Concerning s action in the canal treaty with

h.id an Important part, he says: "Thai was a
time w&en the hour and th«» man arrived to

hot on the anvil of opportunity and forged as
perfect a bit of honest statecraft as this gen
eration has seen."
Secretary Hay ranks first among tiie world's
diplomats, and has had no superior In American
history. His court residence In Europe gave
him a. clcse acquaintance with men and meth
ode IB the diplomatic world. He la recognized
every* *• a typical American, lor his di

CALLS FOR A BILL OF PARTICULARS.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Now that 'The New-York Herald" has de
clared that Roosevelt and Imperialism are synony
mous terms. I think It wouid be a good scheme
to ask "The Herald** to define imperialism, and let
us know what it means. I suppose the idea. It In
ttaia to convey is that Roosevelt (having the
oourage of his honest convictions as to any Una
of policy the best Interests of the country required
will t— mm the role of dictator and force the legis
lates and Judicial powers of the government to
1 « r A. to It; that bo Is paving the way to mon
archical Ideas, based upon the specious fact that
the country has outgrown the. Constitution, and that
such conduct will deprive the citizens of their con
stitution*! liberty, etc Now "The Herald" people
certainly know that this U - wholly false presen
tation of political Issues. It mlgat be well to de
mand cf ti*xn to tell us IT that is what they mean;
ana. if cot, to tell more plainly Just what they do
*~"The Htrald" having profe»sed fear of danger in
"Tfcsj Bsraid" having professed fear of danger in
RaoMvalts election, because of alleged "Imyerlal

declared that the only remedy Is the election of
Parser, ccnsdtntionaiUt, 6houl<l be made to give

THESE WILL ALL VOTE FOR PARKER.
To the Ed.tor of Tne. Tribune.
Sir: Would It not be a proper thing for the
Democratic Club, which has assumed, the task of
xcalsuunlng the Constitution of the United States,
to look Into Its own ranks and better the conditions
that exist In the Southern States, a sample of
which baa been prominently brought to the atten
tion of the civilised world la the State of Georgia
this week?
The only way. it seems to me, that respect can
be bad lor th* Const:: _:. : laws of the gov
ernment is first to respect the laws and keep or
der in the immediate environment of the Individual
citizen. As these eemi-civUized barbarian of Geor
gia will unquestionably all vote for the Democratic
candidate, it would be no mure than wise and pa
triotic on the pan of this Democratic Constitution
rentieman of New-York to begin, like charity, "i>t
none." There Is no American but what deprecates
•ad detests the crime for which these colored men
were arrested, triea and condemned, and they
would in a few days have been executed according
10 law, had" there been in the community a respect
or regard for tee decencies or life or fur the laws
(it their State. The excuse of these Georgian bar
barians will be that acts mien as they perpetrated
will strike terror Into evildoers. History and ••*-
perience nave Drover: the reverse. It will create
peater animosity, and instead of diminishing race
haired It win become more jirominent, and the
Caned States, through the acts or tho individual
States, will b<r»m» disgraced In "the eyes •>' the
world, and ■ ■■ will be disarmed in calling any jth^r
cation to an account for similar acts. Indeed, I
<*.subt whether any -nation outside of the savages
was ever guilty of such acts as this mad mob of

OFF FOR THE COUNTRY.
Girl of Eleven Acts as Escort on
Long Railroad Journey.
Six mall sisters between five and thirteen years
old cams very near missing their fortnight in the
country this year. There were two reasons. There
is little money left ln the treasury of the Tribune
Fresh Air Fund, not enough yet for next week a
parties, and. second. it la against the policy of the
fund to let children travel without an escort, and
the lust party in that region for the season had
gone before their letter of Invitation was received
from West Stockholm. N. Y. This child letter to
the host explains the conditions:
We received your welcome letter, and we all
jumped for joy as we read about us coming
to tho country. i didn't eat my dinner, but
run to The Tribune with the letter. It Is
about eight miles from my home, and I walked
it. As 1 came there I was disappointed. The man
said that no children are going that way. and he
la afraid to let us go alone. My mother said that
If you would do her a favor and write to The
Tribune that If they only gave us the tickets my
mother would manage it. I brought three children
to New-York last year, and I stopped at different
stations and took them to New-York, so I think
1 can bring them to West Stockholm. Please write
to The Tribune as scon as you get my letter.
A. W. Tucker, of West Stockholm. N. V.. lost
no time In writing a letter to the manager of the
fund, urging that the 6ix children be sent, and a
man who heard the story of the disappointment
immediately drew a check for the fund to help out.
Lust night this company of six sisters was put
oa the 3:31 p. m. train In the conductor's care, and
the joy or the children cannot easily be described.

[The Tribune Fresh Air Fund wiia the first
movement of the kind In the country. Every
other one. here or elsewhere, has been started
In Imitation of this pioneer. The Tribune cord
ially welcomes all co-laborers In the field, but.
without wishing to depreciate In the least the
work of others, thinks It Its duty to remind
readers that the Tribune Fresh Air Fund Is, so
far as known, the only one in which absolutely
every dollar contributed by the public goes di
rectly to the work of sending a poor child to
the country, keeping him there for two weeks
find bringing him back again. Every $3 insures
such a vacation to at least one child. There
have teen years In which, owing to the magni
tude of the operations of the Tribune Fresh Air
Fund, such a result was insured by every $2 50.
No collectors are ever employed, and all collec
tlcns made for It are purely voluntary. All ex
penses for organization, agents and the general
machinery of the charity are privately defrayed
by The Tribune Itself and by the trustees of the
fund. There are no percentages to collectors to
come out of the contributions of the public, and
no payments to agents, managers, secretary or
others. Every dollar goes straight to the benefit
of a child.]
HARLEM REXTS INCREASE
Building Trades" Troubles Believed
To Be Responsible.
The rents for many apartments !n Harlem have
betn raised about 6 per cent In the last few w«eka.
This Is thought to be the beginning of a genera!
Increase of rentals ln that section, because there
are few vacancies In flatnouses ar.d apartment
houses there, and the demand is sail to exceed
the «uppiy many times. Flats which could be had
last, year for S3O a month are now being rented
Qulckiy at {33 and SSS a month.
The buliding trade troubles of this and last year
are said to be responsible for tha higher rentals
of Harlem. Many flathouse and apartment bouse
plans had to be abandoned, and the work on many
houses in construction has dragged wearily along.
A large owner of Harlem property. In speaking
about the rental situation there, said yest«r
aay: "Th;» ts truly landlord's day. Most Increases
In rentals t^ Harlem are at present ln the avenues
through which the underground road runs."

3fR. HOAR CLINGS TO LIFE.
Rests Quietly,, Although in Serious
Con — Lodge C 'alls .
Worcester, Mass, Aug. 19.— Rockwood Hoar, at
9: 20 o'clock to-niKht, said that Senator Hoar was
resting quietly, and would probably continue to do
so during the night. A little opiate had been
given to Insure rest- The trouble tn his left lung
had not spread, and. on the contrary, has not dis
appeared.
The Senator's condition ia very serious. He has
been Informed of the multitude of messages of
sympathy, and is deeply moved by them. No one
has seen him to-day excepting the members of his
family. Senator Lodge was one of the callers in
the forenoon.
At 9:30 a. m. liockwood Hoar gavp out thwfoi
iowing statement resardir,? th»» ..ondttlon of the
Senator:
The Senator r,;is ha.i a comfortable ni^ht. and ;s
holding his own, t:.^'jj?h he Is very wak. Tlie
chief cause for anxiety Is a trouble with his left
lung, which caused his prostration at the end of
last Wf-ek. This, however, develops hut llttl" ard
if It can be c-ontrolled. and he can retain his
strength for the next two days, there will be a
ground for bo| ••
Dr. Warren R. <Illman. one of the attending
physicians, said:
Yesterday certain symntoms ln Senator Hoar's
condition that have caused alarm wpre somewhat
Improved. Still, the Senator is a very weak man
and ir Is. indeed, uncertain whether hf will be
able to rally
At noon Rockwood Hoar issued the following
bulletin relative ta the Senator's condition:
The Senator Is asleep and has had a fairly com
fortable day. He is holding his own.
Senator Hoar is suffering, it Is belie\-ed. from
a postomatic congestion of th* left lung, dv* to
impaired heart action, and the bell*f Is general
that chances for his recovery are less than they
were early this morning. Doctors who have had
similar cases say that the general breaking down
of the Senator physically, with the congestion of
the left lung. Is a bad omen, and they cay that hla
chances for recovery are very slight unless tha
lung clears Immediately. His left lung is partly
filled with products that the blood &oqb not taka
away as it should tn Its natural course, and these
products are gradually bat surely filling up the
air spaces.
At 11 o'clork this morning th* Senator awoko
and complained of severe pains in his back. It was
the old attack of lumbago returning, and the
nurses that have been watching over the dis
tinguished statesman since he has first taken to
ids K-.i Immediately telephoned Dr. Gllman. the
family physician. The doctor inclined to the be
lief that the return of the old trouble was not s
ba.l ?\gn. as it mljrht be indicative of returning
- th He prescribed for the pain, and about
lock ;""." Senator went off to Bleep, after
UU word with his daughter. Miss Mary
!>.<j.r who has been sway from his bedside only
for i short time in the last week.
I. W. BROWN AT ROXBURY.
Gives Talk on Birds by Invitation of
Miss Gould.
Miss Helen M. Gould has been entertaining Col
onel Isaac W. Brown, the. "bird and bee" man of
Indiana, at her summer home at Roibury. X. J .
for the last few days. Colonel Brown came on
from his home tn Rochester, Ind.. at M!sa Gould's
request. In order to give some of his talks on the
cultivation of birds for the preservation of crops.
He believes that devastating Insects prevail only
where man has Interfered with the regulations of
nature, and every bird has Its particular good. bas
ing his deductions on the Biblical text. "Your
Heavenly Father feedeth them."
The Hessian flies, which now destroy crops, he
•ays, would be the food of quail, I: man did not
kill off the quail. The mosquitoes, he believes,
can be kept In check onl7 by the air scavengers,
such as the purple martin anJ th« swallow. Where
bird boxes are raised and tries* birds Invited to a
home, mosquitoes cease to be a pest. Colossi
Brown says he has demonstrated this fact ln In
diana.
Forests die. he says, where the woodpecker la not
encouraged to remain. The spread of the potato
bug. he declares. U due entirely to the extermina
tion of a certain Colorado songster, once killed for
Its plumajra. He admits that the English sparrow
la a post, but declares that In Its native home. Rus
sia, It Is the preserver of cabbage fields.
Miss Gould has followed Colons! Brown un bis
tramp through the fields, and has expressed Uveiy
Interest In all he said and did. It is Colonel Brown's
hope to educate tho children of this country In
th* interests of agriculture. Th* naturalist* Is a
Civil War veteran who has devoted tho beat part
of his life to tee study of birds an l sea, and
has made extensive lecture trips throughout the
schools of the West. Ho is rtftv-n- - • years old.
over sis feet in height, and Intensely earnest In l.ls
manner. It is suss Gould's hope thai Colonel
Brown will give some of hi* lectures In New-York
next month.
The naturalist was up .it * o'clock yesterday
morning searching 1.-.. fields Of Roxbury. and ex
pressing himself an delighted with what he found.
Miss Gould dld»not accompany htm or. tats "early
bird" excursion. He leaves Roxbury for his hnnw
to-day.
EECTOE STOPS CHUKCH BENEFIT.
Had Indorsed Plan* for Vaudeville Before
He Knew Bishop Burgess's Views.
Freeport, Long Island. Aug. 13.— There was to
have been a benefit entertainment to-morrow even
ing at the Woodclwft Inn. but It has been stopped
until a new beneficiary is obtained. The affair was
to havo been largely vaudeville and the proceeds
were to go to the Church of the Transfiguration,
the local chapel of tho Protestant Episcopal
Church. The Rev. Pelhara St. George Blssell has
charge of the cl a] -1, which Is a missionary church
fostered by the Cathedral of the Incarnation at
GarJeii City. Mr. Bissell has not been long la th«
diocese and was not familiar with the views of
Bi3hop Burgess on the class of entertainments
which may with propriety be held for church ben
efit.
There, are many professional people at t.ie Wood
cleft Inn, anil when they volunteered their ser
vices for an entertainment for the bern '■'.' of the
church there was no question apparently that the
offer could t*<- accepted. Cards were issued and
were freely purchased by the patrons of th hotel
and many" by attendants of the church. It looked
as if the chapel would reap a nice sum from th*
entertainment
Somtj one familiar with iiidhop Burgeaa's views
beard of the proJcJtL-d dhow and made an Investi
gation ar.d then approacheJ the rector and Inti
mated to him that he had best compare the charac
ter of the entertainment with the views which
Bishop Burgess and expressed on the subject. The
result was that the. rector requested the show
be abandoned, ami it will not be held. The money
received for tickets is bemtc returned. It In believed
the r.how will take place next Saturday week for
dome charity.

MWY SEE MOTOR TEST-
Expected to Change Prcseni Method
of Trolley Propulsion.
[BT TELEGRAPH TO TILE .RIBTNK.
Schenectady, N. V.. Aug. It).— A public test
was made to-day or. the tracks of the Schenec
tady Railway Company by the General Electrlf
Company of :i system of trolley propulsion
which is expected to revolutionize present meth
ods. It is what is lenown as a. single phase
alternating compensated motor system. In which
an alternating: current is usrd Instead of a direct
current. The test was witnessed by a large.
number of prominent electrical engineers and
representatives of the technical press.
The car used was equipped with what are
known as compensated motors, which allow of
using a direct current of six hundred volts or an
alternating: current of two thousand volts. The
need of a hipht-r voltage has been felt for some
time, especially for interurban lines. By the use
of this system the alternating current could be
used between cities and the direct in the cities,
where a high voltage is dangerous. It would
also result in a great saving in equipment and
the necessity of transformer stations and power
houses. The alternating current motor, with Its
Inherent advantages of high voltage distribu
tion. is adapted to replace the steam lo.*omotive
on either high speed passenger or heavy freight
work, and must be considered a large factor in
future suburban railway systems. The test was
satisfactory. and demonstrated the practicability
of the system. it is declared.
Practically al! electric road* to-day i?i> operated
by a direct, or continuous, current. a:id rhe motive
machinery under tbe cars Is destgned with i
reference thereto. For llr.es not over a few mil»-s
in length the system works admirably. l"«r lonir. r
ones it is customary to supply an alternating r''r
rent for transmission over the line, ar.d to •
"converters" at the sub-stations to cha.n«t> It into
a direct current before it is admitted to the motors.
That is the plan foliowed with the Manhattan ele
vated roada. As an alternating current is neces
sary for long distance transmission, numerous ex
periments have been mad* of late years to em
ploy It ln driving the motors, too. Thus converters
and sub-stations could be dispensed with.
In some of these trials three alternating cur
rents were used tn combination. This is the so
called three phase system. On* of Its moat famous
advocates Is the firm of Gana & Co.. of Budapest.
It wad adopted on a road In Northern Italy. Mr.
Terkes, after Inspecting it. decided not to introduce
It on his underground roads In London. Th* ex
periments made on the Berlin Zossen lln* a year
or two ago also utilized a three phase alternating
current. It worked well In some ways, but calls
for thre* overhead wires— a complication open to
objections. Efforts have been made, therefore, to
devise a motor whicb could be driven by a slnirle
alternating current The Final motor, tried last
year in Milan. Is one of that class. So Is the
Wlnter-Eichberx motor, which Is being tried tn
Belgium. A third has been tested ln the suburbs
of Berlin within a year. Several have attracted
attention ln this 'country In the last year or two.
It Is too soon to say whether any of them fully
meets all the requirements of practical service,
but electrical engineers ar* watching all testa
with a lively Interest.
BETS AT SOUTHAMPTON.

Southampton. L<ong Island. Aug. 13 (Special).—
The members of the Southampton colony will hold
a number of races on the grounds of the South

M>mhers ot th* staid Southampton summer col
ony were gr*m.tiy displeased by a report that book
making would be Introduced at the races. The local
representative of a New-York brokerage firm has
secured the privilege for making th. book and has
engaged a professional bookmaker to conduct it.
He says that the. association believed betting would
stimulate interest In th* sport, and consequently
augment the meeting's success.
There appears to be a general disinclination to
have the facts become public and to-day only a
few of the summer residents were aware that book
making would even be tolerated. These expressed
the utmost displeasure at the Idea, and a storm
of indignation Is expected to break when th* mat

WAR VIEWS OF EXPERTS.'
Looking for a Big Battle Scar .
Liao-Yang. !
[FKi>il THE TRIBUNE sWBSSSbBJ
Wa^hingrtop.. Aug. I.V—T he military experts
believe tliat the time is ripe for a biff battle
near Liao-Yan?. The dispatches to-day indi
cate that the Japanese are within twenty miles
of that place, the transfer of which to the Jap
anese would be an important der» in the estab
lishment of bases of recuperation for the in
vading forces. Service observers here doubt
that the Russians will .uand their ground at
i^iao-Yang. Their attitude will evidently be
governed entirely by the extent of the Russian
army and its ability obstinately to resist the
Japanese. There ts no difference of expert view
In regard to the importance of Liao-Tar.g. es
pecially to the Japanese, who could make good
use of It In their progress toward the north.
Some of the officers think that no resistance
will be made by the Russians south of Mouk
den, or possibly short of Harbin, and others !
believe the Russians will fall back without any \
great obstruction to their pursuers, counting on
the time when the Japanese resources will have
become exhausted, or at least sufficiently di
minished to warrant Russian attack.
The naval officers believe that the Russians
have been crippled on the sea. and it Is corning
to he doubted whether they can recover in time
or In extent to makr> a formidable attack possi
ble This view is somewhat confirmed to-day by
the interview given out by the Russian Minis
ter, whose announcement that his country will
fight on until it regains lost ground also sub
tain.s a military impression which has prevailed
here. If the Russian ships continue their effort
to get away from Port Arthur, as la promised
by the Minister, that valuable Information must
by this time be in the possession of the officials
at Tokio, and the Japanese plans will take the
renewal of that attempt into consideration. A
report received in Washington describes a sys
tem of communication established by the Jap
anese, who find that soldiers In the field are not
careful about writing home, while their relatives
and friends are anxious to know of their condi
tion, and are satisfied if they can learn that th«
soldier Is welL The soldier, therefore, has a
postal card, on which the following Is printed:
I Inform you that I am alive and in good
health. I do not give you my address, because
I do not know where I shall be to-morrow, but
your letters will reach me If yon reproduce ex
actly what Is printed by the postal seal.
The sender applies at the bottom of the text a
wooden stamp possessed by nearly every Jap
anese soidier. This arrangement keeps the sol
dier from writing of things which need not be
told. It gives his people a chance to know he Is
alive and well, and it enables those at home to
write to him. the letters being forwarded and
delivered at the front.
ROB SIX IX THREE HOURS

have been taking Jewelry for the most part.
Tha two m«n mad* prisoners yesterday said they
were Alfred Miller, of Na 171 Bowery, and "Gus"
