plying universities throughout the empire and
after paying hearty a tribute to Oxford and
Cambridge as the most academic don could have
desired, enlarged upon the advantages of spec
ialized courses Of study in industrial and COL
onial centres, and recommended concerted action
by the principal teaching universities OF Greater
Britain for rendering postgraduate studies and
researches accessible TO students from all parts
of the Kings dominons Before he had finished
what might have been considered the perfume
tory duty of welcoming the delegates and of ex-
pressing sympathy with their work his voice
deepened and his arms were outstretched in
masterful gesture They were engaged in educa-
tional work for the Empire, and ought TO de-
rive inspiration from the thought that they
could assist in training the rising generation in
it's obligations and responsibilities. Then fol-
lowed a brief. comprehensive reference to his
movement for linking together the posses
sions Of the British crown in a single homo
geneous commonwealth It was a great cause
which he might not live to carried to its
final triumph; but II would go from genera
tion to generation until the supreme consum-
nation of united empire was brought about!
And what everybody, whether in England or in
the colonies, must do. was to remain content
with laboring for a great idea and with making
sacrifices for it. having faith in the principles
of progressive and united imperialism.
Mr.. Chamberlain surprises even his ardent
supporters with the fervor of his manner when
ne discusses imperial unity-the cause which
lies nearest to his heart rnasterful debater
like AIr Gladstone, he has also felt the stimu-
lative effect OF a great work reserved for his
closing years; and while he is exposed to the
same risks of dividing powerful political party
and estranging the sympathies of lifelong sup
porters, he, too, speaks with absolute sincerity
OF conviction. genuine moral earnestness and
elevation of style. The highly educated body Of
colonial visitors may not have understood his
fiscal policies, nor have been wholly in sym
pathy with the revival of Protectionism after
fifty years of Free Trade; but every man
among them deeply impressed with the
fervor of his earnestness when he spoke of the
great work of uniting the British Empire and
how willing and how proud every Englishman
or colonial subject should be to make some
sacrifice for it. The same feryor will be felt
by popular audiences when he speaks in the
autumn in the industrial centres of England and
Scotland. / N. F.

GoUernor Yates Not To Be Candi-
date for Vice-President.

Richard Yates. Governor of Illinois, accompa-
MED by his wife, Miss Margaret Strong and DR..
L. C. Taylor, assistant surgeon in the Illinois
National Guard, who have been travelling in
Europe for several weeks arrived here yester-
day on the steamer Campania.
Politics. said Governor Yates. a man who
has been away six or eight weeks is not in a
position to talk politics. I have not seen the
papers; I've been away on pleasure"
Are you going to make an announcement now
of your candidacy for reelection"
Governor Yates intimated that he had nothing
to say on this subject at this time. but it was
clear from the manner in which he spoke that he
probably would be a candidate
1t was mentioned that Frank o. Lowden and
Charles Deneen had political aspirations.
Both are splendid mea" said Governor Yates,
"and respect them" He would not discuss the
situation in Illinois further.
Your name has been mentioned as possible
candidate for Vice-Presdent on the Republican
ticket he was told
"I answered that question when went away"
he replied. Il said then that there was only
one Office higher than Governor of Illinois. and
that was the Presidency. I saw that statement
in Paris paper, and that statement appeared
as though was after the Presidency. did not
mean to convey such an idea. I am for Roose-
velt. I have been for him for some years, and
repeat now, as 1 did when sailed, that we IN
my State are in favor of Roosevelt.
'I do not want to talk politics, for have been
away on a rest. When I go away for a vacation
I go away for nothing but rest and pleasure.
That is one thing I like about the President
When he works he works hard. and when he
goes to play he plays hard
It was pointed out to the Governor that,
though he had said that Illinois was not affected
by the negro question. a negro had been lynched
in that State soon after he sailed. To this he
replied:
'I deplore lynching. The punishment Of the
Iynchers belongs to another branch Of the State
government, but can assure you that if any
are sent TO prison for such an act will see that
they stay there.
'I went abroad to see places and persons, and
I have come back full OF what have SEEN

they have accomplished things With II an

MAYOR LOW AT SYCAMORE
He Is Wiling. 1t Is Declared, To Be
a Candidate for Reelection.
Tsr rELEGRArH 70 rHE rR1suNr.l

Oyster Bay Long Island, July 1S.-It can be
asserted confidently that Mayor Low. who was
one OF the principal visitors at Sycamore Hill
to-day, is willing to be candidate for re-elec-
tion as Mayor OF New-York. He is not and has
not been a candidate for diplomatic post
The visit to Sycamore to-day Of George Won l.
Meyer. Ambassador to italy. at the same time
as Mayor Low was no more than coincidence,
it is understood and without any significance
1t is understood that the object OF the visit OF
the Italian Ambassador was merely TO pay his
respects to the President.
It is understood that the President is in thor
ough sympathy with Mayor Low and the reform
administration, and that the Presidents invita-
tion TO him to-day was dictated by a desire to
talk over the general situation in New-York. in
cluding Police Department matters
Other members of the reform administration
it is said are to be summoned to Oyster Bay
in the near future. 1t is reported that Robert
w. De Forest, the Tenement House Cornrnis-
sioner, will be one Of those with whom the Pres
ident will confer early next week
Mayor Low. on board his steam yacht Sur
prise. arrived in the bay early this afternoon,
debarklng at the Emlen Roosevelt dock, few
feet below the Sycamore homestead, shortly
before / O'Clock. After being entertained by
the President and Mrs Roosevelt at luncheon.
Mayor Low had an hours conference with the
Chief Executive. re-embarking on board the
Surprise soon after 4:30 O'Clock.

bia, who arrived here yesterday, will remain

KEEPS HIS HAMMER BUSY.
Bryan Puts IN an afternoon an Chi
cago Knocking CIeUeIand.

Chicago. July 1S-Wfam Jennings Bryan ad-
dressed several thousand Democrats to-day at the
Chicago Democracy picnic at Brands Park He
dwelt especially the possible candidacy of
Grover Cleveland in 1904 He said in part:
Democrats are handicapped just now by the fact
that the last Democratic administration that
we had was subservent TO corporate
dictation than any Republican administ tration
that had preceded it, and the record OF that
administration has been a milestone about the
party's neck ever since. The influence eXerted BY
Wall Street over the administrations policy, the
use Of patronage to reward those who betrayed
their constituents and the employment OF the most
reprehensble of Republican methods made the ad@
mnstTatiOn a stencil in the nOstriis or the people,
and kept in the Republican party many VINO were
disgusted at that party'S course.
The odium which Mr.. CleVeland'S second ADMIN
istration brought upon the party which elected
him did more to defeat the party than any one
plank OF the Chicago platform, or even than all tne
blanks that were most severely criticised But Tor
the repudiation of the administration 1t would
have been impossible to make any campaign at al,
and even the reputation, thorough and complete
as il was could not completely dtsnTect the party.
The greatest menace that the party has TO meet
to-day is not the probability, but the possibility,
of the party's TO the position that II occu-
ped from 1892 to 1896 This danger is not so iInrn-
nent as the corporation controlled papers make II
appear but in so far 1t at all threatens II
pa araIyzes the energies Of the party and nulllnes
it's promises. Such return would indicate a
degradation Of the party's ideals and perVerslon
of its purposes.

TALK OF SQUADRON C.
Rumors Revived of General Roe's
Desire for CaUaIry Regiment.

Rumors that Major General Charles F. Roe
N G. N Y, is anxious to have Troop so en-
larged that it may be divided into two troops
to form a squadron-Squadron Care being re-
vived. 1t is said that the head Of the State
guard is ambitious to have full regiment of
cavalry under him, and to that end wishes to
see a squadron in Brooklyn soon as 1t can
be brought about.
1t can be declared pretty positively, however,
that nothing will be done along that line until
Troop c gets into the new armOry, the plans
for which have just been accepted and which
is to be built at President-st. and Bedford-ave.
Then it would be the logical thing to organize
another troop, for Troop has long waiting
list, and the new building will be large enough
to accommodate a squadron. Just at present
Captain Debevoise and the other officers do not
wish TO talk about the proposition. as they con-
slider that it would be anticipating Major Gen
eral Roe's plans. AS detached troop Troop c
has 113 men and officers. AS one troop of
squadron 1t would have only eighty, that
less than fifty more men would be needed to
make up the squadron.

REVENUE SINECURES.
REFORM rs NECESSARY.
One Official Gets S1,OS4 20 a Year
to Collect 10 Cents.
[rRoM TIE TRIBUNE BuErAu. l

Washington, July 1S.-The United States has
15S ports Of entry, where customs revenues are
collected. and it also has thIrty-two different
systems Of compensating collectors and sur
veyors OF these ports This fact is emphasized
in the annual report of the auditor for the
Treasury Department, issued for the fiscal year
just ended. The auditor makes a strong rec
ommendation on this point, suggesting that
Congress be asked TO fix by law a definite COM
pensaton for the officers of each port. COM
mensurate with the volume Of business.
In this connection attention is called TO the
enormous cost of collecting small revenues at
q number of the ports. At Albemarle n. c, the
average receipts for the last five years have
been 81 so. while the annual expense for col
lecting this amount has been S1,691 9S At An
napolis. Md. it has cost 81, ,155 year to col
lect Sc 20 in revenue. At Beaufort, N. c., $40 80
has been collected annually at an expense of
S16oo 81. At Bridgeton, n. J.. S1,572 90 has
been the expense of collecting S173 IS. AT Bur
nngton, Ia, $50 21 has been the annual re-
ceipts for five years at an annual expense TO
the government of 1891 50. At Burlington \.
J., the collector has taken in S24 40 a year, for
the doing Of which he was paid S162. Chat
tanooga. Tenn, does a business Of 500 y a
year at annual expense of S412 10. Cherry
stone, Va, has collector who has taken in 40
cents year for five years and received for this
Eastern Maryland collects S31 SO year at an
expense to the government of $3, 1923 81. Edger-
town, Mass, collects S616 81 at expense of
$2,420 81 At Galena, H., the surveyor OF the
port receives 1851 65 and collects 50 40 At
Georgetown, S. c.. the government pays S4Oo 40
to collect So "a. Humboldt. Cal. is tax to the
government of 5000 O2 a year, and yields
revenue Of S911 81. Kennebunk, Me, takes in
So % a year at an expense Of $131 50 La
Crosse, Wis, receives S35 20 at an expense of
1868 u. Little Egg Harbor. n. J.. does a Gus
toms business of $50 p at an expense of S35S 10
Just 50 16 is the annual receipts of the collector
Nantucket, Mass, for collecting which he re-
ceives 1862 %. 1t costs $500 to collect 81 year
at Natchez Miss At Teche. La, the collector
of the port receives from the government
SS,046 96 a year for collecting $40 Al. Forty
cents a year is collected in customs at Yaquina'
Ore, at an expense of $1.034 20. while York.
Me, collects 50 cents year at an expense OF
S256
The auditor has called attention TO the neces-
sity of a revision of the system OF paying col
lectors and surveyors in his annual report Tor a
number of years. The cause Of the varying sys-
TENS is the fact that Congress in many in
stances fixes the compensation of port Oflcers IN
the law establishing the port, and no uniform
rule has been followed by Congress in this mat
