A MEMORIAL PRESENTED.
I A memorial, adopted unanimously
j by the entire delegation was present
ed to President Roosevelt by Johr
Ford, of New York, secretary of th<
American Asiatic Association. Th<
memorial recited not only that Chinese
merchants were harassed by th<
present exclusion statutes, but the law
was being even more than literally applied.
The legal regulations are now
so stringently construed by the Department
that many influential Chinese
who are entitled to visit America, an
kept out of the country. The consequence
is that factories in the United
States are placed ^t a disadvantage
in the competition for the trade of the
Orient. The memorial admitted thai
there was warrant in the wording ol
| the law for what is being done, but
^contended strongly that the enforcement
e>f the present statutes was in the
hands of the labor union element and
was not executed in the interest ol
the American citizens. The memorial
closed in the following words:
"The members of this delegation
feel confident that they will not appeal
to you in vain in asking that remedy
should be sought for the anomalous
and unsatisfactory condition of the existing
relations between this country
and the Chinese Empire. The probable
disastrous effects on their interests
and the interests of industries foi
which they speak, of a longer continuance
of conditions must be their ex.
cuse for the urgency and emphasis
which they have taken the liberty tc
use in inviting your attention to the
subject.''
THE PRESIDENT'S VIEWS.
President Roosevelt indicated thai
this was a matter which had to some
extent, already engaged his thought
In fact, other cotton manufacturers
who have recently visited the White
House, have made a somewhat similar
complaint to the Chief Executive. The
President told the delegation today
that as he understood-the matter, he
was in accord with their purpose, but
he wanted it clearly known that he
was opposed to the importation of coolie
labor into this country. He was
in favor, however, of allowing Chinese
merchants to come to America for the
purpose of trading, and that he believed
that the proper legislation could
safely discriminate between the classes
of Chinese. This, though, was simply
his personal view, for Congress
was the proper power to deal with
the matter in hand and the President's
only duty was to see that the law as
it stands is faithfully executed.
Bia Financial Organization.
New York, Special.?The organization
of the largest trust company in the
United States, and one of the largest
financial institutions of the world, was
said to be a part of the plan of Thomas
F. Ryan in negotiating the purchase of
the stock of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society held by Jas. H. Hyde. Mr.
Ryan's plan was reported to be to consolidate
the Equitable Trust Company,
the Mercantile Trust Company and the
Morton Trust Company, all of this city,
with the last-named in control. It is expected
that this would result in creating
a financial institution*with deposits
second only to those of the National
City Bank, of this city, which has deposits
of $185,000,000. The deposits of
the proposed consolidated trust company
would amount to $169,000,000, the
capital stock to $70,000,000 and the surplus
to $22,700,000. Mr. Ryan's plan was
reported to contemplate also the elimination
of the control of subsidiary companies
by the Equitable Life Assurance
Society.
Charges Not Sustained.
Washington. Special.?Secretary Wilson
informed the President that he was
pressing his investigation of the charges
filed with him that a leak had occurred
in the cotton crop reports issued
by the Agricultural Department, but he
yet had been unable to develop proof to
sustain the charges. The agent of the
secret service and others who are making
the investigation, have been instructed
by Secretary Wilson to leave
do stone unturned in their inquiry.
Prominent Man Murdered.
Tampa, Fla., Special.?The body of
Oscar Brahnan, a prominent citizen of
Plant City, was found on the road three
miles from that town Tuesday morning,
riddled with buck-shot. No less
than six loads had been fired into the
body. Investigation showed where at
least three men had waited in ambush
alongside the road. Sheriff Jackson at
once sent deputies with bloodhounds to
the scene and posses of excited citizens
are scouring the country searching for
the murderers. No clue has been found
to the perpetrators, but the officers extiect
to locate them before they get far
away.
Premier Stabbed.

against the gambling houses,
all of which were recently closed.

A few moments later. Governor J. C.
V. Eeckham, in speaking Kentucky's
velcome to the old men in gray said:
"It is fitting that you should meet
lere, on the borderland of the great
druggie, where we were so torn asunler.
The great contest has been setled
for all times. Peace has her vicories
as well as war.
"It is now gratifying to us all that
here i3 but one flag. In tender mem>ry
we have laid away the Stars and

ame flag that, floated over us before

A rousing reception was given the
ommander-in-chief. General Stephen
). Lee, when he arose to respond for
he veterans to the address of wel ome.
The general was in splendid
roice, despite the long wait in the
leated building, and his speech was
nterrupted many times by cheering,
t was one of the most appropriate
ipeeches of the kihd that has marked
my similar occasion. It was estimated
hat 25,000 veterans and sponsors were
mesent at the opening.
Guilty or contempt.
New York, Special.?Wm. H. McAlister,
secretary of the American Tojacco
Company, was adjudged guilty
of contempt in the United States Circuit
Court for having refused to answer
questions before the Federal
?rand jury in connection with the investigation
of the so-called tobacco
:rust. McAllister was asked questions
concerning the affairs of his company,
ind was served with a subpoena retiring
him to produce papers and
contracts covering the export business
A the American Tobacco Company.
Upon the advice of his counsel he not
jnly declined to answer the question,
but also to produce the papers asked
[or, taking the ground that he was
protected by his constitutional rights.
He was sent to jail, but later was released
on heavy bond.
Fall River Cloth Market.
Fall River, Special.?The sales in
:he print cloth market for the week
ire estimated at about 125,000 pieces.
The bulk of the trading which has
jeen of a light character, has been

ind wide odds during the week. Most
)l the mills are still short of help.
Meeting Place Now the Question.
Washington, Special.?Gradually the
legotiations for peace in the Far East
tre nearing a focus. The one point to
vhich the energies of those directly
oncerned in them now are being directed
is tie choice of a place for the
lolding of the conference of the plenijotentiaries
of the beligerent pow>rs.
It is known officially that three cites
are now under consideration by
Russia and Japan. These cities, nam*d
in order of the liklihood of their
inal selection, are Washington, The
blague and Geneva.
Effort to Rob Postoffice.
Durham. Special.?It was discovered
'uesday that an effort was made to rob
he postoffice in West Durham Monday
light. The robbers, the tracks showng
that there were more than one. enered
the building by breaking a pane
f glass, but could not get back into
he postoffice part on account of the
trong lattice work. There was a rain
iter midnight and the tracks were
nade after the rain. Up to this time
here is no clew as to who attempted
he robbery.
Mexican Railroad to be Extended.
Mexico City. Special.?President Robins,
of the Mexican Central railroad,
ays that work will soon be begun on
he extension of the Central's line to
he Pacific coast via Calija. Work was
topped on this extension two years

which caused railway earnings to

Without Much Pretense of Formation "
So Far as the Veterans Were Concerned,
the Parade was None the
Less a Stirrinn Spectacle, Battle
Flags Recently Restored by the Government
Playing a Part.
Louisville, Kv? Special.?Beneath
the shot-riddled battle flags that floater
over many a sodden field, and to
the thrilling strains of "Dixie" that
oft had cheered them on to victory or
defeat, the Confederate veterans who
-1 ' Jr? I
wore tne gray iuarciiuu
proud review before thousands of
people gathered in Kentucky's chief
city to do. them honor.
There was not much in the way of
formation and order in the line as far
as the old boys were concerned, but
they marched with sparkling eye to
the old tunes, and heard the same
cheers that have stirred their blood
annually since the reunions became a
part of life in the South. Many of
the captured battle flags, recently returned
by the government, were carried
in Friday's parade and were the
objects of interest and veneration.
Three Overcome by Heat.
The temperature was near the 86
mark, and John Coke,, of Lawrenceburg.
K>\, J. B. Allen, of Virginia and
William Potter, aged 62 of Nashville,
Tenn., were overcome and taken to
hospitals.
The parade which formed at First
and Main streets, was in three grand
divisions, comprising the trans-Mississippi
department, the department of
the Army of Northern Virginia and
the department of the Army of Tennessee.
Col. Bennett H. Young, commander
of the Kentucky division,

Cabell, Texas, the trans-Mississippi department;
Gen. C. Irving Walker,
South Carolina, the department of
Northern Virania; Gen. Clement A.

Natives Massacred.
San Francisco, Special.?Details of a ;'JH
terrible massacre by pirates of 150 nar
tives on the Siberian coast has dfeen s J
received in a letter from Petropavlov- "V
ski, on the coast of Kamchatka. , A
Morogravlenof, has written to his * *
brother, a resident of San Francisco,
that in the early part of the year the
natives, in one of the small settlements
down the coast, observed a yacht, or
schooner, drop anchor in the harbor, L,
and its coming was hailed with cries
of rejoicing. Off the vessel came a 3
number of small boats. The natives ,'Q
could see the crew piling what they
thought were supplies into the smaller JM
craft. Then the men pulled for that
shore. During that and the next day,
there was heard firing of arms, and,'
later, smoke and fire were observed. 1
This led to an investigation from Potropavlovski
and other towns on Jho 3
coast, and a horrible tale of pillage and -<*2
massacre was brought to light.
About the streets of the settlement,
writes Morogravenlof, were strewn the $9
bodies of 150 of the inhabitants, shot
and cut to pieces by the pirates, who,
under the pretense of friendship, had
gained a landing on the coast. Robbery
was their motive, for every hat
had been ransacked, and anything of
marketable value had been taken. Who
the marauders were, those who manag- i
ed to make their escape could not say, |g
beyond giving the information that >
some Japanese were in the party. When
Morogravenlof sent his letter the people
of Petropvolski feared an attack
on that town.
