Forgot His Injury.

During the delivery OF his speech.
when he became aroused, he stood on
both legs, and at one point in the
speech he seemed TO forget about his
injury so completely that he took sew
eral steps, and in so doing hit his leg
against a gun that was stacked with
others on the stage An expression of
pain passed quickly over his face, which
was remarked upon by many listening
to him, who could not understand why
he should make such peculiar facial
expressions. The trip to the Columbia
club followed without any feature that
would give even a hint that the west
ern trip of the president was at an end
Every one, including even those who
were in the presidents party, outside
OF Secretary Cortelyou and the physi-
clans. had no thought but that the pro-
gramme was to be carrAed out to the
end. and il was a gay throng that
marched into the club to take luncheon
and have a little rest. But instead of
going into the dining room the presi-
dent was taken into a private room.
where. unknown TO, the crowd inside
and outside of the club, he was made
the subject of a serious consultation by
the physicians. His leg was barred and
the swelling examined.

The Doctors Insisted.

After a considerable time the
physicians arrived at the YER
dict. Said DR.. Oliver: I'm order to
avoid possible blood poisoning setting
in, it viii be necessary for the presi-
dent to submit to a slight operation, Z"
and in this view all the other doctors
concurred. The president demurred,
but his objections were overruled by
the argument that a man in his posi-
ton could not afford TO take chances
The president wished that the opera
ton. since il was necessary, should
be postponed until he reached Wash
'ng&on, bat the physicians again
proved obdurate. They said that while
no very serious consequences might
follow a postponement of the opera
ton. still there remained a possibility
that there might. They gave it as
their opinion that the bruise could not
be trified with, and that no one could
afford. under all the circumstances, to
take any chances in postponing the
needed surgical attention. The YER
diet of the doctors being thus pro-
nounced. there was nothing left to be
done but to carry out their mandate.
In the meantime. many of the recep-
ton committees were eating dinner,
anu dlltf AAr lapse OH 4ouI OF more
the president himself went into the
dining room and took luncheon with a
small party at one of the tables.
He then was escorted TO the gallery
of the club facing the monument.
where he made a short speech in good,
clear voice, and seemed to be the last
person in the world who would be sup
posed TO be suffering from any physical
ailment. He then retired within one
of the rooms of the club and the active
part Of carrying out the change in the
programme was begun.
Secretary CortelyOu called Colonel
Harrison and requested him to notify
the members of the reception commit
tee in the dining room and the club
that the president would not be es-
corted TO the station. The colonel car
ried out the request replying to ques-
lions that the president was resting
or that it had been decided to take him
I away in the carriage without a formal
| escort.
The orders were given to the captains
Of the militia and the heads of the po-
lice, and at 3:15 o'clock. everything
being in readiness, the dash to the hos
pital was made

New York Democrats Break UpI
Meeting in a Serious
Quarrel.
Devery Leaves Convention and
Holds Mass Meeting--Is q
Good Democrat.

SARATOGA, Oct. THE Democrat
ic state convention was so strenuos
In its Anal hours as TO bring on the
most personal conflict and yet terml-
mated In such perfect harmony as to
| allow the completion Of the state tick
ct, with less than $50 delegates out
OF $50 In the hall.
The convention began early in the
morning with a prepared slate Of the
candidates. Naturally great deal of
interest In the convention centered in
the attitude 1t would take toward the
seating of W. s. Devery. formerly
head OF the police department of New
York. who had regular certificate of
the election.
When the convention decided TO
adopt its report OF the committee by
vote of Gel TO 81, Devery walked out
OF the convention without allowing
himself to be declared a good Demo-
crat and proceeded to hold a mass
meeting on the steps of the United
States hotel. Then Devery started for
home and threatened all SORTS of dis
aster for the ticket. but halted long
enough in his denunciation to assert
that he was a good Democrat.
When Coler's name had been placed
in nomination and nominations closed,
Nathan Strauss, of New York, appeared
and offered objections to Coler, He
had hardly begun to state his objec-
tlons. however, when he was roundly
Missed and finally he was ruled out Of
order He started to leave the plat
form, putting notes from which he was
reading into his pocket, and when he
reached the steps OF the Auditorium
he was surrounded by number of
newspaper men, who desired copies of
his remarks. number Of Tammany
delegates surrounded him and pressing
him against the wall took the notes
from him and tore them up. Luckily
he had preserved copy in his pocket,
and this copy he managed to- hand to-
the newspaper men.
In the undelivered speech furnished
to the press by Nathan Strauss, he de-
clares that II Coler was nominated he
would do all In his power to defeat him
at the polls. Strauss referred to his
work In the distribution of, practically
free of charge. milk TO the poor chill
dren Of the tenements OF New York
City, and declared that Coler had
tried to stor 1t, although he pledged
himself to help II along.

The presidents decision to send the

president that there was no way un-

Every phase of the situation was can

the mine operators and President
Mitchell meet the president was reach
ed when It was found that no other
method was open.
The meeting Of Friday to approach
towards a settlement Of the strike will
be an appeal by President Roosevelt
to both sides to come together as men
and not to allow false pride or feel

to the elimination Of the great strike
which is fraught with such threats of
misery to thousands of people. II is
