ROOSEVELT WELCOMED.
of Gen. Wright, ut Memphix-
Delivers Four Addresses.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 2o.-Although
the festivities for Wednesday cele-
brated the home coming of Gen.
Luke E. Wright, vice governor of the
Philippines, it is no reflection upon
the warmth of the welcome extended
to him to say that President Roose-
velt's presence was the overshadow-
ing feature of the day. Excursion
trains were run into the city, and
quite number of distinguished peo-
pie were present to participate in the
celebration. Among them were Gov.
Benton Mcmillan and Gen. Joseph
Wheeler. The programme was long
one.
Immediately after the presidents
arrival there was parade through
the streets to the Gayoso hotel, where
a breakfast was rendered the presi-
dent and Gen. Wright, jointly, by the
ladies of Memphis. In the afternoon
the president attended and spoke at
two receptions given in honor of Gen.
Wright, one at the Auditorium, by
the white citizens, and the other at a
hall in the black section of the city
by the colored people. Later there
was colonial danes tea at the Gay
oso, and the festivities closed at night
with an elaborate banquet at the
Peabody, at which the president de-
livered set speech. Including some
brief remarks at the breakfast, the
president spoke four times during the
day. Altogether it was splen-
did tribute to the affection and es-
TEEN in which Gen. Wright is held at
home.
At midnight the presidential party
left for Washington ever the South
ern railroad.

SEEK A STANDING.
NonuniOn Miners Ask to Be Allowed
to Present Their Case to
Strike Comm is ion.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 1S.-The non
union mine workers, through their
attorneys, John T. Lenahan and Jo-
seph O'Brien, have filed the statement
of their case with the anthracite coal
strike commission. When the COM
mission was created by the president
it was not expected that a third
party would be injected into the in
vestigation. On Friday Messrs. Len
ahan and O'Brien appeared before the
commission and said they represent
ed the nonunion men employed in
the mines during the strike, and
they desired to know whether they
could present their case to the COM
mission and what would be the status
of attorneys before that body. The
commission decided that they would
have to know definitely what case
they had before they could determine
their status. and this is contained in
the statement filed late Monday. It is
said the nonunion miners seeking rec
ognition before the commission num-
Der 1000.
Scranton, Pa, Nov. 20.-After be-
ing on the stand for Az days, Presi-
dent Mitchell, of the miners union,
completed his testimony at noon
Wednesday before the anthracite
strike commission. Hewas followed on
the stand by Rev. Peter Roberts, D.
d., of Mahanoy City, Pa, a Congre-
gational minister, who has studied
the anthracite coal industry and has
written book on the subject. He
was still on the stand when the COM
mission adjourned for the day.

Ambassador After 1893 Years.

Athens, Nov. 20.-The unexciting an
nouncement that Ibraham Khan
Dovleti had been appointed Persian
ambassador to the Hellenic court is
more interesting than at first appears.
Since Darius, in the year 491 B. c., sent
heralds to Athens to demand earth and
water as symbols of submission, no
Persian ambassador has been sent to
Athens. Now diplomatic relations are
about to be resumed after a lapse of
2,393 years. The event will be cele-
brated with imposing ceremony. The
ambassador will shortly arrive here to
present his credentials.

Oddly enough the recent assault in
Brussels on King Leopold, of Belgium,
by an Italian anarchist was made on
a Saturday instead of a Sunday. Most
of those anarchist and nihilist assas-
sinations or attempted assassinations
in Europe take place on Sunday. Hap
PLY, in the case of Leopold, the mis-
creant failed. The failure, however,
seems to have been due to the mis-
.creant's own bungling and not to the
precautions of the police, for he was
near the king at the time he fired. and
it was his bad aim which prevented
murder.

After that date the carrying of these

rest and prosecution. The fact that
during last year 1900 fires were
started in New York by these matches
moved the fire commissioner to de-
eide that after this year he would is
sue no more permits for their sale or
manufacture.
