SENATOR CARTER
 IS OPTIMISTIC Philippine War Will Be Ended
 by January 1. MUST HOLD TO THE ISLANDS The Man From Montana Says the Ques- tion Must be Viewed in a Gold
 Flooded Manner Firm
 Grasp Necessary
MUST HOLD TO THE ISLANDS

Washington. September 4.-Senator Car ter, of Montana, in an interview with a Post reporte' today, said that in his opin- ion the war in the Philippines would be ended by January l. Then, he said, would come the question of the future disposi- ton of the islands. The republican party, he believed, would settle this question by insisting that the retention of the Philip pines is a matter of business profit.
 "This," added the senator, lis practi- cal age. We are going to deal with this question on the basis of dollars and cents Neither religion nor sentiment will have much influence in determining the verdict. The great question will be, Will it pay? If we can show the country it will, as I think we can, the American flag will never eomedown from the Philippines"
 "What sort of government should be de- vised?"
 Three suggestions would undoubtedly be made The first will be to abandon the islands entirely to the natives. I don't believe this will meet the approval of the American people. The second will be to seize the islands in firm grasp, assuring the people that we ne0u to give llSlH q DSllSl SONOi hiliche than they could enjoy under any other flag or could create for themselves, but that we are the masters and propose to remain so.
 'sThe third proposition will be to throw a loose string around the people, holding their seaports and custom houses with our navy, but allowing them absolute free dom In their internal affairs. This free dom, in my judgment, would soon become anarchy, and we would have to rule any way, SO should say that the second prop csition is the one that ought to oe adopted. The frmer We are in our administration, the more respect will those people have for uS."

JONES SPEAKS TO
 LABOR MEETING ToIedo'S Famous Chief Executive Talks of Brotherhood. IS NO NEED FOR STRIFE There is Land, Property and Air Suffi- cient for All-The Speaker Re-

IS NO NEED FOR STRIFE

Columbus, O., September 4.-Mayor Sam uel Jones, of Toledo was the chief speaker at the labor day meeting here today. His address was devoted largely to an express sion of organized brotherhood.
 'While labor organizations fraternal so- cieties. lodges and churches are busy striving to right the wrongs, striving to get legislation to protect the people from the evils that I am pointing out, striving to teach the gospel of love, the political parties based upon the wicked theory of competition, based upon the idea that men are enemies and not lovers, have been keeping alive the fires of hatred that are continuously producing the evils from which we would flee Every device known to his satanic majesty has been resorted to by these agencies to pervert the public mind.
 Loyalty to party has been the first requisition to good citizenship and so ab- ject has been the slavery in which the people have been held that they have for generations responded to the party with out asking questions about the principle involved There is no need for strife for there is enough for all there is land enough for all; property enough for all, as there is air enough for all We have only to inaugurate reasonable system of government that will set aside the sceptre of poverty and provide assurances that every one willing to contribute his or her service shall not want in this country of ours and this brutal warfare of competi- tion will cease"

Another Reply Today


 Cape Town, September 1.-The news re- ceived from Pretoria today begins to show the situation in a clearer light. It appears that the Transvaal reply which was hand- ed in on Saturday to the British diplomatic agent at Pretoria. MT. Conyningham Green was only to MT. Chamberlain's pro- posal respecting a conference at Cape Town, and that another reply will be de- 1ivered tomorrow to MT. Chamberlains or- iginal proposal of a joint inquiry into the franchise bill.
 This method of splitting the negotiations by the Transvaal is unfavorably comment ed upon here.
 The Cape Argus officially denies that the government of the South African republic. has agreed to a conference at Capt Town.
 The Cape Argus also declares that the explanation offered by the Transvaal state attorney MT. Shuts, of the arrest is un- satisfactory and that the mystery is one that calls for immediate elucidation

ORGANIZED LABOR
 HAS A BIG DAY Thousands of Men Enjoy Their Annual
 National Holiday. THE PLAN IN NEW YORK Money Was Used in Aiding the Uaem-

THE PLAN IN NEW YORK
MUCH ENTHUSIASM EVERYWHERE
Occasion Celebrated in Alabama--Fine Weather Favored Participants in Most of the Cities in the
 United States

New York, September 4.-Labor Day was favored with bright sun and brisk breeze, and thousands took advantage of the fine weather to enjoy a days outing. Business was practically suspended In ad- diton to the exchange banks, all the large department stores were closed. Flags were flying from all public buildings, and in some instances there was lavish display of bunting.
 Although there was no united parade of labor organizations, there were lesser pa rades all over the city. The Central Feder- ated Union concluded to omit the usual pa rade, because so many workmen, including the taflors and those in the building trades, are not now employed.
 It costs from 5000 to $4,000 to hold pa- rade, and this sum, it was thought, could be better used in helping out the unem- ployed and those on strikes. In the place of d parade the combined unions held a picnic at Sulzer's Westchester park, where there were contests for prizes, followed by speech making.
 Hundreds of workingmen and others be- longing to single tax and labor organiza- tions in this city and vicinity gathered to- day at Henry Georges grave in Greenwood cemetery. The party Was dccompdnleu by nearly all the members of the George fam fly.
 Among the organizations represented were the Manhattan Single Tax club, the Brotherhood of Progress, Painters Prog ress Club of Harlem, Brass Workers As sociation, Bluestone Cutters and Flaggers Assembly and local assemblies belonging to five district assemblies of the Knights of Labor. Memorial exercises followed, after which the workingmen's Henry George me- morial committee placed handsome floral design of the Order of the Knights of La bor or the grave. On the floral emblem were written in flowers the four last words in Henry Georges book, Progress and Poverty"-''They call and call"

 General Roget also appeared to begin to feel at last the cruel strokes the etat major had been receiving of late. He showed naught of his cruel, braZen front today. On the contrary, his face was quite livid when he left the stage after a Very poor display, and he quilted the court room as the proceedings were over. excusing himself to his brother gen. erals, Mercier and others, of higher grade, on the ground of feeling unwell.
 The session ended with an exposure of M. Hennion, chief of the Paris detectives, of the disgraceful tactics of the etat major in suppressing his report in favor of Cap- tain Dreyfus and inserting a document more or less unfavorable to him.
