must have brought down the house. This
IS what that magazine says concerning
him:
THE happy event of the entire session
was an address by Mr.. Fisher S Harris
, of Salt Lake City, Utah, who received
/ unanimous consent to speak on the ad-
yantages Of that city as the meeting place
Tor the next annual convention.
Mr.. Harris, at the morning session on
/ the first day of the convention had raised
the point that the present constitution
prevented the adoption of the new con-
stltutlon and bylaws until the same had
been introduced and adopted by our con-
VentiOn, and ratified by the one succeed
ing. In support of his point he called at
tention TO article Il of the old constitu-
ton. After considerable and apparently
Well-fOunded. contention on his part. he
was finally ruled out of order by the
president.
Mr.. Harris began his admirable ad-
dress today with a remarkable apology
| for his stand at the time mentioned and
sarcastically referred TO the fact that he
believed that when the president had
called him to order he (the presidenD was
certainly out of order.
Having in this way secured the atten-
ton and the good wishes of all his audi
ence. he began, in most magnificent and
happy oratoTical effusion, to dwell on the
many advantages of the Mormon City
And when, at the close of each telling
description, he would stretch wide his
arms. lean forward his body and advanc-
ing a Few STRIDES up the aisle tat the head
of which, facing his audience, he stood
while delivering his addTess). and say in
tones so pleading-so piaintive, so appeal
ing, as to be almost heartTending-'Wo [
you come to Zion? the applause was deaf
ening.
AT the close of a half hours speech, at
times thrilling; always touching; never
lacking interest; terminated only by the
return of the telleTs ready to announce
the result of the voting; as he again
pleadingly called: Won't you come to
Zion, please, men and women were shout
ing and yelling and the enthusiasm and
demonstration were beyond adequate de-
scTiptiOn-equalled only perhaps by those
accorded the successful nominee at the
national convention of one of the larger
political parties. During his flights of
fancy-his vivid pictures of reality-his
"reminiscences Of the past, and his predic-
tons for the future of that Garden spot
of our west not the sound of a breath
disturbed the ear, not the movement of a
body met the eye in the vast oyerfilled
convention hall All was still. But at
the end of each one of his glowing ap-
peals full vent was given the pent up en-
thusiasm, and the big massive auditorium
building fairly shook with the reyerbera-
lions, as from an earthquake.
Hardly had the result of the election
been announced before the cries of 'Har-
ris, Harris, Harris. came from almost
every throat in the hall; but IL was SO
late that the announcement was made of

may follow. The question the delegates
think is likely to create a hostile atmos-
phere, endangering their reciprocal COM
merce to which the former friendly Teia-
tionS has opened vast field.
Although the sending of fleet by the
United States TO the Pacific coast cannot
be interpreted as a threat it is generally
admitted here that such action may give
rise to dangerous popular excitement
which the men at Washington might not
be able to control. The Spanish repre-
sentatives say that the United States
has now found a hard nut to crack. The
Russians remark that the predictions OF
Witte that the next war will be between
Japan and the United States is approach
ing realization. The English, French and
japanese delegates believe that both gov
ernments-at Washington and at Toxic
sincerely wish to reach an understanding
and will not be influenced by jingoism.
Some of the Germans here are of the
opinion that the situation may lead to an
AmeTican-GeTman entente, which, while
preventing the isolation of Germany,
would be the strongest compact against
British supremacy that could be made.

PEACE TALK IN PARIS.
Leaders Do Not Regard War as Pos.
sibIe,

Paris. July President Roosevelt's de-
cistOn to dispatch a fleet of warshipS to
the Pacific has led the more sensational
newspapers in France to jump at the con-
clusOn that the situation is more deli
cate than appears on the surface. This
view however, is absolutely repudiated In
responsible circles. where the utmost con-
fidence is expressed that existing or fu-
tuTe differences between the United
States and Japan will be amicably ad-
justed.
Nevertheless, the possibility of compli-
cations was foreseen when France, two
rendered her good offices with a view to
having Japan and the United States con-
clude an arbitration covering all ques-
lions relating to the Pacific.
In military circles, where the situation
is regarded from a different standpoint,
the dispatch of battleships is considered
an elementary measure of prudence, on
the ground that strategically ii will pro-
tect the United States against being
caught mapping and automatically it will
force Japan's hand, if that nation harboTs
aggressive designs.
A significant feature of the French com
ment is that the possibility of trouble Oc-
curing is considered only from the side
of Japan. The Soleil regards the San
Francisco incidents as a mere cloak to
traced to the determination of Japan to
enforce her commercial supremacy in
China and the Pacific.
For Japan, now or never" it adds. In
ten years, when the American fleets pre-
dominancy is interchangeable and the
Panama canal has been completed, it will
be too late"

Sullivan Against Ownership.

Mr. Sullivan sums up his observations
with the conclusion that in all but the
most poorly paid forms of labor, and for
tramWay employees, municipaliZatiOn has
not raised the wage OF improved working
conditions OF the employees above COndi-
lions in the private undertakings. With
respect to common, unorganized labor, y
however the investigators found a differ
ence- somewhat favorable to British mu-
nicipal employees. The report cites two
causes for this condition; first, that the
municipal laboTer is a picked man; and
second. that this class Of labor is capable
of eXeTting on city councils a combined
pressure which obtains for them better
terms than the employing councillors aC-
cord to the men they hire in their private
capacity for similar work.
In America the municipaliZed enter
pTises visited by our labor investigators
have been rich mines for significant facts
relating to politics rather than to labor
These facts are not usually among those
heretofore emphasized by the American
advocates of municipal ownership. The
testimony as To political rOttenness, root
and branch. in Syracuse, Allegheny and
Wheeling is conclusive. The municipal
plants examined in these cities, il is to be
remembered, were selected as models By
representative municipalities of the com
mission. Nor is the pOlitico-labOr situation

FISHER HHRRIS LOST
HIS ELOQUENT VOICE
BOOSTING THE TOWN
Returns to Salt Lake SpeeChesS but With Two Conventions
Under His Arm-Glowing Tribute to Utah'S
SpeIIbinder

Fisher Harris has lost his voice All
salt Lake viii mourn at this announce
ment. But Fisher lost his voice in a good
cause. He lost ii boosting Salt Lake. As
result the city will entertain the Ma
tional Credit Mems association in 1903 and
the National Travellers Protective assoc
citation in 1903.
The eloquence and magnetism of the
secretary of the Commercial club did it
all. Even if he has lost his voice and
the belief of all is that il is only a temper
airy loss, the citizens of the metropolis OF
the intermountain west will applaud his
endeavOr.
Fisher returned yesterday from his trip
through the east. He first visited Chicago,
where he attended the national conven-
ton of the Credit Mems association. There
were 600 credit men from all over the
United States in attendance, All were
determined that either Philadelphia, Pa,
or Oklahoma should be their next meet
ing place. But they did not reckon with
the Utah spellbindeT. Fisher Harris after
long dissertation on the superiority of
Zion, induced the convention to come here
next year. There will probably be 200 del
egates present 1t was a personal triumph
for the genial secretary of the Commercial
club.
The Utah delegation to the convention
consisted of Arthur Parsons, ]. @. Critch-
low, II, Van Dame, jr., Fisher Harris and
]. 7. Young.
Goes to Old Home.
Then Mr.. Harris went to Norfolk Va.
This is his old home and he met many of
his old-time friends. He attended the con-
ventiOn of the National Travellers Protec-
tive association and urged them to come
to Zion" Milwaukee had maintained
headquarters at the Virginia city for
seven days and had fought strenuOusly
for the convention. So had Ashville, n.
c., and Birmingham, Ala. The vote on
the convention city was taken at $50 In
the morning Before it was taken Fisher
Harris spoke. He spoke long and elo-
quently for Zion but finally his voice gave
way and he could speak no longer. The
convention, unwilling to overlook the gen
erous hospitality or the beer that made
Milwaukee famous voted to go there
next year, but TO make Salt Lake the
1903 convention city.
Satisfied with his oratorical achieve
ments, Fisher took rest. He went to
the jamestown exposition. Papers in the
east have slandered this show, but Fisher
says they are all wrong. He says that al
though ii has been argued that 1t is un-
completed, that within thirty days il will
be the most beautiful exhibition that the
people of the nation ever viewed.

What Attracts People.

''The exposition has everything that will
attract people. It has scenery, history,
and climate" said Mr.. Harris. 1T is not

spot" continued MIR. Harris. las q mat

and the people of the west are doing.
believe in drawing people here, making
them like the country because OF the nat
ural advantages which We have, and. thus
inducing them to make their homes here.
In Los Angeles fifteen out of twenty of
the leading enterprises are headed by men
who went there in order to enjoy the
scenery and the climate. They became
interested in the financial possibilities of
the place and have made it great city.
'I believe that by bringing representa-
tive conventions here and by treating them

Lake and the intermOuntain country than
all the advertising in eastern periodicals
and magazines that we can indulge in.
II we send even one member of the Cred
il Mems association away from here

vertisements in 100 magazines. This is my
honest belief and I intend to convey 1t

Great Naval Display.
Mr.. Harris, Fisher, as everybody calls
him, is exceptionally pleased with the
jamestown exposition He says that all
the buildings are permanent and tnat near
ly all the exhibits are in place. He says
1t is the most charming and attractive
show of its kind ever seen in America,
Notwithstanding the adverse newspaper
comments.
THE display of naval vessels" he says
has given the people of the interior a
more adequate conception of the size and
magnitude of the American navy than
they have had before" and in this
way he thinks that 1t Is a good thing in
asmuch the ordinary American citizen
has little or no conception of the navy
as ii now is.
AS said before, Fisher has lost his voice

not be permanent and that in short time

Reception to Rev. and Mrs.
David Crane at Methodist
Parsonage.

Never have a pastor and a pastor
wife been more heartily welcomed tc
Honolulu than were the Rev. David
and Mrs. Crane, of the Methodist
church, welcomed last night. Repre-.
sentatives of almost every congrega-
| ton in the city We're present at the
reception given at the Methodist par
| sonage in welcome to the new pastor
and his wife.
The house was beautifully decorated
with MALE and flowers. An immense
flag was draped across the front la
| mai. The archway between the two
| drawing-rooms was festooned with
| MALE and plumaria, the heavy fra
GRANGE of the latter permeating the
whole house.
In the receiving party, besides Rev.
and Mrs. Crane, were Rev. and Mrs
J. W. Wadman. with their two daugh-
ters who have just returned from
Ohio, where they have been at college.
The guests were presented by Mr..
Wadman. Those who met the new
pastor and his wife included almost
every member of the congregation of
the First Methodist church, besides
large representations from the congre>
cations of Central Union, st. Andrews
cathedral, St. Clements, st. Eliza
beth's, and the Christian church. Rev.
DR.. Doremus Scudder, the new pastor
of Central Union church, and his wife,
who have just returned from the East,
and Rev. and Mrs. A. c. McKeeye.,,
who have newly come to the Chris
tan church, Rev. w. E. Potwine and
Mrs. Potwine of St. Elizabeth's, and
Rev. A. G. Hall of Iolani College. were
among those present.
Following the presentation of the
guests to Rev. and Mrs. Crane, there
was an address of welcome on behalf
of the congregation by Richard Fl.
Trent, in which there were a number
of illusions to 4our peculiar condi-
TONS" to the problems the churches
have to meet, to the good feeling and
habit of cooperation that exists be-
tween the various religious organiza-
tons of the city. There were also
addresses by DR. Scudder and others,
and a feeling response by the new
pastor on his own behalf and that of
his good wife.
There was a delightful program of
music, including songs by Mrs. Mac
kali, Mrs. Hare and others.
During the evening refreshments
We're served. The attendance com-
pletely filled the house and the lanais.
