General Harrison Criticises the Ad
miniStration Policy.

New York, Oct. 1O.-General Har-
rison gave an interview and state
ment tonight. He was asked:
rs it true, General, that YOU have
consented to make some speeches in
the campaign
NO; that statement has not been
authorized by me, was the answer.
Il have said to every one who has
spoken or written to me on the sinh
Ject that | could not do any moro
campaign work. Since | left Wash

tlclpation in party management has
been complete. All that | have left

very generally and kindly accepted
my sense OF the proprieties OF the
case-at least between campaigns.
In a word. | have vacated the choir
loft and taken a seat in the pews-
with deep sense OF gratitude TO nv
forbearlng fellow countrymen.
But, General, it is said that Won
are not altogether in accord with
your party?"
Well. have heard that my silence
was imputed by some To that causa
Now, the only public utterance l have
made IN criticism of the policies OF
the party was contained in the inter

MORE THAN FRIENDS
WITH THIS COUNTRY.
Chamberlain Admits understanding
Exists Between England and the
United States.

Washington. oct. 1O.-"Grea
Britain's foreign policy, as / sum i
mp. is to remain on friendly terms
| with every great country in Europe
and on something more than friendly
terms with the United States
This bold statement of the British
Secretary of foreign affairs, when il
reached here to-day caused a panic
at the White House and State De
APARTMENT. The indiscreetness Of il
was patent, and called for an early
visit of Secretary Hay to the White
House
Secretary Hay and the President
had a long, gloomy talk over the re.
marks of Mr. Chamberlain. which
We're inopportune, because they were
! true.
The state department was asked
Tor some explanation OF the termer-
ity Of Mr.. Chamberlain for admit
ting what has been strenuously denied
by the state Observation-Disclosures
the more than friendly feeling or al
lance between the United States and
Great Britain. Secretary Hay said ::
Il have no explanation to offer of
the remarks you have read as pur-
porting to come from Mr.. Chamber
lain | will not discuss them in anv
manner
Usually the state department de-
clares that these remarks are prOba-
bly, incorrectly reported by cable,
and the officials desire to wait for veri-
tication. To-day the administration
seemed TO be simply ratified by the
speech OF Mr. Cham berlain, and had,
or could have, nothing to say. The
publication of the speech was con
sldered extremely inopportuHe, and
there was not the slightest excuse to
be offered for Mr. Chamberlain put
ting the administration in a hole.
Mr.. Chamberlain is, however, ONLY
demanding the assistance of the |
| nited States for Great Britain in |
the present situation in China. and !
as given the world notice that Great |
Britain is counting on the execution
Ut long sincemade contract. 1t
means that Mr. Chamberlain is now
awaiting what the United States will
nave to say to this pOint-blank
that there is something
more friendly terms between thel
/ nlted States and Great Britain.
In other words, Great Britain now
las the United States in such posi-
ION that she can through her most
and popular minister say
o the world that the Powers in
'hina must reckon with the United
states and England. The only an
wer OF the United States must be a ,
epudiatlOn of the alliance or q con- 7
OF the subservience of the ,
nlted States to Great Britain's 7
cheme, There will be no back ,

The unfortunate plight in which
he United States finds itself TODAY
18th reference to China is the logical
nd inevitable consequence of the in
uence which Lord Pauncefote had
nd has over John Hay, the Ameri- l

men feel that the limit has been reached
In this form Of crime. and assuredly some
measures ought to be at once taken to
reduce the number of such outrages. 1t
ought to be reasonably safe In Seattle for
a man to walk on the streets. especially
in the central portion Of the city, without
constant danger of being stopped at the
point Of a gun and made to deliver. or
suffer q murderous assault by an armed
highwayman.
Speaking individually. and not for the
committee, should say that after the
hold-up question, next in Importance are
the sure-thing contrivances In the gam
bling houses of the city. This is a mat
ter with which Mayor Humes and the po-
lice can deal instantly. They are not toll
Grated in cities even where gambling Is
countenanced. They should be immedi-
ately suppressed.
Il realize that Of the evils of which the
people complain the side entrance and
boxes In saloons constitute a most griev-
Gus one. This also IT appears to me. is
matter lying entirely in the hands of the
mayor and the police II Is plain that the
knife should be applied somewhere. and

have a beneficial effect ia reducing every

Jehh StHFdiu believes thai energetic
measures should AT once be applied by the
mayor and the police IN an effort to rid
the community Of highwaymon.
ITO the business man the danger Of be-
ing held up after dark on the business
streets or within a short distance from
his own home Is the most unwelcome
feature OF the present reign of lawIess-
