learn that Newbro's Herpicide has been
placed upon the market. This is the new

by destroying the germ or microbe that

PRESIDENTS FAREWELL.
Eoseve,t'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 $3.50
O'Clock Thursday night, boarded the
lighthouse tender Magnolia and later
went aboard the armored cruiser West
Virginia. which lay at anchor OF 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 q 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
staunch vessel in which he is to
travel will carry him safely to his
Journeys end-the national capital.
The presidents New Orleans re
ception was a signal testimonial OF
popular esteem and of grateful recog-
nition Of the service which he hal
rendered the city in her period OF
stress. New Orleans remembered not
only that the president had acted with
characteristic promptness when asked
&c put the federal surgeons In charge
of the fever struggle, but, that
throughout the fight he had sustained
the people of the stricken city with
expressions of unfaiiing sympathy, and
when a large share of the public opin-
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 accepted
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 we'll started on it.
It was contemplated that the military
and civic parade should pass in re-
view before the president at the city
hall, but the crowd which gathered
at this point was so tremendous that
neither the police nor the troops were
able to move it, and the president,
foreseeing a possible catastrophe, IL
the event Of a panic, finally gave up
the attempt to speak and left the
platform.
When he decided to abandon his e.
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 3 o'clock, and was pro-
longed fifteen minutes beyond the
time set for it, as a result Of the
continuous ovation given to the pres
ident.

"A total OF 4,940,72S bales OF cotton
gipned in the United States up to Oc-
tober 1S IS the statement announced
in a. bulletin issued by the census
bureau at Washington Wednesday. IN
this calculation, round bales are coun-
ted as half bales, and the figures CIV
en-: in the bulletin are based on re-
ports made by the bureaus special
agents in the field.
%SNo estimate is made of the total
crop for the year, but figures are
given out concerning crops OF former
years. These figures show that up TO
this date in 1904 the product OF the
gins had reached a total Of 6,4l7,'
,8a4 bales, out of a total OF 1S,693,'

was 10,s27,1sS; and the amount 10
Oct. 25 was 5,6s3,0O6. Wednesdays re-
port covered 26.364 ginneries, and the
statements upon which it was prefar-
ed were supplied by telegraph by 7oz
special agents in the field, most u
them representing one county each.
The fact that the bulletin was mol
issued until O'Clock, two hours al

The most alarming reports are cir

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 destruc-
ton by incendiaries Of the battleshlp
Patelimon, formerly Kniaz Potemklne.
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-
ton prevailing in the higher govern

moment are expecting conflict be.

lists in St. Petersburg, and news OF
trouble in the provinces, especially at

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 I 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 i. is becoming more
and more evident that the troops will
BE compelled to fire. I can see no
other possible outcome. The revolu'
tionists and terrorists are absolutely
bent on forcing a 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
rot avoid the issue. 1t is a frigh1ul
disease from which Russia is suffer

government must act with force"
A Warsaw special says: The gov
ernor general has ordered the troops

The first news Of the mlshap reach
ed New Orleans by telephone early
Friday morning In an appeal for help
from Captain Rose of the United
Fruit company's steamer Esparata,
which came from Nairn. La, near

Magnolia left New Orleans at $3.50
o'clock Thursday night, and the Es-
parta was due to arrive Friday at
Chalmette. The weather was fine.
with comparatively little wind on the
river. ..-.-
At the time OF the accident the
president, absolutely worn out by his
strenuous experience in New Orleans,
was fast asleep. He had turned in
shortly after the vessel left New Or
leans. The two ships were near the
west shore when they came in contact
in an effort to avoid running into each
other.
Both vessels grounded before the
Esparta got off under her own steam.
The president showed no excitement
when Informed Of the extent Of the
disaster. He dressed Immediately,
and those of his party hurriedly made
arrangements for his transfer to the
lighthouse tender Ivy, which was ur-
ried to the scene of the accident. Elk
cept for the loss Of some sleep, the
president suffered nothing by the col
lision. .~...
With the whole party transferred to
the Ivy, that vessel was speeded down
the river to the cruiser West Virginia,
meeting with no further mishap.
Immediately upon hearing Of the
accident and escape Of the president,
Mayor Behrman sent the following
dispatch by wireless to the president:
"New Orleans is overjoyed to learn
that you and your party escaped with.
out injury, and regrets inexpressibiy
the discomfort the accident occasion
ed. We pray that your voyage home
will be safe and delightful"
Governor Blanchard also sent the
following: president Theodore Rcose-
velt, Aboard Cruiser West Virginia:
People of Louisiana regret accident
of last night. Rejoice it had no serious
consequences. Trust your voyage to.
Washington will be pleasant and de-.
void Of further mishap.

The West Virginia was spoken Fri
day from Pensacola by wireless tel
egraphy, the ship at that time being
about three hundred miles of. The
message was received at the Pensacola
navy yard, where the DeForest sys-
tenn had been installed and stated that
the West Virginia would reach Key
