STANDING OF TIE CLUBS.
Roosevelt For Mighty Navy,

Washington, Sept, 27.-In his mes
sage to congress President Roosevelt
will deal especially and ut length with
the need of increasing our navy. He
will urge congress to take this matter
up at as early a moment as possible,
not to lay it aside until provision has
been made for the building of number
of the most improved type of vessels
from the first class battleship to the
third class torpedo boat. This message
will say that the need for more ships
of war does not arise through fear of
conflict with foreign powers, but be-
cause of the need of avoiding conflict.
The president is firmly of the opinion
that ability and w wllingness to fight is
one of the surest known methods of Sc
curing eternal peace

Colon, Sept. 27.-Panama is terribly
unsettled owing to apparently well
founded reports brought by incoming
steamers and received from other
sources which assert that an expedition
numbering between 100 and 200 men
under General Domingo DiaZ, which
sailed from Corinto, Nicaragua, two
weeks ago, effected a safe landing at a
place called Chame, about fifty miles
south of Panama. Chame offers splen~
did natural facilities for resisting at
tack, and the expedition is said to be
well armed and equipped and to be in
possession of modern guns.

In his speech of acceptance Mr.. Muir

CHARGES AGAINST BIDWELL.
Collector of the Port of New York
Under Fire,


Washington, Sept. 27.-There We're
two developments in the executive
mansion yesterday that brought for
ward conspicuously the political situa-
tion in New York.
one was the leaking out of informa-
tion that charges had been filed with
the president against George r. Bid
The other was the call on the presi-
dent by Colonel George w. Dunn,
chairman of the New York Republican
state committee, for the purpose Of
talking over the entire political sit
uation in the Empire State.
President Roosevelt is good at keep
ing secrets, and the fact that charges
had been filed against Mr. Bidwell was
not known until last evening, although
it is understood they have been in otfi-
cial hands for nearly a week.
Filing of the charges means that a
determined effort is to be made to pre-
vent the reappointment of the collector.
The existence of the charges explains
the presidents position toward the col
lector-that he would reappoint him
unless something appeared to show
that some other person ought to be Civ
en- the very important customs berth.
1t also explains the extreme eagerness
of the collectors friends to have the
president announce his confidence in
Mr.. Bidwell at an early day.
In the treasury department the i'm
preston is given that Mr.. Bidwell is
as good as reappointed.
1t is impossible now to ascertain who
has brought the charges against the
collector or the nature of the com
plants.

Washington, Sept. 27.-John George
Nicolay, private secretary to President
Lincoln and widely known as the au-
thor of several works on the life of the
great war president, died here yester-
day. He was seventy years old and
had been in feeble health for several
years.
Since his resignation AS marshal of
the United States supreme court in 1887
he had been living quietly at his Wash
ington home with his daughter, Miss
Helen Nicolay, the only surviving men,
Der of the family.
a warm personal friendship existed
between President Lincoln and Mr. Nj
colay. His literary work that attracted
the most attention Is the history of Lin
coin, which Mr.. Nicolay collaborated
with Colonel John Hay, the present Sec
retary of state.
Mr.. Nicolay was native of Bavaria,
but came to America at an early age
and settled in Illinois. In 1859 he be-
came Mr.. Lincoln's secretary and serv-
ed in this capacity during the civil war.
He was appointed consul at Paris in
1865, holding the office four years. He
was marshal of the supreme court for
fifteen years.

NO YACHT RACE.
Wind Not Strong Enough For the
Time Limit.


New York, Sept. 27.-The first of the
International yacht races between the
Columbia and Shamrock II. yesterday
resulted in no contest, the yachts being
uuable to finish within the time limit.
The Columbia was apparently lead
ing by over a mile when the race was
called off mt 4:35, with the Columbia
three miles from the finish.
The Columbia crossed the starting
line at 11:10:49, twelve seconds ahead
of Shamrock, and led almost all of the
way on the beat to the outer mark.
From there on the way home she was
continually in front.
When the contest began. ten knot
breeze was blowing. 1t gradually died
down to six knots, but when Colombia
turned the outer mark at 3:0G it had
picked up to nine knots.
Shamrock turned the mark at 3:12:30.
Owing to Il shift in the wind to
southerly direction the yachts had a
broad reach home instead of a run.
Columbia increased her lead after
turning the outer mark, but Shamrock
gained II bit during the latter part of
the run home
Twenty thousand persons on n vast
fotilla witnessed the uncompleted con
test.
The captain of each craft displayed
admirable seamanship.
The next attempt will be made To-
morrow.
At the New York Yacht club in For
ty-fourth street there was almost as
much rejoicing as though the race had
actually been won. 1t was freely ad
mitted that previous to yesterdays
trial there was considerable uneasi-
ness as to what the final result would
be. Now, however, there is not a
member of the club who has not the ut
most confidence that it is merely n mat
ter of getting three days when the
wind is strong enough to bring the
yachts home within the time limit.

and the bodies of six men went flying
in every direction, one of them falling
into the Passaic river, nearly $50 feet
away.
1t was at first thought at least ten
men had been killed, but when cour-
ageous firemen volunteered to be low

stood they could find but one body, that

bodies were found within a couple of

To add to the horror of the accident
there was danger of disastrous fire,
but this was soon averted by the
promptness of the fire department.

Springfield. ILL.,, Sept. 27-In spite of
the protest of his only living child the
body of Abraham Lincoln was expos
