strongest, naval force that ever en
tered this port. '
Only 100 Chinese guests will be
admitted to the grounds on which
the celebrations planned for the re
ception of. the American officers and
sailors will be held, and the resent
ment at the severe measures taken to
exclude the Chinese from participa
tion In the celebration is the cause of
the apathy Bhown: -
The British consul has issued a
circular stating that the local offi
cials have declined to Issue, more
than sixty passes to the enclosure to
British subjects and that In conse
quence he will refuse to accept a
pass.
The fleet appeared off Tal Tan Is
land at 6:30 o'clock this morning,
having been met ten miles out at sea
by the Chinese torpedo gunboat Wel
Ylng which escorted the ships to
their anchorage. The ships-entered
the " harbor In a Blngle line, v the
Louisiana, flagship of Rear Admiral
William H. Emory, commanding,

line dropped their anchors at 9:30
o'clock, while the forts on shore .and
the flagship of the Chinese squadron,
the Hal-Chi, flred the customary sa
lutes, which were replied tovby the
American ships.
Immediately the ships came to an
chor Captain Patton of the supply
ship Culgoa, which had preceded the
squadron, boarded Admiral ' Emory's
flagship closely followed by the har
bor master. Admiral Sah, command
er of the Chinese squadron,, who
boarded the flagship at X0 o'clock,
left with Admiral Emory the cards of
Prince Tu Lang and Liang Tun-Yen
vice president of the foreign board,
the imperial representatives sent by
the government at Peking to wel
come the fleet. Captain Dalwigh of
the German cruiser. Niobe, the only
foreign naval vessel in the harbor,
also called to pay his respects to Ad
miral Emory, as did Julean H.- Ar
nold,' the American consul at Amoy.
The football and baseball teams of
the ships, which are to play here the
final games for the championship of
jfrti fleet, for which beautiful and
valuable trophies have -beea prepar
ed by the Chinese government, are
on shore practicing fothe games. At
2 o'clock this afternoon Admiral Em
ory will come ashore for the purpose
of calling on Prince Tu Lang and Li
ang Tun-Yen, the- imperial commls
, sloners and other officials.

DEMOCRAT IS UPHELD
Indianapolis, Ind, Oct 30. D. M.
Parry, formerly president of the Na
tlonal Association of Manufacturers,
says In connection with the letters
read by Mr' Hearst last night In New
York, said to have been written by
Myron D. King to his former serre
tary, John Maxwell, and himself, that
he did not know whether these let
ters were ever written by Mr King
or not. He aaaea:
"But, even If the letters were writ
ten by Mr King, I. fall to see the
point Mr Hearst makes. 'Myron D.
King and John Maxwell were enir
ployed by me to help me in the work
of .building, up the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers, because I be
lieved they would make efficient em
ployes.
"Mr King' was employed bymanu
facturers to present their views In
connection with certain labor bills.
After he had done that Mr King hid
no furthen interest in the issues. It
is only, natural that he should con
gratulate me on my re-election to
the presidency of the association at
Atlanta after I bad been attacked by
skulking foes who struck at me in
the rear a great ' deal; after Mi
l-Hearst's methods. Mr King has been
a democrat all his life and by profes
sipn Is an accountant. I Imagine he
has been--twice entrusted by' demo
cratic national committees in impor
tant work in the auditing department
because of his Inheritance of honesty
and ability, not because he has any
views of labor matters1. i White I
have been a republican all my life I
believe in fair play. s And in Justice
to Mr King and the democratic na
tional committee I am compelled to
believe that Mr Hearst is engaged in
a childish sort of performance in
this particular matter."

New Rochelle, N. Y., Oct. 30. Gain
ing admission to, the home of Mrs,
Eben Adams under the pretext that
he wished to inspect It with a view
to subsequent purchase, a sprucely
dressed young man compelled the wo
man at the point of a revolver to re
move her diamond earrings and pre

The affability of the burglar and
the fact that be left without taking
with him other booty than the ear
rings, which were of comparatively
small value, Is taken by the police as
an Indication that he was a novice.

Add Drinking Fatal
Seymour, Oct. 30. William H.

New York, Oct 30. A statement
from John D. Rockefeller announc
ing that he Intends to vote for Wil
liam H. Taft for president next Tues
day and telling why he will do so
and why he thinks Mr Taft should be
elected, was given out from the
Standard Oil Co's office here last
night. The Issuance of the statement
followed a personal call at the main
offices of the Standard Oil Co by Mr
Rockefeller, who In his reminis
cences recently published said he had
been there only once in the past four
teen years. The statement, as given
out by the Standard Oil officials fol
lows. October 29, 1908. '
"John D. Rockefeller was found
this afternoon at his office on the
fourteenth floor of No 26 Broadway,
which he "was visiting after a long
absence, and consented to talk upon
the presidential situation. He seem
ed in good health and condition and
spoke as follows:
"It seems to me at this time, when
the question is put directly to any
American citizen which candidate he
will support by bis' vote for the pres
idency, he should be manly enough
to answer It JuBt as directly. I there
fore say that I expect to vote for Wil
liam H. Taft.
"If for no other reason I support
Mr Taft because on comparing him
personally with Mr Bryan, his chief
opponent, I find the balance of fitness
and temperament entirely on his side.
The election of Mr Taft will, I be
lieve, make for law and order and sta
bility of business. He is ,pot a man
I judge to adventure with rash ex
periments to Impede a return to pros
perity by advocating measures sub
versive of industrial progress..
"The question of candidates seems
to me peculiarly a personal one in
this campaign, as the leading orators
on both sides have not succeeded In
drawing party lines, 4s based on plat,
forms, with any great clearness. I
do, however, support the general re
publican position on the tariff and
the currency. I have always been a
republican. .
"I feel the more impelled to answer
this question because it cannot be
said that the present administration
has in any way whatever favored the
special interest to which my life has
been devoted. That, - however, does
not excuse , me -from publishing my
opinion and doing what I consider my
duty as a citizen."

FUNNY FINANCIERING
Chicago, Oct. 30. Ten million
, dollars In round figures out of a
total of $18,000,000 put up by inves
tors for the bankrupt Chicago and
Milwaukee Electric railway company
has gone into something else besides
construction, according to reports of
certified accountants to the receiver
appointed by federal Judge Peter S.
Grosscup.
The principle feature of the ac
countants reports were made public
to-day.
The reports show that $8,454,000
including the floating debt have
been spent in the construction of
the ; entire , road, Outstanding
against this Is a total bond and cer
tificate Issue of $16,000,000 and
other debts amounting to $2,169,
000 making a total debt of $18,169,?
000. The difference between this
amount and the money actually ex
pended en the road Is $9,715,000.
Only a hazy idea- of the ultimate
disposition of this $9,715,000 exists
outside the circle of the proporters
of the company. A tremendously
large amounUwas distributed in the
selling of bonds at extremely low
prices.
The Wisconsin division of the road
is the most striking example of ex
traordinary financing. The actual
cost of the construction was $2,
250,000. AgainsMhis is a debt of
$13,929,805.-, Receiver Moore was
appointed by Judge Grosscup at the
instance of the Lowenfeldt London

BOY WAS TONY MATZ.
Strayed From Home in. Hartford
May Be Demented.
The Identity of the mysterious
youth who was found on South Main
street yesterday morning by Patrol
man Hayes was learned to-day. The
youg man is Tony Metz of 39 Pros
pect street, Hartford. Although the
young man refused to talk yesterday
when taken to the Waterbury hospi
tal the Hartford police learned last
night that a young man had been
found in this city. As Mrs Matz had
at that time informed the Hartford
authorities of the disappearance of
her son, they came to the conclusion
that it was Matz who had been found
in this city. His sister came to Wa
terbury to-day and this afternoon
took her brother home with her. He
is apparently demented and a few
weeks ago had an attack similar to
that which he is now passing
through. At that time he was picked
up In Hartford and taken to a hospl.
tal in that city. ..

The rain storm of last . night
amounted to .77 of an inch of water.
The precipitation for the whole
month of October foots up 2.43 of
an inch, nearly all of which fell
wltbln the past week. This is a long
way short of what is needed, but it
has helped the reservoirs wonder
fully and may be the means of tid
ing things along without any serious
trouble sntll we get some more. The
city never was so near a water fam
ine and if it had come it would not
take long to open people's eyes as
to what It means. Very few ot the
shops could do buulne'.s without
city water and a gtaeral suspension
of business would not be very wel
come at this time. ' In all serious
ness the aldermen should do some
thing regarding the water question.
The subject is too serious to trifle

MACK TELLS SECRET
New York, Oct 30. Charges were
made by National Chairman Mack
to-day that the decalratlon of John
D. Rockefeller for Taft for president
was the result' of the deal between
the republican, national committee
and the Standard Oil Interests where
by National Chairman Hitchcock re
ceived large' campaign contributions
and Mr Rockefeller the promises.
Mr Mack said that undoubtedly
the $29,000,000 fine of the Standard
Oil Co would be fixed up In the event
of Mr Taft's election as a part'of the
bargain. The democratic national
chairman said: 1
"The Standard Oil Co has landed
where everybody knew It would land.
Mr Kocekefeller held back for a bar
gain and got what he wanted. His
declaration for Taft Is good for at
least 100,000 votes In the. doubtful
Btates. I cannot speculate on the ex
act amount the republican national
committee received from Mr Rocke
feller, but one can rest assured that
they both received their price, Hitch
cock getting the money and Rocke
feller the promises, which suggest
the question whether Taft is with
Rockefeller or Roosevelt.
"We now have an oil trust and the
steel trust lined up side by side work
ing for Mr Taft's candidacy. Mr Car
negie's statement yesterday on his ar
rival from Europe that the election
of Mr Bryan would be a tragedy is
not only shocking but should arouse
the Indignation of all fair minded
citizens of the country regardless of
party affiliations. Mr Carnegie, I am
reliably Informed, is not even a voter
in this country. Mr Carnegie has
amassed a large fortune as the re
sult in part at least of republican
policies, special privileges and a rob
ber tariff, which Mr Bryan and every
true democrat condemns as so odious
and oppressive as to demand Imme
diate reform."
National Chairman Mack declared
that he had learned that the republi
can national committee had a cam
paign fund of $3,000,000 and that
of this sum. $2,000,000 was being
used for the purpose of coercion and
bribery. The national chairman said
further that $200,000 of the republi
can campaign fund had been sent
into Indiana and more than that sum
had been sent into Ohio.
