New York, Oct 2S.-With New York municipal election only three working days away. there was q gen. eral summing up of issues tonight by the eight hundred speakers who pre- scented the causes of Gaynor, Barnard and Hearst to audiences in every cor ner of Greater New York. Justice Gaynor. speaking four times to audi ences in Brooklyn.

 William Randolph Hearst. the third candidate for the mayoralty was si- lent tonight. but his followers in ten mass meetings kept the fires burning. At each meeting a long banner which hung above the stage bearing the words Down With rhc Bosses of Both Parties" furnished the text for the speakers.
 Justice Gaynor's plea for personal liberty received an enthusiastic en- dorsement at meeting of German American citizens in Cooper Union. At the conclusion og his address these resolutions ware a.jnpted declaring that of the three candidates in the field Justice Gavnor wes the most impec- ca ble foe of bosses and the most in- sistent champion Of the peoples rights The resolutions offered the loyll support of the meeting to the democratic nominees after declar g that German Americans were .'unal- terably opposed to a puritanical Sun day as well as to local option and pro- hibition agitation, as illiberal un- American and un -democratic.'
 The campaign managers for all the candidates again expressed their con- fdence today in the result Of the elec- tion. There was evidence. however, that the leaders believe that the elec- tions will be closer than their esti- mates would indicate.

 The schedule of the river trip has gone all to pieces; and although it is planned nowsto have the president wait outside of New Orleans on Saturday until most of the boats can join him there, the chances are that this scheme will have to be abandoned, if Mir. Taft is to set foot in the Crescent city dur ing daylight.
 In making up the schedule of the trip it is said that the maximum speed of the fast boats and the slow boats was added together and an average speed struck for all This was all right for the fast ones. but how the slow ones were expected to keep up is a mystery the rivermen say they are un- able to solve.
 President Taft tried to remain with the fleet as long as possible. On that account he was three hours late at Memphis and two hours late at Hele- na

There is no malice in my heart, l am not here to incoke the strong arm of the law. My eracity has been attacked by men re- siding in this community. They have fallen into evil hands and the tempta- ton was too great. They have sold their birthright for silver and there probably was more than thirty pieces. Willing to Accept Verdict of People of
 Montana.
 "l am here to give my version of the Mount Mckinley controversy, and then leave my case in the hands of an hon est body-the people of the great state of Montana. l will accept your yer dict.
 At the time of my arrival in New York. after two years and three months in the Arctic regions, and when all America was rejoicing over the double discovery Of the North Pole, there began a warfare to rob me of the glory of an achievement which was, and is, rightly mine.
 Glory Enough for Two.
 Confident that my rival lad tri-- umphed after nearly a quarter of a century in quest of the great unknown. with all good Americans rejoiced in his success and in Copenhagen l de- clared there was glory enough for two. Despite the bitter attacks which have been made upon me, my attitude in this respect is unchanged.

GENERAL UPRISING FEARED
In Hope of lntereession of United States-Pslaee of Japanese Resident General Strongly Guarded.

Seoul, Korea, Oct. 2S.-It is evident from the attitude of a considerable sec ton of the Korean population that the assassination of Prince Ito was not un- pleasing. Those comprising this sec ton represent the element which is now deprived of opportunities formerly offered here, and they are agitatlng for further violence. Viscount Some. the Japanese resident general in Ko- req, is much disturbed by the reports coming in regarding the attitude of some of the officials and others who were formerly closely connected with the court of the emperor.
 Prominent Koreans in Secret Agitation.
 It is now believed that the entire plot was matched in Seouba and the clos est investigation is proceeding to dis cover the instigators Of Prime Ito's murder. It is said that there is req son to believe that several prominent Koreans. whiel not actually privy to the assassination, lent themselves to secret agitation and encouraged the people in general in the opinion that the sympathy Of foreign countries would be shown them ft the situation were forciby brought to their atten- tion. It is now known that secret so- l cieties existed to spread the propo- ganda that Prince lto's outward friend ship for Korea was merely a blind
 Silly Reports Circulated.
 The report also was widely circuat- ed that Japan proposed to confscate the property of all Koreans, depose the emperor and drive the people into the , sea.

 The palace Of the resident general | is strongly guarded day and night A | decided feeliu; of unrest pervades [o- req. and 1t is feared that the assassin ation will be followed up by an active movement booking to a general uprls- ! ing in the hope of intercession by the ' United States or some other power to | prevent the further absorption of Ko- rea's sovereignty by Japan.
 Important Developments Expected Soon The ten Koreans arrested at Harbin | will be vigorously examined with a | view to discovering the instigators Of

London. Oct. 2S.-The bye election today in Bermonsey division of South wark. parliamentary borough of London. which was characterized by the most militant attack the suffra- Retters have yet ventured to make in their struggle for votes for women resulted in a sweeping victory for the unionists. John Dumphreys, unionist, won the three -cornered fight with a plurality of 9S7 overcoming the lib- eral majority of 1.759 in 1906. The vote was as follows: Dumphreys APIS, S. r.. Hughes. liberal. 3,291: Dr. A. Salter. socialist. 1435.
 The militant suffra gettes were early on the scene. and after adopting nu- merous eXpedients to harass the cleo ton officers and those most closely identified with the election.

Later in the dnS another suffra Eette made similar 8 L. tack on q ballot box. but with no more success than Mrs Chapin
 Both women were arrested.

Flank Movement of the Enemy.
 When the warfare failed. the enemy began this flank movement on the climb of Mount Mckinley. Men with money to burn in the flame of infamy entered the arena Men of this com munity whom I had previously be- lieved honest fell as victims. Their statements were absolutely untrue. Stin l nurse no spirit of revenge or malice against these misguided men. My counsel, however, has been in structed to continue the investigation until we catch the guilty money givers higher up.
 Hamilton and AIissoula have clear lv shown their disapproval of this bat tie of injustice They have shown they do not believe this malicious turn of rival powers. Your fairness and your faith is a pledge of human nature worth more than millions thrown into the hall of bribery.

I am ready to abide by your verdict Then. with new expedition to Mount Mckinley. l will guarantee our future possession.
