MEMPHIS. Nov. ls.-Although the festivi-
ties for to-day celebrated the Homecoming
OF Gen. Luke E Wright. vice governor OF
the Philippines, 1t is no reflection upon the
warmth of the welcome extended to him to
say that President Roosevelts presence
was the overshadowing feature of the day.
Excursion trains were run into the city and
quite a number of distinguished people were
present to participate In the celebration
Among them were Governor Benton Nc
MILAN and Gen. Joseph Wheeler. The pro-
gramme was long one. Immediately after
the Presidents arrival there was a parade
through the streets to the Gayoso Hotel,
where a breakfast was rendered the Pres
ident and General Wright jointly by the
ladies of Memphis. In response to a toast
proposed in his honor by Judge Hammond.

In the afternoon the President attended

colored people. Later there was a Colonial
Danes tea at the Gayoso, and the festivi-
ties closed tonight with an elaborate ban
quet at the Peabody, at which the Presi-
dent delivered a set speech.
Including his brief remarks at the
breakfast, the President spoke four times
during the day. Altogether. IL was a splen-
did tribute to the affection and esteem in
which General Wright is held at home.
That Mrs. Wright was also extremely popu-
lar was made apparent by the applause
which greeted every reference TO her. This
was especially marked at the Auditorium.

Republicans. inasmuch as the great ma

H0LD.UP OF GAMBLERS
WORK OF TWO BOLD BANDITS IN
MINNEAPOLIS SUBURBS.
Sporting Gentry Robbed of Nearly
$4,000 and a COlored Porter Sc
rfously Wounded.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Nov. 19.-In a
fashion reminiscent of the James Younger
gang, two bandits help up gaming den at
Columbia Heights tonight, secured 1898
from the score of players and proprietors
and seriously wounded Harvey Howard,
the colored porter.
The gambling den is operated by a syn
dicate OF sporting men. in the rear of ]. ID.
Sullivan's saloon at the end of trolley
line in the suburbs of Minneapolis. Each
robber used a dark handkerchief to cover
the lower part of his countenance. There
are two entrances to the room. One rob-
ber entered at each door at the same time
and ordered the inmates to hold up their
hands. The players and attendants were
then lined up on one side of the room and,
while one of the robbers kept them covered
with his revolver the other rifled pockets
and tillS.
First, David Brice, the manager was
searched. He was relieved Of his revolver
which was thrown out of a window, then
S165 was extracted from his pockets. In
gram Flick treasurer of the resort yielded
81 COS. Half a dozen patrons of the place
were relieved of sums ranging from so
to $40.
While the robbery was in progress, Steve
Carlson, who lodges upstairs, looked in.
He made a hasty exit with four bullets in
Intellectual pursuit. Then Harvey Howard,
the colored rorter, aroused from a nap by
the shots, bounded in to learn the cause
and bounded out again, but two bullets,
one in each leg. tumbled him into the
street, where he lay for half an hour until
some of the robbed men carried him inside
after the bandits had left. The second rob-
Der went into the saloon in front, where he
secured $50 from the cash drawer Sulli-
van, however, saved 1866 by hiding the
money between his legs and pretending to
be knock-kneed Afterwards, the bandit
leader ordered his assistant to get the
rig" During his absence Sullivan's clothes
caught fire, as the huddled crowd had
pressed him close to the stove. The thug
ordered a realignment, because as he said,
he did not want TO burn the man up. When
the second robber returned with the rig
the desperadoes backed out, keeping the
crowd covered with their revolvers until
they themselves had disappeared into the
darkness. Half a dozen detectives and a
posse of citizens hastened TO the scene. but
search for the robbers has thus far proved
futile.
