2 THE KANSAS CITY JOUEJSrAL. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5. 1899. LABOR'S BAY OFF BUSINESS PRACTICALLY SUSPENDED IN NEW YORK. THERE WAS NO UNITED PARADE MONEY IT WOULD 1LVE COST SAVED KOR STRIKERS.

Picnic Took, the Place of the Pnrnde Celebration at the Crave of Henry Georne Expected Trouble nt Cleveland Did Not Occnr. NEW YORK, Sept. 4. Labor day was favored Tilth a bright tun and brisk breezes and thousands took advantage of the fine weather to enjoy a day's outing. Buslntis was practically stopped.

In addition to the exchanges and binks, all the large department stores were closed. Flags were lllng from all public buildings and In some instances there ias a lavish display of bunting. Although there nas no united parade of labor organizations, there -were lesser pa-rades all oer the citj. The Central Federated Union concluded to omit the usual Labor da parade because so many workmen. Including the tailors and those in the building trades are not emplojed.

It costs to $1,000 to hold a parade, and this sum, it Wd: thought, could better be used in helping out the unemployed and those on strikes. In place Of a parade the combined unions held a picnic at Sulier's Westchester park, where there were various contesti. for prizes, followed by speech-maklns." Hundreds of worklngmen" and others belonging to single tax and labor organizations in this city nnd vicinity gathered today at Henry George's grave in Greenwood cemetery. The party was accompanied by nearly all the members of the George family. Among the organizations represented were the Manhattan Single Tax Club, the Brotherhood of Progressive Painters, Progress Club, of Harlem, Brass Workers' Association 31, Bluo Stone Cutters' and naggers' Assembly S418, and local assemblies belonging to five district assemblies of th Knights of Labor.

Memorial exercises followed, after which the wcrklngraeji's Henry George memorial committee placed a handsome floral design on the order of the Knights of Labor on the grave. On the floral emblem were written in flowers the four last words In Henry George's book "Progress and Poverty:" "They call and call." Lenvenwortn.

Movement on Toot to Secure Brn Howitzer Captured by Fnnston's Men at Cnlnniplt.

TOPEKA, Sept. 4 (Special) Governor Stanley and the ollicers of the Twentieth Kansas will make an effort to secure from the war department the cannon captured at Calumplt by the regiment. If they are successful, the gun will be planted In the state house grounds to remind the people of the prominent part the gallant Kansas boys took in the Philippine war. It Is possible that an act of congress will be required to get the cannon If so, the Kansas delegation will support the measure solidly and there Is little doubt of their ability to secure Its passage. Some time ago the Kansas G.

A. R. department decided to try to get a gun captured during the recent war, and from it manufacture b-ulgcs to be given the volunteers upon their return from Manila. Governor Stanley wrote to Colonel Met-calf, of the regimert, asking him and General Funston to uc their Influence in securing a gun captured in the Philippines, as It would be more appropriate for the Kansas volunteers than a gun captured in Cuba. Upon the receipt of the governor's letter General Funston wrote the assistant adjutant general in General Otis' headquarters at Manila this letter: "I beg to be allowed to suggest that a very appropriate gift for the regiment to take home with it would be the small brass rifle howitzer captured by a detachment from the regiment under my immediate command when we flanked the enemy out of their trenches at Calumplt on September 27.

This gun Is of no use whatever, except as a relic, and I am sure that tne officers and men of the regiment, as well as the citizens of Kansas, woula sreatly appreciate it as a memento of the campaign." In reply, the adjutant general said that, under the law, the commanding general In the Philippines had no legal right to grant the request. The law forbids the war department even from granting such a request. He suggested that congress might pass a law giving the cannon to Karsas The correspondence between General Funston and the adiutant general was re ceived by the governor to-day. Along with It was a letter from Colonel Metcalf relating to the matter. It follows: "Dear Sir: I have the honor to Inclose communications with reference to securing a cannon from these islands.

I think that It the proper application is made at Washington the cannon captured by this regiment at Calumplt might be had, even if it should take an act of congress. I would state also that I purchased here a small Moorish cannon of very ancient origin and appearance weighing 2C0 This I will try to get transported to Kansas. It may answer the purpose for the plans suggested by the G. A R. I am very anxious that the brass cannon referred to in General Funston's letter should land eventually in the state house jard In Topeka." WHOLESALE ROBBERY.

F- Topeka, September 1S THREE OF A STRIPE ALTGELD, TARVIN AND LENTZ SPEAK IN NEW YORK. COOPER UNION WAS CROWDED MR. 1ETZ SAYS IMPERIALISM IS THE CHIEF ISSUE. Sixteen to One Question, He Snys, Una Rent Settled Afrulnnldo Enlo- elzeil as One of the Heroes of the World Radical Revolutions. NEW YORK.

Sept. 4 The Chicago platform Democrats held a meetimr to-nlcht In Cooper Union, addressed by ex-Governor John P. Altgeld, of Illinois; Judge James P. Tarvin, of Covington, Ky and Congressman John J. Lentz, of Ohio Each one of them declared for the renomlnatlon of William J.

Bo an and against the pollcj of President McKinley In the Philippines. Cooper Union was crowded to its capac-itj with an appreciative audience. Judge Tarvin, the first speaker, had to pause many times on account of the enthusiasm of the audience, which applauded every part of his speech. He said. In part: "We protest against legislation that tends to interfere with or to obstruct the operation of natural law.

We protest against legislation that tends to distribute the fruits of labor in a manner different from that provided bv natural law. We prefer that the fruits of men labor be distributed In accoi dance with the laws of God Instead of the laws of Hanna "The Chicago platform Is a demand that every man be given a chance to do the best he can for himself in the race of life without legislative discrimination against him The Democratic party as organized to-day is In line with the principles of the Chicago platform. As long as it remains In that position, tne laborer and the producer ought to support it; when it drops from that position the laborer and the producer ought to oppose it "I believe the Democratic organization of the nation (not of this city) stands to-day as representative of the laborers and the producers I believe It will so stand In 1900 and that we will have then the same battle as in 1S3S and under the same leader." in Introducing John P. Altgeld, the chairman compared hnn to the late Henry George, as "a man with the courage of his convictions, a man who had the courage to pardon the alleged anarchists of Chicago, despite his knowledge of ths unpopularity of his act Former Governor Altgeld's reception was flattering. Nearlv the entire audience sat attentive until Governor Altgeld finished his speech.

Now and again the applauded The seats were omptvlng quickly when Mr. Altgeld sat down, but at the urgent appeal of the chairman to "hear something good from Ohio," thoe who had arisen Fat down again and Congressman John J. Lentz, of tjoiumDus, was introduced. "Imperialism Is the Issue of to-day." said Mr. Lentz, nfter a dissertation on the gold and silver standards "We do not talk about the 1G to 1 question now, because It Is not the main question.

That question has been settled No Democrat In New York tQ-day would dare to trj and carry even an election district on the Issue of the gold standard. "When the great citadel of American liberty Is being destrojed it Is time for us to abandon the question of monopoly and to rush to the rescue of Institutions founded by Jefferson and fostered bv Lincoln. If you murder Aguinaldo vou destroy one of the heroes of the world. (A roar of cheers Interrupted the speaker.) Whv should, not Aguinaldo bo honored4 and cheered for ajlng, with Patrick Henrj, "Give mo liberty or give me death'?" Mr. Lentz criticised the administration sevcrelv and declared the war against the Philippines more cowardlv and brutal than the war of George III.

against the American colonies He averred that Thomas Reed left the speakership and congress because he could not afford to risk his reputation by participating In the pol'cj of the McKinley administration In Its scheme of "benevolent assimilation," otherwise "criminal annexation "If we have gone into the business of selling men, why not sell the state of Maine? England and Canada would like to buj the state of Maine, as it would in crease their seaport facilities vastly. If the next census shows a million people there, Mr. Altgeld, Judge Tarvin and I can go to England and Canada and sell them with the state for $20 apiece And some dav. perhaps, we may be able to sell New York If we can find a nation wishing to buv. Pshaw, I thouch that Idea of dealing In men had been shot to death at Appomattox." Mr.

Lontz referred to the president as the "helpless and defenseless pres'dent, with a mortgage of $190,000 on his backbone He did not blame Mr. McKinley, and "could only suppose that Mr. McKinley had obtained his nomination at St. Louis by agreeing to let Wall street run the financial policy of the government. It was in endeavoring to keep that agreement that he outraged tho constitution of this country." "McKinley's a traitor," shouted a voice.

"No." replied Mr. Lentz, slow'j-, "I do not think that. I think he Is only an agent." More than once Mr. Lentz tried to leave off talking, but he had the audience wrought to such a pitch that they Insisted upon his remaining upon the platform. It was nearly 11.30 o'clock and he had spoken for almost an hour and a half when he concluded.

Resolutions were read Indorsing the whole Chicago platform and each of Its specific details, recognizing William J. Brian as the leader of the Democracy and the exponent of the principles contalaed in tho Chicago platform and pledging the earnest efforts and endeavors of those present to elect him to the preside icj of the Uidted States In declaring that the war against the Philippines is a gross-lv Immoral assault on American nrlninlss of government and a brutal attempt to crush a weak people who are bravely contending for the exercise of the natural and God-given rights of self-government; con-condemning the action of President McKinley In relation to the Philippines as a cross perversion of the power given him and calling upon all lovers of liberty to do their utmost to preserve the spirit of freedom that Inspired the fathers of the country and which is being threatened by the un-American desire for foreign conquests, declaring in opposition to entering into alliances with foreign, kingdoms and empires; holding that all trusts are destructive of Industrial and Individual liberty, favoring the abolition of all special fi is a yonth renewer.

Senator Hanna Headed for the Ohio Campaign He Will Attend to McLean.

LONDON, Sept. 4 -Rejuvenated by a course of treatment at German baths and a summer's visit to Europe, United States Senator Hanna has returned to London for a few days' rest, previous to sailing for the United States on board the American line steamer St. Louis, on Saturday next. Senator Hanna is hurrying to Ohio to participate In the opening of the Republican campaign at Akron. From a conversation with Senator Hanna, the correspondent hero of the Associated Press gathered that tho zest with which the senator is looking forward to the conflict In Ohio 13 due to the fact that he recognizes that the coming campaign will not only furnish the real answer to the question of the country's indorsement of the national administration, but behind the candidacy of Sir.

John R. McLean for the governorship of Ohio there is an ns-plratlon for tho second place on the Democratic presidential ticket with Mr. Bryan, and, falling of election, a futuro contest for the United States senatorship from Ohio In such a competition Mr. Hanna is anxious to participate, because it means the opening of the national campaign of 1900 "I do not concede," Mr. Hanna said, "that the congressional election in the late Representative Bland's district In Missouri last week affords any test of American sentiment In relation to national issues, for the election of a Democrat was a foregone conclusion, and the fact that the Democrats are calling it a test case gives ground for the suspicion that they made the majority to sulr themselves.

In Onio, however, we have an opportunity to make an open fight; and I am anxious to assist all In my power In bringing the issue to a successful conclusion. The Republican party, nationally and locally, has no cause to fear the combat on the Issues as now presented Mr. McLean has undoubt edly loaded his double-barreled fowllng- plece; and that word has a peculiar Ohio meaning, for In this contest ho Is looking both to the vice presidency and the United States senatorship, which I understand has long been his ambition. It Is evident now that the Democrats of Ohio as well as of the nation are ready to make use of tho anti-expansion and free silver issues Just as General Hancock used the tariff Issue In 1SS0 that Is, seek to make local issues of them. They will use each cock in whatever pit they think it will fight best, free sllv cr in the Southwest and anti-expansion in Now England.

"President McKinley, In his speech at Pittsburg, has already outlined the executive's policy of expansion, and I have no doubt as to what we will do In congress In supporting that policy. Bryan and Cro-ker have already come to an arrangement hoping to secure the offices In 1900, but It is my own opinion that the Philippine war will be concluded and the congres sional policy determined before the first vote is ca3t in 1900. "I cannot see how, with Mr. McLean as a candidate, the Democrats can say much about trusts," Senator Hanna continued. "Tho free silver issue Is evidently preferable to them.

That question has already been threshed out In the United States The country is abundantly prosperous, and the only trouble now Is to secure trans portation facilities, more crops and more merchandise. All over Europe I found evidences of tho wisdom of our policy in maintaining the cold standard, and with regard to the Philippine Islands, President McKlnlej'ii speech on the latter subject will find a'ready response Tvith the American people iild I am returning home to renew the fight firm in the belief In the success of such Republican principles, TILLMAN AT PROVIDENCE. Snya the Sonth Will Not Send Any Troops to FlKht the Filipino. PROVIDENCE, R. Sept.

i -The second meeting of tho New England Bimetallic League at Crescent park this afternoon was very largely attended and representa tive Democrats from all the New England states occupied tho platform. General A. J. Warner, of Marietta, was Introduced as the "oldest warrior In the silver cause in the country." He argued that the silver question was considerably larger than the one Incident of 16 to X. The silver question at the bottom Is a question of an adequate money supply, not one of color or specific gravity.

He referred to the alleged corruption of the last presidential election and declared that the laboring people furnished the money by which they themselves were corrupted by allowing a few to great fortunes which were used to wage war upon labor. Resolutions declaring for free silver, against militarism, and urging the nomination of W. Bryan for president were unanimously adopted Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Carolina, was then Introduced and his address was punctuated with cheers throughout. He stated that the Spanish war was worth all It cost If it has proved nothing else than that the South will fight for the stars and stripes as eagerly as the North He declared that unless the policy of the government is chtnged soon, the republic Is doomed and will become a government of oppression of the many by the few.

He praied New England for what It had done for the country, but called attention to the fact that there were people enough South and AVcst of the Potomac and the Mississippi to elect a president without tho aid of New Engltnd Ho said that while he believed, and al-wajs would, that the negro Is not the equal of tht white man, still he believed in giving him his legal rights, barring the political side. He said the negroes did not know enouFh to vote, and in South Carolina the white people had succeeded in disfranchising them until they can read and write. Mr. Tillm-tn asked: "If it was right to free Cuba because Spain was shooting Cubans to death, how is it to be reconciled with the fact that the United States, which now owns the Philippines, Is shooting the Filipinos to death? He said that he bc-Heved the president Is honest in his belief that ho Is doing his duty, but claimed that he only looked at the one fact that the United States bought the islands from Spain He asked where tho honor was In the Philippine war. "The South and South Carolina will at any time send as many men in proportion to Its population as any state to any war of decency and honor, but It will not send a regiment to the Philippines SILVER T0JTHE REAR.

ihere were loud cries for a speech, but the president merely bowed and waved his white Fedora hat. Rear Admiral Sampson, who occupies the suite of rooms directly over those of the president enjoved tho serenade equally as well as Mr. McKinley.

JAMES SONS, RECALLED OLD TIMES SWEDISH-AMEItlCAS HOLD A AT CHELSEl PAIUC. Hnndreds of Foreign Born Lliiten to Sonera and Muilc They Ued to Hear in the Old Country-Better Oreanlzatlon. It was a quiet, happy and prospjrous looking crowd of men, women and chll dren that strolled about In the shade at Chelsea park jesterday. There was no balloon ascension, no fat men's race, no high jumping, nor was there a prize onred for the best looking baby on the grounds, but the 1,000 or more people found plenty of enjoyment just the same. There was little to interest a person who could not, speak the Swedish language, however, but then such a person had no business at Chelsea park jesterday.

This little summer resort was the scene of the annual picnic and celebration of the Swedish-Americans of the two Kansas CItjs. A programme of music and speeches was rendered In genuine Swedish stjle. A Swedish band plajed Swedish music: a Swedish nunrtette hmz Swedish songs and the orations of the daj- were delivered In the Swedish language. Although these reople cast aside the En glish language for the daj-, they concluded their exercises bj- singing "America" in English, und from the enthusiastic manner in which they made their voices ring It' was apparent tnat tne stars ana stripes were held ah sacred by the celebrators as are the colors of their native land. The celebration jesterday will take the place of the Forefathers' day celebritlon this ear.

The latter Is generally held on September and Is In honor of the landing otlhtITt on. soil. It is claimed that tho first native of Sweden set foot In this country on Sep- tember 6. 163S The Swedish-Americans, havo celebrated tho event as Forefathers. daj-.

However, It was decided to hold a sort of old-fashionel basket picnic this year and make an effort to better organ ize. All of the Swedish societies and churches of the two cities were represented. The speakers advocated organization, for, social features more than anything else." Among those Who 'delivered addresses were: Hev. Mr. Eric Swan, Hon.

The large barn and outbuildings on Jack Ward's farm, near the Country Club, were destroyed by fire this morning about 2 o'clock. The occupant3 of the dwelling house were aroused by the great noise made bj- the stock In the stable and when Mr. Wnrd got outside the house the barn was a mass of flames, which soon spread to the outbuildings. The neighbors turned out en masse and by dint of hard work prevented the flames from spreading to the dwelling. The origin ot the fire Is unknown, but Is attributed to tramps.

The loss will probably amount to $5,000. MUSIC AD THE DRAMA. ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR TO-DAT. GrtAND Hoyt "A Milk WJilte Flag," 15 m. AUDITORIUM Wooawjr Mock conptnr In "Tte Charity Ball." 8 16 p.

Miss Kennark's Ann Crugcr was a well nolsp.l nnd Hvmnathetlc Imnersonatlon. Mr. Granger's John Van Buren was exceed ingly- sure ana uninteresting except in me midnight scene following the ball where he did some good acting. It is a little late to be surprised by the members of the Woodward companj-, but there were two distinct surprises last night at least to some in the audience.

The first ot these was the very appealing Impersonation of Phi His Lee by Miss Mncaulej-. who has hitherto appeared rather fal'e and Ineffective in emotional work. She was genuinely pathetic Hst night. The other surprise was tho Improvement in Miss Dunns acting, especially In the third act, where "he had a bit of serious work to do. Mr.

Green gave arother of his Interesting char-ncterlzntlons a3 Dick Van Buren, denoting the nervous tension of the Wall street operator with artistic fldelltj-. Mr. Greene should, however, overcome his peculiar mannerism in reading. He starts his sentences on a high pitch and In explosive tones. He Is alwajs distinct, which is a matter of satisfaction, but ho rob3 himself of opportunities for effective modulation.

A very artistic sketch, that of "Belts, tho Orgtnist," was given by Mr. Enos. Mr. Davis made his usual hit as Alex Itoblnson. and Mr.

Fulton made an acceptable Cruger. The co-nedy of Miss Berkeley as Mrs. De Pujster and Mr Beresford as Judge Knox, was a genuine treat. These characters have rarely ben plajed so well on the local stage, and they htve frequently been made muth less satisfactory. Miss Winona Bridges gave an appropriate representation of Mrs.
