NOW UNDER MARTIAL LAW
SERIOUS STRIKE RIOTING AT VAL.
LEYFIELD, CANADA.
Troops Called Out to Suppress Rioters
Racial Hatred FOments
the Trouble.

MONTREAL, October 26.-There are now
on duty at Valleyf1eld, guarding the extern
sive works of the Dominion Cotton Com
pany, Is officers and 1853 non-commissioaed
officers and men of the Royal Scots, Vic
toria Rifles and Garrison Artillery, aug
nented by bearer corps The Victoria
Rifles have their Maxim gun with them
The sending Of reinforcements was decided
on late last night, after the first detach-
ment of the Royal Scots had come into col
lision with the strikers, and as the result
had nine Of their men sent to the hospital.
The Scots were practically at the mercy
of the strikers, as Col. Ibbotson was unable
to find a magistrate who was willing to
read the riot act. The officers had to con-
tent themselves with firing their revolvers
into the air. In the meantime the men
were the targets for a fusillade of stones
and other missiles.
The town, it may be explained, is largely
French Canadian, and has at all times been
q hotbed Of race hatred. eliminating in
trouble recently over the employment of
Englishmen in the mills, where there are
some 1000 employees paid by English capt.
tai. Although the present trouble is on ac-
count of refusal on the part Of the mill
management to recognize the union IN the
matter of demand for more pay for the
men working on the construction Of a new
mill. the difficulty has all the appearance
of assuming the old phase Of racial antag-
onism, fuel being added to the flames by
the presence of the British red coats from
Montreal. detachment Of the Duke of
York's Royal Canadian Hussars Cavalry
is under orders to proceed to Valleyfield to-
day.
Only one striker was wounded last night.
He was shot in the arm and is not seriously
injured.
Four hundred more operatives Joined the
strikers this morning. The town is now
under martial law.

BEVERIDGE is ENTHUSIASTIC.
Indiana Senator Talks of Republican
Prospects This Fall.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CHICAGO, October Ex-senator Albert ].
Beverage visited republican headquarters
today, fresh from a tour of Indiana. He
held a long conference with Chairman Han
ma and Secretary Heath, and left this after
noon to take up his speaking tour in the
hoosier state. Senator Beveridge, in dis
cussing the situation with a representative
of The Star. said:
Indiana seems safely republican. Not
by 10000 or 10000, but by 10000 The meet
ings have ceased to be political in their
aspect; they are the spontaneous uprising
of Americans 1t is greater than a land
slide. Mckinley and Roosevelt will sweep
Indiana as she was never swept before.
Kentucky, where l made several speeches,
is bound to elect Yerkes, and If our votes
are counted the state will go republican by
10000.
kansas is as surely republican as Ohio,
and l would not be at all surprised to see
Nebraska for Mckinley. 1 was In the state
and the welcome l received was surprising.
The country is awake. 1t Is the uprising
of the people. 1t has been said that the
gold democrats had gone back to the dem
ocratic party. Don't you believe it. At
least II is not SO in Indiana. Last night
at Evansville / was met by a delegation
and one-half of them were former gold
democrats This year they are not only
for Mckinley, but out and out republicans
The surprise of this campaign is the young
men. They are taking a more active part
than ever before and all are for Mckinley
l tell you this is a grand campaign"

Gov. Roosevelt Closes His Campaign
in New York.
TO SPEAK IN CITY TONIGHT
He Has Good Audiences at Albany
and Schenectady.
DIS SSES THE USTS

SYRACUSE, N Y, October Ex-Governor
Roosevelt started at $50 O clock this morn
ing on the nnal stage of his electioneering
tour of New York state. Todays work will
be made easy, so as to save the governor
voice and strength for tonight's meeting in
New York city. The principal stop curing
the day. will be at Schenectady, where an
hours meeting Is scheduled. Stops of ten
minutes will also be made at Amsterdam
and Albany. 1t is. expected that the train
will get into New York shortly after 5
o'clock.
First Stop at Amsterdam. ,
AMSTERDAM, N. Y, October 26.-The
first stop of the Roosevelt special train on
its run to New York was made here For
the few minutes that he talked Governor
Roosevelt took up the trust problem with
some local applications, calling the atten-
ton of his auditors to Mr.. Bryans state
ment that he would remove the tariff from
all articles manufactured in this country
by so-called trusts.
There are large carpet factories here, and
the governor asserted that if Mr.. Bryans
theory was put in practice, while it might
result in the destruction of the trust, 1t
would also result in throwing all Of the
workers out of occupation. He said in part:
ut is of course, true that there are men
who work hard and get less than they
are others who receive in excess of what
they should.
THAT is a fault that it is perhaps posi-
BILE to remedy. According to Mr.. Bryan,
there is only one, remedy for these evils,
and that is the absolute destruction Of
every so-called trust or of a large money
making employer.
Now just think OF what that means. For
instance, steam and electricity have large
ly created the conditions with which we
have to deal. Now no one in his senses
would take the radical step to remedy the
trust evil by destroying steam and cleo
tricity. and yet that is what Mr.. Bryan
wants to do.
Doctor Would XIII the Patient.
HE could, Of course, stop the trust per-
fectly well, but he would kill the patient
and with the patient every man whose
livelihood depends upon the success of the
business"
Mr.. Roosevelt entered upon a plea for
the republican state ticket, and incidentally
spoke of Cookers domination Of the city
of New York and his possible extension of
power to New York state A man in the
gallery asked two or three times, What
about Platt?'
The governor was speaking very ear
nestly, and paid no heed to the question.
The governor devoted quite a little of his
speech to militarism, arguing in the same
strain as he has at other places.

GEN. LEE TO LEAVE CUBA.
Number of Departments to Be Re-
duced.

1t has been decided in the interests of
economy to change the form of military
administration in Cuba. At present there
are two military departments on the is
lands one embracing the western territory
under command of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, and
the other embracing the eastern territory
commanded by Col. S. NJ Whitside of the
10th Cavalry. These two departments are
comprised in the division of Cuba com
manded by Maj Gen. Leonard Wood The
plan In contemplation is to abolish both of
the military departments and to merge
them into the division under the direct
command or Gen Wood, and it is expected
that orders to that effect will be issued soon
after Secretary Roots return to Washing
ton BY that arrangement the government
VIII reduce the military expense of the is
lahu TO the maintenance of but one head
quarters instead of three, as at present.
On being relieved of his command Cen
Lee VIII return to this country and be as
signed to other duty. The reduction of the
departments in Cuba will release a number
OF regular army officers for service with
their commands in this country and in the
Philippines.
