It Is said that all of the -present members of the Cabi net, except Secretary Root and Secretary Wilson, trill not continue In the next Ad ministration, If McKlnley' Is elected. If this Is true, It Is probable that Root will be made Secretary of State, as he has taken considerable Interest In foreign af fairs. The coming striko in the Pennsylva nia anthracite regions Is giving the Re publican managers a great deal of con cern. It is feared that if the price of coal is advanced on account of the strike it "will cause a great loss of votes, and it is also feared that the strike itself Trill have effect in all other coal regions and among labor organizations. The mer its of the question will not enter into any consideration, any more than did the' merits " of the situation at Homestead, eight years ago, when that great strike had such a tremendous influence in the defeat of Harrison. It is believed that a, settlement is now impossible, although efforts are being made by very promi nent people to adjust the differences and avoid the strike.

Portland, Or. ROOSEVELT AT FARGO. Closed a. Day of Speeches In North Dakota and Minnesota. FARGO, N. D Sept. 14. Governor Roosevelt and his party of campaigners rested In Fargo tonight, after a day of speech-making In this state and Minne sota. The Governor addressed two meetings in Fargo. The first" was at the opera-house, which was the larger, and the other at the Armory. Preparations had been made for a large demonstra tion, but rain put a stop to the street parade and fireworks. At the opera house Governor Roosevelt .said in part: "This Nation has gone forward with the stride of a giant across the continent, and "how clasps with her hands the islands of the sea as the new century is about to open. Are we, tho heirs of the ages, we, who claim proudly that we stand foremost among the people of the earth, are we now to shrink back from what) Is but a little task, a task not needing tho expenditure of more than a frac tion of our huge might? Are wo, whose forefathers saw put Into the field 500,000 men and who fought to a finish, the giant Civil War, aro we to flinch from a lesser task,' a task so much less that it is not counted in the balance, which cannot be weighed when compared with the other? Are -wo to' open 'ihe 20th century by fllnQhing and saying -we ncyjopgor claim tf$e rJghVto 'stand amid thereat nations of the world and perform our duty? ' No; the American people cannot and -will not take such a position. To abanddn the Philippines now would not only be to show ourSelves -weaklings, to show our selves cravens unable to finish or perform. the tasks that Providence has laid upon us, but it would show that we had foully abandoned the men In those islands who had confided in our good faith. No, gen tlemen, I appeal to you to re-elect Presi dent McKlnley, because it has been given him to embody the cause of National prosperity and the broad doctrine that this American Nation never goes back ward." Earlier In the day Governor Roosevelt made a three-minute talk at Wilmot from the platform of the car. When the train arrived at Sisseton the rain was falling1 fast, and an open-air meeting was Impossible. A stand was erected near the trade, and a crowd with umbrellas stood to listen to the sneak ers. The Governor attempted to talk, but his sympathy for his hearers, who were bravely standing in the 'rain, caused him to desist He entered a car riage and was driven to the opera-house, whither the crowd followed him, and there he spoke a few minutes. This is on the border of the Sioux reservation. and a large number of Indians had come into the little town to lis'ten and see what was going on. On his return to the train from the opera-house, Governor Roosevelt observed a group of GO or more Indians standing on the street. Ho Jumped out of the carriage and shook hands with the members of the group, to their evident delight, and distributed a handful of McKlnley buttons among the crowd. The train then started on Its return journey to Milbank, where it arrived at 1:30 o'clock, remained 30 minutes, and proceeded to Ortonvllle, Minn., where it arrived at 6 o'clock. Here some more speeches followed in the rain. Governor Roosevelt, In the course of his speech, said: "You recollect four years ago the ap peal that was made through this coun try to one class against another and tho effort to array the West against the East, the workingman against the cap italist and the farmer against the busi ness man. You remember in 1892 when you were also told that some men had made too much money and wanted you to vote the capitalists down. I am sorry to say that the coup try did vote, and you got him down, but afterward we found that the rest of us were down under him. Wo -all went down that was the trouble. "We have the right to appeal to you on two grounds. In the first place, upon the ground that our deeds have squared with our promises. Mind you, that Is what a promise is worth. Second we have the right to appeal to you upon the ground that our opponents have made prophesies that came false four years ago. You can't recollect all of them. Mr. Bryan prophesied again and again at Minneapolis and at New York, where he addressed that noble band of reformers Tammany Hall; and at Indian apolis again and again he said: 'If you vote the Republican ticket times will be harder and harder.' Again, 'If you vote for the gold standard, you vote for four years more of hard times.' And again If you vote for the gold standard the farmer will And that the prices of his products will grow steadily lower.' Again, If you vote the Republican ticket the business men will And that the number of failures will Increase and the amount of bank deposits will decrease.' "Now I ask you not to take my word for It, but to think of your own expe rience and compare how things actually were; how the conditions were in your, own state and in your own town with what Mr. Bryan prophesied, and at the same time look over his speech and see what he said four years 'ago "and see If things have come out as he prophesied they would; so I ask you to support us because we have "kept our -word. What we want today Is to continue at Wash ington the men and the measures that have obtained and been put In practice there during- the past four years:.." At "WchsierUx WEBSTER, S. D., SeRt 14. The special train with the Roosevelt party. was met at the station here by an erithusiastio gathering. Governor Roosevelt spoke from the rear platform. He said if the Republicans had abandoned the Philip pines, the Democrats "would have pro , claimed it as having abandoned our duty and would have been running Mr. Bryan now so as to got the Philippines back." He said: "If Mr. Bryan lives, andI hope he will, for 35 years for I wish Kim well In his private life I have not the least doubt that ."he will be quoting McKlnley at that time with the same approval that he now quotes Lincoln." Short stops were mado at Summit and Mlllbank, at which brlet speeches were made by Governor Roosevelt and other members of his party. NOT WORRIED OVER JONES. Hie Declaration for Bryan "Will Not Hurt the Republicans. CHICAGO, Sept. 14. "I don't 'care whether Mayor Jones takc3 the stump or not. When he comes out for Bryan it means simply that McKlnley has lost just one vote and no more," said Sen ator Hanna, when questioned concern ing the declaratloh of the Mayor of To ledo, O., that while he would probably not run for Congress, he would mako speeches for Bryan, and Stevenson. "It -would be a bad year for him If he. were to run lor Congress," the Sen ator continued, "for the Republican par ty In Ohio Is amply able to carry the state, and Jones' own district, with him In the race or out of It I see Bryan is squaring off to come at us with the race question. I understand he will attack us on the dlsfranchisementyllne. Well, that will have little effect LetFItlm come down to Ohio and talk with taercofored people there and see what they"- think of the Republicans there.' This is a- day of news papers, and neither Bryan nor anybody else can shut the eyes of the, press. The public is bound to get the truth." Senator Hanna will speak at Delphi, Ind., tomorrow. Amongethe early visit ors at Senator Hanna's headquarters was Controller Dawes, wno had a long con ference with the Senator- and other Na tional Republican leaders. Mr. Dawes saw President McKlnley -before 'leaving Washington for the purpose, It Is said, of laying before the National committee the President's plans for the campaign. Clara Foltz, the lawyer, has been em ployed by Senator Hanna to make cam paign speeches. She has not been as signed as yet, but probably will begin her tour In Kentucky about October. 1. Two weeks later she will come to Chlcagc to make speeches here and elsewhere In Illinois. Delaware Factions Unite. DOVER, Del., Sept, 14.

ORDEROUT OF CHAOS Galveston Sets About Clearing Away the Wreckage. PLENTY - OP WILLING HANDS Heavy Bxodua From tno City "Water Snpply Renewed and Transpor tation Again Open. GALVESTON, Tex., Sept 14. The first real attempt to clear away the great mass of debris piled along the beach front for a distance of several miles was begun, today. Advertisements were print ed' In the News, which appeared this morning, asking for hundreds of men and off and the people who are living in topless house! are eager to obtain cov erings so as to prevent the destruction of what they have .saved If a rainstorm comes along. Thus far, however, the weather has been clear and there are no Immediate indications of 'a downpour. Work of Relief. The relief committees are steadily broadening the scope of their work. They have established bureaus for the issuance of orders and rations In every ward and though there Is a multitude surrounding every bureau, applicants are rapidly be ing taken care of. There seems no pres ent likelihood of Inability on the part of the committee to furnish all the rations that are asked for. There is, of course, a scarcity of fresh beef and of milk, but bread Is being provided In abundance as well as hams, potatoes, rice and other supplies. The sympathy felt for Galveston throughout the world ,was again evi denced this morning when local bankers were notified by cable that the Liverpool Cotton Exchange had subscribed 1000 for the relief of the sufferers and that more will follow.

They were formed into squads and promptly put to work with police and Deputy Sheriffs In charge. It is hoped that a vigorous prosecution of this work will lead to the early recovery of bodies still In the debris. That there are many of them there is no shadow of .doubt It is difficult Indeed to Imagine how half the people that did escape got free of this fearful mass of flotsam and Jet sam. An - Associated Press representative traversed the beach for some distance to day and the stench at different points was absolutely sickening. Everywhere little groups of men. women and chil dren, some of them poorly provided with raiment, were digging In the ruins of their homes for what little" household property they could save. In many cases those seeking their former residences were utterly unable to And a single rem nant of them, so helpless Is the confusion of timbers and household furniture. The exodus from the city was heavy today 'and hundreds were eager to go, but were unable to secure transportation. Along the bay front there were scores of families with dejected faces pleading to be taken from the stricken city, whore, in spite of every effort to restore confi dence, there is a universal feeling of depression. Shipping men say today that the dam age to the wharves Is by no means as serious as at first supposed. The chief damage has been the tearing opon of sheds and the ripping of planking. The sheds, however, can be quickly replaced. -The piling for a- considerable distance along the ""bay front successfully with stood the pounding It got from the wind and waves, and business men found a measure of consolation In this. .Water Snpply Renewed. More hopeful reports were received to day touching the water supply. The com pany Is placing men all along the mains plugging the broken plates and thereby assisting the flow. It was serving some of its customers today and hopes gradual ly to Increase the service. The water continues to run by gravity pressure. The only difficulty the people are having is in carrying supplies to their homes or places of business. The Ice supply continues bountiful, and at many corners lemonade Is being served. More effective measures were taken to day to keep undesirable people off tho Island. Soldiers patrolled the water front ,and challenged all who could not show a proper reason "for their landing or who were unwilling to work for the privilege of coming Into town. Assurances have been received by the railroads that they will do all In their power to reopen communication and their present plan seems to be to concentrate all forces on the work of reconstructing one bridge. Crews are coming down the Santa Fe Railroad from Arkansas and St. Louis with full equipment to restore the line. Local representatives of the Southern Pacific have had advices from headquarters to proceed with repair work without delay. Telegraphic communication has been partly restored, the Western TJnlon and Postal having reached the city with one wire each. Large forces have been at work along the lines of both compa nies and connection with Galveston has "been attended with many difficulties. A larger number of business houes than yesterday are opened and are advertising their wares at no advance In price. Carts with disinfectants are going through the streets. The gutters are be lnir covered with lime. Carpenters are having all the work they dan do. The storm tore hundreds of rpofe recorded during the flood was reported to day when news came that a United States batteryman on duty at the fort last week had been picked up on Mor gan's Point, wounded but alive. He had buffeted the waves for five days and lived through a terrible experience, Mor gan's Point Is 30 miles from Galveston. Lists" of the dead are far from perfect The Identity of all who have been lost will never be known. Much attention has been attracted by the dispatch of Quartermaster Baxter to the department, expressing the belief that Galveston has been hopelessly ruined. Congressman Hawley last night sent the following telegram to the War Depart ment In reply to that of Quartermaster Baxter: "While it may not be significant or worthy of notice, I have the honor to state that Quartermaster Baxter's tele gram to the Quartermaster-General re specting Galveston Is unworthy of a sol dier and In no way represents the morale of Galveston citizenship and their de termined purpose to restore their city." The Cotton Exchange building proved to be one of the strongest during the storm. Windows were smashed on every floor and on every side and much dam age was done to the cotton-rooms and the various offices in the building, but no portion of the walls or roof gave way.

RA8B1 IS INSTALLED Dr. Stephen S. Wise at Beth Israel Tempie. NEW PASTOR WARMLY WELCOMED: Them of His Fiswrt Beraoa Is tho Covenant With the Congrega tion His One Demand With simple but impressive ceremonies, witnessed by an assemblage entirely fill ing the spacious auditorium Dr. Stephen S. Wise was last evening- Installed a3 rabbi of the Beth Israel Congregation, la tho Temple, at Twelfth and Main streets. 33r. Wise came to Portland, from tho Madison-Avenue Synagogue, of New York, which has been his charge, for seven years. During this time his Tepu tation as a. scholar, as an enthusiast In his chosen career for which nature seems to have especially fitted him, and as a thinker, writer and orator of exceptional power, has become wide spread. 'Young; of magnetic disposition, pleasing Individ ually, thoroughly Imbued with the spirit of his faith, the descendant of a line of rabbis and the son of a father whoso memory as a teacher In Israel Is treas ured and revered by his people generally, those who were permitted to listen to him last evening can understand the regret with which his New York congrega tion lost him and can thoroughly con gratulate Beth Israel and tho Pacific Northwest on his acquisition. The theme of his Initial sermon wa3 tho covenant between his congregation and himself. On his part he demanded only one condition and he sent more than a thrill through his audience when he de clared with great emphasis: "Thl3 pulpit shall bo free." He reached his climax on this subject with the words: "In a day of mad and ceaseless pursuit after worldly possessions, of enmities be tween the rich and the poor, or preju dices between people and people, of ha tred between creeds, tho Jewish pulpit true to the precept and example alike of prophet and saga In Israel, must plead in the name of the fatherhood of God for such toleration and love as shall bring ever nearer and nearer the dawnlnff of the era of the brotherhood of man." The altar vms tastefully adorned with palms, ferns and ivy while trailing rose bushes drooped In fragrant beauty from the organ loft Long before tho hour 3et for the usual Friday evening services every seat was occupied and as the organ strains accompanying the ancient Hebrew chants filled the building- with solemn harmony, the earnest Interest pervading the congregation was plainly evident Among tha many citizens present, not members of the congregation, were vari ous ministers of the city churches. Rev. Alexander Blackburn, Rev. W. P. Lord, Rev. Edgar P. Hill, Rev- A. W. Acker man- Rev. J. F. Ghoxmley and others with whom the new incumbent is expected to labor, for tho moral welfare, of. tha com munity. Dr. Jacob Bloch, the retiring rabbi, "Who has been the faithful and able leader and teacher of Beth Tsrael for the past 16 years, conducted, the regular service and Invoked In eloquent and touching terms the blessing and favor of heaven upon the work of his successor and those with whose Joy3 and sorrows he had been so long and closely connected. Hon. Solo mon HIrsch, president of the congrega tion, expressed the sentiments of those whose call RabbL Wise had accepted, and pledged to him their support and encour agement Mr. HIrsch said: ve are here tonight to extend a cor dial welcome to our city, to our homes, and to this sacred edifice, to the gifted rabbi whom Beth Israel has chosen for its future spiritual leader, and to see him installed Into his holy office, by one of Israel's most distinguished teachers and guides. "This congregation, which so heartily welcomes you. is not of very recent ori gin: but few more yeara will have passpd ere half a century will have measured its existence. It wa3 founded and organized by earnest and God-fearing men: men born on foreign soil, who, for the sake of their religious convictions, left friends and kindred to seek new homes in a land strange and unknown to them.. In their native land It was not possible for thorn to worship God as their fathers had done, without frequently subjecting themselves to ridicule and serious persecutions. "Soon there began to come to them at not Infrequent Intervals rumora of tho existence of a great but far-off country beyond tho seas where religious liberty was said to prevail; .where people wero permitted to worship God according to xho dictates of their own conscience- and where man "wns Judged by what he dM, and not by what he believed. Towards that country , these men and women turn ed their faces, and wended their steps, never halting until the free- soil of Amer lea was reached. What had been but vague jumor proved, upon their arrival on these shores, to be actual reality. They made homes for themselves and their families and prospered in their xm dertakings. In the hour of their pros perity they did not forget the religion, which they held so sacred, and for the sake of which they had made so many sacrifices to seek and find what has since proved to them an earthly para dise In the land today beloved by them and their descendants beyond the power of words to express. "Somo few of these men and Jomen found their way to this coast with the tide of immigration which came In such great numbers in the early '50s. and through them and their efforts this con gregation had Its 'birth. "Beth Israel has reason to be proud c Its history. It was the nucleus around which tho Jewish population of Oregon rallied, and from which, as from tho par ent stem, sprang from time to time our various Jewish congregations and asso ciations. It has ever borne and held aloft the banner of Judaism on this Northwest Coast Though many of its founders and early members have gone to Join the great majority, yet thanks to an overruling Providence, quite a num ber are still with us tonight to assist in welcoming our new leader. May God, In his manifold mercy, vouchsafe to them yet many more yeara of usefulness In our midst Among our rabbis and teachers have been men of distinguished learn ing and piety, to whose unselfish labors much of the success of Beth Israel Is due: two of whom, whose many years of administration are a part of Portland's history, are with U3 here tonight "Time, however, in its flight, ever ad monishes that In the regular course of nature those of U3 who have earnestly labored In behalf of Jewish affairs and Judaism must pass on to other and younger shoulders the burdens and re sponsibilities connected with the active and continued advancement of our be loved congregation. Upon a new genera tion, born in these blessed United States, and unacquainted, except by hearsay, with the sacrifices made by their fa thers In he upholding of Judaism, must fall these cares and responalblUtiea, That (Concluded on Eighth Pago4
