Two weeks ago. at the request of the
president. d local firm sent one of its
most expert men to Washington to
take the measurement of the presi-

is physically able to race a shorter

IN India, marriage lottery is held. us

marriageable girls and of young men
deslrous of matrimony are. says a
writer in the Liverpool Daily Post,
written on slips of paper and thrown
into separate earthen pots. One OF
each kind is drawn out at time by a
wise man. The youth whose name is
drawn out obtains a letter of introduc-

accompanies his, and then all that re-
mains for him to do is to start his
ioyemaking at once. The majority of
these fortuitous courtships turn out

INSURGENTS MARCH
ON PORT AU PRINCE
Rev0Iutionists Drive Back Gov
ernment Troops and Seize
Two Haitian Towns
President Nord Alexis Organizes
Forces to Protect Capital
Against Opponents

PORT AU PRINCE. Nov. s9.-The
revolutionists, under command of Cen
eral Antoine Simon, the former COM
mander of the department of the south.
following up their victory over the
government forces at Anse a Veau, are
pushing up to Port au Prince. They
have driven back the government
troops many miles and have seized the
towns of Miragoane and Petit Goaste.
1t is believed that General Celestin
Cyriaque, minister of war, who took
refuge in the German consulate of the
former town, is still there. but it is
feared that there will be many deser-
tions to the revolutionary army.
President Nord Alexis has rejected
the suggestion that he give up the
organizing it's forces. Three divisions
of well disciplined troops under COM
mand of General Andre, minister Of the
interior and police, occupy a position
about six miles outside the city.
The south approach to the city is
being fortified, and Forts Bisoton and
.Mercredi. mounting modern artillery,
command the road.
Just how long it will take the revo-
lutionists to come from Miragoane.
which is about so miles from Port au
Prince, is a matter of doubt, but as
there are no government forces to
check them they are likely to reach
this city within As hours.
The engagement will be serious, and
1T is thought that forces may be land
ed from the warships now in the har-
Dor for the purpose of preventing pill
lage and injury to the foreign resi-
dents.
The sea blockade of three ports insti-
tuted by the government has proved a
failure. Steamers of the regular lines
are touching freely at these ports, and
1T is blockade In name only.
The United States cruiser Tacoma
and the French training ship Duguy
Trouin are now in the harbor, and the
British cruiser Scylla and the italian
cruiser Fieromosa are expected in a
few DAYS.
1t is impossible to ascertain the cas-
ualties of the recent engagement at
Anse Veau but it is understood that
the government forces lost many in
killed and wounded. A large number
of the wounded have been brought here
by the Haytian gunboat Centenaire, but
the governplent is endeavoring TO keep
the information regarding its defeat
from the public.

Mans Record.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 25.-With
an abundance of enthusiasm and red
fire the Republicans opened their
campaign here with big meeting at
Tomlinson Hall last night. Speaker
Cannon was the headliner in spite of
the protests of some of the party lead
ers, who thought it poor politics to
bring him into Indiana when, since
the agitation against him by labor
leaders.
Uncle Joe" took labor as his text
and spoke at length along the lines
he has followed throughout the cam
paign. He did not attempt to abuse
Gompers or any labor leaders, but he
asserted that he would not stand for
the enactment of any class legislation.
He ridiculed Bryan's platform, and
dug into his record as a tariff reform
er. He spent more than an hour
speaking of the deeds of the Republi-
can party.
He did not neglect to speak heartily
in favor of the national ticket, and to
give his Endorsement of James e.
Watson, nominee for Governor, and
Congressman Overstreet. He declared
that Watson never has opposed labor
and that there is no good cause for
labor being opposed to him.

today, but more are to be fired soon.
President Roosevelt is pleased to be-

Talks with the president justify the
impression that he is perfectly willing
to have it back and forth with the
democratic standard bearer without
any time limit. except that which elec-
ton day itself will impose. In fact
the president has intimated to close
friends that he hoped Mr.. Bryan
would not neglect to reply to the ex-
ecutive communication to him as
there was keen desire to deliver
some more volleys.
Governor Haskell of Oklahoma al
so is to receive more of the presi-
dents attention. Callers at the white
house have been given to understand
that Haskelrs defense will be ans
wered, even before the full nature of
the Oklahoma governors statement
had become known. 1t was intimated
that If Governor Haskell addressed a
communication to the president per-
sonally he might receive a direct re-
ply. Later it was stated that there
probably would be no direct CORES
pondence with the governor, but that
another shot would be taken at him
over the shoulder of Mr.. Bryan. in a
letter addressed to the latter. or in
some form of statement depending up
on developments.
