Indianapolis, Sent. 25. — President Roomveit’s Western trip came to an untimely end in this city yesterday. He was found to be suffering from a swelling of the left leg, between the knee and the ankle, that required im­ mediate surgical attention, and instead of being taken to his train to continu- tbe journey to Fort Wayne aud M il­ waukee, he was conveyed to St. V in ­ cent’s hospital, where he was operated on. The operation occurred nt 3:45 o’clock, and lasted only a short time, whet*be was taken to a private room in the hospital to rest. After taking a light luncheon at 7:30 P. M., lie was conveyed on a stretcher to his train, which had backed np on a “ Y " near the hospital, and at 7 :50 the train left for Washington. The accident which befell him at Pittsfield, Mass. , when a trolley car crashed into his carnage, is responsible for the sudden ending of the presi­ dent’s trip, and bis keing compelled to undergo the operation. In that.acci- dent his knee was badly bruised and an abscess quickly formed which gave him some trouble, but not enough at first to interfere with his plans. Dr. Long, his offiical physician, together with_Dr. Richardson, who accompanied him on the trip , deemed it advisable yesterday to consult other doctors. Accoidingly Drs. Olivet and Cook were relied to tlie Columbia club, where the president was to be entertained at lunch.'i They decided that an operation was neces­ sary, and that it should be performed at once. This decision was arrived at before luncheon, but was not allowed to interfere with the meal. The announcement came ns a thun­ derclap out of a clear sky. The presi­ dent appeared in such good health Otherwise that it wav “hard to believe that be was about to undergo an opera­ tion. He had delivered an -address earlier in the day before the Spanish- American war veterans, and also ad dressed .the citizens of Indianapolis, from tlie balcony of the Commercial club. He was the picture of ^health, and many comments were madp“during tlie early part of the day on how well he looked. I t was noticed, however, that he walked with a slight limp.

The Pioneer flouring m ill caught fire at 3:30 o'cloc« and was completely destroyed, together with an 'adjothing grain elevator. The flames spread rapidly and in a short time the Island City Mining A M illing Company’s implement warehouse was in ashes. Continuing the fire destroyed a harness shop, blacksmith shop, tannery, three residences and the only church In the town. A high wind was blowing at the time and it looked for a while as though the whole town was doomed. Everything was at the mercy of the flames, with no protection, excepting what could be afforded by hand pumps and water buckets. By hard work two ware­ houses containing 60,000 bushels of wheat were saved, though some 30,000 bushels near by were consumed. The value of the m ill plant is esti­ mated at *2,000, with *20,000 insur­ ance on wheat and ‘ m ill. Tffe valne of the Implements, machinery and warehouse is *31,0000; insurance, *14,000. There was no insurance on the residences, and only *1,000 on the church. The m ill w ill be rebuilt at once. Bolivian Dispute May be Settled.

I t is reported that a prompt settlement of the questions in dispute with Bolivia, is likely, and that it w ill result in stability to this part of the world. For International Conference. London, Sept. 26.— Steps are being taken on the initiative ol Germany with the view of holding in October an international conference of tlie powers on the subject of wirelem tele­ graphy. The purpose of the conference is to establish the great principle of an international agreement. Germany ad­ vances the view that as the practical working of wirelem telegraphy is now assured, the system should in public interests be subjected to rqles similar to thorn laid down in the international telegraph convention. Coal Miners Make an Offer. Pottsville, Pa., Sept. 25— A delega­ tion of mineworkeis called at the offices of the Philadelphia A Reading Coal and Iron company tonight and 'sub­ mitted a proposition to retorn to work if they could have assurances that President Baer w ill adjuat all loral- differencee at the collieries.

Washington, Sept. 23. — Secretary Moody has finally decided to augment the United States naval forces on the isthmus by the addition of 601) marines if Commander Mcl-sau’e advices indfo cate that them are needed. He has given orders to Commander Pillsbury, of the United States ship Prairie, now at Boaton, to proceed with his ship to Norfolk. A t that point 600 marines w ill be gathered ready to take ship when Secretary Moody’s advices indi­ cate the necessity for their presence en the isthmus. The Panther should arrive nt Colon within a day or two with 380 marines aboard, so that, with the Prairie’s men aud the marines on the Cincinnati, who are already ashcre at Colon, the United States w ill have what is regard­ ed as an ample force to carry out its treaty obligation of maintaining free traffic across the isthmus.. Orders have also been sent forward to the San Francisco, now at Norfolk, to coal and provision and proceed to San Juan, Porto Rico, there to await any emergency which may arise. There is only one U nite! States warship now in Veneauelan waters. The little gun­ boat Marietta and the Montgomery are due to arrive shortly at Cape Haytien. The object of the department in sending down the San Francisco, it is stated, is to have a vessel ready to meet a call for reinforcements, either in Venezuela, Hayti or the isthmus. The duty assigned to the San Francisco should not be confused with that given the gunboat Bancroit. That vessel probablv w ill not bo able to go into commission until October 1, and wrtll proceed to Ban Juan to-be station ship. It is expected that the San Francisco will get away in three or four days.
