The society item from Newport to the effect that the Duchess of Marl borough “appeared at Mrs. Fish’s col- onial dinner in a pink wreath and black velvet ribbons” indicates that either the duchess or the reporter omitted something. ROOSEVELT’S TRIP END PRESIDENT IS COMPELLED TO SUBMIT TO THE SUR- GEON’S KNIFE. ABSCESS REMOVED FROM LEG !CAUSED BY BRUISE RECEIVED IN THE ACCIDENT AT PITTSFIELD. WESTERN TOUR ENDS ABRUPTLY HE RETURNS TO WASHINGTON WHERE HE MUST SEEK A SHORT REST. Indianapolis, Sept., 24. — President Roosevelt’s Western trip came to an untimely end in this city yesterday. He was found to be suffering from a swelling in the left leg between the knee and the ankle that required im- mediate surgical attention, and instead of being taken to the train to continue his journey to Fort Wayne and Mil- waukee, he was conveyed to St. Vin- cent’s hospital, where he was operated upon. The ope:ation occurred at 3:45 o'clock, and lasted only a short time, when he was taken to a private room in the hospital to rest. After taking a light lunch at 7:50 p. m. he was con- veyed on a stretcher to his train, which had been backed up on the Y near the hospital, and at ten minutes to 8 o’clock the train left for Washington. Every effort had been made to keep the knowledge from the public of what was to occur. The trip from the Columbia club to the hospital had been Carefully Planned, and the thousands who cheered the president along the streets thought he was headed for the depot. From the time the president left the club until he found himself in a hospital sur- rounded by a cordon of police and sol- diery not more than ten minutes elapsed. The first public knowledge of the true state of affairs came in the form of a bulletin which was issued by Sec- retary Cortelyou, and in a short time the newspaper offices were the center of excited crewds. After the president entered the op- eratitng room with the physicians he sat down on a stool and waited for. in- structions from the physicians and sur- geons, watching their preparations with keen interest. ' “I am awfully sorry that I cannot continue my Western trip,” said he. “Can’t you let me go ahead with it af- ter this thing is over?” Several of the surgeons turned to him, and one said: “It is my opinion that you would be very indiscreet to continue on your feet, as would be necessary in your speech-making trip, after the opera- tion. This is by no means a serious thing, and there is absolutely no danger of serious consequences from it if you are careful and stay, off your feet until the trouble is over. But you should by all means, Mr. President, dis- continue your trip.” President Is Resigned. “Very well, then, it will have to be that way,” said the president resigned- ly. “I will do as you gentlemen say. Now, what do you want me to do.” The president was told to remove his shoes and stockings and nether garments. He then walked to the op- erating table alone, and as_ he lay down he remarked with a smile: “Gentlemen, you are formal. I see you have your gloves on.” This wag# reference to the antiseptic gloves of the surgeons. “Mr. President,” said a surgeon, with a smile, “It is always in order to wear gloves at a president’s reception.” This caused the president to Jx- clainr: “Good; well said.” is The operation began without delay. The pain caused the president to mut- ter several times in a low voice, but he said nothing that was distinct except to ask for a glass of water before the needle had been removed. After the operation was over he made several laughing remarks con- cerning trivial matters and asked if he would be allowed to use his leg long enough to walk upstairs himself. “You will be hauled upstairs in a wheeled ambulance,” said a surgeon. When they brought the vehicle in the president said: “Why, that’s a wheel- barrow.” Carried on a Stretcher. After being taken to the upper room from the operating room the president was served with a light luncheon and chatted pleasantly to those in the room. He made several kind remarks to the attending nurses about the trouble he was causing and shifted his position several times nervously. At 7:40 p. m. a white blanket was thrown around him and he was placed on a hospital stretcher and escorted by a company of infantry, was carried to the car, a block away, by four negro porters from the train. He bade good- bye to the nurses as he was being car- ried out of the hall to the elevator and thanked them for their kindness. He did not talk during his trip to the car. Senator Fairbanks, Gov. Durbin’ and other prominent citizens were at the train to bid him good-bye. The swelling of'the president’s leg which made an operation necessary is occasioned by a bruise he received at the time of the trolley car accident at Pittsfield, Mass., when the president’s carriage was run into and demolished, by a car. Besides Being Injured in the face and across the eye, the president at that time received a | blow upon the inner part of the left ; leg between the ankle and the knee, | but through his characteristics, he paid no attention to it, oring it as being a slight bruise not worth talking about. For several weeks he took no heed of it, but finally it began to pain him so jas to enforce his attention. After starting on his Western trip he detter- mined that perhaps Dr. Lung, who was aboard the train, should examine it. The doctor did so and pronounced it to be a serious matter. When in Detroit the doctor finally declared that something would have to be done. Af- ter consulting with Dr. Richardson, another. member of the party, it was decided that in order to avoid the pos- sibility of blood poisoning it would probably be wise to have an operation performed. The president was very much averse to anything of the kind being done. But nevertheless when Logansport, Ind., had been reached he Had Been Prevailed Upon to deliver the tariff speech which had been prepared for delivery at Milwau- kee, and which was regarded as one of the most important of his proposed speeches for the West. At Logans- port Senator Beveridge boarded the train, and after a consultation with him it was decided that he should summon several of the best physicians of Indianapolis to meet the president, and with this object in view the sen- ator telegraphed to Dr. George H. OT ver, Dr. George J. Cook and Dr. Henry Jameson to be at the Massachusetts Avenue depot. When the train pulled into the station the doctors were there and they were taken by the senator im- mediately into the president’s car. The physicians accompanied the party to Tomlinson hall, and it was thought by those who noticed them that they were merely present as mem- bers of the reception committee. When the president arose to acknowledge the reception given him at the hall, ana also when he got up from his seat to make his speech It Was Noticed by those near him in the front of the hall that he stood with all his weight on his right seemed so awkward and so much like a pose that it caused more than one comment. Little did any one think that he stood in the way he did be- cause of the pain in his left leg. Dur- ing the delivery of his speech, when he had become aroused, he stood on both legs, and at one point in the speech he seemed to forget about his injury so completely that he took sey- eral steps, and in doing so hit his leg against a gun that was stacked with others on the stage. An expression of pain passed quickly over his face which was remarked upon by many listening to him, who could not under- stand why he should make such pe- culiar facial expressions. The trip to the Columbia club followed without any feature that would give even a president was at an end. Physicians’ Statement. At the,conclusion of the operation the physicians authorized the follow- ing statement: “As the result of the traumatism (bruise) received in the trolley acci- dent at Pittsfield, Mass., there was found to be a circumscribed collection of perfectly pure’serum in the middle third of the left anterior tibial region, the sac containing about two ounces, which was removed. The indications are that the president should make speedy recovery. It is absolutely im- perative, however, that he should re main quiet and refrain from using the leg. The trouble is not serious, but temporarily disabling.” President Rest Easily. Richmogd, Ind., Sept.’ 24.—President Roosevelt's train arrived here at 9:50. The president was resting easy and the wound on his leg shows no ill ef- fects of the trip from the hospital to the train. On the contrary the presi- dent suffered less pain than he has for several days. He passed the time during the run here in reading. He is cheerful and is lying in bed with his | leg propped up ona pillow. The train will run on a slow schedule, maintain- | ing about thirty miles an hour and is due to arrive in Washington at 6:30 this evening. He will be taken to 222 Jackson Place, where the temporary executive offices are located. A WARM RECEPTION. Greeting to the President at Indianap- olis Is Enthusiastic. Indianapolis, Sept. 24. — President Roosevelt was accorded a reception by the people of Indianapolis yesterday that was sincere, enthusiastic and en- tirely lacking in partisan bias. Men of all political faiths united with one accord in doing honor to him. Fer miles along the line of march thousands of people massed the side- walks and waited patiently for the passing of the presidential party. ‘Women predominated, and in response to continuous applause the president lifted his hat time and again. For at floor of the hall was evenly divided be- tween the veterans of the last two wars of the republic. The president was received with deafening cheers, and when he had concluded his ad- dress the audience arose en masse and cheered him time and again. Carriages were then taken to the Columbia club. After the luncheon President Roosevelt made an address to a great throng of people from the balcony of the club. NO EXTRA SESSION. The President Cannot See Any Ne- cessity for Calling One. .Detroit, Sept. 24.—It may be denied on high authority that the president ‘intends to call a special session of congress next spring for the purpose of | considering tariff revision. The ne cessity for such a step is not now rec- ognized. It was stated that the presi- dent intended to declare his belief in a forthcoming speech that such a spe- cial session should be called. This also may be denied. NOVEL SUICIDE. Man Connects His Nostrils With Gas Burner. Wilmington, Del., Sept. 24—Merritt B.

DRUB SOLDIERS FOREIGNERS GET INTO AN ALTERCATION WITH THE NEWLY-ARRIVED MILITIA, Scranton, Pa., Sept. 24.—The calling out of the Thirteenth regiment had a quieting effect upon the riotous strik- ers and yesterday was comparatively free from lawlessness. ‘The only serious affair yesterday oc- curred at Olyphant, a short distatice from the camp of the soldiers an hour after their arrival. Two brothers, Bert and Charles Lundon of Jefferson township, while on their way to work at the Temple company’s Lackawanna colliery, were ambushed and_ shot down in the road. Bert is probably fa- | tally wounded. The other received only a flesh wound and will recover. Two non-union foreigners employed at the Grassy Island washery, near the Olyphant station, were on their way to work yesterday, and in passing the camp of the newly arrived regi- ment, got into an altercation with the soldiers and were seriously drubbed. The affair was reported to Col. Watres py Detective Crippen of the Delaware & Hudson company, and the offending soldiers will be court-martialed. Small groups of strikers and women of the neighborhood stood about the camp all day but made No Show of Hostility. All the companies of the regiment were on the ground by 4 o'clock yester- day afternoon. Three companies under command of Capt. Kambeck made a tour of the Priceburg district, in which some of Monday’s most serious dis- turbances occurred, but encountered no trouble. Yesterday afternoon Capt. Kambeck with one company was present at the hearing at Priceburg of District Super- intendent Burkheiser of the Ontario & Western company, who, with Deputy Sheriff McAndrew, was arrested for shooting Adam Taylor, one of a crowd of strikers with whom they exchanged shots. at Priceburg Monday night. There was a big crowd at the hearing, but there was no disturbance. Burk- heiser was held in $1,000 bail for court. The calling out of the troops had no apparent effect on the strike situation proper. No new collieries opened up and the companies reported that there was practically no change. They ex- pect, however, that with protection as- j sured, many men will return to work. Another Sheriff Wants Troops. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 24—At 1:45 this morning Sheriff Jacobs of Lu- zerne county, sent a telegram to Gov. Stone asking that troops be sent to | Wilkesbarre and vicinity. He says he is unable to cope with the situation. Several squads of deputy sheriffs were kept busy yesterday suppressing disorders. Last evening five carpen- ters employed at the Conyingham mine of the Delaware & Hudson company, while on their way home were held up by a crowd of men and boys. The car- penters discharged their revolvers in the air, which brought a large number of coal and iron police to their rescue. The officers fired a volley into the air and the crowd fled. Unknown parties placed several sticks of dynamite under the house of Joseph Harrison at Plymouth, but a timely discovery prevented the ex- plosion. | The non-union workmen at Plym- outh were held up and beaten. Twenty- five deputy sheriffs went to Warrior run to quell a disturbance there in which non-union men were attacked. | At Hughestown, ‘near’ Pittston, a crowd of men derailed a train carrying a number of non-union workmen to a , Washery. ‘ Troops to Lebanon. Harrisburg, Sept. 24. — Gen. Gobin last night was ordered by Gov. Stone to send the First battalion of the Twelfth regiment to Lebanon’ to as- sist the sheriff in preserving the peace where the iron and steel workers of the American Iron and Steel Manu- facturing company have been on strike for nearly five months. The battalion, which has been on duty at SChenandoah ever since the troops were sent there, left that town , last night for Lebanon, in command of Col. Clement. The troops reached Lebanon shortly before 8 o’clock. { A delegation from Lebanon called on the governor yesterday and requested that troops be sent to that city, where rioting occurred Monday evening among the strikers.

Bridgeman, recently deposed as Indian agent at the Fort Belknap agency, was arrested yesterday by Special Agent MeNichols on a charge of falsifying ac- counts. The grand jury has indicted him on thirty-nine counts, and it is stated that the case is the most seri ous of the kind the government has had in fifteen years. The alleged false accounts and fraudulent vouchers ag- gregate about $10,500, and cover a period of twenty-two months prior to Jast April, when Bridgeman was sus- pended. The offences were, it is al- leged, committed in purchasing sup- plies on the open market, where he was authorized to purchase lumber, hay and grain from the Indians at cer- tain prices. Instead of doing so, purchases were made from other parties at a much less price. Bridge- man is accused of pocketing the dif- ‘ference. It is stated that the govern- ment. has evidence against other parties involved in similar transac- tions which are being investigated. CLARK IS IN CONTROL. ic Convention. Helena, Mont., Sept. 24—The Demo- cratic convention which met at Boze- man yesterday had but two nomina- tions to make, one for associate jus- tice of the supreme court, and one for congressman.

There were two contest- ing delegations, one from Silver Bow county and one from Granite. One Silver Bow delegation was headed by United States Senator Clark and the other by F. Augustus Heinze. The state committee, by a vote of 21 to 4 decided to seat the Clark delegations. The committee also decided that the convention would meet at 5 o'clock with Senator Clark as temporary chair- man. Under the decision of the com- mittee the Clark people controlled the convention. WOMAN AND CHILD KIDNAPPED. Wealthy Chinaman Is Pushed for Ran- som Money.

Two men and a woman drove up to the house and entered. Later they emerged with the woman and child, who seemed gagged. Neigh- bors tried to interfere but the kidnap- pers drew revolvers and drove off, threatening the crowd. The police were unable to find any trace of the kidnappers. Yesterday Quon found a note under his door saying that he could recover the two by leaving $2,000 in a canon in the mountains. EXCURSION TRAIN HIT.

PERSHING’S PROFFER OF PEACE IS TURNED DOWN WITH SCORN. GEN. SUMNER IS AFTER THEM PLANS TO HEM THEM WITHIN SWAMPS AND*FORCE SUR- RENDER. ~ Manila, Sept. 24. — Capt. Pershing, who headed the expedition against the rebellious Moros in Mindanao, has re- turned to Camp Vicars. He simply reconnoitered the Maciu country. He discovered that it was strongly jntrenched, with a number of small forts commanding a peninsula sur- rounded by swamps. The sultan’s re- jected Capt. Pershing’s propositions for their surrender, as they regard their position as impregnable. Gen. Sumner, who is in command of the troops who are to proceed against the Moros, has sent messages to the sultan urging him to surrender, and also to return the horses he has stolen from the Americans, promising in re- turn that he, Sumner, will cease opera- tions, but if the sultan refuses he will send a second expedition against him. Gen. Sumner proposes to build trdils and surround the Maciu swamps com- pletely crushing the sultans, who are apparently the sole important rebels. Fighting the Moros. Washington, Sept. 24—-The war de- partment has received a cable dispatch from Gen. Chaffee dated Manila, Sept. 22, in which he says: “Capt. John J. Pershing, Fifteenth caval- ry, left Camp Vicars 18th of September with battalion of infantry, troop of cav- alry and platoon mountain battery.

Maciu about eighteen miles northwest mner instruct- ms as much as possible, and not to destroy property, the object being to obtain promise of non-in- terference with our troops in the future. Gen. Sumner now at Camp Vicars.” A portion of the dispatch was not made public. BURIED A'HUNDRED FEET. Jawbone of a Man Is Discovered by Well Drillers. Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 24—Drillers who are sinking an artesian well at Alexandria have found a decided curi- osity in the form of a part of a human jawbone. This in itself is not strange, but the curious feature is that it came from a depth of over 100 feet below the surface of the ground. How it came to be at so great a depth is a mystery which remains to be solved. It is believed by some that the bones may have belonged to a member of some pre-historic race.
