TAKES SHIP FOR NEW YORK
New Orleans, La., Oct. 2C.—At the
end of the nine strenuous hours of
varied entertainment in New Orleans,
which brought his exceptionally pleas-
ant trip through the South to a close,
President Roosevelt, at 6:30 o'clock
tonight, boarded the lighthouse ten-
der Magnolia and began the first
stage of his return Journey to national
capltol. No newspaper reporters ac-
companied him, and he will be out of
touch with the world throughout the
night, but daylight tomorrow is ex-
pected to bring nows of his success-
ful transfer to the armored cruiser
West Virginia, which lies at anchor
off the mouth of the river to receive
him, and of the beginning of the sec-
ond stage of the Journey. For four
days he will be absent frond Ameri-
can soil which has never heretofore
happened to a president during his
incumbency, but through means of
,wireless telegraphy it is promised
that he will be seldom out of touch
with shore.
The president's New Orleans re-
ception was a signal testimonial of
popular esteem and of grateful recog-
nition of the service which he has
rendered the city in her period or
stress.
New Orleans today remembered not
only that the president had acted with
characteristic promptness when asked
to send federal surgeons to take
charge of the fever struggle, but
throughout the fight he sustained the
people of the stricken city with ex-
pressions of unfailing sympathy and,
when a large share of the public
opinion of the country opposed his
venturing i'nto New Orleans with the
fever still prevailing, he refused to
; consider the (element of personal
■ danger and declared hie purpose to
‘' keep the promise he made when he
accepted the original Invitation to
come. The denselv crowded streets,
Iggjthe elaborate decorations, the wild
f applause that greeted him along
the whole route of the parade, the

New York, Oct. 26.—With only one

Large Attendance at Tennessee A

Clarksville, Tenn., Oct. 26.—The an-
nual meeting of the Young Men’s
Christian association of Tennessee

attendance, representing every institu-
tion and branch of the organization

.demonstration in his honor at the
S:',,; .luncheon, were outward manifests-
.thins of the spirit in which the peo-
ple welcomed him here.
Probably for the first lime in his
RUbHc career the president was com-
JPs8P,,ed *° a,>an(,on a public address be-
VplDrc he had got well started on it. It
was contemplated that the military
•ml civic parade should pass in re-
>'9|priew before the president at the city
-shall,-but the crowd which gathered at
:|th is ' point was so tremendous that
neither the police nor troops were
,.„>i able to move it, and the president,
foreseeing a possible catastrophe in
tne event of a panic, finally gave up
the attempt to speak and left the plat-
form.
&
Fifty Thouaand Persons
Gathered About Stand.
The crowd Jammed St. Charles
.street and property line all the way
from Paydras to Ninth street, and its
' spread over La Fayette street was
complete. Over 50,000 people were
i*gathered in and around the stand from
‘ which the president was to have deliv-
ered his speech. When the president
decided to abandon his effort he shout-
ed 1^ the throng to go home and be
good citizens and then disappeared
into the mayor's parlors, well nigh ex-
hausted. To those about him he ex-
pressed himself as immensely pleased
with the demonstration in his honor,
which was far beyond his expectations
or the expectations of the members of
his party, and said that the reception
was the greatest that he had had since
he bad started on his trip.
The demonstration at luncheon was
hardly less exuberant. When the pres-
ident entered the superbly decorated
dining hall the 625 banqueters rose as
one man and gave way to frantic
cheers. Every word be uttered was the
signal for an extraordinary exhibition
ated yesterday by the resignation of
Charles A. Fiammer. who, in retiring
from the ticket, advised his followers
to vote tor Mr. Jerome.
The committee, which amoat unalni-
mously voted for Mr. Jerome today,
opposed his nomination by twenty-
seven votes to eight when his name
was suggested for the Republican
ticket a few weeks ago. The condi-
tions created by the campaign caused
a change in sentiment among the Re-
publican leaders which culminated
last night In the withdrawal of Mr.
Flammer and resulted today in the
naming' of Mr. Jerome for nomina-
tion by the county convention tomor-
row night.
No difficulty in carrying through the
executive committee’s program at. to-
morrow night's convention is antici-
pated by the leaders.
Fire Starts in Early Morning:,
Catching Guests Asleep,
and Building Burns
Rapidly.
INCENDIARISM SUSPECTED
Hot Springs, Ark., Oct. 26.—The
Railroad Men’s hotel, located between
the Iron Mountain railroad station and
Elm street, was destroyed by fire early
this morning and when the fire was
gotten under control six badly charred
bodies were found in the ruins. At
the inquest this afternoon they were
identified as follows:
AL M. MANN, railway conductor,
Denver.
MRS. MACK, pianist, city.
ED SNYDER, hotel porter.
HARRY BRADLEY, waiter Little
Gem restaurant.
H. ROBERTS. Tacoma, Wash.
JOHN M. LEON, Austin, Texas.
Frank Overton, badly burned.'
The structure was a two-story frame
building and the fiames spread rapid-
ly, cutting off es$xpe by the hall-
ways both up and downstairs.
The fire was thought to have been
caused by a lamp exploding, but in-
cendiarism is now expected.
IT WILL NEVER REOPEN.
Such is the Opinion of Directors of
the Enterprise Bank.
Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 26,—It Is not
probable that the Enterprise National
bank will ever reopen its doors.
Such is the opinion of many of the
directors, of whom it is said their
main hope is to save the depositors
as much as passible. The books of
the institution are said to he in such
a hopelessly muddled condition that
it may take many weeks to arrive
at anything tike a lucid statement of
the bank's affairs. Collateral to the
amount of $70,000, deposited by Ar-
thur Kennedy to secure a loan of $20,-
000, is today reported missing.
The fact' that Cashier CIarke’3 last
report to the comptroller of the cur-
rency showed only $150,000 of re-
discounts, while In one Pittsburg
bank $300,000 of such paper has been
discovered, is pointed to as an evi-
dence of the cashier's peculiar finan-
cial methods.
DIAMONDS IN THE DOUGH. .
Mines of the Gem Said to Exist in
Kentucky.
Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 26.—The direc-
tors of the Kentucky Diamond Min-
ing and Development company has
received an offer of David .Draper, of
Johannesburg, South Africa, to devel-
op the lands in Etilott county, Ky,\
belonging to the company and sup-
posed to contain valuable, diamond
bearing, deposits of Kimberlite. Mr.
Draper recently made a careful exam-
ination of the lands in question and
was higbly enthusiastic over the pros-
pects of finding rich deposits of the
diamond bearing mineral In Eliiott
county. It is stated that several par-
ties have offered to put $106,000 each
Into the venture of digging for Kim-
berlite on the lands belonging to
the Diamond Mining company.
Y. M. C. A. Meets at Scranton.

•» -• (j a., in this state are in attendance
almost entirely with local subjects
and had special reference to the fight
against yellow fever the banquet de-
veoped into an increasing ovation.
An immense crowd packed Iravier
and St. Charles streets as the dinner
ended, and the appearance of the pres-
ident on his way to the river provok-
ed thunderous applause. Ab the Mag-
nolia left her dock a presidential sa-
lute was fired and the indescribable
din of the whistles of the factories
and river craft mingled with the lusty
cheering throng of people who had
collected on the wharf.
Not Slightest Sign
of Yellow Fever Seen.
Nowhere did the president see the
slightest evidence of the existence of
any remnants of the fever. He saw on
every band immense gatherings of ap-
parently happy and contented people,
and it may reasonably be believed that
he carried away with him the impres-
sion that, however serious the visita-
tion of disease may have been. it, l#
now little more than a memory.
at the annual meeting which opened
this morning at Elm Park church. The
first general meeting will be held this
evening and the convention will re-
main in session until Sunday morning.
The week end has been selected for
the sessions and general meetings will
be held every day and many prominent
Y. M. C. A. workers from Pennsylvania
and other states will address the meet-
ings. The local members are the
hosts of the occasion and have made
elaborate preparations for the enter-
tainment of the visitors.

GREAT CROWDS COMING
TO MINING CONGRESS
Naco, Ariz., Oct. 26.—At Canauea
there is the greatest enthusiasm over
the mining congress. The drillers
are worked up over the contest and a
delegation of expert men with the
hammer and drill will attend the con-
gress.
Everywhere (be people are pleased
with the railroad rate, and this fact
alone guarantees a big crowd from
all over the territories and from Son-
ora. Tombstone and Benson will,
without, doubt, send good crowds, as
the enthusiasm at these two places is
especially marked.

said he had received several threat-
ening letters, the first demanding $!>,-

$100. He ignored all the letters. Fi-
nally one came telling him not to
think he was forgotten: that he would
"feel the mighty vengeance of the
Black Hand.”
One Italian was arrested on suspi-
cion of being concerned in the explo-

CANADA GIVES THANKS.
National Holiday Changed From No-
vember to October.
Ottawa, Ont„ Oct. 26.—in accord-
ance with the proclamation issued by
the government Thanksgiving day is
generally observed throughout Can-
ada today. As a rule the change of
the day from the middle of November
to the middle of October has given
satisfaction, as the weather is milder
and more pleasant for outdoor enjoy-
ment. Not so well satisfied are the
Canadians with -he choice of Thurs-
day as Thanksgiving dav. It is ar-
gued that, Kiasmucn as the selection
of the day is entirely arbitrary, it
would have been much better and
more convenient had a Monday been
selected for the purpose. That woudl
nave made It possible to hold family
reunions extending over iwo or even
three da/s.
Daughters in Misery.
New York, Oct. 24.—in abject desti-
tution Matilda Van Dolsen, grand-
daughter of Henry Van Dolsen, an
aide on the staff of General Washing-
ton, and daughter of William H. Van
Dolsen, an officer In the United States
army in the War of 1812, died last
night in a tiny, squalid room in East
139lh street.
Miss Van Dolsen, who is 72 years
of age, lived with her sister Frances,
two years her junior. Up to within a
few years the two- old ladies enjr;vtl
a small income, the remnant of the es-
tate of their father, but recently this
was exhausted and they were reduced
to dire want, depending for a bare sub-
sistence on such light work as they
were able to do.
Miss Van Dolsen was stricken with
apoplexy a few days ago. but refused
to go to a hospital, as that would have
Involved separation from her sister.
Last night a second stroke resulted
fatally. In the room in which the
aged sisters lived hung the swords
and pistols of their father and grand-
father.

New York, Oct. 24.—Baron Speck
von Stemburg left Monday to board
the Kaiser William II. to rejoin his
post in Washington, says a cable dis-
patch to the Herald from Berlin.
Before leaving he stoutly denied
that the condition of his health was
.such as to prevent his returning to his
duties, it being much tbe same as
usual.
He paid a long visit Sunday night
to the Hoffa sanitarium to pay a fare-
well visit, to his wife, who remains
In that institution for an operation,
after which she will rejoin her hus-
band.
He is the author of a very striking
definition of the situation created In
the Far East. In conversing with a
friend he said:
"As regards other powers, the An-
glo-Japanese treaty mesas that these
countries have established a Monroe
doctrine in the Far East.”
He expressed himself hopeful that
a tariff war between America and
Germany would be avoided.

AGENT IS CONVICTED.
ACCUSED OF SELLING INSURANCE
WITHOUT PAYING TAX.
W. H. McDougal, Local Manager of
Western Life Association, Fined $10
In Justice Court, Appeals to County
Court.
W. H. McDougal, local manager of
the Western Life association, who,
with three of iiis agents, was arrested
a few days ago, was yesterday fined
$10 by Justice Marshall for failure
to pay an occupation tax. This is also
ihe charge that stands against the
three agents of the company, whose
trials will follow, one of them, that
of J, P. Johnson, today.
McDougal contended that his com-
pany was a fraternal insurance asso-
ciation, and was, therefore, exempt
from the penalties of the occupation
tax law. Judge Marshall held, how-
ever, that the company was selling
Insurance and that its agents should
therefore take our an occupation tax.
McDougal appealed his case to the
county court.
The case of J. P. Johnson, one o’
the agents, will be called this morn-
ing. The defendant has demanded a
Jury and a warm contest will be made.
Natural Concluaion.
A little New York girl, whose brief
experience of life was confined to ex-
istence In an apartment house, was
Cincinnati, 0., Oct. 26.—Although
confined to his home under orders ot
his physician and compelled to cancel
several speaking engagements during
the last few days. United States Sena-
tor Foraker has been following close-
ly the agitation over railroad freight
rates, and today gave to the press a
statement answering particularly the
arguments advanced by Secretary of
War Taft in his speech at Akron last
Saturday night, in the course of his
statement Senator Foraker said:
“No question has arisen in Ameri-
can politics In recent years of any-
thing like such Importance excepting
the free silver question."
He then takes issue with the as-
sumption that those who do not. agree
with the remedy proposed by Secre-
tary Taft are opposed to any remedy
whatever.
“So far as i am aware," says Senator
Foraker. "it is universally admitted
that in the past, many evil practices
have obtained, hut some of them still
obtain: that none of them should he
allowed to continue; that an efficient
and expeditious remedy should be pro-
vided against all of them, insofar as
legislation ean provide. The sole dif-
ference is as to whether conferring the
rate making power on the Interstate
Cotniinerce commission is the only or
even a necessary remedy My conten-
tion is that It Is unqualifiedly the
worst."
Senator Foraker says that If there
be any occasion for conferring rate-
niaklng power on the Interstate Com-
merce commission it is not In his opin-
ion to lie found In the necessity of
heading off and defeating any move-
mem of a populistic character under
the direction of Mr. Bryan or any such
political leader ns suggested by Sec-
reiary o’afi.
These discriminations consist not
only of discriminations between ship-
pers and localities, hut. discrimina-
tions belween commodities. 4n classi-
fication. by means of terminal charges,
elevator charges, refrigerator charges
and devices ton numerous to mention.
This has been a most, serious trou-
ble." continues the senator "We un-
dertook to deal with li when we pass-
ed the Elkins law.
“There Is no reason whatever why
If any locality thinks It Is discrimi-
nated against or any shipper thinks he
is discriminated against, application
should not. he forthwith made for relief
and relief secured If the charge can
he sustained, for the court is by the
statute expressly Invested with full Ju-
risdiction to entertain the complaint
and administer a complete remedy.
This statute has been in force ever
since the 19th of ebruary, 1903.
"If Secretary Taft or anybody else
will tell me wherein this remedy Is
deficient or tell me In what manner a
better remedy can be provided by con-
ferring rate-maklng power on the In-
terstate Commerce commission, we
shall then have reached the point
where glittering generalities ean be
dismissed and intelligent discussion
mav commence."
Senator Foraker outlined the na-
ture' of the' change which he would
make In (he present law In the fol-
lowing:
“Answering Secretary Taft's sugges-
tions that the burden of ail litigation
should be placed on the railroads, It
is no hardship on the shipper or di-
rect benefit to him to require his pro-
ceeding to be under this statute, and
It Is and will be when amended, for
because of the fact that then- cannot
be one change made without necssi-
tat.ing hundreds and perhaps thou-
sands of others, every such proceed-
ing would not he for the benefit of
the complaining shippers alone, gut
for a whole community of siilucers
hundreds and probably Ihoitsands
made the proceeding would therefore
in fact, he in the behalf of the public
and should be in the name of the
government and at the expense of
the government or railroads as the
courts may diem Just and equlUbe,
and in no case at the expense of the
shipper.
Should First File
Complaint Before Commlesion.
"These proceedings should lie com-
menced by complaint, filed with the
interstate commerce commission,
which should conduct only prelim-
inary investigations to the extent of
determining whether or not there is
probable ground, and when that point
is reached tbe whole matter should
be turned over to the authorities to
be prosecuted, not before a
court, which 1 think would
review upon complaint made by courts
skilled in the wetghlng of testimony,
analysis of facts and application of
the law and the same courts to
which, by the proposed legislation or
any other legislation that may be
suggested, the controversy will habe
to be submitted anyhow at some
stage of the proceeding; for we could
not if we so desired take away from
the parties to the controversy the
right to submit their contentions to
the courts for final adjudication.”
ARGENTINE GOVERNMENT.
Negotiations Terminated for An Im-
mense Funding Loan.
Buenos Ayres. Oct. 24.—The gov-
ernment terminated negotiations with
the Belgian and French bankers to
contract a loan with the object of
redeeming the funding loan. The
government thus has £7,500,000 for
the purpose, viz., £4,000,000 from
Baring Bros., of London; £2,000,000
from French bankers and £1.500,000
from Belgium. t
Rio Janeiro advices state O. Palz
says it Is not true that Brazil is about
to contract a loan to increase the
navy. The government will recog-
nize Its naval forces in accordance
with the resolution of congress avail-
ing Itself of its ordinary revenues.
Partisons of the revision of the con-
stitution began organizing a league
for that purpose. They intend to
present C&lero Sodre, leader of tho
last revolutionary attempt, as n can-
didate for the presidency, They have
the support of the opposition ele-
ments in several slates.
A dispatch from Montevideo says
the colored, or government party, has
resolved to . nominate Dr. Willi-
man, minister of the interior, as can-
didate for the next presidency. The
announcement Is well received by
public opinion.
Says She Did Not Kill Father.
Portland, On. 23.—A special dis j
patch from Jacksonville, Ore., says
that when confronted wlih the state-1
ment of her brother I hat she had mur-
dered their father, Dora Jennings in-
sisted that she did not commit the
crime. The girl Is apparently indiffer-
ent to the charge made by her broth-
er and refuses to go into details re-
garding her knowledge of the tragedy
At the coroner's Inquest she stated
that she found her father dead when
she awoke on th morning following
the murder, but how he came to his
death she could not slate. "1 heard
no sound, no shot, no noise, nor any
disturbance whatever," she said dur-
ing the- Inquest.

ber of officers, he made a half hour

and the city.
STOCK BREEDERS MEET
INTERESTING SUBJECTS DISCUSS-
ED AT GEORGIA CONVENTION.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 26.—St. Peters,
burg was In a wild panic today, but to
a large extent apparently without rea-
son. The most alarming rumors were
In circulation, and the shopkeepers on
all except a few of the principal streets
closed their stores and boarded up the
doors Hitd windows, while peaceful
minded people kept within doors. Anx-
iety was evidenced in the whole at-
mosphere of the city, hut so far noth-
ing lias occurred to justify these fears.
General Trepoff, who has been
placed In command of the St. Peters-
burg garrison and given an additional
division of reouforcements, declares
that lu- is amply able to maintain or-
der and the police are allowing strik-
ers to vent their enthusiasm, so as to
avoid a conflict.
By the greatest exertions the gov-
ernment today succeeded In moving
trains manned by military operatives
on a few railroads. Traffic was re-
sumed Irregularly on the Moscow and
St. Petersburg railroad and on lines
from' Moscow to Brest and Kazan. A
scanty supply of milk, butter and eggs
is arriving in St. Petersburg over the
Finland railroad. The situation, how-
ever, cannot be regarded as much im-
proved. The most encouraging feature
is the absence o any widespread dis-
order.

Macon, Ga., Oct. 26.—The first an-
nual meeting of the Georgia Dairy
