Small Fire on Steamer

Tampa. Fla. October 20.-Fire, which was discovered in the coal bunkers of the French steamer Charles Lecour, and which forced the vessel to put back into port here today, was extinguished with comparatively small loss. The vessel also was leaking badly and 1t is believed she is strained amidships by the buffeting of the hurricane. One man on the steamer had his arm broken and another went insane during the storm. The latter was placed in irons when he attempted suicide.

OPPOSITION TO
 FORTIFYING CANAL

Washington, October 20.--(Special )-'J am strongly opposed to the fortiication of the Panama canal" declared Represen- tative David J. Foster of Vermont, chair man of the house committee on foreign relations, who just returned to Washing ton from the city of Mexico, to which capital he was sent as chairman of the American commission to the Mexican cen tennial of last month.
 Both President Taft and former Pres ident Roosevelt have been quoted as ad- vocates of the fortifcation of the canal. MT. Taft is represented as holding the belief that the canal should not only be fortified, but also that its fortifcation should be effected while the canal is be- ing finished. so that the proposed de- lenses may be ready by the time the canal Is opened in 1915.
 Representative Foster, who has been reelected to the Slxty-second Congress. takes exactly the contrary view and is a firm advocate of the naturalization" of the canal by the great powers of the world. T am strongly opposed" he said, '' to the fertilization of the canal. It Is intended to be great highway of com merce and I would see it great peace highway. Without expressing any opin- ion as to our right to fortify the canal the simple truth is that before we stuck spade into the canal zone we entered into treaty with Great Britain under the terms of which we are bound to keep the canal free and open to the ships of Great Britain at all times, in war as well as peace; in fact. we bound our selves by that treaty to keep the canal open to the ships of all nations at all times alike in peace and war. While i' may be true that nations not signatories to that treaty could claim no advantage under 1t. We are morally bound by its terms to see that the canal is open at all times to the ships of all nations Un- der these circumstances we should no gotiate with these other nations treaties binding them to assist us in neutraliz- ing the canal"

NEW RECORDS MADE
 BY BIG BALLOONS

St. Louis, October 20-Theodore Schaeck, piloting the Swiss balloon Hell vetia, which started in the international race here. made a landing at Vile Marie, Pontiac county, Quebec, late this after noon, according to a message received by the Aero club of St. Louis. Vile Marie is about HOO miles northeast of St. Louis.
 This is not thought to be the balloon sighted at Kiskisinki, Canada, 120O miles from St. Louis today. If the report of that balloon Is authentic, it makes the international race started here the most remarkable in balloon annals.
 The other three balloons which are be- lieved to have reached Canada and land ed are the Swiss balloon Azurea Lieu tenant Missner pilot; the German balloon Dusseldorf II, Lieut. Hans Gericke pilot, and the America III, A. R. Haley, pilot.

Damage |. Not So Great

Key West, Fla, via Havana. Cuba, Oc- tober 20.-The damage done by the storm in Key West was not so great as at first reported Business was resumed yester- day and all the cigar factories were working today. The constructing engi- neer of the East Coast extension says that the work at North Knights Key has not been severely damaged. The equip
 nent Is practically uninjured, but sev- eral temporary trestles were broken down by floating debris, which will prevent
 he operation of the regular trains for week or more. More serious damage was done to the lines between Key West and Boca Chica. The steamer City of Texas will take the remaining passeng- ITS from the stranded steamer Louisiane to Havana direct. Those now at Key Vest will leave on the Olfvette tomorrow night.

Miami Is Heard From

Miami Fla, October 20.-Communica- ton with the outside world was estab- ished this afternoon for the first time since last Sunday, when all wires went down in the. midst of the West Indian hurricane. While storm losses in this city were not great, reports are coming in of extensive damage to shipping all along the southeast coast of Florida. It Is reported that there are 35 washouts on the East Coast railroad between West Palm Beach and Steward, and it is hard to tell when Miami will have mail and train service
 Only four deaths in all have been re- ported as the result of the storm, which is said to have been the worst in the history of the Florida coast. The schooner Harry T. Haywood from Boston was wrecked off the reefs at Boca Batone and three of the crew drowned. The others were rescued. Harry T. Geering, young man from Ghent, Ky, was killed by fall others are reported injured when their homes were demolished by the terrific wind and rainstorm.
 At Hallandale 10 houses. including the school house, were demolished, leaving many homeless. At Indian Key the Col lns plantation was devastated. The workmen were gathered in one house and all were more or less injured. Twenty houses were blown down and the res idents, white and black, were brought to Miami Tuesday.
 The damage to the crops in this section of the state, with the exception of early vegetables Is not considered great. The citrus crop will not suffer to a notice able degree.
 The auxiliary steamer Francis E. from Nassau last Saturday and due here Sun day, arrived this afternoon with 40 pass sengers. The vessel went into port at Bimini and escaped the storm. There ire reports of many other wrecks. but their identity and location cannot be learned at this time.

 v --.S vessel.
 The steamer Florida, about which there has been much concern, Is reported safe. She has a barge in tow which is leaking badly. Many other vessels, seemingly In distress, have been reported, but 1t will be several days before list of the miss ing Is obtainable.
 News comes from Key West that Knights Key, the preesnt southern ter minus of the Florida East Coast railway, is entirely cut of by washouts and breaks in the cement roadbed and that 1t viii be two weeks before the trains will be running between Miami and that point. News was brought to the city today that 47 members of the Plant City Artil- lery company, now encamped on Egmont Key, escaped further damage than trying experiences during the storm on Tuesday night. Their tents were blown down and many of the men were forced to sleep in the open.

Tampa, Key West and Miami Are Heard From and
 Losses Are Heavy
KEY WEST IS ONE OF THE
 GREATEST SUFFERERS
But Property Damage Makes the Storm One of the Worst in
 Florida History

Tampa, October 30.-With telegrauhic communication between this section of Florida and the outside world re-estab- lished today. recapitulation shows losses reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars lert in the wake of the West Indian storm which swept across the peninsula Tuesday. The toll of life, so far report cd, is limited to six seamen, who are supposed to have pershed when vessel on which they were quartered broke from their moorings at Marquesas and were driven out to sea.
 Wire communication with points south of Tampa has not yet been established, but information brought by mail indicates that the storm passed south of Tampa destroying orange groves, levelling frame houses and doing much damage to small shipping in the many passes along the Florida inland waterways.
 So far as reported, Key West was the worst sufferer. Despite the optimistic dispatches sent out by wireless, in which the damage was reported, passengers coming in on the steamship Olivette this afternoon say that the general damage to the island city was greater than that of a year ago. The electric plant was wrecked. the wireless station blown down, half dozen of the largest cigar factories which withstood the blow a year ago are in ruins, with a hundred other buildings badly damaged.

CONTRIBUTED
Mr.. Watson's ChaIIengers.

We notice in the newspapers, and we
have heard some remarks, about Thomas
E. Watson not accepting DR.. Broughton's
challenge, and the challenge Of another to
discuss before prejudiced jury what we
regard the greatest cheat now before the
American people, namely: Foreign Mis-
sions.
In the days of chivalry when challenges
were sent, the challenged party had the
right to name the place, time and weapons
to be used.
In these times, however, little crea-
lures want the discussion before juries Of
their own choosing, where no possible pre-
tense Of q fair verdict could be expected.
II they who are so anxious to combat
the facts and the exposures made by Wat
son, let them do as gentlemen did when
duelling was in vogue. Mr.. Watson, being
challenged, had the right to name the time
and place for the contest. He offered them
the use Of his newspaper and his maga-
zine, but for reasons best known to them
selves, they declined the opportunity to
demolish Mr.. Watson, and refused to make
spectacles Of themselves.
As far as we have seen, no man has yet
refuted Mr.. Watson's facts or figures, nor
have they disproved the correctness Of his
conclusions.
Mr.. Watson has printed his statements.
II they are erroneous, wherein are they
30 ? Until disproved they must stand.
Our Saviour, fearing that the missionary
business would develop as it has, into a
scheme, trade or profession, by which in
nocent people could be duped out Of their
money, attempted to forestalI the people
when he told his missionaries to go with
out purse and without scrip. Our mission
aries want money from the very first mo-
ment. Will somebody please tell US If
Paul and other of our Saviour's mission
aries sought money first, last and all the
time.
Our Saviour, knowing the cupidity Of
men, set his people on guard against mer-
cenary or hired missionaries.
When great appeals are made for mer-
cenary or hired missionaries, did yon ever
notice the class Of men for wnom the
"swag" was raised? Did they belong to
our Saviours sort, whom he told to go
without scrip and without purse 2 The
way missionaries demand money, looks
too much like the Chinaman's willingness
to become Christian, namely: If his en-
ployer would increase his wages dollar a
week.
