BRISTOL, Tenn, April 29.-The first
day of the Presidents long tour to the
Pacific coast lay through an historic
section in Virginia, across the valleys
of the Rapidan and James, in sight of
the homes Of Madison and Jefferson, up
past the peaks of Otter, so dear to the
hearts of the v.rginians. into the pic
turesque Blue mountains The Tennes-
see line was reached at 1885 tonight
with the arrival of the train at Bristol.
The Presidential party received fiat
tering ovation from the time the train
left Washington. Large crowds assem-
bled at every station, the country side
and cross roads each had its little crowd
of waving watchers straining their eyes
to catch glimpse of the chief .nagis-
trate as the train whisked by.
If to-day's reception through Vir-
ginia is an indication of what is 10 oc-
cur throughout the rest of the trip, the
Presidents tour across the continent
will be triumphal one. Some of the
people in their eagerna5s to grasp the
Presidents hand clambsred UP the rail
ing surrounding the platform. The
President received these demonstra-
tons goo1-natured;y and never failed
smilingly to GRASP the hsr'; extended %

window in the obse- 'ltIcu car smiling

BAD Showing FOR DAVIS
IN COMM|SSARY SCANDAL.
EVIDENCE GIVEN THAT HE WAS
TWO THOUSAND DOL
LARS SHORT.
CONTRACTORS WERE SOLICITED
TO GIVE UP MONEY TO MAKE
GOOD THE SHORTAGE OF
MAJOR DAVIS.

MANILA, April 29-The trial Of
Capt. James C. Reed, former depot COM
missary at Manila, and who was arrest
ed about fortnight ago for alleged
participation in the commissary frauds,
was begun here to-day, and bids fair to
develop into a celebrated case. Capt.
Reed is charged with soliciting and re-
ceiving brides and with other official
misconduct.
Mr.. SCHNEIDER, manager of the Alham-
bra cigar factory, testified that in No
vember Capt. Reed had told him that
Major George B. Davis, who was the
depot commissary before Capt. Reed,
but who was sent to the United States
OF sick leave, and whose name appears
ON the books of Evans & Co., govern
ment contractors at Manila, as the re-
cipient OF $1,000, was $2,e00 short in
his accounts. Continuing, Mr.. SCHNEIDER
testified that those having profitable
contracts with the government were
asked to assist in making good Major
Davis deficiency. SCHNEIDER gave Capt.
Reed $3.50, which was 21a per cent.
commission on the cigars sold to the
commissary department during the time
that Major Davis was depot commits
sary at Manila.
Lieut.. Richard H. Townley, of the
navy, at present superintendent of the
Manila nautical school, testified that as
the result of conference with Captain
Reed he went to see Castle Bros, con-
tractors, who supply the cemmissary
department with vegetables, ETC., and
wanted them to give Captain Reed
$4,000 and ten per cent commission on
all sales. Castle Bros. demurred to this
proposition. Lieut.. Townley again
went to Castle Bros. and this time
only asked them for $2,9oo. Castle
Bros. were reluctant to hand over this
sum and Lieut.. Tewnley explained that
Captain Reed was in position to adj
vance the interests of the firm and that
it would be advantageous to Castle
Bros. to oblige him. Lieut. Townley
testified that he further explained to
Castle Bros. that Captain Reed might
allow them the use of government
lighters and possibly be less rigid in
the inspection of goods purchased.
Colonel Charles A. Woodruff, chief Of
the subsistence department in Manila,
explained the circumstances of Captain
Reeds appointment and said that on
December 80 Castle Bros, aroused mis-
suspicious by intimating that money
was being collected by an officer of the
commissary department. Later Colonel
Woodruff sent for Captain Reed, who
admitted receiving rebates for the pur-
pose of covering the delinquencies of
Major Davies. The testimony of Col.
Woodruff is unfinished and other wit
nesses are awaiting examination.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, April %.
The Presidential train. with tiny
flag on the pilot of the engine, denottng
that the chief magistrate of the nd
lion was on board. arrived at Char
lottesville on schedule time. The run
from Washington was made without IN
cident A brief stop was made at Alex
andria. A big crowd had assembled at
the station there and the President and
Mrs. Mckinley appeared upon the plat
form to acknowledge salutes.
At Manassas, Culpepper and Orange,
the crowds were especially large. As
the train approached Charlottesville, the
party had glimpse of the old home OF
President Madison at Montpelier.
At Charlottesville there was an i'm
mense assemblage at the station. The
students from the University lined up
alongside of the train and gave the
President three cheers and tiger when
ne made his appearance. From the plat
form of his car the President spoke as
follows:
1T gives me great pleasure to receive
the greeting OF the people of Charlottes-
Vile and the cheers of the young men of
the University of Virginia. (Applausa.l
Your institution is linked with great
names and great deeds. and has infu-
enced both. (Appause) What an array
Of immortal names Virginia holds in her
keeping to remind us of lofty patriot
ism, broad craftsmanship and noble
achievements. applause
ITO no other State Of the American
union belongs such history to preserve
and cherish and such examples to in
spire and emulate. CGreat applause.)
May the young men of the State of Vir-
ginia prove worthy sons of their noble
ancestors and contribute in the future,
as they did in the past, to the we'll
being and honor and glory Of the re-
public. (Great appiause). Let me as
sure you young gentlemen, that the
present and the future hold rich re-
ward for good scholarship. high charac-
ter and noble endeavor: and the wish
which leave with you is that Of these
you may have your full share pro
longed applause).
There were calls for Secretary Hay,
but his only response was to intro
duce Postmaster General Smith, who
said in part:
Il recall that for many years the
chief officer of my department Of the
public service in the city of Charlottes-
Vile, was a noble woman, the daughter
of a Union officer, and the wife Of a
Confederate officer. Great applausel
She was first appointed by Gen. Grant
and when in the early years of The first
administration of President Mckinley
the suggestion was maze of a change

MI. Smiths reference was to Mrs.
Long, who was appointed postmistr
of Charlottesville by Gen Grant. She
was the daughter of Gen. Sumner, of
the Union army, and widow OF cen.

see A SHARE.

LONDON, April 29.-The first step in
the direction OF the Consolidation of
some of the biggest transatlantic ship
ping interests has been accomplished
by the purchase of ]. Pierpont Morgan
& Company of the Leyland line of
steamers. A deposit on the purchase
money has been paid.
The officials of the Leyland line, in
confirming the sale, told a representa-
tive of the Associated Press that an
official statement will be issued from
the head Office of the line at Liverpool
tomorrow. 1t is understood that the
shareholders will receive ETA los for
each 910 share.
The Leyland line, whose fleets will
thus pass into the control of Ameri-
cans, Is one of Great Britain's great
est shipping institutions, far exceed
ing the Peninsular and oriental Steam
Navigation Company In tonnage and
importance.
When, some months ago it was sug-
gested that the line was likely to pass
into the hands Of the Atlantic Trans
port people, much comment followed
in regard to the effect that it would
have on other British lines, as 1t was
generally felt in shipping circles that

gamation, in close touch with Ameri-
quences for lines outside the combina-
ton.

Richmond is well supplied with re-

tions, that illustrate the life and char
acter of its people. Club life, which
has developed mainly since the war,
has now large and numerous organiza-
tions, civil and military. Richmond,
too, Is essentially church, going COM

achieved more thar national reputa-
tion. There are about one hundred
churches and missions of various
creeds and denominations. Latest re-

Many of the Richmond churches are

past century. Connected with and
supported by them are several bene-
