ROOSEVELT'S LETTER.
Formally Accepts Vice Presi
dential Nomination.
DEALS WITH IMPERIALISM.
BIcKlnloy's l'ullcy In Ilia Philippines Is
Compared to the P.ipanalon Acts of
Olher Presidents, and Ilia Mat
ter Is thoroughly lle
viewed. WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. The tetter
of Governor Roosevelt formally ac
cepting the nomination for vice presi
dent, was mude public last night. In
substance it Is as follows:
OYSTER BAY. N. Y., Sept. 15,
To Hon. Edward O. Wolcott, Chairman
Committee on Notification of Vice
President.
Sir I accept the nomination as vice
president of the United States, tender
rd me by the Republican national con
ventlon, with a very deep sense of the
honor conferred upon me and with an
Infinitely deeper sense of the vital Im
porta nee to the whole country of secur
ing the re-election of President McKln
ley, The nation's welfare Is at stake.
We must continue the work which has
been so well begun during: the present
administration. We must show in fash
ion incapable of being misunderstood
l hut the American neoule. at the be
ginning of the twentieth century, face
their duties In a calm and serious spir
it; that they have no Intention of per
mitting folly or lawlessness to mar
the extraordinary material well-being
which they have attained at home, nor
yet of permitting their flag to be dis
honored abroad.
I feel that this contest Is by no means
Ons merely between Republicans and
V inocratB. We have a right to appeal
to nil good citizens who are far-Bighted
enough to we what the honor and the
Interest of the nation demand. To put
into practice the principles embodied in
the Kansas City platform would mean
grave disaster to the nation; for that
platform stands for reaction and dis
order; for an upsetting of our financial
system which would mean not only
grout suffering but the abandonment of
the nation's good faith; and for a
policy abroad which would imply the
dishonor of the (lag and an unworthy
surrender of our national rights. Its
success would mean unspeakable hum
Illation to men proud of their country,
Jealous of their country's good name,
and desirous of securing the welfare of
their fellow citizens. Therefore we
have a right to appeal to all good men,
North and South, East and West, what
ever their politics may have been In
the past, to stand with us, because we
stand for the prosperity of the country
and for the renown of the American
flag.
Problem of Trust.
One ot the serious problems Wltn
which we are confronted under the con
ditions of our modern industrial civil
ization la that presented by the great
business combinations, which are gen
erally known under the name of trusts.
The prohlt m is an exceedingly diffi
cult one and the difficulty is immense
ly aggravated both by honest but
wronr.headed attacks on our whole in
dustrial system In the effort to remove
some of the evils connected with It, and
by the mischievous advice of men who
either think crookedly or who advance
remedies knowing them to be Ineffec
tive, but deeming that they may, by
darkening counsel, achieve for them
selves a spurious reputation for wis
dom. No good whatever Is subserved
by Indiscriminate denunciation of cor
porations generally, and of all forms of
Industrial combination in particular;
and when this public denunciation is
accompanied by private membership In
the great corporations denounced, the
effect is, of course, to give an air of in
sincerity to the whole movement.
Nevertheless, there are real abuses, and
there is ample reason for striving to
remedy these abuses. A crude or 111-con-si.lered
effort to remedy them would
either be absolutely without effect or
else would simply do damage.
The first thing to do is to lind out the
facts; and for this purpose publicity as
to capitalization, profits, and all else
of importance to the public, is the
most useful measure. The mere fact
of this publicity would In Itself remedy
certain evils, and as to the others, it
would In some cases point out the
remedies and would at least enable us
to tell whether or not certain proposed
remedies would be useful. The state
acting in Its collective capacity would
thus first find out the facts and then
be able to take such measures as wis
dom dictated. Much can be done by
taxation. Even more can toe done by
regulation, by close supervision, and
the unsparing excision of all unhealthy,
destructive and anti-social elements.
The separate state governments can do,
a great deal; and where they decline
to co-operate the national government
tens In.
Our Duly a a at ion.
While paying heed to the necessity of
keeping our house in order at home,
the American people can not, if they
wish to retain their selfrespect, re
frain from doing their duty as a great
nation In the world. The history of the
nation is in large part the history of
the nation's expansion. When the first
constitutional congress met at Liberty
hall and the thirteen original states de
clared themselves a nation, the west
ward limit of the country was marked
by the Alleghany mountains. Even
during th? Revolutionary war the work
of expansion went on. Kentucky, Ten
nessee and the great Northwest, then
known as the Illinois country, were
conquered from our white and Indian
foes during the Revolutionary struggle
and were confirmed to us by the treaty
of peace In 1783. Yet the land thus
confirmed was not then given to us.
It was held by an alien foe until' the
army under General Anthony Wayne
freed Ohio from the red man, while the
treaties of Jay and Pinskney secured
from the Spanish and British Natchez
and Detroit. The doctrine that the "con
stitution fo.iows the flag" was not
then considered either by Jefferson or
by any other serious party leader for It
never entered their heads that a new
territory should be governed other than
in the way in which the territories of
Ohio and Illinois had already been guv-
iiefl under Washington and the elder
Adams; the theory known by this ut
terly false and misleading phase was
only struck out In political controversy
at a much later date, for the sole pur
pose of Justifying the extension ot
slavery into the territories.
The parallel between what Jefferson
did with Louisiana and what ia now be
ing done in the Philippines is exact
Jefferson, the author of the Declara
tion of Independence, and of the "con-
sent of the governed" doctrine, saw no
incongruity between this and the estab
llshinent of a government on common
sense grounds In the new territory;
and he railed at the sticklers for an Im
possible application ot his principle,
saying, In language which at the pre
sent day applies to the situation in the
Philippines without the change of a
word, "though It is acknowledged that
our new fellow citizens are as yet In
capable of self-government as children,
yet some can not bring themselves to
suspend its principles for a single mo
ment." He Intended that ultimately
self-government should be Introduced
throughout the territory, but only as
the different parts became fit for it.
and no sooner. This Is Just the policy
that has been pursued. In no part of
the Louisiana purchase was complete
self-government Introduced for a num
ber of years; in one part of it, the Ind
tan territory, It has not not yet been
introduced, although nearly a century
has elapsed. Over enormous tracts of
It, including the various Indian reser
vations, with a territory in the aggre
gate as large as that of the Philippines,
the constitution has never yet followed
the flag;" the army officer and the
civilian agent still exercise authority,
without asking the "consent of the gov
erned." We must proceed in the Phil
ippines with the same wise caution,
taking each successive step as it be
comes desirable, and accommodating
the details of our policy to the peculiar
needs of the situation. But as soon as
the present revolt is put down and order
established, it will undoubtedly be pos
sible to give to the islands a larger
measure of self-government than Jef
ferson originally gave Louisiana.
Seiiilniilat I.Ike Klllplnoa.
The next step In expansion was the
acquisition of Florida. This was partly
acquired by conquest and partly by
purchase, Andrew Jackson being the
most prominent figure In the acquisi
tion. As in the case of the Philippines,
Florida was acquired by purchase from
Spain, and In Florida the Semlnoles,
who had not been consulted in the sale,
rebelled and waged war exactly ae
some of the Tagala have rebelled and
waged war In the Philippines. The
Seminole war lasted for many years,
but Presidents Monroe, Adams and
Jackfon declined for a moment to con
slder the question of abandoning Flor
Ida to the Semlnoles, or to treat their
non-consent to the government of the
United States as a valid reason for
turning over the territory to them.
Our next acquisition of territory was
that of Texas, secured by treaty after
It had been wrested from the Mexicans
by the Texans themselves. Then came
the acquisition of California, New Mex
ico, Arizona, Nevada and parts of Col
orado and Utah as the result of the
Mexican war, supplemented five years
later by the Gadsden purchase.
The next acquisition was that of
Alaska, secured from Russia by treaty
and purchase, nearly thirty years pass
ed before the next instance of expan
sion occurred, which was over the isl
and of Hawaii. An effort was made at
the end of President Harrison's admin
istration to secure the annexation of
Hawaii. The effort was unsuccessful.
Hawaii has now been annexed and her
delegates have sat In the national con
ventions of the two great parties.
Properly speaking, the question is
now not whether we shall expand, for
we have already expanded, but
whether we shall contract. The Philip
pines are now part of American terri
tory. To surrender them would be to
surrender American territory. They
must, of course, be governed primarily
In the Interests of their own citizens.
Our first care must be for the people
of the islands which have come under
our guardianship as a result of the
most righteous foreign war that has
been waged within the memory of the
present generation. They must be ad
ministered In the Interests of their in
habitants, and that necessarily means
that any question of personal or par
tisan politics In their administration
must be entirely eliminated.
iiictipumo oi Beu-tiovemiiieni.
It must be remembered always that
governing these Islands In the interest
of the inhabitants may not necessarily
be to govern them as the inhabitants at
the moment prefer. To grant self-government
to Luzon under Aguinaldo
would be like granting self-government
to an Apache reservation under some
local chief; and this is no more altered
by the fact that the Filipinos fought
the Spaniards, than it would be by the
fact that Apaches have long been
trained and employed in the United
States army and have rendered signal
service therein; Just as the Pawnees
did under the administration of Presi
dent Grant; Just as the Stockbridge
Indians did In the days of General
Washington, and the friendly tribes of
the Six Nations in the days of Presi
dent Madison.
There is every reason why as rapidly
as an Indian, or any body of Indians,
becomes fit for self-government, he or
it should be granted the fullest equality
with the whites; but there would be no
Justification whatever in treating this
fact as a reason for abandoning the
wild tribes to work out their own des
struction. Exactly the same reason ap
plies to the case of the Philippines.
To turn over the islands to Aguinaldo
and his followers would not be to give
self-government to the islanders; under
no circumstances would the majority
thus gain self-government. They would
simply be put at the mercy of a syndi
cate of Chinese half-breeds, under
whom corruption would flourish far
more freely than ever it flourished un
der Tweed, while tyrannical oppression
would obtain to a degree only possible
Inder such an oligarchy.
Yours truly,
THEODORE RCUdEVELT.

MINERS REMAIN CALM
Quiet Prevails Throughout An
thracite Region.
President Mitchell Rayi That 112,000
Man Are on Strike An Important
Point Settled Miners and Operators
Testing Kuril Other's Strength No Vio
lence Reported.
HAZELTON. Pa., Sept. 18. The first
day of the struggle between the an
thraclte coal miners of Pennsylvania
and their employes ended last night.
Each side is confident of winning and
neither of the contending forces shows
any disposition to yield. With the ex
ceptlon of a trivial Incident at No. 3
colliery of the Lehigh Coal company,
where a gang of boys compelled a mule
driver to seek cover by throwing atones
at him, the contest thus far has been
entirely devoid of violence of any kind.
The exact number of men who struck
cannot at this time be told as onlv es
timates of the number of men who did
not start work were made.
Reports received by the United Mine
Workers officials from the entire an
thracite region were, to them, most
satisfactory. In this territory, known
as District No. 7, there are 16,000 men
employed In and about the mines. Of
this number It ia conservatively estl
mated that about BO per cent, or 8.00C
miners, obeyed the order of President
Mitchell to quit work. Five thousand
of these belong to collieries which did
not work at all and the remaining 3,000
to mines which worked short handed.
The district south of this place known
as the South Side was tied up com
pletely with the exception of Coleralne
Beaver Meadow and Carson's washer
les. In this territory the United Mine
Workers are very strong. On the north
side the upper Lehigh. Milnesvllle, Eb
ervale and Drlfton No. 1 collieries, em
ploying about 1,500 men, are shut down
the mines at Lattlmer and Pond Creek,
employing 1,200 men, are working full.
but every other mine in that big ter
ritory is working with badly crippled
forces. Three of the Markle mines,
over which there has been so much con
tentlon, worked all day with about 65
per cent of their men. On the west
side every colliery started up minus its
unloi. men, except at the Hazle mines,
where the .nlon miners went to work
in consequence of a misunderstanding.
Iinp.irtitut Tolnt Decided.
Mr. Mitchell decided an Important
point yesterday In the matter of arbi
tration. It will be remembered that
last week the miners employed by G. G.
Markle & Co. decided not to strike un
til the firm had passed upon a set of
their own grievances which differ
somewhat from those of the United
Mine Workers. The firm has an agree
ment with its men that if any differ
ences fall of adjustment then the grlev.
ances shall be arbitrated. John Mar
kle, of the firm, agreed to have Arch
bishop Ryan of Philadelphia arbitrate
the differences if the mediators already
decided upon by the firm and the men
cannot come to a satisfactory agree
ment. Mr. Markle gave out an Inter
view to newspaper reporters to this ef
fect and suggested to the reporters that
they go and see what President
Mitchell would huve to say to the prop,
oaltlon, Mr. Markle not caring to be
put on record as recognizing the union.
This was done, and after due delibera
tion Mr. Mitchell replied:
"I regard this as a rather unusual
way of conveying the wishes of Mr.
Markle, but I wish to say that we In
tend to ask the men employed by Mr.
Markle to cease work. We Intend to
use all lawful means to Induce them to
Join the strike. This strike is probably
different from any other strike In the
anthracite region before. If the miners
employed by one big company in the
anthracite region fall, they all fail.
They may prove successful In some
companies for a brief time, but the ra
tio of wages in the entire anthracite
region will get to a certain leveL-ft
we succeea at one piace ana ran t m.
other the low wages must be brought
up to meet the higher, or the higher
must come down to meet the lower, so
that I am not now, and do not propose
to, officially accept or reject for our
organization any proposition for a set
tlement that is not made either by the
company or by some other person to
whom they will give authority to act
as their representative."
Must Vfalt a Few Days.
Father Phillips, who suggested the
Idea of having Archbishop Ryan
brought in as arbitrator on behalf of
the men, would not talk on the decision
of President Mitchell, but in speaking
on the subject of an early settlement of
the strike, he said: "There can hardly
be anything done for a few days, and
it is likely that the nature of the arch
bishop's efforts may depend upon the
contingency that may arise In the
meantime or due to the continuance
of the strike. I will watch events close
ly and keep him informed of every op
portunity where mediation or interces
elon can serve to make this strike of
brief duration. That is about all that
can be accomplished or even attempted
now that the conflict has begun, unless
overtures for arbitration should be
made to him, but, of course", that will
have to come from both sides agreeing
to It. It Is too early to look for a basis
of negotiations, or mediation, as the
contending forces will probably test
each other's strength before deciding
on peace or continued war. It Is yet
hoped that it will be peace."
It Is not unlikely that Father Phillips
will go to Philadelphia to see Arch
bishop Ryan this week for the purpose
of getting the latter's views on the
matter of attempting a settlement, and
also to explain the situation fully to
his eminence.
Number of Men on Strike.
President Mitchell last night gave out
the following statement:
"Information received up to this time
Indicates that 112,000 mine workers' are
on strike in the anthracite region. Of
this number 73,000 are In District No. 1,
30,000 in District No. 9, and 10,000 in
District No. 7.
"Reports received are to the effect
that large numbers of those who went
to the mines today will Join the suspen
sion tomorrow.
number of men employed in and about I
the coal mines of the anthracite dis
trict will be idle In the next few day.
"The men appear determined to con.
tlnue on strike until their demands fot
Justice have been acceded to.
"The number of men out on strike
exceeds that of any other industrial
contest in the history of our country."
NO POLITICS IN IT.
President Mitchell Says the Charge It
Klfllmlnii and Nonsensical.
HAZLKTON. Pa., Sept, 18.-In speak
lng of the charge that politics might
have something to do with the present
strike. President Mitchell said:
"Politics will not, cannot and must
not enter into the strike. Personally 1
approach the contest as a mother would
her baby's health. The men who ar
object of that mother is restoration of
her bay's health. The men who are
called leaders In this strike are animat
ed with the same consideration. Thert
cannot be and shall not be any conten
tion in a political sense as the declara
tion of the strike. The leaders feel,
and they want their men to feel and
they want the public to know, that thU
is a fight for human liberty. It would
be nonsensical, it would be cruel, foi
any one to inject politics."
CREMATING THE DEAD.
Galveston Aflame With Huge Funeral
Pyres, Fire lielng the Only Agent
With Which Pestilence Can
lie Fought,
GALVESTON, Sept. 18. The tentr)
day after the storm, and still the grue
some work goes on of recovering thf
dead from the gigantic mass of debrit
that lines the south side of what re
mains of the city. Sunday 107 bodlef
were recovered and cremated. Among
them was a mother with suckling bab
tightly clasped to her breast.
The body of Major W. T. Levy, Unit
ed States emigrant inspector of this
district, was among the number. He
made a struggle to save his wife and
three children. All were lost. Th
bodies of the wife and children have
not been recovered. The number cre
mated yesterday will exceed 100.
The task of recovering the bodiet
that are Jammed beneath the immense
rick of debris extending from the east
ern to the western limits of the city, a
distance of over three miles, is a her
culean one and the most expedltiout
way of removing the whole from a san
itary point of view Is by fire.
This, however. In the erlpnled condi
tion of the fire department and water
works would endanger the remaining
portion of the city. As It now stands,
this Immense amount of debris, strewn
with bodies, the carcasses of decaying
animals, etc., is a sore menace to the
health of the city and is the most diffi
cult problem the board of health hai
to deal with.
The work of opening up the street!
and disinfecting them is being vigor
ously prosecuted. The debria and gar
bage Is being removed, 250 vehicles ol
every description carrying it out to a
safe place where it is burned. In a few
days all streets will be opened for the
passage of vehicles. It was decided at
a meeting of the central executive com
mittee that all the laborers now em
ployed in burying the dead, cleaning
the buildings and moving the debrit
from the streets and sidewalks shall
receive $1.50 per day and rations. Here
tofore they have been working foi
nothing, and If they refused were im
pressed by the military.
The relief work of the sick and in
jured is well In hand and under the di
rection of skilled physicians and nurset
it ia Improved daily. Eleven hundred
tents were received yesterday by the
board of health. All except 300, re
tained for hospital purposes, will be
distributed by the chairman of the va
rious ward sub-committees to sheltei
the homeless In their respective wards.
KNOWN DEAD, 4,078.
Governor Bayers Is Distributing Rellel
Wherever Needed.
HOUSTON, Texas, Sept. 18. The lat
est list of the dead in the Galveston
disaster printed by the Post, revised to
date, shows the loss of 4,078 lives. The
paper says none of the persons whom
names are printed in the list have been
heard from and that a great number
of namea have been furnished by rela
tives of those dead.
It is estimated that 8,000 people have
left Galveston. Others have gone Into
the interior or to other states. The
number coming up on the trains yes
terday showed no falling off.
Governor Sayers has taken charge ol
the relief work here as well as at other
points and money is being given out
where needed more than provisions and
clothing.
The total number of people fed here
Saturday was 16,144 persons. Sunday
the number Increased slightly. Supplies,
are now coming in steadily and all or
ders for provisions and clothing are
being given on general stores in the
city.
A number of prominent Galvestonlana
were here yesterday letting contracts
for new buildings and ordering new
