CHEERED THE PRESIDENT.
Great Crowd at Station as Special
Rolled Through.

A crowd, such as seldom assemblies in
Gardiner. filled Depot square before Z
O'Clock Tuesday evening The 7.O7
train and electric cars for Augusta
We're filled by a crowd which taxed their
capacity. To board the electrics many
people went far up the Causeway to
meet the cars as they came down, in
that way avoiding the rush which took
place on the arrival of the cars in De
pot square. Even after many carloads
had left large crowd remained at the
depot to see the President as he passed.
The train bearing him was late and did
not arrive here until S.45 Waiting was
tiresome, but the people showed but
few signs of impatience.
The train ran slowly while going by
the station. and Pres. Roosevelt ap-
peared on the rear platform, waving
his hand in acknowledgement of the
peoples cheers.

alike TO the United States and to China But
they would altogether be menaced by such an
agreement as that which Russia has been try
ing 10 force upon China. In Manchuria they
would be practically destroyed, and it is In
Manchuria that they are greatest. Moreover,
the example set in Manchura by the success
of Russian aggression would certainly be fol-
lowed elsewhere AS Secretary Hay says, other
nations would demand and secure similar mo-
nopolies in other parts of the empire, until the
"open door, policy was completely wrecked
The only safety for American interests lies in
resolute resistance to the first attempt at IN
fringement upon our rights. and to the first at
tack. open or insdOus, upon that "open door
policy which this country has advocated ana
to which all other interested powers have given
their formal adherence
The circumstance will not escape attention
that the date of Secretary Hays note comedies
closely with that of the treaty between Great
Britain and Japan-a treaty which has in view
precisely the same end the note. 1t is prob
ably not altogether accidental. and it is GER
tanly most fitting that this should be so. 1t
confidently remarked when that treaty was
made public that it would command the hearty
moral support and cooperation Of the United
States. That was not merely because it was
made by two powers which sustain peculiarly
and chiefly because it was in line with Ameri-
can interests and was calculated to make for
maintenance of American policies The three
powers have identical interests and aims, and
they seek to maintain those interests and 10 at
tain those aims each I'm its own way. Great
Britain and Japan do so by means Of an Of
fensive and defensive alliance The United
States cannot consistently with ifs traditions
enter into such an alliance so it employs other
means. 1t acts alone through vigorous and
unmistakable diplomatic representations to the
powers concerned. 1t makes no threats. There
is not supposed to be need of any. It simply
states the case and appeals to the sense of Jus
tice and TO the friendship Of the powers con-
cerned. But the seriousness Of its language
leaves room for doubt to its tremendous
eanestness. We shall see If any power. how
ever great or however friendly. persists in a
course which the United States views with the
gravest concern" or will refuse to adopt such
measures as will relieve the Just and natural
anxiety OF this country.

CUBA'S NEED, AND OUPS.

tone. II was representative of the sentiment Of
this city and Of the nation 1t was entirely non

any more satisfactorily than will the Republi-

ly legitimate that the Republican party the
party Of protection and reciprocity has the
matter in hand, and is to be held accountable
for whatever disposition is made of it, II IS

rational reciprocity. and for McKinley's partv

saying ii is a difficult proposition for the Re
