THREE GREAT POWERS WHITELAW REID'S SPEECH AT NEW YORK BANQUET. Of All Nations Great Britain and the United States Can Give Each Other Most Cheer—Reid Says God and Nature Intended Eternal Peace and Amity Between the Three Great Nations, NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—The 13ist annual banquet of the New York chamber of commerce was held at Delmonico’s tonight and brought to- gether 500 representative business men of New York There were also a num- ber of distinguished quests, including Governor Roosevelt, Senator Thomas C Platt, Senator Chauncey M. Depew, ‘ ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed, Whitelaw Keid, President Seth Low, of Columbia, university; President A. T. Hadley, of Yale university; Major General Wesley Merritt and John Barrett, ex-minister to Siam. President Morris K. Jessup pro- nounced grace and the diners sat down to the music of Sousas “Hand Across the Sea.” The members of the chamber present included Henry W. Cannon, James G. Cannon, Henry Clewsy James M. Con- stable, John D. Crimmins, Charles D. Flint, Edward Gould, Jacob H. Schiff, Henry Seligman, J. Edward Simons, Isaac Stern and Frederick D. Tappen, The introductory remarks of Presi+ dent Jessup were brief. After con- gratulating the members of the cham- ber upon the prosperous condition of the country, he said: “IT now ask you to fill your glasses and drink in silence to the toast I will give you. We have met with a na- tional loss and I’m sure our beloved president has met with an individual loss, and were he here he would ask you to drink to the toast that I shall now give you in silence, ‘The President of the United States.’ ” The toast was drunk standing. Next President Jessup proposed a toast to Queen Victoria, while the orchestra played “God Save the Queen.” Governor Roosevelt spoke to the toast: “The State of New York.” His reception was most flattering. Thomas B. Reed, ex-speaker of the house of representatives responded to the toast: “The Gold Standard.” He was as warmly received as was the governor. President Hadley, of Yale, spoke on “Education for Modern Business Re- sponsibilities.” At the conclusion of President Hayiley’s speech, Senator Platt, who, it was thought, would address the chamber informally, left the banquet hall. The next speaker was Whitelaw Reid, who spoke to the toast: “The Existing Friendly Relations Between the United States and Great Britain.” Mr. Reid said in part: “Long ago Thomas Jefferson remark- ed that of all the nations of the earth Great Britain could do us the most harm, therefore we should seditious- ly cultivate a cordial friendship with her. These later days have shown that of all the nations of ‘the earth, Great Britain and the United States can give each other the most cheer and do each other the most good. There is a noble motive, on both sides, for the same sedulous cultivation of the same cor- dial friendship. In the lamentable wars in which both are for the moment unhappily involved the utmost either can do fs to hope for the other, as for itself, an honor- able and a speedy end to conflicts which neither began. Few thinking people seriously supposed either war can have but the one obvious and in- evitable result. The heavier batallions will win. For the rest, whatever may be the natural sympathies aroused for the feebler side in either war, and whatever may be urged in partial jus- tification of the attacks by which they precipitated hostilities, the dispassion- ate observer will not doubt that in both cases the end, which is thus foreseen from the beginning, will be the best for the security of personal rights, for the ordered liberty and the advancing civilization of the world. “We cannot but regret that, in one case, the victory will bring some nat- ural pangs to as noble a-race as dwells in Europe—the race that stood like a rock when the flood of Spanish ag- gression threatened to overflow the con- tinent; the race that gave to England William of Orange and to America the city of New York. But Dutch sympa- thy with illusionary Afrikander as- pirations will breed no blood fued. Meanwhile it cannot prevent the re- turn of good relations between the two peoples of the whole world nearest to ourselves in origin, aims and interests, the two great Indo-Gemanic peoples ruled from London and Berlin. That is an event momentous in 'the world’s history, auspicious for us, and auspic- ious for the solution of the eastern problems in which we must now bear our share, “No doubt it is our duty to cultivate friendly relations with all peoples, and they may be right who say that in gen- eral we should seek no special relations with any. But you cannot overrule the forces of nature, or bind with the parchment of diplomatists the ‘hidden and irresistable influences of blood and history. I say ‘without hesitation that if there are three great nations in the world that God and nature meant for eternal piece and amity with each other, ‘those three are Great Britain, Germany and the United States. There is obviously every reason why Great Britain and Germany should now be friends. Yet more should the United States welcome and prize the growing friendship of each. We are rivals in trade just as you friendly merchants in New York are rivals in ‘trade. But we are also indespensible customers to each other and we have a common in- terest in the East—the interest of the open door. “Here and there one still hears a discordant voice, declaring that the Unied States cannot do what it com- mitted itself to do in the treaty of Paris—maintain the open door in its eastern possessions. But this is a no- tion based upon conviction as to the different uses of the term ‘The United States in the constitution. No use of it justifies the contention that territory or other property is necessarily an in- tegral part of the United States; and the unbroken line of decisions by the highest courts for over half a century sustains the absolute right of our coun- try to acquire such ‘territory ‘anywhere and govern it as we please. We have pledged the open door in the Philip- pines by Spain by a document which is now the supreme law of the land as well as the constitution and what we give to Spain we shall not refuse to the Most favored nations. “The Philippines then are, through our possession, added to the commer- cial map of the world, and I venture to think that in the century that is dawning they will fill a large space up- on it. “Does anyone in this company of great merchants ask what good our epel} ano poos yeyM Buyyse Aq s38Ms trade with them will be to us, if they are open to everybody? Let me an- with Great Britain is to us? It is open to everybody. Our trade with France or with Germany? Does any- one believe that, with 'the present con- trol, and with the Pacific ocean iti our hands we must still be such feeble competitors in eastern markets that we cannot command ‘trade? I have not thus rated the ability or enterprise of my countrymen. “So we welcome to the East all the world and are sure that those we shall see oftenest there shall be our Eng- lish and our German friends. Together we shall enter the vast, awakening un- known, where dwell one fourth of the people of the world and together in rivalry we must bear our respective Shares of the white man’s burden in the dark places of the earth.” At the conclusion of Mr. Reid’s speech voluntary toasts were called for and a toast was drunk standing to “The Army and Navy.” It was cheered enthusiastically. There was no re- sponse to it, General Merritt haying retired, and the banquet ended. BREAKS ALL RECORDS DULUTH & IRON RANGE DOES SOME RAPID. ORE LOADING. In Eleven Hours an Equal Number of Vessels Are Loaded at the Road’s Ore Docks at Two Harbors and Five Hundred and Eighty-Five Cars Are Dumped. Most Remark- able Record, The Duluth & Iron Range road claims a distinction that will attract attention at all lake ports at least. Last Sunday the road loaded from its ore docks at Two Harbors 11 ships in 11 hours with an aggregate of 41,097% gross tons of iron ore. It is said that this record stands unequalled in the history of ore shipping in the United States and probably does elsewhere. The cargoes ranged from 2,100 to 5.- 782 gross tons. The entirg work was performed by the regular gang, con- sisting of 100 men. In addition to Joad- ing the 11 ships in the time given, 535 cars of ore were dumped. The Iron Range docks have heretofore made some very good records, but this is the most notable one. The boats were all loaded and cleared in 11 hours. This record is on a basis of ship- ments of about 1,250,000 gross tons a month. As the Iron Range road ex- pects to ship 5,000,000 tons of ore next year it will not be surprising if during some of the months next year the ship- ments will reach the 1,000,000 tons mark for 30 days. MISSABE ROAD’S NEW EQUIPMENT. Five Hundred Ore Cars and Seven Engines are Ordered. The Duluth, Missabe & Northern road has placed an order for 500 new ore cars and seven locomotives. The cars will be turned out by the Pull- man company and the engines by the Pittsburg Locomotive works. The three ore carrying roads of Min- nesota have orders in for an aggregate of about 1,200 ore cars and about 25 locomotives. The Iron Range has an order for 10 locomotives and 350 ore cars. The new locomotives for the Eastern’s ore branch will be delivered by the Great Northern. The company will have about 400 new ore cars. NO SOUVENIR BOOKS. Knights of Labor Committee Recom- mends that They Be Not Published. BOSTON, Nov. 21.—The morning ses- sion of the general assembly of the Knights of Labor was devoted to a discussion of a report by a special committee of five which had been ap- pointed to look into the subject of the Journal, the official organ of the or- der. The committee recommended the prohibition of the publication of the souvenir books throughout the juridic- tion of the order. A delegate from Dis- trict Assembly No. 253, New York, pre- sented a resolution asking the permis- sion of the general assembly to organ- ize a woman’s district assembly in New York, and the matter was refer- red to the proper committee.
