ATHLETIC COLLEGIANS
IN TRIAL CONTESTS
Some Unusually Clever Perform
ances Will Be Seen in the
Events of Today.
By r:ilunc Wire ft0in The Associated Trots.
New York, May 30. The showing
made by the athletic collegians In the
preliminary heats and trials In the
track and field contests, which took
place at Berkeley oval today, ' gives
promise that some unusually clever
performances will be seen when the
semi-finals and finals of the Intercol
legiate championships ore decided to
morrow. As was expected, Harvard and
Yale outranked all the other colleges In
the number of men who qualified from
eueh. Harvard has 19 and Yale 18 on
the list of cllgtbles for the finals tomor
row, and the next In point of numbers
Is Princeton, with 8. California has 7;
Pennsylvania, G; Cornell, 4; Amherst,
3; Columbia, Georgetown and Syracuse,
2 each, and Rutgers and Williams, 1
each.
Harvard Is the favorite In what little
betting has been done so far, but If the
protest made by Yale against Shlck,
the Harvard sprinter, who won his
trials in the sprints today rather easily,
should be sustained, Yale would gain a
decided advantage, as Harvard would
lose either eight or 'ten -points. "
Arthur Duffy, of Georgetown, and
Schick won their individual heats in the
100-yard dash In even time. But If the
track remains In good condition and
there Is an absence of wind, either or
both will equul and probably break the
existing record of 9 4-5 seconds. In the
high and low hurdle events, Willis, of
Harvard, und Clapp, of Yale, 3eem to
be on even terms, and none of those
who contested In the 220-yard dash to
day can hope to defeat Schick In the
final for that event. Rust, of Harvard,
should have no difficulty In winning the
quarter-mile mil, and Kane, of Yale,
seems to have the half-mile honors at
his disposal.
Some disappointment was felt at the
showing made by A. D. Plaw, of Cali
fornia, In the weights events. He failed
to qualify In the shot put, his best effort
being forty foot eight Inches. DeWltt,
of Princeton, tied for fourth place In
the list of five who qualified, with a put
of forty-one feet nine Inches. DeWltt
distinguished himself In the lC-pound
hammer throw by breaking all pievlous
Intercollegiate records, as he threw the
missile 164 feet 10 Inches. Plaw was his
nearest opponent, with 144 feet 7 inches.
The defeat of the California!), while not
generally unexpected, surprised a good
many, as no one thought that DeWltt
would bent him by a margin of over
twenty feet.
FIRE AT MONTROSE.
The Office and Stock of the Demo

Speck! (o the Scrnnton Tribune,
Montrose, Majv 30. Shortly after 11
o'clock last night fire was discovered In
the office of the Montrose Democrat,
and an alarm was given which brought
tho entire fire department out, and our
three companies were, within a few
moments, on the scene and streams, of

Tho fire had a big start, but by the he

Chfcago, May 30. Every packing
house In the west belonging to "big six"
is to be attacked by the teamsters'
union on Monday If the local compan
ies do not recede from their position
and sign the agreement..
The tie-up In Chicago, which is declared
complete. Is to be carried to Omaha,
Kansas City, St. Joseph and St. Louis,
and the teamsters, whose national head
quarters are In Chicago, have received
assurances from their locals at these
points that all the men will obey the
summons and go out. This movement
will be national In its effects.
Butchers have practically abandoned
the hauling of meat froiri the yards. All
passes Issued by the strikers have been
called In and all meat that goes out In
cars Is followed and traced.
Kxcept for the few wagons that leave
the yards under heavy police protec
tion, no meat Is being hauled out.
Monday night a Joint council of the
local teamsters' union will be held to
determine whether all the union retail
shop butchers ure to be called upon to
stand by the teamsteis and refuse to
handle the meats of "unfair" concerns.
At the leading hotels and restaurants
It was stated today that the supplies
would last three days longer. If the
strike is not settled by that time the
managers do not know what they will
do. It might be possible to get meat If
they had only to deal with the packers'
teamsters, but the staunch sympathetic
stand of the Ice men and coal teamsters
leaves the restaurants completely In the
hands of the strikers.

By i:cluilc Wire from The Associated Press.
Washington, Ma 30. Decoration day
was observed here today perhaps more
eenerallv than ever before. At Arllnc-
l ton, where the principal exercises were
held, a national salute was fired at 12
o'clock. Music was rendered by the
Marine band nnd by the memorial
choir. Upon-arriving at Arlington, the
procession marched to the tomb of the
unknown. During the decoration of tho
tomb by the special committee chosen
from tho different Grand Army of the
Republic organizations and auxiliary
societies, the Marine band played an
appropriate selection. The procession
then broke up, and the decoration of
graves began. A touching feature of
the work of decoration was the strew
ing of flowers over the graves of the
Confederate dead who He buried in a
section of the cemetery.
In the meantime p. vast crowd had
assembled at the amphitheatre, where
the services were conducted. The famil
iar strains of "Nearer, My God, to
Thee," by the Marine band, marked the
beginning of the services. President
Roosevelt's arrival was the signal for
an outbuist of applause, which con
tinued for some time after he had taken
his seat on the platform.
After the Invocation and the rendition
of several numbers by the band and
choir, Mr. E. B. Hay read Lincoln's
Gettysburg address. President Roose
velt followed, and, as, he arose he was
again, greeted 'wilTf cheers and the
plaudits of the Immense audience, which
sti etched fur outside the limits of the
amphitheatre. His remarks were given
the closest attention and he was fre
quently Interrupted by bursts of ap
plause. The president spoke as follows:
"Mr. Commander, comrades, and you
men and women of the United States
who owe your being here to what was
done by the men of the great Civil war,
I greet you and thank you for the honor
done me in asking ine to be present this
day."
President Roosevelt's Address.
It Is a good custom for our country to
have certain solemn holidays In com
memoration ot our greatest men and of
the greatest crlues In our history. There
.should bo but few such holidays. To In
crease their number Is to cheapen them.
Wubhlngton and Lincoln the man who
did most to found the Union, and tho
man who did most to preserve It stand
head and shouldeis above all our other
public men. and have by common con
sent won the right to this pie-emtnence.
Among the holidays which commemor
ate the turning points in American his
tory. Thanksgiving has a significance pe
culiarly its own. On July 4 we celebrate
the birth of the nation; on this day, the
30th of May, we cull to mind the deaths
of thoso who died that the nation might
live, who wagereil all that life holds dear
for the great prize of death in battle,
who poured out their blood like water In
order that tho mighty national structure
nilsed by the far-seeing pattlotlsm of
Washington, Franklin, Marshall, Hamll
ton, and the other great leaders of the
Revolution, great framers of the Consti
tution, should not crumble Into meaning
less ruins.
You whom I address today and your
comrades who woro the blue beside you
in the perilous years during which strong
sad, patient Lincoln bore the crushing
load of national leadership, performed
the one feat the failure to perform which
would have meant destruction to every
thing which makes the namo America a
symbol ot hope among tho nations of
mankind. You did the greatest and most
necessary task which has ever fallen to
the lot of any men on tills Western
hemisphere. Nearly threo centuries hove
passed slneo the waters ot our coasts
wero first furrowed by tho keels of the
men whose children's children were to
Inherit this fair land. Over a century
and a half of colonial growth followed
the settlement; and now for over u cen
tury and a quarter wo luivo been a
nntlon.
Important Tasks.
During our four generations of national
llfo wu hiiAO had to do many tusks, and
somo of them ot far-rcachlng Import
ance; but tho only renlly vital task was
the ono you did, tho task ot saving tho
Union, There were other crises In which
to have gone wiring would have meant
disaster; hut this was the one crisis In
which to huve gono wrong would hava
meant not meiely disaster but annihila
tion. For falluro, at any other point,
atonement could huvo boon inndqj but
had you failed In tho Iron days, the loss
would have been Irreparable, the defeat
Irretrievable, Upon your success de
pended all tho future of tho people on
this continent, und much of the futuio
of mankind as a whole.
You left us a reunited country. You
left us tho right of brotnerhood with the
men in gray, who with such courage and
such devotion for what they deemed the
right, fought against you. Rut you left
us much more even than your achieve
ment, for you left us tho memory of how
It was achieved. You, who mado good by
your vulur and patriotism tho states
manship of Lincoln tuid thq boldlcrshlp
of Grant, huvo set as tho standards for
our efforts In the future both f he way
you did your work In tho war and tho
way In which,' whoa the 'wur was over,
you turned again to tho work of peace..
In war; and peace alike, your example'
will stand as tlc wisest lessons to us and
our children, nnd our children's children.
Just ut this moment, the army of the
United States, led by men who served
among you In tho great wur, Is carrying
to completion a small but peculiarly try
ing and difficult wur In which U Involved
not only ttty honor ot the flag but the
triumph of civilization over forces which
stand for the black chaos of savagery
and barbarism. The task hns not been
ns difficult or an Important as yours,
but, oh, my comrades, tho men In the
uniform of the United States, who have
for tlio last three years patiently and un
complainingly championed the American
cause In tho Philippine Islands nro. your
younger brothers, your sons. They have
shown themselves not unworthy of you,
nnd they are entitled to the support of otl
men who aro proud of what you did.
Barbarity Censured.
These younger comrades of yours have
fought under terrible difficulties and havo
received terrible provocation from a very
cruol nnd very treacheious enemy. Un
der tho strain of these provocations, I
deeply deploro to say that some among
them havo so far forgotten themselves
as to counsel and commit, In retaliation,
acts of cruelty. The fact that for cver
guilty act committed by ono of our
troops a hundred acts of far greater
atrocity have been committed by tho hos
tile natives upon our troops, or upon tho
peaccablo and law-abiding natives who
aro friendly to us, can not bo held to
excuse any wrong-doer on our side. De
termined and unswerving cftort must bo
made, and Is being made, to find out
every Instance of barbarity on tho part
of our troops, to punish those guilty of
It, and to take, If possible, even stronger
measures than have already been taken
to minimize or prevent the occurrence of
all such Instances In the future.
From time to tlmo there occur In our
country, to the deep and lasting shame of
our people, lynchlngs carried on under
circumstances of Inhuman cruelty and
barbarity a cruelty Infinitely worse than
any that has ever been committed by our
troops In the Philippines; worse to the
vltlms, and far more brutalizing to those
guilty of It. Tho men who fall to con
demn these lynchlngs, and yet clamor
about what has been dono In the Philip
pines, are Indeed guilty of neglecting the
beam In their own eye while taunting
their brother about the mote In his. Un
derstand me. These lynchlngs afford us
,no excuse for failure to stop cruelty In
tho Philippines. Kvery cftort Is being
made, and will be made, to minimize
the chances, of cruelty occurring;
But keep In mind that these cruelties In
the Philippines have been wholly excep
tional and have been shamelessly exag
gerated. We deeply and bitterly regret
that any such cruelties should have been
committed, no matter how rarely, no
matter under what provocation, by
American troops. But they afford less
Justification for a general condemnation
of our army than these lynchlngs afford
for the condemnation of the communities
In which they have taken place. In each
case It is well to condemn tho deed, and
It Is well also to refrain from Including
both guilty and Innocent In the same
sweeping condemnation.
In every community there are people
who commit acts of well-nigh Inconceiv
able horror and baseness. If we fix our
eyes only upon these individuals and
upon their acts, and If wo forget the far
more numerous citizens of upright and
honest life, and blind ourselves to their
countless deeds of wlsdom'aud justice and
philanthropy, It Is easy enough to coiv
demn the community. There Is not a city
In this land which wo could not thus
condemn If wo fixed our eyes purely
upon Its police record and refused to
look at what It had accomplished for de
cency and justice and charity. Yet this
Is exactly the uttltude which has been
taken by too many men with reference
to our army In the Philippines; and It Is'
an attitude both absurd and cruelly un
just. Rules of Warfare.
The rules of warfaro which have been
ptomulgated by tho war department and
accepted as the basis of conduct by our
troops In the field are the rules laid down
by Abraham Lincoln when you, my hear
ers, were fighting for the Union. These
rules provide, of course, for the Just se
verity necessary in war. The most de
structive of all forms of cruelty would
be to show weakness where sternness Is
demanded by Iron need. But oil cruelty
is forbidden, and all harshness beyond
what is called for by need. Our enemies
In the Philippines have not merely vio
lated every rule of war, but have made
of these violations their only method of
carrying on the war. We would havo
been justified by Abraham Lincoln's rules
of war In Infinitely greater severity than
has been shown. The fact really Is that
our warfare in the Philippines has been
carried on with singular humanity. For
every act of cruelty by our men, there
have been Innumerable acts of forbear
ance, magnanimity, and generous kind
ness. These are the qualities which have
characterized the war as a whole. The
cruelties hae been wholly exceptional,
on our part.
The guilty nre to be punished; hut In
punishing them, let those who sit at ease
at home, who walk delicately and live
In the soft places of the earth, remember
also to do them common justice. Let not
the effortless and the untempted rail
over-much at strong men who with blood
and sweat faco years of toll and days
nnd nights of agony, and , at need lay
down their lives In remoto tropical jun
gles to bring the light ot civilization Into
the world's dark pluces. The warfare
that has extended tho boundaries of
civilization at the expense of barbarism
and savagery has been for centuries ono
ot tho most potent factors In the pio
gress of humanity. Yet from Its very
nature It has always and everywhere
been liable to dark abuses.
It behooves us to keep a vigilant watch
to prevent these abuses and to punish
those who commit them; but If because
of them we flinch from finishing the task
on which we havo entered, wo show our
selves cravens and weaklings, unworthy
of the sires from whoso loins we Bprang.
There were abuses nnd to spare In the
Civil war. Your fulso friends then culled
Grant a "butcher" nnd spoke of you who
nio listening to mo as mercenaries, as
"Lincoln's hirelings," Your open foes
as In tho resolution passed by tlio Con
federate congress In October, 1SG2 ac
cused you at great length, and with
much particularity, of "contemptuous
disregard of tho usages of civilized war;"
of subjecting women and children to
"banishment. Imprisonment, and death;"
of "muidor," of "rapine," of "outrages
on women," of "lawless cruelty," of
"perpetrating atrocities which would be
disgraceful to suvnges;" nnd Abraham
Lincoln wus singled out for especial at
tack becuuso of his "spirit of barbarous
ferocity." Verily, these men who thus
foully slandered you huvo their heirs to
day In those who traduce our armleB In
tho Philippines, who fix their eyes on lu
dlvidunl deeds of wrung so keenly thut
ut lust they become blind to tho great
woik of peace und freedom that has
already been accomplished.
Tho Worthy Cause,
Pence and freedom uro there two-better
objects for which u soldier can fight?
Well, these nre precisely tho objects for
which our soldteis are fighting In tho
Philippines. When there Is talk of tho
cruelties committed In the Philippines,
icmember always thut by far the greater
proportion of these cruelties huvo been
committed by the Insurgents against their
own people as well as against our sot-dlers-r'and

New York, May 30. R. G. Dun &

Ease In the money market, favorable
crop prospects and confidence abroad
are the encouraging fuctors which out
weigh the disturbing elements of labor
conflicts and unseasonable weather for
retail trade at many points, Efforts
of the depressing Influences arc less
keenly felt because they are believed to
be only temporary. Efforts to placo
contracts for 100,000 tons of pig Iron
deliverable In the second quarter of
1903, Indicate the confidence of the lead
ing consumer as to the future of this
Industry. There Is no cessation of ac
tivity at the mills, and finished prod
ucts are forwarded to 'importunate con
sumers ns rapidly as possible,
, Grain quotations made a decided ad
vance early in the week, which was not
easily explained, except on the basts
of light supplies In sight. This element
was not new, however, receipts having
decreased very materially ' for many
weeks In comparison with last year's
movement. Subsequently the gain was
lost in option trading, although cash'
corn was firmly held.
Failures for the week numbered 194 In
the United States against 148 last year,
and 20 In Canada against 27 a year ago.
