Veterans Who Fought for the Confed-
eracy Acted as Guard of Honor
During His Progress Through
The Streets.

Memphis Tenn. With bands
playing, children singing and en-
thusiastic men shouting the slogan
OF deep waterways, Memphis on Fri
day threw wide her gates to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, a score Of governors
and many other distinguished person
ages.
The president arrived on the steam
er Mississippi shortly after l o'clock
The bluffs overlooking the river were
packed with people who gave the
chief executive a warm welcome. AS
the steamer landed the whistles of all
the craft in the harbor We're sounded.
Immediately following the steamer
Mississippi was the steamer Alton,
carrying visiting governors and other
nOtableS.
When all had landed the PRESIDENT
was conducted to a carriage by Gov.
Patterson, of Tennessee, and Mayor
Malone, OF Memphis, and the most i'm
posing parade ever given here was
begun. The president was coutinu-
ously cheered throughout the march.
The city was a waving mass OF color,
not only along the line of parade. but
on many other streets as well When
the presidents carriage turned into
Main street he was salutcd by regi-
ment of Confederate veterans, who
thereafter acted as bodyguard The
president warmly greeted the war
riOrs of half century ago.
Arriving at the Auditorium rink,
where the deep waterways convention
is in session, President Roosevelt
alighted, chatted with several friends
and ascended the platform. The huge
structure filled up rapidly and, when
Gov. Patterson rose to present the
president, an immense aSsemblage
greeted HIM
President Roosevelt departed from
his printed speech in several in.
stances. Speaking of the Confeder-
ate guard of honor, he said it was
touching sight to see these old Con-
federate soldiers carrying the flag of
this great Union. II anyone wanted
TO know how they would fight for that
flag. let him ask the boys in blue how
the boys in gray fought against it, He
said that he was as much the presi-
dent of the south as of the north, and
was devoted to the south's interests
Speaking of Il deep water channel
from the gulf to the lakes, the presi-
dent said he favored rapid improve
ment of the Mississippi river.
Like Davy Crockett, the great Ten
nesseean, he said, - favor his motto,
Be sure you are right, then go ahead.
and this deep water problem is almost
up to the go ahead stage, but we
want to be sure about it."
The Panama canal he said, was get
ting on well, and the reason it is get
ting on so well is because we did not
allow ourselves to go off half-cocked."
When the canal has been completed.
he said, this nation would not ask
other governments kindly not TO
bother the canal" we would protect
it.

BUSINESS BULLETIN.
A Brisk Fall Trade Is Reported and
Manufacturers are Busy.

New York City.-R. G. Dun & Co. S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Interest centerS in fall retail trade
and results are all that could be de-
sired. There is no sectional difference
on this point, all leading cities report
ing a liberal distribution of seasonable
wearing apparel. supplementary or
ders are coming to wholesale houses.
and satisfactory results with autumn
goods encourage manufacturers to eX-
tend preparations for the next season
Mercantile collections have also i'm
proved, October payments being fairly
well met thus far, although rates for
commercial paper are abnormally
high.
Among manufacturers the most no.
table increase in orders is reported by
New England shoe shops, while there
is no idleness at cotton mills, and the
reduction of steel output is not signifi-
cant. In some lines there a sentiment
of conservatism that eliminates much
of the customary speculative business
and this is regarded with satisfaction
by those who appreciate the impor-
tanCe of moderation until the financial
pressure is reduced
No change has occurred in the iron
and steel industry. Few sales of pig
are recorded and some sections of the
market are slightly weaker, but as a
rule SteadineSS prevails

AUSTRIAN RAILRoA0ERs STRIKE.
Employees Policy of "Passive Resist.
ance" Results in Almost a
Complete Tieup.

Vienna, Austria-The strike of the
railroad employees of Austria for in
creased wages, which began October
|, is spreading and the serious incun
venience to the public is growing
every day. All passenger trains were
late Thursday and on some lines
freight traffic has been completely
suspended. The machine shop work
ers have joined the railroad men. The
authorities have offered further con
cessiOns, but the men do not appear
inclined to accept them.
This strike is being conducted ac
cording to the passive resistance
system" This consists of literal in.
terpretation and application of every
rule and regulation governing the
movement of freight and passenger
trains. These rules are so precise
cumbersome and impracticable that
when carried out to the letter, as the
men are now doing, the movement OF
trains is delayed more and more every
day until finally blocks occur and traf
fic comes to a standstill
The advantage of this system to the
men is that their attitude is blame
less; they are not striking, they are
not refusing to work, but they are
carrying out every order given them
in strict accordance with the regula
tions provided by the authorities
The roads affected are the entire gov
ernment system and the Northwest
ern line, covering together all of Aus
tria.

More, Too.

Considering the fact that in the first
month of our new system of making
competition easier by the reduction of
tariff duties through undervaluation,
imports of competitive articles have in.
creased nearly $12,0O0,000, is there ANY
real necessity for either tariff reduc-
tion or reciprocity by act of congress q?
Is it not fact that when we were
scared into allowing foreigners to ap.
praise their own merchandise we re-
vised and reciprocated about all we
can stand? And more, too, it will
probably turn out.

-ariff RIPPING Reasons.

Tie fact of an $S7,00O,OOO surplus
suggests to the New York Tribune
the conclusion that the Dingley sched-
ules have done their "ork in certain
lines and need revision BY a similar
process of reasoning the same con-
clusion might be reached regarding
other facts and conditions. The coun-
try is more prosperous than ever be
fore; the Dingley schedules have done
their work and need revision. Labor
is employed to an extent and at a rate
of wages hitherto unknown; the Ding
ley schedules have done their work
and need revision. Our foreign trade
has been doubled in ten years; the
Dingley schedules have done their
work and need revision. We have
yearly trade balance Of about half
billion dollars, which enables us to
keep cut of debt to foreign countries;
the Dingley schedules have done their
work and need revision. In its search
for tariff ripping reasons the Tribune
ought not to overlook these things.
