They seek not the advantage of one class, but of all classes. They believe that the principles enunciated in our platform will furnish a foundation for the building up of such a nation and such a people." STRANGER INTERRUPTED.

Haytien Chamber of Commerce Resents Interference by Outsider and an International Incident Results. Port-au-Prince, Hayti, Sept. The fact that a deputy was interrupted by an outsider while speaking in the chamber of commerce yesterday has caused an international incident of a mild character. The Haytien government some time ago granted two American citizens a concession for the construction and exploitation of a railroad from Gonaives to Hinche, an important line, passing through a rich part of the county. The concession was being discussed in the chamber yesterday when one of the occupants of the strangers' gallery, a foreigner, interrupted a deputy who was speaking, which caused so much indignation among the deputies that the motion to approve the concession was rejected.

President Nord, however, has informed the American minister, Mr. Powell, that reparation will be made for the regretable incident and that the concession will be approved at the next session of the legislature. New Hampshire Republicans. Concord. N.

His recent attitude toward Russia regarding damage to British commerce by Russian warships evidenced that he is no man to be trifled with. The ezar's men of war began to overhanl vessels carrying the British Ang and search them. A warning from Balfour passed unheeded and then he notified the Russian authorities that he would use more stringent means to insure protection for British ships. The ezar's officials immediately "backed down." JEW RIOT IN LONDON Celebration of Day of Atonement Marked By Disorder. POLICE QUELLED DISORDER.

Trouble Was Caused by Socialist Jews Parading the Streets and Celebrating at Their Clubhouse. London, Sept. day of atonement was marked in London by serious rioting in the Jewish quarter of the East End. Over 2,000 Jews engaged in a disturbance and nearly 300 police had to be called out before the disorder was quelled. The trouble arose over the action of non-conforming members of a social democratic Jewish club at Spitalfields, situated in the heart of a district containing about 20,000 Jewish inhabitants.

The socialists openly paraded, in disregard of the fasting injunction, and made a celebration with wines at the clubhouse. The orthodox Jews were angered and surrounded the clubhouse and stoned it. The socialists threw bottles at the crowd and soon the two or three narrow streets in the vicinity became choked by a fighting mob. Ambulances were called out and the doctors had many minor cases to attend to. Finally the police quelled the disturbance, cordoned off the streets in the disturbed area and made several arrests.

Excited groups of orthodox Jews, however, continued to parade the streets and the houses of several socialist Jews were stoned. The magistrate in sentencing the various rioters brought up at the local police court said it was "deplorable that a class of persons who for centuries have been distinguished by the fiercest persecution should, when in the one free country in the world, turn upon those who disagreed with them upon religious grounds and stone and persecute even their co-religionists." TO PROTECT INDIANS. Drastic Order Issued by the Government Against Fraud and Robbery In the Indian Territory. Washington, Sept. of the most drastic measures ever issued by the government for the protection of the several Indian tribes against fraud and robbery, was promulgated to-day by Acting Secretary of the Interior Ryan.

The order in question amends the rule for the sale of inherited Indian lands, so as to require that the proceeds to be derived from their sale shall be placed with the most convenient United States depository to the credit of each heir in proper proportion, subject to the check of such heirs or their recognized guardians, for amounts not exceeding ten dollars to each in any one month. Before being paid, however, it will be necessary for these checks to be approved by the agent or other officer in charge. For sums in excess of ten dollars per month, the money will be paid upon the approval of the agent only when specifically authorized so to do by the commissioner of Indian affairs. Acting Secretary Ryan said that heretofore the lands have been sold to the highest bidder and the proceeds paid directly to the Indians, with the result that in many instances the Indians soon were divested of their money.

MESSAGE FOR ROOSEVELT. Told the Officers He Had Died Six Years Ago at Jersey City. Oyster Bay, Sept. man who is regarded by the secret service officials and by the authorities of Oyster Bay as a dangerous crank was apprehended here to-day. He is J.

E. Reeves, a medium-sized, roughly-attired man about 40 years of age. He was making his way to Sagamore Hill when he was arrested. He told Officer Tyree, who apprehended him, that he wanted to see the president on important business. Believing from the man's manner that he was insane, Officer Tyree took him before Justice Franklin for examination.

To the justice, Reeves said that six years ago he died in a Jersey City hospital and went to heaven in an automobile. While there he received an important message for President Roosevelt which he was directed to deliver personally. He fused to say what the nature of the message was as he declared he could communicate it to nobody but the president. He declared to the justice, however, that he had written a book on his experiences in heaven which he desired to have published as he was satisfied millions could be made out of it. The president, he said, undoubtedly would join with him in securing the publication of the work and that was one reason why be wished to have a talk with him.

Reeves, who talked as if he had enjoyed some educational advantages, said that he was a resident of Baltimore. He had in his pockets $2 in cash and some unimportant papers, but no weapons. Justice Franklin after the examination, being convinced that the man was insane, and very likely dangerous, deputized one of the secret service men to take him to Mineola, where a formal inquiry into his mental condition will be made.

Repelled Two Attacks. St.

Petersburg, Sept. Stoessel, commanding the Russian military forces at Port Arthur, reports by telegraph that on the night of September 16 the garison repelled two attacks on the redoubt protecting the waterworks. About train time, or yesterday noon there were many new faces seen at the Santa Fe station, each bearing an anxious look and it was not until the Santa Fe south bound, No. 201 pulled away from the depot that the strained expression faded from the assembled partie's faces and a sigh of general relief was heard. The cause of ail this unusual commotion was easily traced when it was found that two women who had been sitting on hurridly packed grips alongside the build ing, had boarded the train for the south.

Mrs. E. W. Sanger and her new protege, Maud or Pearl Stone had been having a rather streneous existence from the early hours of Monday evening, caused by the emphatic manner in which their neighbors bad brought their disgraceful going on to a climax. The two women who have been carrying on for the past week at the Sanger home with men, creating all kinds of bacchanalian noises had aroused some of the ladles in the neighborhood to the point where they would not stand for it any longer.

Mrs. W. Sanger who has been living at 1006 South Grant, had a visitor in the shape of a buxom lass of about 19, with a sporty look and french high heels. Immediatly there began to be something doing and the back lines made a regular road to the Sanger house. Monday night the ladies of the neighborhood called a mass meeting and organized a temporary whitecap association.

They surrounded the house while one telephoned the police. The arrival of the officers was hailed with delight and were told of the circumstances by the outraged populace Upon entering the house only one of the women was found, Maude Stone who was taken in custody by Chief Meanor. Mrs. Sanger had got clear in a hack and did not return. Chief Meanor had given Officer Spears orders to find the Sanger woman and was himself on a hunt for her.

The guard of the self appointed protectors of their homes patrolled the house most of the night and until they were notified by the police that the wanted woman was caught Spears made the arrest and both women were up before Judge Dryden yesterday morning. The Judge believed in giving the case a short shift and without much ado fined Mrs. Sanger $25 and costs and the Stone woman $5 and costs. Chief Meanor then took the case in hand and ordered both parties out of town in double quick time and the orders went good. Within a few minutes after the cases were disposed of there were over flfteen women in court all of whom were very indignant because the court had let the disturbers of their pease off 99 50 A.

Sharp. AT HETRICK THEATRE. Miss Marie Dale and her well balanced company opened a five night's engagement at this popular theatre last night to an overflowing audience and the play pleased immensely. It was a four-act society piece entitled "A Woman's Honor." Miss Dale as Lucia Stetson proved herself to be an actress of great emotional powers. Her supporting company is much better than the average repertoire companies.
