tween the BaImoraI and GIenricht.
San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 27.-The British
ship Balmoral reached port Tuesday night
from Swansea.
The Balmoral had hardly dropped anchor
when there came the hail. "Is Mrs Davis

Capt. Campbell a letter addressed to Mrs.
Davis, wife of Capt. Davis. master of the
vessel the Balmoral had been in collision
with.

that his wife is not on this ship, and he
will know she has found a grave in the

August 90 off Cape Horn.
The Glenricht struck the Balmoral on
the starboard bow just forward of her COL
lision bulkhead. crushing In nine plates
and tearing apart several deck beams and
stringers and stringer plates.
In the confusion and excitement of the
collision, four sailors of the Glenricht
scrambled aboard the Balmoral and one
of the crew of the Balmoral was seen
going aboard the Glenricht. The vessels
drifted apart and were soon lost to each
other.
The Glenricht put into Rio JaneIro for
repairs few weeks later and Capt. Da-
Wis reported the disaster. In his report
he said he believed his wife has scram-
bled on board the Balmoral, believing the

breaches Retwccn Candidates on the
Republican Ticket.

Rochester, n. Y, Oct. 27-An open
break has developed between Roosevelt
and Woodruff during the last few days.
The Brooklyn candidate Joined the Roose-
Welt party at Buffalo Tuesday with
typewriter speech which he declared was
the best he had ever attempted in the
way of oratory and argument. The COM
mittee on speeches travelling with the
Rough Rider looked the thing over and
were appalled,. The speech defended the
canal matteri
"Well, it expresses my sentiments,"
said Woodruff. He was labored with
strenuously, but refused to change the
speech, SO he was not allowed to talk In
Buffalo.
He left the meeting at the Music Hall
long before ii was over, and before Col
Roosevelt had arrived. He appeared to be
deeply grieved.
He did not come to Rochester with Mr.
Roosevelt's party today, but journeyed on
another train, and it was arranged with
the local committee that he should make
a speech at Fitzhush Hail.
Accordingly, he came into Fitzhugh
Hall last evening, accompanied by
Charles ]. Brown. chairman of the local
committee; George w. Aldridge and
Frank p. Crouch. Judge Warner intro

plain defense of the canals He was sure.

He was hooted at and howled down by
the Republican audience. There were
jeers and sneers and ribaid remarks.

Woodruff was TO have spoken balf an
hour. He had not spoken twenty min
utes before he was shut off by the tu-
mutt

howled Woodruff. angrily, handing his
speech down to the reporters. Then he
retired.
Chauncey Depew got up and quieted
the crowd for a time, but the uproar
soon broke out again. There was ano,h-
er call for the police. over In the skat-
ing rink Col. Roosevelt heard about it
just as he had began his speech He was
furious. He realized that all efforts of
the committee to curb Woodruff had
been in vain. His running mate had ap-
parently countenanced the Republican
canal robbery. The colonel cut his spes ch
short and hastened to Fitzhugh Hall.
Woodruff had retired. and. OF course,
Mr.. Roosevelt's first effort was 70 square
