ST. JOHNS and SPRINGERVILLE, A. T. : S3 "I am glad to bo again in the city of Buffalo and exchange greetings w ith her ywpie, to wnose generous hospitality I am not a stranger, and with whose good will I have been repeatedly and eing- ully honored. Today I have ad ditionai satisfaction in meeting and giving welcome to the foreign represent atives assembled here whose presence and participation in this exposition have contributed m so marked a degree to its interest and its success. "To commissioners of tbe Dominion of Canada and the British colonies, the French colonies, the republics of Mex- $500,000 jicoand of Central and South America, and the commissioners of Cuba and Porto Kico, vho share with us in this undertaking, we give the hand of fel lowship and felicitate with them upon tl-e triumphs of art, seinee, education and manufacture which the old has be queathed to the new century. "Expositions are the timekeepers of progress. They record the worlds ad vancement. They stimulate the energy, enterprise and intellect of the people and quicken human genius. They go into the home. Thtiy broaden and brighten the daily life of the people. They open mighty storehouses of infor mation to the student. "Every exposition, great or small, has helped to some onward step. Compar ison of ideas is always educational; and as such instructs the brain and hand of man. Firendly rivalry follows, which is the spur to industrial improve ment, the inspiration to ustful invention and to high endeavor in all departments of human activity. It exacts a study of the wants, comforts and even the whim3 of the people and recognizes the euicacy 01 ingn quality anu new prices to win their favor. "The quest for trade is an incentive to man of business to devise, inyent, improve and economize in the cost of production. Business lite, wheather among ourselves or with other people, is ever a sharp struggle for success. It will be done tho less so in the future. Without competition wo would be cling ing to tho clumsy and antiquated pro cess of farming and manuincture and the methods of business of long ago, and the twentieth would be no further advanced than the eighteenth century. But tho commercial competitors we are, commerciel enemies we must not bq. "The Pan-American exposition has done its work thoroly, presenting in its oxhibit evidences of the highest skill and illustrating the progress of the human family in the western hemis phere. This portion of the earth has no cause for humiliation for the part it has performed in the march of civiliza tion. It has not accomplished every thing; far frcm it. It has simply done its best, and and without vanity or boasfulness and recignizing the mani fold achievements of others, it invites the friendly rivalry of all thCPowers in the peaceful pursuit of trade and co nmerce, and will co-operate with all in advanc ing the highest and best intererests of humanity. The wisdom and energy of of all the nation's are none to great for the world's work. The success of art, science, industry and invention is, an international asset and a common glory. "After all, how near one to the other is every part of the world I Modern in ventions have brought into close rela tion widely seperated peoples and made them belter acquainted. Geographic and political divisions will continue to exist, but distance have been affaced. Swift ships and fast trains are becoming cosmopolitan. They invade fields which a few years ago were impenetr able. The world's products are changed as never before, and with increasing transportation facilities come increas ing knowledge and trad?. Prices are fixed with mathematical presision. by supply and demand. The world's sell ing prices are regulated by market and crop reports. Ws travel greater dis tances jn a shorter space of time and with more ease than was ever dreamed of by the fathers. "Isolation is no longer possible or desirable. The same important news is read, tho in different languages, the same day in ail Christendom . The tele graph keep us advised of what is oc curring every where, and the press fore shadows , with more or less aecuracj' the plans and purposes of the nations. Market price of products and of secur ities are hourly known in every com mercial market, and the investment of the people extended beyond their own national boundries into the remotest parts of the earth. "Vast transactions are conducted and international exchanges are made by the tick of the cable. Everv event of I H a o o a t3 interest is immediately bulletined. The quick gathering and transmission of news, like rapid transit, are of recent origin, and are only made possible by the genius of tbe inventor and the courage of the inventor. "It took a special messanger of the government with every facility known at the time of rapid transit nineteen days to go from the city of Washington to Now Orlinswith a message to general Jackson that the war with England had ceased and a treaty of peace had been eigned. How different now. "We reached General Miles in Porto Rica by cable and he was able thru the miiHtary telegram to stop his army on the firing line with the message that the United States and Spain had signed a protocol suspending hostilities. We knew almost instantly of the first shot fired at Santiago, and the subsequent j surrender of the Spanish iorces was known in AVsshington with in less than an hour of its consummation . The first ship of Cevera's fleet was hardly emerged from that bistoroic harbor when the fact was flashed to our cap ital, and the swi.t destruction that fol lowed was announced immediately thru the wonderful medium of teleg raphy. "So accustomed are wo to safe and easy communication with distant lands that its temporary interruption even in ordinary times vesnlt in loss and incon venience. We shall never forget the days of anxiety waiting and awful sus pense when no informatinn was per mitted to be sent from Pekin and the diplomatic representatives or tne na tions in China, cut off from all com munication inside and outside of the walled capital, were surrounded by an angry and misguided mob that threat ened their lives; nor the joy that thrilled the world when a single mes sage from the government of the Unit ed States broutjh thru our minister the first news of the safety of the be sieged diplomatp. At the beginning of the nineteenth century there was not a mile of Bteam railroad on the globe. Now there are enough miles to make its circuit many times. Then there was not a line of electric talegraph ; now we have a vast mileage traversing all Inads and all seas. God and man have linked the nations together. No nation can long er lie indifferent to any other. And as we are brought more and more in touch with each other tho less occasion is therefor misunderstanding . and the stronger the disposition when we have differences, to adjust them in the court of arbitration, weich is the noblest forum for the settlement of internation al disputes. "My fellow-citizens, trade statistics indicates that this country is in a state of unexampled prosperity. The figures are almost appalling. They show that we are utilizing our fields and forests and mines and that we are furnishing profitable employment to the millions of workmen thruout tho United States, bringing comfort and happiness to their homes and making it possible to lay by savings for old age aud disibility. "That all the people are participat ing in thi3 great prosperity is seen in every American community and shown by the enormous and unprecedent deposits in our savings banks. Our duty is tho care and security of these depos it, and their safe investment demands the highest integrity and the best business capacity of those in charge of these deposits of the people's earnings. "We have a vast and intricate busi ness built up thru years of toil and struggle, in which every part of the country has its stakes, which will not permit of either nenlect or of undue selfishness. No narrow, sordid policy will subserve it. The greatest skill and wisdom on the part of the manufactur ers and poducers will be required to hold and increase it. "Our industrial enterprises which J have grown to such great proportions affect the homes and occupations of the people and the welfare of coun try. Our capacity to produce has de veloped so enormously and our prod ucts have so multiplied that the prob lem of more market requires our urg ant and immediate attention. "Only a broad and enlightened pol icy will keep what we have. No other policy will get more. In these limes of marvelous business energy and gain we ought to be looking to the future, strengthening the weak places in our industrial and commercial systems that we may be ready for any storm or strain. "By sensible trado arrangements which will not interrupt our home pro duction, we shall extend the outlets for our increasing surplus. "A system which povides a mutual exchange of commodities is manifestly essential to the continued healthful grovth of our export trade. We must not repose in fancied secutity that we can forever sell everything and buy lit tle or nothing. If such a thing were possible it would not be the best for un or foi those with whom we deal. We should lake from our customers such of J their products as we can use without harm to our industries and labor. Reciprocity is the natural outgrowth ot our wonderful industrial devplup tnent under the domestic policy now firmly established. What we produce beyond our domestic consumption mustr have a vent abroad. The excess must be relieved thru a foreign outlet, and we should sell everywhere we can and buy wherever the buying will enlarge our sales and productions and thereby make a greater demand for home labor. "The period of exclnsiveness is past. The expansion of our trade and com merce is the pressing problem. Com mercial wars are unprofitable. A policy of good will and friendly trado relations will prevent reprisals. Reciprocity treaties are in harmony with the spirit of the times; .measures of retaliation are not. "If perchance, some of our tariffs are no longer needed for revenue or to en courage and protect our industries at home, why should they not be employed to extend and promote our markets abroad. "Then, too we bare inadiquate steamship service. New lines of steam ers have already been put in commis sion between the Pacific coast ports of the United States and" those on the western coast of Mexico and Centra and South America. These should be followed up with direct seamship lines between the eastern coast of the United States and South American ports. ''One of the needs of the times is di- j rect commercial lines from our vast fields of production to tbe fields of con sumption that we have but barely touched. Next in advantage to having the thing to sell is to have the conven ience to carry it to the buyer. "We must encourage our merchants marine. We must have more ships. They must be under the American flag, built and manned and owned by Americans. These will not only be profitable in a commercial sense; they the' will be messengers of peace and amity where they go. "We must build the Isthmian canal, which will unite the two oceans and give a straight line of water communi cation with the western coasts of Cen tral and South America and Mexico, r.ie construction 01 a racinc caDie can not be longer postponed. In the furtherence of those objects of national interests and concern you are performing an important part. This ex position would have touched the heart of that American statesman whose mind was never alert and thought ever constant for a larger commerce ind a truec fraternity of the republics of the new world. His broad American spirit is felt and manifested here. He needs no iudentification to an assembly of Americans anywhere, for the name of Blaine is inseparably associated with the Pan-American movement which finds this practical and substantial ex pression, and which we all hope will be firmly advanced by the Pan-American congress that assembles this autumn in the Capital of Mexico. "The good work will g on. It cannot bo stopped. These buildings will dis appear; this creation of art, and beau ty, and industry will perish from sight, but tiieir influence will remain to "Make it live beyond its too short living With praises and thanksgiving. "Who can tell the new thoughts that have been awakened, the ambitions fired, and the high achievemeetsx that will be wrought thru this exposition? Gentlemen let us ever remember that our interests is in concord , not con flict, and that our real eminence rests in the victories of peace, not those of war. We hope that all who are repre sented here ma' be moved to higher and nobler effort for their own and the world's good, and that out of this city may come, not only greater commerce and trade for us all, but more essential than these, relations of mutual respect confidence and friendship, which will deepen and endure. "Our earnest, prayer is that God will graciously vouchsafe prosperity, happi ness and peace to all our neighbors and like blessings to all the peoplos and powers of earth." LEON CZCLGOSZ IS SENTENCED. The President's Assassin Will be Electrocuted in the Week Beginning Oct. 28th, 1901, Breaklng Down on Reaching Au&urn-ffad to he Dragged Cried and Yelled. The question of changing In auguration day from March 4th to about April 30th, seems to have met with general approval, not so much on account of the admit tedly great advantage ot the better weather that will prevail at the latter date, as because it will lengthen the session of Con gress from three to five months. This session is now so short that it is practically impossible to do anything at it except pass the ap propriation bills for the ensuing year. A historic relic was shipped from "Washington to the Buffalo exposition, several days ago, that will have more than a pass ing for thousands of visitors. It is; duty to impose Buffalo, Sept. 26 Tbe police arrangement as at the city hall, where Leon F. Czolgosz was to receive his sentence this after noon for the murder of President McKinley were even more string ent than during the trial of the assassin. Half an hour before the time announced for the opening of the court the courtroom was filled and the doors locked. After 1:30 no one but officials connected with the court of newspaper men were allowed to enter. About 25 of the 150 spectators were women. The police cleared the hallway of the crowd, and no more were allowed to come to the second floor of the building. At five minutes after 2 o'clock the prisoner was brought into court shackled to Detectives Geary ond Solomon, accompanied by Asst. Supt. Cusick and Jailor Mitchell. Czolgosz was perspiring and seemed nervous, tho he did not tremble and his gait was steady. Czolgosz took his seat and mop ped his brow his handkerchief. When he settled back in his chair his wonted listless attitude was absent. He kept his eyes wide open and looked about him occas ionly, but presently he dropped his eyes to the table ahead of him and assumed his former listless air. The strain on him was in tense evidently, as was attested by a few sighs and heaving of the chest. At 2:12 Justice, White took his seat and announced the open ing of court. "Have you any legal cause why sentence should not be pronounc ed against you?" Asked Dist. Atty. Thos. Penny. Cz olgosz did not. Czolgosz could not or pretended he could not hear the question It was repeated- to him twice, and then he said something in an inaudible tone. The judge in verted and explained what was ment by the question. "I have, nothing to say about that. "rwas the reply. judge Titus: I think he ought to be permitted to make a state ment in exculpation of his fam ily." Turning to to the prisoner again Judge Titus held a brief conference. Turning to the court, counsel for the defendant said. . "He says no other person had anrthing to do with it; that no other person new of his commis sion but himself. His father or mother or no one else knew any thing about it." The prisoner closed his lips, stared straight ahead of him and awaited the courts pronounce ment of his doom. The sentance was brief. "Czolgosz," said the court, you have committed a grave crime against the state of your union in the assassination of our beloved Pressident. After learn ing all the facts and circum stances in the case of twelve good men have pronounced you guilty of murder in the first degree. You saj- that no other person abetted you in the commission ot this terrible act. The penalty is fixed by statute and it becomes nry sentence upon Cadwell, of JErie county, and twenty-one deputies, arrived in Auburn at 3:15 a. m Sept- 27. The prison is only about fifty yards from the depot. Awaitinjr the arrival of the train there wai a crowd .of about 200 people. Either for the fear of the crowd or from sight of the prison, Czol gosz's legs gave out and two deputy sheriffs were compelled to practically carry the man into the prison. Inside the gates his condition became worse and he was dragged up the stairs andHh-to-the main hall. He was placed j in a sitting, posture on the bench. while the handcuffs were remov ed, but he fell over and moaned and groaned, evincing the most abject terror. As scon as the handcuffs were unlocked the man was dragged in to the principal keeper's office. As in case of alt prisoners the officers immediately proceeded to strip biin and put on a new suit of clothes. During this operation Czolgosz cried and yelled, making the prison corri dors echo with evidence of his terror. The prison physician Dr. John Gherin, examined the, man and ordered his removal to the cell in the condemned row, which he will occupy until he is taken to the electric chair. The doctor declared that the mnn was suffering from fright and terror, but said that he was shamming to some extent. The collapse of the murder?- : was a surprise to every one. SJn" route from Buffalo he showed no indication of breaking down. He ate hearty of sandwitches and and smoked cigars when not eating. He talked some and ex pressed regret for his crime. He said: "I am especially sorry for Mrs McKinley." He reitered his former state ment that he had no accom plices and declared that he never heard of the man under arrest in St. Louis, who claimed to have tied the handkerchief over his hand, concealing the pistol with which the president was shot. He says the handkerchief was not tied. He went behind the Temple of Music, arranged the handkerchief so as to hide the weapon and then took his place in the crowd. To Jailer Mitchel he sent this message to his fath er: "Tell him I am sorry I left him such a bad name." Tax Collector's Notice. Taxes for 1901. an old shoe, eighteen in. long and ; you.
