I q
through New England, where he
has been received with gratifying
signs OF public approval and aaec-
ton, has delivered number oi
speeches that might he called
"Plain Sermons on the Duties
and Responsibilities of Wealth. =
Not only in their subjects but in
their tone and in the frequent. IL
sometimes inaccurate Biblical al
lusions are these speeches like ser
mons. 1t is quite evident that the
dangers of the present 'eTa oi
prosperity"-the social and moral
as we'll as the economic dangers
have Impressed him with the
necessity of plain speaking against
the notous extIavagances of the
suddenly rich. A man OF very
moderate means who has always
lived simply, he is naturally Of
Tended by the "ugly badness" OF
the evils that have arisen from
"good times" and distressed by
the sight of the wicked who -four
ish." But he counsels moderation
and patience, and, above all, good
nature in discussing the problem.
"When the weather is good tor the
crops it is good for the weeds. II
when people wax fat they kick,
they will speedily destroy their
own prosperity. If in spirit OF
sullen envy they insist on pulling
down those who have profited most
by years OF fatness. they will bury
themselves in the crash of the
common disaster. There is every
need OF striving in all possible
ways, individually and collective
ly, by combinations among our
selves and through the recognized
organs OF the government for the
cutting out OF these evils. Only
let us be sure that we do no, use
the knife with an ignorant zeal
that would make it more danger.
Gus to the patient than to the dis.
ease"
Coming to practical remedies,
he made decided and important
declaration on the subject OF the
trusts. Conceding the impossi.
bIlity OF preventing huge indus
trial combinations, he said: "The
immediate need in dealing with
trusts is to place them under the
real, not nominal. control of some
sovereign, to which, as its creature,
the trusts shall owe allegiance, and
in whose courts the sovereigu's
orders may with certainty be en-.
forced. In my Judgment this
sovereign must be the national
government. The first exercise of
that power should be the securing
OF publicity among all great cor
porations doing an interstate bust
ness. The publicity, though now
inquisitorial, should be real and
thorough as to all important facts
with which the public has concern.
The full light of day is great dis.
courager of evil" These remarks
have been received with pretty
general approval in all parts OF the
country, although few surly lines
from newspaper editors that con-
iessedly draw their opinions with
their salaries IRON Wall street
have shown the quarters from
which the president may expect
trouble If he attempts to carry out
the programme here outlined. 1t
is popular programme just at
present. for the country, instead
of firing Of the incessant discus
sion OF trusts, has been irritated to
a dangerous mood by the contempt
for public rights and the unbound
ed arrogance OF the so called
"trust magnates. Golfers

 BERLIN, Oct. 1S.-The Philharmonic House was filed to it's U.most capacity for the Boer meeting last night. The sale of tickets realized $6,750, some persons paying as much as $250 for seat Military uniforms were almost entirely lacking. Herr LueckhoH, membeH of the reichstag and president of the Boer reception Gcomtnfttee pre- sided at the meeting. slf
 The generals, and especially General De Wet, received rouSing welcome. They all spoke in Dutch at considera- ble length, Pastor Showalter, who at one time lived in the Transyaa1, trans lating the speeches, which were eager ly applauded.
 The speakers avoided attacks upon Great Britain, but the audience cried 'Shame!'' when General Botha re ferred to tho charges that MT. Kruger had carried off Transvaal money and mentioned the concentration camps. General Botha asserted that the Boers would be true to the peace treaty like men. At the conclusion of General Botha's remarks Herr Lueckhoff asked the audience to desist from crying stShame!''
 General Delarey described the mis- erable plight of the Boers in expressive language.
 General De Wet said he hoped the Boers would have a great future and added, s'We will wait until Gods time (.oIneS'' This remark was greeted with thunderous applause. The speaker es- timated the damages of the war at S300,00OO00 and asked, What is $3,- 100000 to replace thatg'
 Count von Mirbach, a member of the Prussian house of lords, then addressed the Boers. He praised their Warlike deeds and proposed three cheers in their honor.
 Three young ladies presented laurel wreaths to the Boer generals. and Gen erals Delarey and De Wet kissed the girls who made the presentation.

A RELATED HARVEST.
Crops of the oId world Are Aban-
 damt. However.


 WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The de- partment of agriculture's summary of crops of the world shows that, owing to the remarkably cool and wet sum. mer experienced throughout a consid- erable part of Europe, the harvest of 1902 is one of the latest on record.
 The senioficial Russian estimate makes the wheat, rye, barley and oat crops of that country not only larger than in 1901, but exceeding that aver age for the five years 1S96-1900.
 Throughout about four-ffths of the German empire harvesting was de- layed by frequent rains, and there was still much grain in the. field in the middle of September. The Austrian official figures say that wheat and bar ley are good average crops, while rye is only medium to good medium.
 From Hungary the official report re ceived at the department here shows that maize has suffered from drought, m some districts the plants producing no ears and in others the grain ripen- ing before the ears attained a normal development
 The Roumanian wheat crop is offi- cially estimated as the best in many years The French ministry of agricul- ture has issued a preliminary report giving the wheat production of France as 352, ,OOo,OOo bushels, an increase of over 13 per cent over 1901. The crops in Belgium are stated to be compara- lively satisfactory.
 Tn Great Britain the area under wheat cultivation is 25,508 acres great CT than in 1901. The recent weather through Great Britain has greatly helped it's farmers in completing their belated harvests.
 Harvesting is progressing favorably in Denmark. Wheat and rye are of normal yield and good quality. The wheat crop of Italy, according to pres- ent indications, will be approximately O.OOO, 900 bushels. The recent rains in Argentina entirely saved the crops, and it is estimated that the yields will exceed last year by over 40 per cent.
 Wheat areas in Australia have been helped by heavy rains. Generally fa- yorable reports of coming crops have been received from. all provinces of India. The rice crop of Japan hurt by tue wet Su1AL4SL, plOOaOAJ sWhA " " low the average. ~. The official estimate of Spain is that that country will have the largest wheat crop for many years and will have considerable surplus for expor- tation.
 The Nile food this year is the low est in twenty-five years, and, although the scarcity of water will partly be compensated for by the new works ex- ecuted by the British government, the crops in upper Egypt are likely to suf-' fer, - *. .z.

Rumors of oppo.itfon.

Oct 18.-Reports have been circulated that the locals of the United Mine Workers in West scra nson, Pittston and some other lo- ealities had voted to instruct their del egates to oppose the acceptance of the operators proposition unless the com panies would agree to discharge the honunion men, take hack all the old employees, drop the suits instituted against strikers and recognize the un- lon It was impossible to verify these reports. but they are persistently and generally circulated. A significant fact in this connection was the con- eeFn Of District President Nichols yes terdRy over published report that he was at the head of a movement to op- pose the acceptance of the proposition. This report" said MT. Nichols last evening, lis doing no end of mischief. I am satisfied, however, that the con vention will accept the proposition.

I have been in favor of it from the very first, and the vote of the district off, cers recommending it's acceptance to the convention was unanimous"

EarI Roieas fo Visit Us.

LONDON, Oct. 1S.I is learned that Generals Corbin, Young and Wood have rendered Earl Roberts cordial invitation to visit the United States and that the British commander in chief will possibly go to America next spring. The American generals are particularly anxious that Earl Roberts should visit America i'll order that they may have an opportunity of repaying the many eourtesies he has shown them during their stay in England. Earl Roberts told the American gen erals at a late hour last evening that he had practically decided to accept their invitation and go to the United States in December of 1903 and that there was a possibility of his crossing in time to witness the international yacht races in that year. It is Earl Roberts desire that Generals French and Kelly-Kerny accompany him.
