SIMLA, India, Nov. 16.-Lord Kitchener
commander-in-chief of the British forces in
India, has met with a serious accident
while riding home alone from country
home near here. AS he was passing through
a tunnel his horse became frightened and
collided with the walled side. One of Lord
Kitchener's legs was broken in two places.
Some time afterward coolies passing
through the tunnel found the commander
in-chief lying there helpless and brought
him to Simla. He is now reported to be
doing WELL
Although accustomed to the tunnel, Lord
Kitchener's horse was frightened by sud-
denly coming upon a native. The animal
swerved and jammed its rider against a
beam in the side wall. His leg was twisted
and both bones snapped above the ankle.
Upon discovering the identity of the in
jured man, the coolies bolted and left him
lying on the ground, where he suffered
greatly for half an hour. The broken bones
have been set, and after having passed a
good night, the general is in a cheerful
mood.
1t appears that Lord Kitchener had in
formed the members of his staff that he
was not going out for a ride but later
changed his plans. Hence he was alone
when the accident occurred.

ants of Almighty God that ever sat in
high places. When he stood on the rear
platform of the car that was about TO bear
him from his home TO the capital of the
Nation, he spoke to his people, acknowl-
edging his dependence on God, and asked
their prayers. And from that time on he
again and again declared his faith in d.
vine Providence. In 1862, in addressing
Presbyterian committee that had called on
him he said From the very beginning
on the. interposition of God Later he
said to a committee from Methodist con-
God bless all our churches.
The secretary ended his brief speech by
reading a short extract from what he
called meditation written by Lincoln in
September, 1852, which the speaker declared
showed the awful sincerity of the man.
The passage read was to the effect that
the writer trusted the issue OF the civil
conflict to God, realizing that il must pro-
gress according to the divine will and come
TO an end only at Gods decree.

MAY BE URGED TO ACCEPT.
Friends of the Late President Mchin-
ley Favor Senator Fairbanks.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE Tribune's Wash
ington correspondent says: Governor w.
T. Durbin of Indiana. was at the White
House to-day, and this naturally produced
a revival Of the previous gossip regarding
the second place on the Republican ticket.
There are those who believe the Indiana
Governor will be candidate with President
Roosevelt, but most of the Republican lead
ers here say the Governor is not likely to
figure in that capacity. On the contrary,
there are some men high in the councils
of the Republican party who say the nat
ural and logical candidate for the second
place is none other than Senator Fair
banks, of Indiana.
''It is said, on what authority remains to
be seen, that Senator Fairbanks is the
accepted candidate of the old Mckinley ele-
ment 1t is this element the close friends
of President Roosevelt are now most
anxious to conciliate. 1t is an open secret
that if Senator Hanna desires to do so. and
will consent to become chairman of the
national committee, he will be permitted to
name the candidate for Vice President
1.-The relations between Mr.. Hanna and
cordial and ii is believed by those who
have studied the situation that the Indiana
senator could be persuaded to take the
second place only on the theory that in so
doing he would be considered the repre-
sentative distinctly of the Mckinley ele-
ment of the party. In other words, ii is
probable Senator Fairbanks would not be
likely to be voluntary candidate for Vice
President, but, on the other hand, If he
were urged by such man as Senator
Hanna he would find il difficult, If not inn
possible, to refuse the office.
Before President Mckinley was shot it
was we'll understood that Senator Fair
banks would be an active candidate for the
Presidency. 1t was also understood the
senator would have the warm support or
the Mckinley administration, and that. so
far as such things are possible, he might
distinctive Mckinley strength. Friends of
the late President know he placed great
reliance In the integrity, loyalty and wise
conservatism of Senator Fairbanks.
During the trying days which preceded
the war with Spain, and during the period
following the war, when, the expansion
policy was being developed the tall figure
OF the Indiana senator was a familiar one
about the White House early in the morn
ing and most particularly late in the even
ing. when the really important conferences
were held.
that the nomination of Mr.. Fairbanks would
strengthen the President materially. In
the first place IL would attract TO him the
old Mckinley element. which Is still a
potent factor in the politics OF the West.
In the second place the recognized con-
servatism and stability OF Senator Fair
banks. his intimate association with the
large railroad and corporate interests and
his general political methods would be such
as to insure for him support among the
moneyed element. which is now suspicious
of President Rooseyelts administration"

AT the time of the organization of the

KARACHI, British India, Nov. 16.-The
viceroy, LORD Curzon and party, escorted
by four battleships, sailed to-day a
tour of the Persian gulf.
The expedition, commanded by Colonel
Younghusband, which is being prepared in
India to support the British mission to
Thibet, starts in a few days. 1t has been
ordered to occupy the Chumbi valley. the
key to Tibet and to advance on Gyangtse,
an important center, $50 miles from LhasSa.
The object of the mission is to discuss with
the Thibetan authorities their nonobserv-
ance of treaties and consequent injury to
the trade of India and Thibet. The Dalai
Lama treated the mission off-handedly and
sent subordinates, who refused to receive
the British unless the latter retired from
Khambajong into Indian territory. Colonel
Younghusband refused to do so, fortified
the camp occupied by the mission and then
himself returned to report to the viceroy.
The result is that the former has been
