Administration of President Roosevelt Unreservedly Approved. i I PROVIDENCE, R. I., Oct. 9.—In a short but harmonious session to-day the Re- publican State Convention nominated the following ticket: Governor, Charles Dean Kimball, Provi- dence; Lieutenant Governor, George L. Shepley; Secretary of State, Charles P. Bennett; Attorney General, Charles F. Stearns, Providence: General Treasurer, Walter M. Read, Gloucester; for Con- gress: First District—Melville Bull of Newport; Second District—Adin P. Ca- pron of Smithfield. The platform affirms the national plat- | form of 1900; approves unreservedly the | | administration of President Roosevelt, especially his attitude toward Cuba, and declares that “his record as the nation's executive merits for him the nomination | for President by the national convention of 1804.”" The platform points out the benefits Rt 2o i | which it declares have accrued under the h v. R. A. Christopherson protective tariff system, and while insist- ing upon the stability of this policy recog- nizes ‘'the fact that new or changed con- ditions may naturally lead, from time to time, to a readjustment of tariff rates.” These questions are left to the judgment of a Republican Congress. Trusts, in so far as they result in cheap- ened products should not be condemned, but the evils growing out of such aggre- gations of capital should be summarily dealt with. The Philippine policy of the administra- tion is approved and the conduct of our army in those islands is praised. Organi- zation of the workingmen of this country for the betterment of their condition, for the securing of fewer hours of labor and the increase of their compensation is ap- proved. STOCKHOLDERS ATTACK MONTANA MINING DEAL Charge That Directors of Company Fraudulently Bonded and Leased Valuable Property. BUTTE, Mont., Oct. 9.—Burt E. Kemp of Boston, at the head of a number of Eustern stockholders of the Basil and Bay State Mining Company, together with the Glass brothers of Butte, have in- stituted proceedings in the courts to set aside the deal through which F.

The hall is beautifully decorated and the booths about the place where articles and refreshments were sold were well patronized. s - Mackay Estate in New York. NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—Surrogate Thomas to-day granted an ancillary letter of ad- ministration on the estate of the late John ‘W. Mackay, who died in London July 20, 1o Mackay's son, Clarence. The petition states that the estate of Mackay in. the State of New York amounts to $2,500,000, and there are no creditors, either in this State or elsewhere. Britt-Gardner Match Is Discussed. The sudden making and equally sudden Breaking of the match between Britt and Gardner stirred up a big commotion' yes- terday among the boxing managers. The San Francisco Athletic Club of- ficlals were charged with an attempt to spoil the Britt-Erne fight. Willle Britt, who looks after the business interests of his brother, at once assumed all respon- sibility for the match. He said it was of his seeking and that he made all the over- tures. He did not think it would affect the Britt-Erne match or he would not have proposed it. Manager Harrington asked him expressly if the other club would object and he said no. The club will probably match Turner or Benny Yanger with Gardner, who has al- ready started West. —_——————— Lick High School Tennis Players. The tennis players of the Lick High School will hold tryouts to-day to select the single and doubles players who will meet Lowell a week from to-morrow at the courts of the California Tennis Club.

At the Auditorium Hotel 500 members of the Marquette Club and their guests gathered in the banquet hall, which had been ap- | propriately decorated. Governor B. M. Lafolette of Wisconsin spoke on the achievements of the Republican party since March 4, 1897. The next speaker was Secretary of the Navy Willilam H. Moody, for whom the banqueters arose in a body and cheered enthusiastically. Sec- retary - Moody responded to the toast, “The Navy.” “The Iowa Platform and the was discussed by Governor Albert Cummins of Iowa. He said: In all its length and all its breadth we meant just what we sald. We believe that to the doctrine of protection more than to any other principle of government is due the command- ing position so brilllantly won and so firmly held by the United States in the affairs of the world; that to the policy of protective duties is due, more than to any other policy of the Government, the unequaled manhood and wom- anhood of the people, at once the safety and glory of the republic; that to this fundamental proposition of the Republican party s due, more than to any other economic truth, the marvelous development and unparalleled pros- Tariff” B. name and bless the American home. CHANGES NOW NECESSARY. That changes would become necessary or ad- visable no Kepublican has ever doubted. - The platform was adopted under circumstances that made it clear that the Republicans of Iowa are deeply convinced that the time has come, through the progress of our industries and their changing relations to the commercial world, when modifications of the tariff are im- peratively demanded; and if I do not misin- terpret the signs of the times this belief is shared by - the Republicans of forty-four other States. The whole story is told when I say that we have passed from the abstract into the concrete. We have known that the hour would strike. Why should we be startled when the ringing tones of the bell of progress | alls upon our ears? We do not impeach the schedules as they were writteh—they were inspired by patriot- ism and formulated with intelligence; but if the hand of God instead of the hand of Ding- ley had penned them, the mighty transforma- tions of five years would have unfitted them, or some .of them, for conditions that now exist. There has never been and cannot now be & controversy with respect to the purpose and measures of protective duties, Their purpose is to give the American producer a fair chance to take the American market at a fair Ameri- can. price, so that the American laborer can work at American wages and American capital | can be rewarded with an American profit, and thus originate and develop those American in- dustries and enterprises. that nature has fitted | us to carry on. Their measure obviously is the sum that will accomplish this purpose. To make them less will defeat the purpose and to muke them more will admit a result as incon- sistent with the doctrine of -protection as it is hostile to the common welfare, SHIELD FOR HONEST LABOR. Tested by these criterions, both as to pur- pose and measure, no intelligent observer can doubt that upon some of the most important products of the United States the dutles are too high; and it is the mission of the Repub- lican party to reduce them so that they will again be in harmony with the principle out of which they spring. I doing this, the party | simiply pursues the even tenor of its way, condemning With cqual emphasis - the proposal on the one hand to make tarfff duties an in- | strument of unlawful profit and upon the other | to make them the instrument for mere collection | of revenue, There haye been times unques- | tionably when duties. howev-r high, were pow- | erless to infiict injury upon the people, for, | under the generous stimulant of protection, our development has been so rapid and so general that competition, abundant and effective, has kept American prices at a fair level. But thoss days have passed, possibly forever, and I speak but the sober truth when I say that now, with | &.full demand at home, the producer can and force more than a reasonable price for the thing he produces. Protection will =tand as a shield | for honest labor and a mine for lawful profits, {but it shall not be used for a sword for industrial piracy or as a mint for jllegal gain. We all know that no harm can come to any legitimate undertaking through any re- adjustment of tariff schedules made by a Re- publican Congress and approved by a Repub- lican President. The men of capital, the pra- tected producers of the country can have but one thing to fear and they know it better than any of their fellowmen. - It is the suprem- acy of the Democratic party, with its follles of free silver and free trade, With its narrow views and weak execution of the powers of government. Depend upon it that capital will not imperil its rightful interest because it is asked to surrender its usury. It has been sald by illustrious leaders of the Republican party that a modification of the tariff is not a remedy for the trusts. I take this opportunity to say for the Repub- licans of Iowa that they wholly agree with this view and have not proposed to effectually Tepair the wrongs that are perpetrated unlawfal combinations by any readjustment or abatement of the tariff schedules, UNLAWFUL COMBINATIONS. It is to be regretted that we have not found a word that will more accurately poin out the thing more than the term ‘‘trust No thinking man can doubt that large cor- porations are absolutely necessary to carry on, with convenience and economy, the -growing business of ‘the world, and however great a corporation becomes, if it develops In & nat- ural way through the recognized laws of com. merce and through the energy and sagacity of its managers against the competition of others engaged in like business, it ought not to be the object of disfavor or condemnation; on the other hand it should be the subject of just pride and mark the rising tide of a better civilization. These are not the corporations which ex- cite public indignation, and which, whether we desire it or not, must be examined and discussed in this campalgn. The corporations or_combinations to which the Iowa platform refers are those which have been brought together not to outstrip competition in a fair race, but to destroy competition by the actual obligation of independent establishments and which accomplish their purpose either by pur- chase or piracy. They are invariably accom- panied by the lssuance of vast quantities of stocks which have no basls save the audaeity of promoters and which serve two ends equaily objectionable; first, to enrich beyond com- prehension the movers for the nefarious en- terprises, and second, to cloak the enormous profits which may_'be extorted from their helpless victims. While I believe that the rlan that they adopted is as weak as it is vicious, and that the ordinary operaticn of the immutable laws of commerce would in the course of time overthrow. them, nevertie- less it is the duty of the Government to hasten their disintegration and downfall by every power within the scope of organized society. DUTY OF THE GOVERNMENT. - ‘There are but two forces that can be trusted to fix prices—competition and. the .regulation of organized government. The latter is totally inadmissible and we must reserve the former. It is therefore the high'and imperative duty of the Government to so adjust its laws that there will be the least possible motive for the destruction of comovetition. The experience of the Dast few years has shown us that ambitious spirits are able to establish and maintain monopolies in some of the important products of industry, and with respect to these things it is self-evident that the tariff duties, In some measure, are a shelter, because they deprive.us of the op- ity to {nvite competition from other Senator Burton of Kansas, who was to have spoken on “Republicanism in the West,” unable to be present, and his p;:_‘:;' ;,'um by ex-Governor t- man of nsas.

(o] HIDDEN DANGERS [MINER SWALLOWS |DREAM OF LOVE N NORTH HALL Propped Floors and De- fective Grates Form a Menace. Professor George C. Edwards Fears a Disastrous Conflagration. LA BERKELEY, Oct. 9.—That the decay of old North Hall at the University of Cal- ifornia has caused considerable trepida- tion on the part of faculty and students, even before it was condemned by Fire Chief James. Kenney, is a fact, though not generally acknowledged by the au- thorities at Berkeley. For some time past there has been a feeling that the building is unsafe and that the possibii- ities of a disaster within its walls were greal. Some time ago, when the present apart- ment occupied by the co-operative store in the basement of the building was be- ing remodeled, it was noticed that the floor above sagged so that a heavy tim- ber brace, running the length of the building, had to be erected as a support. It is belleved that any heavy rush on the part of the students at an alarm of fire, ior example, would prove too severe a strain on the propped floors. Professor George C. Edwards, who was a student at the time that North Hall was bullt, had the following to say con- cerning the condition of the building: Not being an architect, I cannot give any expert opinion on the condition of North Hall. We have all grown so accustomed to the daily rontine within its walls that 1 fear we do not stop to consider the condition of those walls, now mere than thirty years old. T can say, however, very definitely, that the buflding is In danger as long as they use grate fires instead of stoves. With the wood aged as it s it could very easily ignite from the heat of the dilapidated Franklin grates in use in many of the rooms. SODALITY CLUB TO GIVE A NEW BIBLICAL DRAMA Dramatic Society of St. Ignatius Church to Stage “The Last King of Judah.” The Gentlemen's Sodality Dramatic Club, connected with St. Ignatius Church, will present a drama entitled “The Last King of Judah” on Wednesday evening, October 29, in St. Ignatius Hall on Van | Ness avenue, The characters of the play, which was written by a Jesuit fath- er, will be interpreted by the members of the sodality, which is composed prin- cipally of graduates of St. Ignatius Col- lege. The sodality has heretofore presented such high class plays as o “Damon and Pythias rors,” “Henry IV, and others, which have mét with success before crowded and critical audiences. The play tells a Biblical story of the time of Nebuchodonosor, the lines being masterpieces of thought and the situa- tions most thrilling. The members of the club have been diligently rehearsing for some time under the guidance of Profes- sors Nichols and Webster, and the stag- | ing of the piece will be perfect. Rev. J. P. Hickey, 8. J., spiritual director of the sodality, promises that no expense will be spared In making'it a thoroughly ar- tistic representation. = The following named constitute the committee of ar- rangements having the affair in charge: John E.

The British steamer Poplar Branch was prevented from going to sea yesterday by order of Customs Collector Stratton until rapers could be served upon Captain A. Anderson, the master of the vessel, in an action brought against him by the United States Attorney for permitting two Chi- nese members of his crew to escape. The coolles got away while the steamer was on the Hunters Point drydock, hav- g on board a crew of thirty-five Chinese sailors, who were not entitled to land. At 6 o'clock last Wednesday evening the customs inspectors mustered the crew and found all present. The crew were mustered again yesterday morning and two were found to be missing. The mat- ter was immediately reported to the Col- lector, who ordered the steamer detained, the vessel having cleared, until District Attorney Woodworth could prepare the . papers under section 9 of the statute ap- proved September 13, 1888, which imposes a fine of $500. for each person knowingly landed or permitted to be landed by the master of any vessel without authority of the Federal authorities. In such cases the United States officials must prove the affirmative before a con- viction may be had. ———— MARKET INSPECTOR IS DISMISSED FROM PLACE Health Board Removes Joseph River and Appoints Samuel Campbell & to Succeed Him.
