clauses of this and other great eitle. I thank you for your good wishes for myself and my house. I cordially share your aspiration that It may be granted me by the same divine providence which preserved my life from imminent danger to reign over my flrmly established and peaceful empire and in the loyal hearts of my contented and prosperous people." The Interior of the gTeat hall of the Guildhall presented a brilliant scene. It was filled with members of the royal family and diplomats, officers and officials, all in full uniform with their breasts biasing with orders. The King's rply to the address in the Guildhall was much on the same lines ss his speech st Trafalgar square. After lunch the common crier called for a toast for his Majesty, the King, and Mme. Albani. stationed in one of the galleries, sang the national anthem. In which the whole company Joined. After other formal toasts the party left the hall, the procession reformed and It restarted on Its progress across the river. The pageant traversed several miles of streets or. the Surrey side of the River Thames. There was no special Incident, though the heartiness of the welcome far transcended anything heard In the more aristocratic portions of the route. Their Majesties returned to the palace at 3:30 p. m. - FIRE IN THE GULDHALL.

Mach Excitement Caused by the Outbreak Little Damage. LONDON. Oct. 25. The Guildhall caught fire shortly after their Majesties left the building. The outbreak caused intense excitement. A large number of engines and fire escapes dashed up, scattering the crowds which still remained in the streets. I nder any circumstances a fire at the Guildhall, which contains priceless city relics and an immense library, would have caused a commotion, but occurring so near WEATHER FORECAST.

ly in conjunction with the King's visit the j feeling of alarm was intensified. Many

mem rers of the corporation and a number of visitors were still in the precincts when the alarm was given. These hurriedly departed to make way for several hun.ir"! firemen, who dragged ladders over the crimson cloth on which the King had so recently walked. Crowds of servants, removing the luncheon debris and carrying gold cups and other signs of the feast, rushed hurriedly to and fro amid the police, soldiers and aldermen wearing their costly robes. Several of the firemen expressed the belief that the fire was smoldering while King Edward was actually at luncheon. Within a few minutes efter the fire alarm had been sent out the pinnacle of the gray dome of the Guildhall was a mass of shining brass, composed of the helmets of the firemen, who had clambered up and commenced hacking away with axes, being apparently unable to get a the trouble f' m the inside. The Are is said to have been caused by a fusel wire. - It was soon extinguished. CLERGY MAX IX TKOIDLF, Rclinrlons Enthusiast Who Wanted to Blow I p Somethlnx. LONDON, Oct. 25,-George Martin, a clergyman, was remanded at the Southwark Police Court to-day. charged with having a pound of gunpowder In his possession with felonious intent. He is a religious enthusiast who objected to the erection of a royal show stand around St. George's Church, in the borough, and who purchased a small quantity of gunpowder. Insufficient to do real damage. He will probably be placed In an asylum. The Rev. Mr. Martin was arrested at the time of the coronation of King Edward for a similar escapade and he was also arrested at Buckingham Palace, where he was demanding an audience with the King on the subject of the erection of a stand around St. George's Church. When taken into custody to-day he made no s. or. t of his intention to cause damage with the powder. HANNA RAPS JOHNSON SAYS THE CLEVELAND DEMAGOGIE IS AN UNTRUTHFUL. MAN. Ohio's Senator Does Not Want a Perpetual Franchise Democracy's Factional Plant. CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 25. Senator Hanna spoke in a tent here to-night on state issues. After going into the question of the relations of capital and labor, much along the lines that he has followed during the present campaign, Mr. Hanna said: The best efforts of my life will be devoted to the establishment of a cordial relationship between capital and labor and to the cause of bringing the Interests of the laboring man to a higher plane of citizenship. I have in recent years been so abused and so brutally caricatured that it is no wonder the people do not know me. While I stand before an audience of my fellow-citizens and before my God, I want to be belle - I. This is because I never did nor never will tell anything but the truth. I will never sink to the depths of misrepresentation for your vote. I would never do this any more than I would cheat In business, and God knows I never did that. I do not want to descend to the depths as does Tom Johnson, a pure and simple demagogue. He is going about telling you barefaced lies. He says that 1 want a perpetual franchise for the little consolidated streetrailway system. That is a lie, and he knows it. I never asked for a perpetual franchise and do not want one." DEMOCRATIC 'HARMONY. Factional Feeltni Intensified by Johnson's Attacks on McLean. CINCINNATI, Oct. 25. Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, who is recognised as the leader of the Democratic campaign in Ohio this year, although not himself a candidate at this time for anything, closed his stand of three days here to-night with another crowded tent. He had meetings this afternoon and evening in different parts of the city and at all the rallies denounced John R. McLean, both as a leader of the Democracy and as publisher of the Enquirer. The meetings in Johnson's tent here this week have intensified factional feeling beyond anything of the kind ever known before in Ohio campaigns. The Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow, who heads the Democratic State ticket for secretary of state, and who has appeared with Johnson at his Cincinnati meetings, was equally sev ere in repeatedly reading McLean and the Enquirer out of the party, and more severe than Johnson in denouncing Lewis G. Bernard, chairman of the Democratic committee of this county. Bigelow declared tonight that he would not accept the office if he should be elected by Bernard's vote. NO CAUSE FOR FRICTION. Relations of the Southern Pacific and Its Employes. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 25. Despite the persistent rumors of impending trouble between the Southern Pacific Railroad and its employes there seems lltrie disposition among the officials of the system to worry over the situation. Julius Kruttschnltt. general manager of the Southern Pacific, and assistant to t le president, said to-day regarding the attitude of tho company toward the men: "Some of the statements which have been made In the past few davs are without foundation, and others have distorted facts. In the first place the relations between the Southern Pacific and its men have not been more pleasant than they are at present. There is no friction nor Is there any cause for friction. It is true that there are grounds for negotiations, but It Is not true that these negotiations are In any way likely to lead to any trouble whatever between the company and Its men." Higher Wsgrs Granted. BLOOMINGTON. 111., Oct. 5 -Chicago & Alton officials notified all shop employes of the system to-day that the request for a general advance In wages had been granted and that commencing Nov. 1 an increase would be paid. The advance averages 2 cents per hour for each employe and will increase the monthlv payroll fully $10,000. Officials say that "the new scale Is higher than Is generallly paid and they believe that it will result In giving them the highest grade mechanics in the country. Will Continue to 1 se Oil. OAKLAND. Cal., Oct. 25. The published statement that the Southern Pacific Intends changing baek to coal as fuel is discredited by officials at the West Oakland yards. The reason assigned for the desire to change baek to coal in that the oil burns out the fire boxes and closes the flues with bituminous deposits. The statement has some truth in it. but it does not Justify the assertion that oil will be abandoned. A 'Frisco Line Extension. GUTHRIE, O. T..

DEMOCRATS ARE SCARED

REPI HI. MAN ARE MAKIXG RIG GAUS Di LA PORTE COIXTV. Senator Reverldge I nable to Speak at IM n ff ton Decision in Political MauduniHi Case Other Politics. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAPORTE. Ind.. Oct. 25.-That the Democrats of Laporte county are frightened and fear for the success of the greater part of their ticket at the November election is becoming more apparent each day. During the past week the situation has improved materially for the Republicans and although they are confident of electing a large share of the county ticket, they are not giving up working, but are doing all In their power to maintain and increase the advantage which they have. For the purpose of turning the tide of Republicanism, which, because of the prosperous Republican times, is sweeping everything before it, the Democratic organs of Laporte county published a story, early in the week, that the Republican state committee had dumped several thousand dollars in the cities of Laporte and Michlgan City, to be used in securing the election of the county ticket and principally to insure the election of the Republican Joint representative from Starke and Laporte counties and the return to the House of Representative R. B. Short from Laporte county, as their votes would be needed in the election to the Senate again of Charles V. Fairbanks. So strong, however, did the persons in whose brains this story originated make it that it fell fiat and failed to produce the sensation or effect looked for. The Republican party managers hardly found it necessary to deny the absurd "slush fund" story, as the Uemocratlc press termed it, as the effect was reactionary and the Democrats were glad to drop it. The Democratic orators In the county are trying to lay great stress on the alleged reunited condition of the party here in the hope that it will keep in line some of the Democrats who have a tendency to wander into the Republican csmp. The fact is there is more dissatisfaction in tne Democratic ranks this year than for years, due entirely to local conditions and the paramount fact that under Republican administrations the people have been unusually prosperous. A comparison of the meetings held shows the Republican meetings as a rule to be better attended than those of the Democrats. The Republicans have had no large demonstrations in the county this week, but the Democrats held last night what was intended to be the principal rally of the campaign in Laporte. Captain Guthrie, of Montlcello, the opponent of E. D. Crumpacker for Congress, was the speaker, but the meeting was flat and lacked enthusiasm. Iay"s Hall, which seats 200 on the ground Boor and 15u in the galleries, was used. Onefourth of the seats on the main floor were unoccupied and two-thirds of the cha'rs in the galleries were empty. Tlu size of tne crowa was a great disappointment to tho managers, as well as to the speaker. When Mr. Crumpacker appeared here early in the campaign he spoke at Hall's Opera House, which seats 900 and which on that occasion was almost filled. Senator Fairbanks, in the same hall, had a packed house. Guthrie claims that centralization of power is the main issue in this campaign, all other questions being subsiduary. His address is no different than the genercl run of Democratic stump speeches this fall. He harps on the trusts and the Republican policy in the Philippines, tried to imitate Senator Fairbanks, who addressed himself in his Laporte speech more especially to the young men by saying that he wanted the boys" to remember this and the boys" to note this point. He made one fatal admission when he said the only anti-trust l twa ever passed by Congress were passed when the Republicans were in power. Consternation has been produced in the ranks of the Democratic party in the county by the fact that a number of very influential members of that party are openly working for the success of the Republican county ticket. The "still hunt" plan is being followed pretty well bv both parties there being but few large demonstrations. ' DISAPPOINTMENT AT BLIFFTON Caused by the Cancellation of Senator Revcridge'a Engagements. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLUFFTON, Ind.. Oct. 25.-The Inability of Senator Beveridge to appear here this afternoon on account of throat trouble was a keen disappointment to a great crowd which had been drawn to this city expressly for the purpose of seeing him and hearing him speak. The announcement that he had been obliged to cancel the engagement was not rhade known until late Jn the forenoon and the committee immediately made arrangements to secure Judge Hiram Brownlee, of Marion, who arrived at noon. Judge Brownlee spoke at 1-30 o'clock in the Circuit Court room and so great was the crowd that not one-half of those who deslreXl to hear him were able to secure even standing room. He spoke for an hour and was followed with the closest attention. He was frequently applauded The crowd was the largest that has been in BlufTton this fall and the gathering was the most enthusiastic political meeting held in WelUs county during the present campaign. The crowd was composed largely of farmers, who were even more sorely disappointed than the Republican leaders over 8enator Beveridge' s nonappearance. Anjnnri oifc mee ii uk win De neia next Frldav when Representative Cromer will be in DIUUIUU, NO ASSESSOR IN WELLS. Decision hy Qudaje Vauarhn In Wells County Mandamus Case. Special to th Indianapolis Journal. BLUFFTON, Ind., Oct. 26.-Judge E. C. Vaughn caused great surprise to-day when he rendered his decision in the mandamus proceedings brought a few days ago by Democratic County Chairman J. H. C. Smith, socking to compel the county election commissioners to place the name of John French on the ballots as Democratic candidate for county assessor. His decision was to the effect that no county assessor could be elected this year and that French who is the incumbent of the office and seeking re-election, was illegally elected In Uss, and that, therefore, there is a vacancy in tho office at present. He states further that it is the duty of the County Commissioners to declare a vacancy by reason of the illegal election and to ttil the office by appointment. In giving his decision Judge Vaughn cites as authority the law now in force which provides for the election of county assessors every four years, beginning with the year 1892. By some curious mistake Mr French's predecessor held the office six years, from 1892 to 1898. and the Illegal nature of the election of Mr. French was not luaue Known unm me present suit brought. IIENDEE AT ORESTES. Oreat fleeting Addressed hy the Anderson Candidate for Senator. Special to th Indianapolis Journal. ORESTES. Ind., Oct. 25.-Edgar E.

NEW ALBANY. Ind., Oct. 26-The opening of the Democratic campaign In this city last night was a dismal failure. By actual

count 123 m'n and bovs were In the opera house when W..V. Rooker, of Indianspolis, the speaker of the evening, was Introduced. He devoted his speech to the subject of trusts. On account of the small attendance at the county meetings they habeen abandoned by the Democrats. Although this county is normally Democratic, the Republican candidates believe they will carry it.

Gooil Work ia Putnam. Special to the Indlai.apoll Journal. RUSSELL VILLE, Ind., Oct. 25. -The largest meeting of the campaign in this citywas held at the opera house last night. The weather was fine and a large crowd from the city and surrounding- country turned out. John T. Ellis, of Anderson, spoke. The audience listened with close attention for two hours to a fine Republican speech. The Republican county organi zatlon is in excellent shape and in spite of a usual Democratic plurality in Putnam will make a good showing at the election. Good Prospects in Pike. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PETERSBURG. Ind., Oct. 25. Representative James A. Hemenway and George A. Cunningham, Republican district chairman, spoke to an immense audience in the courthouse last night. Republican prospects in Pike county are very bright. Mr. Hemenway will receive the united support of the laboring fit nana ONE VICTIM WILL DIE.

Evanavllle Policeman Found Not Guilty of Killing Mrs. Ralley. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. EVANS VILLE, Ind., Oct. 26. -Wilbur S. Sherwell was acquitted to-night of the murder of Mrs. Georgia Railey, for which he has been on trial since last Monday morning. The verdict was returned at 11 o'clock after the Jury had been out nearly five hours. While the verdict does not coincide with the popular opinion, which long ago decided that Sherwell was guilty, it meets general approval as being In accordance with the evidence in the trial. Sherwell went into ecstacies when the verdict was announced- Mrs. Sherwell, who has been a faithful attendant at the trial, was almost delirious with joy. The crowd of a thousand or more assembled in the courtroom cheered lustily for at least three minutes. Two indictments for the murders of Lena Renner and Fannie Butler are still pending against Sherwell, but it is the common belief that they will be nolliedE. C. Henning made the opening address this morning for the defense. He went into detail to show the alleged weakness of the State in its efforts to connect Sherwell with the Railey woman on the evening she was murdered. His address lasted nearly two hours. City Attorney Albert W. Funkhouser, leading counsel for the prisoner, Sherwell, made the closing address for the defense. Mr. Funkhouser is one of the silvertongued orators of southern Indiana. He swayed the great audience perceptibly and at times some of the women present were almost hysterical. C. A. De Bruler closed for the State, devoting his attention to specific refutations of Mr. Funkhouser's statements. EVANS VILLE-ROCKPORT LINE. Work Is Hein Pushed on the Surveys. Which Are Nearly Completed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. EVANSVILLEf Ind., Oct. 25. Surveys are almost complete for the extension of the Evansville, Suburban & Newburg line to Rockport, a distance of twenty-three miles, and if present plans are carried out the work of constructing the extension will be begun early next spring. The line at present traverses a distance of ten miles through the richest agricultural section of Vanderburg and Warrick counties to Newburg. It is the line of transportation to Woodrnere, the Southern Hospital for the Insane. It is operated with dummy locomotives and the intention Is to continue the use of them after the extension is finished, although i? It la wished to change tne motive power to electricity it can be done at a small cost. Rockport Is the county seat of Spencer county and has no direct rail communication with Evansville. The extension of the dummy line has been debated at various times, but never until now has It been pushed so far. It was planned two years ago to have the Indianapolis Southern enter Evansville over the line and if the Erojected line from the state capital is uilt It is probable that it will absorb the interurban line. F. W. Cook, a brewer of this city, is president of the E., S. & N. Ry. Surveying; the Ohio Valley Line. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MADISON, Ind., Oct. 25. The Ohio Valley Traction Company's surveyors, ten in number, from Covington, Ky., passed through Milton, Ky., opposite Madison, today, going over the route along the river. B. F. Layman Is engineer in charge. This is the same route over which Colonel Albert 8. Berry and party made the trip a few months ago. I INDIANA INIVERSITY. College Politics and Class Election. Were the Week's Features. Spacia) to ths Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 25.-College politics and class elections have been most prominent features at Indiana University this week. The senior class election went off quietly enough and on the cut and dried plan. Jesse H. White, of CTawfordsvllle, was declared president by acclamation. He is a strong student, doing his major work in the department of philoso phy. Among the student body he has beenJ popular and at present he is president of the Independent Literary Society. Other senior class officers are: vice president, Claude G. Henderson, Vincennes; secretary, Josephine Abel Seymour; treasurer, John P. King, Wabash. Fred S. Purnell, of Veedersburg, was chosen track captain, and Will R. Sieber, of Camden, to fill the vacancy on the Arbutus board, which superintends the publication of the year book. The Junior election was marked with much enthusiasm and several candidates were put in the field. The election resulted in choosing Jacob Chambers, of Williamsport, for president; Hannah Book, Princeton, secretary; Anna Carr. Anderson, treasurer; Morley Caldwell, Lebanon, poet; Karl Thomas. Bloomington. historian; Homer Cotten. Zioiisville. orator. Some little movement has been made thlR week towards reorganising the basketball team. Harry Ayera. 04, is captain of this year's team. The old men that will try for the team this year are Drlesback. Shockleton. Cantwell. Coval and Clevenger. A few hours' practice has been carried on this week and indications are that a good team will be put out. A new phase of basketball will l.t. the organization of irl teams rrom the different classes and also i the various student organisations. A 'var- ' Sity team will be picked from these teams and will pliy the girl teams of other institutions. To the best class team a pennant will be awarded at the close of the season. This is stirring up some enthusiasm in tho student body and especially among the girls, who are heartily ready to indorse the plan. However, on the other hand, there ia some opposition to the propriety of such games for public amusement. The Dunn Meadow Goir Club will be at the sport In a few dsye. Much Interest was shown in tl.ls game here last season and it Is thought a strong organisation will be perfected soon. Chapel exercises this week have been specially Interesting. Dr. J. Cumming Smith, of Indianapolis, and pastor of the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, spoke Tuesday. On Thursday Judge D. H. Raid win. of I.oaransport. delivered an address entitled '"We Must Pay " He also spoke before the lam- school on "The Law and the Young Practitioner." and gave some splendid advice to the young lawyers. President Bryan and Dr. Johnson returned this week from Evanston, where they went to attend the Installation of Prof. James as the eleventh president of Northweatern University. Dr. Bryan occuled the pulpit of the Baptist Church in Ivanston Sunday morning. The biggsst social feature now in sight Is the Junior hop, which Is to be held sometime next week. The class of '08 thought

it had set the pace when last year they gave a junior promenade, but the class of '04. desirins to h morp nrnrrpivp than

Oct. 25.-EarlhanVs victory last year in the state oratorical contest has resulted in the manifestation of much enthusiasm along that line this year. Prof. E. P. Trueblood's plan of primary class contests preceding the college contest has been very successful in sifting , out the best material for the final college contest. The sonhomores held their pri mary yesterday afternoon in the elocution room. A. Hamilton won over Mr Hobbs and C. E. Williams and will represent his -iass in tne college contests. The freshmen will be represented by Mr. Thomas. The Juniors and seniors are entitled to two representatives each. Luther Feager and E. C. Williams will represent the Juniors and A. Martin and George Bond the seniors. The exact time for college contest has not been given out yet. but it will be in the early part of November, so that the representative to the state will have as much time as possible for further drill before the state contest, which comes in January. Earl ham College Notes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND. Ind., Oct. 26.-The next Issue of the Earlhamite, the paper published by the students of Earlham College, will contain a new department. This will be devoted to athelttcs. While the paper has given considerable space to athletic matters, there has never been a special department. It is now felt that the advancement and increased Interest in athletics demands a more thorough and systematic treatment. The department will be in charge of Miss Ethel Woodard and Russell Wright. The entrance of the girls into athletics was also an influence that brought about the determination for the added feature of the publication. Hope is now entertained for the full recovery of President J. J. Mills. For some time past he has shown steady improvement and it now only remains for him to gain strength. A relapse is not considered probable at this period. However, he will not be able to resume his duties before th' opening of the winter term. The Republican Club has been reorganized. Luther M. Feeger was elected temporary chairman and Metron Kirk temporary secretary. The club will take active part in the campaign and Just now is especially Interested in the approaching speech of Senator Albert J. Beveridge In this city on Oct. 30. A constitution is being drafted and a permanent organization will be effected. ENERGY FROM SOLAR RAYS. Evansville Man Says He Can Supply Heat and Power. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. EVANSVILLE, Ind.. Oct. 25. If what a man of this city says Is true, he has discovered an energy which will revolutionize mechaical power and solve the problem of fuel and heat for all time. By a simple device like an electric battery, the construction of which remains his own secret, he says he can extract energy from the rays of the sun and transmit it to motors for mechanical power, or to stoves and furnaces for heat. He claims to have a successfully-working model of the battery. Emmett Greenfield Is the man, and he Is employed as a molder at Mesker's foundry here. He Is forty-live years old. For many years he has been experimenting, so he claims, and now has reached the stage where he can announce to the world that his device is perfect. He will not divulge the nature of the battery, or the principles upon which it reduces the sun's energy to mechanical power, or the nature of the power itself whether it is electrical in character or entirely new to science. In the house where Greenfield boards he has a room filled with experimental batteries and drawings, but no one is ever permitted to enter the room. He says that he will publish a description of the discovery as soon as he has a new model built and entered at the Patent Office. The buttery, he says, is especially adapted to producing Intense heat for smelting purposes. The ideas occurred to him first in connection with the melting of iron, he declares.
