NETTLED AT ASPERSIONS ON
HIS PHYSICAL CONDITION.
Speaking at the Cities Along the
Hudson River-Driving Rain
Fails to Keep Voters In.

NEW YORK, October 27.-Wiiliam
H. Taft left New York at 9:O5 o'clock
this morning for Troy, where he will ar
rive at $3.50 o'clock tonight. Meantime,
Mr.. Taft will speak at Yonkers. larry
town. Peekskill. Fishkill Landing
Poughkeepsie, Hudson. Schenectady and
Cohoes. His itinerary, which was ar
ranged some time ago, will doubtless be
extended to include a number Of addi-
tional stops. Mr. Taft felt the heavy
work of yesterday, but expressed himself
as being in fit condition to carry out his
itinerary for the rest of the campaign.
YONKERS. N. Y, october 27.-Judge
Taft reached here In a driving rain, but
was met at the station by big crowd
He was taken at once to the largest hall
In the city. which was we'll filled. Judge
Taft was In better voice to begin his
days work than usual. To his Yonkers
audience the candidate made a general
speech touching in his usual vein on
many of the issues.
AS the crowd outside appeared to con-
tain twice as many persons as that
which had heard the candidate inside.
Mr.. Taft was induced to make another
speech. He told the overflow meeting
that a great issue of the campaign is
whether or not the country shall have "a
return Of prosperity. The republican
party. he declared, was the best equipped
to meet that issue.
Taft's Physical Condition.
That Judge Taft was nettled at the
stories printed in New York regarding
his physical condition was made clear at
the beginning of his speech. He said:
This is an opportunity which seek be-
cause If 1 had read the newspapers as you
have. without having had a little inside
information, 1 should have expected to
see myself brought in here on stretcher
l don't like to say that metropolitan jour-
nails are given to any more mendacity
than other journals. but they have par
ticular facility for misinformation that
does not seem to extend generally into
the country. 1 may pride myself as a
man able to walk and not in a state of
nervous or physical collapse. l should
hesitate to go on and state just what l
ate for breakfast this morning, but as
these details would seem to be relevant
to my condition 1 might do so and demon
strate what 1t seems to be necessary to
demonstrate, that 1t is not found neces-
sary to carry me to hospital at the end
of each day."

The foreign Office said today that Presi-

envoy be sent to Caracas to arrange
settlement of the differences between the
two states could not be entertained until
after the receipt of the note. This pro-

Some surprise will be occasioned by the
issuance OF the warrants. Few dealers.
says Maj. Sylvester, suspect that the ma
chimes In their places have been patron
lied by policemen in the course OF duty.
Maj. Sylvester said the inducement OF
fered by the machines is one that children
are attracted to, and which gives them a
taste of gambling.
The police chief believes the courts VIII
hold the use of such machines to come
within the provisions of the gambling
law In Maryland and Virginia the courts
have held that the money slot machines
constitute a violation of the gambling
law and persons in whose places they
were found have been tried and convicted
The defense to the cases that are to be
brought to the attention of the Police
Court in the near future will probably be
that the machines operate to provide six
pices of gum for a nickel aand that the
transaction Is strictly commercial.

or iron pillars. extending across the
continent. and marking anew the line
where the confines of the United States
and Canada meet. a small corps OF
SUI veyors and Iaborers is now resting

assignment. This tour OF duty, which
has been shared jointly by the survey
ors Of the United States Coast and Ge-
odetic Survey at Washington, and from
the Canadian commission at Ottawa,
has thus far taken seven years TO &C
complish, and the work will have ex-
tended well into the eighth year be
fore the last mark is placed.
A small portion of the northeast
boundary, where the state of Maine
meets the Providence OF New Bruins
wick, is all that remains to be survey
| ed and remarked. II is expected that
! this final portion of the work will
have been completed before next sum
mer. This part of the international
boundary has been in dispute for 10
Years. A tentative line is reported to

| this report is apparently confirmed by
the recent finding in Marietta, o., OF
/ the papers of Gen. Rufus Putnam, who
made the original survey.
The re-establishing of the boundary

from the original boundary. In some
! localities the monuments have beenre'
/ moved and the markers lost, or mis-.
takes found in the previous surveys,
| but in no case the corrections effect
any great strip of territory.
| In a few places. houses of recent
erection, generally believed to have
been built on Canadian soil, were
found to be under the jurisdiction Of
the American flag, while supposedly
American homes were found to be il
the British Empire. Line houses, 81

location on equal sides of the line fol
eyading liquor and customs laws were
found amenable to laws of one countr!
