rious guests he expected were beginning
to arriv.
Bhe door was hardly ajar ere several
men burst into the inn, thrusting each
other aside in their haste, as If afraid
of being followed. These men were seven
or eight in number, and it was easy to
see they were officers, in spite of the pre-
caution of some among them who had put
on civilian attire.
They laughed and TESTED loudly. The
door of the rancho had been left ajar by
theIlandlord, who probably thought it I'M

each of the visitors. When Don Sirven

The officers then turned round on the
benches and thus found themselves face
to face with the colonel, who had STA
toned himself in the middle of the room.

and forms long square, with a wall of

answered, with a grimace, 81 think that

The landlord, forgetting that he had de-
clared few moments previously that he
had nothing in the house, instantly COW
cred the table with provisions, which, if
not particularly delicate, were sufficiently
appetizing. When their hunger was at
length appeased, the traveller who seemed
to speak for both thrust away his plate
and addressed the landlord, who was mod

said; how many lads have you to help

The host bowed respectfully and I'M
mediately left the room.
II fancy, Curumilla," the traveller then
said to his companion, that our affairs

The other replied with silent nod of
assent. The travellers rose; in a twink

moved all signs of supper, and then hid
his guests behind an old-fashioned coun-

the people as a whole over these great corporations. Most emphatically we should do full justice to them; but in return we should exact justice from them to the public. Some of them have become so habituated to disregarding everything but their own wishes and interests that the effort to establish a proper supervision over them has aroused. on their part curieusly un- reasonable antagonism. Their spokes- men do not seem to be aware that in what we have been trying to do we have not been improperly radical; us- ing the word ln it's right sense, we have been conservative We have merely
 taken the first steps in a policy which must be permanent if our Democratic
 institutions are to endure; while, as
 matter of course, we must also keep
 ever in mind that it is exactly as in
 furious to true democracy to inflict, as tameyi to suffer. wrong. We can no
 more tolerate injustice to the railroads than injustice by them, one course IS as immoral and as fundamentally mis- chievous and injurious to the people as the other.
 In the matter of supervision or the great railway corporations we are act ing as all civilized governments have already acted or are on the point of acting. The unrestricted issue of rail- way securities without any supervision, and under circumstances which often
 result in the gravest scandal, should
 not be permitted, and only by gov
 ernmental action can it be prevented.
 It is already thus prevented in Eng
 land and Germany, for instance. In
 England the first Royal Commission of Railways, of which that great par llamentary and popular leader William
 Ewart Gladstone, was chairman, set forth as fundamental the very princi- ples which here have at last been en- acted into law, or which, as firmly believe, will speedily be enacted. or course, in any movement like this in
 which we are now engaged, in any l movement looking to the regulation of vast corporate wealth engaged in in- | terstate business, and to the cutting out of all abuses connected herewith, | there will at times be suffering in which, unfortunately, many innocent

freight. The more farseeing railroad men, am glad to tell you, realize this fact, and many of them have become earnest advocates of the improve ment of the Mississippi, so that 1t may become sort of inland seaboard, ex- tending from the Gulf far into the in- terior, and I haope ultimately to the Great Lakes. An investigation of the proposed Lakes-to-the-G Gulf deep wa terway is now in progress under an appropriation of the last congress. We shall await It's results with the keenest interest. The decision is ob- viously of capital importance to our internal development and scarcely less so in relation to external com merce.
 This is but one of the many pro- jeets which 1t Is time to consider, al- though most important one. Plans for the improvement of our inland navigation may fairly begin with our greatest river and its chief trlbuta- ries, but they can not end there. The lands which the Columbia drains in- clude vast area of rich grain fields anl fruit lands, much of which Is not easily reached by railways. The re- moval of Instructions in the Columbia and It's chief tributaries would open to navigation and inexpensive freight transportation fully 2,000 miles of channel. The Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers with their tidal open- ings into San Francisco Bay are part ly navigable now. Their navigation should be maintained and improved, so as to open the marvelously rich valley of California to inexpensive traffic, in order to facilitate both rate regulation and the control of the wa ters for other purposes. And many other rivers of the United States de- mand improvement, so as better to meet the requirements of increasing production from the soil, increasing manufacture, and rapidly growing population.
 While thus the improvement of in- land navigation Is vital problem, there are other questions of no less consequence connected with our wa terways. One of these relates to the purity of waters used for the supply of towns and cities, to the prevention of pollution by manufacturing and other industries, and to the protection of drainage areas from soil wash through forest covering or judlcious cultivation With our constantly in- creasing population this question be- comes more and more pressing, be- cause the health and safety of great bodies of citizens are directly in. volved.
 Another important group of ques- tions concerns the irrigation of arit

Memphis, Tenn, Oct 4.-Upon arriv- ing here at 12:5o to-day, President Roosevelt and party were met by an enormous crowd and the streets were adorned with a lavish display of bunting. On the presidents arrival he was taken in charge by a reception committee and driven through the principal business and residence thor oughfares to the Auditorium Rink, to address the delegates to the Water ways convention, the last address he will make before going to Louisiana.
 The President spoke of the import ance of the Akes-to-the-Gulf deep water proposition and said that the re-

He advo- eated also the increase of the army and the regulation of the railroads under the interstate commerce law.
 The President spoke in part as fol- lows.
 The valley of the Mississippi Is politically and commercially more im- portant than any other valley on the face of the globe. Here more than anywhere else will be determined the future of the United States and in- deed of the whole western world; and the type of civilization reached in this mighty valley in this vast stretch of country lying between the Alleghenies and the Rockies, the Great Lakes and the Gulf will largely fix the type of civilization for the whole Western Hemisphere Already, as our history shows. the west has determined our national political development, and the fundamental principle of present American politics, political equality, was originally a western idea.
 The industries developed under the stimulus of the railroads are for the most part permanent industries, and therefore they form the basis for fu- ture development. But the railroads hage shown that they alone can not meet the demands of the country for transportation, and where this is true the rivers should begin to sup plement the railroads, to the benefit of both, by relieving, them of certain of the less profitable classes of
