at seeing SO many of the friends of his
Western days, and said he expected to see
more of his old friends as he continued
westward. He paid a special compliment
to the veterans of the civil and of the
Philippine wars who were present to greet
him. He expressed his great interest in the
growth and welfare of the State of North
Dakota. Il know the people of the West,
he said. There are two ways to know
man-by working with him or by fighting
with him-and on the ranges there are men
l have fought"
Concluding, the President laid stress upon
personal responsibility and personal effort
as the essentials in all well doing and pub
lie life.
Upon the conclusion of his address the
President was again called upon to meet
a number of old friends, and after a five
minute interview the members of the par
ty re-entered their carriages and were
the scene of a barbecue, where two oxen
and number of sheep were being roasted
for the attending crowds. AT the depot the
President was given another ovation, and
as far as the train could be seen bowed his
farewell to the crowd and waved his old
slouch hat in his right hand.
President Roosevelt stopped long enough
at the barbecue to receive a huge sand
witch of roast beef and rye bread. which
he ate with genuine relish.
Gentlemen he said to members of the
committee, as he bit into the sandwich,
you have put a capsheaf of enjoyment on

here. and it seems good to breathe this
Western air again. / cannot thank you
too much for the pleasure you have given

Is welcomed by Ranchmen at MedOra
and Receives Greeting from
Indians at Bismarck.
SPEECH ON THE PHILIPPINES
AFTER BREAKFAST ADDRESS TO A
THRONG AT FARGO, N. d.
Tribute to Governor Taft and the Sol
diers Who Fought to Restore
Peace in the Islands.

MANDAN, n. d., April 7.-President
Roosevelt has been travelling through ia
miliar country to-day, and has received
hearty greetings wherever his train stopped.
At many places he recognized old friends.
and from his conversation 1t is evident that
this has been one of the most enjoyable
days of his trip. At Fargo, jamestown and
Bismarck he made stops of from half an
hour to an hour, and discussed conditions
in the Philippines, the tariff and the gen.
eral prosperity the country is enjoying.
Stops also were made at Casselton, Tower
and Valley City, the home of Governor
White; Dawson, Dickinson and Medora. At
Bismarck the President was introduced to
a number of Indian chiefs, some of whom
had fought against Custer. He had traded
with two of these Indians eighteen or
twenty years ago, and he instantly reccg-
nized them. The chiefs presented an ad-
dress and pipe of peace to the President,
who had a few words of greeting and
thanks for each man. The most interest
ing ceremony of the day occurred at Me-
dora, where the President at one time
owned a ranch, and which was his post
Office address sixteen years ago. when he
was sheriff of Billings county. Medora is a
small place, but the ranchmen from the sur
rounding country had come into town. and
they gave the President truly Western
reception. Joe Ferris. who was the Presi-
dents old foreman, and his brother, s. M.
Ferris, met the President at Bismarck and
rode with him to Medora.

TO BOYCOTT FARMERS
PROPOSED REVENGE BY NEW YORK
SALOON KEEPERS.
VIII Attempt to Punish Rural Legis.
latOrs Because the Liquor Tax Was
Raised $4OO a Year.

NEW YORK, April 7.-Resolutions were
passed to-day by district No. 1 of the CEN
tral body of the Retail Liquor Dealers
Association boycotting all products of the
New York State farmers by the hotels,
restaurants and saloons in the district
bounded by Broadway. Fulton street and
the East river after May /. The district
contains about 200 saloons. about half of
which are in connection with restaurants.
A second resolution was passed asking the
New York city brewers to refuse all hops
raised by the New York State farmers.
Market men, grocers and produce men all
over the city will be asked to cooperate.
The proposed boycott is the outcome of
the additional tax of $500 year put on
LIQUOR dealers. In bringing about such a
boycott the saloon keepers have two OBJ
jects in view, first to even up in a measure
a long-felt prejudice against the ruralist
legislators, and. second, to so affect the
market and the pocketbook of the farmer
that he will be made to feel resentment at
Governor Odell, to whose influence the
liquor men attribute the passage of the new
tax.
The Retail Liquor Dealers Association
practically has bound itself to buy no
cheese from the New York State farmers.
which means millions of dollars to him
and the boycott, IL possible will be extend
ed to all products.

KING ALExANDER'S COUP
HOW THE SERVIAN RULER JUGGLED
WITH THE CONSTITUTION.
Suspended 1t Long Enough to Get Rid
of Enemies and Odious Laws, and
then Restored 1t.

BELGRADE, Servia. April liking AL
exander to-day executed a coup d'etat
He issued two proclamations, the first de-
creeing suspension of the Constitution
adopted April 19. 1901. repeating objection
able laws passed Hereunder retiring the
senator's and councillors of state, dissolv-
ing the Skupschtina. and re-enacting the
laws as they existed previous to the Con-
stitution of 1901. Immediately after this
proclamation an ordinance appointing new
senators and councillors of state were is
sued, and the King issued a second procla-
nation in which the Constitution of April
10, 1901. was restored to its full validity.
All the ministers who resigned simultan-
eously with the suspension of the Consti-
tuition were reinstated with the exception
of Foreign Minister Lozanico. who will be
succeeded by M. Denies. minister of pub
lie works. OF the newly-appointed life
members of the Senate twelve are old Liber-
ais and supporters of the former regent,
seven were formerly members of the Pro-
gressive party and five are neutral.
VIENNA, April liking Alexander's po-
litical jugglery with the Servian constitu-
ton Is regarded as a dangerous expert
ment but does not occasion any great sur
prise here, as the Kings desire TO curb
the power of the Radicals has long been
manifest. The manner in which the coup
d'etat was effected partakes OF the nature
of a comedy During the few minutes that
the constitution was suspended King Alex
ander was an absolute monarch. These
moments sufficed him TO dissolve the
Skupshtina and abolish half a dozen laws
which, he said. undermined the authority
OF the crown. The obnoxious laws relate
chiefly to the suffrage and will be replaced
by measures calculated to render the cleo
tion OF the Radicals extremely difficult.
The press law OF 1901 gives place to the
more stringent measure enacted in 1SS2.
King Alexander by his coup d'etat re-
moved the whole of the nineteen Radical
senator's whom he himself nominated as a
reward for their consent TO his marrying
Queen Draga. and replaced them by Lib
erals, Progressists and Neutrals. The SEN
ate now contains no Radicals. The new
government Is Conservative and military
General Bogioevics appointed president of
the State Council. and General Delmarko-
witch president of the Senate. In word,
the King has effectually muzzled the op-
position by placing his own nominees In all
possible offices. including the judiciary and
the municipal administration. He is now
virtually absolute ruler. 1t is feared
that disturbances will follow.

Chairman Wynne, of the Council COM
mittee on investigation and impeachment.
TO which the charges about the street
sprinkling contract were referred. has been
advised as to the legal powers Of the COM
mittee and will call a meeting probably
Thursday afternoon to discuss the method
of investigation. Mr.. Wynne finds that
the charter inferentially imposes the duty
of interrogating witnesses on the commit
tee, but he does not feel that the COM
mittee should do this. He rather prefers
that the two sides be presented by attor-
neys. Mr.. Wynne reasserted that he would
permit no investigation that was not wide
in its latitude and that he wanted every
one who could be OF assistance In the IN
vestigation to feel free in communicating
From what l have read of the charges,
said MIR. Wynne, Il would be disposed 10
believe they could not be sustained, put
i want every means used TO bring out the
facts and IL wrong has been done no MEM
Der of the committee will be more prompt
to so report than L.
Augustus Lynch Mason, attorney for the
Citizens League, said the league had had
no meeting since the Council committee
was appointed and he could not say wnetn-
er it would be represented In the investga-
ton by attorney. Ii is supposed that Mr..
Logsdon will be represented by his attor-
ney. Mr.. Wynne says he can see no reason
why the Citizens League should not De al
lowed to participate.
Mr. Wynne also feels that the controller
will have to recommend an appropriation Tor
the expenses incident to the investigation.
He says there will have TO be steno-
graphic report of the testimony and ex-
pense for serving subpoenas and that IL
may be necessary TO have a special meet
ing of the Council.
Mr. Wynne hopes to get the investigation
started by the first of next week;
Mr.. Expert, who was appointed TO sue
ceed Mr.. Spray on the committee, is talk
ing about resigning from it. Most of the
councilmen do not like service on such COM
mittees but Mr.. Expert has not yet for
maily asked to be relieved. Mr.. Expert
thinks the charges already published too
indirect to Justify any assumption OF guilt.

POSED AS JOAN OF ARC
ONE THOUSAND NOISY GREEK MILL
WORKERS LED BY A WOMAN.
Driven Through the Streets Of Lowell
by the Police and Riot Averted
Outcome of Strike.

LOWELL, Mass, April IA body Of po-
lice officers. marching in solid front from
curb to curb, drove a thousand noisy Greek
mill workers through the streets of Lowell
for nearly a mile tonight. and prevented
what might have developed into a riot,
growing out of the return to work of a
number of ring spinners at the Lawrence
hosiery, who left work week ago in SYM
pathy with the strike order of the textile
workers.
To-night's disturbance in front of the
gates Of the Lawrence corporation was the
first breach of the peace since the employees
of six of the seven big mills struck by or
der of the Textile Council. throwing ap-
proximately 1900 persons into idleness.
The police realize that IL was a narrow
escape from a serious clash between strike
sympathizers and themselves. for once or
ders were given TO the officers TO draw their
night sticks. The crowd fell back and the
danger was passed for the time being.
A woman figured prominently In to-
nights demonstration, and she essayed a
role somewhat after the manner of Joan of
Arc, leading great body of men through
the streets to the point where the police
were encountered. Confusion then came,
and the unknown woman was lost in the
crowd.
To-day was the Greeks usual holiday. the
anniversary of the Greek federation, and
In the colony was celebrated In a lively
way. The trouble had its inception In an
attempt of the Greeks to hold a mass meet
ing in the heart of the colony. The police
stopped this. Then the Greeks went to the
South Common, where the mass meeting
was held. From the same spot that Presi-
dent Roosevelt addressed an immense
throng last summer Greek orators urged
the men around them to keep up a stiff
fight for the 10 per cent. increase. Con-
stantin, the Greek society president, said
to his countrymen: Don't go to work un-
til you get your rights. Stay out as long
as any one stays out. and don't let any one
go to work until you all go to work, until
you all get your raise.
Then the march began, with the result
already stated.
