Made It's Way Through When Wires
Were Down and Railroads
Were Tied UP.

The furious rainstorm that swept
over the eastern states in the early
part of last October ragged during the
first four days of the automobile en-
durance run from New York to Pitts
burg. When the vanguard of the con
testing machines having struggled
through tremendous hardships, reached
Bath, N. Y, on the third day, the
newspaper men hurried to the tele-
graph Office with their reports. To
their dismay they found that the wires
were down, and that any messages
would have to be sent from Corning.

when is the next train for Corning
due?" the operator was asked.

been washed away. You can't get a
horse. No farmer would stir out on a
day like this"

"Only the automobiles" was the re-
ply.
A car was soon blowing its way
through the mud to Corning. The
value of the American automobile for
hard, practical service had been proved.

pust and John Kaluzny was discon-
tinued.

LoNDoN's SOCIAL CHANGES.
Have Been Such as to Effect a Trans
formation, But Not Altogether
for the Better.

Onesis constantly hearing jerenlade
about the condition of society at the
present day, about it's immortality, its
extravaganza, it's vulgarity and all the
other sins in either the social or the
religious calendar, says a writer in Lon
don M. A. p. l do think that thsre has
been a growth of extravaganza in living
in London during the last decade or TWO
which has its dangers. AS an old Lon
doner of "a years standing have seen
changes in the manners of the city which
amount to a complete transformation.
/ remember well the time when there
wasn't really a good restaurant In all
London and when men had TO be con-
tent with dining and supping in the
back paFlors of public houses. You got
very good food in those dark, low-ceil-
inged, stuffy rooms, and | remember
when you were considered to be doing
very well when you handed the some
what time-worn and ill-clad waiter two
pence or th~ree-pence as a tip.
Nowadays you go into a restaurant
which is palatial, and you see men
especially if they belong to the Stock
Exchange-giving huge tips that in
olden times would have paid the price of
a whole dinner for half a dozen friends.
And the tipping never seems to end. You
tip one waiter for one thing and anoth-
er for another, and you tip the carver
and then you tip the man who gives YOU
your wine, and as you are leaving you
tip the porter who puts on your coat
and the other porter who calls your cab.
1t is, in fact, becoming almost impossi-
BILE for men of moderate means to go to
most Of the restaurants of to-day.
Society has been transformed-and
not altogether for the better-by two
things that have been going on together.
,Fhe first is the impoyerishment of the
one great class and the other the en-
richment of another. There is not so
pitiful or helpless a being in the world
as the English aristocrat who has fallen
on evil days, and countless numbers Of
them arei in that position. The reduction
of rents to a half or a third of what they
once were is not accompanied by the
pOnSl " dDIliGOA illAsO uiAQ al
country seats and town houses and
armies of servants and all the other
things which appertain to an ancient
family.
Thus there comes that economical
problem, which IS quite the anne in es-
| sence, whether it deals with large sums
or small, whether the people who are
assailed are splendid paupers in Bel
| grayia or gordid paupers in Whitechapel.
| Side by side with this impoverishment
of a section Of the upper classes there
are the gigantic fortunes which have
been made in the course Of a few years,
especially in south Africa and western
| Australia, and it is this combination
I which is accountable for some of the
| evils Of our time. ,,.-a

EAST CLINGS TO
CLEVELAND IDOL
Stampede to Former President Is
Planned for st. Louis Con-

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, June 11.-Walter Wellman
in a New York special to the Record
Herald says:
That a great effort is to be made to
stampede the St. Louis convention into
the nomination Of former President
Cleveland is the understanding of most
politicians and financiers In the east.
Nearly every important man one
meets in this city, whether he be
prominent in politics or in corpora
tons or banking, and therefore more
or less in touch with politicians and
politics, expresses an opinion Of which
the following is fair sample:
II think Judge Parker will be the
nominee of the st. Louis convention,
provided the plan to bring Grover
Cleveland forward and rush him thru
does not win"
The widespread opinion that Mr..
| Clevelands nomination Is POSSIBLE
| ity, and many think 1t a probability,
lures Of political discussion in the east.
| I have heard so much of 1T that l
tried to learn where and with whom
the movement to name Mr.. Cleveland
! was to start and who was to put his
! shoulder to the wheel of the cart and
push it along.
Here appears another peculiar fea-
| tol z VI VIC 6OSslp VI IilC AAOuA " AAANii
| one hears on all sides. No one is able
to answer that question. No one
knows who is going to start the ball
rolling. No one knows where the votes
are coming from to nominate the for
| mer president. No one in control OF
votes appears to have the Cleveland
boom in charge, and yet everyone, OF
nearly everyone, is looking with con.
fidence to see such an effort made ir
the convention, somehow, by some.
body.
Some of these men with whom
have talked think Cleveland's nomin
alton Is possibility. Others go lit
tie farther and express the opinion
that it Is a probability. This is par
ticularly true among bankers ant
financial people with whom obviousl.
the wish Is father to the thought.
Politicians and men who know tn
political game do not know how tn
Cleveland business can be made t.
work, and are skeptical as to the prac
ticability Of giving the effort to nom
mate the ex-president a fair start a
st. Louis.
In the absence Of another evidenc
of the existence of real persons wit
actual votes behind the Clevelan
talk one is compelled to adopt the lat
t ter view. About Cleveland there Is n
end of talk, but all the probabilitie
are 1t will remain talk and nothing Blu
. talk to the end.

POP LEADER FOR ROOSEVELT

Former Senator Marion Butler Says
President Is Sure of Reelection.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, June 11.-Former SEN
ator Marion Butler, chairman of the
national committee Of the populist
party since 1896, says the political
jig is up and that Roosevelt will win
the next election hands down.
President Roosevelt will be elect
ed without any trouble whatever"
said Mr.. Butler to-day. 'He is the
peoples choice, because they believe
him to be honest and beyond the
reach Of corrupt influence Of the
trusts and the mill1onaires who have
been in control of the republican
party for years. His. strong, sturdy
Americanism commends him to re-
publicans, democrats and populists
alike and many of the members of
the democratic and peoples party
will vote for him. I have been travel
ing in the west and south lately, and
learned the sentiment of men in my
party and the democratic party from
personal conversation with them
Discussing democratic possibilities
Mr.. Butler said that the st. Louis con-
vention will not nominate German.
The Marylander, he said, is not the
strong, shrewd political leader he
was four and eight years ago, but has
recently adopted the method of criti-
cism Of the majority party, and has
lost prestige with the democratic
workers on that account. Mr.. But
Ter also said he believed if the gold
bug wing of the democratic party
controlled affairs at St. Louis, sue
ceeded in nominating a man of their
own belief, and adopted a platform In
which silver was not mentioned, Bry-
an would bolt, because the elimina-
ton of the silver issue would mean
the elimination of Bryan from public
| life.

JAPs HAVE KEY POSITION
Important Strategic Points Taken by
General KurolSi's Forces.

General AurOKIS FOrCeS.
New York Sun Special Service.
Toxic, June 11.-General Yan1a-
guchi announces that since Tuesday
four columns of the first army corps
had advanced on the road toward Hal
cheng and Liao-yang. The first col
umn moving on Liao-yang engaged
the Russians on Tuesday evening at
Lian-shan, and the northerly column
defeated q strong force on Wednesday
at Sen-suila, fifteen miles northwest
of Sa-ma-ja.
The most significant engagement
was northwest of Siu-yen, twenty-five
miles from Hai-cheng. The Japanese
force defeated a Russian force Of
1000 cavalry, six battalions of infan-
try and an artillery force Of six guns,
driving the Russia MS in two divisions
one west to Kai-ping and the other
northwest toward Hai-cheng.
100, the japanese losing three killed
with two officers and twenty-eight
men wounded. A number Of Russian
officers were captured.
The town of Siu-yen, now occupied
by the Japanese army, is of great
strategetical Importance being stu
ated about forty miles northeast OF
Kai-ping and forty-fve miles south
east of Hai-cheng. 1t commands per-
fectly the roads to both places.
Saimatsza is also an important
point, as it controls the roads to Lao
yang and Mukden. By following this
route the Miao-tin-ling pass, a strong.
~ fortified and almost impregnable
Russian stronghold, will be avoided or
the advance of the Japanese army
northward.
Official reports show uniform Jap.
anese success, but their casualties are
larger than in former operations.

SEWER EXPLOSION

Chicago. June 11.-By an explosion
to-day in huge sewer being construct
ed along Thirty-ninth street, four men
were killed, manholes were blown up
for many blocks, the street is badly
torn, and a frame building demolished.
An accumulation Of sewer gas appar-
emily caused the explosion.
Three workmen, accompanied by
City Engineer Guy Miltimore, who
carried a gasolene torch, were going
down into the sewer when they en-
countered sewer gas and the explosion
followed. All four men were killed
and their bodies were entombed.
In addition to sewer gas 1t Is
thought possible that petroleum had
leaked into the sewer, as FOR fifteen
minutes after the explosion fire burned
fiercely. 1t was two hours before a
serious attempt could be made to res
cue the bodies.
