HAD TO BE
 MIR. JEROME A New Republican COnVen-
 tiOR Tonight
Those Who Opposed the District At- torney's Denomination Took a SeCOSd Look at Conditions.

New York, Oct 26.-With only one dissenting voice, and acting under a legal opinion rendered by Jos. H. ChOate, the executive committee of the republican county committee late to- day decided to recOnvene the New York county convention tomorrow night in Murray Hill lyceum, the call for the convention carrying with it the recommendation that Wm. Travers Jerome be nominated as district attor- ney to fill the vacancy created yester- day by the resignation of Chas. A. Hammer, who, in retiring from the ticket, advised his followers to vote for Mr. Jerome.
 The committee, which almost unani- mously voted for MT. Jerome today, opposed his nomination by twenty seven votes to eight, when his name was suggested for the republican tick ct a few weeks ago. The conditions created by the campaign caused a change in sentiment among the repub- Hcan leaders, which eliminated last night in the withdrawal of MT. Flam- mer. and resulted today in the naming of MT. Jerome for the nomination by the county convention. tomorrow night
 No difficulty in carrying through the executive committees program at tomorrow nights convention is antic- ipated by the leaders.

GUT OFF BY FIRE
 EIGHT WERE LOST
A Fiery Tragedy Last Night at Hot
 Springs, Ark.

Hot Springs, Oct. 26.-A railroad mems hotel, located a block from the Iron Mountain railroad station on Elm street was destroyed by fire early this morning and when the fire was gotten under control, six badly charred bodies were found in the ruins. At the inquest this afternoon they were identified as follows:

be any occasion for cOnferring the rate making power on the interstate com merce commission, it is not, in his opinion to be found in the necessity for heading off and defeating any movement of populistic character under the direction of MT. Bryan, or any such political leader, as was sug- gested by Secretary Taft.
 The discriminations complained of, says Senator Foraker consist not only of discriminations between shippers and localities, but discriminatiOns be- tween commodities, in classification, by means of terminal charges, elevator charges, refrigerator charges, and many other kinds of charges and de- vices, too numerous to mention.
 This has been a most serious trou- ble," continues the senator. we un- dertook to deal with it when we passed the Elkins law. There is no reason whatever why, if any locality thinks it is discriminated against, or any ship per thinks he is discriminated against, application should not be forthwith made for relief, and relief secured, if the charge can be sustained, for the court is, by the statute, expressly in- vested with full Jurisdiction to enter tain the complaint and administer a complete remedy. The statute has been in force ever since the 18th day of February, 1903. If Secretary Taft, or anybody else, will tell me wherein this remedy is deficient, or tell me in what manner a better remedy can be provided by conferring the rate-mak- ing power on the interstate commerce commission, we shall have then reach ed the point where glittering general ties can then be dismissed, and intelli- gent discussion may commence"

MIR. FoRAKER's PLAN.

Senator Foraker Outlired the nature Of the change which he would make in the present law in the following: An swering Secretary Tafts suggestion that the burden of all litigation should be placed on the railroads, it is no hardship on the shipper or no direct benefit to him to require his proceed ing to be under this statute, as it is, and will be when amended, for because of the fact that there cannot be one change made without necessitating hundreds and perhaps thousands of others, every such proceeding would not be for the benefit of the complain Ing shipper alone, but for a whole com lnunity of shippers, hundreds and probably thousands. The proceeding would, therefore, in fact, be in the be- half of the public, and should be in the name of the government and at the expense Of the government, or the railroads. as the court may deem just and equitable, and in no case, at the expense of the shipper.
 These proceedings should be com iAiGilOCtA bS cA NO-Al kJAG%iA4l 4AAC0 NlAli lliS interstate commerce commission, which should conduct only preliminary investigations to the extent of deter mining whether or not there is prob able ground, and when that point is reached, the whole matter should be turned over to the authorities to be prosecuted, not before a special court, which I think it would be unwise to create, but before a circuit court of the United States having jurisdiction in the particular case. In this way these eases would be distributed through out the whole country, and be confined to a judicial system with which we are familiar and the working strength of which we can increase as found necessary by the appointment of new judges.

ton in his honor, which was far beyond his expectations or the expectations of the members of his party and said that the reception was the greatest that he had since he had started on his trip.
 REFERENCE TO FEVER FIGHT.
 The demonstration at luncheon was scarcely less eXuberant. When the president entered the superbly decorat- ed dining hall the banqueters rose as one man and gave way to frantic cheers. Every thought uttered was the signal for an extraordinary exhibition of enthusiasm and as his speech dealt almost entirely with local subjects and had special reference to the fight against yellow fever the banquet de- YeIOped into an increasing ovation.
 An immense crowd packed Gravier and St. Charles streets as the dinner ended, and the appearance of the pres ident on his way to the river provok- ed thunderous Ipplause. As the Mag nolia left her dock, a presidential sal ute was fired and the indescribable din of whistles of the factories and river craft mingled with the Iusty cheering of the throng of people who had col lected on the wharf.
 Nowhere did the president see the slightest evidence of any remnants of the fever. He saw on every hand inn mense gatherings of apparently happy and contented people, and it may req sonably be believed that he carried away with him the impression that, however, serious the visitation of the disease may have been. it is now lit tie more than a memory

PROPER RATEMAKERs.

Thus, we would leave the making of rates in the hands of skilled men, but subject to review upon complaint made by courts skilled in the weighing of testimony the analysis of facts, and the application of the law, and the same courts to which, by the proposed legislation or any other legislation that may be suggested, the controver- sy will have to be submitted, anyhow, at some stage of the proceeding; for we could not, if we so desired, take away from the parties to the controversy the right to submit their contentious to the courts for final adjudication"

THE ARRIVAL AT NEW ORLEANS.

Approaching New Orleans this morn ing, the presidents train stopped at Harapan, ten miles out of the city The presidents car was switched to the Belt line and taken to Stuyvesant docks, where the steamer Comus was waiting.
 On board the Comus were four hun dred of the leading men and women of the city, the reception committee, and committee on presidents entertain ment including Governor Blanchard, staff and State officials. The steamer COmus was taken for a trip along the water front. The president was shown points of interest along the great levee, going several miles up the river. Turn ing, he came down the west side of the river and inspected the immense float ing dock, the U. s. barracks, the fed eraI cemetery and other places, and then headed back to the city.

 ENTERPRISE BANK
The Only Hope Now is to Save Depos-

Pittsburg, Oct. 26.-It is not that the Enterprise National bank will ever reopen it's doors. Such is the opinion of many directors of whom it is said their main hope is to save the depositors as much as possible. The ! ooks of the institution are said to be in such a hopeless muddle that it may take many weeks to straighten them out.
 Collateral to the amount of $7OOOO, deposited py Arthur Kennedy, to se- cure a loan of S2O.OOO. is today miss ing. The fact that Cashier Clarke's last report to the comptroller of the currency showed only S15O,OOO of re- discounts while in one Pittsbur~ h01k $300,000 of such paper has been dis covered, is pointed to as an evidence of the cashiers peculiar financial methods

St. Petersburg Was All Day on the Verge
 of a Panic
Lessening of Terror at Nghtfa Without an Improve ment of Conditions Empire Entirely Cut off From the Rest of
 Continent

St. Petersburg, Oct. 26.-St. Peters burg was in a panic today, but to a large extent apparently withotu reason. The most alarming rumors were in circulation and the shopkeepers on all except a few of the streets boarded up their doors and windows, while peace ful minded inhabitants kept within doors. The anxiety was evidenced in the atmosphere of the whole city, but so far nothing has occurred to justify these fears. There were no disorders.
 General Trepoff, who has been placed in command of the St Peters burg garrison and given an additional division of endorsements, declares he is amply able to maintain order, and the police are allowing the strikers to vent their enthusiasm, so as to avoid a conflict.
 By the greatest exertions the gov ernment today succeeded in movIng trains manned by military operatives on few railroads. Traffic was re- sumed irregularly on the Moscow & St Petersburg railroad, and on the lines from Moscow to Brest and Kazan A scanty supply of milk, butter and eggs is arriving in St. Petersburg over. the Finland railroad. The situation. however, cannot be regarded as much improved. The most encouraging fea- ture is the absence of any widespread disorder
 THE DAYS ALARM.

PRESIDENTS PLAN
 DIVIDED THE BODY
The Chicago Interstate Commerce
 Convention Split in I've.

Chicago, Oct 26.-Refusing to stand for President Roosevelt's policy for the regulation of railroad rates. a large number of delegates to the interstate commerce law convention were barred from the convention of that organi- zation today, and the committee held a separate meeting to give their ideas on the subject The original conveu- tion was held in Steinway hall. while the anti convention met in Stude- baker hall, several blocks distant.
 Aware of alleged attempts to thwart the purpose of the convention. the deI- egates at Steinway 1lau reused to ad- init delegates, although properly ac- credited. unless they would agree Co support the presidents rate plan These delegates objected to the pro ceedure, demanding they be given the right Of free speech, while the Opposl- uon charged they were sent by rau- roads and other alleged unfair inter ests to pack the convention
 A number of exciting scenes followed before the meetings were called 10 or der in the conventions of both sides The number of delegates at each con vention was about equal. ranging be- tween 400 and 500. Speeches. organiza- tions and resolutions including one which was presented in the StudebalSer hall convention, asking the president to settle the dispute as to which was the regular convention. but upon which no action was taken, occupied the time of the first meetings. The convention win continue tomorrow. when resolutions will be adopted by the Steinway hall convention in favor of the presidents recommendations.

 NINE HOURS
For Both New Orleans and
 President Roosevelt
The Crescent City's Reception, the Warmest and Widest. The Return Journey Began Last Night.

! New Orleans. Oct. 26.-At the end of
 nine strenuous hours of varied enter tainment in New Orleans. which brought his exceptionally pleasant trip through the south to a close. President Roosevelt at 6:3O o'clock boarded the ] light house tender Magnolia and be- gan the first stage of his return jour ney to the national capital. No news paper reporters accompanied him and
 he will be out of touch with the world throughout the night, but daylight to- morrow is expected to bring news of his successful transfer to the armor- ed cruiser West Virginia, which lies at anchor off the mouth of the river to receive him, and of the beginning of the second stage of the journey. For four days he will be absent from Amer ican soil, which has never heretofore happened to a president during his in- cumbency, but through means of wire less talegraphy it is promised that he will be seldom out of touch with the shore.
 NEW ORLEANS REMEMBERED.
 The presidents New Orleans recep- tion was a signal testimonial of popu- lar esteem and of grateful recognition of the service which he has rendered the city in her period of stress. New Orleans today remembered not only that the president had acted with char acteristic prOmptness when asked to send federal surgeons to take charge of the fever struggle, but throughout the fight, he sustained the people of the stricken city with expressions of un- failing sympathy and, when a large share of the public opinion of the coun- try opposed his ventUring into New Or leans with the fever still prevailing he refused to consider the element of per sonaI danger.
 The densely crowded streets, the ella borate decorations, the wild applause that greeted him along the whole route of the parade, the enthusiasm with which his address to the multitude in Lafayette square was received and the remarkable demonstration in his honor at the luncheon, were outward manifestations of the spirit in which the people welcomed him here
 AN ABANDONED SPEECH.
 Probably for the first time in his public career, the president was com pelled to abandon a public address be- fore he had got well started on it. Ii was contemplated that the military and civic parade should pass in review be- fore the president at the city hall. but the crowd which gathered at this point was so tremendous that neither the po- lice nor troops were able to move it. and the president foreseeing a possible catastrophe in the event of a panic finally gave up the attempt to speak and left the platform. The crowd jaInmed St. Charles street and Proper ty line all the way to Ninth street. Over 50,O00 people were gathered in and around the stand from which the president was to have delivered his address.
 When the president decided to aban- don his effort, he shouted to the throng to go home and be good citizens and then disappeared into the mayors par lors, we'll nigh exhausted. To those about him, he expressed himself as inn mensely pleased with the demonstra-

years of anything like such import ance, excepting the free silver ques- tion." He then takes issue with the assumption that those who do not agree with the remedy proposed by Secretary Taft are opposed to any remedy what ever.
 ''So far as am aware says 5ena- tor Foraker, it is universally admit ted that in the past many evil prac- tices have obtained, and that some of them still obtain; that none of them should be allowed to continue; that an efficient and expeditions remedy should be provided against all of them, in so far as legislation can provide. The sole difference of opinion is as to whether conferring the rate-making power on the interstate commerce commission is the only or even a. necessary remedy. My contention is that it is not neces- sary, and that Of all remedies that have been suggested, it is unqualified ly the worst"
