SPEEDWAY THROWN IN PANIC
MAD RUNAWAY-POLICE
STOP THE HORSE.

There was a runaway the Speedway yes
terday afternoon, and it caused great excite
ment, and came close enough TO disastrous
termination. George Kotch and his wife, of
No. 455 First-ave.. took newly purchased and
mettlesome animal up yesterday to try him out.
The horse worked beautifully, and Mrs Kotch
expressed a wish to drive him alone. Mr.. Kotch
thought it quite safe, and got out at One-hun-
dred- seventy -frst-st., saying his wife
should take turn down to observation-disclosures
ffty-ffth-st. and back. and he would wait for
her
The intelligent animal knew the change in
stantIy. He began to make trouble at once, and
at One-hundred- and sixty -ninth-st took the bit
and boIted Mrs. Kotch screamed for help. but
hung to the reins pluckily. Her efforts were
no more effective than if the reins were fast
ened to the shafts Down the drive the animal
ran at a mad gallop. The pneumatic and feath-
erweght runabout bobbed at times two feet
into the air, and as it leaped from side TO side
Mrs Kotch was in imminent peril OF having
her brains dashed out the stone walk against
which the runaway ran dangerously close at
times.
Mounted Policemen Golden and Fitzgerald
were at ne-hundred-and-seven -second-st.
when the horse began to run. They put their
spurs into their mounts and dashed in pursuit
The resounding hoofbeats of the polcemen's
horses reached the ears Of the runaway and
only made him run the faster. Down the Speed
way strung out and many speeding
rious kinds Of horses Many Of them, hearing
the turmoil in their rear. took it for a signal
to cut up some capers on their own account and
a number Of times tangle OF half dozen rigs
and occupants was averted by the smallest mar
gin.
Golden and Fitzgerald got abreast Of Kotch's
horse at hundred -and-siXtyf f1fth-st.. and IL
took them from that 10 Observation-Disclosures
tieth-st TO stop the horse. Repeatedly they
slackened him down. and often he would
make another dash.
The mounted policemen gave superb exhi-
bition of riding and daring. Time after time
they took chances that would have meant the
unhorsing of less skilled riders. When they finally
stopped the runaway and led him back up the
Speedway il through a cheering ana en-
thusiastic line of horsemen and spectators VINO
had witnessed their work
Mr.. KOtch met them about half way down,
having run at all his speed in pursuit he was
fearful that his wife would be pitched out Mrs.
Kotch was brave until IL was all over and then
she collapsed She quickly revived, and, having
had unite enough excitement for one afternoon
suggested a drive home forthwith Nelther

HER TURRETS UNINJURED.
RECOILS OF KENTUCKYS BIG GUNS
TOO WEAK-DIFFICULTY EASILY
REMEDIFD

Captain Frank Wildes, captain of the Brooklyn
Navy Yard. said yesterday that the battleship
Kentucky would probably not return to the yard
as 1t was thought the alterations in the gear
Of her big guns could be made off Tompkns-
Vile It was explained that the difficulty lay
In the fact that the recoils for the big turret
guns were too weak to throw the guns back
into proper position after discharge. When
the guns OF the Kentucky were first tested it
was discovered that the recoils were too strong
Weaker recoils were substituted while the bat
tleship was at the yard recently. They could
not be tested until the ship was far enough out
at sea to make it safe to fire heavy charges
When Captain Colby NJ. Chester was outside of
Sandy Hook on Saturday he fired all the guns
IN each turret. Then it was found that the re-
coils did not properly perform their functions.
1t is said to be a simple thing to remedy the
difficulty. The turrets themselves work per-
fectly, it is understood
Captain Chester, of the Kentucky. which re-
turned to Tompkinsville on Saturday evening
after starting on her voyage to China said yes
terday afternoon:
The. report that the Kentucky returned to Tomp-
kinsytle on account of an accident to her turrets
have taken place any ship carrying 13-inch guns
the oregon, for instance. AS to what did occur
can give you no information If you want to find
out you must do so from washington where I
have sent. my report. But one thing I can assure
you, that we did not return on account OF any
accident to the Kentucky's superimposed turrets:
they We're not responsible for affected by our
return. The accident that did occur was Of no i'm
portance, and If we had been starting short
voyage 1t would not have detained us; but as the
voyage about to take is to be long and
severe one thought it better to have everything
shipshape before putting to sea. hope that re-
pairs be made by own men, and I expect
to be off again in two or three days.
According to custom. the guns of battleship
are tested when she starts a long voyage
as as she gets in the off1ng. Any defects
found by such test are usually remedied before
the ship puts to sea. Men seen working
on the forward guns of the Kentucky yester-
day.

FILIPTNOS AND FRIARS.
JUDGE TAFT CONTINUES THE INvEsTIGA-
TION AT MANILA

TION AT MANILA.
Manila, Oct 21-The Philippine Commission
has passed a bill appropriating $475,OOO in gold
for the payment of expenses incurred for the
benefit of the insular government during Oc-
tober The bill goes carefully into details re-
gardng the items of expenditure throughout
the archipelago.
Judge Taft president of the Commission has
been engaged for some time in taking mass
of Filipino testimony concerning the conduct
and policy of the friars this being contfnua-
tion Of the investigation which began with the
deposItions of bishops and members of monastic
orders. The statements OF the Filipinos go to
show that the friars under the Spanish regime
greatly abused their limtless political and re-
ligious powers over the community, and that
this abuse of authority often led to immortality.
All the testimony offered by the Fipinos shows
that they do not desire the return of the friars
to the parishes.
Archbishop Chapelle has gone to the more
peaceful province of Northern Luzon, accom-
panied by three Dominican friars. 1t is
serted and generally believed that he intends to
reesta blish these friars in certain parishes. and
the trip is exciting the natives in Manila. who
call upon their countrymen to prevent the
establishment of any friar the ground that
It would fix a dangerous precedent for the
future
Senior Buencamino has received what purports
to be a letter from Aguinaldo ordering the for
mer leaders Of the revolution who are in Ma
Mia to desst from the formation Of political
parties and to cease all their attempts at pacif-
cation. The letter mysteriously hints that plans
are maturing among the armed rebels in the
field, and describes these best for the coun-
try Senor Buencamno declares that the let
ter is genuine.
The military situation was comparatively
quiet last week. The Commission, the military
authorities the FiIipinos and the foreigners are
awaiting the result of the Presidential election
in the United States. Many persons assert. that,
whatever this may be, it will have immedi-
ate effect upon the armed situation in the Phil
ippines, and that disorders and guerilla 5acks
will continue for time
r. Wildman, United States Consul General at
Hong-Kong, who is in Manila, says the ex-
pectation of a general anti-foreign outbreak in
Southern China, notably in Canton, is growing
daily. and that cable dispatches received by
him last week record an increasing uneasiness
in Hong Kong.

BRYAN LEADER OF FILLPINOS.
HIS SPEECHES KEEPING THE CONTEST
ALIVE-DEATHS OF SOLDIERS
LAID AT HIS DOOR

San Francisco. Oct. 81 (SpeciaD-Some start
ling proof that Bryan's campaign speeches are
taken literally by the Filipinos and are keeping
alive the struggle in the Philippines and caus
ing the death of many American soldiers comes
in a letter from Manila from Daniel S. Williams
secretary to Professor Bernard Moses, of the
Philippine Commission. Mr. Williams is
complished Spanish scholar. and. the secre
tary of the Commissioner, he has had unusual
opportunities for observation. He declares the
Flipinos believe the islands will be evacuated
by the Americans should Bryan be elected, and
that in one case truce has been called till after
election. The letter says:
Much interest exists here with regard to the
campaign now going in the States. The
Democrats are quite active here now. Twenty
soldiers were killed the other day, being con-
tribution to the campaign material of the Demo
Gratis. This would have ended long
ago were it not for Bryan. He is more the
leader of these people now than Aguinaldo, and
every American soldier that Is killed during
these months can be laid directly to his door.
They making extra efforts now, simply to
make a showing to be used in the States. If
Bryan is defeated the whole thing will crumble.'
In Mndanao there is an armed truce between
the Americans and the Filipinos until after the
election. If Bryan is elected the Filipinos ex-
pect the Americans to be withdrawn the next
day, while if he is defeated they will surrender
at once. That is the best illustration 1 can
give OF true conditions here.

the day quietly resting after his trip through the
West. He received no visitors except his secre-
tary. William j. Youngs. who had a conference
with his chief in the afternoon. The Governor
did not go to church Mr.. YOungs explained the
refusal TO see visitors by saying that Governor
Roosevelt must take advantage OF every posi-
bic moment 10 save his strength
Mr. Youngs said he was surprised at the fine
condition OF the Governor He had lost but
little weight on the trip. and his eyes were as
Gear as ever. He was suffering from his throat
somewhat, but not TO such an extent as was
feared. The strain on the vocal cords had
strengthened them after making them sore. and
the Governors voice was now in far better con-
dition than after less work in the last state
campaign.
Colonel Roosevelt will leave Oyster Bav al
$40 tomorrow morning. He will go TO New
York. and then will begin his last big tour OF
the campaign. He will be accompanied to New
YoTs- by Mr.. Youngs. Those who saw the Gov

saw nothing unusual in his appearance. and
that he was as active usual, and certainly
showed little Ill effect from his speaking trip.

SAYS NKLNLEY WILL WIN.
"THE HERALD'S" POLL GIVES HIM 2S1
ELECTORAL VOTES.

1.-The New-York Herald" which, as IS we'll
known is independent in politics, published yes
terday prediction of the result of the coming
election, which it asserts is based on data col
lected with unusual care. tine Herald believes
that McKinleys votes in the electoral college
will probably amount to 2S1, to Bryan's 1856.
AS there are 447 votes in the electoral college,
224 being necessary to a choice. Mckinley will
therefore have according to 'The Herald's'
prediction, a probable majority of 116 votes. In
1896 he had a majority of 90 votes THE Her
aid" extends it's prediction to cover the COM
plexion of the next Congress also and thinks
that the new House of Representatives will
probably have 1S5 Republican votes, 153 Demo-
cratic. 8 Fusionists and Silver Republicans and
Populists with fourteen districts doubtsus Il
the Senate, says 1.-The Herald" there will prob
ably be at least forty-slx Republicans, which is
one more than majority. There are eleven
Senate elections pending which 1.-THE Herald
classes as doubtful 1t counts twenty-eight
Democrats. three Populists and one independent
Senator certain.
In making up by States it's estimate of the
vote for President 1.-The Herald thinks the
Republicans will carry New-York State by a
plurality of 115,000, and it allows a plurality of
only about 10000 for Bryan in New-York City
Manhattan and The Bronx may give him 3OOOo
plurality, but Brooklyn will give Mckinley a
plurality of about 5000 and Queens 700. Bryan
will carry Richmond by about 1,2OO. Oden will
defeat Stanchfeld for Governor by probably
$1,000. The State Senate will stand thirty
two Republicans to eighteen Democrats, and
the Assembly ninety-four Republicans and fifty
six Democrats.
Passing on. "The Herald" gives Mckinley a
plurality of 900 or more in Maryland, 1000 IN
Delaware, $4,000 in New-Jersey, 10000 in Ill
Iinois 10000 in Kansas, 5000 in Wyoming
$4,000 in Iowa and 65OO0 in Wisconsin. 1t also
considers that Mckinley will carry west VII Eir-

venture to give figures in these States. To Bryan
are conceded. Nebraska probably, Idaho, Mon

given and Bryan's plurality in Missouri Is estl-
mated as low as 5000.
