MISS LONG SERIOUSLY ILL.
Secrstgry's Daughter Nearly Collapses
 On a Train Coming East.

Colorado Springs, Co!o., Oct. A. Miss Helen Long, who is a daughter of Secretary Long. and who left i.erc at noon yesterday for Hingham, Mass, on a visit to her father, reached Dem yer in a state bordering on collapse. She left here in a private car accom- panied by her sister. Miss Margaret. her grandmother, Mrs. Glover. and Mss Carter. pr. Gerald Webb, her physician. also accompanied her.
 The altitude at Colorado Springs is COCO feet. Denver is somewhat lower. Between the two cities Is the great divide at 5000 feet altitude. The ex- citement of preparation together with the crossing of the divide, is responsi- ble for the collapse. Dr. Webb deem d 1t best to delay the journey a day or more. If improvement is not satisfac- tory the trip may be abandoned alto gether and the party will return to the Long residence here.
 Miss Long came here in November. 1898. She was suffering from nervous prostration and had developed incip- tent pulmonary trouble. She improved immediately. Her fever soon left her and she has been almost entirely free from it during her residence here She has not recovered her former health, but in this climate she may live in fair health for many years. The Long res idence was completed six months ago.

NEW YORK POLITICS.
Meeting at the White House
 Today or Tomorrow
President Roosevelt Will Sustain Collector Bidwell, and Will Gen erally Stand With the Old State Organization.

New York. Oct. 4.-President Roose- welt has invited Senator Thomas Collier Piatt to come to see him at the White house and talk Ito him about the political complexion of New York state. There are many matters to be discussed. No one has desired to speak of possible complica- tions in New York state republican politics until President Roosevelt was fairly in his seat. President Roosevelt is frank, candid and straight forward. There is 10 equivocation with him in any way. and nobody knows this better than Senator Platt and Col. George w. Dunn, chairman of the republican state committee who has recently visit ed President Roosevelt at the White house.
 President Roosevelt understands form the first letter of the alphabet to the last, the exigencies of New York republican politics. He Is rot to be carried away by any idle gossip. and he is to do everything. it is said, to carry out the 7iea that he is President McKinley's political executor and lega- = tee. In 1904 when President Roosevelt is to be renominated by the republican national convention. he can fit his ad- ministration to his own political desires and aspirations.
 President Roosevelt in his talk with Senator Platt is to go over the federal appointments in New York city. There are many personal matters to be con sidered. The haphaZard statements of certain people. printed in certain New York newspapers cannot be relied up on- Senator Piatt with the present governor of the state of New York, MT Odell, nominated Mir. Roosevelt for governor against MT Black. and it was MT. Platt and MT. Quay of Pennsyl- vanfa who forced MT. Hanna to nom- mate MT. Roosevelt for vice president at the Philadelphia national conven- tion.
 No matter about the motives of these men, Mir. Roosevelt was made gover- nor and was eventually made president by the republican organization of the state of New York. The personal at tacks on Collector Bidwell will not be tolerated by the president or the presi- dents friends. The president is friendly, not only to MT. Bidwell. but he likes Postmaster Van Cott. and he is contented with Surveyor Croft. He does not say much about Appraiser Wakeman or Pension Agent Kerwin. or Internal Revenue Collectors Treat and Eidman. CT Naval Officer Sharkey. or Immigration Commissioner Fitch:r, or Postmaster Wilson of Brooklyn: but President Roosevelt proposes to do ab- solutely what he considers to be right as successor of President Mckinley and to the honor and glory of the republican organization of the state of New York. which in times past has given him such signal recognition.

They believe that the Chinese now comprehend that Europe is a force to be reckoned with and that a long reign of peace will be the result of this. The foreign military contin- gents remaining in China are said to be ample to preserve tranquility.
 The French officers say that the two powers most benefited by the recent events in China are France and Great Britain. The latter has strengthened her position and increased her in huence
 The Paris correspondent of the Times quotes an interview with General Voy- ron by a representative of the Temps. The general praised Field Marshal Cunt von Waldersee and the Russians and said also that the relations be- tween himself and the British com manders were cordial.
 The British. however. had much more in common with the Americans. The British troops included a detachment of Sikhs whom the French do not re- gard as soldiers.

 Africa

London, Oct. 4.-The Berlin cor-e- spondent of the Times quotes an edi- torial in the Kreuz Zeitung which de- soribes the campaign of calumny waged by a section of the German press in regard to the British opera tions in South Africa as 'the expres- sion of the universal indignation of the continental press at the brutalities per petrated against the Boer women and children
 The same paper protests against comparing the German methods il 1S70-71 with the British methods in South Africa. The correspondent re- marks that 1t is the invariable practice of German newspaper controversalists to endeavor by every possible means to confuse the issues. If. he says, the German pro-Boer organs desire to give the German public an opportunity to :,s impartial. let them publish the German military proclamat on of 1S70-1 side by side with the proclamations of Lord Kitchener an other British command CTS of the present war.

MARBLE SWITCHBOARD FAILS.
Beautiful, But Vein of Iron Led
 Power Astray. It Is Said.

Oakdale, L. l., Oct. 4.-The hand some marble switchboard in the power house at Idle Hour. w. K. Vanderbilt's s estate here, is being torn out The installation of the switchboard was an expensive piece of work, but ever since it was put in service the electrical power of the entire plant has been very weak. The electricians have pug zled over the apparent escape of the current and searched for it in many directions but without success.
 Finally it was decided that the trou- ble must be in the switchboard, and a careful investigation disclosed that the marble contained a vein of iron sufii- ciently we'll developed to scatter the electric force. It was decided to tear out the switchboard and construct a new one of other material. The work will occupy the time of six men for a month.
