Testimonial Presented Him From the
Protective Tariff League.
MAM! PROMINENT PERSONS PRESENT
Resolutions Handsomely Engrossed
and Beautifully Bound.
THE SECRETARY'S REPLY
?Yesterday afternoon the parlors of the
Arlington were well filled with the friends
of Secretary Bliss?members of the Amer
ican Protective Tariff League. They had
come from New York and Pennsylvania,
ami soma from the far west to participate
in the presentation of a testimonial to Mr.
Bliss, the ex-president of the league. In
the party were many prominent politicians,
whose voices in advocacy of protection for
American industries have been heard in
many campilgns. In addition to the mem
bers of the league many prominent repub
licans were among the invited guests, and
the exercises, while not elaborate, showed
In what esteem the Secretary of the In
terior is held by his friends.
Shortly after u o'clock the visitors from
New York and Pennsylvania arrived by a
special train, and were driven at once to
the Arlington. Secretary Wilbur F.
Wakeman had the affair in charge, and
welcomed the guests. It w:^s past -*
o'clock when Secretary Bliss .eamng on
the arm of ex-Mayor Strong of New York,
the pr.silent of the league, entered the
parlors. They were immediately surround
ed by their friends, and Secretary Bliss
renewed the acquaintance of many he had
r.ot seen sinee the first tocsin of the
league was sounded for protection.
l ulled to Order.
President Strong called the meeting to
order, and said it was net necessary to
dwell upon the introduction of Mr. Bliss.
He was too well known to the friends of
protection and the lovers of liberty and
republican institutions. President Strong I
then gave way to Vice President J. K
Thropp who presented the testimonial oil
the part of the league in a speech of some
length, in which he reviewed Mr. Bliss
career, both in business and politics, and
complimented him highly for the aid he
had given the cause of protection.
Tkr T>nt i mo nix I
At the close of his address he handed Mr.
Bliss the testimonial. It was in the form
of a book mounted in silver, inclosing beau
tiful sheets of highly ornamented letter
ing. After the name comes the address
with a large initial, through which is shown
the caduceus (representing ^us'ness) and
the ivy leaves of friendship. Then fol
lows the titie of the league on a ribbon,
back of which is shown the horn of plenty
with- its flowers and fruits. Then the
wording In old Knglish text with orna
mental capitals, showing the league's ap
preciation of his valuable services to that
organization. The cover Is of blue leather
mounted on silver, the centerpiece being
the shield of the league with the mono
gram 'C. N. B." surrounded by the plow,
anvil and loom. The corners are highly
ornamented in silver, and the book was
Inclosed In a highly polished box of ma
hogany.
"I cannot express the sentiments of my
heart for the honor that you are this day
conferring upon me. Thirteen years ago
I was one of a party of ten or twelve men
who met in a small room on Madison ave
nue, N?w Y'ork, to consult regarding the
formation of a local society for dissemina
tion of the principles of protection to Amer
ican Industries and labor. A few of the
original members are, I believe, here to
day. Some have passed away. Colonel
Le Grand B. Cannon and one or two others
are still living and in the enjoyment of
the retrospect of long lives well spent in
the service of th^r fellow-citizens--a ser
vice for which no recompense was ev?r
asked or received, except the conscious
ness of duty performed.
"At the time of which I speak there
were signs of a growing opposition to the
national policy of protection, and It was
to combat such opposition in our own city
that our society was formed. Mr. K. H.
Ammidown, an able writer on political
economy, was our first president.
"The originators had no Intention of en
tering upon a national work, but circum
stances led to extension of the original
plan, and as opportunity offered and means
were provided the work grew to Us present
grand proportions, and the American Pro
tective Tariff League has become one of
the great social and political factors of the
country.
Ft is the central home and the executive
agent or prosperous auxiliary societies es
tablished In every state of the Union. Its
work, while confined principally to the
cause for which it was chartered, has made
it one of the chief bulwarks against tile
dangerous anarchistic wave that In a time
of depression swept over the country, and
which was largely caused by the very dis
regard of the system which had, when in ;
the ascendant, brought prosperity and hap
piness to the people, and which has as sure
ly. when in decadence, brought misery and
distress to thousands of homes.
There was a time when some of us
thought that conservative men of all par
ties who recognized the danger of a policy
that looked to the overthrow of a system
that had received the sancUon of all the
great men, whom we refer to as "fathers"
of the republic could unite with our league
without abandoning other distinctive poli
cies of their respective parties, but party
government and discipline was too strong,
and the little experiment in non-partisan
political effort was no more successful than
later efforts of others have been in that di
rection.
SorerMent by Party.
Government by party Is likely to continue
for generations to come, and any great
domestic policy to be successful must be
supported by one or other of the chief na
tional parties of the country. The realiza
tion of this fact has brought the league
into close connection with the existing re
publican party. In loyal support of that
party, we have found our strength and the
increase of our influence.
In the last national campaign the league
supplied lo all sections of the country many
millions of documents; it provided lectures
for the village lyceums. accurate informa
tion and statistics of trade, commerce and
manufactures to legislators, facts and fig
ures for the campaign orators, with texts
and briefs of speeches if required, and in
the end. we had the gratification of wit
nessing the passage of a tariff act in extra
session of Congress which would, in time
of peace, have undoubtedly furnished suffi
cient means for the expenses of the gov
ernment. with that protection to industry
and labor which a majority of the people
demanded.
No one wi'l claim that the league alone
accomplished all that has been done for
our c-iuse. We only suggest that the league
has co-operated loyally and efficiently, by
the power of its organization, with the
people and for the pe< pie in bringing about
a settlement of the protection issue that is
to be beneficial and lasting. But all po
litical contests of a uoirestic character will.
I am sure. '?e rut aside for the present by
this association, wtile the league Joins
with patriotic zeal all Americans of all
parties In loyal df fense of the land we love,
and assists In giving lo our neighbors of the
adjacent Isolds the boon of freedom so
leng denied to them by the lncapablc
tyranny of Spain.
I congratulate the league on the election
of my frlenl. CoL Strong, to the presl
dei.cy, and that you have been able to re
tain Mr. W iken.an as secretary. To his
services in organization and executive
wcrk is due much of the success of the re
cent years.
Gentlemen, friends of these many year*,
for the more than kind sentiments that
you have expressed for me personally, and
for the magnificent album wherein I shall
see the hand (and faces) of so many with
whom it has been a pleasure and honor to
be associated. I render to you my grateful
thanks, and to ore and all I wuhr long life,
prcsperity and happiness.
Jtulor Carter'* Remark*.
After the acceptance of the testimonial
by Secretary Bliss, President Strong of the
tariff league Introduced Senator Carter of
Montana, who reviewed his persona! ac
quaintance with Secretary Bliss, his knowl
edge of the workings of the American Pro
tective Tariff Lcaiue, his opinion at tfcs
magnitude of the Interior Department ud
expresses the opinion that that department
was mare Important to the people as a
whole than any other single department of
the government, end closed by saying that
the position of Secretary of the Interior had
never been filled more acceptably than by
Mr. Bliss.
After reeding the expressions of regret
from the President, Vice President Hobart
and Speaker Re 3d. Mr. Strong Introduced
Senator Warren of Wyoming, who related
his personal acquaintance with the Secre
tary of the Interior, his personal interest In
having htm selected for said position, his
personal knowledge of the great work of
Mr. Bliss In favor of the policy of protec
tion, his personal friendship for the Secre
tary, and closed by saying, he was "All
wool, a yard wide," and the "right man tn
the right place."
The members of the tariff league and
friends assembled then adjourned to a
luncheon In the grand dining room of the
Arlington.

BEAK O.I A COWCATCHER.
Held rut la* Tea Miles a ad Tien
Warn Haated a?d Shot.
From the Boston Tnu'jicrlpt.
Not long agro as a railroad train was pass
ing through Wllder's cut, near Olcut, Pa.,
the engineer was astonished to see a black
bear coming around a sharp curve. The
cut is so narrow that there Is hardly room
for a man to standjfislde and allow an en
gine to pass jvllho^t striking him. Bruin
was more amazed -than the engineer. In
stead of stepping aplde, he reared on his
haunches and towaifcad events. The locomo
tive was runnifVff leas than twenty miles an
hour, for the,nplacc Is a dangerous one.
Upon seeing th? be^ the engineer shut ofT
steam and appMed tjje brakes, but the dis
tance was too'ihortl to escape an accident.
The cowcatchj^r si hi under the hind legs
of the brute a#d lifted him off the ground.
Thinking all,jtroutye was over, the engin
eer put on ste?jn once more, while the tire
man climbed out of the cab window and
stole along tha,gua$l rail to find out what
had become qi)f the bear. He was there,
clasping the c<fcwcatcher, the lower part of
his body just .grailjnjs the ground and his
head almost teaching the bottom of the
headlight. Horneem?d to understand that
the only thine be coyld do was to hold fast,
and he did so during the run to the next
station, ten miles distant. The station
agent was standing at the door as the train
approached. The sight of a full-grown bear
on the cowcatcher fairly took away his
breath.
As soon as the engine came to a stand
still bruin slipped from his perch and made
a break for freedom. This took him straight
toward the agent, who dashed through the

door, slammed it shut, leaped through the
rear door and went up the street at a fu
rious rate, calling out, "Bear, bear! Some
body get a gun!"
Soon the town was in a turmoil, a yell
ing crowd following in hot pursuit of the
bear, some of the boys pelting him with
stones. Suddenly a big shepherd dog
bounced out of a yard and dashed after the
bear. Bruin paused but a minute or two,
but when he passed on the rash dog had
no future interest in the proceedings.
At the street corner a lawyer carrying a
double-barreled gun came face to face with
the bear, but the latter turned down the
nearest alley. The crowd increased and
encircled the frightened animal, making
escape impossible. Finding himself at bay,
bruin backed up against a barn, rearing
on his haunches. The lawyer sent two bul
lets Into the bear, whereupon the wounded
animal charged the crowd. One urchin fell,
was trampled upon and had a leg broken.
The lawyer slipped another bullet into his
gun and sent the shot through bruin's head
and tlnlshed him. By this time the engin
eer and fireman recalled the fact that a
train load of passengers were waiting at
the station, and hurried back and resumed
their official duties after a bear hunt of
about twenty minutes.
Firf-Prtxil WmhI 1b Wanklfc
From the Array and Navy Journal.
The war with Spain has already furnish
ed some notable examples of the value of
fireproof wood on board ships of war.
The reports show that, in the engagement
at Cardenas, the Winslow was in all
probability spared from total destruction
by the fact that under the severest ex
posure none of the wood work on her ig
nited. And the same condition prevailed
on board the Wilmington. The report
snowed that there was a menacing fire on
the deck of the Iowa, which ship, though
partly fire-proof, had had its deck laid be
fore the electric fire-proofing proeess was
adopted by the Navy Department. There
is likely to be no stronger argument in
behalf of the process than the actual
demonstrations during the engagement of
the present war. The disastrous effects
to vessels taking part in a naval engage
ment are greatly multiplied by not ising
fire-proof wood In construction, and the
dangers are minimised to an euual degree
on the ships the wood of which ba& been
treated by the process. Among the ves
sels of the North Atlantic float on which
the wood has been subjected to the ehrctrtc
tire-proofing process are the Helena, Wil
utlngtoa, Vhksburg. Annapolis, Newport.
Princeton, Nasbville and Miaiionomoh.
