ON THE PRESIDENT
MISSISSIPPI REPUBLICAN SAYS
HIS HEART SINKS AS HE SEES
THE HUMILIATION BROUGHT
UPON PEOPLE uF SOUTH.
New Orleans. November 3.—-(Special.)—
The New Orleans Picayune prints in a
telegram from Clarksdale, Miss., a letter
from William A. Alcorn, Jr., a member
of the republican state committee of Mis
sissippi, in response to a request from
A. J. Hyde for an indorsement of his ap
plication for reappointment as poftmastvr
of Meridian, Miss. Mr. Ali%->rn says:
“I am a republican from principle, a
patriot, devoted to my state and country,
and would suffer most anything if R con
tributed to its honor and glory, but when
I see such a man as Mr. Roosevelt in the
executive chair at Washington, doing, i
seems to rme, all he can to bring shann
and humiliation, not only upon the peopk
of Mississippi and the nation, but upon
the south and the nation my heart sink*
“It is unnecessary for me to enumer
ate the many things he is constantly do
ing to fan the flames of discord, disorder,
sectionalism, and party disintegration; for
as a public and party man you should be
familiar with them and should he the last
man in the world to ask him for a favor.
“Suppose I should Indorse you by writ
ing Mr. Roosevelt—what would it amount
to? Would he not immediately ‘respect
fully refer’ it to Edgar S. Wilson, a dem
ocrat, a referee—Roosevelt referee—for
approval? And what would Mr. Wilson
think of the indorsement? It would
amount to nothing—absolutely nothing—
for unless Mr. Wilson, the democrat, was
your friend and wanted to give you the
position you would not get it. even though
every republican in the state indorsed
you and asked that you be appointed.
Think of that! A referee in politics! A
democrat as republican referee—a demo
crat who is the right-hand man, the man
Friday of a republican President of the
United States.
“Quite an innovation, isn’t it? It cer
tainly is to the old republicans who have
fought in the ranks and stood the steel,
the gaffs, that have been plunged into
them because of their fidelity, llow can
you or any man that bears allegiance to
the republican party stand such a thing
or approve of such a tiling by asking
for office or Indorsing a man for office’
while such a President sits in the execu
tive chair?
“When our lamented and much-loved
McKinley was President the white people
and the negroes got along peaceably and
on the very best of terms, and there was
no race prejudice or other things that
caused strife or trouble, and had he lived
the party In the south would have grown
and prospered and all would have been
well. Indeed, It was a common thing to
hear stanch, rock-ribbed democrats say
that as their principles were embodied
in William McKinley, they were in fact
republicans, and you know that many
of the best democrats in the state and
nation voted for him in his two cam
paigns for the presidency. He would
have ropublicanized the south.”

department of Panama for the sincere
proofs of their patriotism and expressed
the hope that they will maintain the same
line of conduct and thus save the govern
ment the painful duty of adopting string
ent measures.
The United States gunboat Nashville
arrived here late last evening. The streets
of Colon today presented somewhat the
same appearance as during the days of
the late revolution. Several hundred
troops who arrived from Savanilla, on
the Colombian gunboat Cartagena with
their wives, are squatted on the street
corners. The battalion consists of 400 sol
diers, is well supplied with ammunition
and is under the command of General
Tovas. General Tovas left for Panama
today, but the troops still remain here.
News Reaches Washington.
Washington, November 3.—The follow
ing cablegram was received at the state
department tonight from United Consul
at Panama:
“An uprising took place at Panama to
night. independence was proclaimed. The
Colombian army and navy officials were
made prisoners. A government is to bo
organized consisting of three consuls
and a cabinet, it is rumored at Panama
that a similar uprising was to take
place at Colon.”
Later: The following official statement
was made regarding the news from Pan
ama:
“A number of confused and conflict
ing despatches have been received from
the isthmus, indicating rather serious
disturbances at both Panama and
Colon. The navy department lias des
patched several vessels to these ports
with direction to do everything possible
to keep travel open, and maintain or
der along the line of the railroad.”
The sensational advices from the isth
mus wore not entirely unexpected, in
view of other advices that had come to
the department very recently. The re
ception of the news caused a sudden out
burst of activity at the navy department,
and at once on President House volt’s re
turn he was made acquainted with the
situation. Secretary Hay, Assistant Sec
retary Darling, Assistant Secretary
Loomis and a number of others were
summoned to the White House and
measures were taken at once for protec
tion of American interests at the isth
mus.
Warships Hurried to Colon.
Washington. November J.—Orders have
been issued by the state department to the
Dixie, which is now on her way from Ja
maica to proceed at onco to Colon and the
Boston, which is now at San Juan, is
sure to go to Panama. The Wyoming,
Marblehead and Concord which compose
Rear Admiral Glass’ Pacific squadron,
are under orders to remain temporarily
at Acapulco, where the squadron now is to
await orders, to proceed to the isthmus
if the situation becomes worse. The Bal
timore is now on her way to San Domin
go because of an outbreak and the dis
turbed conditions there, but upon her ar
rival at San Domingo, probably will be
ordered to proceed at once to the isthmus.
The Dixie, it is stated, has four hun
dred marines on board, a force that would
come In very handy In the event it is
decided to land a force on the isthmus.
Thus far no information has come to the
government indicating that our naval of
ficers. who have a pretty broad authority
in such matters, have landed marines. In
fact the early advices received by the
navy department merely stated that the
Nashville has arrived at Colon and that
the situation is serious. In addition to
these orders, late tonight orders were Is
sued to the Atlanta to proceed at onco
from Jamaica Colon.
No News Given Out.
The White House conference broke up
at about 11 o’clock, but not much was
learned by the official telegram received,
and the orders given are only understood
by those participating In their execution.
There is a general belief that the re
jection of the Panama canal treaty by
Colombia caused the people of the Isth
mus to decide upon a government of their
own, but none of the officials of the ad

FURTHER TROUBLE WITH
THE INDIANS IS FEARED
Washington, November 3.—The com
missioner of Indian affairs has received
telegrams from Senator Warren of
Wyoming and Agent Brennan of the
Pine Ridge agency, giving further de
tails concerning the recent encounter be
tween Wyoming officials and Indians.
Mr. Brennan says tho Indians engaged
were from Pine Ridge and therefore they
were Sioux. Tho party, according to his
statement was small, and was traveling
through Wyoming on a permit. He also
says that Sheriff Wilson and one of his
posse were reported killed, and that
twenty Indians were also killed. Mr.
Brennan attributed the light to a dharge
made by the officers for the purpose of
arresting the Indians. He added that he
would go to Newcastle and investigate
the Indian uprising.
Senator Warren said in his telegram
that six Indians were killed, six wound
ed and about the same number cap
tured. He confirms the report of the
death of the sheriff. One of the Indians
of the party named Smith, was a former
student at the Carlisle Indian school.
There were, he says, two fights, one on
Friday or Saturday, and the other on
Sunday evening. The other sheriff’s posse
is still in pursuit of the Indians and the
latter have been reinforced. "It looks
squally," says the senator in his mes
sage, "and I fear further trouble."
ministration would authorize a statement
to the effect that was the case.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Dar
ling made a statement regarding the lo
aation of the United States ships likely
to he cabled upon for isthmian service.
He said:
"The Atlanta is not at Jamacia; the
Dixie Is supposed to be in the vicinity of
Jamaica, the Nashville is at Colon, Ad
miral Glass' squadron, comprising the
Marblehead, Wyoming and Concord is at
San Juan del Bur, Nicaragua.”
The movement of these vessels, added
Mr. Darling, will be directed by the navy
department pursuant to requests from the
state department.
Quickly Formed Conference.
Washington, November 3.—'While the
President was receiving the . election re
turns tonight he held a conference with
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Darling
and Assistant Secretary of State Loomis,
presumably regarding the situation at
Colon and the necessity for naval ves
sels there. Shortly before 10 o’clock Lieu
tenant Belknap, the cipher officer of the
bureau of navigation, came over from the
navy department to the White House,
bringing a message. He was followed
quickly by Assistant Darling. There was
a hurried conference between the Presi
dent and the two secretaries following
which Lieutenant Belknap returned to the
navy department in great haste. A few
minutes after the conference Admiral
Taylor, chief of the bureau of navigation,
called and was Immediately admitted to
the cabinet room where the President
was. Up to 11:15 nothing could be learn
ed regarding the details of the confer
ence. At the conclusion of the confer
ence the Associated Press bulletin from
Panama was shown to Admiral Taylor
and Assistant Secretary Darling, where
upon they immediately held an interview
with the President lasting a few minutes.
Neither would make a statement concern
ing the dispatch.
The Dixie carries a detachment of 400
marines in command of Capt. John A.
Lejeune, the Atlanta 25, the Boston 25.
and the Nashville about 12, enabling the
ships already under orders for isthmian
waters to land an aggregate force of 402
marines. In addition, the Marblehead,
Concord and Wyoming which are coaling
at Acapulce, all have full marine guards.
Secretary Hay took part in all the con
ferences at the White House but his pres
ence was not known until the gathering
broke up as he entered by the private
way.

DEMOCRATS SCORE
A SWEEPING VIC J ORY
Continued from First Page)
l vc s life of shame, their earnings go
ing to men who they supposed to be their
husbands. McClellan was attacked by
the speakers of the fuslonists because
they alleged he had sold the name his
father hpnored to cloak the cer.gns of
evil men.
Argument Against Low.
To these statements the democrats re
sponded with the charge that "Low's
non-partisan claims masked an attempt
to secure control of the city In the in
terest of Governor Odell; that all of the
credit for the good business administra
tion under Low belonged to Grout, who
was on the democratic ticket, and that
every democrat should east his ballot for
McClellan In view of the important bear
ing this city’s vote would have on the
Presidential election next year.” Both
candidates mnde nightly speeches. Low's
principal supporting orator was District
Attorney Jerome, who bitterly opposed
the mayor's renomination on the ground
that he was unpopular, but who after
the nomination convention made fre
quent speeches for the fusion ticket.
For McClellan, Burke Cockran return
ed to political activity and made sev
eral speeches.
Effect on McLaughlin.
Scarcely second in interest to the defeat I
of Low is the effect of the result of the
vote on the fortunes of the octogenarian,
Hugh McLaughlin, who for more than a
quarter of a century had been the undis
puted leader of tlie Kings county demo
i ' racy and who now finds that his former
lieutenant. McCarreh, was able to manage
McClellan's candidacy so that a demo
cratic plurality resulted in spite of Mc
Laughlin’s spirited opposition. What the
result of the situation there will be,
cannot now be told.
BECKHAM IS ELECTED
GOVERNOR OF KENTUCKY.
Louisville, November 3.—At the close
of ai\ election characterized by an un
usually heavy vote, numerous disorders,
and evidences of many gross irregular
j ities, the re-election of Governor Beck
! ham, the democratic candidate over Col.
1 Morris B. Belknap, republican, by a ma
1 jorlty of fully 15,000 seems assured.
The republicans concede the election of
! Governor Beckham.
The day in Louisville was an exciting
one and the election was bitterly fought.
The republican managers claim they have
proofs that in 32 precincts in this city,
! the polling places in republican precincts
; were either kept closed all or a part of
j the time, or removed to obscure places.
Ballot Box Stuffing Charged.
They also charge ballot box stuffing,
the forcible ejection of republican elec
tion officers, and the Intimidation of
negro voters by the policemen and fire
men of the present democratic city ad
ministration. These conditions led to
many fights, the most serious of which
occurred between Tom Kiley, a demo
cratic election officer and Jacob Krieger,
a republican officer. The men used pistols
and Kiley was seriously hurt.
This light occurred at Fourteenth and
Green streets and was a three-cornered
one. According to statements made by
witnesses, Jacob Krieger. a republican
election judge, and another republican
election officer resisted an attempt to
change the republican election officers,
with the result that the polls remained
closed until noon. Kjlgy went out and
shortly returned accompanied by two

crushed during an election row. At Troy,
Philip Riley was shot by a deputy
sheriff for venturing too near the polls. At
Lawreneeburg, Constable James Edwards
was fatally cut by Oliver Cary during a
fight in an election booth.
Of the 119 counties in the state, returns
have been received from thirty-eight.
These give Beckham 64,064 and Belknap
36,700. Over forty of these counties are
remote, some of them being nearly two
days’ Journey from telephone or tele
graph wires.
Louisville and Jefferson county gave
Beckham 6000 majority in round numbers
over Belknap. The outside gain of 10,000
insures Beckham a majority of 13,500 with
i the eastern counties to be heard from.
Beckham, however, has made a total
gain of nearly 2000 in his total vote from
the twenty-odd counties heard from. Tha
Eleventh district, composed of remote
mountain counties, last year furnished
19,000 republican majority, and will prob
ably duplicate this year. Returns from the
district will not be completed before
Thursday night.
Beckham's majority outside the
Eleventh district Is estimated at 35,000.
None of the counties In the district have
been heard from.
Roosevelt Says Naugnt.
Washington, November 3—President
Roosevelt arrived In Washington at 8:14
o’clock from Oyster Bay. No sooner had
the train come to a standstill than the
President alighted. He was handed the
latest election dispatches of the Associ
ated Press and stepped under an electric
light in the station to read them. He made
no comment. Owing to the immense
crowds which had gathered on Pennsyl
vania avenue to view election returns it
was necessary for the President s driver
to take him through streets back of this
In order to reach the White House. In
anticipation of his arrival a big crowd as
sembled at the Pennsylvania station to
greet him. As is his usual custom he
shook hands with the engineer and fire
man on leaving the train.
The President remained in the White
House only a short time, when ho walked
over to the executive offices and received
the election returns in the cabinet room.
He was Joined by Mrs. Roosevelt and
Miss Alice, Secretary Cortelyou, Assis
tant Secretary of State Loomis and Civil
Service Commissioners Cooley and Proc
tor. Through special arrangements made
with the telegraph companies and the As
sociated Press, the President was kept
constantly informed of the latest election
news.
Tho only expression which President
Roosevelt would make regarding the elec
tion was that he was very much grati
fied with the results from Ohio.
Democrats Sweep Virginia.
Richmond, November 3.—The elections
in Virginia today, which were for mem
bers of the assembly have resulted gen
erally in a democratic sweep of the state.
There were few contests, Indeed, the field,
as a rule, being left open to the demo
crats. At 11:30 o'clock tonight the out
come at the hardest fought points was
still undecided. Two surprises appear,
however, in the defeat of the democratic
nominees in the Botetourt and Freder
icksburg. The vote generally was light,
being In Richmond city, for example only
25 per cent of the registration. A fierce
fight between democrats, one with the
other without the endorsement of the
state committee for the treasuryship of
Henrico county, was a feature of the elec
tion and led to a heavy vote in that coun
ty.
At 11:30 o'clock the Indications favor the
election of the man without the endorse
ment.
Result in Virginia Legislature.
Richmond, November 3.—The net result
of the election in Virginia today seems
to be an Increase of the anti-democratic
strength in the general assembly by a
few votes, malting about 25 in the two
houses. The vote was very light through
out the state, except where sharp local
contests over suffrage occurred. An in
dependent democrat was elected treas
urer over the endorsement of tile state
committee. The fusion democrats In Hen
ricoke county are reported to have
triumphed over the straight-outs, who had
the state commissioners’ endorsement.
Both Sides Claim Colorado.
Denver, Colo., November 3.—Chairman
! Fowler of the republican central cojnmit
| tee claims the election of Campbell for
i justice of the supreme court by 5000. At
democratic headquarters it is claimed that
! Wilson, democrat, will have a small
plurality in the state.
Doubtful in Nebraska.
Omaha. Neb., November 3.—Full re
turns will be very late owing to the com
plex system this year of counting bal
lots. The newspapers of Omaha and
chairman of campaign committees are
very conservative in their estimates, none
of them, however, venturing to name fig
ures. The Omaha Bee, republican, how
over, expects the majority of Barnes over
Sullivan to be about half that of Sed
wiek over Hollenback two years ago,
attributing the fusion gain on the head of
the ticket to a personal strength and pop
ularity of Judge Sullivan. Sedwick car
ried the state by 13.000.
Precincts received thus far indicate a
substantial gain for Judge Sullivan, dem
ocrat, but nothing definite is known at
10:30.
One hundred and ninety-nine precincts
in Nebraska outside of Douglass county
gives Barnes, republican, 16.409; Sullivan,
democrat, 14,303. 146 of these districts show
a net fusion gain of 77 over the vote of
two years ago.
In San Francisco.
San Francisco, November 3.—Incomplete
returns received up to 9:30 p. m. indicate
the probable re-election of Schmitz, th3
union labor candidate, for mayor by a
small majority. Partial returns from 117
precincts give Schmitz. 1450; Crocker, re
publican, 1252; Lane, democrat, 766.
In New Jersey.
Trenton, N. J., November 4.—The repub
licans in New Jersey yesterday elected
four of the six senators and enough of the
state asembly assembly to claim both
houses.
The entire democratic assembly ticket
was elected in Union county, which is a
defeat for United States Senator Keane.
The republican nominees who were fa
vorable to his return to the senate were
apparently opposed at the polls by the
anti-Kean faction in that county.
The next senate will stand 14 republicans
and 7 democrats. In the house, 36 of the
60 members will be republicans.
In Massachusetts.
Boston. November 3.—Benjamin L.
Bates was re-elected governor of Massa
chusetts today by a plurality of about
37,000 over Col. William A. Gaston, the
democratic candidate. With a dozen cit
ies and towns to hear from. Bates had a
lead of 32,315, but as the missing towns
are all strongly republican, there was
even Indications at a late hour tonight
that the plurality of the republican can
didate w'ould be practically the same as
that of last year, although the vote may
run higher.
The legislature remains practically un
changed with the usual proportion of
two republicans to one democrat, but
the socialist party which hart three mem
bers last year, will be represented by
one, a member from Brockton. The so
cialist vote fell off considerably from last
year, and the failure to re-elect Repre
sentative Carre of Haver Hill, one of tho
party leaders and a member of the lower
branch of the legislature for the past five
or six years, was one of the features of
the election.
In addition to electing their state ticket
and holding the legislature, the republi
cans were also successful in retaining
control of the governor’s council which
was composed of five republicans and one
democrat.
Democrats Win in Rhode Island.
Providence, R. I., November 3.—At mid
night the returns indicate the re-elec- \
tlon of Governor Garvin, democrat, by a
greatly reduced plurality. The vote is very
close, however, and the result probably
will be in doubt until the last district
is heard from. The republican state cen
tral committee claimed that later re
turns would overcome Garvin's lead at
midnight.
Owing to the isolated section of many
towns and the fact that the polls did not
close until 7 p. m., complete returns will
not be received until tomorrow.
Iowa it Republican. f
Des Moines, Iowa, November 4.—Re
turns received up to 12:30 a. m. indicate
the re-election of Governor Cummings
by a plurality of 60,000 and of his asso
ciates on the republican ticket by sul^
stantially the same pluralities.
At democratic headquarters so large
a plurality is not admitted. The legisla
ture returns although not complete, in
dicate little change from two years agot
when the house contained 82 republicans
and 18 democrats, and the senate 40 re
publicans and 10 democrats. The demo
crats may gain two or three members
of the house.
New York Is ceieDrating.
New York, November 3.—From the
fall of darkness till long after midnight
the tenderloin was the scene of noisy
revel. The vigorous hum which com
menced as the first few bulletins appear
ed, soon grew into the most tremendous
demonstrations that the tenderloin or
the city has probably ever seen.
From the "Flat Iron" building with its
two storied beak a glare of electric lights
to Long Acre square, a hundred thous
and people surged back and forth from
one bulletin board to another. On Broad
way and parts of Fifth and Sixth and
Seventh avenues, with some of the Inter
secting streets, the noise became greater
as the evening were on, a roar that
sounded like the crash of many bat
teries of artillery
