His Long Western Trip a Week
from Next Friday.
WAS TIRED OUT YESTERDAY
TRAVELLED NEARLY TWO THOUSAND
MILES IN A FEW DAYS.
of BeIIamy StOrer to Be
Ambassador to Germany Has Not
Been Decided On.

OYSTER BAY. N. Y. Sept. 1o.-President
Roosevelt returned from his Southern tour
to-day. The Sylph, on which he cane from
New York, arrived here at 4:5O p. m. The
President was accompanied by Secretary
Cortelyou, Assistant Secretary Loeb, Mrs
Roosevelt and Miss Ethel Roosevelt. The
last three Joined him in New York. The
President was pretty well tired out and
retired at an early hour. Secretary Cor
telyou went to his home in Hampstead.
1t was authoritatively denied tonight
that the United States government has
sounded the German government as to the
appointment of Belamy Storer. at present
minister to Spain, as the successor to An
drew ID. White, as American ambassador
to Germany. 1t can be stated by the same
authority that the successor to Mr.. White
has not yet been selected. The name of
Mr.. Storer Is being considered. as is also
that Of Mr.. Tower the present ambassador
to Russia. Several others, well known in
diplomatic circles, are under consideration.
1t is expected that the new ambassador
will be announced in few days.
President Roosevelt will make no more
appointments to receive visitors before 60
ing on his Western trip. which begins on
Sept. 10. He will devote the time between
now and then in preparing for the trip and
in disposing OF accumulated business. This
will not interfere with the reception to his
friends and neighbors of Nessan county,
arranged for the 10 inst, and the hours
of the reception will be from to o'clock
in the afternoon. The citizens are making
great preparations for the event and a
meeting will be held tomorrow night at
which committees Will be appointed and
the details projected.

events-Democratic newspapers, even the
Sentinel or its correspondent, repeated the
falsehood. but IL failed to make the re-
Quired impression.
Then the Democratic press Of the dis
trict scratched it's head and hit upon the
idea of saying that Representative Brick
did not actually deliver a speech in the
House of Representatives favoring his bill
for the erection in Washington of a monu-
ment to Count Pulaski. 1t was claimed he
prepared speech and simply had Ii in
serted in the Congressional Record. The
fact Is that Brick made a most excellent
speech on the floor of the House favoring
the statue, and that his bill passed. In
spite of the truth the Democratic papers,
finding IL hard to create the desired impress
sion against Brick, have had to resort to
such palpable falsehoods, and even in the
face of these methods have failed to stir
up the trouble and dissatisfaction that they
had hoped would result. Through all the
low things that have been said and the
falsehoods that have been published Rep
resentative Brick has borne himself with
dignity and complacently smiled as though
nothing had happened, knowing that while
falsehoods travel rapidly the truth was al
most certain to be ultimately realized.
The action of the Democratic leaders in
deciding to give up their efforts to defeat
Brick shows the extent of his strength
throughout the district. OF course, the
district leaders will continue their pigmy
efforts, and further mudslinging and false
stands high among the thoughtful Repub-
leans and Democrats, and will be re-
elected. The best the Democrats can hope
to do Is to cut his majority. The thinking
though, that Brick is really the best rep
resentative this part of Indiana has had
since the days of the late Schuyler Colfax
and that, having at last secured good
be kept in Congress as long as he will ac-
cept the honor.

PEACE REIGNS in TEXAS
REPUBLICAN LEADERS FINALLY
HAVE BURIED THE RATCHET.
Washington State Republican Con-
ventfOn-NO Democratic-POpuIist
Fusion in Colorado.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Sept. 10.-Peace
reigns in the ranks of Texas Republicans
and all differences are buried. Reconcilia-
ton was made possible by a joint conference
held this afternoon between the leaders,
the meeting having been arranged by a
letter addressed to State Chairman Lyon
by Z. II. r. Green, who yesterday an
nounced that he was harmony candidate
for State chairman. 1t was agreed that
Lyon should be State chairman, Hawley
national committeeman and temporary
chairman of the convention and Green
permanent chairman of the convention. 1t
was reported to-day that it was the wish
of President Roosevelt that Lyon should
succeed himself and this, 1t is claimed, had
a salutary effect on the deliberations in
conference.
1t is announced that a full State ticket
will be nominated because of the action of
Z. III. X. Green in withdrawing from the
night declined the nomination for Governor
and several names will probably be pre-
scented.
The following telegram was read tonight.
1t was sent to E. III. r. Green by ]. s.
Garrison, of New York: 1.-The President
is greatly pleased with your position and
friendship. Relies on your power and good
Judgment. Hopes for a reunited party and
harmonious action. He is especially anxious
for the election of Republican congress-
men from Texas"

TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 1O.-The Repub-
lican State convention to-day, by a unan-
imous vote, sent telegram to President
Roosevelt approving his Philippine and do
nestle policies, expressing sympathy with
his brave stand for the common people"
and pledging support in 1904" In calling
the convention TO order, Chairman Schivel
criticised the party of the State for caus-
ing the defeat of Frink for Governor two
years ago in the face of 1900 Republican
majority.
The platform indorses the administration
of Governor Mcbride; favors the retention
of the Philippines: the admission of Ari-
IONA, New Mexico and Oklahoma when
they shall become as populous as was the
State of Washington when admitted; in
dorses the foreign and domestic policies of
President Roosevelt cOinmends the atti-
tude of the President toward trusts; favors
the policy of President Roosevelt in the re-
clamation of arid lands; an eight-hour law
on State and federal work, except in cases
of emergency; and practical legislation for
the improvement of public roads of the
State and the advancement of the good
roads movement.

END OF SOUTHERN TRIP.
The President Travelled 1896 Miles
and His Strength Was Taxed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. - President
Roosevelt arrived here at $50 o'clock this
morning in his special train over the South
ern Railroad and left at o'clock via the
Pennsylvania Railroad for New York. The
President and his party travelled from
Washington in two cars attached to the
regular train. From New York the Sylph
will convey the President to Oyster Bay.
During the half hour in the depot,
number of railroad men, newspaper men
and travellers gathered around it in the
hope of getting glimpse of the President.
They were disappointed in this, however,
for the almost continuous travelling of the
past three weeks had taxed his strength
and he was enjoying the sleep and rest
afforded by the long run from North Caro-
lima. No incidents worthy of note marked
the journey during the night Several
White House officials were on hand TO meet
the train and for some time were engaged in
conversation with Secretary Cortelyou.
The Southern trip, which virtually ended
here. covered a distance of 1,666 miles, over
two systems, the b. G. o. and the Southern
and was under the PERSONAL direction of S.
B. Hedge, of the former road and Colonel
l.. S. Brown, of the latter. The schedule
for the entire trip, prepared by
l.. s. Martin, manager of passenger traffic
of the b. & o., was maintained through
out.

DUELISTS PUNISHED.


MILAN, Italy. Sept. 1O.-As a result of
duel fought here few days ago between
two captains of the Sixtieth Regiment, the
Italian authorities seem to be determined
to stamp out dueling. The challenger to
the duel I'm question has been expelled
from the army and his antagonist has been
sent to a fortress, but the most striking
features of the affair are the other punitive
measures taken in connection with 1T. The
colonel of the Sixtieth Regiment has been
suspended, the lieutenant colonel has been
sentenced to imprisonment for fifteen days
and two majors have been given ten days
Imprisonment. Four captains, who acted
as seconds in the duel, have been sent to
a fortress for six months.
These severe measures have created a
favorable impression.

EMPEROR WAS UP EARLY

UNSEEMLY HOUR.
Parliamentary Paper on the Confer.
ence Between Chamberlain and
the Boer Generals.

RT-ON-THE-ODER, Sept. 10.
Emperor Williams guests were yawny
and rather haggard lot this morning.
Prince Albrecht, as the Emperor's repre-
sentative, entertained all of them at din
ner last evening and it was toward IL
when the party broke up. AT a. m. or
a quarter past, they had themselves
called, the Emperor having directed that
the battle begin at Z. The field of the
maneuvers is situated quite a distance by
rail from Frankfort-on-the-Od Oder, and the
princes and generals had to assemble at
the railroad station at 4:S0 a. m, to catch
the special train. Even then, the Emperor
was afield before them.
Tons of gunpowder were burned to-day
Sixty thousand infantry and two hundred
pieces of artillery were in action. The
reports near and distant of the many thou
sands of rifles was broken at intervals by
the tearing, ripsawing effect of the firing
of the machine guns.
Emperor William, Major General Corbin,
Major General Young. Brigadier General
Wood, Lord Roberts, General French and
the other visitors and the numerous staff.
in all one hundred horsemen, looked on
from hilltop midway between q portion
horizon to the west flashed eleven batteries
of artillery, under whose imaginary shells
the infantry of the red army advanced.
The scenic effect of the whole, especially
of the seemingly limitless number of troops,
satisfied the observers. The red army
pushed through the blues center after
three hours brisk work and the aeronauts
sent up a great yellow ball, which was visi-
bic for ten miles around, as signal that
the umpires had ordered a suspension of
the engagement
During wait of three-quarters of an
hour for the return of the special train,
Lord Roberts and Generals Young and
Wood talked most of the time together.
Emperor William camped with cavalry
tonight occupying a wooden pavilion, es-
pecially constructed for him. The i'm
perial baggage consisted of 200 trunks.
The opposing forces were freshly re-
arranged on the field after the guests and
other official visitors accompanying them
returned from Frankfort-on-the-Od Oder, the
Emperor remaining tirelessly on his horse
the engagement was resumed and at the
end of the day the blue army was adjudged
to have won superior positions. The start
tomorrow will be half an hour earlier thar
to-day, requiring the guests to be up al
a. m. There is some jocular complaining
of this too strenuous life

carrying on SO lavishly.
Speaking on the subject of applied chem
istry. Prof Dewar made scathing crit
icism of the ''deplorable backwardness or
Great Britain in this field, as compared 10
foreign countries. Taking Germany as an
example, the professor declared that. not
withstanding the immense range OF cheml-
cal industries I'm which the United Kingdom
had once been prominent, Germany to-day
employed a professional staff three times
as great as the United Kingdom and as
superior in technical training and acquire
ments as IL was numerically. German chem
zeal manufacturers, the speaker declared,
enjoyed a practical monopoly, which en-
abled them to exact huge profits from the
rest OF the world and to establish In an al
most unassailable position industries which
were largely founded on basic discoveries
made by the English chemists, but which
had never been properly developed in the
land of their birth. The explanation OF this
disastrous phenomenon Prof. Dewar
gave In three words, Want Of education"
