New Castle, Ind., Oct. 2 An audience that filled the Alcazar Theater from pit to dome, crowded onto the rage and even overflowed on the street, tonight. save an enthusiastic welcome to Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the National House of Represen tatives, and in return were favored with an address that was both eloquent and logical and quite characteristic or the aged Republican war horse. It was a genuine "dyed in the wool, stand pat" protective tariff utterance, and was put to the audience In such a way as to be not only convincing that the slogan of the Republicans to not meddle with the tariff was sound, but it aroused enthusiasm of no mistnkable kind. The speaker was in a genial mood, and his manner as usual was unconventional to the extreme. He pa!d a most eloquent tribute to Congressman Watko's work. In his concluding remarks and the audience cheered for several minutes. Kven Charlie Ilernlej-, who sat in a box, and who nas been looked upon as the leader of the anvil chorus of the anti Watson ites in Jlenry County, smiled , faintly and never batted "an eye.

DR. BOND TELLS OF SUGGESTION

He Does not Favor Converting Part of Reid Memorial Hospital into a Pest House. CALLED FORTH PROTESTS A COMMUNICATION CRITICISING THE REPORTED IDEAS OF THE HEALTH OFFICER GREAT FIN ANCIAL STAKE. Editor Palladium: The suggestion of Dr. Bond, our new city health officer, to abandon our pest house, fails to go quite far enough. He should have urged securing the basement of Reid's Memorial church, Friends church or some other centrally located building, to be used as a pest house, as this arrangement would be much tetter than to have all the smaii.poI and other danerously infecting cases taken away , amongst these poor fellows " souieuuie WItnin lue nexi without a moments warning. The suggestion that we turn our to a nest house is a brilliant one. as - mat was exactly wn. it was omit for of course; but there would be one little hitch in this scheme, as some over fastidious people might object to being taken their for treatment under such peculiar environments, There are others, however, who are willing to take and give anything they can get, provided it costs them nothing, even if it should be smallpox or Asiatic Cholera, so this class would be highly delighted with such cheerful arrangements and surroundings. Then the grand financial stroke of savlng the city that $20P.60 is one that challenges the admiration of. every economist. Why, there are plenty of men who would be glad to part with a good stiff case of small-pox I for, half this sum to any of their neighbors who might be looking for some such luxurv. while manv others would kindly consent to distribute these loathsome diseases gratis to our city hospital and even our" entire city besides, if there were no restrictions to prevent such a' course. , go by a unsAet us abandon the pest house and save that $207.60. P. D. Q. ; Action not Understood. I Dr' C SV Bond' health officer said to the Palladium yesterday that- 'his : suggestion had been misunderstood. Dr. Bond said that he never had in mind the use of Reid Memorial Hospital as a substitute for the present hospital, but his jdea is that because there is plenty of ground at the hospial the city detention hospital or pest house might be placed wav to tne rear of the hospital proper with-1 out dancer "I simply made this suggestion to council and a committee will investicate and decide what action should hf takpn Thp ronort that it was my idea that Reid Memorial Hospital should be used for the pest house was altogether wrong. I simply suggest that it could be placed upon the ground so far removed from the hospital proper that there could oe . no good objections raised to it."

ACTION OCCURRED ON THE LAST DAY Friends Fail to Unite In the Report of Committee Nam ing Members of. American Board of Foreign Missions. MUCH ACCOMPLISHED BY THE MEETING THIS YEAR Most Important Action Was the Establishment of the Puget Sound Quarterly Meeting at Seattle. Marked by the only action that has not been harmonious during the en tire ten days' session, the deliberations of the Indiana Yearly Meeting came to a close at 10:30 o'clock yesterday morning. Although the little friction between the members was not serious, it is significant, in that all action of the Friends is intended to be harmonious. The Meeting for nine days "united" with every report that was made by the many committees, but yesterday, the members, but accented" the report of the special 1 . .... . . committee appointed to select members for tne American Friends' Board of Foreign Missions. The names proposed were E. Gurney Hill, Lucy h. Binford and C. E. Carey. The per sons in themselves were satisfactory to the Meeting, but there were many, who thought that members of the old board should have been continued, It is a custom of the friends to retain the services of a member as long as he gives satisfaction. They do not countenance the system of rotation in office. What occurred yesterday, morning does not mar the success of the gathering, however. Timothy Nicholson, presiding clerk, said last night that the sessions had been the best held by Indiana Yearly Meeting for a number of years. The attendance was largjer than is customary. He regretted the friction between the members vesterdav. but thoueht that it could not be considered serious. x. He thought it rather remarkable , that . so large a body" should continue a long session with such smoothness. He said the enthusiasm of the members had been very gratifying. Several Important Matters. There were several matters dispos ed of during the session o special sig in the Friends ; chutST. "Per naps tne most important action was the establishment of the Puget Sound Quarterly Meeting, composed of three churches, with its meeting place at Seattle, Washington. Earlham Col lese profited to a greated extent than common, while the suggestion of the Rev. Francis W. Thomas may be taken UP and a Iaw school established the college. The Meeting made preparations for entertaining the Five Year Meeting in 190 , which gather inS is the most important in the enure denomination or rienas oi tne world. The Five Year Meeting will not interfere with the deliberations of th.e Indiana Yearly Meeting, which wm oe nem prior to it. RICHMOND AT DENVER D. G. REID ENTERTAINED Dr. D. H.

Local railroad officials, members of the club and many of Mr. Daniel G. Reid's Denver friends, comprised the lte board.

Continued MAY POSTPONE HIS TRIP TO PANAMA Seriousness of Cuban Situa tion Likely to Keep President at Washington. UNTIL AFTER MARCH 4 RETURN OF GOVERNOR MAGOON FROM CANAL ZONE REMOVES FRICTION BETWEEN THAT OFFICIAL AND EUGENE STEVENS. lPutHshers' Press - Washington, ; Oct. 2. President Roosevelt is seriously considering the advisability of postponing his visit to Panama until after congress adjourns on March 4th next. . He is uncertain as to what conditions may develop in Cuba, after Secretary Taft leaves the island, and believes it may be necessary for him to remain here until all danger of trouble is past. The President intended to visit Panama next month. He wished to see the progress being made on the canal work and make it the subject of a special message to congress after his return. The withdrawal of Governor Magoon has increased the presidents inclination to defer his trip. It is no longer denied that grave friction ex ists between Governor Magoon and Chief engineer Stevens and this conflict of authority threatened to de lay canal construction. The transfer of Governor Magoon leaves Mr. Stevens free to pursue the w-ork along his own lines. Will Not Take Stump. rPubllahers Preasl Washington, . Oct. 2.
