NEW YORK, Oct. p. = Governor
Douglas will call upon President

cording to- dispatch to the Herald
from Boston.
Reports were current last week that
the Central Leather company pro.
posed to advance the price of sole
leather. The statements caused con.
stern alton among the great boot and
shoe manufacturers OF New England,
who have been paying high record
prices for months for their raw ma.
terial. So great was the wave of op-
position among the shoe makers to
the contemplated advance in leather
prices that the Central company post.
poned-or at least did not announce
the price advanced.

ment was made by the police depart
ment last night that the re.canvass Of
twenty-five of the forty.two wards OF
the city showed that Ii, 1861 names were

about S25, 200, 900, says The Times.
This order exceeds that placed last

ing shortly after midnight. Both yes.

was hurt. As soon as the Magnolia
was grounded, the president and his
party was transferred to the revenue
cutter Ivy, on which they proceeded to
the river mouth where the cruiser West
Virginia was in waiting.
The entire country was startled by
the news this morning and for hours
It was practically impossible to learn

NEW CLEANS, Oct. 26.-At the end

tertainment in New Orleans which
brought his exceptionally pleasant
trip through the south to a close,
President Roosevelt, at $3.50 to-
night, boarded the lighthouse ten.

The presidents New Orleans recep.
ton was a signal testimonial of popu.
lar esteem and Of grateful recognition
of the services which he has rendered
the city in her period of stress. New
Orleans today remembered not only
that the president had acted with
Characteristic 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. The densely crowd.
ed streets, the elaborate ecorations,
the wild applause that greeted him
along the whole route OF the parade,
the enthusiasm withswhich his address
to the multitude was received and the
rem arkable demonstr ations in his
honor at the luncheon, were outward
manifestations of the spirit In which
the people welcomed him.
Probably for the fret time in his
public career the president was COM
PEELED to abandon q public address

was contemplated that the military
and civic parade should pass in re-
view before the president at city hall.
but the crowd which gathered at this
point was 80 tremendous that neither
the police nor the troops were able to
move it, and the president, foreseeing
q possible catastrophe in the event Of
panic, finally gave up the attempt to
speak and left the platform.

dure, demanding they be given the
right to free speech, while the opposi.

terests to pack the convention. A
number OF exciting scenes followed be.
