needs is not religion of professions

asserted that they were not the
kinds which wrought much good in
the world.

Yesterday was a day of mourning
in Washington, as it doubtless wai
all over the United States, for it was
the first anniversary OF the death Of
President Mckinley. In all the
Roman Catholic churches prayer.
were offered for the repose Of the soul
of the late president, and in the
Protestant churches fitting memorial
services were held. There was, per-
haps, more genuine mourning in
Washington than in any place aside
from Canton, for here there are many
people who had come within the
scope of the kindly influence exer-
cised on all who came in contact with
him by the deceased president, and
many tears were shed as the various
clergymen referred to the bereaved
widow in her lonely home in Ohio.
The flags were at half mast, and
every opportunity, to show the re-
spect and affection in which Mr.. Me
Kinley was held by all, was inn
proved.
The memorial services for Presi-
dent Mckinley seemed to arouse in
creased anxiety for President Roose-
welt, whose fearlessness often occa-
sions no little worry to those to whom
his safety is confded. The Secret
Service men say they never knew a
man so difficult to shadow. Always
impulsive, he never cafes about hav-
ing them with him and is liable to
slip away every time they turn tn !
heads. In fact, at Oyster Bay, the
he would commission the man on
duty to go some part of his country
place, or even to the village of Oyster
Bay, and then take row boat and
accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt,
would disappear for hours. In this
connection, the president offers an
almost unanswerable argument. He
says that any one intent on taking
his life could easily conceal himself
on some road which the president
must take and then pick him off with
a rife. While this may be true,
such a course would not, in all likeli-
hood be taken by any of the numer-
GUS cranks who seek the president
and who are almost more dangerous,
in the opinion of the Secret Service
men, than genuine anarchists.

Secretary Wilson returned to
Washington Friday, and, when seen
by your correspondent assured him
that he had been so interested in the
fate Of the corn crop. ON his recent
western trip, that he haa no time to

did say, however, that he regarded

he added, "who could defeat General

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

Those politicians and editors who
have been banking on the presidents
political inexperience and predicting
that, sooner or later he would make
what they were pleased to term "A
"serious break" are likely to suffer
disappointment. In the opinion OF
republican leaders in Washington,
one Of the shrewdest moves in Mr..
R)osevelrs political career will con-
sist Of the conference which will take
place in Oyster Bay tomorrow when,
at the personal request Of the presi-
dent, the leaders of the party will
meet TO confer on the policy which
the former will advocate IN his
speeches during his western tour.
An examination Of the personnel Of
the conferees will reveal the fact that
the president has tax IN the men who
represent every shade of economic
opinion within his party. From the
center of tariff revision movement
comes Senator Allison of Iowa while
the extreme opposition is represented
by Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island.
From theconservative middle ground
comes Senator Hanna, who will add
the weight Of his political experience
and great sagacity to the politico-
economic conference. Senator Spoon
er of Wisconsin is presumably thor
oughg familiar with the sentiment
which prompted Representative Bah
cock to offer a tariff reduction bill in
the last session Of congress, and Sena-
tor Platt Of New York represents the
financial opinion Of the country.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts and
Platt Of Connecticut, will ably repre-
sent the New England interests while
the presidents great confidence in
the Judgment of the former will
help to facilitate the work Of the
council. 1t is reasonable to assume
that, after such conference, the
president will be in a position to
express the concrete views OF his
party as becomes a great party
leader, and his speeches throughout
the west will be listened to with
keenest attention as expressing all
that is best in the foremost rank of
repubican thought.
Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1902-09-19


Considerable relief is felt at Sena-
tor Platt's frank expression in regard
to his attitude toward the president
with reference to the proposed in
dorsement Of Mr.. Roosevelt for the
nomination of 1901. Senator Platt
says that he believes Mr.. Roosevelt
deserves the nomination and that
he thinks he will get it. On
the other hand, the senator doubts
the advisability of bringing the sub
ject up at the New York state con-
vention, for purely local reasons.
AS governor of New York, Mr..
Roosevelt made enemies who might
oppose the resolution indorsing him,
and, while they are not sufficiently
numerous to accomplish its defeat,
the senator believes it would be wiser
not to precipitate a show of hands at
this time. Apparently, he believes
that by the time Mr.. Roosevelt has
completed his present term he will
have won over at least the majority
OF his enemies and that at that time
a personal Endorsement would prove
unanimous and for that reason a
greater compliment. Those who are
familiar with the comprehensive
grasp which Senator Platt has, and
practically always has had, on New
York politics, will think twice before
they permit their enthusiasm for the
president to lead them to oppose the
senators's Judgment, but, whether
Mr.. Roosevelt is personally indorsed
by the New York state convention
Or not, the members of the party will
realize that he has won the cordial
approval of the large majority Of

SPECULATION WAS STACNANT.
Market, on Tuesday-Scme
of the Features.

New York, June At would be use
less to seek anything but negative
inference from the operations in yes

smallness Of the dealings and the Ian

OF as much as a point are rare, and
must be sought among the obscure
portions Of the list. An example OF
the character or The market is offered
by ST. Paul, usually an active leader
Of the market, but in which there
were only three transactions up to
2 O'Clock yesterday. 1t is necessary
to go back nearly two years to the
period preceding the last presidential
election to find any such showing of
stagnant speculative interest. The
undertone was rather firm, as the i'm
mediate news developments were IA
vorable 70 values. The buying was
entirely by small professional trad
ers and the market was SO narroE
that they were obliged to concede all
Of the advance in price caused by
their bidding in order to close out a
contract. The traders bought during
the first hour in the belief that the
success of the anthracite operators in
keeping their pumps s,oing, II spite
Of the strike, would .presage a rise in
the value Of anthracite stocks. I'M
portanee was also attributed to tie

ings Of corn were due 70 belief OF
planters that the coming crop would
be abundant. The higher rate for
money was probably the most fnfu.I
entail factor in depressing specula-
ticn.

we're no developments or incidents Of
special mentien in the anthracite coal
miners strike yesterday. The mine
workers tried hard to bring out addi.
tional engineers, firemen and pump.
ers and the companies were equally
earnest in their efforts to hold the en-
ployes that have remained loyal to
them. The union succeeded in get
ting out quite number of men, and
last night labor leaders asserted that
they were satisfied with the days
work. One or two collieries were
compelled to shut down their pumps
because of lack of men, but in all
other cases the operators were able
to fill the vacancies by drawing on
their reserve force of Office and other
employees, The mine owners claim
that thus far they have employed a
very few non-union men, and have
plenty Of workers to draw on.
The entire coal belt remains COM
paratively quiet, although disturb
ances of minor nature are becoming
more frequent. These affairs are in
the nature Of demonstrations ranging
in numbers from about a dozen per-
sons up to about 100.
At Miners Mills yesterday morning
and last evening men and women
gathered on the street corners and
hOoted the men that came from tho
mines to go to their homes. At
Plymouth also last evening there was
small demonstration against
those still working at the engines and
pumps IN the collieries there. Abont
100 men, women and children follow
ed the workers to their homes, calling
them "scabs" all along the way
Many Of the workers who go to their
homes are accompanied by coal and
iron policemen. The latter have been
cautioned not to notice the actions
Of the crowds unless they attempt to
do the men bodily harm. In nearly
every colliery temporary living quar-
ters have been provided for those EN-.
ployed who do not care to leave the
places. Colored cooks are being
brought into the region to provide
for these men.

formed church. 1t came from the
Rev. DR.. John S. Allen, who said in
his letter to the assembly: THE time
is opportune for the United Presby-
terrain church to make overtures in
respect to a union with our Reformed
church. No two denominations in
our land are more closely allied than
yours and ours. Other churches, and
notably the Southern Presbyterian,
have been soliciting the hand Of the
Reformed church, and while we have
not seen our way clear to wedding,
we have promised to be a sister to
several. 1t might be that the United
Presbyterian church. by pressing her
suit ardently, would be more sue
cessful."
