and girls employed in Henry Lambert's

PRIDE OF UNCLE SAM.
Great White Squadron of North Atlantic
Has Few Peers

Fort Monroe Va. Sept 10.-The Dol
Dhin returned to Hampton Roads today
with Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, who
has just completed an inspection of the
North Atlantic squadron at sea and while
under full fleet maneuvers. This is the
first inspection made in recent years under
such conditions, and the results were high
ly satisfactory. Under the eye of the as
SlStant secretary an extensive programme
of exercises was successfully executed in
limited period of time.
In summing up the results of his in
spection of the squadron, Mr.. Roosevelt
said:
THE trip has been in every way more
than satisfactory. The target practice
under service conditions. the feet maneu-
vers, the practice with the searchlights at
night in discovering and sinking drifting
targets. have each and all been done in a
way which reflects very high credit upon
the admiral, his captains and their Off
GERS and chews. The signaling, both at
night and in the day time, including the
day signals with the Japanese fireworks,
has been excellent.
THE rapidity and precision of the prac-
tice with the rapid-fire guns and the ex-
traOrdinary accuracy with which the huge
turret guns were fired. were equally note
worthy. There were several matters of
less Importance like the successful use of
carrier pigeons, which also deserved COM
ment. In short, there is every reason to
be satisfied with every detail of the man
agement of the huge warships from the
coming towers to the engine rooms and

here Saturday afternoon, opening the Re

A. Hanna thus spoke on his attitude to-
ward organized la Dor:
''Inasmuch as | am talked of as a can
didate for United States senator | want
to indulge in a few personalities Dur
ing the last campaign newspapers said |
was a labor crusher. That story was
filtered through the filthy newspapers
that were opposed to President Nc
Kinley.
''Well. l employ many men in the city
of Cleveland, and there, where | live. |
don't need to answer the accuse ton that
| am unfriendly to the workingman. For
myself, | will say that | was the first
man in Ohio to recognize organized labor
| never refused to recognize workingmen.
IF it was not for the large crowd here
| would like to use Il popular term and
say it is lie that | am not friendly to
the workingmen. | believe that my pros
perity should be theirs and don't think |
can be successful without their co-ope-
ration.
IF such charges as have been made
are for the purpose OF prejudicing the
labOring men against me | Will leave the
alSe in their hands,
