A NOTABLE BANQUET
DISTINGUISHED SPEAKERS HEARl
 IN CINCINNATI.
of War Taft, President Tut tie of the Boston and Maine Railroad and Others are
 Listened to.

Cincinnati, May 26-The celebration of the twenty anniversary Of the Cincinnati Commercial Club closed to- night with a notable banquet where the speakers discussed vital questions of the day, each taking up that subject which long study or practical experl- ence gave him intimate knowledge. The cities whcih were represented at the banquet were Boston. Chicago. St. Louis and Cincinnati and each was repre- sented by speaker of national reputa- tion. Secretary of War Taft made the principal speech of the evening The other speakers were President Lucius Futile, of the Boston and Maine Ral- road: Franklin McVeagh of Chicago. Robert Moore of St Louis. a noted en- gineer and Melville E. Ingalls, of Gin cinnati the second railroad president on the list of speeches. President Voorheis of the local commercial club was toastmaster. Secretary of War w. H. Taft was announced to discuss Policy and Practice"
 MT. Taft on arising explained that his subject was not of his choosing and that therefore he would not be bound bv the subject, but would take up the Panama canal.
 "If the Panama canal were inside the territory of the United States" he said "of course all the material used on the canal could pay duty or be bought in the United States, but as the construc- tion of the canal is a number of days tourney from the tariff wall of the i-nited States it presents exactly the same case as is presented in the case of the Philippine islands Now If Congress wants to pay more than France is willing to pay then they are welcome to do so, but in the absence of a rule we feel we must carry out the rule that applies. That rule re- oulrcs that the prices and quality be- ing the same. we must buy American goods. In the absence of a rule we feel bound by our trust to build as cheaply as possible. We submitted the question to Congress on this line asking Congress to lay down rule If there is no rule we must build as a business man would build. Now there is no question of protection or free trade; it is merely our duty under the law as 1t stands. If the rule or law IS changed then we must change.
 He then spoke of the relation Of the Government to the railroads. "I can not but think" he said, the discussion which is now going on has had much wider scope than is necessary me question Is the passage of certain leg islation and the discussion is property narrowed by consideration of what that legislation is"
 He explained the present statute on interstate commerce, calling attention to it's references to unreasonable rates" and the position of the inter- state commerce commission on the mat ter He stated that the measure pro posed is a very moderate measure ana 1t is unfair to denounce it so severely as had been done.
 He believed the changes proposed oy the Esch-Townsend bill would result in good. He was willing to admit our debt to the railroads for building up

 The Louisville colonels gave Mike Finn's Toledo bunch a heartless shake yesterday-the Finnites now have the American Association cellar without struggle.
 Dominick Mullaney hurt his eye on the train Thursday night and was out of the game yesterday. but he will probably be all right today.
 Rill Brandt seems to be next" down in Dothan-he won another game for them yesterday-and at the same time got another home run.
 The Pelicans and the White Sox seem to be strengthening their hold on the lead of the Southern and American Leagues.
 Messrs Drew of Selma and Mcintyre of Brooklyn had very much the ap- pearance of being four fushes yester- day.
 That's all right, MT. Dygert, you sassy thing-Molesworth hit you any way.
 Now get together and make up for the Dygert shut-out of yesterday. The Pretzels were afflicted with severe attack of "Digertalis." 
 That man vitte of Selma looked like 2S-karat yesterday. Just look how that Macon aggrega- tion is climbing. | Pretty long trip from Memphis to New Orleans.

Sent After the "Man."

Baltimore Sun.
 The following story is told of the mate of an English bark now lying in port:
 The vessel was unloading in Norfolk about week ago, and the mate ordered one of the sailors, a negro, to execute an order. The negro was somewhat slow in carrying out the order and the mate cursed him roundly, as mates off, ten do To the mates astonishment. the negro, who was a new hand, stop ped short in his task, and said:
 Don't yo' talk ter me dat way, man. Y ain't in Englan' now. Dis CT cullud mans country, on derc's a man at Washington who looks out fo' us folks. |"
 The next moment the mate swept down upon the negro like tidal wave and seized him by the collar and the after speak of his trousers and threw him over the rail Into the water.
 As the negro came to the surface. spluttering and kicking, the mate roar ed at him from the deck above:
 You bldnkety- blank blank! Now, you just swim down the James River, turn to your right and go up the Po- tomac to Washington and tell that man ttcre all about it."

 ( .aklng is so well un- derstyvu by those charged with the responsibilities of railroad manage ment of reducing the number of those engaged in it are so great that I have yet to meet the well versed railroad official who believes 1t possible to se- lect any five or any twenty men however able, honest or expert, to whom could be safely entrusted the power to su- pervise or prescribe, either in whole or in part, the transportation rates of this great country, without risk of imminent and widespread danger to every commercial interest.
 q believe I voice, almost without dissent, railroad opinion in saying that it accepts the general principle that the governments relation to public transportation companies should be that of wise supervision to prevent, in so far as is practicable, every un- just practice either by them or against them. But that the making of tariffs for services to be rendered be left in the hands of those who must bear the cost of producing that service and as free as possible from the restraints of statute law, to the end that the ever fuctuating necessities of trade and commerce may be freely met and pro- vided for as they of necessity are in every other walk of life; having req sonable faith that the agencies that have been mainly instrumental in building up so successfully and won- derfully the worlds intercourse, cannot have so suddenly gone wrong in the performance of their most important functions as to warrant the nasty ap- plication of drastic and untried rem edies that now make the last state worse than the first"
 Franklin McVeagh, of Chicago, fol- lowed President Futile and spoke at times wittily and at times sarcastic cally concerning the Chicago strike, pointing out the mistakes of the union leaders, whom he characterized as un- fit.
 Robert Moore, of St. Louis. was the next speaker and spoke of the advance in civilization, industry and arts as revealed by the St. Louis exposition.
 Melville E. Ingalls,, chairman of the board of directors of the Big Four Railroad closed with "Auf Wieder- sehen."
