MARKED BY DEEP sINCfRU,
CHILDREN SHOWER THE Gov
ERNOR's CARRIAGE WITH
POWERS.
TELLS PEOPLE or his MISSION
IN TWO YEARS ISLANDS WILL BE
PRACTICALLY on FREE
TRADE BASIS.

Manila, Aug. "a. - The reception to
Gov. Taft, who yesterday arrived here.
was the grandest affair in the history of
the philippines. The residents of the
islands state that IL was never APP
preached in any way by the Spanish
royal celebrations. In its elaboration ss
of details, dignity and sincerity, and
spontaneous enthusiasm, it has never
been excelled.
The governor landed opposite Fort
Santiago and was saluted by 10000 peo-
pie. including the entire Manila garri-
son, members Of the Federal party,
Chinese. Americans, Filipinos. members
of the chambers of commerce. American
and other clubs and schools and
provincial delegations.
There was a procession of carriages
that reached for a mile and half This
procession acted as an escort for Gov.
Taft through the streets that were lined
with flags. There were eight trl-
umphal arches. under which Gov. Taft
had to pass. Children standing on the
sidewalks threw flowers as the gov
ernor's carriege passed by and released
doves. The governors carriage was
halted frequently by the cheering
crowds. At one point II was sur
rounded by eighty boys and girls, who
rang hymn dedicated to Gov. Taft.
When the governor reached the pail
ace the chairman of the reception COM
mittee delivered an address of welcome.
Senior Herrera. in behalf of the city,
followed with another welcoming
speech.
Gov. Taft Deeply Moved.
Gov. Taft was apparently deeply
moved by these demonstrations. In a
speech in reply to the addresses the
governor told Ia an interesting,
straightforward way Of his experiences
at Washington and Rome. He said the
American congress was actuated solely
In the legislation for the islands for
the best interests OF the people. He de-
clared that the Inhabitants should be
congratulated on this legislation, which
was in favor OF the Filipinos. and did
not permit the exploitation of the
islands.
He went On TO say that possibly so ne
of the measures that appeared restricts
i've would be modified if II were found
that they were detrimental to business.
The governor laid particular emphasis
on the statement that the United States
was moved by the kindliest and most
generous feelings toward the Filipinos.
This statement was greeted with great
applause. He predicted that American
tariff duties on Philippine products
would be reduced in two years to a
practically free trade basis. He urged
his hearers to avoid using political agl-
tation and to turn their attention TO ag-
riculture and manufacturing. This
sentiment was greeted with applause.
After the reception at the palace.
hundreds remained liz the marble room
to shake hands with the governor, who
appeared in excellent health.

HARTFORD WAS IN GALA DRESS
THOUSANDS TURN OUT TO TENDER
GREETING TO THE PREsI-

PLEASING FEATURE or THE DAY

FLORAL PIECE ny THE
wORKINGMEN.

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 24.-President
Roosevelt was welcomed in HARTFORD
on his New England tour yesterday py
great burst of enthusiasm. The pres
Ident chowed his pleasure at the recep-
ton he received and delivered we'll
received speech last night on important
rational relations. To President Roose-
welt the feature of the day was the
presentation of a large floral piece oy
the workingmen of Hartford. Hartford

In Poke Park, one of the beautitul
outlying recreation spots OF the city,
the president was greeted by 10000
workingmen, who presented him with
magnificent floral horseshoe inscribed:
"workingmen's welcome to our presi-
dent"
Father Michael Sullivan made few
remarks of welcome, in which he COM
rlended the
Honesty and sincerity
Of purpose of the president in all his
acts. The president responded, and MS
remarks we're frequently interrupted
by applause. He said:
Father Sullivan: / came here to say
few words myself, but nothing that
| can say will in any way have the sig
nifcance that the gift from the wage
workers II Hartford has. should, or
course, be wholly untitled for the posi-
ton / occupy If did not give my best
thought and best purpose to trying 10

America. (Cheers). My most resolute
purpose shall be given, and, II | may
say so. is being given, to trying to DO
anything that can be done to help our
reople. Perhaps can do this best oy
trying to help as well as / can their
best purpose and their best thought.
(Cries of Good. good.) l should like to
accept that gift as in some way per-
sonai 10 myself, but would rather ac-
cept it as know it is meant, as
Gift From Americans
to a man who for the time being en-
bodies American governmental princi-
pies. (Cries of Good. good and cheers.)
Five thousand men and women
CT DIVIDED the Coliseum here last night to
hear the address of President Roosevelt.
At least two-thirds of the audience
were workingmen, and the enthusiasm
manifested by them when the president
alluded to the rights of the toiler
aroused the keenest interest Again
and again during his PREDATORY re-
marks, which were based on the after
rcon--the presentation of a floral horse
shoe by the workingmen-the president
was interrupted by yociferous applause.
Such side remarks as the following:
II do not care how honest a man NAV
be. If he is timid he is no good" evoked
loud laughter. Again, in speaking OF
the isthmian canal, he aroused mirth by
saying that one OF the problems in con-
nection with the great engineering
feat would be to procure fifty-thou-
sand-doilar patriotic, ambitious men to
work for a PENTHOUSE nd dollar fee.

SOUTH DAKOTA CROPS.
Report Of the Government weather
Bureau.

Bureau.
The temperature during the week av-
eraged a little cooler than usual for the
time in the season. There were we'll
distributed showers OF fair to good
amount, except In the north portion,
which were very beneficial to corn, late
flax, late potatoes, millet and pastures,
but In the northern portion rain is much
needed over large areas for late crops
and pastures. While stacking, thresh-
ing and haying were little interrupted
by the rains, there was no material de-
lay In the work.
The harvesting of small grains is
about completed In the middle portion
OF the state and is progressing rapidly
towards completion in the north portion.
The outlook for generally very good
yields and a good quality OF grain con-
tinues very favorable.
Where not injured by frost, corn and
fax have done WELL and corn especially,
In the southeaster ncounties. Much OF
the early corn crop is in roasting ear.
The frost OF the 18th inst. damaged
much corn. but principally the late
planted. In many counties in the Middle
and Upper James and Sioux River val
leys. and some fields of the late-plante5
are reported ruined. except for fodder.
The damage was not general, however,
ind many fields in all counties affected,
especially of the early-planted. appear
to have escaped injury of any conse-
quence. There was also considerable
millet and some late FAX and potatoes
damaged. The ultimate effect OF the
frost will depend largely upon subse-
quent weather.
Considerable early fax is ripening OF
being harvested, and it is generally
good. The late fax is doing fairly well
where not affected by frost.
Early potatoes are generally good, but
In many counties the prospect for late
potatoes Is not very good.
Haying Is in fairly general progress
and is being pushed, with generally very
good yields ami quality of native grass,
