LIGHTSHIPS TO START
ON PERlL0US VOYAGE

New York Aug 22-Lyng off
Townsville Staten Island, are three
new lightships, which the government
is about to send around through the
Straits of Magellan to Seat &c. for dis
position on the Pacific coast. one is
the Relief, the other are Numbers
SS and r.
The voyage of the three boats is
much more of a risk than the recent
trip of the battleship fleet, because
while the lightships go under their
own steam they are not built for cruis-
ing, and their engines ar virtually but
auxiliary ones. The ships will have
to stop and coal at half dozen places.
The fleet will leave September 1
with tenders and the first stop will
be at Porto Rico. Then will follow
stops at the Barbados, Pernambuco,
Brazil Monte Viedo, Uraquay, Gallo,
Peru, and some Mexican port on the
aPacific side. The trip will take about
1870 days.
The passage of the Straits of Ma
gellan is of course. the most danger
GUS part of the voyage and this will
be accomplished in daylight, the light
ships anchoring at night.
About 200 sailors and firemen will
go with the mosquito fleet, as 1t Is
called. and the day before the vessels
sail, the wives, mothers, swetthearts
and friends of those who are to make
the trip, will have a celebration
ashore.

Forced Upon Him by NeceS-

Creditors.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Aug. az
Harry X. Thaw made public tonight
statement that is reply to various
reports regarding his financial deal
lngs that have arisen since he filed a
petition in bankruptcy. Thaw, in his
statement, says:
I'm able to say that statement

made by him. Mr. Semple will as
sure any inquirer that | have never

mother. At my request my business
attorney, Mr.. Lyon, obtained a loan
for me on June 1908, from my
mother, but that Is very different from
drawing upon her. / have not drawn
upon her at any time"
Regarding the rumor that he has
some ulterior purpose in being ad-
Judged a bankrupt, Thaw enters a spe-
cihc denial. His lawyers, Colonel,
Bartlett. Mr.. Morsehauser and Mr.
Peabody, have had charge of the
conduct of his case he says, but they
have paid no attention to his business
matters which were in his own hands
until heavy claims. some of which he
believes were gross overcharges,
forced him to protect himself and his
legitimate creditors by maintaining an
application In bankruptcy.

of the president, and Senator William

ing Of the league of republican clubs
of Cuyahoga county here tonight Sem
ator Smith said in part:
"This Is not the hour for tariff tin
kering, such as Mr.. Bryan indulg d in
when last in public office; leaving a
hideous trail behind which timo has
not obliterated and which more than
anything else in his brilliant life. has
kept him from further promotion
free trade, free silver and government
ownership of railroads has operated
against him. to be sure, but his vote
inScongress In favor of the Wilson bill
with its ruinous results, forfeited for
ever the confidence of the American
people In his economic judgment ana
the soundness of his views upon this
fundamental principle, of settled Am
erican policy"
Congressman Longworth said:
1.-THE democratic candidate for vice
president, Mr.. J. w. Kern, has not yet
been told that he was nominated; the
importance of this lies in the fact that
until Mr.. Kern has officially spoken
the great mass of the American peo-
pie will not know except In the vaguest
way. that the gentleman really is in
existence.
"The democratic candidate for
president needs no Introduction to the
American people. He has introduced
himself twice already and they have
failed to return the call. His support
ers tell you that he has improved with
age, that he has broadened by years
of experience as candidate and by
much travel They tell you that he
is more conservative, toned down
from his former state of violent and
aggressive radlcalism. They explain
wat abundant prosnerity has weaned
him away from his former enthusiasm

misIed; he Is the same old Bryan. To-
day he Is no better and no worse than
he was In '96. If he was unfit 20 be

"The republican platform, on the
