 sylvania's >lans.

Toledo, O., AugG S.-The showing made by the first national convention of the progressive party, Colonel Roosevelt said tonight, on his way to Oyster Bay was one which in, his opinion would give the country a new impression of the strength of the movement and lend impetus at the outset to the campaign.
 Tt was a great week" said the colonel Tt was great convention.
 When the movement to form new party was started, he continued, many of the men who had led the fight against him in the republican convention said no progressive con- vention would be held, or if one was held, 1t would be a failure. By this time he thought. they probably had changed their minds and realized they made a mistake at the republican convention Even the leaders in the new party, he saiG, were surprised of the size and character of the con- yention.
 Colonel Roosevelt says he had read parts of Woodrow Wilson's speech oi yesterday, but he declined to com ment on it.
 Before leaving Chicago the colone discussed the Mississippi waterways project with a delegation from Mis- souri, in which were l.. A. Ellis, pro gressiye state chairman, and Judge s. D. Norton, w K.

 Colonel Roosevelt will go at one, to Oyster Bay. He hoped to have ; rest before his campaign trip begins and he would see as few persons al possible at Sagmore Hill.
 When Colonel Rooseyelt's train 1 reached Elkhart, Ind, several hun dred persons were at the station They gave him such noisy welcome that he could not make himself heard. So he spent the time in shaK- ing hands with those who crowded about his car, singling out the chil- dren for especial attention.

HAyTIEN GOVERNMENT PALACE BLOWN UP AND PRESIDENT
 LEcoNTE HAS PERIsHED.
MAY HAVE BEEN ACCIDENT
Believed Large Stores of Arms and Munitions Were Ignlted in Some Manner-Panic Prevails and
 Military in Charge.

Pont au Prince, Hayti, Aug. S.- The national palace vas blown up by a powder explosion and burned to the ground today and the president of the republic, General Leconte, perished. Members of his family who were awakened by the terrible shock, found themselves almost surrounded by flames, but escaped
 The first explosion was followed by others, when the fire reached the cellars of the palace. where a great quantity of ammunition was stored So great was the force of the explo- sions that a number of small cannon, fragments of iron and shells were thrown In all directions. Many palace attendants were killed and it Is esti- mated the casualty list will reach 400 persons, killed or injured.
 For time panic prevailed and the military immediately took charge. The explosions occurred shortly af- ter o'clock in the morning Within an hour the fire, which was confined to the palace. was extinguished, but the structure was a mass of ruins from which 1t will be impossible to recover the body of the president.
 At a joint meeting of the chamber and senate this afternoon General Tancrede Auguste, senator and ex- minister of public works, was named president.
 The death of President Leconte came just as the relations between Santo Domingo and Hayti were strained almost to the breaking point
 The Dominlcans regarded him as the moving spirit in the revolutionary movement now in progress in their own country and the prospective leader of an invading Haytien army now assembling on the border.
 Whether there was plot against Leconte's life or whether he was d victim to the extraordinary precau- ton he had adopted for his own pro- tection has not been learned. He kept a large store of arms and am intuition near his place, where they could he immediately available for his own use in case of revolt.
 A calblegram to the state depart ment from American Minister Fir miss stated simply that the president was killed this morning at o'clock by an explosion of magazines, which destroyed the palace Haytien Min ister Menos had longer dispatch conveying the same information.
 Owing to the flames, no attempt was made to enter the palace ruins in search of the presidents body.
 Minister Menos scouts the idea that the explosion was maliciously done
 At the instance of the state de- partment, Acting Secretary Winthrop ordered the gunboat Nashville from Guantanamo to Port au Prince. a days run, to look after foreign in- terests in case of disturbances.

derly resorts, and he said the best evidence of this was that there was not gambling house in operation Reilly, 1t was reported, criticised se- Terely the methods of the police n getting evidence whtcn was of such a nature. he declared, that the cogf;s could not convict.
 Three other witnesses were Mar garet Rose. Mary Storr and Anna Glatner employees in the household of Jack Rose, who, it is understood testified that Becker sad called ai Roses house practically every day for six months previous to the mur- der.
 They were unable to corroborate, it was said that it was Roses state ments that they had seen him pay Becker cash which he said he col lected for the police lieutenant from gambling houses.
 Another witness was Giovanni Stanch, who saw the murder, and who is regarded by the prosecution as one Of the most important of all the witnesses thus far subpoenaed. It was said that his testimony was of such a nature as to assure the dis trict Attorney that he has a strong case against the four men charged with being the actual murderers, "Gyp the Blood. and his crew.
 Mrs. Rosenthal made her second appearance before the grand jury to- day and 1t is understood added much to her story of the alleged graft re- lations between her husband and Becker
 Jack Sullivan, the newsboy, charged with complicity in the murder was today removed from the tombs to the West Side prison and placed in a cell adjoining that of Rose, "Bridgie' Webber and Harry Vallon. The ex- planation given for the change was that while in the Tombs Sullivan had been under the influence of Becker and has shown no uisposition to tell anything of his alleged part in the murder plot 1t was hoped that under the influence of Rose and Webber, who have confessed, Sullivan might become more talkatiye.
 It is expectet the grand jury will hand down indictments in the mur- der case when 1t meets next Tues day. Although the district attorney will seek the indictment of certain high police officials for extortion, it is likely to be several weeks before this phase of the situation reaches climax

BASKET SHORTAGE IS FEARED
Extraordinary Peach Crop Causes Unusual Demand at Van Buren.

Van Buren, Ark, Aug. S-While Iron Moutain officials say that the fruit car shortage is at an end, the growers in this vicinity are facing another situation just as serious in tue basket shortage with which they are threatened. They have only a few baskets ahead and If baskets or dered form the north should fail to arrive promptly it would result in great loss. Prices here are steadily advancing.
 The recent cold snap is working to the advantage of the growers, for the fruit rIpens more slowly, thereby not only adding to the quality of the peach, but also preventing a glut oi the markets. The movement is now about half through. a total of 2,l10 cars having been shipped out of this section so far.
