Edward S. Washburn, president of the
Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis Rail-
way, died yesterday at Rye Beach, Me-,
where he had gone for his health. The
news reached Kansas City in a telegram
from Mrs. Washburn to T. S. Fulton, as
sistant to the president. 1t gave no details.
Mr.. Washburn left Kansas City May Is
last TO attend the funeral of a sister in
Boston. He returned to Kansas City dur
ing the latter part of June, but was not
feeling well and seldom went to his Office.
He left for the East again on July / for
Rye Beach. On his way TO the sumner re-
sort he suffered stroke of paralysis. An
other stroke followed few weeks later at
Rye Beach, and since then Mr.. Washburn
had been failing gradually.
During the first part of this month the
directors of the Memphis road. at their
annual meeting in Boston, elected Nathan
lei Thayer, of that city, vice president of
the road. and he Immediately assumed the
active management of the road, pending
Mr.. Washburn's recovery. The vice pres
burns election TO the presidency.
T. s. Washburn was born in Boston in
1S44- He became president of the Memphis
road in July, 1897, succeeding George III.
Nettleton. who had died the previous
March. Mr.. Washburn was one of the best
known railroad men in the country. He
had worked up to the presidency from a
clerkship.

that he is now in continuous communica-
ton with the imperial household. and thus
is enabled to convey to them the prospect
of a return to the Chinese capital. The ex-
pected return of Prince Ching to Picking is
said to be a result of this communication
between Earl Ii and the imperial family.
and to be the initial move of responsible
authorities towards the capital. There is
reason TO believe also that Earl Ii is now
in frequent telegraphic correspondence with
European capitals, although Washington
has not received a word from him since
Aug. q, the date of the last appeal for
peace. Some significance is attached to
this as indicating that Earl Ii, failing TO
get from Washington an acceptance of his
overtures, turned to Europe, and more par
ticularly TO Russia.
1t was stated to-day as an additional
reason for American acceptance of Ii Hung
Chang. that his confidential secretary and
adviser is an American. Mr.. Pethick. for
merly of the American consular service at
Tien-Tsin. Mr.. Pethick is known TO have
great influence with the viceroy. and
among the officials here he is regarded as
a man of exceptional ability and scrupulous
integrity.
The disposition TO look for Interior mo-
tives in Russia plans is met by the state
ment in authoritative quarters that such
suspicious show lack of familiarity with
Russia's traditional friendship for China
Ii is pointed out that the two countries
have lived as neighbors since l649 and that
their relations have not been as traders
each pushing commercial enterprises into
the territory OF the other, but as border
neghbors- 1t is said this brought about
the agreement over the Transsiberian Rail-
road. which. while beneficial to Russia. also
helped China TO develop the resources of
Manchuria. In seeking concessions also II
is said that Russia has mover permitted her
citizens TO acquire rich railroad and min
eral concessions and then to sell them I'm
speculative markets. This unselhsh and
neighborly sentiment. 1t is maintained, is
the chief motive for Russia's present
course.
No dispatches were received overnight
from Minister conger. The State Depart
ment had last evening a message from Con-
sui General ffoodnow at Shanghai. but IL

authority Is given the Board Of Trade in
this respect than the United States statute

and in many respects the English law is
considered much more drastic than ours.

HONOR FOR M. E. INGALLS,
HE MAY BE ELECTED PRESIDENT OF
SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY.
VanderbiIts Said to Be Scheming TO
Weave All Railroads Into One
System with One Head.

The New York Mail and Express. which
is generally believed to have accurate in
formation concerning Vanderbilt plans.
contained the following yesterday: 1T
was said in Wall street to-day that the
presidency of the Southern Pacific Railway
would be offered TO NJ T. ingalls,. of the
Big Four road. who is a Vanderbilt ally.
No one could be found who would posi-
lively confirm or deny the Ingalls, rumor.
but it was declared with some show of au-
thority that neither H. z. Huntington nor
Mr.. Tweed would succeed the late c. p.
Huntington. These two, however, are pro-
vided for in the latest deal reported. Each
is to retain his present position-Mr. Hunt
ington as first vice president and active
manager in the West, and Mr.. Tweed as
second vice president and confidential at
torney in this city. The selection of Mr..
ingalls, would be another move in line with
the alleged Vanderbilt plan to weave all
the railroads of America into one vast sys-
tenn, under a single head. The interests
that are bringing the name of Mr.. ingalls,
to the front control majority of the stock.
and could have dethroned c. p. Huntington
at any time within the last few years.
| They. however believed he had earned the
position he held, and declined to humiliate
him. But he insisted on putting all the
| profits into improvements, and those who
| aid not, like him, have an abundance OF
other stocks that were dividend producing,
were nettled at this absence of income from
| their investments in the stock of the road.
whose value became purely speculative.
Now. il is said, new blood is to be infused
| into the management through Mr.. ingalls,. "

Charles Russell yesterday brought suit
against Jacob Roller. Catherine E. Sulli-

count and to set aside a conveyance of

care Of Rollers wife. who was an invalid,
at his home for ninety weeks. He says
that $40 week is reasonable compensation
for this trouble and asks 5000 for the full
amount said to be due. He also alleges
that Roller conveyed his property to the
Sullivans for pretended consideration of
$3.50 thereby removing all claims of exc
cution. He asks that the conveyance be
