'A number of Orangemen who had gathered at the ° Manon greeted him with groans and boos, but these were drowned in the & hearty cheers of the large crowd of Liberals and Nationalist. There was no disturbance and the large force of police on duty in the station had a very easy task to perform. In the course of the morning a crowd of | 111119314“, paraded . the streets carrying an effigy of Mr. Ohurchfll to which was attached a placard bearmg the words \Down with Churchill!\ “No Home Rule.\ They proceeled to the hotel where reception room of his office yesterday arrwed while the colonel held what he cali- ed his first class in applied recent litites. Surrounded by his puplis-half a dozen newspaper reporters-the for- mer president delved into two thick volumes of the \Correspondence of Lincoln,\ reading aloud extracts from, Lincoln's letters, making pen- cil notes on the margins of the pages and laying aside the books from time | to time to make clear his declaration - that the replies made by the mar- tyred president to the problems of i ' the early sixties could easily serve as | ' models of answers to the questions Mr .and Mrs. Churchill are staving and sang the nationgl anthem. Then thzw dispersed without disorder. There was no marked excitement amoaug 'he worsefs of the city today. The tens of thousands of men and women engaged in the ship yards and the linen factories proceeded to work as though the question of home rule had not mooted. A few small crowds, . were scattered hére and | howeve'i' there anxious to see the first lord of and watching the movements of the military. Rain fell throughout the whole niorning. The football grounds where the' meeting is to 'be held is a swamp and the saturated eanvas marquee in which Mr. Churchill is to speak has sagged threateningly several times. Arrangements for preserving the peace have been made on the most elbxborate scale ever witnessed in this city. Detachments of police have been posted everywhere and the troops are held in readiness in their quarter. Matters looked ugly for a moment when Mr. and Mrs. Churchill started for the place where the meeting is to ° be held. A great crowd which had gatrerel outside the hotel appeared inclined to rush the first lord's mo- tor car and tried to block its passage but a flotilla of pasked with detectives succeeded in worming a way through the hissing | throng and got the first lord safely away. The first lord of the admiralty and John E. Redmond, the Nationalist leader, reached the marquee safely. The football grounds was sur- rounded from an early hour by troops so as to gaard against an invasion by ths Unionists. ers were admitted. The surroundings of the football | being an 'awful coming down.' escorting motors ; will do harm. For the good of the of today. Opponents' Effort to Force Him. Lincoln's confidential leiter to A. Jonas, written June 21, 186v, he read in part as follows: \And now a word of caution. Our adversaries think they can gain a point if they could openly force mo . to deny the charge, by which some degree of offense would be given to the Americans. For this reason it must publicly appear that I am pay- ing no aitention to the charge.\ \That reminds me of some more of my past answers,\ commented Col. Roosevelt. \You may recollect that on several occasions I have said that I had nothing to say|\ \If I were to labor a month,\ he. read from L ~coin's private and con- filential lettér of October 298, 1860, to G. D. Prentice ,\I could not ex- press my conservative views and in- tentions more clearly and strongly . than they are expressed in our plat- forms and in my many speeches al- ready in print.\ Col. Roosevelt interrupted reading to say: \I am not speaking just now of immediate problems, but referring only to general politics.\ Enemies Misrepresent. He continued reading: \And now, my friends, do not misunderstand me. I have not decided that I will not do substantially what you sug- gest. If I do finally abstain, it will be because of apprehension that it men of the south-and I regard the majority of them as such-I have | no objection to repeat seventy and seven times.

Bodies of infantry and dragoons were stationed a short distance from the marquee in readiness for em- | ergency. Occasional bands of rowdy youths marched by with banners bearing the words, \No Home Rule! Down with Churchill.\ Mr. Churchill was greeted with a rousing reception from the 6,000 peo- ple gathered within the tent whose } entsusiasgm not even the depressing surroundings were able entirely to quench. A band played popular airs inter- mingled with the Irish melodies, \Thé Wearing of the Green\ \Ihe Boys of Wexford.\ Mr. Churchill immediately got on good terms with his aulience, promising them that the government intended to pass & home rule hill which would be harmonious with im- perial interests, smooth the path of the British empire, liberate rew forces for ity service and for ever do and \Carson and Lon- | | Mr. Roosevelt said, tlemen and not to unnecessarily put ; any weapons in their hands.\ ''The politiclans of those days,\ \had much the same sort of problems confronting them as we have today.\ No Explanations to Enemies. Another of Lincoln's letters espe- cially, Mr. Roosevelt thought, would apply to conditions confronting him today. This was a letter written at Springfield, Ill., April 6, 1860, to C. F. McNeil. The part emphasized by Mr. Roosevelt reads as follows: \I have made this explanation to you as a friend, but I wish no expth- nation made to our enemies. What they want is a squabble and a fuss, and they can have it if we explain, and they can not have it if we don't.\ - THIS RUBBER MAX'S FINGERS STRETCHED. Mansfield, Ohio, Feb. 8.-Charles W.

Auburn, Feb. 8.-A plea for more twberculosis hospitals in\ the rural d.stricts was made 'by the anti-twb 7:- culosis committes of the state grange , i in its report of that body today. The | committee points out that tubercu—I losis is decreasing more rapidly in the city than in the country. This is due, in the opinion of the com- mittee, to the lack of hospital care and ”Expert. nursing for sufferers from | the disease in the rural communities. In 1911, there were 2,829 deaths from tuberculosis in rural New experts to piove that this means that there are at least 15,000 living cases of the disease in the country dis- | tricts. The report says: \Only about one-tenth of all the cases outsids of New York and Buf- falo can get, now, the hospital care that science says they should have. A bed could be provided for every one of the 15,000 cases in rural N insigmilcant expendi- ture for construction of $11,250,000. At the conservative estimate of $1.25 it would cost not to exceed $2,500,- 000 per year for maintenance.\ Continued work for county hos- pitals, - supplemented by visiting nurses for rural districts are among - the public health plans of the grange for next year.

S—Secretary Knox's note to Count Von Berngter- off, the German ambassador, made public, is taken to be the pre- liminary of an expected exchange of ! notes between the United States, Ger- many, Great Britain, France, Japan and Russia, which would be of im- mense importance in placing all those powers an record for concerted action and common understanding in . 'the protection of the integrity oi China. While the note is addressed to the German ambsssador, copies have been sent to all the other vpowexfs e named. ''There happily has thus far been | C no reason for interference on the part of the foreign powers, inasmuch as both imperialists and republicans ,. have guaranteed the life and-proper- ty of tue foreign population and the latest reporis tend to strengthen the belief that it is improbable that ful- ure developments will necessitate such interference,\ says Seorenfx: Knox. 00% The remainder of the note follows: \In reply to your. note of ultimo requesting information as to the attitudeem'of tthe government. of - the United States with-regard e con- * OC ditions in China, 1 have the -hotor to. state that since the beginning of the: - | present disturbances this governraeut has from time to time, as Occasion . arose, exchanged views mull. the other interested powerSA-particulu- ly France, Great Britain, Italy, ham; aud Russia, as well as the unperld German. government, as to what course was expedient for the proteo- og tion of the common interests From - i these exchanges it has been. quite clear that all the powers concerned were as one as to the wisdom of maintaining the policy of concerted action in the circumstances. - \This unanimity of view found concrete expression note presented by the representatives of France, Great Britain, Germany, Japan, Russia and the United States- simultaneously to the peace commu- sgioners at Shanghai -on December 20, as well as in the co-operative meag- ! ures taken for the protection of their | common interests throughout Ching \The advice received by this gov- ernment, moreover, show that the other governments concerned have .. likewise had similar exchanges of views and that official statements of policy to the same effect have ap- peared in the public press of various countries. . \It is, therefore, evident to this - government, that all the powers nave up to the present, by common con- sert, pot only refrainel from inde- pendent action and from intervening in China's internal affairs, but have acted in full accord with their mutu- al assurances that they would respect its integrity and sovereignty. that the New York State Grange has | \If however, contrary to all ex- pertkfions any further steps should prove necessary, this government is firm in the conviction that the policy of concerted action after full consul« tation by the powers should and would be maintained in order to ex- clude from the beginning all possible | misunderstandings. \Moreover this government has left it to be a corollary of the policy of strict neutrality hitherto pursued by common accord with respect to loans to China to look with disfavor upon loans by its nationals unless assured : that such loans would be of neutral ; effect as between the contending fac- tions, as it has also felt that the pres- ent was an occasion where there might be invoked with peculiar ap» | propriateness the principle of the lending government's deterring their . | nationals from making loans not ap- proved as to their 'broad policy by | their own governments in consulta- tion with the other mtergsted | powers.\ Louwlon, Feb. ®.-The rate of dig- of the Rank of England was reduced from f to 3 1-2 per cent. today. he d -./ x wo lull: Cl in' the identic .
