WASHINGTON, Nov. .-A.lvices re ceived in Wasnlngton today show that thu jiresluent, who is aboard tha battieshly Ixwisiana headed lur tne Isthmus of Fnn imt, U well on his way time. Tha tianstcr I'rcm the yacht Mayflower, on wlucu iho start was mado lrom Washington, to me Louisiana took -place last mgnt in Chesapeake bay. Uho ship passed out the capes to sea early this morn Ins And at noon passed Capo Ilattoras. The latest news given out by Secretary Loeb con cerning the whereabouts of the vessel was contained In the following dispatch from Captain Couden, commanding the Louis- t noon, the Louisiana parsed Cape Hat lijis. Sea smooih. All well. gricretnry Loeb expects but one message feuy from the president unless clrcum t.uiices Intervene-which require more fre quent communications. Any matter which requires the President's personal attention will be communicated Immediately to him by wireless telegraph. Small budgets of the important news of the day also will bo made up in Wash ington and sent to the president so he may be kept accurately and constantly In formed of what is going on in the United States. The first wireless message received at the Navy department In connection with the president's Panama canal trip came today, as follows: Louisiana sailed from Tiny Point about 11 p. m. last night and was noax Capo Henry at 5 a. m. today. Passing; Virginia, Capes. NORFOLK. V., Nov. 9. President Roose velt, on board tho United States battleship Louisiana, bound for the Isthmus of Pan ama, passed out to sea, through the capes of Virginia exactly at 6:10 o'clock this morning. The Louisiana was followed by the armored cruisers Tennessee and Wash ington, which are to convoy the battleship on Its southern trip. When some distance off Cape Henry the Louisiana raised signals of some kind, which the United State weather observer at tho cape was unable to distinguish be. cj use of a great amount of smoke being emitted from he funnels of the Louisiana and other vessels at the time. Neither of the warships made any stop, however, and soon passed out pf sight to the southeast of Cspe Henry. The transfer last night of the presidential party In upper Chesapeake bay from the yacht Mayflower to the Louisiana was with out special incident, so far as is known here The weather at sea today Is charming and the conditions for a delightful trip by the president and his party could not be more promising than at present. Wireless telegraph messages are expected from the president all along the coast. The Louisiana will not leave the coast shore for any great distance and will be In touch by wireless almost during the entire trip. Wireless telegraphic communication be tween the battleship Louisiana and the convoying cruiser Tennessee heard In Nor folk today, told that all was well with President Roosevelt and his party, aboard the Louisiana bound for Panama. ' The warships were then some distance to the southeast of Cape Henry, passing down the North Carolina coast. RANGERS FIGHT.

A special to the Chronicle from Laredo, Tex., says four Texas rangers sent to Rio Grands City to quiet turbulent political conditions there and to Investigate the assassination of Dls trlrt JudB Welch, which occurred the night before the election, wers ambushed by a lwdy of armed Mexicans between Fordyce and Rio Grande City late last night. The ranger were asleep in camp when awakened by a volley of shots from the darkness. A pitched battle ensued and four of the attacking party were killed, one fatally wounded and two captured. The rangers escaped unscathed. Governor La n ham today ordered a com pany of cavalry to Starr county and a spe cial train Is now carrying troops on a fast run. Ths situation In Starr was brought about by alleged election Irregularities, due to political clubs supplying Mexican residents with poll tax receipts and insisting that they be allowed to vote Judge Welch, who was assassinated Monday night, had gone from his home In Corpus Christl to be present at Rio Grande City on election day In an effort to prevent dis orders. He was assassinated while asleep at night.

Sev eral shooting sffrsys occurred, but no one was klld or wounded. It Is charged by one faction that Judge Wulch was niur. ilered by a hired assassin and that last night's ambus.;ade ef the rangers was In BilgsteU by the same faction which Inspired i he inurde." of Judge Welch, There are reports here of continued riot ing it Ilio Grande City, tha extent of which is not now known.

The rapidly succeeding fires, the crowds -f evicted tenant und the terrifying ni- mors spread through th; neighborhood, with tho constant appearance and rear. neurHiice of tho fire engines and the biff 'juads of police, raised tho p-ople through out the vicinity to a high pitch of txclte ment. which did not lcsj-en until daylight brought a measure, of assurance that the incendiarism was stonped fir a while. The excitement spread even to Rroidway, and In the Marie Antoinette. Ansonia, Empire nnd otheT big hotelsl In the neighborhood of Lincoln square, the guests were aroused by the conflngratlor . In St. Paul hotel. Sixty, first street and Columbus avenue; tho Hotel. Hudson, at Sixty-second street, both close to the fires, all th" cuests w.-rc nrouse-1. All th? houses where toe fires occurred were flat houses. Thrco of them wero occupied by whites and two by negroes. Most of the tenants were already In bed when the fire first broke out and ewaned to the streets In the scantiest clothing. The first fire was in n five-story tene mcnt house at K6 West Sixtieth street, oc cupied by five families, all of whom es caped. The firemen were still husy fighting that fire when the second blnzo began at 137 West Sixtieth street. In a lot of rubbish in the basement. All the tenants escaped. At the third fire, at 215 West Sixtieth street, there were several narrow escapes and daring rescues of the tenants. Wlllinm Murray, who lived on the third floor, car ried out five of his children, and James Smith, a spectator, went Into the house and brought the sixth Murray child down to the second floor window and Jumped with It in his arms to the sidewalks. An other spectator caught them both. The child was unhurt. An aged negro was car ried out by other spectators. An hour later the fourth Tire was dis covered a block north at 249 West Sixty first street. It was quickly extinguished. The fifth and worst of the fires was dts covercd at 110 West Sixty-first street at 3 a. m., while the street was still thronged with frightened and excited people. There were twenty apartments In the building and the escape of the occupants of the upper floors was cut off by a blare In the lower hall. .The -tenants wert- k tlased that they were in danger or loB'ng their lives when policemen and llremen went up on the fire escapes and brought them down. Adrian Tompkins, who lived on the top floor, lingered so long that he was pain fully burned while climbing down the fli-o escape. In each case the firemeA quickly stopped tho progress of the flames. The lots was about IJO.ono. Frank Morris of Boston, a vaudeville per former, was arrested on suspicion of set ting the tires. The police Hllego that in each of tho fires tenants reported tliat when they fled from their appartmcnts Morris was the first person they met. When Morris, whose homo is in Boston, wan arraigned In police court. Fire Marshal Prlal expre.wd the opinion that he was mentally irresponsible and usked tho magis trate to commit the boy to Bellovuo hospi tal for five days for examination. Tho 1 magistrate, however, refused and held Morris In 12.000 ball for further examination on Sunday. NO PLACE FOR POLLARD'S CASH 8"eant-at-Arins of House Sas It Belongs to Pollard and Not to Government. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Nov. . (Special Tele gram.) The attempt of Congressman Pol. lard to refund $1,881, representing- sulary paid him from March 4 to July is. 1906, will probably prove futile. It was the conten tion of his opponent In the late election that as he whs first elected on u later date at special election to flu the unexpired term of Senator Burkett he was not en titled to salary for the period when he was technically not a member. Sergeant-at-Arms Casson is not in the city, but his assistant said there was no precedent so far as he knew for such an action on the purt of a congressman and he could not say positively Just what might be done with the draft from Pollard when It ar rived, except, of course, it would be hold until Mr. Casson returns. He expressed the opinion, however, thsf the draft would be returned to Mr. Pollard. Mr. Pollard, he ssld, Is clearly legally entirled to the money and Mr. Casson could not take It unless Mr. Pollard Is to anxious to get rid of his cash as to make a rresent of tha draft to Mr. Cason personally. There seems to be no way to cover this money bsck Into the treasury except through one avenue, and that would lie to send It direct to the treasury and have It placed In what is known as the "conscience fund." General Ainworth, military secretary, was shown a local story In The Bee of November 7 to the effect thst there Is some talk in Omaha of a move toward (ret ting the Ute Indians sssigned to the aban doned Fort Niobrara military reservation. General Air.sworth said that If such a movement is afoot In Omaha he has not heard of it. He said the present plan would undoubttdly be carried out, that Is, to tske the renegade White P.ivcr Utea to Fort Meade. Rural carriers appointed for Nebraska routes: Crete, route 3. Rolland O.

The governor once ventured tho remark that "thiro bus been a good deal of hide-and-seek in law enforcement In Omaha," but he expressed implicit faith In "my board," us he termed the commission. These charges were first heard by the governor on October 18. At the outset the governor declared It was a matter for the supreme court to settle, that of whether the police commission or tho mayor could be held responsible for the enforcement of the laws In Omaha; but he explained his position in the premises by stating that It was th bounden duty of the, chief of police to enforce thu laws, the Sunday closing liquor nw' being particularly in question. Then tho governor added that the police commission, including the mayor, Is responsible for the conduct of the chief of police and members of the police de partment. Confides In Chief Dons hue. Getting down to carpet tacks, the gov ernor declared he would be disappointed If Chief of Police Donahue did not cause every saloon in Omiha to be closed next Sunday. His excellency also decided not to discharge tho commissioners. Attorney T. J. Mahoney. for the Civic Federation, expressed a willingness to drop tho proceedings and not go Into a hearing of evidence in the case if assurance wero given that the Slocumb law would be en forced In Omaha. The commissioners ap. peared willing to carry out the plan sug gested by the governor, so with that under standing the matter wns put in statu ouo until such time as the Civic Federation shall decide to withdraw the charges. The meeting was called at 2 o'clock by the governor. Commissioners Dr. George L. Miller. J. W. Thomas and W. J. Broatc.h were present. Commissioner Lee Spratlen being in New York. For the Civic Federa tion were T. J. Mahoney, I. W. Cnrpenter, Dr. A. B. Somers and C. S. lay ward. Other Interested listeners were Judge Lee Estcllc. City Prosecutor; JDaoisL rrusidlng Elder Gorst of the Methodist church. Rev. J. W. Conley, Rev. J. Randolph Smith, Rev! C. C. Clssell and Mayor Dablman. Tho governor began .his remarks hy say ing: "Tho vital point in this controversy is enforcement of the law and the ques tion involved Is Sunday closing of saloons." Then the governor rend the Slocumb law which referred to election days and Sun days and said he understood saloons were closed in Omaha on election days. Board f an Revoke Licenses. "There should be no controversy between citizens regarding enforcement of the laws. The police board can control saloons hy revoking or refusing licenses to violators of the law. The statute provides thnt th,5 board should give instructions to tho chief of police and the board should know what the chief is doing, and then the question resolves Itself Into one of law enforcement. The question as to who shall enforce the laws has caused some difference of opinion, and at the. re cent hearing before me I found eminent council on each side, and I am led to be lieve each side was sincere In Its convic tions," continued the governor. Comnilsjiioncr Miller asked the governor what would result If the board should issue certain orders to tho chief of police and the mayor Issue conflicting orders, the mayor being the "conservator of the peace and chief executive of the city." "Charges could be' filed against the chief if he falls to enforce the law. It Is tho duty of the board to know tho chief la enforcing the law. I am Inclined to think there has been some hlde-und-week in the matter of law enforcement In Omaha. Any cltlxen can file charges against the thief of police If saloons are open next Sunday and the board could remove the chief, is that plain?" said the governor. Saloon Men Shoold Obey Law. The governor said the saloon keepers ex pect and rocolve protection of the law and should in return obey the law. "The city Is entitled to a complete en forcement of the laws. No liquor license can legally be issued, to a violator of the law." he added. Commissioner Thomas remarked that the board hud always been well-Intending and unanimous In its actions. "Do you mean to trll me that a saloon will be refused a license If the proprietor has kept It open d Sundays?" asked the governor of Mr. Thomas. "Wc recognize the law is mandatory on this matter," replied Mr. Thomas. To avert a pending controversy between T. J. Mahoney and Dr. Miller the governor raid: "I hold the chief of police should, next Sunday, arrest every saloon keeper whose ealoon la found open. The mayor may op pose Bunday closing, but he does not ap point the police and has only one voto In the board." The governor's last remark was: "I have confidence in my board." Chief of Police Donah uo did not attend Iho meeting. The governor .-aid he ex pected tha chief, but upon Inquiry at the latter s office it was said the chief bud gone to Council Bluffs. 77 NEVADA RETURNS MISSING Indian Manner Carrying; Reports from Wonder Mining District DIs. appears Earonte.

LINCOLN, Nov. 9. Commenting on re sults of Tmsday's election, W. J. Bryan gets considerable satisfaction In viewing the outcome from 11 democratic standpoint. He regrets the defeut of W. R. Hearst m New York, but cannot see wherein Pretl dent Roosevelt can find any comfort in tho vote cf tho Empire state. Mr. Bryan says tho president's personal attack on Mr. Hearst was In bad taste, and he Insists that the attack did not favorably Imrrrss tho public. Particularly gratifying to the democratic heart, says Mr. Bryan, Is the return of Missouri to the fold. In a statement Issued tonight Mr. Bryan says, in part: The election of 19,5 indicatn a trend In favor of the demorcatio party. It p-oves that the democratic party Is growing st-nnger as republican policies are devel oi'fd. In New Tork the party has won a siirnnl victory in spitf of the tremendous efforts put forth In behalf of tho Pd-n n Istrntlon. The republicans had all the mon. v they wanted; they hnd the support of all the great corporation", and at 'h--rlos they had whatever influence the ad ministration could lend. The tact that the, democrats elected every state offWr ex cepting the governor shows that in the Em pire state the republican party has been re pudiated. hiiimen McCarren and MrClrllan. The defeat of Mr. Hearst, tho democratic anu inuepenueiice ieauo caiiu.oaie ior gov ernor, wtiile a great uisappuinimirni to uls frienus and to Uio party, is exi-i.in,ed Jiy facts which . rob Mr. hugues' victoiy of both glory and political significance. Mr. McCarren, whom Mr. Hearst denounced as a boss, threw his influence: to Hugues a.id cut down Mr. Hearst s voto in B.ooklyn. Mayor Mc.ciellan. tne legt'litv f whose election Mr. 'Hearst had denied, uad his Influence for Mr. Hughes and cut down the Hearst vote in New York. Mr. Murphy, tho head uf Tammany, whllo supp, rtln4 the ticket, could not put much enthusiasm mto't.v- campnlp-T owing" to the personal eontrov rsles which ho had had with Mr. Hearst. It Is evident, therefore, that Mr. Hughes owes his victory not to rcpub icau votes, but to democratic votes biought to him by the very men whom ho and the re publican loaders have been denouncing for yea rs. President Roostvelt cannot find very much cause for rejoicing in the New York re turns. To have bin own stat go demo cratic cannot be gratifying to him. and to find that his pert-onal attack upon Mr. Hearst had little lnllucnc on the result compared with the Inflm-nre. exerted bv McCarnn. Murphy and Croker will not gladden his ihunksgivlng d.iy. The president's personal attack on Mr. Hearst was in hnd taste, to sav the least, and the failure of that attack to favi rnMv Imprcss the public ought to be a warning for tho future. If the trend toward democracy continues hh strong for the next two yar as it has been for the last two years. New Yori' en be counted among the democratic states in 1908, and Mr. Hearst is In a position to d- valiant work In securing a niilonal triumph for progressive democratic Ideas. Democratic Gains In Congress. Tho democratic gains I11 congress hnve not been as great as the partv cxpee.ed, but they have been sulliclent to make. It p.o.i nblo that the democrats will control tun congress to be elected In ir'. In nearly all th legislatures In the middle states the democrats have inadu decided gains, and these promise much for the senatorial con tests which take place two years hcno. In Iowa, Kansas and California the dem ocrats made a splendid fight for their gub ernptorlnl ticket. The reduction of Gov ernor Cummins' majority from more than 70,090 to about 20.000 puts Iowa in the doubt fut states for two years hence. Kansas and California can no longer be claimed as cer tainly republican. Tho fight mad" by M Harris in the former state und bv Mr. B-Il In the latter give more than a reasi liable hop.- of success two yours hence. In Nebraska the d, mi cra's hopel with the aid f the populists to elect th"lr s a e ticket and their candidate for I'nitod States senator. In this they failed, but they have ina) substantial gains throughout tho state, as shown by the vote on cnMrress men and the legislative ticket, us well as by the state ticket. They have gained one con gressman, and came within lets thsn 'o0 votes of guJnlng another. In two other dis tricts the republican majorities have been so much reduced that we csn reasonably count on four democratic congressmen t"vo years from now. In the legislature the fu slonlsts will have about four times as many as they had two years airo.

Protects the Honor of Grant. One of the most important features ot the entire meeting was the unanimous adoption of the report of the committee, consisting of General Oliver O. Howard, Mrs. John A. Logan, General Vespasian Warner and General Jonti C. Black- hs chairman, refuting the charge that Gen-" era! t. s. Grant had indicated immediately following the surrender of Lee that he contemplated declaring himself as dictator. This charge was reiterated dining an ad dress delivered on Memorial day, 1906, at tho tomb of General lT. S. Grant by Judge Stafford on that occasion: The report of the committee states at somo considerable length that there Is no such record In the archives of tha War de partment to warrant such a charge, and produces a letter from Oeneral Fred D. Grant, denying that his father ever made any such a threat or ever contemplated such a move. The report clearly and emphatically ex onerates General Grant from any such a procedure, either contemplated or Bug s' nod. Discussion Is Animated. The report brought forth a warm dis cussion. General Howard, his voice trem bling with emotion, denounced the ttor, pronouncing General Grant incapable of such a thing. General Iwdge was equally vehement In his denunciation of the state men, both he and General Howard having heard the oration in question and denounced It at the time as an aspersion upon tuu fame and character of Grant. Judge J. R. Reed of Council Bluffs, an honored member of the society, spoaa with intense feeling on this aspersion upon th memory of the great commander and said- "Never for an instant did Grant ever contemplate or dream of a dictatorship Had he done so 1,000,00) sabera wero ready to spring from their scabbards n defense of law, liberty, right, humanity and Jus tice. Had Grant ever for a moment dreamed of a dictatorship his time was that dreadful night when the great Lin coln lay dying from an assassin's bullet when members of his cabinet were writhing In pain from the assault of murderous as sassins and the government stood on thu verge of untold disaster. But Grant was too great, too grand to let a dream of am, bltion disturb him for a moment Hia only thought was that of the people of the United States. He had the supremest con fidence In them stid knew that no trial, no emergency, no disaster, no sorrow, was loo great for tho American people to meet with berolo fortitude and stern realliaUoa of loyal duty." . . , Full Report of Committee.
