CHICAGO, Oct. S.-Before leaving this
city Governor Theodore Roosevelt sent the
following letter to William E. Walton. of
Baltimore. a member Of the Society Of
Friends. who recently wrote to the Gov
ernor with reference to the distorted end
perverted version OF the Governors allu-
sion to Quakers In his book. Mr.. Walton's
letter was written In go ID faith and Gov
error Roosevelt's reply Is In the same
spirit The letter, which is dated Chicago.
Oct. 6. follows:
"Mr. William E. Walton, No. z24 St Paul
street, Baltimore, Md.
MY Dear Mr.. Walton-I have received
your very kind and courteous letter Of
the I'd inst, and am genuinely. touched
by It. In your letter you speak Of the
lovers OF peace and arbitration, especially
IN your own church. saying: We are not
non-combatants, and when IL comes to
r}asn ntaining the honor and integrity Of the
Nation and commanding respect for our
loved flag, our people would largely. per-
haps as largely as most bodies or Christian
workers. respond TO their country's call,
and would combat as loyalty as you could
wish any attempt to insult the flag We all
so dearly love-
Surely, my dear sir, need hardly say
that alike In your love for peace and your
desire for arbitration, and also I'm what
you have said in the above questions,
nearuly agree A better statement OF the
proper duty OF our citizens could hardly
have been made; nor can I too heartily
express my respect for all (whether Friends
or OF other denominations) whose views
you thus put forth. The sentence of mine
which Is complained OF and which was
written fifteen years ago. was intended to
express my disagreement both with the
man who acts on inadequate provocation
and of the man who on adequate provoca-
ton fails to act. 1t would be untrue to
say that / have altered my convictions In
the matter, but were / now to rewrite the
sentence should certainly so phrase 1t
that Ii could not be construed as Offensive
to the Society of Friends, a body whose
social virtues and civic righteousness just
ly command universal respect.
With assurances OF my very high regard
and esteem. believe me-. most sincerely
you're, THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
''P. S.-You are at liberty to make this
public in any way you desire. I may send
copy OF II 10 other inquirers."

TROOPS DEFEATED BY TRIADs.


LONDON. Oct s.-"Five thousand
Triads,' says a dispatch to the Daily
Telegraph from Canton. dated Oct Z, "have
defeated the imperial troops and occupied
several places between Mrs bay and Deep
bay. They are now moving southwark.
The viceroy to-day dispatched Admiral Ho
and General Tong to oppose them"
LONDON, Oct. 9-The Shanghai corre-
spondent of the Times, wiring Oct z, says:
ut Is reported that French troops hold
Lu-Ko-Chiao, on the Lu-Han Railway.
The Russians and Germans hold the Pei
Tang forts and have also taken Tong Shan
and the Kai-Ping mines. thus monopolizing
the coal supply in north China.
1T was expected that Count Won WAL
dersee would maintain even balance
between the powers, whereas the actual
result of the operations places all the stra-
tegic positions In the hands of other ma
tions. A strong feeling prevails that the
situation Is daily becoming more gloomy"

CAMDEN. n. j.. Oct. S.-Senator Will
liam p. Frye, of Maine. addressed a Repub-
lican mass meeting here tonight presided
over by Senator Sewell, OF New Jersey.
He began his speech by referring to the
country's natural resources and the policy
of the Republican party in fostering them.
He said that in the discussion of honest
money, imperialism and miltarism, the
protective tariff, which is the bulwark of
American prosperity. Should not be for
gotten. 'In 1892" he said. ''Mr. Cleveland
was elected and the Democratic party was
In full control. Before that party had
done anything a fearful panic was pre-
cipitated by the distress felt by the bus-
ness interests of the country and five hun
dred banks failed and every industry in the
country felt the shock. In 1885, he con-
tinued ''William Mckinley was elected.
He is as good President in his time as
was Washington in his or Lincoln was in
his. Prosperity came back to stay unless
the American people should elect Bryan.
There is no Democratic party to-day. 1t
is now known as Organism, and down our
way the Democrats always put on their
posters. Bryan meeting Seldom do you
see the word Democrat. Organism has
swallowed the Democratic party.
Bryan says we are in danger of militar-
ism. Well, we have one soldier to every
one thousand citizens. Bryan thinks the
thousand is in danger. There are two
dangers ahead of US One is the election of
Bryan and the greatest danger of this Is
that no one thinks there is any danger
of his being elected. believe Bryan is
honest. He is the more dangerous for
being so. He has a solid South back Of
him and stands on platform that reaches
out a bribe to every bad man in the coun-
try. Don't underestimate his strength. He
is strong with certain classes of people.
1.-THE other great danger for us is over
production. We are in danger of an unsold
surplus. We must have market and in
looking for one we enter upon a great COM
mercial war. Germany is our great COM
petitor. Her workmen receive low wages
We do not intend to resort to this. The
Republican party has decided upon another
plan. We have taken the Hawaiian is
lands, one of the Samoan group and the
Philippines What does this mean? Not
merely more territory but stepping stones
for the great commerce OF the Orient with
SCI. 600 900 consumers. We do not want any
of China. We have what is better. We
have the Philippine islands as a gateway
TO that empire. / Go not speak for Mr.
Mckinley, but l would always hold those
islands. In holding this doctrine 1 am in
good company. 1 am in company of Demo-
Gratis who would not give the country

At Litchfield the largest audience assem-
bled there since the Mckinley Bryan cam
paign OF four years ago greeted Colonel
Roosevelt He betrayed no token Of weari-
ness. notwithstanding he had made
speeches at many towns in the State en-
route. the most notable Of which was at
Springfield. There the Governor refrained
from discussing finance, trusts and such
topics, devoting himself exclusively to the
life achievements OF Abraham Lincoln, of
whom he said: He sacrificed himself in
death that his people should know not only
liberty, but the union that symbollzed or
der as well. Fundamentally every great
question that arises can be solved by fol-
lowing his advance. Lincoln came to prom
inence by his great debate with Douglas,

Billingsgate was achieved. Besides the OBJ
scenity there were questions as TO various
canards and campaign lies and arguments
with which the pages of the American
have teemed in editorial and cartoon since
the Governors nomination to the vice
presidency.
He was told In blasphemous and filthy
terms that a man who would shoot de-
fenseless Spaniard in the back, ought TO be
lynched He was asked how he enjoyed
torturing to death Mrs. Place, whom. IL
will be remembered. the Governor refused
TO pardon after she had been sentenced TO
be electrocuted for the murder OF her step
daughter. Governor Roosevelt paid no at
tention TO any OF the insults after his first
shock of surprise, and returned TO the
hotel In anything but a pleasant frame OF
mind.
In speaking with friends of the matter
afterward, he said that the time and place
of the assault were such that he felt much
worse over the matter than he had felt
about the bodily attack made upon him by
the Occur d'Alene Anarchists at Victor,
Col He said he could easily believe that
would lead a crowd Of its younger employees
to follow him through the streets when
he was on the way to a political meeting,
as he was Saturday night, and gave vent
to their inspired love for disorder by shout
ing and hooting. But he had never dreamed
that, in the license that the forces of dis
order were learning from editorials like
those in the American, they would go so
far as to defile the portals of the house
of God with their uncleanness and spite.
1t was understood that the Governor felt
with particular keenness the nature Of the
insults and the attack because it was only
by a chance that some of the members OF
his family had not come on from New
York to join him in Chicago, and If any Of
them had come they would certainly have
been with him at the church. The incident
thoroughly spoiled all the good effects Of
the Governors day Of rest.
The affair was the subject OF disgusted
and angry comment at the Auditorium
headquarters for the rest of the day. 1t
was the opinion Of most Of those who spoke
of the matter that there was something
more than a mere inspiration OF editorials
working in the brains of the young men
and boys who thus insulted Governor
Roosevelt. r. c. Kerens was responsible

1ected to undue influence alleged to have
