WESTERN TRIP OFF.

Injury Sustained at Pittsfield Ends Roosevelt’s Tour. GOES UNDER KNIFE. Abscess on Leg, Caused by Bruises, Necessitates Slight Operation. President’s Tonr Abandoned at Indianapolis Because of Injuries from Recent Trolley Accident—Wound la Not Serious—Phyaiclana Order Complete Rest, and He la Taken Aboard Special Train and Goes Back to Washington.

Injury which President Roosevelt received in the fatal trolley collision at Pittsfield, Mass., forced him to undergo a surgical operation in Indianapolis Tuesday and brought his western tour to a sudden end. An abscess in his left leg below the knee was treated by the surgeon’s knife at St. Vincent's hospital. Later the President was borne on a stretcher to his train. At 7:45 o’clock the same night he left for Washington. Announcement of the necessity for an operation came as unexpectedly to the public as it was sudden. After arriving iu Indianapolis the President had made a speech and then gone to the Columbia Club for luncheon. During the luncheon the doctors held a consultation and at the end of the meal Secretary Cortelyou gave out the announcement. President Roosevelt, however, made another speech before going to the hospital. Announced by Cortelyou. Secretary Cortelyou’s first official bulletin showing the need for an operation and the plans under way was as follows: “As a result of the trolley accident at Pittsfield, Mass., the President received several serious bruises. One of these, on

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

the left leg between the knee and the ankle, has developed into a small abscess. The President is entirely well otherwise and has continued to meet the several engagements of his itinerary, but in view of the continuance of the abscess and out of an abundance of caution Drs. Oliver and Cook of Indiauapolis were requested to meet Dr. Lung, the President’s surgeon, at Indianapolis, Dr. Richardson of Washington, D. C., being also one of the number. Iu the opinion of the doctors the trouble necessitates an operation which, they think, should be performed at once at St. Vincent’s hospital in this city. "As after the operation the President wip require entire rest, probably for at least ten days or two weeks, it has been necessary to cancel all the remaining cnof this trip, and he will go directly from Indianapolis to Washington.

“The physicians say that the case is not in any way serious and there is no danger whatever. This statement is made so that no false rumors may disturb the people and that they may be authoritatively advised of the exact nature of the case. “GEORGE B. CORTELYOU, “Secretary to the President.” Official Statement of Reault. At 5:45 p. m., after the operation bad been performed, the following official statement was issued: “At 3:15 p. m. the President went from the Columbia dub to St. Vincent’s hospital in bis own carriage and shortly after he was in the hospital the operation required was performed by Dr. George H. Oliver of Indianapo4is, in consultation with the President’s physician. Dr. George A. Lung, and Dr. Gedrge J. Cook, Dr. Henry Jameson and Dr. J. J. Richardson.” At the conclusion of the operation the physicians authorised the following statement: “As a result of the traumnlism (bruise) received in the trolley accident at Pittsfield, Mass., there was found to be a circumscribed collection of perfectly pure serum in the middle thlrd’of the left anterior tibial region, the sac containing about two ounces, which was removed. “The Indications are that the President should make speedy recovery. It is absolutriy imperative, however, that he should remain quiet mid refrain from using the leg. 1110 trouble is not serious, but temporarily disabling. “GEORGE B. CORTELYOU, “Secretary to the President."

All Around the Globe.

President Dias laid the comer stone of the new general postoffice building in the City of Mexico. The building, which is in the new business center of tho city, several blocks from the palace, will be of steel and stone, and will be of notable architecture. In a battle between revenue officers and moonshiners in McDowell Oounty, W. Va, John Wooten, a moonshiner, was killed and John Squires, another moonshiner, seriously wounded. Wil) Rennlck, a revenue officer, was seriously wounded. Eight violators were captured.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE CROPS

Heavy Frost© Do Damage in Northers Portion of the Corn Belt. Following is the Agricultural Department’s weekly crop summary: The week ending Sept. 15 was unusually cool throughout all districts east of the Rocky Mountains, more particularly in the lake region, central valleys and gulf States, with a general absence of rain, or only light precipitation iu the greater part of the area west of the Mississippi river, although heavy rains occurred in portions of Arkansas and Louisiana. Needed rains fell in the Ohio valley, lake region and middle and south Atlantic States, effectually relieving the drouth conditions in those districts. More or less damaging frosts occurred on the 12th, 13th and 14th throughout the Northwest, central valleys and lake region and as far south as Arkansas and the northern portions of Mississippi, Alabama jnd Georgia. The north Pacific coast States continue to need rain, but in other respects the conditions on the Pacific coast were favorable. Late com has been seriously damaged by heavy frosts over the northern portion ©f the corn belt, more especially to the westward of the Mississippi river. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas escaped injury, except in the northern portion, where late corn was damaged. In lowa, northern Nebraska, the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin early corn has been seriously injured. It is estimated that more than one-half the crop In lowa and South Dakota was too far advanced to be seriously hurt, but th© bulk of the remainder has been badly damaged. Much corn has been cut over the southern portion of the corn belt, where a fine crop is assured. The weather conditions have been favorable for thrashing spring wheat throughout the principal spring wheat States, except in North Dakota, where high winds have interrupted this work to some extent. The very cool weather has checked the opening of cotton in the central and western portions of the cotton region. Picking, however, has advanced rapidly generally throughout the belt, and, as a rule, under favorable conditions, although pickers have been inadequate in some States. Over the southern portion of the cotton belt the bulk of the crop has been gathered, and in some sections many fields already are abandoned. Rains have caused damage to open cotton in portions of Arkansas, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida and South Carolina.

PEARY’S SHIP IN PORT.

The Windward, with Explorer on Board, Reaches Sydney, C. B. The Peary Arctic Club steamer Windward, Captain Samuel W. Bartlett, arrived at Sydney, C. 8., Thursday morn-

ing from Cape Sabine. Lieut. Peary on his arrival said: “Our expedition did not reach the north pole, but we made' most important scientific discoveries. We are all well and glad to get back to civilization.” On the Windward with Lieut. Peary were his wife and daughter. Dr. Diddrich, who two years ago left th©

LIEUT. PEARY.

Windward because of a dispute with Peary, was also aboard. He is still th© physician of the expedition. Mrs. Peary is just recovering from a fortnight’s 111iess. Little Marie Peary and the othera are well. Lieut. Peary is the picture of good health after his two years of exploration in the Arctic regions. Peary sent to the club a full report of the operations of the expedition sine© Aug. 9, 1901.

The Political por.

Gen. R. A. Alger, ex-Secretary of War. has announced his willingness to be a candidate for the Senate, tn succeed James McMillan. The Tranamlssisslppi Commercial Congress, In session at St. Paul, adopted resolutions asking the President to oppose the growing power of the trusts. Attention is being directed to an overlooked plank in the Vermont Democratic ptatfoym favoring a law to enable a woman to vote on all questions pertaining to taxation of property of which they are the owners. In reply to Senator Allison's remark that a special session of tho Senate would be called, Senator Hanna said: “It does seem that In view of the promises made something should be done for Cuba, -but the logic of events is annexation.” The press of the country has commented generally on the declaration of W. J. Bryan in the Commoner that we have “a bloodthirsty President.” This criticism was based dn the President's recent West Point speech, in which he said: “A good soldier must not only be willing to fight; he must be anxious to fight” Evidences of serious friction in the management of the American Protective League became public when it was announced that Cornelius N. Bliss, former Secretary of the Interior in the McKinley cabinet, and one of the league's governors, bad resigned, it being understood that his resignation was caused by tho antagonistic attitude of the league toward the Cuban reciprocity policy of PreMdent Roosevelt.

Representative Eddy of Minnesota, speaking of the West’s desire for tariff revision, said: “Every Republican State convention west of the Alleghany mountains has declared for it, and every congressional candidate is pledged to it.” Ho said the Western idea of a protective tariff waa not that It should give protection to monopoly or any form of business we desire to discourage, but to all independent industries, to enable them to compete with similar ones In foreign countries, and when port tariff laws fail in these particulars they should be readfisted.

LAUNCHING OF THE CRUISER DES MOINES.

THE NEW CRUISER DES MOINES.

MISS MACOMBER.

TROOPS AWE STRIKERS.

Thirteenth Regiment Goes Into Camp Near Scranton, Pa. Nine companies of the Thirteenth regiment, ordered out M° ni i a y night, are in camp iu a field near Scranton, Pa. Gen. Gobin said Tuesday that he considered the situation in the entire coal region extremely forbidding which fully warranted the calling out of additional troops. “I have already ordered the Thirteenth regiment to the field. My plan for the distribution of troops is the Twelfth to remain at Shenandoah and Manila Park as at present; call .out the Fourth and place it at Mahonoy City, where trouble is apt to occur at any minute; the Eighth at present at Shenandoah will be moved to Wilkesbarre, where I will make my headquarters.” When asked his opinion in regard to the ordering out of the Thirteenth regiment President Mitchell said: “I have nothing to say at the present time.” District Board Member Fallon said: “The ordering out of the regiment at Scranton will have a tendency to strengthen the cause of the strikers and encourage the men involved in the trouble, for about 60 per cent of the enlisted men in the regiment are those who worked in the mines before the strike began. These men will now draw pay from the State, and'this in turn will prove of material benefit to the strikers’ relief fund." The disturbances of Monday and Monday night seemed to break out as if preconcerted. There were disturbances of a wild order up the valley. It started when Eugene Ditty was mobbed and perhaps fatally injured by fifteen foreigners. Deputy Sheriff McAndrews and another man were brutally assaulted and the deputy in self-defense shot a striker by the name of Taylor. Following is Gen. Gobin’s famous “shoot to kill” order: “Shoot to kill; investigate afterward. The time for forbearance has gone by. The men who enter the picket lines and assault the sentries do not thinly the militiamen will shoot. I have given orders that will make them think differently.”

YOUNG DENIES CRIME.

Says Mrs. Pulitzer Was Killed by Charles S. Klling. Admitting his connection with the murder of Mrs. Pulitzer in New York, but denying the actual killing, William Hooper Young, fully identified in the person of Bert Edwards, arrested at Derby, Conn., as the man wanted by the Gotham officers, was taken to that city without extradition. It is a remarkable story Young tells, although the police throw doubt upon it. He asserts himself to have been the scapegoat for a friend. Young says he was absent from his fiat in New York when the crime was committed. He says that he and one Charles Simpson Eiling of Bridgeport, Conn., lured the woman to Young’s flat, where Young left them. On hia return Young says that Eiling, who immediately fled, told him he had killed the wom&n by giving her chloral hydrate in a glass of beer. Anxious to save his friend. Young said that he attempted to dismember the body, but that his nerve failed him and he subsequently removed it in a trunk and dumped It Into the Morris canal. No such man aa Eiling is known in Bridgeport. Eiling la the name to which Young nddressed the trunk to Chicago. Young says he expected Eiling to go to Chicago and claim the trunk.

DIAZ TO GO TO EUROPE.

President of Mexico Will Soon Depart for Protracted Visit. Gen. Diaz, President of Mexico, is beginning to prepare for his important journey to Europe, when he will visit Great Britain and aril the principal countries on the continent. Geu. Porfirio Diaz was first elected President of the Mexican Republic in 1876, and has since ruled the country continuously, with the exception of one term, when he secured the election of Gen. Gonzalez, his secretary of war. The in-

PRESIDENT DIAZ.

dustrial progress of Mexico under Gen. Diaz has been remarkable, as compared with the advancement of the other Latin countries of America. He is now in his seventy-third year, but is said to possess wonderful physical strength, a wrist like iron and also a will like iron. His last notable public appearance was that made at the celebration of Mexican independence in 1894, on which occasion an attempt was made to assassinate him. His would-be murderer, however, was never brought to trial. He was torn from jail by an infuriated mob and lynched.

TRAILROADS

It is said that in the '7os the total number of passengers carried on all roads from New York to Chicago was between sixty and seventy a day. A meeting was held in St. Louis for the purpose of arranging the details of the colonization schemes of the southwestern lines in the States and territories of that section.

James J. Hill, president Northern Securities Company, comprising Burlington, Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads, says the combination will earn 1150,000,000 for year from July 1. It has been announced that a close alliance has been entered into between the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway and the Missouri Pacific system. By the merger the two systems control 12,103 miles. As an illustration of the increase in the passenger travel between Chicago and New- York the Lackawanna line announces that it is now carrying about seventy passengers eastward each day. This is an increase of about 200 per cent over the business of the line three years ago. The Southern Railway Company is negotiating for the purchase of the Queen and Crescent system. President Spencer of the Southern is in England, and it is reliably asserted that the object of hia visit is to effect the purchase of the line, which will give the system entrance into New Orleans over its own rails. The Queen and Crescent is an English-owned road. Articles of incorporation for the Springfield and Central Illinois Electric Railway Company, with capital stock of (200,000 and principal office at Springfield, have been filed in the office of the Secretary of State. The new road is to be constructed from Springfield through the counties of Sangamon, Logan and to Blopmington and through ths counties of Sangamon and Macon to Decatur. The Una will also have a southern branch extending from Springfield to Carlinville and west from Springfield to Jacksonville.

Buckley discovered the obstruction only within a hundred yards. Though ho did all he could to stop the train, the engine struck the rail, but it was forced ahead of the pony trucks, not a single wheel passing over it. It is believed to be the work of an organized gang of robbers.

Electric Car Hits Train. An electric car of the Union Traction Company ran into a freight train at a switch near the Soldiers’ Home at Marion, wrecking both trains and injuring over twenty persons.
