SPOKANE, Seupt. 28.—President
Taft delivered here today his long an-*
ticipated speech on the conservation of
natural resources and outlined the
policy of his administration on this
subject of supreme importance to all
the west.
Mr. Taft broadly took the stand
that while the present administration
is pledged to follow out the policies
of Mr. Roosevelt, such a pledge dots
not involve him in «any obligation to
carry out these policies without con-
gressional authorization. The president
added, however, that he would tako
every step and exert every influence
upon congress to enact legislation
which shall best subserve the purposes
and requirements of the situation.
President Taft created a groat deal
of enthusiasm when he announced
that he would urge upon congress the
necessity of authorizing the secretary
of the interior to issue $ 10,000,000
of bonds for the completion of irriga-
tion projects in the west, upon which
work has been suspended because of
lack of funds.

NEW® YORK, Sept. 2>.—Thousands of
persons In Madison square saw the Met-
ropolitan building, tIn: hlg:i>'st in the
world, illuminated for the first time in
honor of the Hudson-Fulton celebration.
Probably hundreds of thousands In other
parts of the city witnessed the brilliant
spectacle, for the lights could be seen
at points ns distant as Harlem and
Brooklyn,
Light uticained from every window In
the biuluing from the first floor to u
tapering summit of the tower. The effect
was dazzling.
Surmounting the building, more than
■eve hundred feet above .lie ground,
glowed a gold -ti ball radiating electric
light from every part of its surface. Its
appearance was striking. The atmos-
phere was clear in i-- early pnrt of the
evening:, and the illumination showed to
splendid advantage.
