PHILL1PsBURG, KANSAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER H. 1902
IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
Tenth Annual Meeting at Colorado Springs
Under AuspiciOus Circumstance
President WaIsh's Address.

Colorado Springs, Col, Oct. THE
tenth National Irrigation congress
opened at two yesterday afternoon,
under circumstances especially
suspicious. Great significance is lent
to what will be done through the
fact that the irrigation movement
has been taken out of the sphere
of merely d propaganda and given
national Importance through the .ac-
ton of the last congress in passing
a bill authorizing the proceeds from
the sale of state lands to be used
for irrigation purposes in the sew
eral states. President Thomas F.
Walsh, of the congress, arrived in
the city yesterday and found every
thing in readiness for the three days
convention. Delegates poured in by
every train and the Indications early
in the morning were that this years
congress would be the most largely
attended ever held. President Roose-
Welt sent message of congratulation
and cordial sympathy to be read be-
fore the convention. President
Walsh's address before the congress
was repeatedly cheered.
Referring to the Importance to the
country as a whole of national ir-
hgation, Mr.. Walsh said: ct is not,
however, to broad movements of pop
nlatioh that I especially desire to di-
rect yoTir attention in the brief time
at my disposal. 1t is not the dream
of empire that may come to a great
nation with the conquest of territory
wherein 100000 will sometimes
dwell, which appeals to my magma
ton. But it is the dream of home
and independence which will come
to many struggling family with the
announcement that one more fair
valley Of arid America has been
thrown open to settlement at the
actual cost of reclamation. What
does it mean to the nation to have
millions of people gradually pass
from the servitude of the town to
the sovereignty of the country? 1t
means, my friends, the enlistment
Of a new army for the defense of
the republic in every hour of need.
Give a man a home upon the soil
and you have made him the patriot
who will defend your institutions at
the ballot box and on the battle
field"

"A. III
speech being delivered by Secretary
Hay. For the rest the old soldiers
busted themselves largely in renew
ing the acquaintance of 40 years ago
and in manifesting their apprecia-
ton of the welcome extended to
them by the capital city. Of this
welcome they found generous evil
dence on every hand. The events Of
the day outside the dedica ton cerc-
monies at Camp Roosevelt included
4 fine regatta on the Potomac, an
attractive automobile parade, an in
teresting procession by the Red Men
of this city and neighboring cities
and campfires in the evening. The

proved Order of Red Men was spec
tacular. They marched down Penn
sylvania avenue from the capitol to
the white house, about $50 strong
The organizations participating were
the nine tribes of the order in Wash
ington. Their ranks were augment
ed by the addition of a number of
visitors from neighboring states.
There were several floats upon which
braves disported themselves for the
amusement of the multitude. The
members were in full uniform.
The Kansas delegation, which Is
quartered at an uptown hotel, is at
tracing a great deal of attention
The members came prepared not
only to participate in the festivities
of the encampment. but to furnish
the people with an object lesson of
what they can do in the line of agri
culture. They brought with them a
large exhibit of pumpkins of enor-
nous size, apples, potatoes, corn and
wheat. The sidewalk surrounding
the hotel has been completely taken
up with the display, while suspended
from ropes fastened to tree boxes
are punches of ears of corn. The
sunfiower also is much in evidence
At night the veterans and thei1
friends were entertained by an ex-
hibition Of fireworks on the Wash
ington monument grounds. The prin-
cipal scene represented was the res
cue of the diplomatic legations at
Pelzin, in which 400 persons were
engaged.

NEGROES SEE ROOSEVELT.
They Were Assured That the President
Does Not Favor OstracIsm or
the Black Man

Washington, Oct. s.-Bishop Alexan-
der Walters, of New Jersey; Bishop
G.. w. Clinton, of North Carolina and
Rev. L. L. Carruthers, of New York,
representing the executive committee
of the Afro-American council, called
upon President Roosevelt Tuesday
to ascertain his attitude toward the
movement among certain republicans
of the south to exclude the negroes
from participation in the councils of
the party. They were especially solic-
itous of ascertaining whether the
president endorsed the action of the
republicans in North Carolina and
Alabama with this end in view. After
the interview the colored men ex-
pressed themselves as highly graft
fed with what the president had said
to them. They announced that the
president had stated TO them that
his actions in all matters affecting
the race was his answer as to his
attitude toward the colored men;
that in appointments the character,
intelligence and the esteem in which
the applicant was held in the com
munity in which he lived would be
the first considerations and that no
man would be excluded or appointed
because of his color. That he heart
lily disapproved of the efforts of cen
tain republicans in the south to ex-
clude the negroes from participate
in politics was known.

WILL APPEAL TO MITCHELL.
President Roosevelt Anxious That the
Miners Return to Work Pending In
VestigatIon by Congress-

Washington, Oct. ga final eff
fort, with hope of success, is to be
made to end the coal strike 1t has
been discussed by the president and
some of his advisers and while the
idea is still in an uncompleted state
and the final result still uncertain,
yet it offers a method which now
seems to be the only solution of the
problem. The suggestion is made
that President Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers may be able to have
the men now on strike return to
work in order to avert the impend-
ing disaster which fuel famine will
cause and that at an early date as
possible there shall be complete

ture, and by the state legislature of

WHAT BRYAN SUGGESTS.
The President Should BE Urged to Call an
Extra Session of Congress and
Pass Five Measures.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. Tn state
ment made yesterday evening w. j.
Bryan says President Roosevelt
should be commended for his efforts
to settle the miners strike. He sug-
gests, however, that since the oper-
ators decline to arbitrate the presi-
dents hands are tied and urges him
to call an extra session of congress.
Five measures, Mr.. Bryan says,
should be recommended for passage.
Summarized, these are, in Mr.. Bryan's
language: ga law establishing a na-
tional board of arbitration, consist
ing of three to five members, to con-
slider and report on all controversies
between corporations engaged in in
terstate commerce and their
employees; law abolishing govern
ment by Injunction; law that will
discriminate between the natural
made man created by the Almighty
and the corporation giant created by
legislation; law taking the tariff
off coal; law which will prevent
railroads engaged in interstate com
merce from operating coal mines, ex-
cept for the purpose of supplying
fuel for their own engines"

SNYDER CONVICTED.
The Jury Found the Central Traction Bill
Promoter Guilty OF Br,bery-MOtion
for New Trial.

ST. Louis, Oct. 6.-Robert M. Sny-
der, the Central Traction bill promo
ter, was convicted of bribery and SEN
fenced to five years in the peniten-
tiary. The jury was out for one min
ute less than an hour Saturday night.
The man who all week had sat behind
his attorneys and watched the prog
ress of his trial for an offense which
was not denied, but which his counsel
sought to set aside on the question
of residence, thereby invoking the
shield of the statute of imitatio
heard the verdict without a sign of
emotion. Immediately upon the rem
dering of the verdict the attorneys
for the defense filed a motion for
new trial and Mr.. Snyder was released
on a $25, 700 bond.

MOVED THEM DOWN.
Capt. Pershing's Column Killed
100 Moros in Mindanao.
Forty Forts In the Vicinity of Macuf wers
Observation-Disclosures Oncers Believs
Moral Eject of Victory WIN
Be Permanent.


Manila, Oct. Capt. John j. Perish
ing's column has completely routed
the Macui Moros, in the island of
Mindanao, killing or wounding 100 of
them and destroying 40 forts. Two
Americans were wounded.
+. On Tuesday the Moros retired to
their largest and strongest fort on
the Lake store, and Wednesday Capt
Pershing attacked them with artil-
lery, bombarding the enemy for three
hours. AT noon Lieut.. Loring, lead
ing a squad CT men, attempted to set
fire to the fort. He crept under the
walls and started blaze, but the
Moros discovered him and forced the
Americans to retreat. During the
afternoon the sultan of Cabugalan
led sortie at the head of band of
fanatics armed with Krises. They
crePt through the grass and sprang
up and attacked the Americans. The
sultan was wounded six times and
boloed all American before he died.
His followers were killed. In the
darkness Wednesday sight Caps.
Pershing took his batteries within
100 yards of the fort, closed in his
infantry lines and resumed the at.
tack. The Moros broke through
twice and attempted to escape by the
beach but were discovered and many
of them were killed. The Moros aban-
doned the fort early on Thursday,
after Is hours bombardment, and
Thursday Capt. Pershing destroyed
the rest of the forts and returned to
Camp Wears. 1t is believed the moral
effect of the death of the Moros will
be great. Gen. Davis has ordered that
hostilities be stayed in order to per-
NIT the sultan of Bascaloo and other
hostile sultans to make peace.
The sultans of Maeui were conf
dent of their ability to defeat the
Americans and vowed before the fight
to enter slavery voluntarily if they
themselves were defeated. Gen.
Davis has sent Gen. Sumner, in COM
mand of the American forces in Min
danao, a congratulatory cablegram
on the success of Capt. Pershing and
the small American losses.

TURNS TO MITCHELL.
President Asks Head of Miners
Union to End Strike.
Promises to Appoint a Commission to In
vestigate Conditions In Anthracite Re-
gIOn-President Mitchell Quoted
as Being Against 1t.

Washington, Oct. S.-President
Roosevelt has requested Mr.. Mitch
ell, president of the Mine Workers
union, to use his influence to induce
the men to go to work with the
promise of the appointment of a
commission TO investigate their
grievances and further promise that
the president will urge upon congress
legislation in accordance with rec
ommendation of that committee. No
reply has yet been received from Mr..
Mitchell. The president sent Carroll
ID. Wright, commissioner of labor, to
Philadelphia to meet Mr.. Mitchell and
Mr.. Wright has reported that after
the proposition had been submitted
Mr.. Mitchell said that he wanted to
take it under consideration. The
miners unions are voting upon the
question of whether they shall con-
tinue the strike, but this is upon the
proposition of the coal operators and
not upon the suggestion of the presi-
dent to Mr.. Mitchell. 1t is expected
that the miners will take up the sug-
gestion of the president and decide
on it after it has been presented to
them by Mr.. Mitchell.
Mitchell Quoted as Unfavorable.
Buffalo, Oct. SIT is learned from
n reliable source that the PROPOSE
ton made by President Roosevelt
was discussed at the afternoon ses-
sion of coal conference and that

favorable attitude toward it.
Miners More Firm Than Ever.
Willlesbarra, Pa, Oct. THE news

remains absolutely unchanged. There
is some coal being shipped but the
quantity is very small compared with
the normal production.
In accordance with the address is
sued by President Mitchell calling
upon all local unions to meet and
take vote on the question of re-
manning on strike, the mine work
ers of the Prospect, Oakdale. and
Midvale collieries of the Lehigh Coal
