as he might. ." His Itinerary for; to
day covers .New Jersey and Dela
ware, ending with a big meeting in
Baltimore to-night at which Secre
tary Garfield will preside... During

Trenton, Wilmington, with probably
shorter addresses at several; smaller
places on the line of travel. Tues
day will be devoted to 'Maryland -and
West Virginia, beginning s with a
speech In the early morning at Cum
berland In ' Western. Maryland- and
closing the days work' with a speech
at Parkersburg,' W.-Va., -"at; night.
Tuesday night MrTaft'Will-spend in
traveling to his homo in Cincinnati,
where Wednesday . will'-be;' given' to
complete relaxation! Thel ast, three
days of the week will be devoted, to
a whirlwind dash through Indiana
In company with Vive-president Fair
banks, Senator Beverldge and other
leading Indiana' republicans. The
last week of the campaign will . be
( given to New York and -the ' last
speeches will be made at Cleveland
and Youngstown, Ohio, on Mr Tafts
way home ,th day before election.
Dr J. J. Richardson, the Washing
ton, throat, specialist, has accomanied
Mr Taft throughout the campaign.
When asked regarding the condition
, of his, distinguished patient the doc.
tor replied that his general health
had remained good throughout and
said" that while he had had consid
erable difficulty with his throat it
was no worse than when he-started
and there was every reason to be
lieve he would , be able to complete
' the strenuous work of the campaign
with comparatively .little inconven
ience. He admitted that there had
been times when conditions had been
, ; far from. good, but he congratulated
I ? himself and his patient on, the fact
. that he had not missed a single en
gagement to speak.
In addition to Dr Richardson' Mr
"'"Taft's party consisted of former sec
retary of the treasury Shaw; United
States Senator William Alden Smith

Connecticut has ' been, eliminated
from -Judge Taft's campaign itiner
ary. In reply to a question the can
didate himself' made, the statement
to a large group of newspaper men
' that he would not campaign in New
England at all.
The explanation given for; ' the
change of plans Is that' Mr Taft's
voice cannot stand the strain of ad
dressing large crowds many times a
day.: He would have to do this if he
spent October 26 in Connecticut, as
has been expected for several weeks
past. .' l s ' -' ..: , ,
Of course, IMs expected that Mr
v Taft's many Connecticut friends will
be disappointed, but he regrets that
he cannot do otherwise than cancel
his dates in that state under the ex
J Hit

isting, circumstances.
. It was rumored that Judge Taft's
change the plans was due to desire
to avoid embarrassment over Mr, LU
ley's candidacy, but this was.denied.
Mr Taft's .friends, say 'that ,he be
lieves ln'the Connecticut gubernator
ial candidate and' would not hesi
tate . to .endorse him if opportunity
offered, . The fact that there is some
; WILLIAM H. TAFT. J
republican opposition to . Mr: LUley
In the state, It Is said, would not de
ter Mr Taft from. entering Connecti

an utter disregard for factional trou
bles. ' -- .- .

strength and voice for the final ef
fort in "the campaign in New York

OUR FLEET AT T0KI0
Adalral Sperry asd CISer C13-
ctals Rile lo Carriages WMcb
Were Gaily Decorated.
Toklo. Oct 19. Monday morning
broke calm and beautiful over Yoko
hama bay, the harbor being bathed
in brilliant sunshine which. - threw
into stronger relief the glistening
white sides of the American battle
ships where they lay at anchor be
side the darker Japanese fleet.
The first Item In the reception to
the Americans was the departure of
Rear Admiral Snerry and the ad
mirals and caDtalns of the fleet for
Toklo. They were driven to the sta
tion in carriages elaborately deco
rated with flowers, where they en
terred a special train at 9 o'clock.
: Along the whole eighteen miles of
the way to Toklo there was a con
tinual greeting to the Americans, and
the trip was one long procession
through a lane of waving flags.
At Toklo the train was met by a
committee composed of representa
tives of every department of the gov
ernment Secretary Jay of the
American embassy and the. entire la
gatlon staff were also on hand. After
the exchange of formal greetings on
the station platform a procession was
formed and then came a great sur
prise when the band struck up the
national hymn and 10,000 school
children massed in chorus sang the
words of the hymn in English. After
fifteen minutes of singing the band
stopped and the- leader stepped out
and 10,000 voices cheered again, glv
lng the American cheer three times
and a tiger.
The American officers were . then
conducted to carriages In waiting
and the work of the day was begun.
The admirals of the fleet were
driven to the Shiba palace in Imperial
carriages. The twenty-seven cap
tains and commanders were taken to
the imperial hotel. The streets were
literally packed with madly cheering
crowds. The effect from the waving
flags resembled a sea of red, white
and blue. . r
The Associated Press is assured
that the return of Admiral Togo to
Toklo after his great victory of the
Sea of Japan did not arouse as great
enthusiasm as was - manifested to
day. . - -
The admirals received official calls
this morning and returned them,
after which they called on Ambassa
dor O'Brien and had Informal lunch
eon.,: This' will he. followed by two
garden parties, one at the American
embassy and the other at the resi
dence of Baron Iwasaki. :
1 A dinner was given to-night by tho
American .ambassador at the c Im
perial hotel. ; ,
One thousand sailors from the
fleet will be brought on special trains
daily to Toklo, where every form of
entertainment will be provided for
them. ' ' V; .
v The American - naval officers say
that their reception exceeds anything
that they have experienced on their
long cruise, but the Japanese say the
reception has hardly begun.

TflE MAINE IS llOu'E
Big Baltlesblp Was Docled To
day al the Porliraoolb Navy
Yard.
Portsmouth, N. H., Oct 19. Tbe
battleship Maine, first of ' the far
flung skirmish line of tbe round-the-world
cruise of the United States
navy to enter home waters steamed
Into Portsmouth harbor In the haze
of the early morning, glided up the
Plscataqua river and sliding quietly
alongside the dock at the navy yard
came to a stop at 8:15 o'clock to-day.
She had completed the circuit of tbe
globe and had measured a course of
35,000 miles in 808 days out from
Hampton Roads. Headed for New
York, which she Is expected to reach
to-morrow, is tbe battleship Alabama
which had accompanied the Maine as
courier to prepare the way for the
cruising fleet and from which the
Maine separated last Wednesday
heading for this port. The great fleet
to-day lies in Yokohoma harbor on
the opposite side of the earth 13,000
miles astern of the vanguard ships
which, steaming through many wa
ters and saluting the flags of many
nations have accomplished the task
of showing the nations of the earth
that American built ships are capa-
Die or long distance work and still
remain in fighting condition. The
Maine on the home stretch from the
Azores to Portsmouth kept un the
speed average of ten knots an hour.
tne limit fixed for the battleship fleet
in its runs from port to port since
leaving Hampton Roads last Decem
ber.
The battleship will remain at
Portsmouth 26 days for docking and
will then further demonstrate her
seaworthiness by oging on the north
Atlantic station as the flagship for
month or two. Following this she
will go out of commission after three
years of arduous service.
The three big funnels of the Maine
broke out of the fog and smoke in
side the Isle of Shoals about an hour
after dawn to-day and at 7 o'clock
she was coming proudly in by old
Fort Constitution. Disdaining the
attenions of three little tugs which
had been sent out from the navy yard
she swept up the Plscataqua under
her own steam and ran over a nortion
of Henderson's Point which was dry
iana and rocKs at the time of her last
visit here and slipped into the stone
dock as easily and as gracefully as a
sieam launcn.
ust before getting tnto. the dock 13
guns boomed out from her starboard
broadside as a salute to Rear Admiral
E K, Moore, commandant of the navy
yard. The courtesy was immediately
returned by the navy. yard battery
with seven guns for Commander Wil
liam B. Caperton of tbe Maine. As
soon as the Maine had docked, Com
mander Caperton, in full dress uni
form went ashore and promptly re
ported his arrival to Admiral Moore.
Delight was expressed on the face
of every "Jackie" who tumbled over
the side to assist in docking the ship.
Nearly every man had some souvenir
in the shape of a bracelet, rine or
other trinket from the dozen foreign
ports which the ship has visited, and
each had a story of his own to tell of
the past ten months. '
