Tho Party at Kingston.

ALBANY, n. Y, August 1S.-Kings-
ton was reached promptly on Sched-
ule time. Here several hundred peo-
pie were present. After shaking
hands with the people for five minutes
the President said: "My fellow cti-
zenS, you ask for speech. 1t is not
very easy to know what one can talk
about on such an occasion as this.
must speak, therefore, only OF those
things upon which we agree, for / have
no doubt If we were closely interrog-
ated some difference would develop in
the views of those assembled here.
That is one of the things we are proud
of and that tends to the perpetuity and
purity Of our institutions; that we are
permitted to differ in our views, to be
independent in our opinions, and to be
answerable to our conscience TO God only
for the convictions we entertain. Our
situation is one of great favor. We
are pretty widely separated from those
who would hurt us, if there are such.
We do not maintain armies; we do not
need to extend the conscription until it
takes old age and youth. We maintain
only the merest skeleton OF the army,
but we have already seen how speedily
it may develop into gigantic proper
tions, and how, in few months, it may
take on the discipline that makes it
the equal of any in the world.
We have this year a season of
productiveness. God has greatly
blessed US, and it happens that this sea-
son of our abundance is not only good
for US, but for the world, for again. as
many times before, the nations of Eu-
rope by reason of crop failures must
look to US to feed their people. We
have great surplus and market for
it.. AS long as men have free and as
sured equal chance, as long as the labor
Of their hands may bring the needed
supplies into the household, as long as
there are open avenues OF hope and ad-
vancement TO the children they love,
men are contented, they are good loyal
American citizens. (Cheers.)

ing OF the International Social Work
mems Congress In the Halle st. Michael
a committee reported In favor OF pledg-
ing workmen OF all countries not TO

himself as being prepared to advocate
reforms for the benefit OF labor and the
protective legislation demanded by
werkingmen.
During the course Of the day MerlIno,
an Italian Anarchist delegate, was ar
rested by the Belgian police on the
ground that he had previously been ex-
PEELED from Belgium. This arrest
caused some commotion among the
delegates, but Merlino's arrest was al
most forgotten In the scare caused by
the report that the police were con-
templating number of further arrests,
and that all those taken into custody
would be promptly escorted across the
frontier. Sanial, Of New York, and
Knudsen, of Germany, were shortly

the increasingly important part which
the United States played In the economy
OF nations In the course OF his utter
ances, Sanial said that in the United
States the stupendous sum OF seventy
thousand million dollars annually was
actually stolen from the hands OF those
who produced that. "Amid all that
wealth." he continued, "misery increas-
es so fast that the land Of the brave
and the home OF the free Is In reality a
hell"
Delegate Sanial's speech was most
vigorously applauded by the many So
cialists who listened TO his bitter ar
raignment of the land in which he had
found home. After seventeen addi-
tional French delegates had been ad-
mltted to the congress, an uproarons
discussion arose over the arrival OF
Ramos. Spanish delegate, who de-
clared with much pride and enthusiasm
that he represented fifty-ive Anarchist
associations having their headquarters
In Barcelona. Finally after q heated
discussion and much acrimony he was
refused admission.

SPRINGFIELD, o., August 1s.-The
finding late last night of little chubby
faced Louis Niles, son Of DR.. and Ma
dane l.. L. Niles, after long weari-
some and diSheartening search is to-
|day the talk of the town, and adds an
other highly interesting chapter to the
Niles romance replete with dramantic
situations and startling climaXeS. Az
Ter the decision of Judge Neal three
weeks ago, reversing the probate
courts decision giving the wife
custody OF the children Mrs.
Niles was called to Michigan by
the serious illness of her other younger
child. Before going Louis, who Is -FOUR
years old, mySteriOuSly disappeared
The doctor and his friends Immediately
instituted search for him and nave
kept 1t up necessarily. They SuS-
pected Mrs. Mary BenfOld and family
of harboring the child and kept quiet
watch. The daughter was arrested Tor
Implication in the alleged kidnapping
and was released on $1,000 bond.
Mrs. Benfold fled when the oihcerS
appeared, and jumped straight through
the glass of the window. The chlld,
however. could not be found. BenfoldS
do not bear the best Of regulations and
the Doctor was almost heart-brokeR
over the prospects Of their abusing the
child. Niles and seven deputy-cOosta-
bles made a sudden descent on the Ben
fold domicile last night and were met
by the whole family and eventually by
forty Sympathizing neighborS, and a
hard and long conflict ensued and stones
Melted around the officers like hail.
All were more or less In
iured and young Benfold was
BADLY hurt. Young Niles had been con-
fined in the cupboard of the ramShackle
house and at the time in pitch dark
cellar. He was covered with dirt and
filth and was scarcely recognizable. He
ram screaming with JOY 20 his papa, cry
ing that Bonfold had abused him. They
taught him swearing and other vices.
The prospects are that they will have a
hard time OF il I'm the courts. 1t Will be
remembered that both children were
kidnapped six months ago, their curlS
cl,pped off, their hair dyed black and
hofb dressed in girls clothing and sPir-
months search. Madame Niles comes
Of noble French family, has the fiery
disposition of GaulS and fled from a
convent to marry Niles, who was at one
time Professor in the Western Reserve
Medical Institute at Cleveland They
led a regular cat-and-dOg life and finally
separated, and have been fighting over
the children since.
