Havana, October 13.-Secretary Of
War Taft, and Assistant Secretary OF
State Bacon, President Roosevelt's
peace commissioners. completed their
labors here today, and both depart
ed for the United States on board the
battleship Louisiana. They were fol-
lowed to the boat by the revolutionary
leaders. but the former government
officials showed no disposition to join
in the farewell, either collectively or
individually, and no prominent moder-
ates appeared at the palace or the
wharf to participate in the leave TAX
ing.
Two leading liberal nationalists. Gov
ernor Nunez and Congressman GOWN
were the only highly prominent men,
bers OF the government group who
saw the party off.
The principal event of the day pre-
ceeding the departure of Messrs. Taft
and Bacon was the taking over Of the
government by Charles Z. Magoon,
which was done by the issuance OF a
proclamation declaring that he had
entered upon and would discharge the
functions Of government as directed by
President Roosevelt, by virtue of the
authority of the Platt amendment.
This was precisely in line with Presi-
dent Rooseveltt's appointment OF Mr..
Magoon, which states that IL was
made "by virtue OF the authority con-
ferred upon me by the appendix to
the constitution Of Cuba and by act
of congress March 2. 1901.
Secretary Taft's governorship OF the
island ceased at noon, and at o'clock
he and Mrs. Taft, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Bacon stood in the blue room OF the
palace, and for a quarter OF an hour
bade farewell TO such friends as call
ed and to those with whom they had
come In contact at the palace
The big crowd assembled at the
wharf doffed their hats, and the Sec
retaries responded likewise, but there
was no cheering or other demonstra-
tions. Brigadier General Funston who
| had preceded the others had started
for the battleship Virginia in a launch,
| and few moments later Mr.. Taft

MAKERS COMPLAIN
Freight Rates are Unreasonable and
Almost RuinOuS to the Trade.

Washington, October ia COM
state commerce commission by the
North Carolina case workers assOcia-
ton, merchandise association with
headquarters at High Point, N. c.,
whose membership consists Of firms To-
Gated in various cities of North Caro-
lima and Virginia engaged in the man
ufacture and sale of furniture, against
the Southern Railway, the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway, the Norfolk and
Western railway and many other lines
of railroad in the west and northwest
because of alleged unjust and discrim-
inatory charges made by the railroads
for the transportation Of furniture,
especially from High Point, N. c., and
Danville, Va, to Pacific coast terminal
points. The complaints declare that
the railroads charge them $1.70 per
hundred pounds to carry furniture
from the North Carolina territory to
Pacific points, and insist upon a min
imum carload weight of 10000 pounds,
whereas they claim to be able to put
into a car only 10000 pounds of furni-
ture They insist therefore that the
rates are unreasonable and practically
ruinous and ask the commission to
hear the case and issue an order re-
quiring the railroads to limit So feet
carloads of furniture to 10000 pounds
and remedy the complaints made by
| the association.

REPUBLICANS NEED MONEY
Contributions Only One-Tenth Of
Amount Generally Subscribed Up to
Present Time.

New York, October 13.-The republi-
can state committee up to the present
time has received only one-tenth as
much money in campaign contributions
as any year since 1891. This an
nouncement was made by Chairman
Woodruff, after a long conference with
George R. Sheldon, treasurer Of the
state committee. Mr.. Woodruff said
that the falling OFF In contributions was
due to the recent law forbfdding cor
porations to contribute to campaign
funds, and that the situation which has
resulted is no serious thae something
must be done.
I'VE don't hesitate to say" Mr.
Woodruff declared, that ir former
years approximately eighty, per cent.
Of the campaign contributions came
from the corporations and the repub-
lican party knowing last year that the
public demand change from that sys-
tenn. and in spite of the fact of 1t BE-
ing the party which profted by the
contributions from the corporations,
drew up, made and passed the law
which prohibits any corporation from
giving anything to a campaign fund"

Overall took his place He inaugural
ed his reign by allowing Robe to walk,
following which Donohue doubled to
left and Davis scored. The American
league partisans at this stage of the
game were fairly wild with delight.
The so-called "hitless wonders" had
driven two pitchers to the bench and
seemed about to treat the third one
likewise. The scoring however, for
this inning, was ended for Comiskey's
team. Sculte captured DOugherty's fly
off his shoe string and caught Robe at
the place when the latter tried to
score. In their half the Nationals
tailed one run in the misplays of their
opponents. Tinker was safe when
Robe threw into the crowd and reach
ed the second on the error. Evers
walked and King struck out. Tinker
stole third and scored on a wild pitch.
In the sithx Isbell scored on his own
double and Robes single. In their
half the Nationals made two runs.
After Evers and King faded away
Overall and Holman were passed and
when Sheckard reached first on Robes
tumble the bases were full.
Sculte doubled to left center and
Overall and Holman scored. Had it
not been for the ground rules, Schulte's
hit would have been home run, and
the score would have been even. With
men on second and third Chance hit
an easy one to Isbell and was out at
first. Thereafter neither side was able
to score, although the Nationals look
ed dangerous in the seventh. Stein
feldt doubled to left along the foul
line. 1t was apparent here that Walsh
who had also pitched on Thursday,
was weakening and Captain Jones
very promptly took him out. White
finished the game in his stead. He
held control and the inning ended with
Steingeldt still on third base.
The Americans have now won three
out of five games. Tomorrow's game
will be played on the American league
grounds and should they win this game
they will gain the worlds champion

Albany, N. Y, October 13.-In what
was practically head-on collision on
the Hudson river at 1:20 this morning
between the steamers Adirondack of
the Peoples Line, and the Saratoga of
the Citizens Line, one man, an oiler
on the Saratoga, lost his life; one Of the
crew of the Adirondack is missing,
about 500 passengers had a thrilling
experience, and both the steamers were
damaged to the extent of thousands of
dollars, the Saratoga being practically
put out Of commission. The missing
man is George L. Horton, Of Troy,
freight clerk on the Adirondack
The collision occurred near Tivoli,
about ninety-nine miles from NewYork
while both boats were feeling their
way through dense fog. The Sara
toga bound south from Troy with
about 200 passengers, crashed into the
Adirondack, bound north from New
York. The collision tore away rs feet
of the lower deck on the port side of
the wheel, of the Saratoga. The ter
rifle impact caused the Saratoga with
one side of her lower deck almost shat
tered to rebound, and she now lies at
anchor a few yards from where the
collision took place.
Those OF the passengers who were
not awakened by the shock were soon
reused from slumber by the cries of
the crew on both boats. Fortunately
help was at hand. The steamer Onte-
ora steamed alongside the Adirondack
a few minutes after the crash and Of
fered assistance. Captain Wilson of
the Adirondack told the OnteOra to
stand by while he assured his passen-
gers that there was no immediate
danger.
From the story told by the pass n
gers and the captain of the Adirondack
there was comparatively little excite
ment, considering the seriousness of
the accident.
The collision tore away that part of
the lower deck in which were located
the rooms of First Mate Dermitty, and
Frank Flanagan, of New York and
George L. Horton, of Troy. All three
were precipitated into the river. Der
nifty and Flanagan floated around on
pieces of freight until they were pick
ed up. Horton has not been found
After the collision the Saratoga
drifted to shore, while the Adirondack
proceeded to Albany. The only man
ON the Saratoga who would talk was
Electrician Campbell He said:
Il was in the hold about 1 a. m. when
there came a terrific crash and the
lights went out l groped my way to
the upper deck and found a scene of
confusion there The excitement soon
abated, however, as the passengers
were quieted by assurances that there
was no dangr. Ke drifted from a point
above Kruger's Island, down about q
mile to the Hogs, where we grounded
in shallow water. The City of Troy, a
sister boat of the Saratoga came along
bound up the river and took off the
Saratoga's passengers"

Amsterdam, n. z, October 13.-1
am satisfied that we cannot be beaten
if we are not over confident" declared
Charles E. Hughes, the republican
candidate for governor, upon the COM
pletion here tonight of his first up
state campaign tour. Mr.. Hughes made
five speeches today in as many differ
ent places. In his speech today, all
OF them delivered in industrial centets,
Hr. Hughes made an especial appeal to
the labOring men and made a more
direct attack upon w. r. Hearst than
in any of the speeches Of his cam
paign. He referred to his opponent in
one speech as "the representative of
the most outrageous use of money IN
politics in furtherance of selfish am
bition.''

Annapolis, Nd, October 13.-Prince-
tons burly team this afternoon man
aged to score one touchdown against
the much lighter but plucky football
eleven of the naval academy, and to
keep their own goal line from being
crossed.
The game was played before "a
crowd of nearly 5000 people. The
weather was of the kind that exhaust
ed the players. and forced spectators
to throw off all top wrappings.
Cooney put the ball into play. send
ing it sailing to Norton's waiting
arms a bare five yards from Navy's
goal posts. The navy quarter got back
six yards before being downed, but
after this the 'midshipmen were forced
to punt. In the last moments Of the
first half, Wister's tumble of Spen
GERS punt gave the midshipmen their
only chance to score. Ingram got out
the ball for the navy as it bounded
y
line. He made a pretty dash of fif-
teen yards, and on the next play Spen-
Ger made five more The midshipmen,
however, could not get over Prince
tons stubborn defense of their goal
line, and Norton was called upon 70
try a goal from the field The kick
was blocked and Dillon recovered fif-
teen yards for Princeton just as time
was called for the end of the half.
After eight minutes of play Spencer
received Dillon's punt on navy's five
yard line, after the navy line had
held the tigers for downs. Spencer
then kicked the ball out of danger to
Dillon who heeled for free kick on
the navy's IS yard line. Norton
fumbled Cooney's kick and downed
the ball for a touch back. On the
punt out from the 25 yard line Spen-
GERS kick was received by McCormie
in midfeld. From here Princeton
