Mr.. Jordan spoke against the measure

five times as high where they were grant

Chicago Alton train; seven persons on
train, including deputies and imported
laborers, and seven guards inside the
Lukens stockade.
1t was at the stockades, however, where
the fiercest and most disastrous encounter
of tie day occurred. When the armei
deputies within the wooden enclosure saw
the train bearing down to the mine they
emerged from within to assist the armed
guards in protecting the negroes while the
latter were being transferred from the
train to the enclosure. Another Dattle
with the miners was the result.
Across the railroad track in field with
in easy gunshot distance considerable
BODY OF striking miners was drawn mp in
order for deadly conflict. Upon seeing
them the deputies, it IS claimed, opened
fire.
Hundreds OF shots were exchanged, this
time with serious results. 1t Is the asser-
ton OF the miners who were in this attack
that the most deadly fire from the coal
company's property came from the tower
at the shaft. In the meantime the force
on the train decided that the conflict was
growing entirely too hot, and instead OF
coming to q dead stop the throttle was
pulled wide open and the train was hur-
ried on to Springfield with whatever dead
and wounded it had on board.

Some curiosities of Chicago's popu-
lation are shown in the recently COM
pleted school census, particularly as
to the proportion Of foreign-born. One
block, for instance, in the Sixteenth
Ward has only seven American-born
residents out of a total of 2727, the
majority being Poles, with a sprink-
ling of several other nationalities. An
other block near by has atotal popula-
ton of 231, only about one-sixth OF
whom are natives, Germans predomi-
mating here. But the record for alien
residents belongs to two other neigh
boring blocks, with total population
of 1854, of whom 1888 are Poles, the
other man being Chinaman. The
total population of the city is esti-
mated TO be 1851, 5SS, which would
indicate growth of over seventy per
cent. since 1904 most remarkable
increase in urban population.

''The war was no more invited by US than
were the questions which are laid at our
door by its results. Now, as then, we will
do our duty The problems will not be
solved in day. Patience will be required;
patience combined with sincerity OF pur-
pose and unshaken resolution to the right,
seeking only the highest good OF the ma
tion and recognizing no other obligation,
pursuing no other path but that OF duty.
Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith
followed the President with a brief ad-
dress complimenting the people OF the
West on their great exposition. Then the
band played Yankee Doole," "The Star
SpanCled Banner and "Dixie;" the crowd
gave three mighty cheers for their Presl-
dent, and the partv then left the platform.
The President witnessed a sham battle
by Indians, one Of the features OF the falr.
Before the battle the Indians, in groups
representative of tribes, were presented IN
front Of the reviewing stand. When GER
onimo came up and was announced he
halted his horse directly in front OF the
Presidents seat, and facing the Presi-
dent removed his head dress and swinging
it out in salute looked with an express
sion between grimneSS and smile
up at him. The President took of his hat
with wave OF the hand. Geronimo re-
placed his feathers, and after another look
at the Great White Father turned and gal
loped away to the sham battle field.
At dinner, which was served in the large
hall on the grounds, the company's atten-
ton was arrested briefly when the electric
illumination began by shout Of acclama-
tion and a food OF light at the windows.
The people without were cheering pic

cent bulbs.

other distinguished callers. 1t was after
ten O'Clock when the Presidential party,
escorted by President Wattles and members
OF the entertainment committee, started
for the Exposition grounds.
The party proceeded directly to the
grand plaza on the blufr-tract OF the Expo
sition, where, in the music pavilion. the
formal exercises of the day took place.
Here the President delivered his address
before large audience. He said:
"Gentlemen of the Trans-Mississippi EH-
position and Fellow Citizens:
"It is with great pleasure that l meet
once more the people OF Omaha, whose
wealth of welcome is not altogether un-
familiar to me. and whose warm hearts
have before touched and moved me. For
this renewed manifestation OF your regard
and for the cordial reception OF to-day my
heart responds with profound gratitude
and deep appreciation which l cannot
conceal, and which the language OF COM
pliment is inadequate to convey.
''My greeting is not alone to your city
and the State of Nebraska, but to the people
OF all the States of the trans Mississippi
group participating here, and l cannot
withhold congratulations on the evidences
OF their prosperity furnished by this great
exposition.
zone of the great laws of life is progress,
and nowhere have the principles OF this
law been so strikingly illustrated as in the
United States. A century and decade OF
our national life have turned doubt into
conviction; changed experiment into de-
monstration; revolutionized old methods,
and won new triumphs which have chal-
lenged the attention Of the world. This IS
true not only Of the accumulation OF ma
terial wealth and advance in education,
science, invention and manufactures, but
above all in the opportunities to the peo-
pie for their own elevation, which nave
been secured by wise free government.
"It has been said by some one that the
normal condition OF nations is war. That
is not true OF the United States. We never
enter upon war until every effort for peace
without 1t has been exhausted. Ours has
never been military Government. Peace,
with whose blessings We have been so sim
gularly favored, is the national desire and
the goal of every American aspiration.
"On the 25th of April, for the first time
for more than q generation, the United
States sounded the call TO arms. The ban
ners of war were unfurled, the best and
bravest from every section responded; a
mighty army was enrolled; the North and
the South We'd with each other in patriotic
devotion; science was invoked to furnish
its most effective weapons; factories were
rushed to supply equipments; the youth
and the veteran joined in freely onerlng
their services to the country; volunteers
and regulars and all the people rallied to
the support Of the republic.

been from the standpoint of patriotism and

When the Ohio Legislature enacted
last spring that jury in a murder
case may accompany verdict OF muir
der in the first degree with recon-
mendation for mercy, which shall en-
title the accused to sentence of life
Imprisonment instead of death. it was
not supposed that it was virtually
abolishing capital punishment. The
change in the law was regarded as a
concession to the scruples of people
who sometimes get on iuries, and who
hesitate to convict on circumstantial
evidence when such conviction means
capital punishment. In operation,
however, the law is expected to abol-
ish hanging Id the State, except in the
rare cases when exceptional atrocity
in crime may awake the revengeful
spirit in the minds of the jurymen.
In the first murder case tried under
the new law the jury exercised their
veto power by a recommendation to
mercy, and the convict went to prison
for life, although it does not appear
In the newspaper reports of the trial
that there was the remotest doubt of
his guilt.

"But if this is true OF the beginning OF
the war, what shall we say OF it now, with
hostiiities suspended and peace near at
hand, as we fervently hope? Itwas match

pleteness and the quick succession with
which victory followed; victory attained
earlier than it was believed TO be possible:
victory so comprehensive in its sweep that
every thoughtful man feels the weight OF

the bravery Of the American Navy, and the
