Altoonn, Pa., Sept. 20. l'rcsiilent
Tuft declared that this country Is en
tering upon the most prosperous period
in Its history in a speech at the fiftieth
anniversary of the conference of loyal
;var governors. Mr. Taft had lunch in
the same room In the Logan hotel
where the "war governors" met in 1S(2
at the request of Secretary of State
Seward to uiaUe plans for enlarging
the Union army. In the morning Pres
ident Taft, Governor John K. Tenor
and n number of state local notables
reviewed u school children's parade.
Mr. Taft said In part:
Governor Tiner. Ladles and Gentlemen.
My Fellow Citizens One hundred mil
lions of people, flO.OJO.000 between the
oceans and 10,0U0,0u0 In our ocean depend
encies, constitute our population, and to
day. rlKht In the harvest time, we nre
garncrlns crops that make possible tho
greatest prosperity that has ever faced
this country, and we are today where
every man and every woman can have
what thoy will, when wnses nro tho high
est and the Individual happiness of every
one averages higher Uian ever before.
Fifty years ago today wo were In the
throes of rebellion, tho like of which had
never boen seen In the world before and,
I hope, may never be seen In the world
again. We wero torn apart brothers and
sisters, families, all Amorlcans and we
were struggling to lift ourselves out of
the slough of despondency, to cut out the
cancer of slavery that had boon tho cause
of all of our woe. We had been striving
for two years to bring about a better con
dition of affairs and bring back the erring
elsters and compel fhem to como Into the
Union again.
Early In September, 1SG2, your great war
governor, Andrew G. Curtln, concluded
that while the war governors had been
working and helping along tho cause as
well as they could the time had come
when 3U0.OUO moro troops were necessary
to accomplish the task before tho federal
government, and so he suggested to Mr.
Seward, whom ho mot In New York, that
It might be a good thing to call the loyal
governors and have them talk It out and
tell the president how they sympathized
with him and how they were determined
to uphold his hands.
And now, fifty years afterward, what I
like to think of Is that Abraham Lincoln
Is looking down on us and rejoicing in his
heart that that noblo but weary life of bis
ending In the tragedy was offered up for
something that was worthy and that now
as ho sees tho 100,000,000 of his fellow citi
zens In happiness he rejoices that he gave
all that ho had to bring that about.
The president left Altoonn for Phila
delphia, where his private car Ideal
was attached to the Federal express,
which Is due iu Hoston today.

Installment of 100,000 r'u tho uost of
the Havana sewer and pavlngiworks
threatens to bring to nCflsls t,hc des

Tho government has jad much trou

payments, which the American state
department has felt obljged toUcuiand
to protect American contractors and
carry out obligations specifically Im
posed In the treaty.
With International resources almost
exhausted tho Cuban government Is in
n dilemma. It elUier must redueo the
civil establishment by about CO per
cent In the interest of econonriior se
cure tho consent of the Unite t States
to another foreign loan. Iu the first
case the Gomez government might fear
results upon the coming elections. In
tho second the American government
Is almost certain to refuse to approve
n new loan without safeguards for Its
disbursement that might be gnrded
as humiliating to Cuban natioi rpridc.
