"He told me to think and see If I could not remember 1L I could not remember such a remark, and I know | that Powers never did make such a remark, or anything resembling It, In my j presence; but being urged by Arthur j Goebel, I finally concluded to state that I he did make such a statement and so I _j3woro upon the trial, which testimony was false. , j "Before making my statement to Campbell, Wharton Golden told us to j make it as strong as possible, as they j (referring to Campbell and Goebel), would take care of me and protect me.

GREAT CROWD OF SOLDIERS Honor the Governor at Bath?Conditions of Democratic and Bopublican Bulo Contrasted. ROCHESTER. N. Y.. Oct. 30.?When i the Roosevelt train arrived here .to1 night the party found great' crowds, ? both at the depot and the two halls, and a splendid greeting was accorded the vice presidential candidate. There was an Immenso parade of clubs and business men's associations, and both auditoriums where Governor Roosevelt r spoke were filled to overflowing. Besides an enthusiastic gathering at Corning, the home of the club that was I assaulted at Elmlra last night, the only Incident of the day occurred at Geneva, where there was an attempt made to prevent the governor from speaking.

The utterances ascribed to ex-P referred to embodied an expression Mr. Bryan the morning after the Mr. Cleveland was quoted as na favor of the Democratic candidate, a and as an efficient campaigner. s j there were a number on the outskirts t of the crowd, especially in the windows of some buildings opposite the stand, who, assisted by the usual crowd of small boys, did what they could to Interrupt him. The only cry that was in telllglble from the stand was "Hurrah for Bryan!" First xnterruption. "Gentlemen," said the governor, "I - appeal to you for the honor of that - Hag," Indicating a large American flag . which was on the stand, but he was Interrupted by renewed shouts of "Hur rah for Bryan!" - "Gentlemen," said the governor, "I : want you to reflect what a poor showing you make when you try to Interrupt an appeal to the flag." 1 Thin remark caused the noise to dl mlnlsh somewhat, but It was continued until the governor finished his remarks. 5 A great many of the disturber* here, as In other places, were boys, but those In the windows of the buildings were men, one of them having a megaphone. Some small boys followed the trains a* It moved away, calling "What about the 1 canals?" c Was Raining Hard. At Canandalgua, where a good sized crowd had gathered despite the fact that It was raining hard and the train was about an hour late, the governor ' addressed himself on the subject of < prosperity and on the trust auction. He sold: . "Prosperity, like this rain, falls on the Just and unjust. It Is falling here i on the Just Just at this moment, but still It is fnlllng on the unjust, as Mr. Bryan Is making a tour of the state also." 1 It wan after 9 o'clock when the governor's train rolled Into Rochester, the wet tracks and side roads dolaylng the party. The governor proceeded at once , to the halls where the speaking was to v taku place. He discussed In the same i general wny that he has at other points, trusts and Imperialism.

McQulre, of the Democratic state committee, gave out to-night the first estimate from the Democratic state committee on how the state would go. He said: "Our canvass of the state gives Bryan CO,000 ma jorlty, and It also shows that the Republicans will not come to the Bronx with more than 70,000 majority. I have refrained from making any statements heretofore until our canvass was completed. This estimate on our canvass Is a very conservative one." BEHIND THE BARS Is Alvord?Bitter Scrap Betweon State and United States Officials as to Jurisdiction in His Case. NEW YORK, Oct. 30.?Corneltus L. Alvord, Jr., the embezzling note teller of the First National Bunk, who was arrested yesterday In Boston, was arraigned In police court here to-day and remanded to police headquarters till 3 o'clock this afternoon, In order to give the legal authorities time to decide whether he shall be tried before the United States or state courts.

Absolute Lie." x-President Cleveland, being shown mes of to-day, purporting' to be an g to end is an absolute lie, without truth. I have never uttered a word least pretext for such a mendacious hed the Philadelphia Times to this resident Cleveland in the publication that there would be a landslide for election. ming certain elements working in nd discussing Mr. Bryan as an orator dcclde upon the disposition of Alvord's case. When Alvord was re-arralgned In police court this afternoon. Fisher A. Baker; counsel for the First ' 'National. Bank, said that he had secured- a warrant from the United States district court for Alvord's arrest under the laws regulating embezzlement and making false entries. He said he would much prefer that the prisoner go bo. fore the United States courts for trial. This was opposed by District Attorney Gardiner. Alvord's attorney apparently took little interest In this part or the proceedings. After some discussion the whole matter went over until to-morrow. Alvord was committed to the Tombs. It appears probable that there may be a long contest as to Juris diction, District Attorney Gardiner apparently being determined that the prisoner shall bo tried in a state court.
