The SureSt Guarantee Lies in the
Maintenance of a Pow
erful Navy.
50 SAYS MR.. ROOSEVELT.
He Makes an Address to the Students
of the University of PennsyI-
vania During a CeIebra-
tion of Washington's
Birthday.

Philadelphia, Feb. 23-Commemo-
ration of Washington's birthday by
the University of Pennsylvania was
made notable by the fact that repre-
sentatives of three world powers par
ticipated in the exercises. The Uni
ted States, represented by President
Roosevelt; Germany, represented by
Baron Speck Won Sternburg, ambas-
sador to this country, who acted as
the representative of Emperor Will
liam, and Sir Henry Durand, the Brit
ish ambassador. The occasion was
marked by one of the most enthusi-
aGtic demonstrations ever witnessed
in the Academy of Music, where the
exercises were held. President Roose-
welt was the orator of the day, his
theme being Some Maxims of Wash
ington."
The degree of doctor of laws was
conferred upon the president, the Ger
man emperor, the British ambassador,
Rear Admiral Charles f. Clark, u. S.
N, United States Senator Philander
G. Knox and David d. Watson dis
tinguished lawyer of Pittsburg.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the poet and
author, received the degree of doctor
of letters, and upon Robert Simpson
Woodward. president of the Carnegie
institute, was conferred the degree of
doctor of science. Baron Speck Won
Sternburg received the degree for EN-
peror William.
When the president appeared on the
stage the band played Hail to the
Of 1
arose and cheered for nearly five min
utes. 1t was splendid ovation and
the president smiled his appreciation.
Bishop Whitaker opened the exer-
cises with prayer, which was followed
by the hymn Now Thank We All
Our God" sung by the audience.
AS each candidate was presented by
DR.. Mitchell for the degree he was
greeted by the students with lusty
"hoorays' and college cries.
A notable feature of the presidents
speech was the following: Gust at
present the best way in which we can
show that our loyalty to the teach
ings of Washington is a loyalty of the
heart and not of the lips only is to see
to it that the work of building up our
navy goes steadily on, and that at the
same time our stand for international
righteousness is clear and emphatic
Never since the beginning of our
country's history has the navy been
used in an unjust war. Never has it
failed to render great and sometimes
vital service to the republic. 1t has
not been too strong for our good,
though often not strong enough to
do all the good it should have done"

CONQUESTS IN COMMERCE.
Immense Increase in Exports Under
a Republican Admin
istration.

In the calendar year 1904. for the first
II months in our history, the United
States exports of manufactures passed
the S5OO,O0O,0 900 mark. They amounted
to $2Ol 600 600 in 1895, and SAL, 900, 600
in 1900, which was the high-water mark
until 1904, when they were $500 600 coo.
From present indications a further gain
will be made in 1905, though this is not
certain.
The heavy gain in exports of manu-
factures is pleasing for several reasons,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. 1t
shows superiority in the United States
not only in wealth of resources. but in
mechanical skill over the rest of the
great industrial nations. 1t will incite
renewed investments of foreign capital
in this country, which will have a ten
dency to still further expand the volume
of industries. A new reliance for the
maintenance of favorable trade balances
has now been furnished. At the outset
in our career as a nation agricultural
products furnished the whole sum of
our merchandise exports They still
furnish more than half of the entire vol
ume, but their proportion is steadily
declining. With the increase in the
shipments Of the products of our for
ests, mines and factories, which is under
way, the ratio of the exports of wheat,
corn, cotton and other products of the
farm and plantation will continue to de-
cline.
Of course, the great gains in the eX-
port of manufactured fabrics of the
various sorts is a triumph for the re-
publican policy Of protection to home
industries which will tell in favor of the
party. No election will come until the
congressional canvass in November of
next year, but the growth in the Amer
lean industrial system will not be for
gotten in that campaign. The country
is scoring magnificent industrial con-
quests abroad these days which will
make thousands of votes for the re-
publican party. Although the Amer
lean invasion" has not been mentioned
quite so COnspicuOusly by European
pub!icists recently as it was two or
three years ago, it is even more men
acing now than it was then. We are
capturing markets in England, Ger
many, France and the rest of Europe
from which the world until recent years
imagined we were excluded. and the
beginning of our victories in this direc-
tion has only been made. The jump
from S2dl 100000 in exports of manu-
factures in the middle of Cleyeland's
second term to $5O2 900 in Roose-
yelt's days is a fine tribute to the in
telligence and general sanity OF the re-
publican party.

Mr.. HITCHCOCK ANSWERS.
He Makes Quick Reply to Resolutions
Introduced in Congress by
Texas Man.

Washington, Feb. 23.--Another chap
ter in the Usage oil lease incident de
veloped yesterday when Represent
ative stephens, Of Texas, introduced
two resolutions in the house address
ing inquiries to the secretary of the
interior regarding the Foster lease Of
the oil and gas lands belonging to the
Usage Indians. One resolution calls
on the secretary to furnish the house
with a copy of the Foster lease and of
all sub-leases under that parent lease
and all correspondence on the subject.
The other resolution asks under
what act of congress the Foster lease
was made and under what authority
of law the sub-leases We're approved
The secretary is asked whether he did
not ratify the suitcase to the Almeda
company, and whether this was not
the first suitcase SO ratified, and
whether he had not previously refus-
ed to ratify sub-leases.
Secretary Hitchcock last night, re-
ferring to the Almeda company. said
he could net recall any such company.
81 know nobody connected with this
company" said he, "and the supposi-
ton that any officer is related to me
in any way is absurd. There has been
no change of opinion on my part in re-
gard to the Foster lease. The original
lease of 5000 acres, or the entire
Usage reservation, was a monopoly"

THE RATES ARE UNJUST.
er-State Commerce Commission
Decides a Case Involving Trans

Washington, Feb 24-The inter
state commerce commission yesterday
rendered its decision in the California
orange cases, brought by the South
ern California Fruit Exchange
and the Consolidated Forwarding Co.
against the Southern Pacific and the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail
way systems, in which it holds that
the defendant carriers are unlawfully
engaged in pooling the traffic in citrus
fruits originating in southern Califor-
MIA and carried by them and their
connections to eastern markets. that
the defendants by compelling the ship
pers to pay icing charges as establish
ed by the car lines made such charges
part of the cost of transportation and
subject to regulation under the law,
and that the rate on oranges in car
loads from southern California to
points on and east of the Missouri
river are unjust. The rate on lemons
is held to be reasonable and present
refrigerating charges are held to be
not unreasonable

BOGUS BILL SUBSTITUTED.
Who Stole Godfrey's Anti-PooI Sell
ing Bill from the LegisIa-
ture's Files?

Jefferson City Mo, Feb. 24.-The
original draft Of the Godfrey anti-pool
selling bill, the substitute for which
was adopted Tuesday by the house of
representatives has disappeared from
the office of the chief clerk AS the
substitute is based on the original bill
in the nature Of an amendment, the
action Of the house in passing the bill,
which prohibits all betting on horse
races in the state, becomes null and
leaves the breeders law just as it
stands on the statute books
Representative Haines, who has
been a strong advocate of the repeal
measure, introduced a resolution pro-
viding for the appointment of com
mittee to investigate the report that
the original draft of house bill No. IL
had disappeared from the files. This
was unanimously adopted the com
mittec appointed and instructed to re-
port during the afternoon session.
The investigating committee sub
mitted the following report:
"First-That spurious bill was
substituted for the original Godfrey
bill, which the house passed with
amendments made by the criminal
Jurisprudence committee
"Second-That the original Godfrey
bill was lost or stolen.
"ThiTd-That the name of the per-
son or persons responsible for the dis
appearance of the original of the pres
ent anti-pool selling bill are unknown
to the committee"
