Norfolk, Va., Sept. 23.—Today was cele-
brated ' at the Jamestown exposition as
Robert Fulton day, in honor of the mem-
ory of the inventor of the Claremont. His-
torical exercises suitable to the occasion

Mitchell, S. D., Sept. 23.—The wealth and
abundance of the corn crop in South Da-
kato are illustrated in the annual Corn
Palace exhibition which opened in this
city today. The exhibition partakes of
the nature of a fall carnival and this year
| the display of products eclipses all of
: those seen in former years. In addition
to the exhibits in the Corn Palace the
attractions of the week include Sousa’s
band and a variety of free street enter-
tainment.

true friend from the professing, the
man who was willing to give and do
anything to further the cause and the
one that was working and talking for
position and his own pocketbook, pro-
fessing his love for the community and
the people thereof. “Beware ye hypo-
crites, for surely as man soweth so
shall he also reap.” The dock workers’
cause was a just one. Their sacrifice
in conceding was great. For the com-
ing year in their homes’ they will in
silence suffer privations for same. But
the battle was not lost. We retained
what we had last year, besides gaining
several new concession". Counting the
principle and moral gain, it can not be
counted in dollars and cents. The dawn
is coming, the workers are uniting and
arising to claim their rights. The dock
workers’ strike was a long stride
toward the morning of liberation in
this our beautiful home city, Galveston.

Secretary Haines of the Chamber of Com-
merce Gets a Taste of Present Strike.
Illustrative of the methods employed by
the telegraph companies in the transmis-
sion of its messages, Secretary Haines of
the Galveston Chamber of Commerce filed
a dispatch in the forenoon Friday for
Sinton, Texas, a poinj. located on the
Brownsville road. It was a matter per-
taining to urgent matters and required an
instant answer.
Imagine his surprise to hear from the
party through today’s mail inclosing the
dispatch with - two-cent stamp showing
the beaming face of George Washington
attached to same to enable it to be trans-
mitted through the United States mails to
its destination. The envelope was post-
marked San Antonio and it was received
by the party at Sinton Saturday night
at 8 o’clock, far behind a letter which
had been mailed to the same person after
the telegram was sent.

New York, Sept. 23.—It is understood
,that Frank B. Kellogg, the government’s
counsel in the suit to dissolve the Stand-
ard Oil Company of New Jersey, has im-
portant evidence in his possession bearing
On alleged relationship between railroad
rebates and profits of the corporations in
the last eight years. • It is also said that
this phase of Mr. Kellogg’s case is being
reserved until the line of questioning to
be pursued this week is finished. To back
the reported evidfence as rebates Mr. Kel-
logg has had subpoenaes served on sev-
eral railroad men, among them being Jef-
ferson Justince, assistant controller of the
Pennsylvania lines, and W\ T. McCul-
lach, auditor of freight accounts of the
New York Central. They have been
ordered to produce certain papers dealing
With the transportation of oil.
John G. Milburn, counsel for the Stand-
ard Oil company, has made a statement
about the hearing in which he says:
“Most of these transactions which Mr.
Kellogg wants to know about happened
so long ago that it is not strange if the
witnesses are unable to give him the an-
swers he expects.”
Special to The Tribune.
New York, Sept. 23.—A week’s celebra-
tion, commemorating the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the Fulton street prayer meeting
was tegun today. The prayer meetings
are especially for business men and are
held at noon daily, except Sundays, in the
heart of the down-town business section
of New York. Not a day has been missed
for 50 years. While the services are es-
sentially undenominational, they are
maintained by the Collegiate Reformed
church, the oldest church organization in
New York.

New Orleans, La., Sept. 23,—Pursuant to
the recent call of President L. A. Ran-
som of the International Cotton Seed
Crushers’ association the members of the
association and a number of representa-
tives of transportation companies assem-
bled for a special meeting in this city to-
day to devise means to remedy certain
adverse conditions in the shipping and
delivery of cotton seed meal at foreign
ports.
Recent consular reports on the subject
of the handling of cotton seed meal
abroad and the special reports of the
government agents indicate that the poor
methods of handling and delivery form
one of the chief causes for the frequent
claims for reclamation and rebates from
foreign buyers upon southern mills. The
association proposes to do all in its power •
to check this condition for the general
benefit of the trade.

Devine, Tex, Sept. 23.—Gov. Camp-
bell made a speech Saturday afternoon
to the citizens and the assembled mem-
bers of the Farmers’ union.
Before keeping his appointment with
the Farmers’ union the-governor visited
the meeting of the Southwest Texas
Baptists, in session here, and made
them a short talk. He then went to
the City park, where a large crowd had
gathered to hear him.
After discussing the promises of his
platform and referring to the Waters-
Pierce litigation, the governor took up
the Baskin-McGregor liquor law and
said to his mind if enforced it would
present the proper solution of the reg-
ulation of the liquor traffic in Texas,
and that if there was a tendency in
certain localities not to enforce the
law and he could not have it done, he
would go before the next legislature
and ask for unlimited authority and
funds with which to put the law into
effect everywhere in Texas.

Casa Blanca, Sept. 23.—The destruction
today of the Moorish camp at Sidie Bra-
him, south of Casa Blanca, with the dis-
persal of the tribesmen, has resulted in
new overtures for peace. Several caids
representing the Culeses, Zantane and
Zyadi tribes presented themselves at Gen.
Drude’s headquarters last evening to dis-
cuss conditions which the I'- -wh com-
mander proposed for their sul_ .Jon. His
terms include the unconditional surrender
by the Moors of all arms, against which
the chiefs are holding out, but upon which
the French authorities insist..
To The Tribune..
Galveston, Tex., Sept. 22, 1907.—•
Through the columns of your paper I
wish, on behalf of the Southern Pacific
dock workers, as their president, to ex-
tend their appreciation and heartfelt
thanks to labor organizations, press
and the public of the city in general
for their assistance and sympathy ex-
pressed during the struggle for the
betterment of the conditions of our
homes and'families. Though there has
been individual persons who have at
every opportunity done their best to
cast cold water on the proposition, and
some spasmodic articles have appeared
in the daily press, placed there no
doubt by persons serving corporate in-
terests, nevertheless we realize public
sentiment has been with us through
our struggle and we appreciate same.
Especially do we extend gratitude to
those noble laboring men outside of our
organization who left ,their breq,d and
livelihood and took their stand by our
side, declaring for right and justice.
They gave all they had. We shall not
forget those citizens that volunteered
their financial assistance. As for or-
ganized labor, it stood with us as a
unit. Foremost in the ranks we found
members of the B. of R. T. refusing to
handle strike breakers or freight pass-
ing through their hands; also the mem-
bers of the local Cotton Screwmen’s as-
sociation No. 2 and the Lone Star Cot-
ton Jammers No. 3, who placed them-
selves by our side, at all times ready to
assist us in every way possible, not to
forget Locals No. 310 and 317. Now,
as the battle is over and the smoke
cleared away, it is easy to discern the

A party of officials of the Italian Royal
Mail Steamship company will soon visit
this port with a view of putting in a fine
passenger and immigration service be-,
tween Galveston and the Mediterranean.
Messrs. Florio and Rubittino, general
agents of the Navigazione Generale Ital-
iana line (The Italian Royal Mail Steam-
ship company) and Agent Salori of New
York and Mr. Dellortn, agent for the line
at New Orleans, will in all probability
compose the party.
The announcement of the advent into
this port of the Italian Royal Mail Steam-
ship line was originally published in the
Tribune on March 8th of the present year.
At that time it was stated that the big
line was soon to put in a service between
this city and Italian ports where it was
expected to embark thousands of immi-
grants from Italy who are now landed at
New York and elsewhere.
In an interview with Mr. F. H. Sagte,
Galveston agent for the line, and also
the Creole line operating from Genoa and
other Italian ports, he stated to a Trib-
une reported that the Italian Royal Mail
line would probably be landing immigrants
here within the next four or five months,
if not sooner.
“I am not informed positively about the
visit of the Italian officials to this port,”
said Mr. Sage, “but it is presumed they
wille behbre at an early date. The Trib-
une has previously published the account
of the new service and the developments
at present are merely the carrying out of
the plans then announced and predicted.
“The Navigaziione Generale Italiana is
the Italian Royal Mail Steamship line
with another name, and the company op-
erates 102 fine steamers. The Creole line
will probably be run in conjunction with
the new line, though the passenger traf-
fic will be confined to the new service,
giving the latter the bulk of the freight.
The Italian Royal Mail is operating into
New Orleans at present and there has
long since been talk of entering Galves-
ton as well. It is now early to state ex-
actly what will be done by the steamship
officials upon the occasion of their visit,
though something final will doubtless be
announced.
Secretary Haines of the Galveston Cham-
ber of Commerce has directed circular
letters to the members of the organiza-
tion calling their attention to the forth-
coming visit of the Italian officials. The
chamber will use its influence in encour-
aging the new line.
The following communication is self-
explanatory:
To The Tribune: In Saturday’s issue
you make that responsible gentleman, “a
well known citizen,” do some fine juggling
in figures. I am not going into details of
state or school tax, but will simply give
some plain calculations to refute his as-
sertions as to increase in the amount to be
collected for the county from 1907 taxes.
This well known citizen says the coun-
ty will collect $59,500 more this year than
last, and after deducting $37,800 to be
collected for account of proposed cause-
way bonds, leaves an unnecessary excess
of $22,900. Well, just let’s see, and for
convenience use only millions and thou-
sands. The assessment of 1906 was $22,200,-
000, and the rate was $1, which brings
$222,000. The assessment for 1907 is $31,-
500,000, and the rate is 84 cents, which
brings $264,600. Now, then, from the total
tax produced for 1907, deduct the levy of
12 cents account of causeway bonds, $37,-
800, and you have $226,800, which shows
an increase over 1906 of only $4800, instead
of $22,900 according to our “well known
■citizen,” and surely $4800 is too small an
amount for margin in a year’s county tax
to be critical about; furthermore, this in- ,
creased collection (when we get it) does
not come out of the pockets of Galveston
county real, estate owners; added to this
year’s assessment there is one item alone
of $2,000,000 account of railroad intangible
assets, and considerable additional large
amounts for other corporations, and if it
were not for the proposed causeway, our
rate of taxation for the county would
have shown a reduction of 28 cents on the
$100 as against 1906, enough to satisfy the
most critical tax register.
Now, then, as to the causeway, and I am
done. The issue of bonds for this pro-
posed and most necessary public improve-
ment was voted for by the taxpayers al-
most unanimously, and if unfortunately
the bonds should not be required within
the tax period of 1907, the amount can be
held for the following year—it certainly
will not be used for any other purpose
than for credit of sinking and interest
fund for said bonds again when the levy
was made, it was, of course, anticipated
that it would be required, and we still
hope so; at all events, it was made on
proper and legal advice.
The administration of Galveston coun-
ty’s finances for a number of years past
has been such as to justify the commenda-
tion of any citizen. Toe bonded indebted-
ness is being reduced and still not so,
fast as to be a burden on the present
generation. The county is and has been
for several (years on a cash basis, and in
conclusion I wish to say that the present
county commissioners’ court is carrying
out the same wise policy pursued by its
predecessor and can be relief upon by the
taxpayers to take care of and conserve
their interests. JOHN M. MURCH,
County Auditor.

London, Sept. 23.—A letter received here
from an exceptionally well-informed
American in Pekin describes the situation
in China as by no means settled.
“The revolutionary feeling continues in
spite of the efforts of many to pooh-pooh
it,” says the writer. “The assassination
of the governor of Anhui threw a little
light on the situation. The Chinese high
officials are badly frightened. When Hsu-
Shih-Chang left for Mukden to be vice-
roy he had the whole station surrounded
by troops lest a bomb should be thrown.
“That an expectant taotai, who was
head of a police school, should prove to
be a revolutionist and engage in a plot
of assassination proves the high charac-
ter of the revolutionary leaders. When
the news of the murder reached Pekin
some of the young Chinese with foreign
education did not hesitate to express to
their foreign acquaintances their pleasure
in the result. Some of the officials in
central China have become really panic-
stricken, and there is a disposition to
hold the new schools more or less respon-
sible.
“But in spite of all this the dowager
empress holds firmly to her program of
reform. A few days ago the revised reg-
ulations for the re-organization of the
provinces were approved by imperial re-
script and published. They make the
viceroys responsible for the execution of
the imperial policy in their vice loyalties,
and reduce the powers of the governors,
except where there is no viceroy over
them. The beginnings of ’ representative
government are seen in the establishment
By Associated Press.
Norfolk; Va., Sept. 23.—Elaborate and
beautiful ceremonies marked today’s ob-
servance of “Robert Fulton day” at the
Jamestown exposition. Of the many his-
torical events commemorated by the ter-
centennial none have been of such grea-t
importance and deeper significance than
the celebration of the practical application
of 'Robert Fulton’s inventions to the
needs of the world. While the exercises
were under way the exposition officials
added to the prominence given them by
the participation of the Robert Fulton
Monument association, many members of
which arrived here yesterday. The orator
of the day, Martin W. Littleton of Brook-
lyn, and Cornelius Vanderbilt, president of
the association, came from New York on
the yacht North Star, and Samuel L.
Clements (“Mark Twain”) came on the
yacht' Kanawha, each being accompanied
by a party of gtfeste. Rear Admiral P.
F. Harrington, U. S. N., retired, was the
head of the committee appointed to re-
ceive the distinguished guests.
A spectacular feature of the celebration
was a typical representation of wnat the
inventions of Robert Fulton have brought
to the world. It was the assembling in
Hampton Roads just off the exposition
grounds of every sort of craft propelled by
steam. Vessels of all species and descrip-
tion, all ablaze with flags and bunting,
formed a maritime parade which was re-
viewed by the guests from the visiting
yachts.
The day’s program included the reward-
ing of cups presented by President Roose-
velt, King Edward and Sir Thomas Lip-
ton for winners in various classes of
yacht races.
