quarter after 12 o'clock thl. afternoon.
ne fire company hti'l Just arrived when
a terrific explosion occurred and threw
the engine crew down the .talrway.
The firemen, realizing the danger of
their txolllon. rushed out of the build

an explosion more terrific than the first
and the whole crew wan hurled across
the .tree). Devanney waa ao badly In

In the meantime other engine that

CHLORAL KILLED HER.
Folice Have Not Identified the Poisoner
of the Paterson Mill Hand.
NEW YORK. Oct. :!.-The only link
that seems to be lacking against the
alleged murder rs of Jennlo TtosschU'ter,
the Paterson mill hand. Is the identifi
cation of the purchaser of the drug.
There is no ipiestlon thnt she died from
the effects of rhlornl poisoning, but It
Is not known where the drug was
bought or by whom it waa obtained.
The police say thnt they know Me-
Allster tried to get a bottle refilled at
Kent's drug store on the evening of the
tragedy and they say that they have
the affidavit of one of the dorks there
that he refused to sell chloral to Me
Allster on that night.
The rollce have been canvassing the
list of McAllster'B friends In drug
stores. There Is no law In New Jersey
against the salo of chloral.

f.vllng tolerably well. I thank you."
Thl waa Mr. Jlryan's response when
told tonight that )) had made thirty
upcech" (I'll ring the day and thus broke
his ow n record for pe-ch making.
As a rule the speeches were not so
long aa on most oo-aslon., but tla-y
exceeded In number by nine or ten those
of any previous day during the pres
ent campaign agd by three the highest
number m&do In the campaign In any
one day of 11MI.
Ilcglnnuig at Ilalnbrldge In the In
terior of th ittat at t o'clock In the
morning, he spoke twenty-one time.
In New York City he made one speech
and In Hrooklyn during the night he
made eight speechca, making thirty in
all for day and nltfht.
Mrs. Hryan accompanied her husband
during the day and ahe received almost
as much applauoe aa he did when she
appeared before the croiwd. assembled
to hrr him. The crowds were gen
erally large In proportion to the popu
lation. The last speech made by William J.
Ilryan on Manhattan island during the
present campaign was nmde tonight to
the Hebrews'of the east side. In many
respecti this .waa one of the most re
markable scenes of the campaign.
Without fireworks, which attracted
crowds to Madison Square gatherings.
with the 'knowledge that the presiden
tial candidate would not speak more
than ten to flftee-n minutes, crowds be
gan to gather on the east side at Hamil
ton Fish tork at 4 o'clock.
The most conservative estimates of
the crowd fix the number at at least
50,000. According, to people who have
lived all their Uvea on the east side,
no previous event ha. ever caused such
a demonstration in that section of the
city.

great Industrlea of the people have pros
pered beyond all precedent. Our com
merce ha. spread over th world. Our
power and Influence In the cause of
freedom and enlightenment have fx
tended over distant sea and lands. The
lives of our oirtclal representatives and
many of our people In China have been
mnrvilously preserved. We have been
generally exempt from pestilence and
other great calamities, and even the
tragic visitation which overwhelmed
the city of Galveston mode evident the
sentiments of sympathy and Christian

united ppople.
"Now, therefore. I. William McKlnley,

devotion and humanity of our armies
and navies, and for all His benefits to
us as individuals and as a nation; and
that they humbly pray for the continu
ance of His divine favor, for concord
and amity with other nations, and fur
righteousness and peac In all our
ways.
"In witness whereof I hav? hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of

LONDON. Oct. 2S.-The city Imperial
volunteers, who arrived at Southamp
ton from South Africa Saturday, reach
ed here by train, this morning and
marched through London, along streets
pocked by thousands. Such a demon
stration was probably never before
evoked for such a .mall body of volun
teers. In addition to the city Imper
lal volunteers themselves, there were
In the procession bands of twelve vol
unteer regiments, and 24.000 regulars
and volunteer? lined the route.
The crush of the populace became to
terrible that people broke through the
cordon and when the field was again
cleared forty persons requiring the aid
of ambulance surgeons were left lying
on the ground, several suffering serious
injuries.
Shrieks and groans filled the air; peo
ple were hurled to the ground and
trampled upon. Life guards on horse
back were swept off and lost In the
struggling mass of humanity after Im
potent struggles to stem the pressure
of the seml-panlc stricken mob.
The list of casualties among the wel
coming multitude was longer than that
of the whole corps In Its twenty-six en
gagements In South Africa.
Partial returns from hospitals and po
lice station Indicate that more than
200 persons were badly hurt, eight and
possibly ten being killed. There were
4000 police and 22,000 troops on duty
along the line of march, but they were
unable to manage the crowds.
It was a scene of unchecked saturn
alia that met the eye. Fighting and
swearing throngs fought vainly among
themselves for right of way. London
was turned over to the worst elements
of its population. Women were Insult
ed, kissed or thrown down with Impu
nity In the streets fights.
DE WET DEFEATED.
Boers Lost Heavily and Abandoned
Guns and Wagons.
LONDON, Oct. 29. The war office has
the following from Roberts, dated Pre
toria. October 2S:
"Knox successfully engaged De Wet
October 27. During the Boer retreat
Knox caught De Wet In the Rensburg
drift. The Boers lost considerably and
left two guns and three wagons in
Knox's hands. ATnother ammunition
wagon was blown up by a shell. The
British casualties were nil."
Referring to the Jacobsdal affair.
Lord Roberts says it was due to the
treachery of the Inhabitants, who ad
mitted the Boers to their houses at
night. Fourteen men were killed and
thirteen wounded, mostly Cape High
landers. Troop dispatched from the
Modder river drove oft the Boers. The
houses of the treacherous Inhabitants
were destroyed. Commandant Bosnian
was killed.
Lord Roberts calls attention to the
"increasing Inclination of the better
class of Boers to co-operate with the
British to secure peace," since they
find that guerilla warfare Is "visited
with heavy punishment."
CABLE TO TATOOSH ISLAND.
Will Probably Be Built and a Chip
Reporting Station Established.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 29. -Secretary
Wilson probably will ask congress for
authority to build a cable from the
mainland to Tatoosh island, at the en
trance to Puget sound. Wash., and
then establish a permanent weather bu
reau and ship-reporting station there.
Since the discontinuance of the sta
tion at that point the San Francisco
chamber of commerce and other Pacific
coast organizations have petitioned for
Its re-establishment and the enlarge
ment of protection of shipping, especial
ly of vessels In distress. The weather
Inspector has reported favorably on the
project and the bureau has recom
mended It.
CHINESE FAVOR ARBITRATION.
Chinese Minister to the Russian Court
Discusses the Situation.
NEW YORK. Oct. 29 His Excellency
Yang Yu. Chinese minister to the court
of St. Petersburg, while at Yalta, near
where the czar Is staying, was ques
tioned by a Horald correspondent re
garding the Chinese problem.
His excellency was three and one-half
years minister to the United States. He
was also Chinese .delegate to the peace
conference at The Hague. He was
allied how China would accept the Idea
of arbitration in this present trouble,
to which he replied":
"My own Idea Is that arbitration In
this matter would be the ideal solution,
for my fear at present Is that unless
something Is done negotiations will drag
on for a long time.
"Th Idea of arbitration 1. exceedingly
popular with u. in China. I fear our
people would object to a court of arbi
tration the member of which com
prised only Europeans. They feel that
European, are prejudiced against them.
They would Imagine that they were not
going to be treated fairly. We should
have tn persuade our people that It was
all right.
"It is to the Interest of the United
States to bring about a normal situa
tion In China with the utmost rapidity.
America has a large trade with us and
that trade I. being very seriously dam
aged by the condition of things which
r.iay last a long time."
His excellency certainly thought Rus
sia would support the Idea as the czar'.
Ideal was arbitration as shown- by his
calling together of the peace confer
ence. Then he oald:
"England would join because she also
is suffering severely In the matter of
trade, which Is becoming worse each
day."
WORK RESUMED.
All the Large Collieries Started Up
Yesterday.
PHILADELPHIA. Oct 29.-Today
witnessed an almost general resump
tion of work in the anthracite region
where for six weeks the mine workers
have been on a strike for an advance
In wafes, reduction In the price of

All of the men have lived many years
In Montana and have been prominent
In mining circles.
NO GAMBLERS WANTED.
New York Banks Are Becoming More
Particular About the Habits of
Their Employes.
NEW YORK. Oct. 29. Since the an
nouncement of the embezzlement of
Note Teller Atvord. of the Flrat Nation
al bank, there have been many stories
of new and rigid espionage by banking
houses over their clerks.
One of these stories concerns the Ger
man Savings bank. It was reported
last night that five of the clerks of
that Institution have been discharged
because detectives discovered that they
were associates of gamblers. Three of
them are said to have had an interest
in a bookmaklng firm that does busi
ness at the race tracks.
The story recites that detecti.vs were
placed on the trail of all of the clerks
in the bank and that the five In qujs
tlon were the" only ones about whom
anything suspicious could be learned.
It was not sa!d that the clerks had stol
en anything nor that they contemplat
ed any wrong-doing, but the informa
tion is to the effect that the officers of
the bank deemed It best to get rid of
tjem.

ELM IRA, N. T.. Oct. 23. -Governor
Roosevelt finished the first day of bis
second week's campaign In this state
by an Invasion of the home of the
Democratic candidate for governor.
John M. Stanchfleld.
At Ithaca, the governor's reception
was of the most friendly nature and he
paid a compliment to one of the col
lege men. the son of Richard Croker,
by refusing to do as he has generally
done at other stops, make a personal
attack on the Tammany leader. His
welcome In Elmlra was a great politi
cal demonstration.
For the first time In New York state
and In the home of the Democratic can
didate for governor, Theodore Roose
velt was assaulted In the streets of
Elmlra tonight on bis way to places
of meeting.
He was In a carriage with former
Senator Fasset and at several points
along the route was pelted with eggs
and vegetables and greeted with the
vilest epithets. He sat in dignified si
lence while the police looked on quies
cently. During his campaign In the morning
be was also assaulted personally and
a bitter fight ensued. In the place of
meeting the governor had no Interrup
tion. After It was over he said:
"It was nasty conduct; the conduct
of hoodlums."
CARLIST UPRISING.
Attempt Made to Seize the Municipal
Treasury of Badalona.
MADRID, Oct. 29. A conflict between
twenty-four armed Carlists and a de
tachment of gendarmes occurred yester
day near Badalona. The chief of the
Carlists was killed and another man
was wounded. Three Remington rifles
were captured. The band retreated In
the direction of Moncada, pursued by
cavalry and Infantry. The Carllst
General Solivar has been arrested at
Barcelona, and a number of tjther ar
rests have been made In connection,
with the Bandalona uprising.
It appears the Badalona band of Car
lists, who wore red caps, demanded the
gendarmes of Badalona to surrender,
but the latter attacked and dispersed
them. The aim cf the Carlists was to
seize the municipal treasury, as on the
body of the chief was found a receipt
thus worded:
"Received from the mayor of Bada
lona, pesetas, which will be sur
rendered w hen his majesty, Don Carlos,
occupies the throne of his ancestors."
