ORATORICAL GEM.
Famous Speech Delivered by Lincoln
At Gettysburg.

The following immortal address nf
Abraham Lincoln was delivered at tina
dedication Of the national cemetery at
Gettysburg OH November 10, 1863:
fathers brought forth upon this conti-
nent a new nation, conceived in liberty
and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil
war, testing whether that nation. or
any nation so conceived and so dedi-
Gated can long endure. We are met
on a great battlefield of that war. We
have come to dedicate portion of ths.
field as final resting place for those
who here gave their lives that thn:
ration might live. 1t is altogether IT.
ting and proper that We should do this.
But in a larger sense we cannot dedi-
cate, we cannot consecrate. we cannot
hallow, this ground. The brave men,
living and dead, who struggled here
nave COnSeCTaLeQ IL 1Ar ABOVE our
power to add or detract. The world
will little note nor long remember what
we say here, but It can never forget
what they did here. It is for us,
the living. rather, to be dedicated here
to the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly ad-
vanced. 1t is rather for US to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining
before us-that from these. honorel
dead we take increased devotion TO
that cause for which they gave the las:
full measure Of devotion; that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in vain; that this ma
ton, under God, shall have new birth
Of freedom, and that government Of
the people, by the people and for the
people shall not perish from the earth.

HORTICULTURAL BOARD PLANS
TO NAME AN INSPECTOR OF
ORCHARDS FOR STATE.
EXPERT IS CONSIDERED
In Order to Guard Against Spread Of
Pests Throughout the Fruit Dis
tricts, II Has Been Decided to Sc
lect Competent Man to Superin-
tend This Work-Offices Offered.

owing to the governors veto of
Senate Bill No. 113, which provided
for the appointment of a state horti-
cultural commissioner, it was feared
that the lack of a suitable head to the
orchard inspection in the state might
result disastrously, but the action
which the state board of horticulture
has taken in the matter has greatly
relieved the situation and gives prom
Use of a good system of inspection
during the coming year The bill is
one for which the last meeting OF
the horticultural society asked, and
which was indorsed by practically all
of the farmers institutes in the state
was one providing for the appoint
ment of man with the title Of COM
missioner of horticulture, who was to
take charge Of all the orchard inspec-
ton in the state, giving him much Of
the authority which is at present held
by the board of horticulture. When
the bill was presented to the govern
or, however, it was found that an
omission had been made which prac-
ticaly annulled it, and for that rea-
son it was vetoed. thus leaving things
in the same condition as they were
last year.
The board, however, realizing that
something ought to be done, hit upon
a plan and they will appoint an ex-
pert specialist as inspector at large,
giving him practically the same pow
er as 1t was planned originally TO
give the commissioner. No one has
been definitely selected as yet, but the
| board is in communication at pres
ent with one Of the best men in the
country in fact the same man who II
was hoped would be given the posi-
ton Of commissioner and II he viii
accept the position he will take ur
| his duties at once. If II Is impossible
to obtain this man some one else VIII
be found, but at any rate good mar
will be placed in charge. The MIS-
soula chamber of commerce, realiZ'
] ing the Importance of the plan, Of
fered to furnish office rooms for th'
inspector and the board has accepted
the offer which means that the In
spector will have his headquarters II
| Missoula. This plan will help mucl
toward relieving what seemed to o'
an inevitable trouble and II carried
out will serve the purpose OF bill
creating a commissioner with tn
same powers.

ROUS|NG RECEPTION
IS RENDERED
TAFT
PRESIDENT is GUEST OF HONOR
AT DINNER GIVEN BY GRAD
YATES OF YALE.

New York, March 19.-With songs
of the football field and the boat race
course, with deafening cheer and a
rousing chorus of Here's to Good Old
Yale, Drink Her Down. President
Taft was greeted tonight as the first
Yale president of the United States
by more than 1000 graduates of the
university. The graduates came from
all over the country. They ranged
from silvery haired old men whose
degrees bear the date of 1853 down to
the youths who left their alma mater
only last June.
The dinner was served at the Wal
dorf-Astoria. The immense ball room
was decorated with lavish wealth of
flowers. From the ceiling countless
chains of pink blooms fell in graceful
loops. The balcony guards and the
side walls were entwined with roses.
The speakers table, at which Pres-
dent Taft sat with President Hadley
of Yale and other distinguished grad
yates, was canopied with representa-
tions of the emblem of Yale. Back OF
the table was huge drop curtain
bearing a painting Of the old brick
| row, which was a reality in President
Taft's student days, but which is now
mostly memory.
| In front Of the curtain and back OF
| the speakers was a replica of the ole
Yale fence. The representation of the
old barrier was complete down to thu
last detail. Many of the initials, in
Guiding the wv. H. ~" of Mr.. Taf
and the "A. T. H." of President Had
ley, were faithfully reproduced.
An orchestra played Yale anthem
throughout the evening and the sing
ing of the rollicking songs was led b!
glee club of 32 graduates seated a
a center table.
President Taft was probably thu
happiest man at the dinner, whicl
was given entirely in his honor. III
was not hailed as president, however
but as "Bill''-the salutation whicl
punctuated the cheering as he en-
| tered.
The only speeches of the evening
were made by President Taft an
President Hadley. The latter spok
first, responding to the toast, Meat
the EIms," while the former speakin
entirely extemporaneously, had 70
his subject, For God, for Countr
and for Yale"
There were other informal speaker!
Among the guests at the dinner wer
Henry w. Taft and Horace D. Taf
brothers of the president.

SHIPPED TO AMERICA

Palermo, March 19.-Draped with
the stars and stripes and covered with
flowers the coffin containing the body
of Joseph Petrosino, head of the Ital-
ian branch of the New York detective
service, was placed on board the
steamer Savonia tonight for convey
ance to New York. The Slavonia
will sail March 23, and should arrive
in New York early in April.
Ire fact that Palermo is full of po-
lice seeking Petrosinos siayers has
caused the Malta to give demon
stration of it's powers Today mem
bers of the band attacked a customs
guard and robbed him of his revolver
and purse, while at another point
they set fire to a house, the owners
of which had refused to reply tt

GENERAL CONFERENCE.
CONSIDERED
PROPOSAL is MADE TO HAVE
SOUTH AMERICAN PRESl-
DENTS HOLD MEETING.

Washington, March 19.-Suggestions
of a conference of Central American
presidents with the idea of removing
all possible causes for Intervention by
the United States and Mexico, con-
tained in dispatches from the city OF
Mexico, caused discussion at the state
department today. 1t Is known the
suggestion came from one of the
Central American republics, and that
1t Mould be approved by both the
United States ard Mexico.
Information received here makes it
plain that while no actual hostilities
have broken out in Central America,
there continues a fear of outbreaks
which the United States and Mexico
agree should be removed. Both coun-
tries are quietly maneuvering to pre-
vent, if possible, any warlike mani
festations.
The Mexican gunboat General Guer-
rero, now at Salina Cruz, is preparing
to go to Central American ports.

Philipsburg, March :9.-The Howell
murder case was given to the jury at
9 o'clock last night, and at 1 o'clock
today it reached verdict of mot
guilty by reason of insanity"
The testimony concluded with the
evidence of DR.. Powers and Dr. Casey
Of Philipsburg, expert witnesses for
the state, both of whom gave it as
their opinion, based upon hypothet-
ical question and on hearing the tes-
timony, that they believed the defen-
dant to have been sane at the time
of the homicide. DR.. Casey took the
position that the peculiar actions of
the defendant, which he summarized
under the comprehensive term of
observation-disclosures" were not such as
to warrant an inference of insanity,
provided that there were other cir
cumstances shown sufficient to ex-
plain such actions, and he expressed
the opinion that the defendants in
factuation for the deceased, combined
with his increased consumption of
liquor at the time afforded sufficient
explanation of his "absentminded-
| ness
Yesterday was consumed in the ar
gung, settling and giving of the in
| structions and the argument to the
jury. The court gave an instruction
on manslaughter which was opposed
by the attorney for the defendant,
the latter claiming that the offense
was murder in the first degree or
nothing.
Judge Durfee opened for the state,
1 and he argued that if any of the jury
thought the defendant was justified
| in his act by reason of the deceased
having gotten his money away from
| him. they must consider whether the
deceased had a right to live, and il
she had such right, then the defen-
dant had no right to kill her Mr.
haywood for the defendant empha-
sized the fact Of the great number OF
witnesses who had expressed the opin
ion that the defendant was insane
and urged the mysterious nature o.
the problem of insanity, in connection
with the testimony, as sufficient tt
raise a reasonable doubt in the minds
of the jury. The county attorney, w
e. Moore, sought to point out that thu
testimony of many of the witnesses
as to insanity was trifling and unim
portant, and argued that if the theor!
of the defense was tenable that th
defendant was insane by reason of th
injury to his skull, received in 1901
and consequent pressure on the brain
that the defendant ought now to b
} more crazy than ever, whereas the in
dications were that he is now per
fectly sane.

PREMIER FACES DEPUTIES
CIemenceau and His Colleagues 20
Before Chamber and Secure Indorse-
ment of the Attitude Assumed and
Maintained by Them in Relation to
the Striking Postal Employees.

Paris, March 19.-Premier Clemen-
ceau with his colleagues faced the
strike interpretations in the champer OF
deputies today determined to secure
Endorsement Of the governments posi-
ton in the premises or retire from OF
flee. They won, for the chamber re-
iected by a vote Of 354 to 1873 a reso-
luton providing for commission to
investigate the causes of the strike.
The socialists centered their assaults
upon M. Simyan, under secretary OF
posts and telegraphs, but they also re-
nroached Premier Clemenceau with
having shifted his position since ne
had reached the other side of the
barricade."
The conservatives declared the gov
ernment was reaping only what 1t had
sown. They pointed out that the gov
ernment for years had encouraged the
state employees to form associations
and that M. Viviani, minister of labor
and M. Simyan had voted under the
Dupuy ministry to recognize the right
Of the postmen to strike.
Denies Charges.
M. Simyan in his defense denied the
charges of favoritism which he 1c-
clared had been brought by the en-
ployes because he had refused to &C
cept their recommendations He said
the leaders for months had been pre-
pairing to strike. Tumult followed
when the under secretary declared tina,
the principal leaders of the strike had
been indorsed by from 10 to Is mem
bers of the chamber Of deputies.
"Name them," shouted the members
of the right, in high glee.
"Subra, president of the General AS
sociation of Postal Telegraph EN-
ployes, has nine Endorsements" he re
piled.
Name them," repeated the right
but when M. Simyan turned in tina
direction and shouted that the indors
ers came from the right as we'll al
from the left there was no further In
sistence that names be mentioned.
Would Mean Anarchy.
After an hour of oratory, Ministe
of Public Works Barthou mounte
the tribune and painted the gravit
of the situation and the impossibilit
of the government yielding to the em
ployes. The minister said the govern
ment was always willing to discus
the grievances of the employees, bu
that to treat with them upon foot
ing of equality would be the com
mencement of administrative anarch!
Nevertheless, he indicated that 1t wa
the governments desire to leave tn
door open for the employees to retur
to duty.
Much applause greeted M. Barthou
speech, which was ordered placarde
throughout France.

FOR BEAR WITH PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS TO BILL.
|DUTYON LUMBER OPPOSED
General Disposition Among Congress
men Is to Eliminate Academic Dis
cussion and Consider the Measure
Under the Five Minute Rule-Both
Sides Lining Up for the Fray

Washington, March 19.-There Is a
general disposition among the house
members to eliminate as far as nos
sible any academic discussion of the
tariff Members on both sides are de-
sirous of having as little general de-
bate as possible and as much time as
practicable for consideration of the bill
under the five minute rule forthwith.
When the Dingley bill was before
congress, less than a week was devot-
ed in the house to the discussion of
the bill under the five minute rule,
| and while 1t is likely that rule win
| be brought in to limit the time for
considering amendments, it Is believed,
| sufficient time will be allowed for
consideration of the whole bill under
the five minute rule.
Members on both sides are lining
| up and preparing to submit amend
ments in which their constituents are
interested The main contention will
be over the cut in the lumber duty.
| 1t is understood that the southern rep
| resentatives are almost unanimous in
| favor of retaining the present duty Of
So per 1000 feet. They will have the
/
northwest and the Pacific coast states.
Hides and leather manufacturers
also will be the subject of considerable
| debate. The democrats will fight to
have shoes and other products Of
leather reduced at least or 10 per
cent more and to have hides retained
on the free list.
| Reduction on Shoes.
On boots and shoes, according to
1.-the new tariff, will be levied a duty
of Is per cent ad valorem. While
this is reduction Of 10 per cent
ad valorem, it is contended by those
who favor further reductions that the
shoe men have admitted that they
could stand reduction OF to 10 per
cent more if hides were admitted
free. Western representatives will
make an earnest effort to have a duty
of Is per cent again placed on hides.
The Louisiana delegation met today
to consider the effect that the free
trade provision for the Philippines
would have on the rice industry.

There has been very little criticism
of the metal schedule, but 1t Is claimed
that duty on wrought and cast scraI

In the Payne bill scrap iron Is covered
