FOUNDATIONS WASHED OUT
Houses in Reading, Pa.. Wrenk~d by
 Leaky Water Main.

Reading, Pa, Oct. 9.-Water from a leaking main yesterday weakened the foundations of many houses on SchuylkiH avenue in this city, causing thirty of them to settle, cracking the walls, 'bulging out the gables and otherwise rendering them unsafe for occupancy. The handsome residences of William Keppleman and James T Christ were damaged to such an ex- tent that they will have to be rebuilt completely, while score of others are in danger of falling.
 A section of the street fell in and almost simultaneously a stream Of water thirty feet high shot out. Sev- eral women had just passed the DOT tion of the street that caved in and had narrow escape.
 Many families have vacated their homes, and the greatest consternation prevails in the neighborhood The leak continues and late this after noon City Engineer Hoff had not de- cided in what manner the cave-in could be repaired and further damage averted. It is said that the bill of damages the city will have to settle with the property owners will reach many thousands of dollars.

OHIO SAFELY REPUBLICAN.
Senator Hanna Says He Only Fears
 Overconfidence.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 9.-Senator Han na began his third week of campaign ing in Ohio by long conference with Charles F. Dick, secretary of the na- tional committee, here this morning. This afternoon, accompanied by Sen ator Thurston, he will start for Co., lumbus, where he speaks tonight, and then invade southern Ohio for a week. The senator will go to Portsmouth, lHillsIboro, Dayton and probably to other points in the southern part of the state.
 Senator Hanna said this morning that the outlook in Ohio, after two weeks of campaigning, was most en- couraging. He sees no reason why Ohio shouldn't go republican, and confidently expects the party to win. MT. Hanna fears that the overconfi- dence may cause them to stay at home and this, he says, is the only fear the leaders have.
 Senator Thurston says he has made political speeches in Ohio before, but that he has never seen such crowds, such attention and such enthusiasm.

no further bimetallic agitation, for, though we believe the soundest and wisest course would be for Great Brit ain to cooperate with other nations and open her hints to both metals, we should be glad to see the compro- mise effected. It would have the inn portant and desirable results of re- storing par exchange between the gold using and silver using countries"
 The letter predicts that unless this compromise is carried out agitation will be continued on the basis of re- opening the mints to the free coin age of both metals; but it expresses the belief that the great commercial nations are so alive to the dangers that would follow the failure of the negotiations that the compromise will be accepted

TO SUCCEED MARSHAL FREY.
Police Commissioners of BaltimcT
 Appoint Capt. s. M. Hamilton.

Baltimore, Md, Oct 9.-The dead lock in the board of police commis- sioners over the marshalship to sue ceed Marshal Frey, removed several months ago, was ended today by the election of Capt. s. M. Mamiltcn, a re- tired United States army officer.
 Capt. Hamilton was elected by the votes of Commissioners Johnson, re publican, and Schriver, democrat. The. new marshal is republican, and was placed on the retired list about six years ago. Since his retirement he has recovered health, and, it is be-. lieved, is fully competent for the du-. ties of his new position. Before he retired from the army he was an ap- plicant for the position of adjutant general, for which place he was back ed by Senator Quay of Pennsylvania

ITS THE DEVILS INVENTION
Birmingham Bullet Known as
 the Internal
England Considering It's Adoption and Wondering Whether 1t Would Not Be a Violation of the Rules of Civilized Warfare.

London, Oct. 9.-The British gov ernment is considering the adoption of an internal bullet invented in Bir- mingham The bullet is made of lead and instead of being conical on top, is level and has cup-like entrance On entering the flesh the bullet acts like a punch, cutting a clean, round hole which does not close.
 The bullet begins to expand im- mediately after entering and after it has travelled six inches it produces a jagged hole three or four inches in diameter.
 It is said to be the most terrible missile known and it is question whether it's use will not be breach of the international convention.

ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
First Minister of Finance Under Dole
 Takes Poison and Cuts His Wrist.

san' Francisco, Oct. S.-Theodore c. Porter, first minister of finance of the Hawaiian government under President Dole, attempted to commit suicide yesterday in Golden Gate park in this city, by swallowing a dose of chloral and cutting veins in both wrists. His life was saved after great exertion. He now lies in a pre- carious condition in the home of a friend
 MT. Porter came here with his wife from Honolulu about the middle of last June, seeking to regain his health, which had been badly shattered by hard work His relatives here state that his attempt to commit suicide was brought about by his nervous condition.
 MT. Porter was minister of finance under President Dole for little more than a year. He had been for sixteen years assistant cashier of the Spreck- els bank in Honolulu.
