Mr. Coudert Shows That They Are Not Incompatible. The annral celebration of tha anniver- sary of the birth of Washington under the auspices of the Union League Club was held in the Chicago Auditorium yes- terday afterncon. The great hall was filled, the stage being occupied by a large chorus of children from the high schools of the city, which, in company with the great or- gan in the hall, furnished the music for the occasion. The oration of the day was delivered by Frederick R. Coudert of New York, who spoke on “War and Arbitra- tion.” His address was received with great favor by the audience. He said among other things: “Today the United States and Great Britain are striv- ing to crown the glories of this dying cen- tury with something better and greater than the world has seen. It is proposed to abolish homicide as a test of international right by submitting causes of dispute to the calm judgment of wise men; a solution so simple and so economical that it re- quires great ingenuity to assail it with plausible reasons. All concede that in theory the plan is admirable, and that in Practice on a Hmited scale it has proved of priceless value, that it is infinitely more likely to produce rational results than the only other alternative, viz: Resort to war. “ “But.” say the objectors, ‘what if out national honor should become involved?” “A nation’s honor, I would venture to say, Is never compromised by temperance or injured by forbearance. A nation’s honor is not severed by rash counsels, nor by violent imrulses recklessly indulged in. It Is indeed a frail and delicate posses- sion if it cannot live in an atmosphere of peace, it is a dangerovs one if it is tar- nished by friendly discussion and a dis- position to hearken to the voice of jus- tice. “National honor may perhaps shine all the brighter when a great nation is slow to admit trat her just dignity may be tm- periled by the act of others. The honor of a nation is in her keeping, not in that of her neighbors; it cannot be lost save by her own act. To preserve her honor should be her main object and purpose, but she should net readily believe those who tell her that by hard blows alone may its in- tegrity be protected. “A nation’s honor consists in fidelity to her engagements, in carrying out her con- tracts in spirit as in the letter, in paying her just debts, in respecting the rights of others, in promoting the welfare of her people, in the encouragement of truth, in teaching obedience to the law,in cultivating honorable peace with the wor!d. “How can our national honor be so grievously invaded that there can be no room for remonstrance, no time for discus- sion, no opportunity allowed the aggressor for amendment? “Bluster, with nations as with indi- viduals, is dying out. It is heard at times, but its voice squeaks and shows senility. It cannot, as of old, arouse a nation mto unthinking wrath cr drive it from its pro- Friety. The wisdom and the experience of the world are agairst it. “The day has gone by when honorable preferment could only be gained in war. The splendid triumphs of peace are winning over the heart of man from the glories of war. Perhaps the boy of today, by the time he has cast his first vote, may think it as well to be an Edison as a Napoleon, Pasteur as a Wellington, a Franklin as Von Moltke. to build as to destroy, to sav as to kill, to love as to hate. To labor for his bread and to earn it by the sweat of his face is the curse more fully trans- ferred inte a blessing, but labor must and shall enjoy its rewards in peace. “Order had become the watchword of a growing civilization, and order means the law, not the law of violence, not the law facetiously called the law of war—that is the law of lawlessness—but the law which grows from a fine sense of justice, which depends on reason. “The prejudices, errors and passions of men may defer the hour of triumph, but come it must. The constant tendency of man is toward peace, as soon as he emerges from the primitive condition wherein he most closely resembles the in- ferior tenants of the earth. Individually he longs for rest and the enjoyment of life. He undergoes hardships that he may have security and ease. “The good fight of peace and for peace is fairly won. Honor to those who have achieved it and shown themselves the friends of the human race. The great con- summation may be defered, but come it will.” sees PIUTES REPORTED HOSTILE. They Seek to Avenge the Death of One of Thetr Na re But lttle information 1s obtainable at Carson, Nev., as tc the cause of the re- Forted hostile attitude of the Mason Valley Piutes, excapt that the story is current that lest week two white boys and a Ptute buck had a fight over a squaw. The In- dian was worsted in the encounter and was fatally injured. The death of the In- dian was the grievance that incited the Piutes to threaten the valley settlers. The first news came in the form of the following message to the governor early yesterday morning from Wabuska: “The Indians have threatened to burn all property and kill the white men and women within reach of this valley. Send us fifty men by special train and fifty ex- tra stands of arms soon as possible. “(Signed.) By Order of Special Commitiee.” Adjt. Gen. Calusha at once ordered to be in readiness and left on a special train for Wabuska. Late yesterday afternoon the following message was received from Adjt. Gen. Calusha, dated Wabuska: “Can learn nothing definite here only that it was quiet at Yerington this morn- ing. Don’t think there can be any trouble. Will leave for Yerington in a few min- utes. If you don’t hear from me by 7 o'clock this evening won’t need your com-: mand today. Cc. H. CALUSHA, “Adjutant General.” A representative of the Associated Press called on Gov. Sadie: nection with the quoted messages. Asked if he anticipated trouble, he said: “I really cannot tell. Should trouble oc- ALGER FOR PEACE. The Future Secretary of War Ad- dresses the Michigan Club. Eight hundred members of the Michigan Club banqueted merrily at Detroit, Mich., last evening in the dig auditorium. It was the twelfth annual gala night of the clyb, and the occasion was not less auspicious than the previous notable gatherings of that stalwart republican organization. Overhead and about the walls hung hun- dreds of American flags, and the tables were bright with the same form of decora- tion. A score of speakers and distinguished guests sat at the speakers’ table on the broad platform at the front of the andito- rium. Over the platform hung a canopy in patriotic coiors. Behind the speakers was @ large portrait of Washington, flanked by these of McKinley and Hobart. From the galleries a large audience of both sexes looked down upon the scene, and orchestral music added to the pleasurable excite- ment of the evening. The one disappoint- ing feature was the absence of Chairman Hanna, who had been announced would be present and respond to ihe toast “The Vic- tory of 18%." The following telegram ee Mr. Hanna, dated February 19, was read: “I sm very sorry, but it 1s simply impos- sible for me to leave home before I go to Washington. McKinley is rot receiving visitors, and I am overwhelmed by people coming here, whom I must see. I know my frierds will appreciate that only public du- tles prevent my enjoying the pleasure of meeting them. M. A. HANNA. Regrets were also read from President- elect McKinley, ex-President Harrison, Serator Sherman, Congressman Burrows and cthers. Retiring President S. 3. Babcock made his farewell addresa, concluding with the intro- duction of Gen. R. A. Alger as toastinaster. The general arose, amid great cheering and waving of flags. He feelingly thanked his friends of thirty years’ standing for thelr very evident friendship. Referring to Present business conditions, he asserted his belief that future prosperity hitherto un- known was near at hand. Speaking of the Proposed era of peace, and of his official Position iu the cabinet, the general said: “As far as my influence can go, there shall never be anything to disturb our Peaceful relations with other nations, un- less our honor ts assailed. While we should ever give our sympathies to the oppressed, what we need now above all things is rest from strife, restored confidence and peace.” Gen. Alger introduced Gov. Pingree, who welcomed the club and guests, incidentally eulogizing Washington and the heroes ot his time. The governor deprecated the conservatism which generally stands back when fighting is in progress, and asserted that the people of today were as earnestly demanding reforms as those of ‘76, and carer “If the republican party and republican leaders are blind to the situation of today, as was George III to the demands of the colonists, reforms will be brought about by other men and other parties, and we will be simply wreath-hangers when the thing is over.” Of his favorite theme of taxation the governor said: “The farmers and the laboring men of Michigan have for yegrs been paying tour times their due proportion of the tax, com- pared with that taken from corporate priv- ileges. This ts against the principles of the’ republican party, whose old motto is, ‘Principles, not men.’ “We have it in our hands to remedy this wrong. I trust we may not trifle with it. Let us establish equality of taxation. The state is waiting. To be patriotic is to be honest. If we all take care of our home affairs it will be ail the easier for President McKinley to conduct the affairs of the na- lon."” Representative Albert J. Hopkins of Ilt- nols responded to the toast “Our nation.” He traced the growth of the republic, re- marking that what most marked the ad- vance of the nation ts the position today accorded to woman. “Washington's influence on modern American politics” called forth a toast by Boles Penrose, senator-elect from Pennsyi- vania. He was proud, he said, to come from Philadelphia, the city of 'Independ- ence Hall; a city which gave McKinley a majority of 110,000. “The American people,” said he, “sub to but one thing, that is a majority.” There was a tremendous ovation. when Gen. Alger grasped the hand of Gen. James A. Walker of Virginia, who commanded the confederate “Stonewall” brigade after Gen. Jackson's death. Gen. Walker responded to “Virginia, the mother of Washington.” In closing’ he said: “I have lived long enough to realize that the successes of the confederate cause would have been evil, not good. Over the great sons of Virginia and of the north- west brooded the same spirit of liberty; in the breast of each burned the same love cf right and justice.” The other responses to toasts were as follows: “The republican party,” Curtis Guild, jr., Boston; “Old-fashioned _republfcanism,” dohn A. Logan, jr., Washington; “Patriot- iam,” G. J. Corey, Chicago; “The flag,” Judge Albion W. Tourgee, New York. mit Hammer and Anvil. ‘be fellow! poem was recently read by Gen. Ino, W.

CARSON sg. bett to Become “Stale.” © Serie CONDITION OF THE TW FIGHTERS Sa Sg te : Li iesaberes The Australian Prides Himself on His American Citizenship. Se CURRENT SPORTING NOTES ge, CARSON, Nev., February 23.—From hints dropped by Fitzsimmons and his trainers it is easy to see that they have thoroughly made up their minds about Corbett. Over- flowing conidence in Bob's ability to win under even conditions deluge everything and everybody eut at Cook’s, but they also believe that on the 17th of March the con- ditions will not be even. They all consider that if Corbett keeps up his present gait from now until the fight he will be as stale as a third-rater. A dozen fdeas of this kird fill the Australian’s head all the tine. Julian feeds him on them morning, noon and night. The little manager stated that the assumption of superiority is natural and cannot be helped. Corbett says the brothers-in-law are whistling to one another to keep their courage up. Fitz a Mass of Muscles. Fitzsimmons does not need much round- ing off, even for the hard battle he now has in prospect. His limbs are one mass of muscles, just loose enough for liveliness, and his arms are in perfect shape. Tho hands that were so badly disfigured last fall bythe collision with Sharkey’s skull now show no signs of weakness, though one knuckle ig still painful. Hickey will probably begin active training his principal Wednesday, and itoeber will add his talents to the daily routine of work so soon as the other two get well warmed up. Corbett and Fitzsimmons have hobbies in the line of training. The Californian swears by his hand-ball court, and the Australian by his daily ten-mile country run, as the finest thing in the world to get a man in condition. Each of them will en- joy bis preference to the full before the day of the battie. Two little localities in the neighborhood of Carson are watching these gladiators with wide open eyes. The town of Empire, three miles from here, is full of Jrishmen, and every ore of them is a Corbett stand- ard bearer. Many of them make weary trips through the snow day after day and feel well rewarded for the trouble if they can cnly get a glimpse of their tavorite. At Virginia the Cornish miners, who delve in all that is left of the old Comstock, are full lof noisy enthusiasm for Fitzsimmons. Corbett Predicts a Day of Reckoning. Corbett said yesterday: ‘You notice I am not saying much about Mr. Fitzsimmons. He and his man Julian are doing most of the talking. But I want to tell you that every unkind word that man has said, every mean and cowardly thing he has uttered I will make him repent, mark my words. And I don't want any'gang’ of toughs at the ringside to help me make him swallow his words, either. He can go on talking, and I suppose he will from now till the lith, but remember what I say. If he whips me I will take Iny mpdicine like a man; but Robert Fitzsimmons never saw the day in his life, and mever ‘will, when he will be able to get the dest of me.” Then he talked aboyt the weather. “E have never felt so coldfor a long while as I do now. If a fellow does not keep mov- ing all the time the perspiratfon will ‘feexe on his body. The air here is fine and healthy, and the people treat me well, but the loneliness of it is making me very tired. I am so lonesomfe out here that I have got blue and‘ homestck. I feel the need of somebody to cheer mg up, and have sent down to the city fodaySfor my wife and sister. They will be up at the end of the week. E will attend to my work just as faithfully while they are here, and my friends need not be afratd that I will get’ slow or careless in my training. My wife will stay here until after the fight.” Dan Stuart has sent a dispatch inquiring whether Dan Hawkins would meet Michael Flaherty of Lowell, who recently gained a decision over Erne. Hawkins 1s ready and willing to make such a match, but there is liable to be some hitch in regard to weight, as Flaherty fought at 125 pounds, while Hawkins cannot fight at 1 thi 130 pounds. a os Sib Fits Proud of His Citizenship. Fitzsimmons prides himself on his citi- zenship, even though it was but recently obtained through the application for the necessury papers. He scoffs at Corbett’s appeals for sympathy to the American Public because of his nativity and declares that the Californian has now no more right to claim that he is to defend the American flag in the ring than himself. “I am an American citizen,” said Fitz yesterday. “I am, furthermore, the Amer- ican champion and the champion pugilist of the world. I'll confess that Corbett held the championship after he defeated poor old John L. Sullivan, but then you must remember that in order to avold a meeting with me he surrendered the title and ten- dered it to Peter Maher, who was then matched to fight me. “Corbett hoped that Maher would best me, so that he could turn around and say that I had succumbed to a second-rater and would have to get a reputation before i could get a battle with the alleged cham- Dion. But you will also probably remember = P whipped Maher practically with one “That transferred the title of champion of the world to me. Didn't it? “Where dces Mr. Corbett come in for his claims for the championship? He signs all his show bills ‘James J. Corbett, champion of the world,’ when in reality I am the omy simen-pure champion. {But I do not care to dispute this matter with him at the present time. He can claim to be the President of the United Staes if he wants to, but there will be a different story to tell on the evening of the 17th of March.

In the last game he started off with seven successive strikes, making a score of 150 In five boxes, but was unable to keep up the pace. The record was made in a series of practice games with another club bowler. In the recent ten-pin tournament, held in the Columbia Athletic Club, Deyo came out fourth, with an average of 1571-12 in twelve games. ———— CHAIRMAN “HANNA’S POLICY. He Talks About His Attitude in the Senate. Chairman M. A. Hanna consented yes- terday afternoon to talk to a reporter at Cleveland regarding the announcement that Gov. Bushnell had decided to appoint him United States Senator to succeed Sher- man. Of nis policy he said: “I shall do all in my power to be worthy of the honor. As far as my policy goes it will be to aid the McKinley administration, and, in particular, to assist in framing at once a tariff bill which will seek to re- store confidence to the country and give a stimulvs to our industries. That is now the chief purpose of my lif . “I received,” said he, “a letter from Gov. Bushnell this morning, apprising me of ‘his intention to appoint me, but that letter, of course, aas already been pub- lished. I have written a reply to Gov. Bushnell thanking him for the honor which he has bestowed upon me and in particular for advising me of his intention in ad- vance of the resignation of Senator Sher- man. “It gives me a chance to prepare my plans for my new place in life. Gov. Bush- nell doubtless felt that the sentiment in Ohio toward me was such that he had bet- ter make the appointment.” Before 6 o’clock Mr. Hanna had reccived more than 200 telegrams of congratula- on. Among them were messages from Maj. McKinley, Gen. Grosvenor, Senator Sherman, Senator Foraker, George B. Cox, John Addison Porter, Judge A. J. Ricks, Gen, Horace Porter, Congressman C: B. Beach, Redfield Proctor, L. C. Lavlin, H. H. Kohlisaat, Maj. Moses P. Handy, Gen. Alger, E. D. Woodmansee, Garret A. Ho- bart, Col. John Hay and W. M. Osborne. Bushnell Congratulated. Now that it ts all over, and Mr. Hanna has been selected as the successor to Sen- ator Sherman, there is joy everywhere in the republican ranks in Ohio. Senator Foraker says: “This talk about the appointment of one man or another dis- rupting the party is all bosh.” The closest friends of the governor and Senator-elect Foraker, some of whom may not have favored the appointment of Mr. Hanna, are among the first to acquiesce in the decision, and declare that they will take off their coats and go into the con- teat next fall with nothing ahead of them but victory.
