Southeastern States-T he Reasons Why-The Winner,
The Los Angeles Times, is Competitor for Business
in the Virginian-Pl1ot's Field

The proprietors of the virginian-
Pilot. conscious of its Varied merits, and
proud OF the appreciative recognition
so generously extended to it by an in
telligent public, comprising subscribers
and advertisers, have sedulously sought
to make the paper worthy of their sup
port and patronage. 1t was, therefore,
with no little pleasure that they learned
that Printers Ink" published by
Messrs. George T. Rowell & Co.,
of New York, who also issue
THE American Newspaper Direct
ory'" had opened a competition for
Silver Sugar Bowl" to be awarded
the newspaper giving the greatest re-
turn in service and value to Advertisers
Tor the money received--the area of the
contest being limited to that portion of
the United States South of n line drawn
across the continent from San Fran
cisco, through ST. Louis and Cincinnati,
to Philadelphia,-all newspapers within
these bounds being eligible contestants
The competition began seven months
ago, and has Just recently closed. with
the award of the prize. The Vlrginian-
Pilot was promptly in the field. not

was a tritle, but because it's owners ana

as the people believe with the Emperor,
that it is absolutely necessary for Ger
many's continued prestige as a World
power. and for the extension of German
trade. Beside the conviction now held
generally here that France need no
longer be feared as serious military
competitor she having reached her ul-
innate limit in increasing her army,
and being unable to compete with Ger
nsany's additional 15 millions of In
napitants. Thus, 1t may be said that
Germany now has her hands free for
naval expansion.
me Governments purpose to transform
Emden, hitherto d small North Sea har-
Dor, into frst-class naval port, has
become palmer every day. The first
lnstallment of 100000 marks for this
Improvement will reach the Prussian
diet after Its reconvening. The Govern
rnent will also erect big naval ship
yards and dry docks at Linden. The
dry docks will he pushed so that num-
ner OF the vessels demanded by the
new naval bill can be built at Emden.
OUR AMBASSADORS INUNDATED.
The desirability of the United States
having suitable permanent Embassies
abroad is again unpleasantly illustrated
oy the humilidting experience of Am
DnsSador White. rs capled to the Asso-
ciated Press Wednesday, and by the

Passador to continue to occupy the top

Since Mr.. Harris arrived in Vienna
he has been vainly searching for a
suitable house. The difficulty is the
unwiliingness of Austrian landlords to
rent to Americans.
Mr. Harris predecessor, Bartlett
Trip. had dispute with his landlord
and the latter sued Mr. Trip success

men are disinclined to supply any one

in advance. Both these Incidents are
causing much astonshed talk in dip
iomatic circles at Vienna and Berlin.
and many disparaging remarks have
been made against the United States
policy in this respect.

Southeastern States in proportion to the
value Of its large list of paying sub

THE REASON WHY.
Its claims were summed up as fol-
lows:
1t foffers advertisers the lowest rate
per line per thousand subscribers.
1t is beyond question the leading and
representative journal of this city and
section.
1t has double the circulation of any
other daily paper published in Nor
folk or vicinity.
1t has more circulation than the three
other daily papers published in Norfolk

that offers the best field in the South

ponent OF that unpurchasable gift to

OUR THANKS.
In this connection we wish to thank
many OF the patrons of our columns

letters they wrote PRINTERS INK,
vouching for the great value Of this
paper as an advertising medium-While
the Virginian-Hilot did not secure the
Sugar bowl, 1t was made conscious or
the fact that ii gives full value for
every dollar spent in It's columns which
is source of qualification to the

(By telegraph to Virgnian- Pilot,)
New York. Dec, 2.-Margaret ]. Plant,
widow of the lato Henry B. Plant. has
begun an action In the Supreme Court,
individually and as trustee Of her hus-
bands estate. against Lynde Harrison,
Morton freeman Plant, George II. Ills
ley, Robert G.. Erwin, Individually and
as trustees of the will OF Henry Il,
Plant, I'm which she asks that q receiver
for certain property of her late husband
be appointed and that the courts OF
this State take entire charge Of the es,
tate pending settlement of the suit,
Mrs. Plant further asks that the Will
and codlcils, as far as they are consist
ent with the laws of this State, be ups
held; that the defendants be required
to bring back Into the jurisdiction OF
the New York courts all securities and
property removed to the State Of Con-
necticut, and that all proceedings in
connection with the probating Of the
will in Connecticut be declared null and
void.
The complaint in tho case Is n volum-
inous and involved affair, covering
many printed pages. The purpose OF
the suit Is to prevent the probating OF
the will In Connecticut. II Is the last
codicil to the will, executed three days
before the death of the testator. which
creates trust. extending until such a
time, whom great-grnndchild shall
