THE MORNING NEWS , —— President. f M TMKFJ* 17.881. PARKER SPEAKS ON MILITARISM SMALL ARMY AND NAVY the plea made by the demo cratic CANDIDATE. Judge Parker Was Given an Ovation Both at Cooper Union and Car negie Hull—C heerinK Was Loud and Prolonged—Advocated n Re turn to Smaller Armed Forces and Such an Entente With All Na tions as to Render War Improb able. ■ New York, Nov. 2.—Judge Parker addressed meetings at Cooper Union and Carnegie Hall, and was given a reception at the Democratic Club to night, which was the busiest evening programme arranged for him during the campaign. At both meetings the candidate was given great ovations and at the recep tion following nearly every member of the club and many invited guests shook hands with him. Judge Parker will make a hurried tour of Connecticut to-morrow, visit ing Bridgeport, New Haven and Hart ford, at each of which places he will speak. He and his party will travel by special train and return to New York the Bame night. One of the most rousing receptions of the campaign was given Judge Parker at Cooper Union, where he ad dressed a large meeting under the au spices of the German American Parker Union. The candidate was substituted for former President Cleveland, who was scheduled originally to address the gathering, but was compelled to cancel the engagement. Others Spoke in German. Other speakers at the meeting were Carl Schurz. the presiding officer, George Von Schal, Sigmund Zeisier of Chicago. All of the addresses were in German, except that of Judge Parker. Under an escort of mounted police men in charge of Inspector Brooks, Judge Parker arrived at Cooper Union at 8:23 o’clock. Before his arrival there was a display of bombs and oth-. er fireworks in the square north of the building. The candidate was warmly cheered by the crowd about the build ing. He entered by the platform door on Fourth avenue. He was shown to the si age by officers of the union, in charge of the meeting, and met Mr. Schurz in full view of the audience. They clasped hands In a greeting that lasted fully a minute, while the crowd looked on and applauded approvingly. The reception given the candidate was but a. repetition of others that have been given him in New York, and in fact, on every occasion where he has made public addresses. The demon stration continued eight minutes be fore he was permitted to begin his speech. Demonstration fop Hearst. Cooper Union was filled long before the meeting opened. The first great demonstration was at 7:45 o'clock when Mr. Schurz arrived. A few min utes later the meeting was called to order by Herman Ridder, who intro duced Mr. Schurz as chairman. The presiding officer has not been well and he spoke with considerable effort, mak ing his only address of the campaign. Mr. Schurz was cheered heartily hroughout his speech and received a tremendous ovation at the conclusion. He then introduced George Von Schal, who made a fervent appeal to the vot ers of German descent to preserve the liberties “for which you have paid so dearly and which are threatened by a party satiated with greed for power and lust for pelf.” It was during this appeal that Judge Parker entered. The ovation given the candidate was far beyond that accorded to those who had pre viously appeared. There was a dif ference, too. in the character of the applause given Judge Parker in com parison with that for the other speak ers. Judge Parker’s speech was almost entirely devoted to the subjects of im perialism and militarism, and the sub jects seemed peculiarly popular with the audience of German Americans. He was interrupted frequently with prolonged applause, and once when he paid homage to Mr. Schurz personally as one who had "felt the blighting power” of militarism, Mr. Schurz came forward and shook Judge Parker by the hand and thanked him for his words. The audience stood up and shouted its approval. President Can Canse War. Judge Parker, after discussing the moral effect of the policy of conquest, as shown in disregard for the principle th at governments derive their Just powers from the consent of the gov erned and In the attempt to dominate and suppress public discussion and opinion, spoke of the great power wielded by the President in the con duct of our foreign relations, saying: 'The Constitution provides that only Congress shall have power to declare wur. But it is within thee power of the President, If he desires war, to create, by his conduct of our foreign ’pintlons, situations which make war inevitable. It may happen that on ‘■■•'■h an occasion.

You may judge for yourselves how dangerous is such a power under the influence of the imperialistic tendency, w tin its lust of conquest and domin ion, its love of adventure and military achievement and its proneness to im p*J*® lve action and dramatic display. „Tu . J m P eri a!istic tendency armed with that power will be all the more dangerous when it is at the same time armed with an ample supply of fight ing material ready for action. Until a very recent period we enjoyed the priceless blessing of living in perfect peace and security without bearing the burden of a large army and navy costing untold millions a year—a unique privilege of which other na tions, groaning under heavy military and naval expenditures, envied us most heartily. Our imperialists now tell us that this must cease to be so. According to them, we must have a much larger army in proportion than before, and our Secretary of the Navy assures us that we must have the big gest navy in the world, whatever the ccst. “Have you ever seen anybody able to give you an intelligent and satis factory reason why we must have those things? Some say that we must have them to protect our commerce. I ask then, has there ever been a sin gle moment since the year 1812 when our commerce suffered in the least from the w r ant of a big navy to pro tect it? Others say we must have it to enforce the Monroe doctrine. Was there ever before or since our Civil War, a single occasion when the Monroe doctrine failed, so to speak, to enforce itself without our having a big army or big navy?” Judge Parker alluded to the Vene zuelan affair as showing that we do not need big armies or navies for the enforcement of just demands, but that whether armed or unarmed ev ery European power will go to the ex treme of concession to avoid a serious quarrel with this republic. None Wants to Attack Us. “Every sensible man knows that there is not one of those powers which entertains the slightest idea of attack ing us; that they will readily comply with whatever w r e can decently ask for. and that if we are to have any conflict with any one of them we shall have to bring it on ourselves by un endurable provocation. The simple reason is that, aside from what moral love of peace they may cherish, they can hardly afford to have a serious struggle with so resourceful and per tinacious an antagonist as this repub lic, in view of the possibility of dan gerous complications at home. "Our absolute safety from foreign Russian Ambassador to England, Who Strove Successfully for Peace. aggression, as every reasonable person will admit, being thus assured, I may ask my sober-minded countrymen for what purpose large armies and big na vies—the characteristic tool and favor ite ornament of empire—may be want ed by us. Being entirely unnecessary for defense, is the greatest navy in the world, or any big navy, the cost of construction and maintenance of which will run into the hundreds of millions, needed or intended for any other purpose? If not, then the build ing and maintenance thereof is a wan ton waste of the people’s money, wicked and unpardonable. But if it is designed for any other purpose, what is that purpose? The world abroad will but too probably see in it a design of aggressive movements on our part. This would have a most un fortunate effect. Whether we enter tain such plans or not —and I am con fident a large majority of the Amer ican people do not entertain them—the world will always be distrustful of our professions of a peaceable disposition. However smooth our speech may be before peace congresses and arbitra tion courts, the world will see In the building of large navies, utterly un necessary for defense, a threat of armed aggression—a transformation of the old Republican peace power Into an empire preparing for war. The In evitable result will be an additional element of apprehension and disquiet among nations. This republic will thus be a leader of a backward and most baneful movement, Instead of leading In humane projects.

THOUGHT IT WAS A SHAM BATTLE THE TRAWLERS ENJOYED IT UNTIL THEY FOUND RUSSIANS WERE SHOOTING AT THEM. Jury at the Coroner’* Inquest nt Hull Found That the Heath of the Five Fishermen Wns Due to the Shots from the Russian Warships. It Wns Sneh n Non-Committal Ver dict as the British Government Had Requested. Hull. England. Nov. 2.—“ That George Henry Smith and William Leggett were, at about 12:30 a. m., on Oct. 22, while out Ashing with trawls aboard the British steam trawler Crane, with Board of Trade marks exhibited and regulation lights burning, killed by shots fired without warning or provo cation from certain war ves sels at a distance of about a quarter of a mile.” This is the text of the jury's verdict at the*coroner’s inquest on the fisher men victims of the North sea tragedy. At the request of the British govern ment, represented by the Earl of Dy sart, solicitor of the treasury, this conservative award was rendered by the first court of inquiry preceding the sessions of the international tAbunal. 'The government asked the jury not to find a verdict of wilful murder or manslaughter because “delicate nego tiations are going on, which should not be made more difficult; and ttjey ought not to let any one think they had pre judged the case before having heard both sides.” In consequence, the jury simply set forth the facts proved by the evi dence of physicians, experts on explo sives and the trawlers themselves. The testimony consisted of medical evidence, by which it was proved that the death of Smith and Leggett was the result of shell and machine guns; then an expert identified fragments of shells by private marks which he said were undoubtedly Russian; and the COUNT BENCKENDORFF stories of captains and mateß of the trawlers. Story of the Fishermen. These latter related that while they were engaged in their regu.'ar work the ships of the Baltic fleet in two squadrons emerged suddenly from the haze and throwing the glare of their searchlights on the Gamecock fleet, without warning and disregarding the flare of green lights, the fishermen’s signal, and though within actual speak ing distance of one vessel, commenced a cannonade, which the fishermen at first, not realizing the danger, enjoy ed, thinking it was a sham fight. The firing lasted half an hour. To each of these witnesses was put the vital question regarding the pres ence of a foreign vessel or torpedo boat. Each with equal positiveness denied that at any time preceding or during the firing was any Japanese, British or any foreign vessel seen by them or the accompanying fishing fleet. It was also stated that there were no Japanese among the crews, and that none of the trawlers carried arms of any description. ADMIRAL DEWEY MAY BE A COMMISSIONER.

Condition* Hail Become Almost In tolerable In Some Section*. Augusta. Nov. 2.—A steady rain this afternoon and to-night put an end to the longest fall drought In this part of the state and for many miles around in South Carolina on record. There has not been a soaking rain since the middle of July and no ap preciable rainfall since August. The Savannah river is below four feet in the day time and navigation down the river has been stopped for more than two months, causing great hardship to cotton shippers en route.

RAIN BROUGhTrEUEF IN COAST COUNTIES, Brunswick, Ga„ Nov. 2.—For the first time in over two months this section of the state was visited by a heavy rain to-day, and it was welcomed by the people generally. The drought has been unprecedented and considerable damage has been done in this and nearby counties. Re ports received in the city yesterday were to the effect that cattle were dy ing over the county for the want of water and grass. On account of the dry spell the growth of grass has been greatly reduced, aud cattle, which has been grazing on grass alone for years, is suffering considerably. In Wayne county the condition is said to be serious. The Turtle river, for the first time in twenty years, is reported to be absolutely dry. The river is a fresh water stream and farmers have been watering their stock there for years. Usually, at this sea son of the year, the river Is from one to three feet deep, but now, around Waynesville, there is not a drop of water in the river. Wells, which have never before been dry, are not giving a drop of water, and the people, as well as cattle, Is suffering as a result. The rain to day, however, being a very heavy one, will no doubt helri conditions. DROUGHT WAS BROKEN IN AMERICUS SECTION. Americus, Ga., Nov. 2.—The drought prevailing in this section of Georgia without intermission since the middle of Augusta was broken this afternoon, a good rain falling to-night.

Griffin is now In the country, seven miles northeast of Camilla, at the home of his wife's brother, T. E. Butler. He arrived there a few days ago in a very dilapidated condition of body and mind, scarcely knowing his own name. He only remembers of places where he has been since leaving Savannah the name Cordele, and as yet can give no intelligent account of his departure from Savannah on Sept. 25, nor of the details of the trip and his experi ences while wandering through the country to this county. It Is reported here by one person who went out to see Griffin yesterday that he was a mental wreck, hts cloth ing in rags and he was scarcely recog nizable, but that he was certainly the same E. H. Griffin who at one time in the past years ran a store at Ca milla. and some years ago led to the matrimonial altar at this place Miss Josie Butler. Mrs. Griffin arrived here last night from Quitman and was driven at once in a carriage out to see her long-mlss ing husband.

Payne, a traveling man of Greensboro, may recover, though his condition pre vents his removal to the hospital now. Side of Reservoir Tumbled. The north Side of the reservoir, which is thirty feet high, tumbled over, falling upon the home and barn of Martin V. Peeples. There were about 800,000 gallons of water in the reser voir, and the mad stream rushed northeast to the Southern Railway cut and thence to Belo’s pond, a distance of a half mile. Four tenement houses were washed several hundred yards. D. L. Payne, Injured, said he was awakened by the crash and thought he was being swallowed by an earth quake. "I cannot describe my experience while I was floating on the mad, rush- J ing stream of water,” said Mr. Payne, after his removal to a house near the place he was found. There W'ere several miraculous es capes. A colored man and his wife, named Uavls, after their house was turned over, floated upon the stream of water on their bed to the railroad Junction, a distance of 500 yards. He lodged upon a heap of rubbish and walked out without a scratch. The Winston aldermen met this morning and made arrangement* to bury the dead and care for the In jured. The Winston reservoir was built In 1881 by a company composed of sixty citizens. Ten year* ago It and en tire water plant was sold to the city. Soon thereafter ten feet was added to the hlght of the reservoir, which was full of water when the oollapse came. The city has Just had a large stand pipe completed. It Is full of water, and the town Is prepared to supply every demand. Great Crowd Gathered. Despite the early hour, the news of the disaster spread over the city In an incredibly short space of time, and within thirty minutes between 590 and 1,800 people surrounded the spot. An hour later the entire city was aroused and excited. Before the extent of the damage was known, and whilo It was thought that perhaps the members of the Peeples’ family were the only ones who had lost their lives, cries of distress were heard farther doivn the street. The thousands of gallons of water that flowed from the reservoir formed a pond In the vicinity, and it was thought that several persons might have been drowned In thl*. The Ctty Council met and decided to drain the" pond In order to recover any bodies that might He beneath the water. The reservoir was situated about five blocks from the center of thq business district of the city, and was surround ed bv a number of residences and several stria!! stores. It Is understood that the structure had been condemn ed. but the city authorities had failed to remove It. TON OF DYNAMITE SHOOK THE TOWN. EKtilotlol WHIi DlNHMtroun Itenulti n( M*. Vernon, !V. Y. Mt. Vernon. N. V., Nov. 2.—The ex plosion of over a ton of dynamite un der the Bond street bridge here at 1 o’clock to-day shook the city und the surrounding country within a radius ot five miles, probably killed at least one person and Injured nearly forty others, two of whom may die. The man supposed to have been kill *ed was an Italian in charge of the dynamite. He was seen at his post of duty just before the explosion, and no trace of him has since been found. There were 2,300 pounds of dynamite stored at the side of a deep rock cut, which was used for blasting a path for additional trucks. The explosion tore a hole in the ground eighty feet deep thut is now full of water from a hidden spring, wrecked the Bond street bridge over the railway tracks and broke all the windows within a quarter of a mile. The force of the explosion, as is us ual, was downward, but the up heaval along the sides of the cut hurl ed large stones for blocks. Many houses were shifted from their founda tions, walls were stripped, of plaster and furniture was splintered. Most of the injured were caught by fulling ceilings and walls in the houses near by. Stoves in stores and dwellings were overturned and many fires were started, but In each case the flames were quickly extinguished. Chief of Police Foley at once ar rested William F. Ryan, foreman of a gang of workmen employed on the blasting operations, and many wit nesses are now held while an Investi gation Is being made Into the cause of the explosion. Hiire n ii’m Faille Opened. Norfolk, Va., Nov. 2.—The weather bureau’s cable from Nags Head to Manteo, Roanoke Inland, N. C., was opened at 8:30 o’clock this morning. The first message was a greeting from the Manteo Chumber of Commerce to the chief of the weather bureau In Washington. The laying of the cable is In line with the extensive Improvements the government haa undertaken In the service between Norfolk and Hattera*. Ten thousand dollars were appropri ated for the purpose of bettering the coast communication, and an entire new line Is being built.

Hack to the Aeroiinutle Concourse After nn tlmtuceessl’al Start—Then It Went Off to Ui a Little Aerial Navigation I pon Its Ow n Respon sibility—Nobody Aboard It. St. Louis, Nov. 2.—While Capt. Baldwin of San Francisco, Inventor of the “California Arrow” airship, and several assistants were returning the airship from the place It landed In Bt. Louis county, after Its unsuccessful flight, to the World's Fair aeronautic concourse, the lead rope was dragged from the hands of Baldwin's assistants and the airship broke loose and soared Into the air. When last seen the airship was drift ing rapidly In a northwesterly direc tion. The airship escaped Just as the per sons towing it Into the concourse had reached the Immediately vicinity of the place. There was a trolley line to be crossed, and it was necessary to pass the prow of the craft over the trolley wire and catch the down-hang ing rope and then release the rope that hung from the rear. In the darkness those manipulating the ropes miscal culated and both the front and rear ropes were released at the same time. In a twinkling the buoyant airship, from which had been taken twenty-five pounds of ballast, and which was not even encumbered with Knabenshue, shot up and was gone. ' Mr. Baldwin said he thought the condensation of gas due to cold of the night air would bring the airship safe ly to the ground within an hour. Two Accidents Occurred. Two accidents to-day prevented the long distance flight arranged by Capt. Thomas 8. Baldwin of San Francisco, to test the staying powers of his air ship, the "California Arrow,” and what was to have been a speed demonstration around a prescribed quadrangular course of about fifteen miles developed into a drifting exhibi tion, the Arrow finally landing In a corn field four miles west of the aero nautic concourse at the World’s Fair, after the motor had been disabled by an exhaust cap being blown off and t'he vessel had resumed its flight after ■the first breakdown had been repaired. The first accident resulted In the Ar row being brought to the ground about a mile and a half northeast of the concourse. Repairs were made and the airship resumed its flight. Th# ac cident was repeated and the Arrow drifted before the wind until brought safely to the ground. SUING GEN.' MATOS. How President Cnatrn Will Get Even With the Re voln lion tat.
