the annual sermon delivered by Dr.

The feature Of the occasion was the
address Of welcome by Judge Hugo

the 1000 persons present that with
faith in themselves, cooperative effort
In business and the trades, coupled
with the unexampled triumphs of the
race in the acquisition Of property and
education, which the future would see
grow and augment, no force Of circum-

withstand their onward march to the

Bennington, VT, Aug. S0.-An at
tack on Senator Penrose of Pennsyl.

Standard Oil company was made here
by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in
opening his Vermont campaign.
Speaking to crowd in Morgan park

CATION committee.
1--WE have been saying for some
time," said Colonel Roosevelt, that
was opposed by an alliance between
big business and politics and now
John D. Archbold OF the Standard Oil
company and Senator Penrose say it
Is true"
The colonel read form the testimony
Of Mr.. Archboh and Senator 0enrose
before the senate committee.
"As soon as these men had testi
fed" he said, they let Mr.. Archbold
90 to Europe and they scattered to
the four winds and refused to let me
testify. am as we'll satisfied by the
unconscious testimony for me OF
Messrs. Archbold and Penrose. Their
testimony, stripped Of its verbiage
reads not unlike some of the testimony
that appears in cases of police lprotec
ton to the underworld In our great
cities.
Colonel Says BIaokmaiI.
"Mr. Archbold and Senator Penrose
testified that Mr.. Bliss had attempted
to blackmail the Standard Oil com
pany. Mr.. Archbold didn't complain
because he was blackmailed. What
he complained of was that he didn't
get the goods. Penrose testified that
he tried to blackmail the Standard OIL
company by saying that II it didn't
contribute 1t might incur hostility In
certain quarters. AS the senator has
admitted what he has done he should
be thrown out Of the senate of the
United States. The man writes down
his own condemnation himself
The colonel said jones r. Garfield
had just told him that at the time the
Standard Oil contribution was sup
posed to have been made the govern

company for eighteen months. The
suit was brought, he said, and the re
suit of 1t was to show that whether OF

the Railroad Between the Principal
Seaport and the Capital City.

Washington, Aug. s0.-Four hun
dred bluejackets have landed at Corin-
to, Nicaragua. from the cruiser Cali
fornia and took charge Of policing the
railroad to Managua, the Nicaraguan
capital, according to advicss received
ut the state department.
Two thousand marines and sailors
will be modified in Nicaragua by next
week. A salutary effect upon th
Nicaraguan insurgents was the result
Of President Taft's order, although re-
scinded later, to the Tenth infantry at
Panama to proceed to Corinto.
Minister Weitzel reported that the
insurgents stayed under cover follow
ing the news of the threatened arrival
Of the American soldiers.
Rsopening Of the railroad between
Managua and Corinto will be the first
work Of the American bluejackets,
state department officials declared.
The men Of the California will be
scattered all along the railroad right
Of way to prevent molestation of trains
by the rebels.
Ample to Cope With Situation.
With the arrival early next week OF
more marines at Colon, officials here
believe the mobilized force Of 1000
Americans will be ample to cope with
the situation. The Tenth infantry,
however, has been ordered to hold
itself in readiness for renewal of or
ders transferring 1t to Nicaragua.
Isolated looting by insurgents con-
tinues to be reported from various
parts Of Nicaragua. No further &C.
rious Outrages upon Americans have
been reported, however.
Minister Cabarello Of the Nicaragra
embassy here is receiving private
cablegams reporting brigandage in
Granada and Leon.
The intention Of this country to
support the Diaz administration in
Nicaragua was clearly evinced when
an official audience was denied at the
state department to members of the
NiCaraguan junta, DR.. Angel. Ugarte
and General Altschul, revolutionary
sympathizers. They were told to make
any complaints or appeal through the
Nicaraguan minister.
