NEW AND GRAVE MATTER Says We Must Avoid the Temptation of Undue Aggression and Aim to Secure Only Results as Will Promote Our Own and the General Good. Omaha, Oct. 12. —The third day of Omaha’s peace jubilee and “President’s Day” at the Transmissifsippi exposition opened with a lowering sky. About 10 o’clock, however, the sun burst forth in all its radiance, making the hearts of thousands of people feel easier. It was after 10 o’clock when the pres- idential party, escorted by President Wattles and members of the entertain- meat committee in carriages, started for the exposition grounds. They were headed by a platoon of mounted police, while the presidential party were es¬ corted by the board of governors of the Ak-Sar-Ben, mounted, and dressed in their regalia. The party proceeded directly to the grand plaza on the bluff tract of the ex- position, where, on the music pavilion, the formal exercises of the day occurred. In the first carriage was the presi¬ dent, with Gordon Wattles, president of the exposition; then followed General Miles, General Greely, General Joseph Wheeler, Secretaries Gage, Bliss and Wilson, Postmaster General Smith, the members of the diplomatic corps, secre¬ taries of legation and press representa¬ tives. President McKinley probably never received a more entusiastic greeting than that which awaited him at the ex¬ position grounds and a great crowd thronged about the huge platform from which the president made his address. Hardly which one sentence was spoken by him did not evoke from the people cheer upon cheer. After President Wattles had intro- duced the distinguished guest of the ex- position it was fully 5 minutes before the subsidence of the applause permit- ted the presdeut to begin speaking. Speech by McKinley. President McKinley’s address was as follows; “It is with genuine pleasure that I meet once more the people of Omaha, whose wealth of welcome is not alto¬ gether unfamiliar to me, and w r hose warm hearts have before touched and moved me. For this renewed rnani- testation of your regard and for the cordial reception of today my heart re- spouds with profound gratitude and a deep appreciation which I cannot con- ceal aud which the language of compli- uient is inadequate to convey. “My greeting is not alone to your city and the state of Nebraska, but to the people of all the states of the transmis- sissippi group participating here, and I cannot withhold congratulations on the evidences of their prosperity furnished by this great exposition. If testimony were needed to establish the fact that their pluck has not deserted them and that prosperity is again with them, it is found here. This picture dispels all doubt. “In an age of expositions they have added yet another magnificent example. The historical celebrations at Philadel¬ phia hibits and Chicago, aud the splendid ex¬ at New Orleans, Atlanta and Nashville, are now part of the past, and yet in influence they still live and their beueficient results are closely inter- woven with our national development. Similar rewards will honor the authors and patrons of the Transmississippi ex- position. Their contribution will mark another epoch in the nation’s material advancement.

E temptation of undue aggression and aim to secure only such results as will pro- mote our own and the general good. It has been said bv some one that the nor- mal condition of nations is war. That is not true of the United' Statos. We never enter upon war until every effort *« wt«ho»t if ta. exhausted. Ours has never been a military govern- nient. Peace, with whose blessings we hare been so singularly favored is the national desire and the goal of every American aspiration * Spirit of Conquest. “Hitherto, in peace and in war, with additions to onr territory and slight changes in our laws we have steadily enioreed the spirit of the constitution secured to ns by the noble self-sacrifice and far-seeing sagacity of our ancestors, We have avoided temptations of con- qne6t in the spirit of gain with an in- abidmg creasmg faith ioye m for their onr stability, ins itutions we have and made the triumphs of our system of goT- *™ ment m the Pro^ 88 “d prosperity human our people , an mspiration . to the whole race.

The banners of war were unfurled, the best aud bravest from every section re- gponded; a mighty army was enrolled: north and the south vied with each other in patriotic devotion; science was invoked to furnish its most effective **I Know Not What the Truth May Be, I Tell the Tale as *Twas Told to Me TOCCOA, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 14, 18g8. weapons; factories were rushed to sup¬ ply equipment; the youth and the vet- eran joined in freely offering their ser- vices to the country; volunteers and regulars and all the people rallied to the support of the republic. There was no break in the line, no halt in the march, no fear in the heart, no resistance to the patriotic impulse at home, no successful resistance to the patriotic spirit of the troops fighting in distant waters on for¬ eign shores. Great Record Made. “What a wonderful experience it has been from the standpoint of patriotism and achievement. The storm broke so suddenly that it was here almost before we realized it. Oar navy was too small, though forceful with its modern equip¬ ment and most fortunate in its trained officers and sailors. Our army had years ago been reduced to a peace foot¬ ing. We had only 19,000 available troops when the war was declared, but the account which officers and men gave of themselves on the battlefields bas never been surpassed. The man- hood was there and everywhere. Amer- ican patriotism was there and its re- sources were limitless. “The courageous and invincible spirit of the people proved glorious, and those who a little more than a third of a cen- tury ago were divided and at war with each other were again united under the holy standard of liberty Patriotism banished banished party party feeling; feeling; $50,000,000 $50,000,000 for for the national defense was appropriated without debate or division, as a matter of course, and as only a mere indication of our mighty reserve power. “But if if fViio this io is tma true of r\¥ fVin the beginning of the war, what shall we say of it now, with hostilities suspended and peace near at hand, as we fervently hope? Matchless in its results, unequalled in its completeness and the quick succes¬ sion with which victory followed vic¬ tory, attained earlier than it was be- lived to be possible, so comprehensive in its sweep that every thoughtful man feels the weight of responsibility which has been so suddenly thrust upon us. Valor of Americans. “And above all and beyond all, the valor of the American army and the bravery of the American navy and the majesty of the American name stand forth in unsullied glory, while the hu¬ manity of our purposes and the mag¬ nanimity of our conduct have given to war, always horrible, touches of noble generosity, charity, Ohristain sympathy and grandeur aud examples of human which can be never lost to mankind. Pkssion aud bitterness form- ed no part of our impelling motive and it is gratifying to feel that humanity triumphed at every step of the war’s progress. “The heroes of Manila, Santiago and Porto Rico have made immortal history, They are worthy successors and descen- dants of Washington aud Greene; of Paul Jones, Decatur and Hull, and of Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Logan; of Farragut, Porter and Cushing, and of Lee, Jackson and Longstreet. “New names stand on the honor roll of the nation’s great men and with them unnamed stand the heroes of the trenches and the forecastle, invincible in battle and uncomplaining in death. The intelligent, loyal, indomitable sol¬ dier and sailor and marine, regular and volunteer, are entitled to equal praise as having done their whole duty, whether at home or under the baptism of foreign fire. United Wisdom Now. “Who will dim the splendor of their achievements, their who withhold from them well earned distinction? Who will intrude detraction at this time to belit¬ tle the manly spirit of the American youth and impair the usefulness of the American navy? Who will embarrass the government by sowing seeds of dis¬ satisfaction among the brave men who stand for ready to serve and die, if need be, their country? Who will darken the counsels of the republic in this hour requiring Shall the united wisdom of all? we deny to ourselves what the rest of the world so freely and so justly accords to us? “The men who endured in the short but decisive struggle its hardships, its privations, whether in the field or camp, on ship or in the siege, and planned and P ’ 0 fSi' \ ni1 ' rect ’ of those , who . won a P eace whose h ^ on isJ^t unknown au £ ZG f ^\ n^ 0t aD< ? v,° a t ? rough whl ^ °5 favor seemed J**&**g ^eelTwaf^To for ble88ed - We did not and ourselves was our constant Draver n T 7 w JL ....... rb^ 9 __ whu-h L are laid at f our door . by .

TT US tO , ASSUIU0 . the Philippine Debt. DAY HAS PRECISE ORDERS Head of Our Commission Not Disposed to Consider Principles Forming; the Base of the Protocol Signed Last August at Washington. Paris, Oct. 12.—The setting yester- day of the joint peace commission of the United States and Spain was devoted, according to The Gaulois, to an exami- nation of the solution w^|ih it is possi- ble to give two questions m the patrocol. The Philippine question, The Gaulois adds, was discussed incidentally, the United . States commission seeking to impose a system of compensation for c i a i ms connected with the entire group by assum i U g the debt, provided Spain guarantees the Cuban debt, Xhe Spaniards it furthe r appears, -w-ish. the United States to assume the Cuban debt and hand over to Spain all the war material in Cuba aud Porto Rico. The discussion, according to Gaulois, was very animated. Judge Day, the president of the American commission, and Senor Mon- tero Rios, the president of the Spanish commission, having received precise in¬ structions from their respective govern¬ ments, the Americans consider that they cannot discuss the principles form¬ ing the base of the protocol, to which the Spaniards reply that the protocol was under signed at a critical moment and so pressing a necessity that it cannot be considered as expressing the sovereign will of a free nation. WOMAN ESCAPES HANGING. Consent Verdict Announced In tlie Famous McGuirt Trial. Columbus, Ga., Oct. 12.—Mrs. M. L. McGuirt, arraigned in the superior court of Webster county on a charg%of hav¬ ing murdered her husband, John A. McGuirt, has escaped with a sentence 0 f two years in the penitentiary. The trial of the aged woman has just come to a close at Preston. After the jury had deliberated more than 24 hours it became evident that a mistrial would result. It is understood that 11 men of the jury were in favor of a verdict of involuntary manslaughter and one for murder, with a recommendation for mercy. The attorneys for the p-osecution and defense held a consultation, as a result of which a consent verdict was an- nounced The court directed a verdict of voluntary manslaughter, and Judge Littlejohn sentenced the woman to two years in the penitentiary. The defense of the woman was that the deed was done in self defense and that she had no intention of killing her husband. Her statement of the alleged hardships and abuses heaped upon her by her husband was very pathetic. TWO STATES QUARANTINED. Governor Johnston Shuts Out Both Louisiana and Mississippi. Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 12.—Gov¬ ernor Johnston has issued a proclama¬ tion establishing quarantine against the entire states of Mississippi and Louisi¬ ana. Upon the issue of the governor’s pro¬ clamation Colonel McDonald telegraph¬ ed the war department urging that the furloughs of the First and Second Ala¬ bama regiments be extended from Octo¬ ber 19 till November 17, for the reason that about 200 men of these regiments are in Mississippi and could not enter Alabama from that state so long as the quarantine is in force.
