PLANS FOR THE PRESIDENT.
Maybe Driven in Carriage Along Line
of Parade Wednesday.

Although the physicians In attendance on
President Roosevelt have advised against
the President reviewing the Grand Army
parade on Wednesday, the desire Of the
President to see the old soldiers will per-
haps be gratified by his being driven along
the line Of march In carriage. This state
ment was given out at the White House
this afternoon: $3.50.
President Roosevelt has expressed to
Commander-in-Chief Terrence and to MI.
B. H. Warner. chairman Of the local COM
mittee. his keen regret at his inability to
review the parade Of the Grand Army of
the Republic on Wednesday. His physicians
feel that he should not subject himself to
the great strain this would involve.
The President has, however, thought that
in some way he might be able to greet the
members of the Grand Army in Washing
ton, and their families and friends who ac-
company them. His physicians today stated
that If nothing unforeseen occurred in his
condition, and the weather is favorable the
President might be safely driven along the
line Of the parade Wednesday, and 1t Is
hoped this arrangement can be carried out.

MoRos AGAIN ROUTED.
A Sultan and Forty or Fifty Natives
Killed

The following account of Captain Perish
ing's expedition against the Moros has
reached the War Department by cable from
General Davis. at Manila
General Sumner. from Wears, reports
as follows upon events up to September %:
Captain Pershing and Captain Eli Hell
mick's columns fired into nearly ever Gotta
(small native forts) in Maciu. The places
were captured and destroyed. Some were
very strong, but our bursting shells de-
moralized and put the hostles to fight.
1t Is evident they do not intend TO De
cooped up as they were at Bayan (This Is
the place where Capt. Pershing first de-
feated the Moros in their forts.) One OF the
Sultans Of Maciu and forty or fifty Moros
were killed and two lantakas (smaH brass
swivel cannon) and some rifles were cap
tured. Two enlisted men slightly wounded.
No property or food destroyed except sucn
as was found in captured forts. l am
hoping that this viii be lesson that VIII
be beneficial to the Moros.
II will try to communicate with Bacolod
and others who have defied us. No oppor-
tunity will be missed to impress them with
the fact that we can live with perfect peace
with them II they will desist from hostili-
ties and recognize our sovereignty. The
Datto of Rio Grande and others OF the
friendly Moros say that our booting OF the
Macu Moros will be good news to all OF the
other Lake MorOS"

Objected to Boarding Houses.
From the Newark News

The Swensons objected to the starting Of
a boarding house in our street.
1T will disgrace u.s. they said. ut will
remove the atmosphere Of sweetness that
goes with this part of Newark"
They were the social arbiters of the
neighborhood so we listened to them. In
fact, we went so far as to serve on a COM
mittee that protested to the owner of the
proposed boarding house against this pie
beian venture.
You come from the Swensons?" he asked.
I'VE do. indeed" we replied. proud to
represent so autocratic family.
The Swensons,' said he, evidently re-
sent competition.
This required explanation.
''As to that" he explained. "the SVEN
sons. to my knowledge. supply room and
board to two maiden aunts. a grandfather.
a grandmother, three unmarried daughters,
a married son with his wife and two chill
dren and a married daughter with her hus-
band and three children; also to a stray
nephew two. a hired man and two or
three maid servants. So. Of course, 1t Is
not to be expected that they want another

hands, she calmly walked up the private
drive of q house In Green lanes In tho

STRIKE AT NEW ORLEANS.
Renewed Hope Of Settlement Of Street
Railway Troubles.

NEW ORLEANS, La, October 6.-The
people of New Orleans continue to walk or
ride in ramshackle wagons from place to
place. The order of the mayor to the
company to run its cars at 0 o'clock to-
day. which was recalled, doubtless pre-
vented violence and gave the public reason
to hope that a truce and resumption OF
traffic was in sight. Chief Of Police Jour-
nee, who had issued orders to his entire
force to hold itself In readiness to protect
cars of the company, said today that the
withdrawal of the mayors order was en-
tirely justified by conditions which devels
oped after 1t had been sent.
Reports of the cutting of street railway
and telegraph wires were numerous today.
1t was thought that the street railway
company as a measure of protection would
make move In the United States courts
today. President Pearsons says that IL a
receiver is appointed the property Of the
company will be wrecked.

NEW YORK. October 8-Liqpidation by
commission houses and syndicates was the
feature of today's stock market Prices re-
coded under the pressure OF long stock and
sentiment was mainly favorable to lower
prices. The fact that Saturdays bank
statement showed no appreciable curtail-
ment Of loans gave rise to the belief that
stocks would be sold during the present
week in order to relieve the strain upon the
banks.
Gould brokers were reported to have
given out large selling orders in the spe-

Southwestern issues and Manhattan selling

Conservative trading has been strongly rec
commended by the banks. and conservatism

Other syndicate accounts are lighter at
the end OF the day also, as sales Of Nash

Pennsylvania was sold rather freely dur
ing the day, and New York Central receded
under a moderate volume of business. The
customary selling of investment issues to
protect miscellaneous accounts was an in

stock. but such privileges have failed to in
sptre new buying in almost every instance
In which they have appeared during the
present season.
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific were
both heavy under the marketing of weakly
held stock, and all attempts of the pool to
rally prices met an increased volume of
long stock from commission houses.
News from the coal strike was mixed in
character, but in the main without new fea-
ture. A rumor that the entire national
guard of the state of Pennsylvania would
be called out to protect the mines failed to
arouse interest in the coal group. The stocks
in this department were freely sold in
spite of good support in Reading and Erie.
Rumors Of another conference with mine
leaders were heard, but Washington advices
