President Hami,Ps Remarks.

Mr.. Hamill was the first speaker
and he spoke specially of the work
in Keokuk, it's beginning and pro-
gress. He referred entertainingly to
the Inauguration of the work here in
limited quarters, in the upstairs OF.
building on Main street, when a
cheap and scant carpet, a table and
a few chairs were about all the be-
longings, and compared it to the con-
ditions of today, with large and
growing membership, fine S60,000
building, finely equipped, with harm
less games, a swimming pool. an up
to-date gymnasium with all the mod
ern appliances needed to interest the
young folks and give entertainment
to the older people. He spoke of the
great uplifting good the association
had accomplished in Keokuk and in
timated that the same results might
be realized at Hamilton if the matter
is taken up with the same real earn
estness and labor-of-iove spirit with
which Keokuk's people had acted, the
spirit of unity and harmony.
Mr.. Hamill's remarks were well re-
ceived and put considerable ginger in
to the movement.

Secretary Burns Remarks.

adding much fuel to the flame inaug-
.urated by President Hamill. Mr..
Burns took as his subject why the
Young Mems Christian Association
and the Purpose of Its Organization"
and said in part that the city holds
out the destinations of career, and
it is the goal towards which young
men move While the city is the
center of wealth. refinement and re-
ligious power, Ii is at the same time
the headquarters for the forces or
evil. The powers of evil are concen-
trated in the city as in no other
place. Young men from the country,
or with city homes, under modern
urban conditions are exposed to the
most seductive temptations. Without
restraint, surrounded by the fascina-
lions of pleasure, the temptations OF
vice, filled with the eager desire to
secure wealth, often separated from
friends, and Indifferent or hostile to
the church, many of them fall into
lives of dissipation and ruin.
at was under these conditions and
to meet this need that the Young
Mems Christian Association was
founded by Sir George Williams, in
London in June, 1874, and it was due
to the rise of the city that the assoc
citation spread throughout the coun-

Ohio REPUBLICANS

UNABLE TO AGREE UPON cANDl-
DATE FOR GuBERNATOR-
lAL OFFICE.

Columbus. Ohio, Aug. TO- With
nearly all Of the twenty-one members
of the republican state committee
here and with Taft and Roosevelt
leaders holding consefences. it was
apparent today that nothing like com
plete accord had been reached con-
corning the selection of a candidate
for governor in succession to Judge
ID. B. Dillon, who refused to accept
the nomination.
The decision Of the Roosevelt lead
ers to give their support to former
Attorney General Grant Denman took
the Taft leaders by surprise inasmuch
as Denman has been classed as a
Taft man and the Taft people are
making efforts to discover. as they
said whether there was mouse in

uled to meet this afternoon.

REGULATION OF SHIPPING HAS
BEEN DESIRED FOR MANY
YEARS.

Washington, Aug. 1O.-President
Taft told several callers today that
he expected to sign the Panama canal
bill passed by the senate yesterday
carrying provisions against the use Of
the canal by railroad-owned ships and
granting free tolls to American yes
sells. The president is said to have
declared that some of the provisions
OF the measure did not meet with his
views entirely but that he expected
to approve 1t.
Railroad and legal experts in con-
gress hold the view that the senate
has authorized highly important
extension of the power of the inter
state commerce commission in adopt
ing the Bourne amendment to the
Panama canal bill. The provision
would authorize the commission to
divorce competing railroads and
steamship lines, wherever they we're
found to operate to the detriment OF
tho public. and would extend powers
Of regulation over water routes. Such
control has long bcvn desirea ay the
but the water lines have
never conceded the right Of the conf
to supervise their business or
their relation with the railroads Lit
tie difficulty is expected in recon
Cling the differences between the
senate and the house on the bill.

resignation Of President Madero and
Of his cabinet" said the rebel COM
