He appeared in good health with the exception of his ever- present rheumatism. Beau- tiful weather greeted him as he crossed over from Kentucky into the Hoosier State. The Senator snoke in the open air at Willard Market, where he was greeted by 10,000 people. In the alloted twenty minutes he spoke on the prosperous condition of the coun- try, the issues of the Democratic party, which he declared were nothing, and of the coming union of capital and labor as thé great factors in the advancement of the country. He denounced Tom L. John- son’s free trade and single tax platform in Ohio. In eonclusion he appealed for a Republican Congress to uphold President Roosevelt in at he has attempted for the welfare of the country. He was cheered vociferously at the end - HANNA'S MANY SPEECHES. Continues to Pay His Respects to “One Tom L. Johnson.” INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 23.—Senator Hanna devoted the day to speech-mak- ing in Indiana. He began to-day's work this morning at Evansville and between that eity and Indianapolis he made nine stops. At Linton, where the crowd was made up largely of miners, the Senator discussed the recent anthracite strike. In this eity he spoke to a large audience in Tomlinson Hall to-night. He sald 1in part: “Over in Ohio we have an issue and it is a eircus tent. One of our distinguished citizens, one Tom L. Johrson, is the fis- sve. And his proposition 1s to the Amer- ican people, because while he is talking to the people of Ohio he is talking over their heads to the whole country. There is no limit to his ambition and the prop- osition that he makes is that he is ab- solutely in favor of free trade and a sin- gle tax.” Senator Hanna nearly’ broke down at the close of the speech.

JOHNSON ON THE WARPATH. 'Ohio Democratic Leader Excoriates Members of His Own Party. CINCINNATI, Oct. 22.—Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland, who is recognied as the Democratic leader in Ohio this year, as the probable opponent of Sen- ator Hanna next year and a candidate for the Presidency in 1904, created a sensa- tion here to-night by attacking certain elements in his own party, especially John R. McLean, both individually and as the proprietor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and Louis G. Bernard, as chairman of the Democratic committee of Hamiiton Coun- ty. Mayor Johnson's had all the standing room taken, and many people were unable to gain admit- tance. It was generally expected that Mayor Johnson would devote his time mostly to replying to the address’ .of Seriator Hanna here last night, which was largely devoted to Johnson and his issues. While Johnson referred to Hanna's speech in the most caustic terms, he de- voted his speech mostly to what he termed “The local traitors in the Dem- ccratic party,” and his references to Mc- Lean and Chairman Bernard were as bit- ter as his fluent language could make them. He not only read them out of the party, but challenged them to meet him in bis tent or elsewhere on the charges that he made politically against them. . Charles W. Baker, who was the Dem- ocratic. caucus = nominee for Senator against Foraker before the Legislature last winter, presided and opened the meeting with eulogles of Johnson and Bigelow. Bigelow was the first speaker and made a bitter attack on Chairman Bernard. He said he haa nothing per- sonally against Bernard, but “politically 1 abominate and denounce everything for which he stands. We cannot ask Republi- cans to vote against the boss in their party when we have a worse boss in our party.” Bigelow reviewed the speeches of For- aker and Hanna at the Republican meet- ing last night and thesr connection with the street railroads, and announced that Mayor Johnson had offered to take the street railroads of Cincinnati -at much above thir cost and give the people a three-cent fare. drlerfuiefoirfooiesfoafefririoimiefrint it @ The first | influence to cause both parties to accept | arb¥ration.” The Chamber then adjourned.

The Minister's dispatch, received at noon to-day, stated that Monte Christi had been taken by the Government forces after hard fighting; that ‘the chief revolu- tionist (not named) had not been cap- tured and that many of the most promi- nent citizens of the place had been ar- rested for treason.”, PROTECTS THE FOREIGNERS. Cruiser Cincinnati ds an Asy- lam Buring - g CAPE HAYTIEN, Oct. 23.—~The Unitea States cruiser Cincinnati 'has returned here from Monte Christi, Santo Domingo, She confirms the report that the Domin- ican Government troops have recaptured that port. The fighting, which was very severe, lasted two days. The foreign residents of Monte Christi sought refuge on the Cincinnatl while the battle was in progress. The Cincinnati left here yesterday for Fort de Paix, Hayti, to protect foreign interests there. United States Minister Powell has had a long interview with the Dominican Gov- ernment regarding the improvement com- pany’s affairs. A prompt settlement is expected, but the conditions are as yet unknown. —_— PRESIDENT NOT SATISFIED WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS Declares Work on the White House and Executive Office Buildings Is Botched. WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. — President Roosevelt has expressed himself vigorous- ly regarding the shortcomings of both the White House improvements and the new executive offices building. The executive building alone cost: $65,000. It comprises six rooms on one floor and a basement. 1t is squat, cheap-looking and plain. The interior is bare and rude in appearance. Painted pine mantels, dreary wall spaces and general up-and-down squareness characterize the structure. It is said that the greatest architects in the country were consulted in order that this building should harmonize with its environments, |As a result it gives the impression of a rudely aggressive brick shanty. ‘When the architects had completed their work it was ascertained that no vault for coal had been provided and yesterday work was started to add this necessary appurtenance. Now it is found by the furnacemen that no provision has been made for the disposal of ashes. There is neither a vault nor any con- venient means of depositing the ashes so that the scavengers can reach them. They must be dragged through the house and dumped into an ashcart without the slightest assistance from modern meth- ods. That this unornamental box build- ing should have cost $65,0000 is a marvel to Washington. President Roosevelt declares the work a “botch.” ot POLITICAL SENSATION IS SPRUNG IN MONTANA BUTTE, Mont., Oct. 23.—One of the greatest sensations sprung within the po- litical arena of this State in which a number of millionaires are struggling for supremacy, was the statement of Charles W.'Clark, son of W. A. Clark, millionaire mine owner, which appears in the Miner to-morrow. Above his cwn signature Clark declares he was offered a bribe of $2,500,000 to assist Heinz in securing con- trol of the Legislature, that two more Supreme Court Justices might be se- lected. These Judges would be named by Governor Toole, one of Heinz's alleged lieutenants, and in litigation with the |THREE EUROPEAN POWERS WILL EVACUATE SHANGHAI Great Britain, Germany and France Bring About an Important Extension of the Open Door Policy, in Which the United States Will Also Be Benefited in Future Trade With China o ARIS, Oet. 23.—From author- itative sources the corre- spondent of the Assoclated Press has learnmed that France, Great Britain and ~-Germany.have concluded an agreement providing for the military evacuation of Shanghai by their forces. The negotiations have also brought about an important extension of the open door | policy as urged by Secretary Hay. The agreement affects not only Shanghai, but the entire Yangtse-Kiang Valley, which the powers are seeking to develop for commercial purposes. evacuation is still open, but a leading official of the foreign office expressed the belief that it will undoubtedly be accom- plished by January 1. About 1200 troops will participate in the evacuation. In the evacuation each power having furnished about an equal number of troops since the Chinese crisis became acute, France initiated the negotiations, as it was felt that there was no further need for maintaining a military establish- ment at Shanghal. The first stages of the negotiations resulted in agreement on two points; the first was favorable to the evacuation; the second was that in case any power intended to resume the mil- itary occupancy of Shanghai the other powers were equally entitled to resume its occupancy. Germany then proposed that China be asked for assurances of equility of treat- ment of the powers. China gave these assurances and the officials here say extension of the open door policy in the Yangtse-Kiang region. Although the na- ture of the commercial equality is not specified, the agreement is-that the mil- itary and other rights of the powers shall be on an equal footing. The United States is not a direct party to the nego- tiations, but has been fully advised of the intention of the three powers. At one stage of the negotiations Secretary Hay advised Foreign Minister M. Del- casse threugh Embassador Porter that the United States Government was in full sympathy with the plan and hoped for an early agreement on the subject. The officials here say the United States shares in the benefits of the agreements as to equality in treatment. The date of the IRISH NATIONALISTS CAUSE ANOTHER SCENE Violently Challenge the Spel_-ker’s Rulings and Ask All Kinds of Irrelevant Questions. LONDON, Oct. 23.—Another scene was caused by the Irish Nationalists in the House of Commons to-day on identical lines with those which have almost daily marked the present session. The Nation- alists bombarded the Chief Secretary for Treland, Wyndham, with all kinds of ir- relevant questions, and when the Speaker barred the attack in this direction the Nationalists moved an adjournment of the house in order to discuss some trivial- ity which. happened during ll# session. When the Speaker ruled the jotion out of order great disorder followed.. Na- tionalist after Nationalfst 'sprang to his feet and violently challenged the Speak- er's ruling.

REDDING, Oct. 28.—The faithful watch dog of John Lukens, living in the Manton country southeast' of Redding, rescued the five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lukens from a horrible death Wednesday. The Jittle boy had accompanied his elder brother on:a hunting trip into the Woods near the family homestead and the dog accompanied them. The brother started in pursuit of a squirrel and the liftle fellow lagged behind. The dog remalned ‘with the younger child. In a few mo- ments the elder brother heard:cries and the barking of the dog. He hurried back | and’ found the dog and a large brown bear engaged In a terrific combat. Lying on the ground near by screaming and suf- fering from numerous slight scratches on the head, face and body was the child. The little fellow had been attacked by the bear and but for the timely rescue of the dog would surely have been killed. | Lukens quickly dispatched the bear with als rifle, 3 s Bty FBv Y States to move discreetly in approaching the other nations on this subject, but the advances were well received and it soon appeared that the only difficulty in bring- ing about the desired evacuation was the indisposition of each of the occupying powers to take the initiative. The last to hold out was England, and as late as last week it was stated that she was ob- Jecting simply for the purpose of making sure of getting a fair share of certain im- portant trade advantages in the exploit- ation of the Yangtse-Kiang Vi . It is gathered from the Shanghal adVices of to-day that this object has now been se- cured, and it is of course certain, net- withstanding the fact that the United States does not sign the treaty of evacu- ation, that we will participate in these advantages. KING OF SIAM WILL FOLLOW SON’S VISIT Asiatic Ruler Prepares to Become the Guest of the United States. NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—Interest in the Crown Prince of Slam was somewhat overbalanced to-day by the news that his father, the King of Siam, is soon to visit this country as a guest of the nation. The renewal of the rumer to that effect, printed several months ago, was current aboard the United States dispatch boat Dolphin, on which the Crown Prince and " his suite went to West Point, and the ap- proaching visit may be safely referred to ‘as a fact. “aue King intimated to Secretary Hay some time ago that he would like to be invited to this country and that in antiel- pation of such an invitation the Council of State of Stam had authorized an appro- priation of 1,000,000 ticals to defray the expenses of the King In this country. A tical is a Siamese coin worth about & cents in United States money. 5 — Excites the Peruvians.
