SENATOR HOAR ON VIII AT
THE FLAG STANDS FOR.

The anniversary of the birth of. George
Washington was generally observed in
Chicago Monday, the principal celehra
ton being under the auspices of;thess:Un
ion League Club in the Auditorium. Sen
ator George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts,,
was the orator of the day and delivered a
eulogy upon Washington before an au-
dience of 1000 people. His address was
in part as follows:
edward Everett, in a great Grafton be
fore the war, called upon his countrymen,
as it seemed for time in vain, to forget,
to turn deaf ear to unpatriotic counsels,
to the mad cry of treason and disunion,
and return once ore to the patriotic
counsel of Washington. 1t seemed for a
time as if the appeal was UNDECIDED. But
the spasm of popular madness and rage
passed by, and Washington resumed his
place again as our supreme counselor and
leader. He became once more the exam
Pile and idol of every American soldier
and statesman, and the Farewell Address
became once again the political bible of
every American. Doubt not that this
shall happen again and again.
'Other temptations will come to US, and
party spirit, like Satan sitting at the ear
of Eve, will speak again its baleful coun-
sci in the ear of the people. Popular ex-
element will be kindled by the lust of
empire and passion for conquest. The
eyes of the people may be dazzled for
time by false and tinsel military glory.
But while the portrait of Washington
hangs in every village; while his statues
adorn our chief cities while his monu
mcnt is found in every state; while his
life is on the shelf of every home while
the detail of his great career is studied in
every university; while his image is in
the heart of every youth, the people will
come back again tc the wise, sober and
just counsel in the following which lies in
the path to true glory and true safety.
The American people will never long to
go astray SO long as TO every great ques'
ton of national policy or national duty
they know what Washington would have
said, and know what Washington did say.
THE orator of today puts his emphasis
on glory, on empire, on power, on wealth.
We live under, and love, and We still shed
our hearts blood for the same flag which
floated over our fathers, and for which
they were ready to die. But it sometimes
seems that the flag has differert mean
ing, whether it floats over the Capitol or
ship of war, or the regiment on the march,
or the public assembly. We no longer
speak Of it, except co1dly and formally,
as the symbol of liberty; but only as tit
symbol of power, or of a false, cheap,
tinsel glory.
Il think the popular reverence for
Washington and Lincoln and for Sum-
ner and for Webster is not abated. But
yet few political speakers quote today
great sentences which made them 50 ia
nous, or the great principles to which
they devoted their lives.

w ASHINGTON'S
BIRTHDAY.

The anniversary of the birth Of George
Washington was Monday celebrated by
the citizens of the old historic town of
Alex tndria. Va, with a grand military,
civic and industrial procession. The
parade was about tw, miles in length.
There were II bands and about 5000 uni
formed men in line.
Every house along the line Of march
was prufuse!y decorated with flags and
bunting, and business was practically sus
pended during the afternoon. Several
thousand Westinghouse came by boat
and train, and long before the pageant
started King street, the main thorough
fare of the old city. was seetbing mass
of humanity.
The procession started at 2 O'Clock and
traversed the principal paved streets OF
the city. Many Washington organizations
turned out in the procession. The chief
marshal of the parade was Maj or William
M. Smith, with number Of aides and q
large staff of mounted men. Following
the Major and his staff Of officers came
Governor Montague in a carriage with
Mayor George L.. Simpson. The Cover
nor received great ovation all along the
line of march.
Following came distinguished visitors
and the mem befs Of the city council, board
of aldermen and distinguished visitors.
The provisional battalion of the Seventieth
Virginia Regiment acted as an escort to
the Governor
At the conclusion Of the parade several
thousand uniformed men were entertained
in Armory Hall. Most of the features OF
the nights dnings included a grand ban
quet rendered to Governor Montague by
the Alexandria Washington Lodge of
Masons. The members of the Alexandria
German Club gave delightful german
A number of private clubs kept open
house all day, and the visitors were treated
in true old Virginia style.

WAR THREATENS
ALL EUROPE.

The Macedonian situation is distinctly
threatening and only the most optimistic
of those in touch with the state of affairs
believe that clash can be avoided which
may involve all Europe in war
1t is known that the revolutionary com
mittees in Macedonia have set March 1st
for rising against Turkish authority. 1t
is further known that the reforms which
Russia and Austria are urging upon the
Porte are not satisfactory to the Mace
domains. Even if they were there is hard
ly time now for their acceptance and pro.
mitigation in time to prevent the plans of
the revolutionists maturing.
Already there have been several clashes
between the Macedonians and Turkish
troops, but serious work is not expected
before March 1st. Turkey realizes the
situation fully, and it is believed that
the Porte " i'll readily comply with the de-
mands Of the powers and promise the re-
forms demanded. This will be done not
so much with the idea of preventing an
outbreak as to tie the hands of Russia and
Austria and prevent their interference
when the time comes for her to deal with
the rebels.
Turkey is preparing for what she re-
CARDS as the inevitable, and when it comes
she will be prepared to deal promptly and
ruthlessly with the Macedonians.
If the trouble could be confined to Mac
edonia there would be little anxiety, but
it is certain that with the first fighting
Bulgaria will be in arms Roumania, Ser
via and Montenegro may join in and the
whole Balkan region will be in blaze.
Will it be possible for Russia and Aus
tria to keep from intervening? If they do
take hand to force settlement what
will be the attitude of the other powers?
Will France be able to compel Germany,
England and Italy to keeps hands off?
These are the questions which are caus-
ing sleepless nights in every chancellorie
in Europe. 1t is probable that the answer
will come before very long.

PENINSULA NEWS.
Items Of Interest Taken From
Our Exchanges and
Condensed.

A shocking accident happened at
the Mohawk mine, near Calumet,
last Sunday evening. John Kaiser,
an old gentleman who was border
ing on the ripe old age Of three
score years and ten, was at Traverse
Bay, and unknown to those in charge
OF the train he endeavored to climb
on just as the train got in motion.
1t is supposed that he slipped in
some unaccountable way and the
wheels passed over his legs with a
sickening crunch. Both legs were
severed from his body. He was
still breathing when picked up, but
expired while being taken to the
hospital. Deceased was widower,
but leaves family of grown-up
children, two sons in Montana, and
one Frank Kaiser, is treasurer of
Keweenaw county. Deceased was
well and favorably known in Hough-
ton and Keweenaw counties.
The body OF James Ford, of Mar
inette, was found on the North
western track, near Menominee,
where it had been run over and cut
in two by switch engine. As he
was known to have had at least 500
on his person, ,and only s. was found
on the remains, the suspicion is
strong that he was killed and placed
on the track.
The Diamond Match company is
now working one gang on the night
shift at its hoist at Ontonagon, and
about eighty cars of logs are being
loaded daily. This will be increased
to 100 as soon as the electric light
plant, now being built on the bank
of the river, goes into commission.
The logs are going to the company's
saw mill at Green Bay. There are
still $4,000, 900 feet of them in the
river, land every effort is being made
to clean them up before the cold
weather sets in.

WORK POSTPONED.
Shortage of Material Delays Con-
structiOn of New Trestle Near
South Shore Depot.

Work on the construction of the
stone abutments for the new bridge
being built by the D., S. S. & A.
railway company, across Fall river,
near the L'Anse depot, has been
held up since Thursday on account
of shortage of material The
stone used in the construction OF
the abutments is being received
from the Arnheim quarries and the
non-arrival OF this material is the
cause of the delay. Work will
doubtless be resumed Monday.
About a dozen men are employed
in building the foundation, and
they are under the superintendency
OF Contractor John Cleary, OF Mar
quette. The bridge will be com.
pleted in about two months.

AS to the value OF the acreage as
whole and the value of the lands in
the different counties, the land Office
officials are not competent to speak,
having no definite knowledge avail
able on that score. However, it is
probable that the majority of the
lands are not worth much. Michi-
gan is now pretty old and we'll
settled state, and it is likely that
about all of the public domain that
is worth having has been picked up.
There are undoubtedly some good
things lying around, but there would
be little inducement to take up the
greater part of the available acreage.
