BUTTE. Mont, Oct. IL. Kerr Hardie,
the Scotch socialist, delivered an address
before the Butte Miners union this even
ing:
II am accused of being an anarchist"
he said. which I deny. l only know one
kind of socialism, and that is for the
people to own and control the land,
means of production, and produce every
thing comparatively instead of competl-
lively. L place socialism before every
thing else N politics, because 1 believe
it to be the greatest issue. [ am opposed
10 revolutionary movements to obtain
This end, however, ard 1 desire to see
the change come through the agency OF
the law administrative bodies. The red
flag is the soc:alist.c emblem because it
represents humanity. 1t is an interna-
t:onal emblem. The black, and not the
red, flag is the emblem of anarchy
Hardie r,diculed the Populists, because
they are neither fish, flesh, fowl or good
red herring. In the east, he said, the
PoLulists claim to be a sociaI:stic or
gantzat:on; N the northwest, they are
a farmers alliance, and in Colorado,
Montana and Nevada, they are a silver
party. This weakens it, and prevents it
being a force"
His remarks about the PopuIists were
not well received. as fully two-thirds of
his audience were members of that
parity.
He bitterly denounced the Chicago re-
porters and said the report sent out
about his alleged trouble with the Metho-
d-s6 ministers was a classification, and
that he did not praise anarchy.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct7.-Naturally
the subject uppermost in Attorney
Deuprey's mind was the damaging
statement made by DR.. Gilbert T.
Graham against Durrant who an
nounced his intention to go on the
witness stand and testify that the ac-
cused had confessed to him that he
HAD no notes Of Dr.. Cheney's lecture
rs rattIod the att0rrev not n little.
although he declared that ne was con-
fident of breaking Graham down on
cross examination.
'Why, I am amazed at it." said
Mr. Deuprey; Il cannot understand it.
We have simply landed DR.. Graham
in an uncomfortable place. He says
now that Durrant told him that he
had no notes of that lecture and
wanted to borrow his (Grahams) pre-
sumably to copy them in order to
bolster up an alibi Now. the fact Of
the matter is. Durrant's notes of Dr.
Cheney's lecture were in the posses
sion Of General Dickinson and my
self long before Graham ever called

session almost from the time of Dur
rants arrest. What viii DR. Graham's
testimony amount to as against that?

The department has determined to

been demonstrated from time to time,

a decided difference of opinion among
naval officers as to the suitability of
many of these rules for our own use,
and the department has long sought
tine opportunity to ascertain their value
by a practical demonstration. For the
first time since we began to build a
modern navy the opportunity is now
