MIR. TAFT IN INDIANA.
All Campaign Records in That State
 Broken.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 23.-The days exhibition of politicians in In- diana has been such as to eclipse all previous campaigns according to the national and state leaders who have been with the Taft special. So great have been the crowds every where that even the arrangements of the local committees have been over ridden. Appreciating conditions and realizing that while he might be heard by the few it was better to meet the demand of the many who would be satisfied with the sight of him, MT. Taft has done less talking and more exhibition" work than heretofore in his campaign. Whenever he has spok- en his remarks have been appreciated.
 A drizzling rain for a part of the day and evening and the bad rail- road service which set the train more than an hour late before today's itin- erary was much more than half ac- complished, seemed to make no im- pression on the demand for a look at the big candidate and whenever his train was at a standstill there was no cessation of the cries of approval and shouts of applause which filled the air.

 President Roosevelt OVER THE KNOX LETTER
He Tells Jerseymen That He Fears the Succession of
 Nicholas Longworth as Democratic Leader--Candi- date Reaches White House

Newark, N. j., Oct 23-New ter sey poured out her hosts today to greet Wm. J. Bryan. Refreshed by a long sleep last night following two laborious days in Ohio and West Vir ginia, the democratic candidate was in splendid form ana cook advantage of this to inject into his utterances a spirit which enabled him to impress his audiences everywhere.
 Travelling at a nerveracking clip over a ZigZag course in a handsomely equipped special train in charge of State Chairman J. R. Nugen, Bryan was enabled to talk to a great num- Der of farmers and laboring men and others in the farming and industrial centers of the state.
 Evidently inspired by President ROosevelts recent declaration on la bor in which President Samuel Comp CTS and himself were severely criti- cised, Bryan chose for his main text the labor question and in most of his speeches, of which there were sixteen. he made merry with the president He accused the president of putting into the campaign again and depOsing  MT. Gompers, and he said sarcasti- cally that he expected before long that he himself would be deposed and Nicholas Longworth. the presidents son-in- law, placed at the head of the democracy.
 He never lost an opportunity to define the difference between the platforms of the democratic and re- publican parties with respect to la bor and explained with minute de- tail the pledges which the democratic party made at Denver to secure reme- dial legislation for which he said la bor was crying, but to which the re- publicans had turned a deaf ear.
 Incidentally at West Philadelphia, on his way to New Jersey. the can didate referred to the fact that his voice had held out so well because he had no ragged arguments to pass through his throat. His platform hay

THEIR LOVE ROSE HIGHER
As the Americans Stayed Longer On the Hospitable Shore-A Jackie's Splendid Performance Further Riv- eted Bond of Friendship.

Yokohama, Oct 23-The series of incompatible functions which has characterized Japan's reception of the American fleet ended tonight, with a dinner on board the battleship FujL the guests being confined to the Amer jean ambassador. the rear admirals and officers. and q brilliant reception on the battleship Mikasa to which all prominent Americans here were invit- ed There was an accompaniment of illumination of the fleet and fire works and torch light processiOns on shore.
 Pear Admiral Sperry today endeared himself to the Japanese people by per sonally attending the funeral of Gen eral Count NodZu and placing a wreath on the casket. Later, after luncheon was given at Shiba palace Rear Admiral Sperry accompanied by his aides walked from the palace to the Shimbashi railway station. passing along GinZa, the principal street of TokiO which was massed with people. The rear admiral was recognized and almost mobbed by tens of thousands of enthusiastic people. but he was ev cry where treated with respect. Thou sands sought to shake him by the hand and the ovation lasted the whole length of the street. The same scenes were continued in Yokohama4along the route of the Americans to the wharf where the launch of the flagship Con necticut awaited the rear admiral and the cheers were continued until he reached his ship.
 A single incident will illustrate the spirit in which the American sailors accepted the welcome of the Japanese. This evening a triumphal arch at the entrance of the principal street of To- kohama caught fire, the blaze reaching up towards the Japanese flag floating from the flagstaff at the top and threatening to destroy the flag. An American jackie dashed up the frame work of the arch through the blaze, broke off the staff and carried the flag safely to the ground. The act was witnessed by thousands and created profound impression. The young ster received an ovation which was continued until he was forced to run for shelter.
 The famous Maple club of TokiO was the scene tonight os one of the most brilliant functions of the entire week which was unsurpassed during the entertainment.

 According to press dispatches re- ceived here the impression is gaining ground in several European capitals that the proposed conference will be abandoned on account of the diff culties in the way of formulating a program, but the highest authorities at the foreign office here do not share this view and point to the Ob- viOus impOssibility of a settlement of the international compact by any Oth- CT method than an international con- ference.
