ROOSEVELT IN 1904.
Slogan OF the Marquette Club
Banquet.


Chicago, April l3O.-"Theodore Roose.
velt. of New York, for President in
1904" was the slogan of the Marquette
Club banquet tonight. Governor
Roosevelt was there, and looked happy
at its suggestion and its hearty endorse
ment of cheers from the 200 banqueters.
TOastmaster Frank Lowden told the
guest of honor that only a few years
ago the Marquette Club had brought
ont William Mckinley as a presiden.
tial candidate, and when his remarks
switched to Roosevelt" white
House." and '19O4," the 200 tried
hard to make themselves hoarse.
Governor Roosevelt was the first
speaker of the evening, because he had
to leave early. He pleaded for high
ideals in politics, but said nothing
could be accomplished unless things
were gone at practically and deter.
ininedly. He Knocked at the "goody.
goody man" who refused to do his
political duty because he was "jostled
by the rude man."
III AL interview To-Day Governor
Roosevelt declared that he would rather
be in private life than be vice-president
of the United States. He said that
his position in regard to the Republi-
can nomination for this ce was abso-
lutely unalterable. He said he would
be glad if the Republicans of New
York should renominate him for gov.
ernor. and expressed the belief that he
could be of more service to his party
and the public in that position than as
vice. president.
In reply to a question as to how he
regarded Admiral Dewey as presiden-
tial possibility, he said the admiral
was a personal friend of his, and he did
not care to talk of him politically.

STORY OF REDDERSBURG.
Told by Correspondent Who Was
With General De Wet.

Told by Correspondent Who was
With General De Wet.
Lourence Marques, April 30.-A cor.
respondent of the Standard and Digger
News whit the Boer commander, Gen.
eral DeWst. gives full description of
the British disaster at Reddersburg.
He says:
"Five hundred Irish Rifles entered
DeWet's Dorp on April / under Cap
tain McWhlnnie and demanded the sur
render of the town which was readily
given. Captain McWhinnie was sur.
prised to hear that Boer force was ap.
preaching and he promptly retreated to
Reddersburg.
General DeWet, fresh from his
brilliant victory at Sannas Post, fol-
lowed the retreat along range of kopjes
for hours. The two opposing forces
were in camp on different sides of the
range. General DeWet knew all about
the British positions and movements
but the Irish were quite unaware of the
proximity of the Beers. They blund.
cred again as at Sannas Post and the
scouts were not alert.
Before sunset DeWet had the Brit
ish force in his power after an engage
ment which lasted all the afternoon.
The Irish made Q most brilliant de-
fense, but their fate was never in
doubt. During the afternoon DeWet
sent 800 burghers to cut off their re-
nd hn nd n
small force of Beers to the top of the
kopjes held by the British. The latter
boldly attacked the Beers then Dew cts
plan was suddenly developed.
''The British soon found themselves
surrounded. They had, indeed, fallen
into beautiful trap for they were COM
manded at every point by the Boer
guns while their force was surrounded
on two kopjes with the Beers in be-
tween.
''At sunrise the next morning the
Rper guns commenced to hurl she'll on
the devoted Irishmen who, however,
refused to surrender, but fought with
the utmost fierceness for three hours.
At 10 O'Clock, however, the British
commander saw that further resistance
would only involve useless waste of
life, as his military position was quite
hopeless he therefore hOisted white
flag.
Twelve officers sorrowfully handed
over their swords to General DeWet
and 459 non- commissioned officers and
men surrendered. All the prisoners
were forthwith sent to Thabanchu
under escort and Genreal DeWet con-
tinued his march toward Wepener."
Carter Behind the Bars.
Leavenworth, Kan, April 3d.
Oberlin NJ. Carter, late captain U. s.
A., arrived at the federal prison here
at 1880 O'Clock this evening, under
guard of Lieutenant Thomas Haker,
Fifteenth infantry, corporal and three
soldiers. By special orders issued from
the department of justice, newspaper
men were not permitted to interview
the prisoner, who was Immediately
dressed IN the prison garb of gray and
assigned to a cell. His prison number
is 1904, and he is now the occupant OF
cell No. 425. When the late army
officer begins the monotonous grind OF
prison life it will be as prison book
keeper, for he has been assigned to this
task in the harness, broom, shoe-re-
pairing and carpet-weaving shops,
which are in the third story of the big
east building.

nine WERE KILLED
Sunday Accident at the Paris
Exposition.
| CONDEMNED BRIDGE FELL
Nino Other Persons Were Severely
Hurt-Fair Omcials Are Sharply
Criticised by the Press.

Paris. May IAN accident within
the exposition grounds caused the
death OF nine persons and injured nine.
A temporary bridge, unable to with
stand the Sunday crowd, broke. The
injuries were mostly compound frac-
lures of the legs. One woman and q
child are still unidentified.
The accident threw pail over the
immense throng who had profited by
the magnificent weather to visit the ex-
position. Today's was probably the
record attendance. Not merely the in.
terror OF the grounds, but the precincts
also were crowded, and the concourse
was particularly great along the
Avenue de Sufren, which forms the
northern boundary of the grounds.
Here Is situated big side show. the
Celestial Globe. A footbridge, on
which the finishing touches were being
put today, crosses the Avenue de Suiren.
connecting the side show with the ex-
hibition. 1t was constructed OF wood,
with stucco facade ana with
plaster-made tower mt each end.
Strangely enough the bridge had been
condemne only this morning. The
public was, therefore, not allowed to 90
upon the structure, and in this way
disaster even more terrible than that
which occurred was averted.
The gay crowd was passing along the
avenue and some hundred or more per-
sons were walking beneath the bridge.
when suddenly an ominous crash was
heard. Before those underneath could
turn aside, the structure fell with
fearful crash, burying nearly so.
A cry of horror arose from the spec
tators and mingled with the cries OF the
victims. For moment nothing could
be distinguished but a cloud Of dust
and plaster. A scene of the greatest
excitement and confusion followed.
But this was only for few seconds.
Almost Immediately the crowd attacked
the debris in an effort to release those
lying beneath. The workmen within
the grounds, who had witnessed the ac-
cident, the police and the Republican
guards, together with quite number
Of soldiers, joined in the rescue work.
The promenaders forgot their Sunday
attire and covered themselves with dirt
in tearing away the rubbish with their
hands. Wooden beams and poles were
brought from the half finished build
ings near by and were used as levers
to raise the fallen mass.
The victims first recovered were most
ly only the injured, the dead being
found later beneath the center of the
structure. Messengers were dispatched
to bring firemen and sappers, with
their equipments. and the first body
was found after quarter Of an hours
frantic labor. 1t was that of q little
girl about years old, whose head was
horribly crushed. Victim after victim
was brought to light, until a row of six
mutilated cOrpses had been placed upon
the sidewalk, and nearly 40 other per-
sons. some badly and others less seri-
ously injured, had been carried in am.
balances or driven to the hospitals.

At last the truth is out. A pri-
vate letter from Porto Rico says
that everybody there is pleased
with the new tariff except one man.
That man is the British consul at
San Juan, Mr.. Finley, who bought
up all the sugar and tobacco in
sight, anticipating its free entry in
to the United States. No wonder
the democrats in Congress were so
anxious for a free trade with Porto
Rico! They were up to their old
tricks of trying to fling the benefits
of the American market into the
laps of the British, just as they
did by the Wilson bill.-Ex.

trary he was there on mission of
love. He visited Huntingdon for
the purpose of securing a marriage
license and was returning to have
the ceremony performed, and all
would have been well, if he had
not taken the wrong transportation

John Karl, one of the proprie-

Hast Wednesday night. He had
taken a friend in Patterson home
and was returning when the bug
gy came in contact with pile of
plank at the side of the roadway.
He did not notice the pile of plank
as it was in the shade of the light.
The buggy was turned on its side.
He was rolled out on the bridge
floor, but held onto the lines, was
dragged by the horse a rod or two.
Some parties on the bridge came to
the rescue and helped stop the
horse. He was hurt on left arm
and side, but not so severely as to
keep him from attending to busi-
ness. In the fall or drag his
watch was broken.
