the Polish, Lithuanian and Slavonian
residents of the anthracite, coul Holds,

terests have been committed to my care,
hut I beg to assure you that I treasure,
more than lapguago can express, this ad
ditional manifestation of tho good will
and respect of our people.
When I llrst en mo to tho anthracite,
coal Holds I found tho mine workers dis
organized and separated' by raco prejud
ices and religious animosities. Tbcro was
no unity of action and no offeetlvo power
of resistance, but now they aro united,
thoy havo grown to know ono another
better, they recognize tho identity of
their interests and arc prepared to movu
us ono innn In tho advancement of their
common cause,
In tho great struggle, through which
wo just passed your people demonstrated
their splendid power of endurance; their
loyalty and devotion to tho canso of la
bor and unionism was a. remarkable trib
ute to their natural love of Justice and
fair' play,
I am justly proud to bo regarded as thu
leader of such men and If my efforts liavu
contributed to their advancement If I
havo assisted them to a senso of their
rights and icsponslbllltles J feel amply
rewarded for what 1 have done.
These gifts will over icmlnd mo of tho
duty I owo to tho great army of workers
who have icposed confidence In mo anil
followed my leadership during these try
Jug times,
I shall regard It a great favor If you
will express to tho Polish, Lithuanian and

I beg you to say to them that my high,
est ambition shall bo to promote me
wolfore and advance the Interests or
nil tho men and women In their lubor for

I look forward to the time when strikes

und right shall be secured for those who

nlzlng its rights 'and obligations to so,
ui. towit work In harmony for tho com-
s.
moil welfaie of our country and Ig ten
oral good of all our people.
Gentlemen, I thank you with all my
heart. I cannot express my feelings to

tation of tho anthracite regions.

ner In which they hnve defended the
cause ot the miners during our recent

inskl for the foreign citizens; Francis
Tlialn and Anthony Schlosser for the
foreign press.
Shortly before 4 o'clock Mr. Mitchell
left headquarters for the Lehigh Val
ley depot. He was accompanied to the
station by a large and enthusiastic
crowd and when lie boarded the train
he was cheered and wished God speed.
Jt was one of the happiest days In
President Mitchell's experience since
the beginning of the strike.
A movement is said to be on foot
among tho Polish, Lithuanian and
Slavish miners to raise a large sum of
money for Mr. Mitchell.
Mr. Mitchell said he had no desire
for a fund of this character as It would
separate him from his fellow workers.
He believed that no man can acquire
great wealth without wringing It from
the toil of some fellow man. He spoke
of the labor movement as It stands in
the United States today, as an Ameri
can labor movement. In contradistinc
tion, be referred to the British labor
movement, as which In some features,
for example, the restriction of tho
quantity of labor, docs not meet with
his approval. The American labor
movement only wants to restrict hours.
It places no fetters on genius or a
man's capability.
A large force of men were at work
today clearing up the mines for gen
eral resumption tomorrow. It Is said
nearly all the collieries are now In
shape for work and that there will bo
u heavy output of coal tomorrow.

ANOTHER PARK AVENUE
SUBWAY EXPLOSION
Dynamite Blast at Forty-first Street
Injures Workmen Panic in
the Neighborhood.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 2G. Ever since the
big explosion of last winter, folk who
live about the immediate vicinity of
Park avenue and Forty-first street
linve been timid, and every few days
something ballpens In the big pit at
that point to keep them from regaining
a sensaPof security.
There was a blast there yesterday,
which William Bet-shears, in charge of
the work at that point for the Degnon
McLean company, the contractors, says
was all according to programme, but It
landed two men in the hospital, knocked
another senseless, and sent many more
hurrying for courtpraster and arnica,
wliile people from the big hotels and
private houses rushed panle-strleken
Into the streets as the rain of rocks
and timber which followed a tremend
ous report rattled about their domiciles.
Thoy are getting so used to that sort
of thing in the neighborhood that, it is
said, the policeman on whose post the
explosion occurred did not think It
worth while reporting to the West
Thirtieth street station, but word
leached there in a roundabout way, and
the following names of Injured were
secured:
GORDON, WILLIAM, MS Amsterdam
avenue, a workman holding a danger
Hag; scalp wound from Hying debris;
wound dressed by ambulance surgeon'
and ri!turnd to work.
IMKItCH, WILLIAAI, II years old. ill
Last Forty-second street, struck by
rock while running through Forty
first street; scalp wound, taken to
Flower hospital.
T13JIPLK. WILLIAM, II years old, of
Westchester, foreman of laborers;
scalp wound from Hying thnlier, sev
eral ribs broken, and internal injuries
from rock; taken to Now Vork hos
pital, will recover.
Just as the big blast went off car
,25fi of the Madison avenue line had
stopped at the curve of the track from
Park avenue into Forty-second street.
It was crowded, the passengers being
mostly women huppers, and it was
receiving others from the Grand Cen
tral station Several of Its windows
fell in splinters, and there was a mad
rush for the doors amid cries of terror.
Nobody was hurt, but several who
were too scared to move were assisted
from tile car. Policeman Morris of
the East Thirty-fifth street station,
less accustomed to the surprises of tho
subway than his neighbor of tho Ten
derloin, sent word to his station house
where excited citizens hud also hurried,
and under the Impression that there
had been another calamity, reserves
wore sent from there, from the sub
station in the Grand Central station,
and finally from tho West Thirtieth
street station, but there was nothing for
them to do.
The people In charge of tho work In
sisted that no heavier charge of dyna
mite than usual had been used and
that the blast had been properly cover
ed. They were not disposed to talk
much about the matter, but a theory
was advanced thai the explosive had
happened to act upon a weak seam ot
rock at the bottom of the pit, which Is
almost CO feet below the surface.
After a long discussion, Policeman
Klcley of the West Thirtieth street
station arrested Patrick .1, Foley, forty
four years old, of ',Vi Willis avenue,
the blast foreman: but he was promtly
discharged by Magistrate Brann. lu the
Jefferson Market police court, who ac
cepted the statements of other em
ployes that the accident was unavoid
able, PARADE OF THE EIGHTH.

FREE TRADE
UNION IS
ADVOCATED
Plan Suggested for the United
States, Cuba, Porto Rico,
Mexico and Ganada.
SCHEME PROPOSED
BY GENERAL WILSON
In a Speech Before the Commercial
Club of Chicago He Advocates
Free Trade with the Island of
Cuba as a Means of Extending the
Business of This Country and Pro
moting the Best Interests of the
Cubans He Declares. That tho
Monroe Doctrine Applies to Canada
as Well as the Countries of Cen
tral and South America.
By 'exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Chicago, Oct. "0. A free trade union
of the rutted States with Cuba, Porto
Itleo, Mexico and Canada against the
nations of Kurope as a means of ex
tending the commercial supremacy of
tho United States was advocated by
General James II. Wilson, of Wilming
ton, Del., in a speech before the Com
mercial club at the Auditorium lust
night.
General Wilson spoke on the subject,
"Our Relations with Cuba," but, after
advocating free trade with the island
as a means of extending the business
of tills country and promoting the best
Interests of the Cubans, he launched
into the broader theme, In which ho
declared he shared In the views of
President Koosevolt.
Speaking of Canada, he said that
free trade should be given to the Do
minion only on condition that It extend
the American tariff wall against Great
Britain. He declared also that tho
Monroe doctrine applied to Canada as
well as the countries of Central and
South America, and should England
ever make its government of the col
onies oppressive, it would bo the duty
of the United States to Interfere.
A Silly Resolution.
The Teller paragraph to the Cuba
resolution passed by congress prior to
the Spanish war, which declared that
the United States would exercise neith
er sovereignty, jurisdiction nor eontr.pl
over the Island was characterized as
"silly" by the speaker. He said that
it had been added only because the
friends of the resolution feared that
thoy would not pass without it. As for
the American occupation of the island
after the Spanish had evacuated it, he
believed that results would have been
better had American troops remained
long enough only to have seen a gov
ernment thrown together inside of six
months, Instead ot staying there three
years. The Cubans, ho declared, were
capable of becoming good citizens and
eventually the island would be nu
nexed to the United States.
"Then why delay this by retaining a
tariff?" ho demanded. "Let us bring
It about as soon as possible by remov
ing the tariff altogether.
"The state of Illinois, for instance,
does not produce a single thing found
In Cuba and neither does Cuba grow
or manufacture a thing made In Illi
nois. It seems to mo to be an Ideal
situation for a free trade agreement."

ILLITERACY AMONG
THE CHILDREN
A Surprising Difference in Favor of
Foreign-Born Young People Is
Shown in Census Figures.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 2G. The census
ofllce bus Issued a statement, giving a
compilation of figures regarding Illit
eracy among children of Immigrants
and children of natives. The state
ment says:
'"Confining the comparison to chil
dren between the ages of 10 and 14
years In the United states as a whole,
03.0 per cent, of the native white chil
dren of nutlve parents and 09.1 per
cent, of tlie native white children of
foreign-born parents are able to read
and write. This surprising difference
in favor of the children of the foreign
population is due largely to the fact
that the children of the foreign popu
lation live mainly In the Northern and
Western states, where the public school
systems have already reached a high
degree of efliclency, while great num
bers of native white children of native
parents live in the Southern states,
and In that region about 10 per cent, of
such children aro illiterate. When the
comparison is carried out by geogra
phic divisions, the difference between
the two classes in each part of the
United States, except the South Atlan
tic states, is found to be much less
than in the whole country. Yet these
figures indicate that in every region
except the North Atlantic states, the
literate children of immigrant whites
are a larger per cent, of the whole
number of such children than the liter
ate children of native whites are of all
children of native whites. This is part
ly explained by the clustering of the
immigrants and their children mainly
In tho cities and towns, while the na
tive white children ot native parents
live more generally In the rural dis
tricts. Thus, In tho North Atlantic dis
trict there aro 99C.S31 native white chil
dren, 10 to It years of .ago and born
of native parents, of whom 32 per cent,
live in cities, having at least 23,000 in
habitants. On the other hand, among
the 713,170 native white children, 10 lo
11 years of ago and born of foreign
parents who live in the same group of
states, 82 per cent, live in similar cities.
There is no reason to infer from tho
census figures of Illiterate immigrants
aro constituting a permanent Illiterate
class in the pppulutlon.
"It will be noticed, however, that tho
foregoing figures relate exclusively to
immigrants who have been In the
country long enough for their children
born hero to havo reached tho age of
ten years. Whether among the chil
dren of immgrants who have arrived
since 1S90 there is the same eagerness
to acquire at least an elementary edu
cation. It is still too early to determine
from census figures.

recent years been so abused and so
brutally caricatured that It is no won

never did nor never will tell anything

London, Oct. 26. The last ceremonies
connected with the Inauguration of tho
reign ot King Edward VII. occurred to- ,
day, when the king, accompanied by
Queen Alexandra, the Prince of Wales
and almost all the members of the royal
family, drove to the St. Paul's cathe
dral and offered up thanks for the re
covery of his health, which Jiad enabled
him to be crowned.
The weather was rainy and smull
crowds marked the royal progress
through the metropolis. At Temple Bar
the lord mayor of London and the cor
poration, In bedraggled robes, met tho
king and escorted him to the cathedral.
In the nave of St. Paul's were gath
ered several thousand persons, includ
ing Premier Balfour, leading members
of tho nobility, almost all the members
of the cabinet, and the foreign ambas
sadors to Great Britain, among whom
was Mr. Choate. The honorable artil
lery company formed an imposing line:
the members wore their busbies and
carried fixed bayonets. Before the ser
vice was over several of the artillery
men bad fainted as a result of long
standing.
The choir, the chapter and the bishop
of London, the Right Itev. Arthur In
gram, escorted th" king and the queen
to the throne under the reredos. Thero
was a full choral service of thanksgiv
ing, followed by a sermon from the
bishop of London. He laid special stress
upon the fact that this was 'the second
time in his majesty's life that he had
entered St. Paul's to give thanks for
his recovery from a dangerous illness.
At the conclusion of the sermon the
To Deutn was sung heartily.
The royal party then returned to
Buckingham palace and were well
greeted on the way wherever the crowds
were large enough to raise a cheer. In
spite or the rain, King Kdward ordered
that the- carriages be kept open, and
Queen Alexandra bowed and smiled
from behind a small umbrella.
The scene at St. Paul's was more bril
liant than devotional. All the officials
present wore their uniforms and their
decorations, creating a blaze of color
seldom seen in the cathedral. King Ed
ward was dressed in the uniform of a
Held marshal and wore the decorations
of the Order of the Garter.
