On the-contrary, it is said | that Dedrick left the Erik against the | orders and wishes of Peary, Secretary Bridgeman of the Peary Arcilc Club, Wickoff and Dr. Cook.

E. SCOTT, Secretary. 0DY ORDERS WITHHOLDING OF ALL NEWS Trustees Instruct Their Secretary to Make the Discrimination HE Chambet of Commerce of San Francisco, through its board of trustees, has instructed its secre- tary to exclude the Examiner from its rooms. As an additional mark of disapproval of the course of the | paper mentioned, it has also voted not to supply any news to the Examiner or to any reporters employed by it. The Chamber of Commerce is known throughout the world. It embraces in its membership more than 400 great commer- cial houses, the banks and insurance com- panies of San Francisco, the representa- tives of its vast shipping interests, promi- nent manufactures and leading men in all walks of commercial and industrial life in the metropolis of the Pacific Coast. From this brief statement of the con- stitution of the Chamber of Commerce it will be inferred that this commercial body has not taken radical action without rea- son. Moreover, the causes which have im- pelled its action have been set forth in formal resolutions, adopted only after a discussion sufficiently long to determine the opinion of each of the gentlemen who make up the board of trustees as to what should constitute their fitting, proper and dignified action in the premises. A set of resolutions, which is published herewith, was adopted without a dissenting voice. The secretary of the chamber, acting under instructions of his superiors, has furnished a copy of the resolutions to each of the daily papers published in San Fran- cisco, with the exception of the Examiner. At the beginning of ‘the preamble to their resolutions the trustees of the Chamber of Commerce, all representative men, arraign the Examiner with scathing words, which they have judged to be suit- able for the occasion. They say: A dally newspaper of San Francisco carica- tured and exposed to the hatred of and con- tempt of mankind the late President Willlam McKinley during his most useful lifetime, and afterward affected sympathy during his sick- ness and to lament his tragic death. Then the trustees passed over a review of the true limitations of the liberty of the press to speak of the Examiner by name, having mentioned with scorn ‘‘vile attacks, willful misrepresentations and in- decent caricatures” and in their resolu- tions they say: We emphatically disapprove and condemn the eaid action of the Examiner; and be it further Resolved, That the secretary of the Cham- ber of Commerce of San Francisco be and he hereby is instructed to exclude the Examiner from the rooms of the chamber and to refrain from furnishing news to the Bxaminer or any of its reporters. The board of trustees which has re- buked the Examiner includes the follow- ing 1n its membership: President, George A. Newhall; first vice president, Henry F. Allen; second vice president, William E. Mignell; Wakefield Baker, E. R. Dimond, W. J. Dutton, A. B. Field, Willam L. Gerstle, William M. Bunker, C. Osgood Hooker, George W. McNear Jr., H. Rosenfeld, A. G. Towne and Charles M. Yates. The bare statement of the facts, the se- verity of the humiliation which the lead- ing business men of San Francisco have seen fitting to put upon a jour- nal of great protensions as an exponent of public opinion, and the evident earnest- ness which actuated the trustees—more than all, the enormity of the offense that is laid at the door of the Examiner in connectior. with its actions before and since the hand of an assassin struck down the late revered President of the United States—make up an arraignment which is impressive. Such action upon the part of the board of trustees of the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco requires no comment. The members of the Chamber are con- nected with other commercial organiza- tions in this city. They have announced their intention to introduce resolutions similar to thos: adopted by the Chamber of Commerce before the trustees and di- rectors of the kindred bodies in San Fran- cisco. Among these are the Merchants’ Association, the Manufacturers’ and Pro- ducers’ Association and the San Francisco Board of Trade. They say that the public temper is such that each cf these bodies will adopt meas- ures to set forth reprobation for the Ex- aminer. Steps will be taken to-morrow to ask the directors of the Board of Trade of San Francisco to act; and this will be the first to be called by the business men to act with the Chamber of Commerce. News of the adoption of resolutions by the (‘hamber of Commerce was received in the business portions of the city yes- terday with general expressions of ap- proval and hearty indorsement. The trus- tees of the Chamber of Commerce took pains to ascertuin the sentiments of the hundreds of large business houses that they represent and then acted in full ac- cord therewith, adding to the history of 1“STOP SLOBBER OF YOUR FEARS,” EDITOR HEARST —_— Press of New York Gives Advice to ‘““Red”” Journalist EW YORK, Sept. 21.—On the 16th inst. the New York Press pub- lished a scathing rebuke to Wil- liam R. Hearst, editor and pro- prietor of “American Instigators of Anarchy,” as appended: Nowhere in the history of great men's lives, or of great men's deaths, can be found such resignation’ and deep religious faith as marked the last hours of Willlam McKinley. Among great men, one bemoaned some plan left incomplete, another asked for ‘‘more light,” another, fretting for the political fu- ture, sighed, My country, how I leave thee.” He faced the other world and the other lite with the quiet, confident hope of a man who had done his best.—New York Journal, Sep- tember 15. And when he was doing the hardest of his best, and doing it in such a way as to enable him to ‘“face the other world with a quiet, confident hope,” such as, you say, no other great man has been able wholly to entertain, you said of him that he was— “An obedient jellyfish.” “An abject, weak, futile, incompe- tent poltroon.” “Bar one, the most despised and hated creature in the hemisphere; his name is hated; his figure burned in efigy.” You had not then a friend to stop the slaver of your hate; but in the name of a nauseated humanity recoiling at a mon- strous exposure of moral idiocy, have you ;wne now to stop the slobber of your ears?

A portion of that article Is published below and is as follows: “Has not the Examiner for many months, and even years past, by word and caricature almost daily grossly insulted our lamented late President and his suc- cessor? “Has not that paper always insinuated the basest motives for all the actions of these men? “Has it not posed them as brainless fools in the hands of powerful politicians for contempt and ridicule here and abroad? “Has the Examiner treated ex-President Cleveland more justly and decently—the man who was once the leader of his par- ty, for which this paper pretends to have a weakness at certain times, although it long ago abandoned the principles of that party? ‘“However much this paper shared in the personal insults to our national leaders, the late Mr. McKinley and Mr. Roosevelt, it was not at all abashed when the storm of public indignation had broken loose to glorify Mr. McKinley as the greatest of the Presidents that the United States has had. ““The present boundless exaggerations of its praise, exlending over many pages of the papér, furnish the absolute proof of its insincerity and of the baseness of its opinion. “‘After this paper had tried to under- mine all respect for authority by all the means that unscrupulous demagogues have at their disposal, it is weeping tor- rents of crocodile tears now that its seed has produced the disastrous, bloody re- sults. “Emma Goldman and her teachings have had their good share in the terrible deed of Czolgosz, but our yellow press has to assume its part of the work too; and it is yet an open question which of the two parties has to shoulder the great- er responsibility for the crime.” —_———— WHEAT-GROWERS NAME CONVENTION DELEGATES Speakers in Woodland Sharply Criti- cize the Attitude of Governor Gage.

B * ETHANY, France, Sept. 21.—The Czar, the Czarine and President Loubet to-day reviewed 140,000 troops on the plain of Bethany. The march past lasted from 10:4§ a. m. to 1:10 p. m., terminating in_a magnificent charge of 20,000 cavalry. The spectacle was very imposing, as the in- fantry went by 150 files deep with fixed bayonets. The Czar and Czarina and Presldent and Mme. Loubet left Compiegne at § o'clock this morning and arrived at Bethany at 10 o'clock. The Czar on leaving the station mounted a splendid bay charger, handsomely caparisoned. The other members of the party entered carriages, each drawn by four artillery horses. Waiting at the station were thirty Arab Sheikhs, who had obtained special permission to leave Algeria and Tunis to attend the review. They gath- ered around the imperial procession as an escort to the review ground. Gorgeous Sheikhs in Line. The Shelkhs were attired in the most brilliant colors—scarlet, blue, browp, green and yellow robes, which flowed over the haunches of their Arab steeds. The Oriental group formed a kaleidoscopic mass of color of the most brilliant de- scription imaginable and constituted the most attractive feature in the entire ?rl‘:yhis speech at the luncheon which followed the review, President Loubet created a sensation by saying in effect that the Franco-Russian alliance is pledged to settlements inspired by justice and humanity. Whether rightly or other- wise, some of his hearers took the re- mark to refer to affairs in South Africa. The full text of M. Loubet's speech fol- lows: : Sir: In thanking your Majesty and her Majesty the Empress in the name of the French republic for having been so good as to attend the cheering spectacles of the last few days, my thought goes back to the great political act which preceded them and ‘which lends them their whole significance. Prepared and concluded by your august father, Emperor Alexander 1II, and President Carnot, and sol- emnly proclaimed on board the Admiral Pot- huau by your Majesty and President Faure, the alliance of Russia and France has had time to affirm its character and bear fruit. Value of the Alliance. 1t none may doubt the essentially pacific idea from which it arose no more ¢an any anel (Illll rceive that it has contributed powerfully to the maintenance of the balance between the forces of Eurove, peace, which, to be fruitful, could not remain precarious. It has developed with the years, and the questions which have arisen have found it watchful and resolute, ‘reconciling its own interests with the general interests of the world. It is moderate because it is strong. and is won over in advance to settlements which are inspired by justice and humanity. The good which it has done is a pledge that it will do still more, and it is on that full confidence that, after paying plous tribute to the mem- ory of the moble founder of the work, of which this day is,a magnificent consecration, I raise my glass to the glory and happiness of your Majesty, the happiness of her Majesty and of all her family, and to the greatness and pros- perity of Russia, the friend and ally of France, The Russian anthem was then played, and the Czar in a clear voice read his re- ply as follows: Monsieur le Presidente: At the moment of leaving France, where we have again received so cordlal and warm a welcome, I desire to "= 7~ | express to you our sincere gratitude and the a necessary condition of <+ strong feeling which stirs us. We shall ever retaih, ‘the Empress and myself, the precious memory of these few days, so full of impres- sion profoundly engraved on our hearts, and we shall continue both far and near to as- sociate ourselves with all that concerns friend- liness for' France. The ties which unite our countries: have just been again affirmed, and have received fresh confirmation in the mani- | festations of mutual sympathy which have | been so eloquently made here, and have found | o warm an echo in Russia. The intimate union of the two great powers, animated by the most pacific intentions, and who, while able to make their rights respected, do not seek to injure in any way the rights of others, is a precious element of appeasement for the whole of humanity. I drink tg the prosperity of France, the prosperity of a friendly and allied nation, and to the gallant army and the splendid fleet of France. Let me repeat all our thanks and raise: my glass in your honor. The ‘“Marseillaise” was played and the speech was cheered to the echo. RARE MARTIAL SPECTACLE. Review of the Great Army of Un- paralleled Magnificence. BETHANY, Sept. 21.—The plain of Bethany is about six miles wide and two miles deep, and is sufrounded by rising ground which forms a sort of amphithea- ter of pasture and woodland. This was taken as a coign of vantage by a great concourse of the general public, who thus dominated the review ground, though from a considerable distance. The pavilion of honor, which faced the plain on the south side, was covered with an awning of red #nd white stripes. The interior was hung with purple velvet with gold embroidery and was adorned with military devices of swords and bayonets, while breastplates were fixed on the out- side walls. “A dais jutted out in the cen- ter of the pavilion, on which the Czar, the Czarina, President Loubet, M. Des- chanel, President of the Chamber of Dep- uties, and M. Fallieres, President of the Senate, and their wives took seats. Tite whole was profusely decorated with flags, and the French tricolor and the Russian standard waved from masts at either end. A small area in front of the pavilion was | converted into a sort of tropical garden, planted with palms and flowers. Thers | were four heavy cannon at each corner | of the garden; with their muzzles pointed upward, as though defending the dais. Immense stands covered with bunting were situated at the side of the position of honor and ten invited guests witnessed the review theréfrom. The guard of honor at the pavilion was chosen from troops who have returned from the Chinese expedition. Prominent among them was a company of turbaned zouaves in their picturesque uniforms. The Czar followed the carriages. He first rode around the maneuver grounds and inspected the immense army, and then ascended the dais and took a seat with Mme. Loubet on his left. Then the Czarina seated herself, with M. Loubet on her left. The Czar wore the uniform of a colonel of the Prevbrakenski regi- meat of the Guard. President Loubet wore evening dress, with the Grand Cor- don of the Order of St. Andrew. The Czarina was dressed in black. Mme. Loubet wore a light biue dress. Behinc them, closely. packed on benches in the | pavilion, were the officers of the Czar's fleet and French generals and admirals in gala uniforms, glittering with various insignias and decorations. Miles of the Scldiery. The spectable before the Czar was one of the most imposing ever witnessed.
