West Point, N. y, Sept. 30.-In-
stead OF participating in the opening OF
the football season at West Point to-
morrow, the entire cadet body, includ-
ing the football squad, will continue to
be confined in barracks as result OF
"siencing" Captain Longan.
The court of inquiry which has been
investigating the silence" has now
completed the examination OF the first
class men, but with such unsuccessful
results that it has been decided to call
the under-class men. This means that
the court will continue in session over
next week. No concession in the re-
strictions under which the cadets are
being held in the meantime has
been made yet, except to restore the
evening dress parade, which, from the
cadets point Of view, is regarded as
additional punishment.

situation in Naples reached the riot
stage today. Several hundred carbineers.
called into service to assist the health
authorities in disinfecting houses in
hie affected districts and in isolating

people resisted the efforts OF the car
bineers and fought with knives, clubs
and stones. The authorities, however,
we're unyielding and, as result OF
their rigorous methods, the various
cholera spots of the city are today in
more hopeful condition than at any
time since the disease reached the
epidemic stage.
The government has ordered every
house in the infected districts to be
thoroughly disinfected.
There have been twelve cholera

DYNAMITE Plot Frustrated.

Chicago, Sept. S0.-What is believed
to be an attempt to blow up the
residence OF Mrs. Potter Palmer with
q bomb was frustrated by the police
last night, but not made public until
today.
Fred Wahlenmeyer, 26 years old, a
German, was arrested on the porch OF
the Palmer residence, where he had
crawled on his hands and knees from
the gate at the entrance. Near HIM IN
the grass was found gas pipe bomb,
filled with smokeless powder and fuse
attached. The police say Wahlenmeyer
admitted making the bomb, but would
give nothing tangible regarding his
intentions.
The story told by Wahlenmeyer, APP
parently marks him as insane. 1t is
full of contradictions, but the police
are not sure but that he has purposely
told such story in an effort to estab-
Iish insanity.
Wahlenmeyer, after crawling to the
door of the house, rang the bell. When
the butler answered, Wahlenmeyer SAID
he was ill., The butler slammed the door
and called the police. When the police
arrived they found Wahlenmeyer still
in the yard. He had large butcher
knife in his hands. but was overpowered
before he could use it. AT the police
station he told a rambling story. He
said he was passing the residence, when
he saw a man crawling toward the
house and jumped on his back. He
declared the man fought him and cut
his clothing with a knife. He showed
cuts on his clothing and one slight
scratch, but later admitted that he had
lied regarding the fight, and that he
had cut the holes in his clothing to
lear out his story.
In the house at the time we're Mrs
Potter Palmer, Judge Lockwood Honore,
her brother, and Honore Palmer, her
son. Special guards were thrown around
the house after the arrest and a search
made for other bombs.
Wahlinger finally confessesed that
he had gone to the house with the bomb
but would not say for what purpose.
He admitted making the bomb.
Wahlinger's sister, Emily called at
the station house today and said her
brother had been suffering for some
time from circular insanity, caused by
an injury received while 4 fireman on
the Northwestern Railroad. He will
be taken to the detention hospital and
examined as to his sanity.

ELECTION FRAUDS.

Developments of an interesting ma.
ture came out of yesterdays investiga.
ton in Norfolk. Aside from the hearing
of Mr.. Maynard's short answer in the
democratic congl essional inquiry, the
day was given over to the hearing OF
testimony on the charges by citizens
counsel and by Mr.. Maynard.
J. Martin Davis testified that when
one of the judges Of election in Ports
mouth told John L. Watson, a CAPT
talist and one Of the bsst-known citizens
OF that city, that George A. Tabb,
former city treasurer, was out OF town
Watson remarked he would put in
ballot for Tabb. and then put bal
lot in the box. Watson, he says. sug-
gested to the witness that he put in one
for L. Nick. Jacks, who was also out OF
town. That Davis refused to do, but
according to Davis, Watson again urged
him to do SO, saying that he would
count 1000 like that in Norfolk.
Watson took the witness stand by
privilege. He denied that he had
voted anyone except himself and stated
that he was merely joking with Davis.
Jacks appears to have been voted at
the election, but Tabb does not.
Numerous witnesses were produced
during the day to prove that they had
not voted as recorded. Many we're not
at home on election day, and there was
testimony to show that others who are
recorded as voting we're absent, The
usual quota of dead ones was also pro-
duced as having voted.
Two ministers OF Portsmouth, DR..
R. B. Garrett and Rev. R. M. Maxey,
were recorded as having voted. Both
OF them testified that they had not.
DR.. Garrett stated that he knew also
that Rev. D. r. Harris, recorded as
voting, could not have done SO, as he
no longer lives in Portsmouth, and was
not there election day.
Another sensation was sprung when
counsel called for Young, the holder
OF the certificate Of nomination for
Congress, to take the witness stand,
and then for Maynard, who is contest
ing Young's nomination. Young was
present but. through counsel, stated
that it was not for the contestce to take
the stand before the contestant. Citi-
zens' counsel conceded the point aud
called for Maynard. Maynard was not
present. Both candidates will be called
again today.
Counsel desired to quiz both men as
to what moneys they had spent in the
congressional campaign, neither OF
them having yet filed statements giving
them as required by law They are
nov apparently subject to fine for not
having done SO. The law limits the
spending OF money in Virginia cleo
tons.

ditiOn.

Rochester, Mimi, Sept. 30.-Sena-
tor Robert NJ. LaFollette, OF Wiscon-
sin, is believed to be in critical condi-
ton. He arrived in Rochester late
last night and retired to his room in

is likely that an operation will be per-
formed this afternoon.

for some time, as his health was con-
siderably improved. Yesterday he left
Madison hurricdly.

New York Democrats.

Rochester, N. y, Sept. 30.-Thc
fight for control OF New York state
is to be fought out on national issues.
The high cost of living, and the opera.
ton Of the tariff bill. will be the real
issue raised by the democrats to defeat
Theodore Roosevelt's nominee, former
District Attorney Stimson.
This was absolutely decided on at a
conference early today OF the various
democratic leaders. Because OF this
fact the big party leaders spent con-
siderable time framing the tariff plank
and it was agreed that it should be
radical in tone, but also that it
should discuss at great length the tariff
question. The message OF Grover
Cleveland written in 1881, in which he
insisted thata tariff for revenue only, :"
was the salvation of the country, was
agreed on by the platform committee.
1t was later decided to delay nomi-
nations until O'Clock tonight, if lead
ers can make up their minds by that
time. If not, the convention will go
over into tomorrow.
Rochester, n. Y, Sept. 30.-Flnd-
ing the leaders unable to agree upon
candidates to nominate for the state
officers, Charles II. Murphy sent word
to convention hall at 80 to call the
democratic convention TO order at 2:l5.
He told Judge Parker TO have the
permanent organization perfected, and
then adjourned the convention until S
o'clock tonight.
The convention was called to order
at 1926 D. M, when Herbert P. Bissell,
permanent chairman, took the plat
form and attacked republican extrava'
gAnce, and charged the tariff with the
high cost Of living.
