It has been prophesied that in course Of
time America viii evolve the finest dram
arsts thai the world has ever seen. There
are several reasons for this prediction, and
very good ones they are. The first is that
we have an immense wealth Of dramatic
material. We have within our borders and
in our history more picturesque elements Of
the drama than any other nation ever had.
We have all the Indian wars Of the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries. and all
the colonial life Of the South. Of New
England. of New York, and of Pennsylva-
MIA. to draw upon for historical dramas.
Upon the stage Of such plays might appear
nor only the figures of these various civili-
cations. but the pIumed Indian, the Jesuit
missionary. the coureur-des- -bois, and the
West Indian pirate who infested the waters
OF the Louisiana bayous. We have the
scenes Of the Civil War and OF the Spanish
American War. which. despite the pletho-
IA Of war plays, have moi as yet been ade-
quately treated In modern life we have
The conflict between capital and labor, the
heterogeneous population OF our great
cities. the making Of great fortunes with
pbencmenaI swiftness, the developing Of
new towns. the life Of the inventor the
socialist. the politician. the Dhilanthropist
the adveuturer All this material has
scarcely been touched. or touched only in
more or less crude and imperfect fashion.
Where there is a harvest the reapers al
ways come in due time. The abundance
Of material is one reason why we shall, in

mother reason why the drama. during
the next century, should flourish in this
country. is that we have an immense thea

TRADE WITH CHINA.
The Question Discussed by the In

ternationnI Commercial Congress.
PHILADELPHIA Oct 1S-The atten-
tion Of the delegates to the International
Commercial Congress today was directed to
trade with China The former Secretary
of the Interior, Cornelius NJ. Bliss, pre-
sided and among those who spoke were
Gen. J. w. Laurie, delegate of the London
Board of Trade, and John NJ Barrett. a
former Minister of the United States 10
Siam. Several New York merchants who
are interested in business in China ad-
dressed the meeting WI Ting-faug, Min
lister of China to the United States, also
was one OF the speakers. He sat on the
platform near the chairman.
Mr.. Bliss, in opening the morning ses-
sion, SAID that Americans were net enter
ing upon a new and untred field in pro-
posing business relations with China aud
the Indies. He added. No such wOrd as
imperialisr exists in the American yOclbH-
larry. 1 prefer TO believe that il is the
cld-time providence CT the God whom the
fathers believed, that has not only per-
mitted. but commanded this nation to de-
liver the people Of the Philippines f, ON the
oppression and tyranny Of the centuries and
to give them, as will be done in due
time the blessings CT peace, civilization,
and good government"
At the afternoon session the Hon John
Barrett spoke on The Possibilities Of
Trade in the Far East" He said Jhat a
residence CT five years in the Orient ard
a constant study CT its possibilities. for
commerce had convinced him that the
trade of the world was only in its infancy;
that the buying and selling capacity of
the Asiatics is only limited by the Op-
pOrtunities given TO get his product to
the place where he could dispose Of it and
secure other goods in return. The ten
dency was. he said, TO combine into
spheres Of influence and that the situa-
tion was such that it would soon need
the action Of Congress to protect Ameri-
can interests.
In his speech the Chinese Minister made
special and pointed reference to the acts
which exclude his cOuBtrymen from the
United States and its possessions. He re-
ferred to the growing commercial import
ance of China the industry OF it's people,
their friendiiness for this country, and
said that under favorable conditions the
trade between the two countries was sure
to increase If net retarded by unwIse
methods He then spoke Of the exclusion
of the Chinese and said:
1T is not for me TO say what policy
should be adopted by the American Gov
ernment for the Philippine Islands. but
apart from other considerations and look
ing solely 10 the interests of the aTchi-
peIago, it would seem to be a suicidal
policy from a statesman's point Of view.
TO prohibit the entrance OF Chinese labor

The Mormon Merace.

The anti-Mormon agitation in the United
States is not alone for the unseating Of the
polygamlst Congressman, Roberts. 1t con-
templates a national protest and fight
against the insidiously growing political
power Of the Mormon hierarchy. not only
in Utah. where Of course it is dominant un-
der present conditions, but in other States
and communities. One Of the strongest op-
pouents Of this dangerous theoeratical in
fuence is no less a person than Eugene
Young. a grandson OF the late Mormon
president, reveIator, priest, and prophet,
Brigham Young. In a speech in New York
the other evening this citizen offered the
most powerful reasons why immediate steps
should be taken to stem the movement Of
the Saints. who are as rapidly as surely
gaining a predominating influence over
large continental area.
The public is aware that the Mormon
Church already holds the balance Of power
in local politics in the Territory of Ari-
zona. Its inroads in other directions are
not so generally advertised. Mr. Young
states that the Mormons in Idaho have
been for some time able to return eleven
members TO the State Legislature, and
through them 10 control two Senatorial
elections. He adds: 1T will not be many
years before the Mormon priesthood viii
have potent voice in the politics of Wy
oming Colorado, Nevada. Oregon, and
Montana"
The pretended abandonment Of polysamy
by the Mormons is now known to be sham.
It is practiced with scarcely any conceal
ment in Utah. and if the Church dared, it
would be legaIized in that State. Nothing

An Exciting Episode Mt the Anti
ImnerinIistic Conference


CHICAGO, Oct 1S.-An unknown wo-
man created scene at today's session Of
the ant-imperialistfc conference at Central
Music Hall. The incident occurred at the
close Of an address by the Rev. Herbert
ID. BigeIow, of Cincinnati While the au-
dience was applauding she stepped into the
aisle
Take down that flag she cried. roint-
ing 70 a large American flag which hung
from the organ balcony over the stage
Il say take down that flag, Don't let the
American flag be desecrated any longer "
Taking another step forward, she cons
tinued, holding her right hand up as she
advanced I'm the daughter of a soldier,
the sister of another, and the wife of an
other"
She shouted loud enough to be heard
above the Kisses. To sit here and hear
that flag DETAINED is more than I can stand.
Oh, it is shameful. shameful" She then
stepped to the aisle and left the hall, re-
fusing to give her name.
The flag referred to had been unfurled
ever the head of Dr. Bigelow when he be-
gan his address, which bristied with words
of denunciation OF the President and his
policy in the Philippines. A set of reso-
lutions was adopted with but a single dis
senting voice. The resolutions condemned
the policy of the national Administration
in the Philippines, depIored the sacrifice
of soldiers and sailors in an unjust war,
denounced the slaughter of Filipinos as
needless horror. opposed the extension of
American sovereignty by Spanish methods.
1t concluded:
I'VE demand the immediate cessation of
war against liberty, begun by Spain and
continued by us. We urge that Congress
be promptly convened to announce to the
Filipinos our purpose to concede to them
the independence for which they have so
long fought, and which of right is theirs. "
Speeches on these lines were made by
Congressman Lentz of Ohio, Jenkin Lloyd
Jones of Chicago, Herbert Myrick of New
York, and Prof. Storey of the Chicago
University
The event of the day was the Grafton of
w. Bourke Cochran at Central Music Hall
tonight Never did Mr. Cochran use his
Cratorical powers with more effect. All
his arts of suggestion and sophistry were
called into play and he kept his audience
in a perfect turmoil Of demonstrative
cheering. He refrained from the violent
language that had previously characterized
the conference and made a bid for the
American love of fair play by pretending
to concede many points that the more
radical anti-expansiOnists deny with so
much yehemence.

company is still behind its orders TO
the extent of 16S machines sixty-eight or -

put is at the rate of about sixty five ma
chimes a month. This indicates that it
will be at least six months before the COM

Four dividends of . per cent have been
declared during the year, and so far as
can be predicted by the present business
outlook, that rate of dividends Will be
kept up during the ensuing year.
