PRESIDENT AT PHILADELPHIA
Incident That Startled OnIookers, but
Meant No Harm-He Makes Three
Speeches.

Philadelphia, Nov. "a. = President
Roosevelt, accompanied by several
members of bis cabinet, came to this
city Saturday afternoon and evening
During the afternoon the president was
the chief speaker at the exercises in
cident to the dedication of the new
Central high school for boys. He made
two addresses at the institution, one
being to 1,5OO pupils of this school. AT
night the president responded to a
toast during the Founders Day BAN
quet at the Union League. His speech
at the banquet touched on the issues
of the day, and was forcible expo
sition of his views on them. His speech
to the boys was brief and full of good
advice, ending with: Don't funk;
don't foul; hit the live hand" His
reception all day was most enthusi-
astic.
While the president was driving to
a reception in the afternoon a man
in the crowd dived under the ropes
stretched along the street and ran to-
ward him. The secret service men
saw him and shouted: Keep that
man backr' Secretary Cortelyou leaned
out of the carriage to protect the
president and the guard closed up. The
man, however, reached the carriage
and said he only wanted to shake
hands with the president, and the pres
ident gratified him. During the con-
fusion a negro got alongside the car
riage and selling the presidents hand
covered it with kisses.

"HITs THE LINE HARD"
Does Chief Statistician Powers when He
Makes a Rush at Some Critics of
the Census.

Washington, Nov. pa. G. Pow
ers, the chief statistician for agri-
culture in the census bureau, author
ICES tie following statement concern
ing Il report CT the committee Of the
National Board of Trade alleging that
the census figures of farm acreage are
grossly exaggerated:
THE most important specifications
under that charge, briefly summarized,
consist of one general and seven
specific items. as follows: The census
figures show 101 counties with farm
lands reported equal to or in excess
of surveyed land surface of such coun-
ties. For Ohio, 10 per cent. of the
number of counties are shown to repre-
sent 100 per cent or more of the entire
surface in farm lands; in Iowa. II per
cent; Kansas, IL per, cent; Kentucky,
8 per cent; Missouri. 8 per cent; Ten
nessee, e per cent; Indiana, q per cent.
etc.
with reference to the specific state
ments quoted above concerning the sew
en- states named only two of the quoted
statements can be substantiated as
they stand in the report. Further, the
committee, in making its report. did
not possess statistics of surveyed lands
for Il single state. These assertions
can be easily established, provided the
committee will give to the public the
names and area of surveyed land of all
the counties referred to by them.
THE statements of the committee
with reference to the excess acrea ge
in these seven states are more in eX-
cess of the facts than they allege the
farm acreage in such states to be in
excess of the true farm area. Further,
the so-called excess acreage actually
reported by the census is in harmony
with the facts. as cursory eXamina-
tion of the same Will demonstrate. In
prosecuting It's Investigations the conf
mittee never made one inquiry of the
chief statistician in charge with refer
ence to the alleged errors here passed
in review"

THANKSGIVING INSTITUTE
FOR COUNTY TEACHERS

No programs have been issued by
County Supt. Ferguson for the annual
Thanksgiving institute of the Rock
Island county teachers which will be
held at the high school assembly
room next Friday. The failure to ar
range with the speakers in time to
get the programs to the teachers is
the reason.
The meeting will open at $3.50 a. m.
with music under the direction of
Prof. Z. L. Philbrook. The entire
morning session will then be given
up to the lecture by Prof. Frank w.
Darling, of the Chicago normal, on
geography. The afternoon session
will begin at 1870, and after the open
ing music Rev. w. Hamilton Spence,
of Galesburg, will deliver his lecture
upon ''Burns-His Lyrics" After this,
if there is time, Prof. Darling will
again be heard from.

Gently printed some scandalous stories
rejecting on Krupp: it is asserted that

CRY FOR A STABLE CIRCULATION
Miles Adventure on Stranded
Ship.

Manila, Nov. 24.-Silver has suffered
further decline in value. The gov
ernment has issued a proclamation
making the official rate 2G0 for 100
gold; the former rate was $50.
The possibility of the adoption by the
Straits Settlements of gold standard,
and the reports current that Mexico
is about to abandon the silver stand
ard, have greatly weakened the Indian
and Asiatic silver market. Large guam
titles of Mexican silver are coming
here from China, as it is believed that
much gold is being circulated here on
account of government expenditures
The fact that United States trade is
going to China, and the losses in sill
yer, are seriously affecting the insular
treasury and business interests gener-
ally.
