COMMENTS VARY GREATLY Conclusions Reached by Ex-President Approved by Conservatives and Dis- ! puted by Liberals, but All Agree That a Guest of the Country Ought to Refrain From Criticising Her Policies. London, June 2—Mr. Roosevelt's speech at Guild hall continues to be the sensation of the newspapers throughout the country. The editorial comments upon his startling utterances concerning British Tule in Egypt were influenced as a rule by partisanship. The Conservative press defends the conclusions drawn by the American statesman, while the Liberal papers oppose his deductions with equal seriousness. But outside the questions of fact set forth the newspapers almost without éxception challenge the propriety of a foreign guest of the city criticising the colonial policy of the empire. Of the comments of the Conserva- tive press the following are samples: The Globe: “It was not the time nor the place, nor was the ex-presi- dent the person to display this particu- lar form of interest in the business of his hosts.” The Pall Mall Gazette: “The un- conventional is justified only by suc- cess. It he prefers realities to the proprieties where vital interests are concerned so does the judgment of the British people.” The Standar “That he should lay hands on one- of the nation’s private and particular political subjects seemed a social crime not far from sacrilege, but in reading the speech carefully there is found nothing of which to complain.” Of the Libera]l papers the West- minster Gazette questions the neces- sity and disagrees with the conclu- sions of the speech. The Star says that “Mr. Roosevelt should learn that he is not exempt from the customs of civilized nations.” SAYS WE SHOULD RESENT IT George F. Peabody Calls Roosevelt's Speech “Reckless Jingoism.” Saratoga, N. Y., June 2.—George Foster Peabody, the banker, who has been a prominent figure in the coun- cils of the Democratic party, has is- sued a statement here declaring that the Roosevelt speech in London was a “plece of. reckless jingoism which should be promptly repudiated by the American people.” The statement proposes the holding of mass meetings in New York and other.large cities “for the purpose of showing that the people of the United States are not in sympatny with this suggested American interference with other people” and “to voice our re- spect for other governments and our adherence to the principles of Wash- ington’s immortal farewell address.” WIND CAUSES HEAVY LOSS Wichita, Kan., Suffers Damage Esti- mated at $150,000. ‘Wichita, Kan., June 2—A heavy || wind storm caused damage here esti- mated at $150,000. The residence of W. J.

FREEMAN KNOWLES IS DEAD Former Deadwood Congressman Suc- cumbs to Pneumonia. Deadwood, S. D., June 2.—Pneume- nia resulted in the death here of Free- man Knowles, former congressman and one of the. most widely known Socialists in- the state.

Seattle, Wash., June 2.—Officials of companies operating steamships to Alaska points on the Bering sea esti- mate that 15,000 people will leave Se- attle for Nome and St. Michaels on the early June sailings, drawn to the Far North by the reports of rich dis- coverles in the Iditarod gold fields. Browne Indictment Stands. Chicago, June 2.—Judge McSurely has denied the motion to quash the indictment against State Representa- tive Lee O’Neil Browne.

Rome, June 2.—The meeting of the consistory, which was to have named a number of new cardinals, has been postponed by the pope until the end of the year. OLD PARTIES ARE DOOMED Victor L. Berger Prediots Success for 8acinlism. New York, June 2.—Victor L. Berg. er, who engineered the campaign which made Emil Seidel, the Socialist- Democrat, mayor of Miiwaukee, is in New York for a series of lectures on “Socialism.” He declares that the Soclalists expect to carry both New York and Chicago and thinks that both the old parties doomie “The Republicans are split ‘and the Democral Taways 1 e “Way he puts It 1o a long statement given out to New Yorkers. “The first important Soclalist vie. tory in a large American city,” he continues, ‘‘means the sweep of the popular tide toward the radical doc- trines and the end of the two impor- tant political parties.” MAY GAUSE TROUBLE AT WASHINGTON Swedish Minister Said to Have Mixed in Politics. Washington, June 2.—It Herman de Lagercrantz, the Swedish minister to the United States, toasted Mayor Gay- nor at a banquet in New York as tle future president of the United States as the newspapers report, he may ge into hot water with the state depari ment. It is an invariable rule of diplomac: that a foreign representative shall no mix in the politics of the country t« which he is accredited. Perhaps enthused by the occasion, when every speaker was saying nice things about Mr. Gaynor, the minister found some difficulty in expressing his admiration in his usual diplomatic manner, for he closed his remarks with the following: “We have heard from our present president, we have heard from our past president and tonight you have heard from your future president.” Strike Stops Navigation. Cleveland, -June 2.—Practically all navigation ‘n the Cleveland harbor ceased when the 100 tugmen employed by the Great Lakes Towing company quit work after their demand for a twelve-bour working day had been re- fused. YOTED DOWN BY CLOSE MARGIN La Follette’s Plan for Val- uation of Railroeads. MAJORITY OF FIVE AGAINST Twenty-five Senators, Fifteen Demo- crats and Ten Republicans, Support the Proposal, While Thirty Repub- licans Line Up in Opposition—Au- thor of Amendment Puts All Mem- bers on Record. Washington, June 2.—Senator La Follette’s amendment to the adminis- tration railroad bill to provide for the ascertainment of the physical valua- tion of the property of railroads en- gaged in interstate commerce was de- feated in the senate by a vote of 25 to 30. It was expected that the disposi- tion of this amendment would permit a final vote on the bill before adjourn- ment. By inference the Wisconsin senator gave notice that he would undertake to have members held to account for their votes on this provision. This was contained in a demand for the publication not only of the official roll call but the pairs and the names of the senators who did not vote and were not paired. The thirty votes against the provi- sion were cast by Republicans. Of the twenty-five affirmative votes fifteen were cast by Democrats and ten by Republicans. The Republicans who voted for the amendment were:_ Messrs. Borah, Bristow, Brown, Clapp, Crawford, -Dixon, Dolliver, Gamble, Jones and La ‘| Follette. 7 . The Democrats who voted for it were: Messrs, Bacon,* Balley, Clay, Fletcher, Frazler, Gore, Newlands, Overman, Owen, Paynter, Purcell, Rayner, Stmmons, Stone and Taylor. Those absent and not paired were: Burkett, Beveridge and Bourne, Re- publicans, and Bankhead, Hughes, McEnery and Smith (Md.), Democrats. The defeat of the La Follette pro- vision was followed by the presenta- tion of one by Senator Simmons, re- .quiring such physical valuation of the property involved in cases before the interstate commerce commission. He spoke in support of the amendment. The Simmons amendment was de- feated by a vote’of 28 to 30. Senators Beveridge, Bourne and Hughes, who were not present when the vote was taken on the La Fol- lette amendment, voted for the Sim- mons provision. Senator Nelson, who voted against the La Follette pro- vision, voted for the Simmons amend- | ment and Senator Jones, who voted for the La Follette amendment, voted against the Simmons amendment. CAUSES GREAT . SENSATION Harmless Object Thrown at Eldest & Son of Kaiser. Berlin, June 2.—There was a com- motion among the royal party return- ing from tbe joint annual review of the Berlin and Potsdam garrisons at Tempelhof field, when a man who had followed the party at a distance hurled a missile at Crown Prince Frederick William. The object missed its mark and fell harmlessly at the feet of a policeman. Upon investigation it was found to be an ordinary tin can such as is used for the preservation of fruit and veg- etables and was filled with uncooked beans. The party was about to enter the | palace when the incident occurred and for a moment it was believed that a bomb had been thrown. The police seized the assailant, who proved to be a Russian, who is thought to be irresponsible.
