LAFAYETTE. Ind.. Sept. IS. "Within two months the Northwestern Traction Company will have cars running on it system from Lafayette to Indianapolis.' said J. B. Reed, of the Townsend-Reed Company, who was in this city to-day. The ballasting and finishing touches on the eastern division were completed last night, aud to-day two locomotives, twentythree construction cars and a large force of men were brought here from Lebanon. Mr. Reed came with the outfit and made arrangements to run the construction cars over the Belt line tracks, which parallel the right of way of the traction company for some distance. Rails are now being laid from this city to Dayton, which is on the division of the Northwestern from this city to Krankfort The rails are already laid four miles west of Frankfort, so that only ten miles of steel remains to be laid to complete the link between Lafayette aud Indianapolis. Mr. Reed said this morning that preparations are being made to open the entire road in November. The power house at Lebanon is one of the best equipped in the country, and Is fully prepared to furnish an abundance of current to operate the entire system. The car builders have been delayed with their contract for passenger equipment, but the company has assurance that all cars will be delivered inside of six weeks. Beginning with to-day the working headquarters will be in Lafayette. Mr. Reed will spend most of his time here, and material will be delivered to this city. The company's forces have been concentrated on he Lafayette division, and its early completion is now assured beyond peradwnture.

President Roosevelt was the guest of honor to-niyht at the annual dinner of the SeawanhakaCorinthlan Yacht Club at its handsome and spaiious home on Center island, in Oyst?r Bay. While many men prominently iden tified with yachting in the East were pres- ; ent and the dinner was a handsome and delightful affair, as a function it was not so elaborate as the dinner committee originally had planned. The President gave the club to understand that he could not attend the dinner if it was to be made a great banquet with many invited guests outside of the club membership. It was intended to have among those in attendance Sir Thomas Lipton and , members? of his party now sojourning in this country and large number of distinguish d army and navy officers, all of whom were to be inritod to meet the President. This plan did not meet the President's approval and the list of guests was curtailed. An invitation was sent to Sir Thomas Lipton. but he was unable to accept on account of UlMOS and because of his engagements in the West. Immediately after the arrival of the President the guests, who numbered about one hundred, sat down to dinner. It was an informal affair, the various courses being interspersed with spngs by glee clubs, in which nearly all the guests Joined. Vice Commodore William J. Mathesun, of the Sea wanhaka Yacht Club, was master of t eremonies. He introduced President Roosevelt, who was received with great applause, all the guests standing. The President spoke in part as follows: "It is a pleasure to be with you. 1 enjoy being with you, and I enjoy listening to the glee clubs. I always feed when I visit you that I am here under false pretenses, for in yachting matters I am at the feet of Gamaliel (indicating Commodore Bourne, who sat at his left.) 1 like to see a man play himself, and not hire some one to play for him. This club Is prominent for sports, in which the masters themselves take an active part, while others hire men to do for them. I feel that this club stands as a type of sporting club conspicuous for manliness and decency. You ought to be encouraged, but 1 do not think you need encouragement. "During the past summer all have been deeply interested in the international yacht races. It was eighteen years ago when the first of the single-stickers came to begin that great due 1 which has been a ture of yachting in this country during ail these years. It is not wise to boast when we put our armor on, but rather when we put our armor off. It is a curious fact that not only has our boat won the championships, but every race of the series. We owe a debt of gratitude to the designers, the captains and the seamen who contributed to the winning of the races by the American boats. "Now. I am going to ask you to drink to the health of all our gallant opponents of the last eighteen years, and especially to the health of Sir Thomas Lipton, whom we had hoped to have with us to-night. " At this mention of Sir Thomas Lipton's name the guests rose and cheered enthusiastically and the toast was drunk with equal spirit. Commodore Bourne spoke briefly. He said it was unfortunate that when Sir Thomas Linton was aliout to leave this country with ouly pleasant memories, even at his defeat, he should be confined to a sick bed in Chicago. "I know that Sir Thomas appreciates the kindliness of our sentiments towards him, but if there are four leaves to that clover, or shamrock, of his, and if he wants to come over aud try it again. 1 assure you no one would be more welcome." Commodore- Bourne expressed the opiniot. that the limit of perfection in ninety-footers had been reached. 8uch boats, he said, are merely racing machines, and really afford the yachtsmen themselves little opportunity to demonstrate their abilities. He expressed the hope that iu some future international race another type of yacht might be entered. Just before the dote of the dinner the following message was sent to Sir Thomas Lipton: "At the annual dinner to-night of the Seawanhaka-Corinthlau Yacht Club there were unanimous expressions of disappointment over your Illness and regret at your sbsenCO- President Roosevelt proposed your health and expressed best wishes for your speedy recovery.'' o BACK TO OYSTER BAY. President Returns from His Trip to Antletam Field. OYSTER BAY. L. L, Sept. 18. President Roosevelt's party arrived here on the naval yacht Sylph at 10:30 o'clock a. m., the run from New York having consumed nearly three hours. The President and party went aboard the naval tug Narketa at JerseyCity soon after 7 o'clock this morning to be conveyed to the New York Yacht Club landing, where they went aboard the Sylph. The party breakfasted on the vessel and soon after started for Oyster Bay. The first callers received by the President after returning from his Antietam trip were John W. Suetterle, president of the National Saengerfest, who presented an invitation to the President to attend the Saengerfest to be held in Milwaukee next July. The President could not give Mr. Suetterle a definite answer to-day, but indicated that he probably would not be able to accept the Invitation. The presidential campaign will be In progress at that time, and the President's attention likely will be absorbed in that work. Gov. William H. Hunt, of Porto Rico, called to pay hit respects to the President before returning to his post. He will sail for San Juan in a few days. J. H. C. Jones, of Boston. Mass.. a personal friend of the President, was his guest at luncheon. Among the callers on the President this afternoon were J. O. Thompson, internal revenue collector for AHtnuno, and Capt. Charles Scott, two of t e three Alabama advisers of the administration. They had a long conference with the President. Eight or ten important federal appointments are to be made in A In bain a within a fewmonths. These were discussed at to-day's conferer.c Some of the nominations will be sent to the Senate soon after Congress conveti s in extraordinary session. ARMY AND NAVY ORDERS. Army. First Lient.

Sept. .-Considerable intereel was created among Pittsburg bankers to-day by the announcement that the Second X.itii nal Rank of Connellsville, Pa., one of the strongest institutions of the coke reglou. had decided on Tuesday to hereafter pay I per cent. Interest on savings accounts. The purpose of the officials is to induce those who have been hoarding wealth at home to place the money in banks. I'nusual demand for money inspired the launching of the new plan. It is claimed that the action of the Connellsville bank in paying 5 per cent, is the tirst taken since the rebellion by any banking institution in the Cnited States. Pittsburg bankers do not fear any disturbance of money conditions as a result of the increased rate. FIRST TIME SINCE 1864 TWO I If Dl All A SOMMERS MEET IN THE DEPOT AT MARION.

HANNA IS CHALLENGED

WOl MI-BE SENATOR CLARKE ANXMVI FOR 1 JOINT DEBATE. Alm Nays lit Will Lt the Public Know the Day Before Election Day the Coat of His Campaign. MR. DICK S REPLY TO MR. SALEN CAMPAIGN BOOKS OF REPUBLICANS OPKi TO INSPECTION. Democratic Proposition to Publith ExpenajfM ... tiiru tu t DeiuHu;oacie in View of Party's Record. NORWALK, O.. Sept. IS. John II. Clarke, Democratic candidate for United States senator from Ohio, in a speech to-night formally challenged Senator Hanna to meet him In joint dehnte on the issues of the campaign. Mr. Clarke said in part: "I have been asked so frequently during the la.st two weeks whether there would I be a joint discussion of the issues of this campaign between Senator Hanna and myself that l desire to say puhttely to-nigh, that it would be extremely agreeable to HM to meet Senator Hanna if his health will permit In joint discussion of the issu. i which we represent. Permit me to add, gentlemen, that 1 am prefoctly willing that tii" senator shall name the times and places for such meetings, bubjtct to only one. condition, namely, that they be held in the close legislative districts of the State." Referring to the recent proposal of 'n; irmau S;i!'-n. of the Democratic state executive committee, made to Chairman Dick. Of the Republican committee, that campaign expenditures on both sides be limited, a no that each committee publish a sworn ttateatent just prior to election, showing the i -tal amount thus expended, Mr. Clarice said he greatly favored the plan. "1 here and now publicly pledge myself' continued Mr. Clarke, "to make such statement, as proposed by Mr. Saien. ot all expenditures made by nie or with my knowledge, directly or indirectly, without reservation of any character, in my campaign for 1'nitcd States senator, and to procure, as far as possible, its publication in the newspapers of the State on or before Sunday morning. Nov. 1, regardless of what (Jeneral Dick t answer may be. "There are more than enough men in the Senate of the Cnited States now who are suspected, justly or unjustly, of having obtained their positions by questionable methods and means. Not under any circumstances will I permit myself to be added to that number. I believe i am of rtrm enough fiber to refuse even a certificatt i election were it tendered me if tainted with suspicion of its having been obtained by improper use of money, and to the end that no such suspicion shall be attached to mv election if I shall be successful in this canvass I make this public declaration of my intentions." Challeng-e Must Be Formal. COLUMBUS. O.. Sept. 18. Senator Hanna was seen at his rooms at the Chittenden Hotel to-night in regard to the challenge carried in the above dispatch from Norwalk. The Senator said: "I must refer it to my commander, Chairman Dick," who sat near by. When Chairman Dick had been apprised of Mr. Clarke's challenge he said: "In the management of a political campaign no attention is usually paid to stump speech challenges. Such affairs are arranged through the chairman of the committees interested. If Mr. Clarke, through Charles P. Salen, chairman of the Democratic State executive committee, will formally challenge Senator Hanna to' discussion of I he political IntlMI before the people, I will take cognizance of such a challenge and reply to it, as occasion may warrant." Senator Hanna followed: "Clarke cannot make any votes by that sort of a bluff." DICK REPLIES TO SALEN. Demoerats Responsible for Repeal of the (.nrfteld ( orrnpt Practice Aet. COLUMBUS. O.. Sept. lS.-Oen. Charles Dick, chairman of the Republican state executive committee, in a statement issued thiB afternoon declines to entertain a proposition submitted by Charles P. Salen, chairman of the Democratic state committee, that itemized statements of expenditures incident to the campaign be kept by each committee and that the samt be published under affidavit on the Saturday preceding the election. Mr. Salen's proposition also provided that similar sworn statements be published by the respective candidates for Governor and United States senator. Referring to the Garfield corrupt practices act, recently repealed, which made such statements compulsory, Chairman Dick says: "The only party organization and candidates carefully and conscientiously complying with the provisions of that law were those of the Republican party. The law was repealed by the last legislature, the bill for its its repeal being introduced by Mr. Dcvaul. the Democratic representative from Monroe county, a large majority of Democrats voting for it. There was no request from the Republican state committee for its repeal. That committee was willing to comply with the provisions of tne law so long as it remained In force. There was no public demand for its repeal. My observation is that there has been no public demand for its re-enactment. Therefore, it is logical to conclude the public has little or no direct interest in the matter. "Since your party did not comply with the law when it was in force, I cannot now understand your great anxiety to carry out its provisions after It has been repealed. So far as the Republican stae committee is concerned, its books are open to the inspection of all whose business it is to examine them. Beyond this the committee declines to go. believing there Is no adequate reason or call for making public its affairs. We believe that by reason of the faithful compliance with the law during the past seven years the public mind has been disabused of the suspicions that the Republican state organization is given to corrupt methods in the use of money."

The Turks slaughtered indiscriminately Bulgarians and Greeks, men, women and children. A Turkish war balloon is reported to have been seen hovering for the last three days close to the Bulgarian frontier in the vicinity of Haskovo. A severe fight has occurred at Snlavitza in the mountains of Kratova between MM Turks and eighty insurgents. It continued for eight hours. The insurgents used bombs with deadly effect. About KO Turks are reported to have been killed and many were wounded. The insurgents had two men wounded. A fight is also reported to have taken place at Bupelpaso. near Seres, Insurgent band? recently surrounded and annihilated a whole company of Turks. The bands then lied to the mountains. Three battalions of Turkish troops have been sent from Salonica to pursue them. A small body of peasant refugees, near Presby, who were starving in the mountains, stalled to seek food. At Nakaletz they wur I met by Turkish soldiers who killed them all, and horribly mutilated two women A distinctly optimistic tone now pervades government and diplomatic circles here and hopes are again expressed that war may after all be averted. From London und Constantinople encouraging news has been received. From London it is rumored that the British government will send a fleet to Turkith wsters. while reportt from Constantinople say that Great Britain.
