New York writer Ryan exposes how banker Louis M. Platt allegedly sheltered Whitelaw Reid from a McKinley era ambassadorship with Colonel Roosevelt alarmed by opposition from leaders.
A survey of Thomas C Platt’s politics outlines his disdain for a party rival who brands himself beyond the party, praises Roosevelt’s Cuban war fame yet recalls the messy path to his governorship, and notes Odell’s trusted yet fragile control of party apparatus as New York politics pivoted through late 1890s and early 1900s power plays.
Special to The Washington Post reports that Democrats in New York face moneyed support from business men while Roosevelt looms as a unifying fear for Republicans. Henry L. Stimson tours the state starting October 17, with Job Hedges possible as escort. Roosevelt plans a Dunkirk Elmira James Town itinerary after a Southern trip, while local figures navigate party ties and the fate of reform in Greater New York.
Twenty thousand people attended today’s funeral services for the victims of the Los Angeles Times plant explosion and fire.

The event drew vast civic participation as ministers from all denominations spoke and music filled the service.
Col Roosevelt travels through Georgia Alabama Mississippi and Tennessee with crowds lining tracks and stations. Negro and white spectators swarm the train while a lone preacher appeals for alms and Roosevelt greets settlers, praising good citizenship. He plans a stop in Hot Springs Arkansas for the state fair before heading to St. Louis.
Ambassador John G A Leishman returns to Rome after a seaside villa stay at Cadenabbia near Lake Como.

Maj. Sylvester, head of the police, announced upcoming changes in the department within days.

The fugitive Portuguese royal family left the Ame lie yacht at Gibraltar and moved to Government House after a church visit in which crowds cheered. Queen Amelie and King Manuel greeted well-wishers as authorities tightened security and preparations for a Lisbon harbor entry continued.
The article describes Portugal covering 34 234 square miles with a population near 3 960 000. Agriculture supports about two thirds, manufacturing provides around one fifth, and forests plus waste land make up much of the land. Trade shows exports near 20 million and imports about 65 million dollars annually, with imports surpassing exports since 1865.
A London dispatch to the New York World says Britain sought to keep Portugal as an Atlantic naval base and thus supported the Lisbon republican move. The failure of King Manuel's marriage plan and Britain’s alleged emissary actions are cited as reasons for the revolution, with Austro German blame placed on Anglophobia.
