Petersburg Sunday night by gendarmes because of their association with several members of the Finnish Progressive party. They were held fit the gendarmerie headquarters all night. A representative of the Amer ican embassy appeared at the head quarters in tholr behalf, but he could take no action until morning. Kellogg Durlhnd, another American and a friend of Mr. Walling, who has been In St. Petersburg gathering ma terial for a aeries of lectures, was also taken into custody but later was released. No evidence upon which to hold Mr. Durland was found. Mr. Walling is a wealthy Social ist. He is a grandson of the late William H. English, who was vice presidential candidate In 1880, when General Hancock ran for the Ameri can presidency.' For several years past he has taken an active interest 1n the Russian struggle, and this is the third time he has visited Russia.

The navy department made public a synopsis of the report of the target practice by the battleships of the At lantic fleet which was had under bat tle conditions. The results were the best ever at tained in the navy under similar con ditions and it is announced that they have greatly encouraged the officers who directed the firing. They spent months of hard work preparing for this battle practice. The statement follows: "All 12-inch and 13-inch guns aver aged 30.7 per cent, of hits, 8-lnch guns avefnged 27 per cent., and 5-lnch, 6 inch and 7-Inch averaged 16 per cent. Out of 12 battleships firing, but three made low scores, less than 15 per cent., with 12-inch and 13-Inch guns; the remaining nlno ships made from 25 to C7 per cent, of hits. With 8-Inch guns three ships made from G to 16 per cent., the remainder making from 27 to 57 per cent. "The small guns G-inch were fired nt the same range as the heavy guns p.nd the results showed that these guns are of practically no use as bat tle weapons nt such ranges. "The target used was a rectangular piece of canvas 30 feet high by 60 feet wide. Had the target been, as lnrge as the profile of a battleship, it is estimated that at least twice as many hits would have been made." Carnegie Hero Awards.

"It is an honor for you and me, fel low Mississlpplans. to meet and enter tain with an old'tlme, fullhearted Southern hospitality the Hon. Theo dore Roosevelt, an honor flowing at once from his official dignity and from his many excellent traits of private character. "He Is our chief magistrate, Amer ica's chief magistrate, of the re united Dixieland and Yankeeland, never so firmly cemented In blood, opinion and sentiment as they are to day" Immediately after closing his ad dress President Roosevelt and party were rapidly driven to the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railway station, where a special train stood In waiting.

I am glad to be here In this historic city, this city forever memorable of the con flicts In which victor and vanquished alike showed such splendid courage, such splendid feallty to the light as it was given to each.

"It was from Vickshurg that a com pany of that famous Mississippi regi ment which won undying renown In e Mexican war under the gallant leadership of Its colonel, who after ward became the favorite son not only of Mississippi but of all the South, Jefferson Davis, came. Think how fort unate we are as a nation that It Is possible for the president of the na tion to come here today to be conduct ed through your National park by the surviving lieutenant general of the Confederate army and to feel that every Instance of heroism recorded by the monuments, alike to the Union and to the Confederate dead on that battlefield, 1:1 a Kubjeet for just pride to every citizen of this nation, no mat ter where he lives."

GET OUT THE VOTE" The Veteran"Uncle Tom'Xooper Calls Upon "the Old Guard." A WARNING TO WORKERS Governor Stuart Pays Another High Tribute to the Republican Nominee ' For State Treasurer, John O. Sheatz. Special Correspondence. Philadelphia, Oct 22. "Uncle Tom" Cooper, the sage of Media, and for many years the Re publican field marshal of the Key stone state, has issued a call to arms for the "Old Guard" of Pennsylvania Republicanism to come out and vote for John O. Sheatz. the nominee for stite treasurer at the approachtsg election. For nearly 10 years "Uncle Tom" was at the head of the Republican state committee. He has gone through many a political campaign, and whether In victory or defeat, he al v.ays bobs up smiling and ready to go at his old-time foe, the Democracy, with all the vehemence and ardor of his nature. "John O. Sheatz Is going to be elect, ed state treasurer, because be de serves to be elected," said the peren nial Cooper today. "He Is an Ideal Republican candidate, and is entitled to the vote of every Republican In the state. He needs no platform In this cam pal km but his own personality and his own record in public and pri vate life. I served with him In the legislature and know his character and his work. I also know that he Is a typical Pennsylvanlan and that he will allow nothing to interfere with a faithful and conscientious perform ance of his official duties. No one could get him to vote for a bill in the legislature that ho did not believe was In the Interest of the people. I ksow the Influences that were brought to bear upon him to do otherwise, and I was there when he boldly, time and again, voted 'NO' when the roll was called upon such measures. We want men of that stripe in the office of state treasurer. Warning to Party Men. "There is just a word I have to say to the men in the party organiza tion In the various counties of the state. Do not be fooled. The Demo crats are wide-awake and are going to get out their vote. The Independent movements have gone to smash, but the old-time Democratic enemy is still doing business at the old stand and will be at he polls on election day. No one, of course, looks fer Mr. Sheatz's defeat, but It it just such conditions as exist today that have eost the Republican party dearly In the past. The Republican vote must be got to the polls. "Taking It for granted that 'every thing is all right' has been the undo ing of many a party leader. What we want at the coming election Is tho greatest possible percentage of the vote put Into the ballot boxes, and then we will be able to celebrate a victory of which every Republican can be proud, and which will put the party In this state In full strength upon the firing line for the presiden tial battle of next year. "Get out the vote; get out the vote; get out the vote." Probably no man In Pennsylvania Is taking a keener Interest In the can vass for the election of Mr. Sheatz than Is Edwin S. Stuart. The governor was Intensely gratified when Mr. Sheatz received the nomi nation, and he was quick to give a cordial Indorsement of the action of the convention. Governor Stuart's Advice. The governor is just now busy with his attorney general In preparing the state capltol cases for trlnl. He does not neglect, however, upon any proper occasion, to urge the election of Mr. Sheatz.

Governor Stuart, amon;; utliev t'ilnes. said: "1 reprpt thnt an Important buElnfsr. engagement made some time fen, which I sm unable to postpone, will prevent me from acc,::"n your kind Invitation.

Candidate Shpatz has had a series f ovations since le started out upon the stump. In Bradford, Kane and Indiana, where ho went prior to his visit to Pittsburg en Saturday last, he was met by great crowds and was assured of loyal support. Mr. Sheatz Is not a professional trator. H? Is a plnin. matter-of-fnet talker, but he never falls to Impress his audience with his sincerity of pur pose and with his determination to meet every obligation of the trust which Is surely to be Imposed In him by the people. STEALS FOR HIS DYING SON. John Kester's Story Leads Police Lieu tenant to Promise Intercession. Chicago, Oct. 22. John Kester, 672T Paulina street, was affixing twine to tags, for which he was to be paid at the rate of 8 cents per 1,000 tags, when arrested at his homo on a charge of larceny. In a coni.M- of the cheerless room lay hie son, 13 years old, dying of hun ger and disease. His two daughters, 8 and 5 ye:' re old, were dying for food.

The Chi nese laborers nt New Moddorfontein mutinied Sunday night and had to bo dispersed by the police. The Chinese barricaded their compound and de stroyed the offices. When the pollco first appeared on the scene they were vigorously stoned. They were finally obliged to open fire on the mutineers with shotguns but they fired low and only one Chinaman was killed. Nine teen were wounded and many were arrested. The trouble Is alleged to have arisen because labor agitators have been assuring the Chinese that they were not obliged to work Sun days.
