( New Haven, Conn., Aug. 22. Presi

Englund tour today and New Haven
whs the first point visited by the na

hearing the president, was sighted oft
New Haven harbor just before 1
o'clock. Half an hour later the vessel
was lying alongside Belle dock, having
made the run up New Haven harbor
to the accompaniment of universal
salutes.
The president acknowledged the sa
lutes from the yacht's quarter deck.
He came ashore at 1.20 p. m. at a spe
cial landing constructed for the occa
sion. Mayor John P. Studley and a
committee from the board of aldermen
greeted the guest the moment he land
ed and conducted him to the carriage In
waiting. Belle Dock freight yards were
roped off and the approaches were
everywhere guarded by police. Troon
A, Connecticut National Guard consti
tuted the military escort. At l.'JS the
procession moved. The mounted police
were followed by Troop A. and then
came carriages containing the president
and his party and invited guests, to
the number of sixty. The programme
provided for nothing but a drive and
the progress of it took the distin
guished visitor through the slums, the
factory quarters and the center of the
city.
All traffic over the line of march dur
ing themour of the president's efts whs
suspended, and the city's factories and
shops we're closed between 1 and 2.30
o'clock. The workmen lined the win
dows and crowds thronged the streets
hours before the drive began. The
city was gaily decorated with flags and
hunting. The drive covered less than
four miles of distance and was sched
uled to occupy less than an hour.
The president's train left here at 2.30
ji, m. The president stood on the rear
platform of the train and bowed re
peatedly to the throngs. The locomo
tive and factory whistles In the vicinity
eounded parting salutes for several
minutes.
Reception at Meriden.
Meriden, Conn., Aug. 22. The special
train bearing President Roosevelt and
party reached here at 3 o'clock. A
ealute of guns greeted the president
nnd all bells in town were rung while
S0.000 people lined the streets through
Which the procession, escorting the dis
tinguished visitor passed. The pro
gramme included singing by 1,000 school
children stationed on-the lawn In front
of the Methodist church and a greeting
o the president by the local veterans of
the Grand Army in front of city hall.
Just before departing from the city,
President Roosevelt addressed the
crowd briefly from the rear platform
of his cu ie Mayflower, thanking the
people for i. r reception tendered him.
Hartford, Conn., Aug. 22. The presi
dent on his arrival ut the depot here
this afternoon was cordially welcomed
toy a committee of representative citi
zens. He was taken for a drive around
the city, occupying with Col. Jacob L.
Greene, a handsome Victoria automo
bile, in charge of two expert New York
fchauffeurs. He was enthusiastically
jcheereii all along the route.
In Fe park, one of the outlying
spots of the city, the president was
erected by 10,000 worklngmen who
presented him with a magnificent .floral
horseshoe inscribed:
"Worklngmen's Welcome to Our
President."
The President's Address.
Father Michael Sullivan made a few
remaks of welcome, In which he com
mended the honesty and sincerity of
purpose of the president In all his acts.
.The president responded and his re
marks were frequently interrupted by
npplause. He said:
Father Sullivan: I came here to say
soma words this evening myself, hut
nothing that I can say then will In any
way have the significance that the gift
from the wage workers of Haitford Iiiih,
that the language you have used, Father
Sullivan, in connection with making it,
has, and I am sure thnt Colonel Gicene,
Senator Piatt himself and all of my other
hosts will pardon me for saying that no
greeting that 1 have jecelved or can ie.
cevo In Connecticut, will, or can begin
1n please me nu much as this one that 1
ipcelvn through you, (Loud upplause),
Tatlter Bulllvan, I should, of cotuse, he
wholly unlit for the position I occupy, jf
I did not give my best thought and best
pill pose to trying to serve the interests
ot the toller of Ameiica, (Applause). The
man who works with his hand, and, of
couise, also the map who works with Ills
?ead If J did not try to servo each de
rent American citizen according to the
bent of my capacity and certainly my
most painstaking effort, my most reso
Into purpose, shall be given, and, If I
may say so, Is being given to trying to
do anything that can be done to help our
people. Perhaps I can do this best by
trying to help us well as I can their best
purpose and their best thought (cries of
''good") and that kind of lepreseutntlve
1 shall strive to be uccoidlng to tho light
that Is elven me. One thing moie. 1
should like to accept that gift as in some
way pergonal to myself, but I would
rather uccept'lt as I know It Is meant, as
OF NEW ENGIWND
a gift from Americans tor' ,'iinn who
lor the lime being embol, ' imeilcan
governmental principles (cr, J 'A "good"
and cIicpih) the principles f.''.ile and
fair dealing with all men, i .,' it men
shall have their lights tinil.'iHV law,
that all shall be given a fair l(jj'i.n even
chance In the struggle for life as we can
best give It. I thank you. (Loud and
continued applause),
Tonight, after his address at the Co
liseum, the president was the guest of
Executive Secretary John T. Robinson.
The president Invited Mayor Sullivan
in meet him at Mr. Itoblnson's home.
The mayor Is an ex-clerk, who was
elected by the laboring men, a fact
the president was familiar with, and
he expressed a desire to have a per
sonal chat with Mr, Sullivan.
President Roosevelt expressed hi" sat
isfaction at the substitution of drives
for conventional handshaking. This
method of entertainment seems to have
given the people the opportunity de
sired of seeing him. H obviates the
crush that has been so objectionable
In previous receptions.
Five thousand men and women
crowded the Coliseum here tonight' to
hear the address of President Hoose
velt, At least two-thirds of the audi
ence were worklngmen and the enthu
siasm manifested by them when the
president alluded to the rights of the
toller aroused the keenest Interest.
President Roosevelt was Introduced to
the audience In the Coliseum by Col
onel Jacob L. Greene. Through Sena
tor Piatt, he tendered his thanks to the
state for the splendid reception accord
ed him, and to Mayor Sullivan he made
his thanks lu the people of the city of
Hartford. Then, turning to the audi
ence he said:
We are meeting problems which will
ie(iilre all our ability to solve and while
there are occasions when, through legis
lation or administrative action, the gov
ernmental rcprccntathcs of the people
can do especial service to one set of our
citizens, yet I think you will agice with
me that In tho long run the best way In
which to serve any one et of our citizen1
Is to serve all alike well (loud nppla-!--"!:
to try to act in a spirit ot fairness aid
justice to all; to give to each man hi
lights, to safeguard each man in his
lights, and. so far as in me lies, while,
I hold my piesent position, I will be ti uci
to that conception or my duty. (Ap
plause). And so I have finished what I
have to say that was suggested by the
very touching and pleasing incident of
the afternoon's ride.
Our Internal' Problems.
Nnwit1, waif- to speak to you tonight
not oji'dur internal pioblems as a nation,
but on some of the external problems
which we have had to face during the
last four years Tho internal problems
are the most important. Keeping our
household straight Is oar Mist duty, but
we have got other duties. Just exactly
as each man who is woith bis salt must
first of all be a good husband nnd good
father, a good bicad winner, a good man
of business, so as to deal with his own
home lelatloas, and yet must, In addition
to that, be a gcod citizen for the state at
large, so a nation must first take euro
to do well Its duties within Its own bor
deis, but must not make of that fact an
excuse for falling to do Its duties which
Ho without Its own borders.
The events of the last few years, have
forced the Amc-ilc-an republic to take a
larger position in the world than ever be
foie, and therefore me more than ever
before to concent Herself with questions
ot policy which affect her Intel esls be
yond her own borders. As a people wo
now have duties and opportunities in the
tioplc seas and lands south of us as well
as those of the f.uthest east. And much
depends upon the way In which we meet
these duties, they way In which we take
advantngo of these opportunities.
From the days of Monroe. Clay and the
younger Adams, we as a people have al
ways looked with Interest upon tho West
Indies and the Isthmus, connecting tho
two Americas, feeling that anything hap
pening in those regions must bo of con
cern to our welfare. There Is now ampler
reason than ever befoie for this feeling.
The outcome of the Spanish war pat us
in possession of Poiso Wco and bi ought
us Into peculiarly close touch with Cuba,
while tho successful negotiation ot the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty at least cleared
tho way for tho construction of the
isthmian canal. Poito Ulco, It Is a
pleasure to say, may now serve as an
example ot tho best methods of ndmlnts
teilng our Insular possessions. So ex
cellent have been the effects of our ad
ministration nnd legislation concerning
this Islnnd that their very excollenco has
resulted In their being almost forgotten
oy inose at nonie. in making appoint
ments to the Insular service It Is neces
sary to dlsicgaid any question of more
party expediency and to look at the mnt
ter solely from the standpoint or the hon
or of our own nation and of the welfaie
of the Island Itself. This has been tho
standpoint adhered to In selectlm; the
men who repiesent our government In
Porto Rico governor, tieasuivr, attorney
geneial, judges, supeilntendent of educa
tionevery one. In consequence, all
Amei leans should feel a real prhlo In ihu
way In which their compatriots who wi-ri
lesponslble for tho government of the
Island have admlnlsteied It.
Our Promise to Cuba,
111 Cuba, the pioblem was larger, more
complicated and mote dlfllcult. Mere
again, wo kept our promise absolutely
After having delivered tho Island from
Its oppiessors, we refused to turn It loose
off hand witli the reiliiluty that It would
sink Into chaos and savagery. For over
three yeurs we admlnlsteied It on u plane
higher than It had ever i cached before
dm lag tin four centuilcs slneu the Span,
hud Mrst landed upon Its shores. U'o
biought mm ul and physical cleanliness
Into the government. We stamped out
yellow fever in Itself an estlmahla ser
vice both to the Quhau people and to tne
people of our own southern stales. We
established a school system. Wo made
life and pioperty ijecuie, so that indus
try could ugalu begin to thrive. Then',
we bad laid deep ami bioail the foun
dation upon which Uvll liberty uud na
tional Independence must rest, wo turned
tho Island over to the hands -of tboso
whom the people had chosen as (he fouu
dois of the new republic. It Is a repub
lic with which our gieat lepublle must
ever lie closely knit by the lies of common
Interests and common Inspirations. Cuba
must ul ways be pecullaijy related to us
In International politics, She must In In
ternutlonal affairs bo to a degree a part
of our political system, in return, she
mutt have peculiar lelations with us
economically. We expect her to accept a
political attitude townrd us which wo
think wiscHt both for her nnd lis.
In return, we must lie prepaied to put
her in an economic position as regatds
our tnilrt system which will give her
snmo measure of the prosperity Which we
enjoy. We cannot, lu my Judgment,
avoid taking this attitude If we arc to
persevere In the emit hc which we have
outlined for ourselves as a nation dining
the past four yeais: and, therefore, I be
lieve that it Is only a matter of time and,
1 trust, only a matter of a very short
time befoie we enter Into reciprocal
trade relations with Cuba.
The president paused off the canal
question by saying the isthmian canal
represents probably the great engineer
ing feat of the twentieth century and
that a commission will have to be
selected t6 control Its details from the
very best men of the nntlon, men of the
highest engineering and business and
administrative skill, who will consent
to undertake the work.
As to the Philippines.
In referring further on to the Philip
pines the president after taking up the
Spanish war, and some of the trouble
some questions left us through that
war, said:
We made up our minds to stay In the
Islands to put down violence, to estab
lish peace and order nnd then to Intro
duce a Just and wise civil rule, accom
panied by a measure of self-government
which should Increase as rapidly as the
Islanders showed themselves fit for It.
it was certainly a formidable task. Tho
utmost care has been exercised in choos
ing the bet type of Americans for the
high civil positions, and the actual work
of administration has been done, so far
as possible by native Filipino officials,
serving under these Americans, it is
worth noting that already the Philippine
people have received a greater share of
self-government, thnt they have more to
ay as to how they shall be governed,
than Is the case with any people In, the
Orient which Is tinder European rule.
Congiofis has, with far-seeing wisdom,
heartily supported all that has been done
by the executive. Wise laws for the gov
ernment of the Philippine islands have
been placed upon the statute books, and
under those laws provosion is made for
the Introduction Into the principles of
representative government wlilch only the
delay absolutely necessary to allow for
the establishment of definite peace, for
the settling down of the country.
in slioit, wo are governing the Philip
pines pilmarlly In their interest and for
theirH-ery great benefit.

PILLSBURY
STILL AT SEA
In the Mimic War Admiral HIqqIiv

Seems Perfect.

Everything Fnvored an Attack by

Battleships Anchored Off Thatch
in's Island Last Night.
By Exeluslie Wire from The Associated Press,
Kockport, Mass., Aug. 22. Com
mander Pillsbury and his fleet of three
auxiliary cruisers are still at sea. Un
less the commander of the white squad-
.ron makes an attempt to reach a har
bor within the next sixty hours from
midnight, his efforts to win a victory
in the game of mimic war will fall, for
theoretically, it will be considered that
his ships have sunk or he has found
that the blockade established by Ad
miral Hlgglnson from Portland to Cape
Cod cannot be broken. It Is only fair
to say that naval experts believe that
Admiral Illgginson's defense is good.
Everything today certainly favored
an attack by the enemy, but no scout of
the blue squadron reported signs ,of
Commander Pillsbury's fleet. Fog and
storm swept the coast during the after
noon and while for a time tonight the
sky, was clear, the haze on the water
continued.
Tonight Admiral HIgginson's three
battleships were still at anchor off
Thatcher's island and besides them
were two torpedo boats but a nasty
sea was running and the lightning oc
casionally lighted up the bay. At mid
night the flagship's launches found
dlfllcult Work in making landings and
incoming craft reported a wild sea out
side. On the battleships the men are
wide awake as every one expects to
get word of the enemy before day
light. FUEL FAMINE IS AN
INDUSTRIAL HANDICAP
Protracted Idleness of the Anthracite
Mines Is Causing Serious Lack
of Motive Power.
By Kxelusbc Wire from The Associated Pres.
New York, Aug. 22. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomor
row will say:
"Fuel scarcity is still the one serious
Industrial handicap. Protracted idle
ness at anthracite mines Increase the
pressure for soft coal and coke, and,
despite new records of output, de
liveries are utterly Inadequate owing
to the lack of motive power. This
freight blockade of coke trains has
closed many furnaces, while the in
creasing call for transporting facilities
on crop account gives little prospect of
early relief. As the active blast fur
nace capacity of this country decreases
through want ot fuel, foreign pig iron
is purohased more freely and Scotch
warrants have advanced because of the
steady demand. Domestic needs nre
now far beyond all precedent, and even
with the available home capacity active
there would be imports although less
than are now arriving. There Is much
that is gratifying In this state of affairs
but there is also a drawback. During
the recent period for exceptional domes
tic demnnd, many export orders have
been sacrilled, which German and Bel
gian makers secured,
Output of the Connellsvllie region con
tinues above all records, but stocks ac
cumulate. "Textile mills nre well occupied, busi
ness gradually Increasing In the cotton
goods division and demands for quick
delivery emphnslze the fact that stocks
are low and requirements for con
sumption are pressing.
"Staple products average somewhat
higher In prices, owing to less uniform
ly good news from the agricultural sec
tions. No serious disaster occurred,
but excessive rain retarded the develop
ment of grain and interrupted harvest
ing. In nuiny cases where the date of
matin Icy lias been postponed, there is
nlways the possibility of Injury from

tho men were given attention at the
steel works' hospital and sent to their
homes. Several laborers were hurt
about their limbs by falling from the
car In the wreck, but were able to go
to work.
A heavily loaded ore car, which ran
away on a trestle at No. 4 furnace, did
the mischief. How it started is not
known, but it Is supposed that the
brakes failed to hold on the incline and
the car started down the slope toward
the lK-inch rolling mill. Just before It
began to move, a work train bound for
the extension at Highspire stopped on
a crossing below Mohn street to take
on a number of men for that part of
tho steel plant. While tho train was
standing on the oiosslng, the runaway
came shooting down the Incline and
struck a gondola car, In which over
twenty men were seated.
