President Roosevelt lnterfereS in Contention Over Orphans
 at Clifton
ORDERS ORPHANS RETURNED
The United States Marshal to Be Di- rected to Recover the Foundlings From White Custodiaus and Re-
 turn them to Catholic Authorities

A special to the Bisbee Miner from Washington D. C., dated October 29, says
 "The United States attorney gem eral has been instructed by PreSt. Theodore Roosevelt to direct the gov ernor of Arizona, Alexander 0. Bro die, to recover the children who were taken from the Sisters of Charity at Clifton a few weeks ago. The goyer- nor is to be directed to place the war rants in the hands of the United States marshal for ArIzona, for imme. diate execution. The Sisters of Char ity of the New York asylum have ap- piled to the Sisters of Charity in Fl PaSo to receive these children when delivered to them by the governor of Arizona, and to keep them until such time as the Sisters of Charity of the New York asylum can come for them, which will be as soon as possible.
 This measure was made imperative by the necessity of remedying for the allotment by the mob of number of those orphans to unqualified cuSto- dianS. A girl was given to divorced man: another to a salOOnkeeper and gambler; a local carpenter and his wife, both MormOns, obtained little girl, while another was assigned to notorious saloonkeeper and gambler in Clifton. At least three children have been passed from hand to hand since the moo allotted them, the for mer custOdians having decided they did not want them.
 Regarding the Saloonkeepers and gamblers who secured the children the places were found upon inspection to be the lowest kind of resorts ire. quented by Negro, Mexican and white pros titutes in the employ of the pro prietOrs. A travelling salesman of Texas was in Clifton Oct. l3 and saw one of the little girls seated on a saloon bar playing with the inmates. These facts presented to the president has resulted in the instructions given the United States attorney general, who has directed Governor Brodie to at once take the necessary steps to have the children returned t0 the care of the Sisters of Charity at Ei PasO.

 An increase of l,O00,O0O in the vote would be something winch the polit- ical captains would consider it well worth while to take into account, Four years ago McKinleys plurality over Bryan was $40, 79O, but in eleven states which will have fifty votes in the electoral college this year the sum of republican pluraliteS was only l2l, ,293, more than 700. 900 of the total pluralities having been contributed by the seventeen other states which were carried by the republicans. In these eleven states material increase in the popular vote might work consider able change in the complexion of the electoral college.
 The ratio of votes to population is usually considered to be about l to ,, which, if correct, would make II, 500,- 900 fairly accurate guess as to the total of 1904.

THE POPULAR VOTE
Some Influences That Will Cause a
 Reduction of the Total

The total vote that will he polled in the United States November is com ing in for the usual amount of specu- lation and conjecture. The general es. timate is that it will reach l5, 900, 900, which would mean an increase of lit- tie more than 1000, ,000 over that of 1900. This is hardly warranted, how ever, in view of the increase of only 3S, lS3 in the 1900 vote over that of 1896, nor by the noticeable lack of pub lie interest in the present campaign in many of the states.
 There are believed to be in the neighborhood of l7,0O0,000 persons qualified to vote for president of the United States, and it is probable that at least l5 per cent of these will stay

City'S Executive Comes to Indian
apolis To-Day Upon Peculiar
Mission for Fellow-Citizens.
NO WATER PROTECTION

To afford partial relief to the dangerous
situation confronting Evansville, which is
practically without fire protection because
of accidents to it's water works plant,
Mayor Covert, of that city, will be in In
dianapolis this morning TO appeal to the
city authorities for the loan of a fire en-
gine.
The Board of Public Safety will be sum-
moned in special session by messengers, and
this board, with Fire Chief Coots and Mayor
Hoffman. Will hear Mayor Covert's appeal
for aid.
That the city officials will reply to this
appeal by sending one of the,,fire depart
ment's engines to Evansville there is no
doubt. The case is considered one of such
urgency that there would be no other course
to pursue. Mayor Holtzman, in speaking
of the matter last evening, said:
Common humanity demands that we do
all in our power to relieve Evansville in
this crisis They without fire protec-
ton and need help. l have no doubt that
the Board of Public Safety will answer
Mayor Coverts appeal by sending one of our
fire engines Immediately to his city,"
The situation at Evansville is critical
During recent high water the large intake
pipe OF the water works burst and the eS-
Gaping water gradually undermined the
foundation of the building, causing it to
sink so far to put the machinery and
the pumps entirely out of use For its
water power the city can now only rely on
old water works plant and a pumping
boat, whose combined capacity is 2,5c0000
gallons daily, whereas the city needs for
it's daily use not less than 10000 900 gallons.
Affairs such a state that people in
offices and residences alike are deprived of
all city water above the first floors. as the
pressure in the pipes is not sufficient to
force the water higher. In the event of a
big fire the danger would be incalculable.

since the great fire there was dynamitng
in the burned district to-day, Mayor Nc
Lare having decided that ii should be a
day of much-needed rest for the workers.
Thanksgiving services were held in many
OF the churches to-day.
The condition of traffic on the Chesapeake
bay, which is worse than ii has been for
years account of the long-continued cold
weather. is a subject Of grave concern to
the merchants and shippers of Baltimore.
Neither yesterday nor to-day has a single
bay steamer ventured from its moorings
here the ice foes rendering navigation ex-
ceedingly dangerous, If not impracticable.
This condition has resulted in a serious
congestion of freight. which must continue
to grow worse until the ice packs that ex-
tend 80 miles down the bay break up.
The military guard duty around and
in the ruins has been reduced from 1900 to
500 men.
