Visit to the Lincoln Monument.
At the arsenal the military escort
was abandoned and the carriages drove
rapidly to the national Lincoln monu-
ment, where the president addressed
the National Lincoln-McKinley Veteran
Voters association. which had assem-
bled there for its annual memorial eX-
ercises. In front of the monument
We're grouped members of the asso-
citation and a company of the Eighth
infantry, L. y. G., cOlored. The pres
ident was introduced by Senator Gull
lom. and spoke very briefly, his most
significant saying being:
Equal Rights for All.
''Let me say one word: it seems to
me eminently fitting that the guard
around the tomb of Lincoln should be
composed of colored soldiers. 1t was
my own good fortune at Santiago to
serve beside colored troops. A man
who is good enough to shed his blood
for his country is good enough to be
n Oft
than that no man is entitled to, and
less than that no man shall have"
Dedication OF the Arsenal.
The presidents party then drove
back to the arsenal, where the dedi-
cation exercises took place, and where
about 10000 persons were assembled
in the great hall. Secretary of State
Rose called the assemblage to order
and introduced Governor Yates as
chairman of the day. GovernN' Yates
paid a tribute to President Roosevelt
as a soldier. police commissioner, gov
ernor and president, and introduced
Senator Cullom, who received a great
ovation. Cullom referred to Roosevelt
as the present president and one whom
he did not know how many times he
posed three cheers for the president,
which were given. President Roose-
yelt received a hearty ovation on b.
ing introduced. He spoke twenty-five
minutes. His speech was a eulogy of
Lincoln and an appeal for good gov
ernment.
Luncheon with Governor Yates.
The president then went to luncheon
at the executive mansion. Those who
sat down at the governors table COM

The man OF today, no matter what his
calling, needs q sharp brain, and to get

years ago had not been able to study or

FAILING TOWER KILLS FOUL
Wind Blows uJ5.Foot Structure Into New
ark bay.

A big wooden tower, supporting two
immense derricks, which was to be used in
building the new drawbridge Of the Central
Railroad OF New Jersey over Newark Bay,
was struck by the windstorm yesterday
afternoon and blown over into the bay.
Four iron workers, who failed to get down
before the wind toppled the structure
over, appear TO have been drowned. and
two injured men were fshed out Of the
water by their companions.
The big structure went over into the bay
with a crash that was heard in Bayonne.
and at first 1t was feared that great loss OF
life had been caused. When a count OF the
men was made, however, It was seen that
only four were missing. They were seen
on the structure as it went over and their
bodies were not recovered. They were
Charles Tingley Of 200 Webster avenue,
Jersey City John J. Conlin Of 800 Warren
street, Jersey City; John McFawn of Avenue
A, Bayonne, and Otto Ellison OF New York

The injured were David Murphy, who
received a broken wrist and cuts on head
and body, and was removed to Bayonne
Hospital, and Gustav Fischer. who was

ening to spread to the adjoining buildings.
Not in a long time have the f1remen had
such a difficult fire to handle. Between
the heavy smoke and the suffocating fumes
of the burning whiskeys, hundreds of bar
rels of which were destroyed, it was next
to impossible to get in the building with
lines Of hose.
The flremen were hampered. too, by the
panic, which seemed to spread over the
entire neighborhood. Men and women
rushed from the burning building and from
those near by in the widest excitement,
and it was with difficulty that the police
handled them. Fortunately no one was
hurt, although the jam on the stairways
of some OF the nearby buildings was ter
rife, men and women fighting each other
fercely to get to the street first.
No downtown fire in recent years has
caused such a curtain OF smoke to cloud
the sky, and this fact led to an investigation
IN find out the exact cause of the fire. The
invest ination had not been concluded at a
late hour last night. The police and the
flremen agreed that the burning whiskey
| could not make such a smoke, and that
there was nothing in the Kaufman estab-
lishrnent used in the ordinary business OF
the place that would do 1t.
The heavy smoke was what might have
been expected from a burning mass OF
rags. Mr.. Kaufman had not put in an
appearance at the fire up to midnight,
and It was impossible to learn whether
there had been rags in his place or not.
No trains were run on the Sixth avenue
elevated railroad below Grand street from
S o clock until almost 0, and during the
same period the Sixth and Eighth avenue
surface cars were unable to run below

Nine men employed on the upper floor Of

with the service between here and Chicago
and other Western points. Some mes
sages from that part Of the country had to
be sent around by places as far south as
Atlanta. Western Union wires were also
these were repaired without much trouble.
=, MOST OF the trouble was attributed oy
Che Western Union officers TO the blowing
out OF the fuses due to the lightning flashes
rather than to the force Of the wind.
Postal wires suffered most up the state
and IN Pennsylvania, though the wires to
Providence worked only at intervals dur
ing the early part of the night and few
messages came through direct from there
up to midnight.
STIR IN OPEN ELEVATED CARS.
As to the wind force, probably nobody
got much better idea OF that than people
who happened to be riding on the high
structure OF the Fifth avenue elevated
line in South Brooklyn when the gale struck
that section. The storm hit one train
bound to New York just as 1t reached the
which had run from the Brook YIN baseball
grounds. There were several open cars
on the train, and when the wind rushed
upon 1t there was a small panic In each
open car. Hats went kiting through the
car, several going out OF the windows.
One, woman's hair was ripped out OF ITS
combs and pins and futtered around her
head. Womens skirts played all sorts
Of pranks in the gale.
There was an immediate rush for the
closed cars, and then everybody looked
out Of the windows at the racing clouds
and cooled down as much as the stuf1y
cars permitted.
COMFY ISLAND GOT IT BADLY. TOO.
Coney Island pronounced it the heaviest
gale that ever struck the island as the

For an hour after the storm passed vendors
and pedlers were gathering their wares
from distant parts Of the beaches The
windstorm lasted only about fifteen min
utes, the rain only about five, and 1t was
not heavy enough to lay the dust. No

No one on the second floor of the burned
building knew just how the fire started. A
blaze suddenly appeared In lot of scrap
paper and celluloid In the rear and spread
so rapidly that it could not be stamped out.
The flame spread TO the upper floors, where
there were large quantities of whiskey in
barrels and tanks. Three alarms we're
turned In.
The smoke and the noise OF arriving en-
gines created scare among the many ten
ants in the big Wool Exchange Building,
adjoining the warehouse. There was a
rush of tenants and employees to the ground
floor but fortunately no one was hurt.
The warehouse Ia L shaped and has

is a cigarette factory, in which sixty girls

in great excitement. Policemen saved
many from being hurt by quickly clearing

The burning whiskey made picturesque

were overcome by the smoke and the fumes
of burning whiskey. The building was
totally destroyed, the fifth and sixth
