Cannon, United States Senator" Penrose, Congressman Olmsted, of Harrisburg, former District Attorney Graham and.

Peter Boyd will be among the principal speakers, there will be inaugurated a brilliant wind-up of the State and local campaigns. Judging from the applications for tickets for the several meetings, there will be a large attendance at each of the gatherings, which are- to be held in the Academy of Music, Town Hall, Germantown, St. James' Hall, West Philadelphia, and Labor Lyceum Hall, Second and Cambria streets, for the northeastern section, simultaneously. While club men will parade to the meetings, these demonstrations will be purely local, and are not to be permitted to detract from the meetings, where it is predicted some noteworthy speeches will be made. "Uncle Joe" Cannon is always an interesting talker, and in this city, where he has a host of admirers, he is apt to "let himself loos?" and pay his respects to some of those who have been seeking to create the impression that he is not as popular as he formerly was.

"Uncle Joe" has a way of hitting back which is peculiarly his own, and if he shall be in a pugnacious humor, his remarks will be well worth hearing. Tie is scheduled to address all four meetings, and in order to cover the ground he and his fellow spellbinders will be wisked from meeting to meeting in big touring cars. Senator Penrose, who is an aspirant for re-election, members of the Legislature elected this year having a vote upon the selection of his successor in January next, may have something interesting to say about himself, his candidacy and the issues involved in the na tional campaign. Congressman Olmsted fills very important committee assignments in the National House, and former District Attor-' ney Graham and Mr. Boyd are both interesting campaigners.

Candidate for Sheriff, Joseph Gilfillan, since he has taken the stump has demonstrated his ability as an orator, and his recent experience witn critics showed, that he is abundantly able to take care of himself.

24. William R. Hearst delivered a speech in New York tonight for the Independence Party, and, as he had previously announced, read another batch of letters from the Standard Oil Company to public men. Snys Parties Are Corrupt Mr. Hearst began by referring to his previous disclosures regarding so-called Standard Oil letters and commenting thereon said: "1 have endeavored to show clearly the corruption of the two old parties and the need for a new party.

"I have endeavored to show the necessity for the measures which the platform of the Independence Party demands if the republic is to endure. "I have considered it my solernn duty to give the citizens of this Nation "the information I possessed. "I have periormed my duty impartially and fearlessly. "My disclosures are about at an end. but I have an important batch of letters tonight bearing upon a matter close to the heart of all good citizens.

"The Independence Party platform declares for the election of Senators by the people. I have fought for that reform for over twenty years, and I am happy to see that the necessity for it is now universally reeofrized. "The Independence partv platform also calls for the election of all judges by the neonle. "There are m.y sincere and patriotic citizens who do not as yet realize the advantage of this plank, but I purpose to show tonight the irifluences that are exerted whenever oportunity to secure the appointment of judges favorable to the Standard Oil presents itself. "Before reading these letters I am going to ask my friends in the audience to extend to me a fond farewell.

"Information has been delicately conveyed to me that if I stop reading letters right now, all will be forgiven, but if I make another damaging disclosure, the whole power of the Standard Oil will be exercised against me. "I say farewell to my friends, therefore, because I am going to read the letters. Write tetter to Stone 26 Broadway. Dec. 5, 1002.

A sailor of Danish birth now in a hospital in this city is the object of the kindly inquiries of two of the world's rulers.

His name is Viggo Pederson, and both the King of Denmark and President Roosevelt are solicitous for his recovery. Pederson was until recently attached to the Mayflower, the President's yacht. He suffered an accident and, believing he could not live, returned to Copenhagen, his native city, to die. Mr. Roosevelt kept track of Pederson's movements and wrote a letter to Minister Egan, asking him to call on, the injured man and con vey his hopes of his recovery.

While at the hospital Mr. Egan learned that the King also was aware of President Roosevelt's interest in Pederson, and had sent orders that he be given every attention. Pederson is highly pleased at the interest taken in his welfare, and it was said at the hospital today that he undoubtedly would recover.

The American battleship fleet steamed out of Yoko ha ma harbor at o'clock this morning for Olongapo, Philippines, and Amoy, China. The day was beautiful and clear, and the warships passing down the bay with a Japanese escort presented a fine appearance. There was not a single desertion from the fleet while here and not one bluejacket was- -absent ship last night, and the conduct of the men was remakably orderly.

Carried Admlrn.1 Sperry on Shoulders The scene on board the battleship Mikasa last night during the reception to the American naval officers was one of unqualified enthusiasm. Toward the close of the reception at a collation on the afterdeck of the battleship, Captain Okada drank the health of Ambassador O'Brien. Then followed a demonstration that will be long remembered by the Americans. The Japanese admirals and captains raised Ambassador O'Brien on their shoulders and marched around the deck with him, everybody on board wildly cheering. The same performance was repeated with Rear Admiral Sperry and each of the other American admirals present.

President Tlmnlta Mllco.lo Ambassador O'Brien at Tokio will present to the Emperor of Japan the following message from President Roosevelt, conveying the thanks of the American people for the treatment accorded the officers and men of the Atlantic fleet on its voyage to that country: "His Majesty, the Emperor of Japan. "Through the American Ambassador I wish in this personal manner to extend to your Majesty the thanks of the American people for the signal generositj-, courtesy and hospitality with which the American fleet has been received on its visit to Japan. The people of the United States have been deeply touched by this fresh and striking proof of friendship and regard. The officers of the fleet report that, hearty though their reception has been everywhere else, it has nowhere been more hearty, nowhere more hospitabl than in Japan. On behalf of this Nation I desire to express my acknowledgments to you and to say how deeply this Nation appreciates this fresh proof and seal of the ancient friendship between the two peoples.

Your message to me was not only deeply appreciated by me, but when published gave a lively satisfaction to all the citizens of the United States.

SHIPS FOR CHINA FIRE BUGS START TWO LUMBER YARD BLAZES, IS THEORY Police Much Agitated Over Supposed Incendiary Work SHEETS OF FLAMES HOLD UP TRAIN Fire which gave every indication of being of incendiary origin was discovered last night by a passing policeman in the large lumber yard of Joseph Collins 4 Son, at Twelfth street and Glenwood avenue, and was extinguished barely in time to prevent a damaging blaze. The discovery of this fire last night, coupled with the almost total destruction early j-esterday morning of the lumber yard of Jesse Lukens, six blocks away, has led the police of the Park and Lehigh avenues station to start a rigid investigation covering both blazes. Policeman John Nelson, of the Park and Lehigh avenues station, was passing the Collins lumber yard last night about 9 o'clock when he noticed a flickering light in a small shed. He went into the yard, and as he reached the shed a tongue of flame darted from one of the windows. Nelson hurried to a fire-alarm box and turned in an alarm.

Engine Company No. 50 responded, and in a short time the fire was under control. The police are firm in their belief that the fire was started by an incendiary. They declare that the fire gained great headway in a comparatively short time, and was strated in an obscure place such as would only be seen by accident until the blaze reached destructive proportions. Fin men Block Trains Passenger and freight trains on the New York branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad were halted for an hour or more early yesterday morning by flames which swept across the Itraeks from Jesse Lukens' big lumber yard, Sixth and Glenwood avenue, which was almost totally destroyed by fire.

Started presumably by an incendiary and gaining rapid headway the flames, embracing and consuming pile after pile of lumber, provided a stubborn battle for the firemen, several of whom collapsed under the intense heat from the burning wood. Finding the stock of lumber doomed to destruction upon their arrival the firemen concentrated their efforts in pro- Continued on Uth Page. 6th Column NOTES, HE CLAIMS, WORTH $18,000 ABOVE SHORTAGE Allesred Embenler From Altoona Bank Explain Operations and Demands Balance Special to The Inquirer.

Wigton to recover a fraction over 18,000 from the stockholders of the Altoona Bank, an institution, from which, the police say, he confesses to have embezzled $118,000, was resumed in Blair county court today. J. G. Davis, bookkeeper of the bank at the time of the alleged discrepancies, testified that Wlgton falsified -the bank's books.

E. B. Isett, aged. 82, president of the Institution, stated on the witness stand that Wigton came to his house and with tears In his eyes confessed to having robbed the bank and offered to give everything he owned to save himself from disgrace.

Miss Tiedeman, who christened the cutter, is a student at Bryn Mawr College and an intimate friend of Miss Taft. daughter of the Republican nominee for the Presidency, who also attends that institution. The selection of a name for the newly launched craft was the cause of considerable debate.

It was at the suggestion of the City Councils of Savannah that his daughter was selected as sponsor.

Which Team Is Lucky Not Be Def eated To Thorpe Makes Grand Run of 43 Yards or Carisle Score. 25,000 Cheer FIRST HALF Indians SECOXD HALF Indians FIXAL SCORE Indians Penn Penn.

Penn Amid the showers and sunshine of yesterday afternoon the Pennsylvania team engaged in a football battle to the death with the Carlisle1 Indians on Fjranklin Field. Something like 25,000 persons saw Pennsylvania score a touchdown and goal in the first half, counting 6 points, and the same crowd later saAV the Indians, dispelling all belief in the tradition that once beaten they stay beaten, come back so strong and playing so fiercely that Penn was swept off the field. The cheering and roaring thousands beheld the Indians march upon the Pennsylvania goal line, and finally, after being repulsed, cross the line and kick the goal, thus tying up the score of the game. It "was Thcrpe, the nimble-footed halfback, who sped through the Pennsylvania line and by criss-crossing in the back field got clear of Reagan, who fell helpless at his feet, and then ran on, a total distance of 43 yards, to the goal line. Just as he was about to step across the line Captain Bill Hollenback, dashing across the field, jumped on the Indian's back.

He -was just too late. The men fell heavily together to the ground, and then it was seen that Thorpe held the ball safely over the line. Indians Tie tlie Score Loud were the cheers of the Indian maidens and braves high up in the big stands, and great was the noise of the Indian band seated down upon the field of play: The crowd was astonished. It all happened so quickly and the onslaught had been so. fierce that there was hardly time for thought of just what was happening.

There was still one hope Thorpe might not kick the goal and Penn would still be ahead by one point. Ballenti, the eel-like little quarter back, who had been handling kicks in the back-field in a most marvelous way, and by wonderful dodging had run the ball back many yards, punted the ball out. Libby caught it at an easy angle from the cross bar. A moment more and Thorpe had kicked the ball over and the score was tie, 0 to 6. After that Penn tried her best to again lead in the scoring, but she was unable to make any headway against the encouraged and fast-playing Indians.

And taking all in all, Penn was fortunate to escape with a tie score. The game belonged to the red men. They clearly outplayed the Red and Blue in the second half and only a penalty and an unfortunately fumble by Gardiner kept them away from the Penn goal on two occasions.

TENNESSEE HEARD HER GOVERNOR HAD Entire State Seems in Condition of Fear for Night-Riders "TIP" BURTON REPORTED TO HAVE BETRAYED MOB Special to The Inquirer.

NASHVILLE, Oct. 24. Great excitement was created this morning by reports which emanated from Covington, that Governor Malcolm Patterson had been assassinated by night riders. The Governor's own manner of taking the threat "that he would not live long" if he went to Samburg" was recalled and his utter carelessness for all threats increased the anxiety. He has declared that he will leave no stone unturned to find out the murderers of Captain Rankin," bring them to book and drive the night riders out of Tennessee.

It was not until noon that denials to the story of the Governor's assassination came from an authoritative source and allayed the anxiety.
