tary of war, the attorney general, the

only as they are eligible to the office of

and duties Of the office shall devolve upon
them.

ceeding to the office of president shall be

Sheriff Jacobs said the rioters had fired
into washery near Wilkesbarre and had
blown up railroad bridge with dyna
mite. He was alone in his office while
speaking with Mr.. Gerwig and said it
would not be necessary to send troops be-.
fore morning.
= No demand has since been received from
the sheriff and the state authorities are
hopeful that it will not be necessary to
order out additional troops.
The Ninth regiment whose headquarters
are at Wilkesbarre is under waiting orders
and If the sheriff renews his request for
troops it is likely that this regiment will
be ordered to his assistance. T..
The governors advices from Lebanon
this morning are that the situation is
improved and that there are no signs of
further rioting or an outbreak such as
would require the presence Of additional
troops. - =

India napoliS, Ind, Sept. 24.-The fact
that an incipient absces on the presidents
leg would probably lead to the abandon
ment of the northwestern trip explains
why the first speech yesterday morning
at Logansport, Ind, contained the an
nouncement favOring permanent bi-par-
tsan commission to revise the tariff. This
announcement was to have been made at
Milwaukee tonight, but was made at LO-
ganspOrt in order to insure it's getting be-
fore the country authoratively at this
time.
At Peru, Ind, a few miles above I1o-
gansport the train stopped long enough
yesterday morning for two Indianapolis
surgeons to be summoned by wire for

speech taking the turn it did, was offered
unofficially by gentlemen in the presi-

what was going on and was generally &C.
copied until the official bulletin came out

special request on the suggestion of
DR.. Lung who wanted to defer any an
nouncement until after the consultation at
Indianapolis. "a,
The president appeared in his usual
good form at the Indianapolis armory and
his speech was delivered with especial
vigor. There was nothing in his actions
or carriage to suggest that he was sur
fering pain or was in the least degree UNI
comfortable physically. At the close of
the speech he was driven to the Co.
lumbia Club where luncheon was wait
ing. Then came the first delay, but still
nothing was said to suggest any untoward
occurrence. The president, Secretary
Root Secretary Cortelyou, Doctors Lung
and Richardson and a stenograph re-
tired into private room and asked to be
left alone for few moments. The an
nouncement was shortly afterwards made
to the waiting Indianapolis gentlemen at
the club that the president had received
very heavy and important mail and that
this, with the arrival Of Secretary Root
would compel him to ask the indulgence
of his hosts for fifteen to twenty minutes
while he dictated some important official
kilograms. In the meantime the two

several statements that did not strike
Miss Adams favOrably, and that she die
not suffer to pass unchallenged.
Mr.. Stickney said that the sole objec,
of labor organizations was to help the
wage Garner in securing fair division o.
the fruits Of his labor; in other words t
secure for him fair wages. Miss Addam:
replied that the chief aim Of labor organi

and she quoted government reports tt
prove it. H. .,:.-s..s ~
! Mr.. Stickney said the trouble in the

| that more wOrkmen had been attracted
there by the highwages paid, than were
needed to do the work; that the supply
of labor was largely in excess of the de
mand. =

men had not gone there because of l1igl
wages, but had been induced to 81

listing conditions, saying that they hat
deliberately brought men into the fields
