HELMET AND COAT ARE
GIVEN CHIEF WALTON

George B. Ratterman of Lucky Tent No.
originated the idea of presenting Chief
Walton with the helmet and coat, and
Mr.. Ratterman made a short speech last
night.
''I can't make a speech said Mr. Rat
terman, but l simply want to emphasize
that whatever Chief Walton does will
be all right with the Maceabees. He is of
our guild, and we are all for him, no mat
ter what may happen in the future"
Chief Walton was in bad voice after the
presentation speeches. He was evidently
affected and that was what made his
voice bad" AS a matter of fact, he was
choked up to the top of his throat. He
said that he was no speaker, and here
his voice broke from emotion. Then he
somehow broke into an eloquent strain for
a man who had declared he could not
make a speech,
II am deeply grateful for this tribute"
said Chief Walton, land l only wish that
l had the tongue to express my appre-
citation. 1 know that every man present
is my personal friend. but how can
express my gratitude to you as citizens
of Birmingham. May God bless you every
one"
After the presentation a banquet was
given at the Ellis hotel, corner of Twen-
tieth street and Fourth avenue, to Chief
Walton and his men. The men were per-
mitted to attend In relays Of six each. G..
B. Ratterman was POSTMASTER, and the
responses were all appropriate.

Roosevelts Great Victory.

Washington August 29.-The following
communication from the Portuguese peace
league has been received at the state de-
partment and transmitted to Oyster Bay:
ITO his excellency, President of the
United States of America.
Mr.. President: The civilized world
greets you as a benefactor of humanity.
Your intervention in the Russo-Japanese
war merits the blessings of all those who
hope to terminate the era of violence
which unhappily still characterizes our
time. Your initiative in favoring the
newest peace conference represented new
tribute furnished by your great mind to
the principles of justice and peace, which
constitute the foundation of international
arbitration 1t is the eloquent afflrma-
ton of judicial state which will render
wars impossible in the furture.
"For this double reason the Portuguese
peace league ventures 20 transmit to your
excellencv hearty fluctuations on this
event which history Will record as one
of the most beneficial of our time.

PRESIDENT Is DELIGHTED
AT The GOOD NEWS
Continued from First Pase)

the civilized world generally, Will De
watched with profound interest.
At the conclusion of their labors in the
washington conference the plenipotenti-
aries of both Russia and Japan Will De
received by President Roosevelt, either at
Sycamore Hill or at the White House. Rt
that reception there probably will be
some notable utterances.
Throughout the late afternoon and even
ing messages of congratulation poured
II, ON the President from people both In
America and Europe. The great part he
has played In the bringing about OF the
success of the conference and in promot-
ing the interests of civilization is recog-
nzed throughout the world as Is indl-
Gated by the cordially and wide range
covered by the congra tulatory dispatches
None of these messages was mace pubic
TELEGRAM Received.
Late tonight President Roosevelt re-
ceived the following telegram from the
Russian ENJOYS:
"Portsmouth, N. H., August 20.
1.-THE President We have the honor TO
inform you that we have reached an
agreement with the plenipotentiaries OF
Japan To you history will award the
glory of having taken the generous in
itiative In bringing about this conference
whose labors will now probably result IN
bringing peace honorably to both sides.
"WITTE,
"ROSEN.'
To this telegram the President replied
as follows:
"Oyster Bay. August %,
MN White and Rosen, Portsmouth
N II.
Cannot too strongly express my con-
gratulations to you and to the entire CIV
ilized world upon the agreement reached
between you and the plenipotentiaries or
japan and upon the fact that thereby
a peace has been secured just and honora-
BILE to both sides.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
A similar response was sent by the
President in reply to the dispatch re-
ceived this afternoon from Baron Ko-
mura President Roosevelt said tonight
that In the near future he expected to
make a formal statement regarding the
work of the Washington conference. He
felt it would not be wise for him to issue
such a statement at this time.
It can be said, however, that the Presi-
dent regards his work incident to the
conference as quite as important from the
standpoint of humanity and civilization as
that in which any President of the United
States was ever engaged.
The President, it may be said author
itatvely, appealed for peace not only to
Emperor Nicholas, but also to the Japa-
nese government. AS has been explained
In these dispatches. these appeals, while
made directly to the emperors of the
warning powers, were transmitted also
to the ENJOYS of the respective govern
ments at Portsmouth in order to pre-
serve the form of diplomatic etiquette
and to avoid any possibility of giving
offense.
