THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT El EN -

NI AL CONVENTION BEING

HELD IN INDIANAPOLIS.

Letter cf Greeting From President

Theodore Roosevelt Was Read to

the Assemblage.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. I>< t. 6.?Thespacious auditorium of Tomlinson hall

was crowded in every part this morn-ing it the opening of the biennial con-vention of the .National League Of Re-publican clubs, owing to the interest

in the presidential campaign the at-

tendance is unusually huge, and is

likewise remarkable for the number ofprominent party leaders present.

Among these are republican senators,

representatives, governors and otherleaders from many states.

It was a few minutes after ten o'-

clock when the national president. J.Hampton Moore. of Pennsylvania.

? ailed the gathering to order. Morethan one thousand delegates wereranged by states on the Boor of thehall, while several thousand spectatorsoccupied the rear and the galleries.

After brief welcome and responsesSecretary Blbert W. Weeks, of lowa,

read the call for the gathering, andvarious paragraphs of which wereloudly landed. President Moorethan pro< led to deliver his annualaddress, which was permeated with re-

publican fervor and cordially received.Another feature of the opening sessionwas th,. reading of a letter of greeting

from President Roosevelt.The work of the convention is to in-

dud.- the e!e< tion of officers, the lead-ing of reports from committees and re-

tiring officers, a general discussion ofplans for th- campaign and addressesby prominenl party leaders. Tonight

there h ill he a mass meeting at whichaddresses will be delivered by Senator

Beveridge aid Leslie M. Shaw, secre-tary of the Treasury.

The October Pilgrim.The new and notably high standard

set by The Pilgrim for September isadmirably maintained in the issue forOctober which has just been received.While without any partisan leaningwhatever, the department of comment

as conducted by Hiram Bffoe Greene,

touches upon the v arious phases of po-litical activity in an interesting man-ner, without neglecting topics of in-terest in the arts and sciences. Thedepartment is what it purports to be.

a resume of the month's activities alongall the lines that are of interest to themodern man and woman. The leading

article in The Pilgrim for October is by

Ada L. A. Mm cut t. whi may be calledthe most widely traveled of American

women. For many months Miss Mur-

cutt dwelt with the family of a Jap-

anese farmer in the very heart of theMikado's realm and her article treatsof a little know n and less appreciatedphase of mo,lain Japan ?the agricul-

tural phase. Writing as she does,

specifically of the farmer, his work, hishome, his wife and his children, her ar-ticle will be read with keen interest byevery one into whose hands The Pil-grim for <\u25baetober falls.

Perhaps the once feature of The Pil-grim for October is the double pageof photographs illustrating "Mother-hood Around the World." In fiction, theissue is especially rich. There is onestory entitled "After the Manner of theFlesh." by X. Josephine Brangwin thatfor human nature and delicious humorwalls into line with "Mis. Wiggs of theCabbage Patch." A second story byEunice Sayre Raymond tells of themystery of "The House at No. 9," whilethe second part of "The Girl and theDeal." by Karl Edwin Harriman bringsthe characters to Chicago in theirtrans-continental love affair. In ad-dition to these features of The Pilgrimfor October, the many useful depart-ments of value to woman in generaland the housewife in particular aremaintained.

ter. In the meantime Mabel Wilson ap-

peared at her home in the flesh. What

w ill be done with the coffin purchasedis the only question now bothering the

Wilsons.

WORKING OUT BIG CANAL IDEAS

Isthmian Commission Has Not Yet De-cided On Character- of Ditch.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. s.?Offi-cials of the isthmian canal commissionsay that no agreement or decision has

been reached concerning the character

of the waterway to be constructed be-

tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans?

whether the canal shall be built with

locks or on the sea level.

Several parties of engineers are at

work under instructions of the com-mission. These are seeking to solve

various problems at different places

along the route. When these reports

are made the commission will give

them consideration and submit its

views to the president. It is expected

that at least six months, and probably

longer, will be required to determine

the nature of the canal to be con-structed.

One of the parties, under George

Ehle, is investigating the problem of

preventing floods in the Chagres river

from destroying the canal after its

construction. The plan under discus-

sio is to build a tunnel, perhaps fifteen

miles long, which will carry the sur-plus water from the river to the Paci-fic ocean.

GREAT PRIMATE IN SLUMS

PRELATE WITH BOOKER WASH-

INGTON AND JACOB RIIS VISITS

TENEMENT DISTRICT.

Archbishop of Canterbury Wanted to

See the Hovels in America's

Greatest City.

NEW YORK, Oct. s.?One of thefirst questions which the Archbishop

of Canterbury asked when he arrivedin America was: " Where is Booker T.Washington. Shall I be able to see

: him?"Yesterday the archbishop learned

that Mr. Washington was in New York

on business connected with the Tus-kogee institute and sent for the dis-tinguished educator to come to seehim. The primate of all England, and

the highest personage in Great Britain

next to the royal family, with a seat in

the house of Lords and a salary of

$75,000 a year, in the afternoon made atour of the tenements with Dr. Wash-ington. Jacob A. Hiis and a police ser-geant.

The party went to the old Five

Points. Mr. Riis told what it was like

when Dickens wrote of it. "Here," said

Mr. Riis, taking them to the tene-

ment at No. 14 Baxter street, "before

we look at modern New York, J let meshow you a piece of old England, aslike it as can be. It is the only bit of

the kind I know of in New York city.'

Many years ago this was called Mur-derer's alley, and it deserved its name.Thieves and crooks of all kinds knewits byways that led into Pearl street

and Baxter street, and had their runthere.

'You call this Murderer's alley?"

said the archbishop. "It might beWhitechapel. It is truly a piece of old

London."

The party went forth to the Mulberry-

Bend and heard the story of how thatunutterable pigsty was transformedinto a park. To show what it had beenlike, they went up the street to No. 91

and through a covered cellarway intothe yard. An ash-barrel took up morethan half the passage, but the arch-bishop wrestled with it successfully.

Within were big rear tenements.

Detective Sergeant Downing, whoaccompanied the party, said a word inItalian to the tenants, and they opened

their doors with hospitable invitation.The party went into a smotheringbedroom, and saw where the law had

"Several years ago," said Mr. Riis.

"this effort to lei in light and air began

and the first year 40,000 windows werecut in dark rooms. There are yet 325,-

--i 000 rooms without natural air and light

in New York."

Tho archbishop looked amazed that

|as a class the people were thoroughly

j alive to w hat the changes meant to

j them.

After looking through' the Jewish

quorter the party went t<> the Tombs

eomt. Later District Attorney Jerome

escorted the primate's party throughthe municipal buildings. When seen

tonight Dr. Washington, in sneaking of

his trip, said:

"It seemed to me that sonic of the

tenements we visited were in worsecondition from overcrowding than ourown one-room cabins in the south. In

our cabins we, at least, have fresh air.

In some of the tenements we saw today

there is no chance for a breath of it.

I could not help thinking how great the ?

Xew York over the children of the

south. In the south our children are,

sometimes, unable to go to school at

all."

"The archbishop of Canterbury w is

deeply interested in everything. 1 waacharmed to find him a man of sui h

genuine simplicity of character. That

is what we all need, simplicity and areturn to the simple life."
