DIx's REITERATED DENIAL.

Albany. Oct. 24.-Repeating the as sertion that he is not and never has been connected directly or indirectly with any wall paper trust, as alleged by Roosevelt, John A. Dix, the demo- cratic nominee for governor in a statement tonight demands from the former president an apology which one gentleman owes another for even involuntary misrepresentation"
 Dix states that he never had any connection with the Standard Wall Paper company. which was a defen- dant in an action before the federal supreme court. That company went out of business, he said, in 1903, and the second Standard Wall Paper com pany of which Dix is now a director, was organized, and bought. among other properties, the plants and man. ufactured goods of the old Standard company.
 "This whole business" said Dix, "affords another example of the man. ner in which the former president of the United Etates misuses his great standing which was acquired by his election to the presidency. to misrepresent those who oppose him in any way"

 Tt is proposed to conduct a com prehensive and thorough inquiry which will be expeditiously made, said Stratton. As soon as the drift of the America II can be ascertained. I will send out a we'll provisiOned searching party from the nearest available point.
 What we propose to do now in Ot- tawa is to compile a route map and, if possible, establish the definite drift of the missing balloon. We are send ing out notification papers throughout Canada, asking every one who has seen any balloon to wire at my eX- pense, the day. hour, direction, and color of the balloon, and the place last seen"

 OF POSTAL DEFICIT A SAVING OF s11,5oo, 900 IN LAST
 YEAR. At Same Time Facilities and Salaries
At Same Time Facilities and Salaries
 Have Been Increased.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 24.-Figures, the compilation of which was com pleted at the postoffice department today, show that the exact reduction of the postal deficit for the fiscal year ended June 30 last, was s11.500,000.
 The deficit in the previous fiscal year was s17.e0e,000. so that in one year the deficit was reduced to $6,1O0,- 900.
 Commenting tonight upon the saw ing of 11,500,000 last year, Postmas- ter General Hitchcock said: This tre- mendous saving was made without a curtailment of postal facilities in any di- rection. On the contrary there were many important extensions. The de- partment's policy to extend the serv- ice as rapidly as it is warranted by the increasing population. and to ac- complish it's savings not by a curtail- ment of postal facilities, but by handling in a more systematic man. ner the constantly expanding volume of mail".
 Tables indicate that more than l. 500 new postoffices were established in the last fiscal year Great exten- sions were made in the rural delivery system, 515 new routes with a total mileage of 12,235 being put into oper- ation.
 The tables show that the salaries of postoffice clerks were advanced in the aggregate, s1,750,000, while the aggre- gate salaries of letter carriers were increased $1,226,O00. Railway mai clerks received increases amounting to almost $250,000.
 MT Hitchcock explained that all the increases of compensation were based upon a system of efficiency ratings adopted by the department a little more than a year ago. He says that the system has had a highly beneficial effect on the service.

The Return of Peary to the Navy Awaited
 ~ l AFTER TEN YEARS ABSENCE
The Department has Un- earthed History Showing that What He Hunted for Had Been Found Nearly 600 Years Before.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Although his leave of absence expired yesterday Captain Robert F. Peary, the Artic explorer, did not report today for duty as civil engineer in the navy. Acting Secretary Winthrop said it had not yet been decided to what work Peary would be assigned.
 Peary has been on leave of absence for ten years, under a tacit under standing that he was to devote his time to Arctic exploration. As he has not applied for a further exten- sion, it is assumed by the navy de- partment that he is ready to return to active duty. He was recently pro noted to the rank of captain through the retirement of a senior officer.
 The department officials have un- earthed an old histry in which a claim is made that the north pole was discovered in 1860 by a friar of OK ford. It is called The New Naval History, or a Complete Review of the British Marine" published by John Entick, London, 1757. On one of its following paragraphs appears:
 "The year 1860 recorded that a friar of oxford called Nichola de Lima, or of Lynn, being a good as- tronomer, went in the company of others to the most northern island of the world and there leaving his company together travelled alone and made draughts of all those northern parts with indrawing seas. which at his return he presented to the king of England"
 It is added that he went to the north pole by means of his skill in magic, or black art: but this magic or black art may probably have been nothing more than a knowledge of the magnetic needle or compass, found out about sixty years before, though not in common use until many years later.

 The regulations have been promui- gated and the lands are now advertised for sale at public auction. They will be sold by counties continuously from November 21, 1910, to March l, 1911. The sale of the forest area in the Choc- Jaw nation will take place later, it be- ing necessary to make an appraise- ment. A-.- il44s

Great Damage Was Done in the
 Vicinity of Naples

Naples. Oct 25.-The island of Ischia, in the Mediterranean sea, six teen miles southwest of the city of Naples. has been storm swept. The first reports gave a very consider able loss of life from tidal wave, but the latest reports indicate that the victims were few. It is believ- ed that several persons were kill- ed by the collapse of houses, but the body of only one woman has been found
 Naples suffered from a furious storm of wind and rain last night and all day today, the damage amounting to millions.
 The suburbs were even more ser iously affected. and several persons killed. The surrounding country was devastated, and great quantities of grapes and vines, besides trees walls and parts of houses being scat tered about in all directions.

ROOsEVElT's REPETITION
And Dix's Continued Denial of. the Charge that He Was Ever Connected With the Trust the Colo nel has In Mind.

Binghampton, Oct 24.-The study of scientific farming at close range kept Colonel Roosevelt most of the time today He rode ninety-th miles in an automobile to inspect the abandoned farms in this section of the state, beginning at Ithaca, and ending at Binghampton. He has de- cided that a farmer who goes about it the right way can make a living from land now going to waste.
 Col. Roosevelt also made three speeches for the republican state ticket The point most emphasized in these speeches was that John A. Dix, the democratic candidate for governor, had been a director of the so-called wall paper trust for eigh- teen months in spite of Dix's state ment last Saturday to the contrary.
 Col. Roosevelt befgan his speeches by referring to the court records to show that while MT. Dix was assOci- ated as a director of the Standard Wall Paper company in June, 1907, the final decision declaring the wall paper combine illegal was not ren- dered in the supreme court until February, 1909, and he said either Dix did not know what the company was doing or else he did not make a frank statement about the matter.

 PHILADELPHIA And For Once Penn's Town Got

 Although extra precautions had been taken to prevent the crowd from entering the Pennsylvania sta tion the rooters out-generaled the railroad officials. Huge gates had been erected at the entrance to the Broad street station, and no one was allowed to reach the train floor who did not have railroad ticket.
 Not to be outdone by this piece of strategy hundreds lined up at the ticket windows and purchased tick cts to nearby stations thereby crowd ing the big station to overflowing.
 A hurry call was sent to the police stations and three hundred policemen were soon on the scene and kept the crowd back from the entrances. When the train pulled into the station, the players almost had to fight their way to the street, where twenty automobiles and the First regiment band were waiting. Headed by the mayor the players were escorted to the Bellevue -Strat- ford
 The players were entertained at a dinner which lasted until o'clock when the victors were taken to a local theatre. Here they attracted much more attention than the actors
