ROOSEVELT'S CAMPAIGN
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HEAR THE
GALLANT ROUGH RIDER.
His Journey Eastward from Buffalo
Marked by Large Crowds at All
StatiOns-RepIy to Van Wyck.

SYRACUSE. n. Y, Oct 27.-The storm
had blown over and the weather was beau
tiful when Colonel Roosevelt and party left
Rochester this morning. The first stop of
the day was at Canandaigua, where about
800 persons had gathered. AS the train
pulled in the fire bells rang and the chill
dren were dismissed from the schools so
they could see the candidate. Cannon were
fired and brass band played while the
people cheered and the committee escorted
the candidate to the platform erected near
the track. 1t was gayly trimmed with flags
and palms. AT Shortsville and at Clifton
Springs there were large audiences. AT
Geneva there was an immense crowd
The reception at Auburn was equal to
those at Buffalo and at Rochester. Bust
ness was almost generally suspended and
the streets were thronged with people.
Special trains had come in from Ithaca,
Union Springs, Cayuga, Aurora and Mora
Via, and long before the train arrived the
three meeting places, Music Hall, the court
house and Burti's Opera House, were
damned to the doors and hundreds of peo-
pie who could not obtain admission crowded
the railroad station, where they gratitied
themselves by cheering for the candidates.
colonel Roosevelt and DR.. Depew spoke at
every meeting, Colonel Roosevelt's recep-
ton at all three meetings was most en-
thusiastic. The party stopped for two hours
in Auburn, all the time being occupied by
speechmakng. When the train left at least
900 people were at the station cheering

CLOCKS STOPPED BY A STORM
Pendulums Ceased to Swing i'm Chi
cagO SwayAng 'sSky Scrapers."

CHICAGO, Oct. H.-Chicago's lake front
is battered in spots from the Indiana state
line to Evanston and beyond as the result
of the storm which found a center here
ducing the last two days. While no lives
have been reported lost the severity of the
blow-forty-ei miles an hour at it's worst
was the greatest since the gale of 1894
when the shore was strewn with wrecks and
when many sailors persisted. The total
damage is estimated at SS1, 800. The objects
that suffered most are the lake shore prom
enades and walls. whose huge rocks and
flags were battered down and tossed about
like chips by the waves The Lincoln Park
Board has suffered most in this respect 1t
will require $4,000 to replace it's wrecked
ways An indication Of the fury of the
storm is shown by the fact that the Off
cial clock in the photographic office, in the
Masonic Temple, was stopped by the vi
bration of the big building The hands
pointed to 6:51 40 when the pendulum ceased
to swing. Lieutenant Wilson SAYS all clocks
in the upper floors of high office buildings
We're similarly affected.
All of the lake craft out in Tuesdays
storm have now been accounted for. The
schooner Jeanette was towed in here to-
night, the barge Biawbak has reached Che
boygan and the barge Delta is safe at Mil
waukee. All are considerably damaged and
the crews suffered great hardship, but there
was no loss of life.

PORTO RICO POSTOFFICES.
Eighty Established by the Commits
sion Sent Out from Washington.

NEW YORK Oct. 27.-The transport Man
itoba, which arrived last night from Ponce
Porto Rico. anchcring off quarantine came
up the bay to-day. Major Stewart, of the
Second Illinois, and the six members of the
postal commission sent by the Postoffice
Department to establish postal service
in Porto Rico and to secure necessary in
formation relative thereto were landed as
were also Maj L. Nj. Lancaster, of the
Fourth United States Artillery; Mai F. D.
Balm, surgeon OF the Second Ohio; Capt
Colby, surgeon of the Thirty-fifth Michi-
gan; L. T.. Solomon health commissioner
of Louisiana, and a number of discharged
and furloughed soldiers.
Major Stewart said that the postal COM
missioners succeeded admirably in their eff
forts. They esta bished eighty offices on
the coast and in the Interior the old Off
Gals in a majority of cases being chosen.
AS fast as the soldiers took a town the
postal commission would go there and es-
tablish postal facilities. Major Stewart also
said that everything was progressing
splendidly, the Porto Ricans taking to
American institutions very kindly and
adapting themselves to conditions in this
country readily. The only thing he had to
speak of untavorably was the climate. The
members of the postal commission left I'm
mediately for Washington. where they will
make their report to the Postoffice Depart
ment.

A RED CROSS INQUIRY.
Clara Barton Wants to Know Wheth-
er Her Work i'm Cuba IL Done.

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-The following let
ter has been sent by Miss Clara Barton, of
the Red Cross, to President Mckinley:
while we have received no official adj
vices, 1T appears, according to recent news
paper dispatches. that in addition to Ma
tanzas four other ports have been declared
open to the introduction free of duty of
supplies for the relief of the reconcentra-
dos and others in Cuba who are suffering
from lack of food and other necessaries or
life.
IF it is true that all customs restrictions
nave been removed and relief provisions
are now freely admitted, we presume the
American people expect that the work of
general relief will lie resumed. The Red
Cross, however, having originally entered
upon the field at the request of the govern
ment. desires to be guided i'm its action by
the wishes of the government and to re-
frain from taking any steps that will in
terfere with the policy the government may
have decided upon with respect to the con-
tinuance of relief in Cuba
III, with the cessation of hcstilites be-
tween the United States and Spain, ii is
row the intention of the government to
take charge of the distribution In Cuba and
complete the work of relief ii would per-
haps be best that the Red Cross retire from
the field, lest by remaining it might cause
some embarrassment. On the other hand.
If it is desired that the Red Cross con-
tinue 1t will. Of course. be necessary to
make adequate preparation. We would
therefore respectfully ask that we may be
Informed concerning the wishes of the gov
eminent in the matter.
The inquiry relative to the proposed pol
ley of the government with regard to the
administration of relief in Cuba is also
prompted by the doubt that has arisen in
connection with the disposition of the cargo
of the transport Comal 1t is understood
that the cargo of this vessel was i'm ac-
cordance with the expressed wish of the
government, to be distributed by the Red
Cross. while on the arrival of the ship at
Havana it transpired that the instructions
given to her commander did not contem-
plate such course.
1T is believed that there still exists much
suffering in Cuba in those districts where
but little, if anything. has been distributed
since the raising of the blockade and the
object of this letter is. as already indi-
Gated. to inquire whether by the plan
adopted the government now contemplates
making the distribution of supplies itself
or whether il is desired that the Red Cross
shall continue as the distributing agent of
relief in Cuba"

ELECTRICAL DANGERS.
Vast Amount of Damage Done by Va
grant Currents from Trolley Wires.

NEW YORK, Oct. GA. A. Knudsen
read paper before the last meeting of the
American Institute of Electric Engineers
OH vagrant electric currents and the vast
amount of damage that may be inflicted by
them OH all metallic structures in whole or
in part of a subterranean character. MIR.
hnudsen showed as the results of exhaus-
tive tests made by him that the escape of
the electrical current from the overhead
trolley exercised a damaging influence OH
the elevated structures and the system of
water pipes in the upper parts of the city.
He also showed that currents escaping
from trolley lines in Brooklyn found their
way into all the lower section of New York
affecting by electrolysis not only the pillars
OF the elevated roads. but possibly the very
anchorage of the bridge itself. He recon-
mended that legislative action be taken to
check the danger. declaring that unless
regulations were adopted the life of public
property would be greatly shortened
Dealing with the results OF electrolytic
action on the terminal rails of the trolley
system, 1t was found that a large amount
of metal had been removed by electrolysis,
the bottoms of the rails having been cut
OF the ends. It was also found that in many
instances the tie rods cross bars which
keep the rails In position had been eaten
In conclusion he said: 1T appears to be
the duty of engineers to exercise every pre-
caution against the effects of this invisible
element of destruction, which, if left to
itself will certainly shorten the life of
valuable city property. The damage al
ready done by electrOysis TO public works
in England has led to the establishment of
regulations to prevent such action in the
future, and similar legislation may be ex-
pected in this county if these conditions be
allowed to continue. Prevention is simply
a question of additional expense. The in
candescent light currents 1 do not consider
as particularly dangerous at the moment
on account of their light voltage, but it
having been established that. the fraction
electroytic action. it simply comes down
to question of time when these straying
incandescent currents Will have to be seri-
ously considered 1t is my opinion that or
binary caution would suggest that period
ical tests should be made in every city
where trolley road using a ground return
is in operation. In this way threatened
damage by electrolysis to water and other
pipes as we'll as to bridges might be ar
rested and finally controlled. =
