Ice Cold Vice President Makes a Pa-
 triOtie Address.
 Dodge City, Kansas, Aug. 31.-Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks deliv- cred a patriotic address here today to several thousand old soldiers and others drawn from all parts of the State at the camp occupied by the vet erans attending the reunion of the Kan sas c. A. R.
 The vice president arrived this morn ing from Osawatomie accompanied by several Kansans, including Senators Long and Benson. He was met at the station by a delegation of old soldiers and escorted first to his hotel, where he shook hands with hundreds of vet erans and then to the camp where the speech making took place.
 The vice president was cheered lus- tiIy all along the line and at the camp much enthusiasm was displayed. Mir. Fairbanks won repeated cheers from his hearers by his references to the leading epochs in the civil war and the part that Kansas bore in that and in the Spanish American contest.
 Vice President Fairbanks said in part:
 We have daily an increasing proof of the value of the service of the un- ion soldier in the cause of the repub- lie. Its expanding power, it's growing grandeur, were only possible through the victory won by the heroic efforts of the mighty army of the union.
 "The Grand Army of the Republic has demonstrated full well that the great body of the reople may be called upon to fight its battles; that the American private citizea Is readily transformed into invincible fighting material The members of that army made forever glorious American arms, not only be- causa they achieved great victory, but because they won 1t in an ever lastingly righteous cause. They have the consciousness of mighty work well performed"
 Later in the day MT. Fairbanks left for Boise City, ldaho.

 San Francisco, Aug. 31.--Ftre broke out early this morning at the Fulton Iron Works.
 The fire department huEriedly re- sponded to the alarm but owing to the distance to be covered to reach the works, the flames gained great head way and for time the works, valued at over $2,000,000, were threatened with destruction.
 The fire which started in the foundry, an isolated building, was discovered at an early stage by the watchmen. It was early confined to that portion of the plant, although the pattern works were badly damaged. The foundry was completely destroyed before the fire was brought under control

Negro Business Mems League AbhOF
 Criminal Receman.
 Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 31.-The National Negro Business League today adopted resolutions defining its attitude on several important questions affecting the race in the United States.
 Declaring that the League does not concern itself with all the interests of the re the resolutions declare that 1t does not overlook the progress of the race religiously, morally. educationally and politically. It afflrms the belief that this race. like all others races, must depend for its progress in all di- rections upon It's own ability. Regard ing lynching the resolutions declare:
 we believe that the progress and happiness of the two races in the South are so woven that whatever helps the one helps the other, and whatever re- tards the progress of the one, retards the progress of the other. To this end we especially discourage and condemn the crime oe lynching; we discourage and condemn the criminal negro as we'll as the criminal of all races, as en- emies to our civilizations. and we ex- tend our thanks to the officials of the States that enforce the laws against lynchipg and evil-doers generally
