life were pointed to as evidence that the time was suspicious for the sweep ing of both old parties out at the ia l. elections. The keynote of all speech es was to make Chicago a socialist city patterned after Milwaukee. Mayor Seidel pointed out the way for the Chi cago socialists in his speech on How Workingmen Govern a City,
 He termed the commission form of government "a plutocratic form of power"
 In giving the Chicago socialists some practical advice on how to carry on their campaign so as to win next fall, Mayor Seidel said;
 Tt is not essential that the/ s'k- CTS be instructed In socialisr ,S . Socialism is phase of civilt AS of the heart. Talk to people in( SsS 5tgn language not in 'lsms' ar ~$S tsies Show the people that tn leSa 5n the boulevards in front of S mes of the rich are furnished tS,S politica graft, and then shoy SSS poor the streets with holes 1t of their homes"
 In closing Maye - @del urged his hearers to remems at the ia six be- fore the socialists |. Milwaukee is a difficult one inasmuch as it Is the parent of the movement. He begged all to suspend Judgment until they had been able at least to show their inten tions were good.

MANS BONES FOUND
 AFTER MANY YEARS

Baltimore. June 19-After a search cov- ering many years, the resting place or the bones of Charles A. Taylor a sol- dier of the Sixth Massachusetts regiment, reputed to have been the first man killed
 in the civil war, has been definitely To- cated, and on Tuesday the remains will be sent to Binghamton, N. r., to be later taken to Boston and inferred beneath the monument erected to the memory of Tay-
 Tor, and the three other soldiers who fell with him during the riot which marked the passage of their, regiment along Pratt street, this city, on April 19, 1861 After the riot Taylor's body was completely lost track of by his friends
 A monument having been erected in Boston to his memory and that of the others who were killed at the time, has brought about repeated efforts by Col D. F. Jones. who was in command of the regiment when the riot occurred, to find Taylor's burial place.
 Some time ago as last resort adver- tisements were inserted in local papers. one of which was seen by Samuel F. Glenn of this city, who pointed out Tay- Tors grave in the old Methodist church cemetery at Fayette street and Roney's Lane this city. A board at the head of the grave bears the time-dimmed inscrip- ton, "A Soldier of the Sixth Massachu- setts Regiment, Killed in Riot
 The inscription is considered ample iden- tification as the bodies of all three of the others killed at the time have long since been identified and finally buried in Boston ground

MAKES SHARP REPLY TO PROTEST SENT
 BY PRESIDENT MADRIZ

Secretary Knox immediately decided that the Madriz protest required the spe- eial notice of this government because the allegations made evidently were founded on errors as to the actual facts and the applicable principle of international law.
 "A reply was demanded an official statement issued today says, because the United States would hesitate to al low to pass unchallenged a statement from any source which might tend, to however slight degree. to place it's po- sition in a false light.
 The statement which Consul Olivares has been instructed to hand to Madriz and which, in accordance with Secretary Knoxs policy of keeping both factions informed of this governments attitude, has also been sent to the Estrada fac ton, Is as follows '@rhe policy of the United States remains as setforth in the Secretary of States letter of December 1, 1909. to Mir Rodriguez, then charge d affaires, whereby relations with the Zelaya government were broken off.
 That letter and statement of the con- sistent applications of the same policy to conditions as they arose were duly pub llshed.
 "As to the statements made in the tele- gram of pr. Madriz. to the President, the government of the United States took only the customary step of prohibit ing bombardment or fighting by either faction within the unfortihed and ungar- risoned commercial city of Bluefelds. thus protecting the preponderating Amer ican and other foreign interests just as the British commander has done at Grey town, where there are large British in- terests"

Washington June 19-Madriz has drawn from this government a sharp reply to the protest he made to President Taft, claiming that the United States had pro- longed the war in Nicaragua because it refused to allow the bombardment of Bluefields or to allow the Venus to main tain the blockade there.
 Consul Olivares at Managua has been furnished with a statement which the consul has been directed to hand to Madriz.
 It tersely observes that If any vex- ation of neutrality has occurred it was when the Venus sailed from New Orleans as an expedition of the Madriz faction.
 Madriz protested not to the United States alone, but to all the South Amer ican republics. The statements which he set forth in his telegrams are con- strued by the state department as noth- ing less than an effort to place in a false light the policy which the United States had adopted in dealing with the Nicaraguan affair.
 Some of the governments which re- ceived his protest have asked for infor- nation from Washington upon which to base their replies, and there has been an exchange of telegrams between Pres ident Diaz of Mexico and President Taft.
 President Diaz. 1t is explained, merely asked for information, and President Taft, replying in cordial manner. sent to the government at Mexico City the same statement which Consul Oivares has been directed to hand to Madriz.

INFLUENCE OF MAN
 UPON HIS FELLOWS

Cambridge. Mass, June 19.-The rela ton of man to his environment and the influence of one upon the other formed the general theme of the baccalaureate sermon delivered to the senior class of Harvard university in Appleton chapel to- day by President A. Lawrence Lowell. During the address President Lowell. speaking from the text, And Jacob was left alone and wrestled with the angel until the breaking of the day." said: We are told today that man is the product of the people among whom he lives. that he cannot escape from his environment.
 But on the other hand it is also true that man to some extent creates the world in which he lives; that is, it is the things from which he is conscious that constitute his environment.
 NO two men, however similar their state live in the same world. It is the use which we make of opportunity which really makes the possibilities of life.
 But there is another thing that makes difference in life. and that is the diff ference in the standards which men set for themselves.
 "The stander I'd which a man sets for himself regulates his interests, what he cares for and the career which he fol- lows; the measure of success which he will eventually attain.
 Destiny will not bless man. mark you. unless he has courage and endur- ance to wrestle with it until the breaking of the day

LAW WALKERS HAVE PROBLEM TO SOLVE

Albany, N. T., June 19.-The extraordi- nary session of the legislature called by Governor Hughes to take up again the vexed question of primary reform will convene tomorrow night. After a three weeks respite the legislators are com ing back to wrestle with a problem which the governor thinks should be settled this year.
 Governor Hughes still believes that the Hinman-Green bill should became the law of the state, but in view of the differ ence of opinion as to the advsability of applying the plan to 1tate officers he has announced his willingness to accept the Cobb bill. which provides for the di- rect nomination of congressman, senators, members of the assembly and co-officers.
 Predictions as to the outcome are at variance, but lively fight Is certain in as much as the assembly leaders have not changed in their attitude of opposi- tion to the Cobb bill There have been all sorts of guesses as to what will hap pen.
 Reports credit President Taft with hav- ing expressed the wish that a direct pri- mary measure be enacted, and the possi- bility of Theodore Roosevelt taking a hand in the situation has excited lively speculation.

Special Pri0ilege Must
 Be Fought By Democrats

know it. time for showdown by both political parties has come
 He said the democratic party should make a clean cut fight against the system of privilege which includes tariff for nc purpose other than for revenue alone. A tariff otherwise is a benefit to the privi- legged, and the tariff I advocate Is for the benefit of that commonly called the masses of the people, he said.
 Democracy is growing everywhere, said the speaker. Whether the demo- cratic party grows with it depends upon whether the party is really democratic. II cannot be democratic by representing a class or trucking to special interests The party must convince the people not about what 1t proposes to do For itself but what 1t can do for them. If the dem ocratic party stands sincerely for real democratic principles 1t will triumph for a large majority of the American people favor these principles at this time
