
When the train bearing the hero of
San Juan arrived at the station the
whole city of Akron and thousands of
visitors trom neighboring plaees were
there to meet him and take him by the
hand. He was eiual to the occasion,
and was evidently pleased with the
marked attention paid him. As soon
..s he en me out of the ear crV. of
Hoosevelt' and "Teddy" were ta'oti
up by the throng, and he was fairly
lifted Into his carriage. So great was
the Interest In the distinguished guest
that the order of speaking was re
versed and Hoosevelt placed llrst, as
the hour was growing late when the
parade reached the stands at Grace
park. "Here, as In the parade, he was
the Hon of the hour, nnd his speech
dlclted the greatest enthusiasm. His
oulck, nervous and Intense'' delivery
made a great hit with the crowd.
Governor Roosevelt's Speech.
Governor Hoosevelt said In pa"':
I come to speak to you because wo
recognize throughout the nation that
the contest this year In Ohio Is not, and
cannot be, anything but u national
contest. It Is Idle to say It la local
yes. and worse than Idle It Is dishon
est to make such an assertion, where
the democratic platform lays Its es
pecial stress upon national questions.
If a party raises an Issue which It
knows Is a false issue, merely fop the
hope of carrying an election, then that
party shows in the most striking way
that It is the enemy of the country nnd
unlit to be Intrusted with Its govern
ment. This Is just what the Democratic
party In Ohio has done at this time,
and Just what Its leaders, national anil
local, from the top down, are doing
when they speak of expansion, on
trusts and on free silver. It Is the sin
cere belief of all right minded men who
have the welfare of the nation close at
heart, that the position taken by the
Ohio Democracy, speaking In reality
for the national Democracy In this
campaign, is one destructive of na
tional prosperity at home and of na
tional honor abroad.
They wish to discuss the question of
trusts, an economic question, and of
expansion, which Is really the question
of upholding abroad the honor of tho
Hag and the Interests of the nation,
and of making us rise levgl to our
duties as a world power. They hope
to avoid much discussion of the silver
question much discussion of their ad
vocacy of a dishonest dollar trusting
that thereby they shall be enabled to
say to the believers In free silver that
they nre heartily In favor of it. and yet
to fool the men who stand for sound
finance by explaining to them that that
qu"st!on Is really relegated to the rear
and Is not a live Issue.
Question of Trusts.
Our opponents denounce trusts. Hut
they propose not one remedy that
ould nut make the situation ten times
' oise than at its worst It now Is.
i have read thiough carefully the
pel ches of Mr. Hrynn andof bis fellows
to find out what they propose to do.
1 have found plenty of vague denunel
dtlou. X have not found so much as
en attempt to formulate a national
policy of relief. In the Democratic
platform In Ohio Just two measures of
i -lief are proposed the first that you
should change the tariff because It
t'.u iirs ti'usts, and the second that you
bliuuld coin silver In the ratio of six
teen to one without regard to the ae
ti"ii of any other nation.
They pretend that tho tariff favors
trusts. They know well that the great
est trusts In this country, the Stand
ard Oil and Sugar trusts, are utterly
unaffected by the tariff. They know
well that the trust with which there;
is the most widespread and deepest
dissatisfaction, the Reef trust, Is utter
ly unaffected by the tariff; and In my
own state one of the largest trusts, the
Ice trust (which Is said to have as Its
most prominent member and promoter
that anient anti-trust champion nnd
advocate of Mr. Hryan, Mr. Richard
Croker) Is also wholly unaffected by
the tariff.
Six years ago you were under the
kmd ot tatifr to which they now ask
i-n to return. And you were suffering
from tho threat of free coinage tho
threat which they now revive. Are tin
people of this country so short-sighted
that they forgot the miseries of six
years ago'.' Do they forget the bread
riots, the poverty, tho squalid want,
even of those able anil anxious to
work?
Views on Expansion,
our opponents throughout the nation,
and in particular here In Ohio, propose
h a method of attacking trusts to
c.eddle with the tariff, which would
mean economic disaster to the masses,
and let debase the coinage, which. In
addition to even more frightful eco
nomic disaster, would mean national
dishonor. When they come to the sec
ond plank in their platform, the ques
tion of expansion, they udvocuto the
dUhonor of tha American arms and the
trailing of the American flag In tho
dust. They place themselves outside
thp rank of proper party opponents
and make, themselves morsly the one-
iContlnued on Paso 3.

NEW YORK SUN.
A Peculiar View of fhe Situation nt
Manila The Question of Prolong
ing the War in Order to Maka Non
Combatants Sick of Independence
The Ar&wer Given Iir.ittljccnt Fil
ipinos Who Desired Protejlloa.
From the Now York Sun.
Manila, Sept. 23, 10 p. m. General
Otis said today In regard to the Fili
pino offer to release certain American
prisoners that he believed it was in
tended as a bluff to pluy on the sym
pathy of foreigners. General Otis, as
has been stated before In these ,11s
patches, has repeatedly released Fili
pino prisoners of war; In fact, he baa
already set over 2,000 of them at llb
crtv. In order to test Agulnaldo's good
faith the Spanlurds todaj asked Gen
eral Otis to authorize the sending o' a
steamer to Dagupan to get the Spanish
prisoners there and transport them to
Spain. Agulnaldo has offered to re
lease these prisoners. General Jnra
mlllo, who Is In charge of Spanish af
fairs, said that at the beginning of
August the Insurgents had fi,700 Span
ish prisoners, Including 400 ofllcers.
Since that time SO per cent, of the
prisoners had been starved. Each
man gets only five cents a day for
his food allowance.
General Jaramlllo recently received a
letter from General Pena, urging tho
Spanish commissioner to use every en
deavor to secure the release of the
Spanish prisoners. Among other
things ho said: "If this thing does not
end In a few months there will bo few
left to tell the tale."
The Sun correspondent had a long
Interview today with General Otis
about the state of affairs in the Philip
pines. The general, In reply to ques
tions, said:
Tilings are going alocg in a very satis
factory manner. Our own forces are In
good condition. We have plenty of com
missary supplies hero or on the way. Wo
also have all tho transportation facili
ties necessary either lure or on the way.
When the weather conditions permit wi
shall bo ready to mako an acllvo cam
paign. The insurgents nre having n hard time
holding their foices together. They havu
no commissariat and no voluntary sup
port from their own l eople.
Reports are constantly coming to me
from all parts ot the Island showing dis
sension, demoralization and disintegra
tion among their troops and the dissatis
faction of the people with the "insurrec
tionary government."
Letters como to mo dally from pcrsoni
of education and Intelligence, men of
property and prominence among the Fil
ipinos, asking me to rend troops to pro
tect "us from our army." They call their
"army of liberation" nothing but bands
of robbers nnd cut-throat.
Tho southern and northern provinces
have repeatedly begged protection from
me. I have replied to these people:
"Whnt's tho matter with Independence?
Go back and enjoy It a while longer."
Filipinos Tiring of Independence.
Continuing the discussion of the situ
ation General Otis developed a new
viewpoint. He said:
The question Is whether, after all. It
would be wise to hasten the ending of the
Insurrection. With the exception of a few
robbers and adventurers these people
grow sicker and more disgusted with in
dependence every day they have it. Even
the leaders of the Insurgents are trying
to get away. Several ofllcers have come
to Manila; others havo sent their fam
ilies here. Pedro Paterno, the former
president of the Filipino cabinet, has his
entiro family, numbering about fifty per
sons here. Others have asked the same'
prvilege. Sometimes 1 reply to such re
quests that tho applicants should make
tho most of independence while they
have It.
t believe that If tho Insurrection Is not
ended too soon tho Filipinos will bo so
heartily sick of Independence that thero
will never be anv more trouble on that
scgro. Independence was a craze with
these people.
They did not understand what It meant,
but their worship of the Idea amounted
almost to fanaticism. Now that they
really know what their Independence
means, It is tho best object lesson they
ever had, nnd It will not be necessary to
conttnuo It much longer to forever settle
the question.
It Is not surprising that the Filipinos
thought they could whip tho Americans.
They defeated the Spanish under General
Jaramlllo nt Zapote and they licked Gen
eral Rlos at Novaleta when they wero
armed only with bolos. They expected to
repeat this performance with us.
Agulnaldo had eight months In which
to organize his campaign. He accom
plished a great deal In that Mine. Ho
sent his Tagals to every island ot r,r,y
size nnd Importance throughout the
archipelago and got bis government op
crating so thoroughly that the poonle
cannot fall to understand what such self
government means.
Other Phases.
General Otis then went on to speak
of other phases of the situation. He
said it wus almost impossible to over
estimate the encouragement, support
and assistance that the actions and
talk of the antl-expanslonlsts In the
United States had given to the Insur
gents. These men. he said, put Into
the heads of the rebel3 that congress
would do something against the con
tinuance of the war. Ho (General
Otis) was kept well Informed us to what
was going on at the Insurgent head
quarters. He knew that the insurgent
leaders had been exhorting the Fili
pinos to hold out until September, on
the plea that a special session of the
American congress had been called for
the purpose of granting Independence
to the Filipinos. When that failed
the plea was changed, and it was said
that this action would be taken when
congress met In regular session.
Tills Idea of congressional Interfer
ence with General Otis' uctlons or tho
president's plans Is so widespread here
that it has somewhat affected even
the Influential Filipinos In .Manila.
"When Congress meets." says Gen
eral Otis, "should the president recom
mend non-action In Philippine affairs,
or should Congress refrain from In
terferrlng It would bo u hard blow to
tho rebel lenders. If congress paeans
a resolution that there shall bo no leg
islation concerning the Philippines
until the Insurrection Is ended by ab
solute and unconditional sun-under,
that will be the death blow to the In
surgent pause."
In other words the people at homo
can do as much to restore peace in
these Islands as all the military force
that could be sent here. It becomes
a question now whether loyal, patriotic
Americans will rebuke tho traitors who
have? been nslstlng tho country's armed
enemy.
Agulnaldo's Hope in Luzon.
The settlement everywhere depends
upon the conditions of affairs In Lu
zon. All tho southern Islands are
uwnltlng the result of the fight here
and will abide by It. The Inhabitants
of Mindanao have just made propo
sition that tho American olilclals should
go there and run things, but they say
it must be understood that In caso
Agulnaldo wins his fight In Luzon the
Americans will evnctiate Mindanao nnd
allow Agulnaldo to run the affairs of
thnt Island.
HUNGARIAN HILARITY.
A Gonernl Fight in Which Two Men
Are Shot.
Allentown, Pa., Sept. 24. A celebra
tion attending an Hungarian wedding
at Catasaqua, last night, resulted In a
general fight, In which two men wero
shot and several others were badly
used up. The men who were shot are
John and Michael Voser, brothers, of
Egypt, Pa. They are now In the Allen
town hospital and their condition Is
serious. The others who were Injured
were not serliusly hurt.
Saturday morning George Knphagen,
a young Hungarian butcher, of Cata
saqua, was married1 to Ann Oil, of
Hokondaqun, by a priest of the Ortho
dox Greek church. The couple rented
a house and had ordered a large quan
tity of beer to be delivered there for
the nuptial celebration. Many Hun
garians from the surrounding towns
called, and for a few hours all went
well. Hefore midnight, however, some
of the guests became hilarious and
some got Into a fighting mood. The
Voser brothers, who belong to the
United Greek church faction and who
had been warned not to attend the
iveddlng, got Into an argument with
the Orthodox faction over religion und
a general fight was the result. Knives
were flourished, beer glasses flew through
tile air and then some one turned out
the lights. The next instant pistols
were put In use and John Voser was
shot In the abdomen and Michael Voser
received a bullet In the head. They lay
on the floor for half an hour before any
attention was paid to them.
The police were notified and this
morning thev arrested John Chlmsay,
who admitted having fired one shot,
nnd another Hungarian, who was heard
to say that he would clo some shooting.
The prisoners were taken to the jail
at Easton tonight. ,

Out to Disperse tho Mo'.
London, Sept. 21. The attempt to
hold a pro-Doer anti-war demonstra
tion In Trafalgar square, London, this
nfternoon. resulted In a drastic fail
ure. Thousands assembled, but not
to support the speakers. On the con
trary the crowd waved union jacks
and sang tho national anthem and
"Rule iirlttannla" like mighty Invoca
tions. The speakers, who were quite Inaud
ible, were received with groans, de
cayed apples and eggs and other mis
siles. There were cheers for Mr.
Chamberlain, secretary of state for
the colonies and hisses for President
Kruger. Some soldiers who were pre
sent wore carried shoulder high by
the crowd.
There were several rushes for the
platforms, which were surrounded by
opponents of the demonstration, who
yelled fiercely. Finally the mounted
police were telephoned for to clear the
square. Hntons were used freely, sev
eral persons wero trodden upon by tho
horses and thirty arrests were made.
The opponents of the meeting finally
proposed resolutions In support of tho
government's policy, which wore car
ried amid wild enthusiasm.
This evening the promoters of the
demonstration held a meeting in pri
vate and after long discussion carried
the following resolutions:
"In consequence of the organized In
terruption of the anti-war demonstra
tion in the Trafalgar square today,
fomented by a section of the yellow
and stock jobbing press, this commit
tee resolved to hold a public meeting
In one of the largest metropolitan halls
at an early date."
Second Attempt.
The list of speakers included none
of special Influence, most of them being
labor leaders or socialists. The mem
bers of the peace association had no
opportunity to address tho crowd. They
were saluted with execrations as soon
n th,r ,.,i .,.. !. .i
wore obliged to stand smiling compla
cently during tho singing of the na
tional airs and the wild cheering for
Mr. Chamberlain. Their attempts to I
put their resolutions to a vote were
the morcBt dumb show.
Henry M. Hyndman, the social lead
er, was a particular object of animos
ity. He was menaced with a forest
of walking sticks when he tried to
speak.
The shouldering of a soldier and
marine, their hands clasped, In a pro
cession around the square, provoked
frantic enthusiasm and was altogether
an impressive Incident, the multitudes
bursting Into the song "Soldiers of tho
Queen."
On many of the passing omnibuses
which carry union Jacks the passen
gers lifted the flags from their sockets
and waved them vigorously.
Long before the Intended hour all
the proposed speakers had disap
peared. -'
