The feature of the journey from Washington to Indianapolis was the enthusiasm with which the pres ident was everywhere received. Since daylight to-day every station through which the train passed was thronged with people, anxious even to catch a glimpse of the President. Stops were made only at division terminals, and at some of them hundreds of people had assembled to greet Mr. Roosevelt and to show their kindly feeling for him. The most notable demonstration of the day was given the President at Pittsburg. The station where the train stopped for a few minutes was thronged, but only a fractional part of the crowd was permitted on the plat form near the train. To them the President expressed his pleasure at the opportunity afforded him to see them and added: "You may depend upon it I will do all that In me lies to show you that you made no mistake on Nov. 8.” Oa the Rear Platform. Throughout the run of the train through tiie city President Roosevelt remained on the rear platform of his car, bowing and waving his hat to the crowds of people assembled at every vantage point along the railroad track.

A live coon was presented to the President at Denison, where the special train stopped for a few minutes. After the President had greeted the people, addressing them practically as he had spoken at Pittsburg and as the train was pulling out of the station a man swung the coon over the railing of the car platform and shouted: “Take him; he will bring you good luck.’’ When the President laughed and shook his head deprecatingly the man again shouted: “You must take him. 1 m a lifelong Democrat, and I wish you good luck.” Attached to the chain around the lit tle animal's neck was a card bearing the inscription: ’tCompliments of Tus carawas county, Ohio. Plurality for Roosevelt, 2,224; for Bryan in 1900, 613. Presented by O. J. Strope, Denison, O.” The coon will be taken to Washing ton and placed in the National Zoologi cal Park. Promises t 0 be a Good President. When the train pulled into the sta tion at Columbus the President’s car was surrounded by a great crowd. The 1 resident was cheered heartily as he stepped out on the platform. He spoke briefly as follows: "1 want to say what a pleasure It is to me to be traveling through your great state and now to be at its capi tal. I have enjoyed my trip through me state and perhaps you will pardon iny saying it, I enjoyed even more "hat you did on Nov. 8.” (Applause end laughter.)

New York, Nov. 25.—“ Yes, Frank shot me; but he was justified. I would have done the same to hint,” was the ante-mortem statement made to the coroner to-day by Guy Roche, the gambler who was twice shot in Broad way yesterday and who now lies in a hospital, probably fatally wounded. The statement was made in the presence of his alleged assailant, Frank Felton, who looked on, un moved. After uttering the qualifica tion to the statement that implied self-defense, the dying man added: “Good-bye, Frank, old boy, I don'-t blame you,” and, holding out his hand, he asked his former friend to take it. But Felton appeared not to hear the request, and without looking in the direction of Roche, turned and was led away for arraignment. Later in the day he was held without bail. The reason for the shooting has not been made known. Roche could not be Induced to talk upon this phase of the oase and with equal firmness Fel ton declared the police had arrested the wrong man. > • “Say,” he cried, "you have got me wrong. I never shot that man. I nev er carried a gun in my life.” The theory of the, police is that Fel ton carried a revolver in the pocket of a light overcoat, which they allege he wore at the time of the shooting, and that the coat, with the revolver still in the pocket, was carried away by a confederate after the shots had been fired. The police believe that the trouble between Roche and Felton which cul minated In the shooting arose over a woman who had transferred her af fections from Roche to Felton. duncmwas hanged- Safe Robber anil Murderer Met a Merited Fate.
