THE NATION STILL SAFE
HIaoINsoN SUCCEEDS IN STAND
ING OFF PILLSBURY.
Although Favored by Weather the
White Squadron Has Not Sue

Coast Of New England.

Rockport. Mass, Aug. 22.-Commander
Pillsbury and his fleet of three auxiliary
cruisers are still at sea. Unless the COM
mander of the white squadron makes an
attempt to reach a harbor within the
next sixty hours from midnight, his ef-
forts to win a victory in the game Of
mimic war will fail for theoretically it
will be considered that his ships have
sunk or he has founud that the blockade
esta blished by Admiral Higginson from
Portland to Cape Cod cannot be broken.
1t is only fair to say that naval experts
believe that Admiral Higginsons defense
is good Everything today certainly ia
vored an attack by the enemy, but no
scout of the blue squadron reported signs
of Commander Ptllsbury's fleet. Fog and
storms swept the coast during the after
noon and while tonight the sky was clear,
the haze on the water continued.
Tonight Admiral Higginsons three bat
tleships were still at anchor off Thatch-
er's Island and beside them were two
torpedo boats. but a nasty sea was run
ming and the lightning occasionally light
ed up the bay. At midnight the fiagships

later action of the Resolutions Commit

garded as the end of the consideration
of that problem by the Trans-Mississippi
Commercial Congress, such proved not
to be the case.

Gardner of st. Louis secured the floor and
move the adoption of some resolutions
They slightly differed from the Wetmore
resolutions earlier in the session and pre-
cipitated another lively debate. The
point Of discussion was more whether the
proposition should generally be looked
upon as partisan action by the Congress
than on the merits of the case. BY a
vote of 20 to 10. the resolutions were
adopted as follows:
Whereas. The trust system has been
and is a menace to our republican in
stitution, and,
Whereas, If allowed to continue to
form combinations in restraint of trade
and for the elimination of competition.
the wealth of the entire country will be
concentrated in the hands of few; and.
Whereas. The said combinations are
calculated to destroy the hope and ambi-
ton of the youth of the country, it being
well understood that the ambition and
hope of the young menyof this nation have
made it great: therefore be 1t

President of the United States be re-

c. L. Lavretta Presides.

Mobile. Aug. 22.-(Special.)-Ther was
rousing Jelks meeting tonight in the
Mobile Theatre. which was well filled
with large and enthusiastic audience.
notwithstanding the torridness of the
weather. There were at least thou
sand persons in the audience. including
many ladies'
Hon. c. L. Lavretta. president of the
Board of Public works, was chairman
of the meeting, and addresses were made
by Hon. Gregory L. Smith. Hon. Richard
H. Clarke and DR.. r. NJ. Cunningham
Mr.. Smith spoke with regard to the
letter which Governor Johnston tried to
make political capital of last night, and
said that 1t was a rule among gentlemen
that no gentleman would read the letter
written by one gentleman to another
without the consent Of the recipient. and
that no gentleman would make public a
letter written by one gentleman to
another without the consent Of the writer
He charged that the letter had been pur-
Joined from the gentleman to whom 1t
was written. and said 1t was a private
letter written by one gentleman to
another. and not intended for publication.
Stood by the Letter.
He was there to stand by every word
in the letter and had no apologies to
make. and there was not a working man
within the sound of his voice who did
not know that every word expressed In
that letter is true. He denied that the
letter characterized all the supporters OF
Johnston as whiskey buns and hoodlums.
Then he dissected the poll tax clause Of
the new constitution which Johnston OPP
posed, to show that If Johnston advocated
the repeal of that clause he advocated
negro supremacy without knowing it.
Mi. Clarke paid his attention to refut-
ing some of the financial statements made
by Governor Johnston last night and to
the claim made by some of the Johnston
speakers last night that Johnston had
reduced taxation, and also paid a glow
ing tribute to the men who framed the
new constitution. saying they had builded
better than they knew and had raised to
themselves a monument more lasting
than brass.
Mr.. Clarke said that a request to d.
vide time tomorrow night had been sent
to the Johnston campaign committee. and
that he had been chosen to represent the
Jelks side. He asked to be opposed by
one or two speakers, and he hoped to
have an opportunity Of again addressing
his fellow citizens tomorrow night. as
Johnston seemed so anxious that some
of his adherents shoould meet some OF
the Jelks men in joint debate.
Mr.. Cunningham made one of his char
acteristic addresses in which he dwelt at
length on the new constitution and john
ston's attitude towards it. He also spoke
briefly in behalf of his own candidacy.
The meeting was a very successful one.
