DAYTON, Ohfo, Oct. 16.—When Gover- nor Roosevelt arrived in Dayton he was tendered a public reception at a hotel and later was escorted by a parade to the fair grounds, where he addressed a large crowd. Stops had been made at Middle- town and Miamisburg, where the Gover- nor spoke to large audiences, at the lat- ter place using the front porch of the Mizmi Steel Company’s main office as a platform. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 16.—Not once since the great Blaine demonstration 1886 has this clty been so crowded with visitors as it is to-night, the occasion of the appearance here of Governor Roose- velt. Every hotel Is full and hundreds of those who came to see or hear the Governor are being cared for at the homes of residents of Columbus. Ten speeches made to large audiences since leaving Cincinnati at 8 o’clock this morning had not impaired the Governor's vocal organs, ror did he show any evidence of fatigus | when he was Introduced at the Audito- rium at 9:30 p. m. An impatient throug had been waiting him nearly two hours. The Roosevelt special arrived nere at 7:30 and for two hours the Governor rode in a brilliantly flluminated electric car iu a great parade which traversed High and other principal streets of this ciiy. parade was more than two hours passing | a given point and its-course was marked by a blaze of colored fire, 1ockets, firing of cannon and bursting of bombs. When he strode across the platform the Governor was greeted with a roar of ap- pianse. Yet he looked upon a smaller number of persons than composed the crowd that had been unable to find stand- ing room in the building. ‘When Governor Roosevelt rose to speak he was given such an enthuslastic greet- ing that for five minutes he could not make his voice heard in his endeavor to restore order. Governor Roosevelt severely criticized The | in Ohio for McKi [t Spoke'ised bu Mr. Bryan's attitude on Philippine | q and reviewed tory of Aguinaldo, pronouncing it a *‘career of in- famy.” He quoted from President Jefferson's in- structions to the commander of the Amer- ican armies which took possession of the Louisiana purchase to show that the ““consent of the governed” was not con- sidcred. The Governor will leave Columbus to- morrow morning at 7:30 over the Hocking Valley road for his second day in Ohio. To-morrow night he will speak in Cleve- Jand and at neon Thursday he will arrive in Wheeling, W. Va., having made twen- ty-seven specches in Ohio. | SOUTHERN REBELLION SPREADS British Torpedo-Boat Shells and Kills | Forty of the Rebels. | LONDON, Oct. 17, 4 a. m.—There i3 no | | confirmation of the reported capture of | Paoting-Fu, of which, according to the | Shhnghai Echo, M. Dochine, the French | Censul here, has received news. The re- port is generally discredited in London, especially as there is no direct telegraphic communication between Shanghai and | Paoting-Fu. Hongkong dispatches tell of the con- tinued spread of the southern rebellion. The Hongkong correspondent of the Daily Express sends a report that the British torpedo-boat destroyer Handy shelled | 2000 rebels who were advancing on San- chun, killing forty and wounding hun- dreds. This is -not confirmed from any other point. The evidence of Prince Tuan's continu- | ance in power causes anxiety. According to the Shanghal correspondent of the Merning Post it has produced a serious depression In trade there. Two Chinese banks have failed, others are expected to close and it Is rumored that the Russo- Chinese Bank is in difficulty, owing to the | removal of the Chinese court to the prov- ince of Shensl. Shanghal telegrams report that the local | mandarins have received a dispatch from Prince Tuan announcing that the court is now in safe keeping and exhorting them to have patience until winter decimates | the allies, to keep the arsenals in con- | stant work and “everything ready for a massacre of all foreigners when the | | proper time arrives.” | It is also reported that the Empress Dowager has issued a decree removing Liu Kung Wi, Viceroy of Nankin, from his post and ordering General Yung Lu to join her at Sian-Fu. The Shantun Boxers are returning to their homes. Twelve thousand of them were utterly | defeated outside of Sangchao, near the Chili border, by 5000 of Governor Yun Shi Kal's troops under General Mei. e Fatal Accident at Vienna VIENNA, Oct. 16—The facade of the Czech High School at Prossnitz, Moravia, toppled Into the street to-day, kill: leegn persons and injuring tm’ i rwhelming Vote nley Is Prom- | Mi nnesstans. | ATERTOWN, With an orig five stops In t ftinerars Senator Hanna's in stopped at fourteen towns in Minnesot- and South Dakota during the day. with Watertown for the principal stopping place. So much pressure was brought to bear by committees from various points along the line not inciuaed in the ftiner- by Minnesota and South Dakota ‘ongressmen through whose district the traln ran that Senator Hanna consented | to make brief talks at as many stations as was possible to include in the day's travel and nearly every town of any im- | portance through the valley of the Min- nesota River and across the prairies of Western Minnesota and Eastern Souin Dakota Senators Hanna and F Victor ‘Dolliver made speeches, varying in length from two to twenty minutes. s D., Oct. Progr: 16.— mme of ye ana Large crowds were present at nearly every stopping place, farmers in some in- stances composing a large part of the au-| dience and the speakers were interrupted | many times by questioners, though al- | ways apparently in a friendly spirit. In one or two instances in Minnesota, through that part of the State noted for its dairy industries and stock raising, the speakers paid some attention to the tarift question, but the speaking generally was on the trusts and prosperity. “That's all the people seem to care about,” said Senator Hanna to-night. “Ali they want apparently is to be assured of the continuance of the present conditions. The sentiment seems to be all one way, too. I can see nothing but an overwhelm- ing vote for McKinley in this section of the country.” The presence of school children in the | crowds was a feature of the day. At | several points, notably Marshall, Minn., the youngsters were present in large num- bers, 600 children in the public schools being included in the audience at Mar- shall. Crown Prince as Regent, CHRISPIANIA, Oct. 16.—Six members of the Norweglan State Council of Stock- holm, who are here in connection with the yroposed visit of King Oscar, have been telegraphed to return to Stockholm.

In- stantly there was a great rush by the peo ple from the Madison-avenue hallway and rom the Twenty-sixth-street entrance. which, according to police arrangements, were to be Kept clear for ticket holders. | In the first rush were a few women, who got near the speakers’ stand. In less than ry seat on the floor was oc ten minutes taken and the crowd, which had begun | to pour in from all sides, attacked the galleries.

Warming Up the Crowd. Then the band struck up a national air and as the people recognized “Yankee Doodle” they got up in their seats with uncovered heads and as they waved thou- sands of small American flags shouted out | the words of the song. The garden was decorated in the na- tional colors only. Streamers radiated from the center, from the roof, under- neath the light to the heads of the fron pillars over the galleries and festoons | of fiags with the colors of different States d the galieries. The speakers’ stand was drapd simply with Americar flags and red, white and blue bunting. At 6:30 o’clock the only seats remaining vacant In the entire garden was an occa- sional hox. the tickets for which remained good until 7 ¢'clock The crowd was or- derly, and frequent performances by the band brought out cnthusiasm.

The garden was jammed, but the police kept the aisies fairly vell cleared, and back of the gal- turn bt able space. Mr. Bryan Enters. Mr. Bryan entered the garden at 7:15 o'clock. As the face of Mr. Croker, be- hind which appeared Mr. Bryan's, was seen the crowd burst forth in one great prolonged yeil. Every one stood tiptoe on his seat and the garden was a sea of wav- ing flags. As Mr. Bryan, escorted by Mr. Croker, mounted the speakers’ stand the cheering was continued. The two climbed the stairs and made thelr way to the front, followed by the reception commit- tee. Mr. Bryan and Mr. Croker frequently |ty | tional responded to the cheering by bowing to the vast audience, and the faces of both were wreathed with smiles. Just behind the two as they mounted the platform, Mayor Van Wyck escorted Edward M. Shepard, who acted as chafr- man of the meeting. The cheering con- tinued, now dying down, now being re- newed with increased vigor. It continued for flve minutes, not abating when Mr. Bryan rose to his feet and raised his hands. Mr. Croker pulled him back into his seat. The cheering went on. Mr. Croker rose, hesitated a moment, then raised his hand for silence. Instead of ceasing the crowd broke forth louder than ever. Do what he could Mr. Croker could not silence the crowd. After fully fifteen minutes of cheering the applause began to decr . chee:gvund hl!!gl. the htt::.?or n:lll'::f:l:ed lasted 2 minute longer.

At 10 o'clock Mr. Bryan arrived at Cooper Union. His appearance on the piatform was the signal for ome of the most enthusiastic greetings ever accorded to any one man in Cooper Union. It fully five minutes before the enthusiasm subsided and the audience resumed its normal quietude. Then John Dewitt Warner, chairman of the meeting, intro- duced Mr. Bryan, who said: This is the fourth meeting for to- night that I have spoken at. It con- cludes the ratification held under the auspices of the Democratic party of this city and county and I am pre- pared to say great is Tammany and Croker as its prophet. He spoke at some length on the subject of Imperialism. It was 10:30 o’clock when Mr. Bryan and his party came out of Cooper Union. The crowd seemed to go crazy. It was the most dangeraus outlook of the evening and it seemed ws if scores were to be trampled under foot. Repeat- edly the police charged to get Mr. Bryan's carriage through, but every time the crowd came back. Night sticks were finally drawn and a lane opened long enough to let the Bryan carriage into Irving place. Through that street it went at a dash and up Broadway. Several hundred persons ran in pursuit and kept right after the carriage as escort to Union Square, while hundreds were on the curb. Toward Mad- ison Square the crowd tired and most of them dropped out, but an immense crowd was in front of the Hoffman House to meet Mr. Bryan when he got out of his carriage. er at Hoffman House. The dffiner tendered Mr. Bryan at the Hoftman House at 5:30 o'clock this after- noon was not held in the Moorish room, as at.first intended, but in. the salon Louis Quinze. Fifty covers were laid, an increase from what was first Intended. The room was beautifully decorated with laurel leaves, palms and evergreens. Mr. Bryan’s portrait, framed in a silk Amer- ican flag, was just behind the chair re- served for Mayor Van Wyck, the presid- ing officer. Fifteen persons sat at the table reserved for the guest of honor and other distinguished persons. The remain- ing guests sat at smaller tables. All the tables were decorated with flow. ers, roses predominating. The service was the best that the house could provide: wines of the most costly sort, the heaviest table ware, cut glass and the best of china. Although Mr. Bryan did not drink his wine, glasses were provided just as for the other guests. Mayor Van Wyck sat in an invald chair brought from Arabla. On either side of him, two and two, were special chairs, on which sat Mr. Bryan, Mr. Croker, Adlal E. Stevenson and William R. Hearst. The much disputed cost of the dinner was settled by the Hoffman House man- agement, who sald that the cost was per plate, exclusive of the wines. sm, " » he pledged the to T was
