SALISBURY
ON AMERICAN
ELECTIONS
Remarkable Utterances Made at the
Banquet of the Lord
Mauor of London.
CAUSE OF CIVILIZATION
The Cause Won at the Becent Elec
tions in the United States Lord
Salisbury Claims the Eight to
Rejoice Over the Triumph of Prin
ciples Believed to Be at the Boot
of All Prosperity and Progress in
the World Mr. Choate's Response.
By CtrluiUa Wire fiom The Associated Press.
London, Nov. 9, What Is probably
the most brilliant of nil public func
tions In Knghind, the lord mayor's
banquet, took plnco this evening. It
will be memorable even to Americans
by reason of the following remark
able utterance of Lord Salisbury, who
in the presence of 900 guests, includ-
ing United States Ambassador Choate,
the members of the Uiitlsh cabinet
and many of the leading men of Eng
land, spoke as follows of the American
elections:
"We believe that the cause which
lias won is the cause of civilization
and commercial honor. We believe
those principles to be at the root of
all prosperity and all pi ogress in the
world. Therefore we claim that we
have as much light to rejoice in what
lias taken place as the distinguished
gentleman (referring to Mr. Choate)
who sits at my side."
This was followed by loud and pro
longed cheering which made the gold
plate on the oaken shelves shiver and
the great rafters of the guild hall linn i
nnd ring again.
Lord Salisbury's incursion into the
International polities of the Tnitcd
States was preceded by an apology, in
the course of which he said:
One of the ciicunil.incco winch his gialiticd
me most during the lait jear i the vcty hearty

Ambassador Choate's Reply.
Mr. Choate replying a few minutes
later to the toast of the dlnlomat'c
cnips. declared that Loid SulWiuiy
had stated with such truth, simplicity
una earnestness mo result or the elee-
Tlon that he (Mr. Choate) would not
itttempt to add to it. although lie would
venture to congratulate the noble loid
upon the fact that hN remark? had
been made after instead of before tho
election. (Laughter.) Exeont In its
reference to tlie United States 'the
speech of the premier, cast an c.t ra
i)iuinnr gioom over uio gorgeous
banquet. Following direetlv nftc- the
Colonel commanding the elty Imimiiol
volunteers. Loid Salisbury startled h's
hearers who caught the elrit'L ot hN
remarks by satirizing the win lever,
although praising the (.outage of the.
soldleis and declaring Unit tlie pas
hlnnato admiration of mllitaiy udoi
evinced by tlie populace must pio
duco a change of attitude oil thu pait
of outside world when viewing Eng
lish ehat actor. Then with lowcted
olce and almost trembling accent, he
went on to speak of the luieo of vie
lory and the ravages ot lUatl., es
pecially the queen 't, boieavoiii-nl In
the loss of l'lince Christian Vieloi
Finally, with Ii-nl head ami hands
clasped, he uilciett a hope, nlniu-,1 'i
prayer, that Lord Roberts might be
spared the sortow now hanging over
him by reason of tho eiltlcal i.on
dltlon of his daughter. Tears spiang
to the eves ot women anil men moved
uncomfortably In their seals. Tho
silence and solemnity grew oppressive.
Awakening from self abstraction, the
premier tovlewed the events of the
last twelve mouths. Mr. Kiuuer and
the empress of China he vent on to
say, had forced war upon Client I hit- !
uln. I in maintained that tho llilt'sh
war olllt-e deserved giu.it cicdlt for the
way in which It had handled these
emergencies,
"Despite nebulous mid fictitious at
tacks, wo should bo glad In Improve
all the defects of the war olllee." he
continued, "and our utmost eu'orts will
bo devoted to that task; hut I should
rather deprecate any unnecessary ex
amination into what has oecuried.
You will not add to tho enthusiasm of
your troops by so doing,"
lie dilated upon the stiengtheiied
ties between the mother country and
tho colonies during thu year anil poked
fun nt the delay consequent upon the
European concert when dealing with
China. It was not nppropiluio for
him, ho declared, to louuusiu upon
negotiations while in progiess, hut he
said he would make an exception in
ho ease of the AuglO'Cicruutu com
pact, "This," he icmarked, "repio
sents the feelings of most If not u
the powers allied. It Is Impossible to
lay too much emphasis upon tho In.
legrlty of China and the 'open
floor,' and I think U a mat
ter of great advantage that the
powers should have expressed them
selves In favor of these fundamental
principles, for, If they are achieved,
the Issue of the China problem need
not concern us very anxiously," He
maintained earnestly thai the idea of
Invading China with "our scanty
force," or of "upproachlng the stu
pendous task of governing China n
tead of leaving It to bo governed by
the Chinese," was most dungdrous.

tonight, he wished to state his position

tatively that the Kt - Micky election

vise with national and statu leadeis
as to whether contests should be made.
He does not say that contests will be
made over the Third, Ninth and Tenth
congressional districts, but If his. in
formation about the election in these
districts is correct contests should be
made. He is in favor of contesting
the electoi.il oto ot the state, not be
cause Kentucky's vote is needed by
the McKlnley electois. but for a pre

advised that the governorship should

Rewarded.
By Kxclush Wire fiom The .Moclatcd Preii
AVnshlngton, Nov, 9. -Bishop Henry
C. Potter of New oik, testiricd to
day before the Industrial commission.
Tho commission held Its Jltst session
of the month and P.ishop Totter was
the first of a laigo number of Im
portant witnesses who will appear
timing tho November meeting. Hti
spoke on sweatshops, arbitration and
other questions. He said ho had more
confidence in voluntary otgnni.atlons
to meet evils that grow out of the
sweatshop system than In legislation.
He advocated a permanent commission
to mediate between capitalists and
labor organizations. He was disin
clined to favor compulsory arbitration.
With reference to the recent anthra
city coal strike he was asked for his
remedy for differences where the em
ployed is n large aggregation of capital
that absolutely reject eveiy attempt
at mediation with empluyes and es
pecially where the public nt large
would suffer from tho cessation of
operations incident to tho dispute. "I
know no coercive measure thai I could
recommend to meet such a condition,"
the bishop replied. He placed more
value In sound public opinion solving
the trouble than any coercive meas
ures and thought the remedy really
lay in the Intelligent organization of
labor. A strike, he contended, Is noth
ing else than a reversion to primitive
times, a going backward lo barbarism.
Compulsory arbitration, he conceded,
was no less an evil than a, long strike
or a lockout. Ho commended tho dis
position of workingmeii to accept anj
suggestion looking to settlements with
pi tiloii'i-.. Thei" wun it genetal feel

Labor, he said. Is not well rewauled
voluntarily b.v any one. That was the
keynote ot the labor riuestlon. Bishop

"The whole sworld has been Inter

concerns the wholo woild. Wo do not,
It Is true, believe that .Mr. Bryan, If
elected, could hnvu put back thu clock
and compelled the Americans to attend
exclusively to their domestic atfitlrs.
Circumstances are stronger than the
teachings of the founders of the re
public, und a rich people or 70,000,000
seated on the Atlantlu and 1'acllle,
with tho growing necessity for com
morce, with the far cast must Inter
fere with the potlltcs of Asia and
therefore, in tho polities ot the nations
who arc trying lo eat up Asia. The
American people have been consulted
and accept their now position as a
world-wide power, ready lor the conse
quent sacrifices and will In tho fu
ture share In the general movement
of nations. Instead of standing c ide
ally and selllshly aloof they will gov
ern Hawaii and Porto UIco, they will
keep the Philippines und they will ac
quire so much of the world as Is es
sential lo me development of their
power and trade. Wo heartily wel
come the decision."
