Although the eity is in her period of distress, the people of New Orleans today remem bered not alone the characteristic promptness of sending federal surgcans to take charge, of the fever 'struggle, I. nt his expressions of unfailing sym pathy. The densely crowded struts, the elaborate decorations, the wild ap plaiiMo that greeted him along the whole route of parade, the enthusiasm with which his address was received and the remarkable demonstration, in his hnor, at 'luncheon, the outward mani festations of the spirit in whieh the people welcomed Jiim. , Probably for the first time in his career the president was compelled to abandon a public ad ilreHs before he got well started in it. Likewise the contemplated review of the parade was abandoned because' the troops and police were unable to move the crowd at the city hall. When the president started to de liver his speech, probably 50,000 people surrounded him.Sund foreseeing the pos sibility of h catastrophe in the event of a panic, he shout; d to the throng to go home and be good citizens, he gave up the attempt to speak and then dis appeared into the mayor's parlors, well nigh exhausted. The demonstration at luncheon was scarcely less exuberant. When' the president entered the decor ated dining hall, banqueters rose as one man and gave way to frantic cheers. Kvery thought he uttered was the sig nal for an extraordinary exhibition of enthusiasm. An immense crowd packed the streets when ; the president reappeared after luncheon and on the trip to the river he was greeted with thunderous ap plause. The Magnolia left the landing amid the firing of 'the presidential sa lute and an indescribable din of whistles of factories and river craft, mingled with tlie lusty cheering of the throng collected at the wharf. BEFORE FIRST OF THE YEAR SALEM WILL CONNECT BY BAIL . ROAD WITH CHEMAWA. WORK BEGINS WITHIN TEN DAYS Upon Proposed Portland-Salem Elec tric Line By Local Com pany. - . ' Will e Continued to Portland Before Spring Beginning of Great Railroad Building Boom, for the Willamette Valley Liberty to Hare Line. Manager Welch, of the Citirens Light & Traction Company, is authority for the statement Wednesday that with in ten days, -or as soon as the local work is completed, the work of grad ing and construction upon the proposed electric line between this city and Portland will be begun at the Fair Grounds and the lines is expected to be completed f or operation, as far a Chemawa before the rst of the year. It is practically certain the terminal grounds and right of way through the town of Woodburn wl.lt be granted the company today and the line will be completed .-to , Portland, .commencing early in the spring. ; -....''..-., Thi news, coming from the reliable source it does, will doubtless be re ceived with satisfaction by the people of , Salem who have looked , long and longingly for the realization ; of this oft-predicted project; and especially to the ofllcjals, employes and students of the Chemawa Indian school, and the nral residents in . close proximity, to the institution, who. have long wished for quick and hourly - connection with ibis city. - Mayor -Waters, who is actinar as ricrht of way agent for the interests" back of tne enterprise, . went to Wpodburn iuesday where, in the evening, he ad dressed a mass meeting of the citizens of the city in the; interest of securing a. right of way through and terminal grounds ; in - the . city, and he reports most, satisfactory results.. He say there wag large attendance upon the meet ing and the enthusiasm displayed isr the project ; lends great encouragement for its success. A committee of represen tative citizens was appointed to inves tigate and eonsider-the proposition and Mayor Waters will go down this morn ing to receive i its - report, which, he thinks, . beyond doubf, .will be favor able. This obtained, the survey, of the route being eompletedTip to that point be wnl turn bis attention to procuring the right of way and sueh .other, eon eessio'ns as are necessary on into Port land. ' '-- lie reports that he has yet to find the farmer along the proposed-route who is not enthusiastie and heartily in favor of the construction of the road, and, so far, he says he has had easy sailing in securing the right or way. Although he would not bo state. outright, Manager Vveleb virtually con firmed the belief that the road would extend south, at least so far as Eugene hut pronounced the rumor to the effect that it was the company's intention to go an far south as Eoseburg, with' out foundation. Furtner than this he would not discuss the plans of the com pany in railroad building of the future but conveyed the impression that this was not the end and tnat western Ore gon would see a considerable amount of railroad construction before long. The company has closed, practically, tho deals for the taking over of the Kugene-Hpringfield, Albany' and other electric lght and power plants and ne gotiations are pending fof several oth ers. Everything points to the early consolidation of a. of the electric plant and powers in the Willamette valley but it is too early to make a definite announcement as to the extent of the scheme. The work upon the extension of the car line to the rock pit south of the city, in connection with the prospect ive improvement of Houth Commercial street, is expected will be finished witn in ten days, as the grading is almost completed and the work of laying the track beyond the cemetery has pro ceeded for some distance. fThe next move will be to extend this line to Lilerty, distant only one mile beyond the rock pit, and to promote this- ex tension the residents of the Liberty district will hold a mass meeting to night to receive a proposition from a representative of the company. It is known that the company Is" pre pared to renew its proposition of a year ago, whereby itiagreeu to bui.d the line to Liberty, and even to Rose dale, if tne residents) would furnish the ties and materials f or . poles and bridges, etc., and ther is every reason to' believe -that the" people of Liberty are now prepared to Accept the propo sition outright, which! will assure this extension, it will then devolve upon the -people 'of the KosCdale district, al though there is yet plenty of time for such a move, to entertain a proposi tion of the same kind to secure the building of the electric line on to their neighborhood. j Taken all in all it is certain that the Willamette valley is now entering an era of electric railroad building which bids fairiot to halt until every little village and hamlet within a radius of twenty-five or thirty mites of this city will be brought into direct connection with .-e commerce of the world by ra pid transit. BIG GUN SHOOT. KL PASO, Texas, Oct. 26. Scatter gun artists from the southwest will gather in El Paso during the American mining congress sessions to contest for cash prizes which will be offered, as well as for a silver trophy.

Refusing to promise tp stand for President Roose velt 'a policy of 'the regulation of the railroad rato, a large number of dele gn tes 'W tho, interstate rojiiuieret law convention were today barred from the convention, although properly accredit ed, and thereupon held a separate meet ing to give expression to their views. . Aware or a plan to thwart the pur pose of the convention the "original" delegates refused to admit the dele gates who refused to support the presi dent's rate plan, 'alleging the latter were sent by the railroads and other unfair interests to pack the convention. A number of exeiting scenes followed before the meeting was called to order. The number of delegates 'in each con vention ranged bet wen four and five hundred. Attendance la Large. Chicago, lib, Oct. ,26. This morn ing at 10 o'clock the conference called by the interstate commerce law con vention to discuss the subjeet of rail road rate legislation in all its variotm phases was called to order . in the Audi torium by E. P. Bacon of Milwaukee. He is the chairman of the convention. Despite the fear expressed in some quarters that the influence of the rail roads might prevent a large attendance, the great hall was crowded with repre sentative business men and public men from all parts of the country. The fol lowing states, among others, had dele gates present: Wisconsin, Iowa, Kan sas, Missouri, Kentucky, Michigan Mis sissippi, Maryland, Indiana, Montana, Colorado, Houth Carolina, Alabama, South Dakota, Wyoming, Oregon, West Virginia, Arizona, Ohio, Ntw Mexico, Nebraska, Maine, Illinois, North Da kota and California. The number of trade and industrial Organizations which have delegates at the conference is large. The boards of trade and chambers of commerce of scores of'cities are represented. In ad dition there are many delegates on hand from such organizations as Jhe Travel ers' Protective Association, wholesale Iruggists, mulers, wholesale grocers, manufacturers, stock raisers and others. Among those seated on the platform were a number of men of national prom inence who . have been conspicuous in the movement to secure railroad rate legislation. Governor La Follette of Wisconsin as among the early arrivals, snd his appearance was greeted with cheers. Governor Cummins of Iowa was on hand, and also former Governor Larrabee of the same state. Former Governor Van Sant of Minntsota was another prominent figure. - rieyond the formalities attendant on the opening of the conference, no at tempt at a program was made and none will be attempted, the work in that respect .being left to the conference it self. In calling the gathering to order .Chairman Bacon quoted from the offi cial call, as follows: "Our object is to impress upon con gress the extent and persistence of the demand , of the people of all parts of the country for legislation outlined in the president's last message to congress. The result of the effort to secure legis lation of this- character, continued dur ing the past five years, seems likely to reach a determination at the eoming sesssion. The importance of such a demonstration of the public interest in the legislation at this time as will be effective in its influence upon congress Cannot be overestimated. "The railway interest is uritedly op posed to any legislation restricting its absolute control of railway rates, and the representatives !: of that interest throughout the country are not only exerting their utmost influence with congress to prevent-legislation in this direction, but are making strenuous ef forts to suppress expression of public, sentiment in its favor, and also, by perverting the intent and purpose of the legislation, to ineite opposition thereto. Hence, it is necessary for the friends of the legislation to avail thenv selves of every means of making 'their influence felt where it will-have effect In brinzine about. its enactment." Following the opening address of Chairman . Bacon the delegates were welcomed to the tate by Governor Deneen .and to the city by Alayor Dunne. The selection jot the necessary committees followed, and this complet ed .the work of the initial -session. It appears likely that . the, work of the conference will extend over the day to morrow 'and possibly into Saturday. - MaT SURPASS THE MAMMOTH rTiirAfinJ Oet. 26.

A DEMONSTRATION ANTICIPATED But Did not Materialize , and the Day Passes off Without Any ' Disorder. Stuaents and Strikers at Sharon Erect Barricades and - Elect Provisional Government Police of Pabiance De sert the Service. KT. PETERSBURG, Oct. 26. St. Pe tersburg was in a pan ie . today bnt to a large extent without reason. The most sensational rumors were in cir culation and the shop keepers on all except, a few of the principal streets closed their stores and boarded up" the doors and windows while the peaceful inhabitants kept within doors. Anxiety was evidenced in the whole atmosphere of the city, but, so far nothing has in curred to justify the fears. There were no disorders. General Trepoff, who has been placed n command of the St. Petersburg gar rison and given an additional division of reinforcements, declares he Is amply able to maintain order and the police are allowing the strikers to vent their enthusiasm so as to avoid a demonstra tion. Trepoff instructed the police not to interfere with the parades so long as orderly but gave notice tonight he was prepared to cope with any disor der and the troops will be ordered to morrow to use ball cartridges in ease of an outbreak. - By the . greatest exertions the gov ernment today succeeded in moving trains on a few railroads. Traffic has resumed irregularly between St. Peters ourg and Moscow and from Moscow to Brest and Kazan. The first work wns to move a trainload of cattle into Moscow and St. Petersburg to, meet the pinch of the approaching famine. A scanty supply of provisions is arriv ing over the Finland road on which the employes refuse to strike. The sit uation, however, is not regarded as much improved. The strikers at the meetings today are as firm as ever to continue the strike and a full force of the government railroad battalions is almost helpless in the face of a general strike of the railroads. Picturesque details have been re ceived of an uprising at Kharkoff where the students and strikers took possession of a locality In the center of tne eity, threw upf barricades, con structed a regular fortress aad elected a provisional government. This university garrison, which num bered 3000, is well supplied with arms. Dragoons arrived on the scene and fired fusillades into the crowds, killing ten wounding many. Matters have reached such a state that a siege has been pro claimed in the university district. Cool heads on either side affected an ar rangement which made it unnecessary to storm the revolutionary citadel, the defenders of . which marched out with the full honors of war. Witte Pleads for New System. St. Petersburg, Oct. 26. Minor tu mults are reported in other cities,, but in general the strikers are adhering to the determination to demonstrate by orderly conduct their fitness for self government. The strike has prov ed effective in forcing the government to speedy action on the measures slum bering in the commision, and both will draft a law creating a responsible min istry and a statute granting the free dom of assembly to be taken to the emperor tomorrow ror his signature. It is reported Witte on the promul gation of the cabinet statute will is sue a proclamation asking the nation to give the new governmental system a fair chance. The source of funds apparently at the command of the revolutionists is a mystery. In Moscow the revolutionary committee is allowing the strikers 10 cents daily, and has invested large snms fn arms and ammunition. It.is conjectured they are receiving aid from abroad, perhaps some from America. The, tactics of the revolutionists at St. Petersburg . apparently create a reign of terror. Warnings have been sent to merchants! on prominent streets to close in order to avoid pillage and the torch. Doctors have been notified to -discontinue their visits to the sick on pain of death. . Apprehension ap parently exists in imperial circles, and it is reported the imperial yacht is constantly ' under steam for emergency use. The Socialist leaders are organizing a movement for the sale of arms to the strikers. ' .Looks Bad at Warsaw. Wsrsaw, Oct. 26. At 'Pabiasce; ia the government of Plotrakofa the dra goons fired .

Some time between 3 and 4 o'clock this morning two saloons and one confectionery store ot this city were forcibly entered by some un known persons and money and property stolen aggregating a value of about i250, while the damage to property, In cident to the burglaries, will add an other 50 to the loss. Although the police have some suspicions as to the identity of the guilty parties, there is no absolute clue to work upon and they are still at large, but an effort is being made to apprehend them. The saloons entered, by means of the back doors, were that of Matthews & Mattison and the 'lub, " and the con fectionery store was that of W. R. Ellis, all ia the main part of the city. The work was accomplished without at tracting the slightest attention, not even on the part of the night police force, and 4he robbery was not discov ered until daylight this morning. Of the saloons that of Matthews k Matti son was the heaviest loser, as about $150 in cash was secured from the cash register and tills, while in the "Club ' saloon the, balance of the bulk of cash was stolen, and four revolvers were se cured from both. Five or six dollars in .change was taken from the confec tionery store, but the front, door, by which entrance was gained, wss liter ally ruined, it having been battered in and shattered, inflicting damage to tie extent of about !.. All of the officers in the cities, coun ties and towns of the valley have been notified of the robbery and there is some hope entertained of the early ap prehension of the culprits.
