TOUR OF NEW ENGLAND.
1t Is Begun by President ROoseveIt-
Makes Significant Address
ut Hartford

Hartford, Conn. Aug. 23.-The
statement that the United States is
in duty bound to establish reciprocal
trade relations with Cuba and the
prediction that this obligation will
be met within "a very short time''
were made Friday night by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in an address to 5000
persons at the Coliseum. His refer
ence to the time in which the reel
procity policy is likely to be car
ried out is regarded as significant in
view of the suggestion recently
made, that the president is giving
thought to the matter of calling an
extra session of the senate to deal
with the Cuban problem.
The speech of the president was
the first on his New England trip
which was begun Friday 1t was
heard and enthusiastically cheered
by gathering two-thirds of which
were workingmen. 1t set forth in
detail the insular policy of the adj
ministration, called attention to the
great work accomplished since the
Spanish war, and pointed the way
as the president sees it, to progress
for our new possessions and honor
to America.
