PRESIDENTS FAREWELL.
RoseveIt's Visit to New Orleans
Brings His Pleasant Trip Through
the South to an End.

At the end of nine strenuous hours
of varied entertainment in New Or
leans, which brought his exceptionally
pleasant trip through the south to
close, President Roosevelt, at $50
6'clock Thursday night, bearded the
lighthouse tender Magnolia and later
went aboard the armored cruiser West
Virginia, which lay at anchor off the
mouth of the river to receive him.
For four days he will be absent from
American soil, which has never here
tofore happened to a president during
his incumbency, but through the
means of wireless -telegraphy 1t is
promised that he will be seldom out
of communication with the shore, and
there is no reason to doubt that the
stauneh vessel in which he is to
travel will carry him safely to his
journeys end-the national capital.

ception was a signal testimonial of

rendered the city in her period Of
stress. New Orleans remembered not
only that the president had acted with
characteristic promptness when asked
to put the federal surgeons in charge
Of the fever struggle, but that
throughout the fight he had sustained
the people of the stricken city witt
expressions of unfailing sympathy, and
when q large share of the public opsn-
ion OF the country opposed his ven
turing into New Orleans with the fe-
yer still prevalent, he refused to con
slider the element of personal danger
and declared his purpose to keep the
promise he made when he accep ed
the original invitation.
Probably for the first time in his
public career the president was com
PEELED to abandon public address
before he had got well started on it..
1t was contemplated that the military
and civic parade should pass in re-
view before the president at the city
hail. but the crowd which gathered
at this point was SO tremendous that
neither the police nor the troops were
able to move t., and the president,
foreseeing possible catastrophe, in
the event Of a ~pahie, finally gave up
the attempt~to speak and left the
platform.
When he decided to abandon his ef-
fort he shouted to the throng to go
home and be good citizens, and then
disappeared into the mayors parlors,
well nigh exhausted. To those about
him he expressed himself as immense
ly pleased with the demonstration in
his honor.
The climax of the days entertain
ment was the luncheon, which started
shortly after o'clock, and was pro-
longed fifteen minutes beyond the
time set for it, as result of the
continuous ovation given to the pres
ident.

Cars Troops Given Orders
to Shoot to Kill.
WILD REIGN OF TERROR
Strikers ciese Electric Plants and st.
Petersburg is In Darkness.
Rebellion Spreads Rapidly.
Through Empire.

St. Peterburg was in total dark
ness Friday night, the strikers hav-
ing during the afternoon stopped the
machinery of the electric light plant
The last link of the railroads bind
ing the capital with the outer world

that the cable operators may be conf.
PEELED to join general strike of teleg-
raphers.
General Trepoff, who is practical
" dictator, has ordered the troops
to shoot to kill should demonstra-
ton be made.
The most alarming reports are cif-
culating about affairs in the south OF
Russia. Private reports received in
ST. Petersburg are said to confirm the
stories of the mutiny on board the bat
tleship Catherine II; and the destrue-
ton by incendiaries of the battleship
Patelimon, formerly Kniaz Potemkine.
In the interior of Russia the people
have neither mail nor newspapers
and are the prey to the widest sto-
ries Of what is occurring. In some
towns a reign OF terror is reported
to exist.
That the present situation cannot
end without bloodshed is the convic.
tion prevailing in the higher govern
ment circles, which from moment to
moment are expecting conflict be-
tween the troops and the revolutions
lists in st. Petersburg, and news of
trouble in the provinces, especially at
kharkoff, which has been declared in
a state OF war.
The governor OF Kieff has been in
structed to take all necessary meas
ures to restore order, which the local
government and the commander of
the troops are unable to maintain.
One of the most prominent members
of the emperor's council said with
every evidence of deep emotion:
"The situation is a grievous and a
painful one, and see no way out
of it, except by the employment OF
armed force. Please do not misunder-
stand me. I look upon the prospect
with tears, but it is becoming more
and more evident that the troops will
be compelled to fire. / can see mo
other possible outcome The fevol,i-
tionists and terrorists are absolutely
bent on forcing conflict upon us,
and nothing we can do will satisfy
them. The extension of the suffrage
and the right of assembly will be
nothing to them. They are deter
mined to have bloodshed, and we can
not avoid the issue. 1t is a frightful
disease from which Russia is suffer
ing, and sad and painful as 1t is the
government must act with force"
A Warsaw special says: The gov
erncr general has ordered the troops
to shoot every agitator caught armed:
At Lodz the governor has ordered
the officers in the event of disturb
ances to act without mercy.

THIRTEEN DIE IN WRECK.
Fast California Limited Flies TRACK
Causing Death and Disaster.

Fast California Limited Flies Track
Causing Death and Disaster.
At least thirteen persons were kill
ed and twenty-five others injured on
Monday morning in the werck of one
of the fastest regular trains on the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail
road. California Limited No. /, which
left Chicago at 10 O'Clock Sunday
night for the west. The train was
ditched one mile east of Sheffield,
Mo-. six miles from the business cen
ter of Kansas City.
The wreck occurred in cut while
the train was running at the rate
of 80 miles an hour, and was caused
by loose rail.
The train consisted of one mail car,
one baggage car, one coach, one chair
car, four tourist sleeping cars, two
standard Pullmans and one dining
car. The passenger list was composed
largely of colonization tourists.
Nearly all the sleeping cars remain
ed on the track, and the forward cars
bore the brunt of the shock. None
of the passengers in the sleeping cars
were hurt. The day coach in front
of the chair car furnished the great
est number of killed and injured. The
great natural wall of rough stone into
which the cars were thrown, tore the
sides of the day coaches, and passeI
gers were grounded against the wall
and either killed or badly injured.
H. G.. Rust, engineer Of the wreck
ed train, and his fireman, william
DeLong, escaped injury. The locomo
tive leaped from the rails and ran 300
feet on the ties, finally stopping up
right. The locomotive was going so
rapidly that it passed the rail in safe
ty. The mail car Immediately be-
hind jumped the track and struck the
side of the bluff, and the four cars fol-
lowing plowed through the wreckage
and shot against the high stone wall.
