LONG SAYS GO SLOWLY.
Opposed TO an Extravagant Increase
in the Navy and Army.

Boston Oct. 21-Secretary of the Navy
Long received a genuine New England
welcome at music hall last night on
the occasion of the annual dinner of
the Republican club of Massachusetts,.
There were more than 800 representa-
tive Republicans of New England at
the tables. The galleries were crowRed
by ladies and gentlemen. The other
guests Of honor were Governor Wolcott,
Senator Lodge and Congressman Ding
ley. The guests and many of the lead
ing Republicans of the state were seat
ed on the platform. Secretary Long
was the principal speaker. When he
arose he received a tremendous ovation,
it being several minutes before he could
proceed on account of the enthusiastic
reception accorded him. In the course
of his address, the secretary said:
MY experience in the cabinet has
confirmed the impression that have
long cherished that cabinet officer
with or without a vote should have a
place upon the floor of congress, where
he shall at once be subject to question
in all matters of his administration and
have the opportunity in person to sub
init the needs and demands of his branch
of the public service"
Quent tribute to the heroism of the
navy in the recent war with Spain, and
in concluding he said:
Il agree with the evident proposition
territory the new duties that are upon
us and the now enlarged Importance
Of our sea power, the increase in our
naval force should go on, but am not
one of those who would have it ex-
travagantly expanded and I would pre-
fer a reasonable increase, commenSu-
rate with the increased need. Too rapid
a development will surely lead to re-
action in the popular mind and ten
dency to the extreme as happened after
the war of the union. Nor must we FOR
get that the increase of the army and
navy is necessarily attended with a
very great increase in expenditure, ana
therefore in taxation, and that in the
zeal of the present moment we must
stand upon the old fundamental prin-
ciple that under no circumstances
should this become a country where a
military arm is q burden instead OF a
defense and that the military establish
ment must be subordinate by a long m
tervaI to the educational and the in
dustrial.
IF ever there was a man who loved
his country, a servant of the public
whose sole purpose was to do his duty,
and who was guided by a prayerfuI
sense of accounta bility to God and fell
low men it is President Mckinley.
For two years have sat at the cab
met table and I recall not one occasion
when. in the discussion there of any
question, one word has been uttered
with regard to it's effect or its bearing
on the personal or political fortunes OF
the president or any member OF ms
cabinet or of the party of which he was
the choice two years ago as today ne
is the choice of all the people"
Governor Wolcott and Senator Lodge
also spoke.

KANSAS GRAIN SHORTAGE
Will Be Examined INTO by Commit
tee at Kansas City Elevators.

Kansas City, Oct PA joint com
rnittee of grain men, composed OF n. 3;
Huatt of Willis Kan; E. j. smiley OF
Concordia, Kan; L. Cortelyou OF Mus
cotah, KAN, and H. J.. Strong of Coney-
vile, Kan, representing the Kansas
Grain Dealers association, and B. Z.
Christopher, representing the Kansas
City board of trade, met in the direc-
tors Office at the board Of trade yes
The purpose of the committee was to
appoint a number of check men, to be
stationed in the elevators in this city,
whose duty it viii be to note the cond1-
ton of grain shipped here from Kansas,
and to check the weights OF the OIIlcldA
weighers of that state. There has been
dissatisfaction among grain men OF
Kansas in regard to the weighing OF
their shipments at this and other points
and it is to remove that dithcuIty tnaC
this action has been taken. With the
hearty cooperation of the local pOaTa
of trade and the chief We1ghmaster OF
the state of Kansas, the grain dealers
of that state have now established
system whereby they hope to at least
be able to place the blame where 1t be
longs when complaints of short weights
are made.
The committee appointed five check
men, with M. G. COnsley of Wellington,
kan, as manager, with an office IN the
Exchange building. The four others
J. A. Miller of Wichita G. A. Strait
of NTuscotah Victor Farris of Concord1a
and F. A. Jones of HoltOn.
Before action upon the matter was
taken it was presented to the Grain
Dealers association, the entire 400 mem
bers concurring in it. The checkmen
will be stationed by the committee in
the various elevators of this city, the
proprietors of which having graclously
accorded them that privilege, and VIII
begin their labors on November L
Eventually sufficient number of clerks
will be appointed to cover the entire
elevator system of the city. The check
men are to be paid out of fund which
will grow from the collection of % cents
for each carload of grain received from
Kansas.
The Kansas Grain Dealers associa-
ton is formed by the buyers and snip
pers of grain in that state It's object
is mutual protection. Its members say
its affairs are in a more prosperous ana
promising condition that they have
been since the organization two years
ago. and state that it is only a matter
of time until all the grain dealers OF
Kansas will belong to it.
The committee, with H. L. Strong as
chairman and ]. D. Cartner as secre-
farv. will continue it's work of arrang-
ing details today. 1t is their intention
to have their checkmen at work IN eV-
ery elevator in this city in a very snort
