MANY PROMINENT PERSONS PRESENT Resolutions Handsomely Engrossed and Beautifully Bound. THE SECRETARY’S REPLY ‘Yesterday afternoon the parlors of the Arlington were well filled with the friends of Secretary Biiss—members of the Amer- ican Protective Tariff League. They had come from New York and Pennsylvania, and some from the far west to partielpate in the presentation of a testimonial to Mr. Bliss, the ex-president of the league. In the party were many nrominent politicians, whose voices in advocacy of protection for American industries have been heard in many campaigns. In addition to the mem- bers of the league many prominent repub- licans were among the invited guests, and the exercises, while not elaborate, showed in what esteem the Secretary of the In- terior is held by his friend Shortly after 3 o'clock the visitors from New York and Pennsylvania arrived by a special train, and were driven at once to the Arlington. Secretary Wilbur- F. Wakeman had the affair in charge, and welcomed the guests. It was past 4 o'ciock when Secretary Bliss “eaning on the arm of ex-Mayor Strong of New York, the presilent of the league, entered the parlors. They were immediately surround- ed by their friends, and Secretary Bliss renewed the acquaintance of many he had rot seen since the first tocsin of the league was sounded for protection. Called to Order. Strong called the meeting to order, and said it was net necessary to dwell upon the introduction of Mr. Bliss. He was too well known to the friends of protection and the lovers of liberty and republican institctions. President Strong then gave way to Vice President J. E. Thropp, who presented the testimonial on the part of the league in a speech of some jength, in which he reviewed Mr. Bliss’ career, both in business and politics, and complimented him highly for the aid he had given the cause of protection. The Testimonial. At the close of his address he handed Mr. Bliss the testimonial. It was in the form of a book mounted in silver, inclosing beau- tiful sheets of highly ornamented letter- ing. After the name comes the address with a large initial, through which is shown the caduceus (representing husiness) and the ivy leaves of friendsaip. Then fol- lows the titie of the league on a ribbon, back of which is shown the horn of plenty with its flowers and fruits. Then the wording in old English text with orna- mental capitals, showing the league's ap- Preciation of his valuable services to that organization. The cover is of blue leather mounted on silver, the centerpiece being the shield of the league with the mono- gram “C. N. B.” surrounded by the plow, anvil and loom. The corners are highly orramented in silver, and the book was inclosed in a highly polished box of ma- hogany. “I cannot express the sentiments of my heart for the honor that you are this day conferring upon me. ‘Thirteen years ago I was one of a party of ten or twelve men who met in a small room on Madison ave- nue, New York, to consult regarding the formation of a local society for dissemina- tion of the principles of protection to Amer- ican industries and labor. A few of the original members are, I believe, here to- day. Some have passed away. Colonel Le Grand B. Cannon and one or two others are still living and in the enjoyment of the retrospect of long lives well spent in the service of thete fellow-citizens—a ser- vice for which no recompense was ever asked or received, except the conscious- ness of duty performed. “At the time of which I speak there were signs of a growing opposition to the national policy of protection, and it was to combat such opposition in our own city that our society was formed. Mr. E. H. Ammidown, an able writer on political economy, was our first president. “The originators had no intention of en- tering upon a national work, but circum- stances led to extension of the original plan, and as opportunity offered and means Were provided the work grew to its present grand proportions, and the American Pro- bral! tee mee has become one of great social ani country. Rolitical factors of the It is the central home and ti agent of prosperous auxiliary. sociation oe tablished in every state of the Union. Its work, while confined principally to the cause for which it was chartered, has made {t one of the chief bulwarks against tne dangerous anarchistic wave that in a time of depression swept over the country, and which was largely caused by the very dis- regard of the system which had, when in the ascendant, brought prosperity and hap- piness to the people, and which has as sure- ly, when in decadence, brought misery and distress to thousands of homes. There was a time when some of us thought that conservative men of all par- ties who recognized the danger of a Policy that looked to the overthrow of a system that had received the sanction of all the great men, whom we refer to as “fathers” of the repubile could unite with our league without abandoning other distinctive poli- cies of their respective parties, but party government and discipline was too strong and the little experiment in non-partisan political effort was no more successful than later efforts of others have been in that di- rection. President Government by Party. Government by party Is likely to continue for generations te come, and any great domestic policy to be “successful must be supported by one or other of the chief na- tional parties of the country. The realiza- tion of this fact has brought the league into close connection with the existing re- publican party. In loyal support of that party, we have found our strength and the increase of our influence. In the last national campaign the league supplied to all sections of the country many millions of documents; it provided lectures for the village lyceums, accurate informa- tion and: statistics of trade, commerce and manufactures to legislators, facts and fig- ures for the campaign orators, with texts and briefs of speeches if required, and in the end, we had the gratification of wit- nessing the passage of a tariff act in extra session of Congress which would, in time of peace, have undoubtedly furnished suffi- cient means for the expenses of the goy- ernment, with that protection to industry and labor which a majority of the people demanded. No one vill claim that the league alone accomplished all that has been done for our cause. We only suggest that the league has co-operated loyaily and effictently, by the power of its organization, with’ the people and for the pec ple in bringing about a settlement of the pretection issue that is to be beneficial and lasting. But all po- littcal contests of a domestic character will, I am sure, ve rut aside for the present by this asscciailon, while the league joins with patriotic zeal all Americans of all parties in loyal defense of the land we love, and assists in giving to our neighbors of the adjacent {siaads the bcon of freedom so leng denied to them sy the incapable tyranny of Spain. I congratulate the league on the election of my friend, Col. Strong, to the presi- dency, and that you have been able to re- tain Mr. Wiken-an es secretary. To his serviees in organization and executive werk ts due much of the success of the re- cent years, Gentlemen, friends of these many years, for the more than kind sentiments that you have ex ressed for me personaly, and for the magnificent album wherein I shail see the hand (and faces) of so many with whom it has been a pleasure and honor to be associated, I render to you my grateful thanks, and to ore and all I wislr long Hfe, presperity and happiness. Senator Carter’s Remarka, After the acceptance of the testimonial by Seerctary Bliss, President Strong of the tariff league Introduced Senator Carter of |’ Montana, who reviewed his personal ac- quaintance with Secretary Bitss, his knowl- edge of the workings of the American Pro— tective Tarif? League, his opinion of the Magnitude of the Interior it and expressed the opirion that that department Was more impértent to the people as a whole than any other single department of the government, end closed by saying the pdsition of Secretary of the Interior had never been filled more acceptably than by Mr. Bliss. After reading the expressions of regret, from the President, Vice President Hobart and Speaker Reod, Mr. Strong introduced Senator Warren of Wyoming, who related his acquaintance with the Secre- tary ef the Interior, his personal interest in having him selected for said position, his Personal knowledge of the great work of Mr. Bliss in favor of the policy of protec- tion, his personal friendship for the Secre- tary, and closed by saying, he was “All Wool, a yard wide,” and the “right man in the right place.” ‘The members of the tariff league and friends assembled then adjourned to a luncheon in the grand dining room of the Arlington.

Ble ae train was pass. asa rail - bn Dooce Wiis cut, near Olcut, Pa., the engineer was astonished to see a black bear coming around a sharp curve. The cut is so narrow that there is hardly room for a man to stand aside and allow an en- gine to pass withoyt striking him. Bruin was more amgzedthan the engineer. In- stead of stepping agide, he reared on his haunches and:ewaited events. The locomo- tive was runnifig less than twenty miles an hour, for the,,placé is a-dangerous one. Upon seeing the bear the engineer shut off steam and applied the brakes, but the dis- tance was too?Short to escape an accident. ‘The cowcatchfr sifi under the hind ane 7 him off the ground. eer put on stegm more, while the fire- man climbed out the cab window and stole along tha euass Tail to find out what just the ground and his Riad “ataost geachigg. the, bottom of the headlight. to understand that on ly took away his a toon aa the ening, came toa stand. still 8 break for freedom, This took him straight te the agent, who dashed through the rear door and went up the street at a fu- rious rate, calling out, “‘ Some- bedy get a gun!” Soon the town was in a turmoil, a yell- ing crowd following in hot pursuit of the bear, some of the boys pelting him with stones. Suddenly a big shepherd dog bounced out of a yard and dashed after the bear. Bruin paused but a minute or two, but when he passed on the rash dog had ne future interest in the proceedings. At the street corner a lawyer carrying a double-barreled gun came face to face with the bear, but the latter turned down the nearest alley. The crowd increased and encircled the frightened animal, making escape impossible. Finding himself at bay, bruin backed up against a barn, rearing on his haunches. The lawyer sent two bul- lets Into the bear, whereupon the wounded animal charged the crowd. One urchin fell, was trampled upon and had a leg broken. The lawyer slipped another bullet into his gun and sent the shot through’ bruin’s head and finished him. By this time the engin- eer and fireman recalled the fact that a train load of passengers were waiting at the station, and hurried back and resumed their’ official duties after a bear hunt of about twenty minutes. 2°+—___—.
