EvERETT-MOORE AFFAIRS.
Plans to Relieve the Syndicate of It's
Financial Troubles.

CLEVELAND, o., Feb. S.-A new plan to
relieve the financial troubles of the Ev-
erett-Moore syndicate Is that the bonds
and shares of stock of the Federal Tele-
phone Company and it's various subsidiary
companies be deposited with some local
trust company as collateral on a bond is
sue of 100000. This would be divided into
three issues, the first to cover a loan of
Sl.Oo0.OO0 to be used by the company for
development purposes; the second for the
secured creditors who at present hold Fed
eral Telephone securities on claims and
the third for unsecured creditors. With
the success OF the plan assured, the syndi-
cate could go ahead with it's telephone
work unhampered and would have 81, ,OOO,-
600 with which TO extend present telephone
operations. All that would be necessary
for the syndicate % do before reaching
tits former excellent condition would be TO
finance the Lake Shore Electric Railway
Company. With the assistance of the bank
ers committee, it is claimed, this would
not be hard to accomplish and the troubles
of the syndicate would be practically at
an end so far present complications are
concerned.
The plan 10 lease the Big Consolidated
Street Railway and sell the Detroit United
Railway. Ii is claimed, are considered in
the light of auxiliary plans. With definite
offers for the sale of these properties, the
syndicate would be in a position to fall
back on them for support in the event of
a failure of the collateral trust plan.

Her Presence Has Cheered the Lad
but There Has Been No Change
fn His Condition.
PRESIDENT NOW ON THE WAY
YESTERDAY ABANDONED THE PRO
POSED TRIP TO CHARLESTON,
And Early This Morning Started for
panied by Secretary COrtelyou.

GROTON, Mass, Feb. s.-From the
meager information that can be obtained
from the physicians in attendance, 1t is
learned that the condition of Theodore
Roosevelt, jr., is as comfortable as could
be expected tonight, and that no decided
change in his symptoms has occurred dur
ing the day. The physicians look for no
material improvement for at least day
or two and will be satisfied if he shows no
change for the worse during that period
This morning the temperature of the strick-
en- boy was 1O5, but it dropped to 1O3 during
the afternoon. Mrs. Roosevelt, who ar
rived at the school this forenoon, has been
in constant attendance upon her son and
her presence has cheered the lad I'D won
derfully. President Roosevelt to-day was
in direct communication by wire with the
sick chamber, and was kept informed of
everything that transpired there. There
has been considerable activity about the
school during the day, owing to the de-
parture of students, nearly all of whom
have now left for their homes.
The Rev. Sherrard Billings. assistant to
President Peabody of the Groton school,
was waiting with carriage when the train
bearing Mrs Roosevelt arrived this morn
ing. Quite a crowd had gathered at
Aver, the nearest station to Groton, to see
! RS. Roosevelt, as it had been known that
she would reach there by the early train,
but there was no demonstration of any
sort as she passed to the carriage. The
drive of three miles to the school took
about an hour, as the roads were hilly and
rough from freezing. At the school Mrs
Roosevelt was received by President Pea
body and a few moments later was at her
boys bedside.
Subsequently an attempt was made to OBJ
tain from Mrs. Roosevelt a statement for
publication regarding the illness Of young
Theodore, but through President Peabody
she declined TO depart from the course ap-
proved by President Roosevelt.
Mrs. Roosevelt will accept the hospitality
Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Gardner while here
Mr. Gardner is a patron of the Groton
school as we'll as being an instructor He
is very wealthy and has q fine estate near
the institution. Most of Mrs. Roosevelt's s
time will be spent with the sick boy, so
that the courtesy OF the Gardner family
Will be available only for periods of rest.
There is absolutely no change in the con-
dition OF Theodore Roosevelt, jr., tonight
according to the physicians in attendance
nection with the boys illness and the clos
ing of the Groton school.
At midnight il stated at the Groton
School that there was absolutely no cause
for alarming reports as to the condition of
Theodore Roosevelt, jr. The boy was if
anything slightly improved, and there was
no change for the worse that would call
for the Presidents presence.

TROUBLE IN IRELAND.
Revolution Relieved to He Brewing
Incited by the League.

LONDON, Feb. S--A dispatch to the Pail
Mall Gazette from Dublin declares that the
''firmly-rooted belief in influential circles IS
that nothing short of a revolution is mea at
by the United Irish League and that the
advocates of constitutional methods are
slowly but surely giving way to the strong
physical force section. According TO the
correspondent, Lord Salsburys speech of
Wednesday last before the Junior Constitu-
tiOnal Club leads people to hope that the
government has at last learned the lesson
that home rule cannot be killed with kind
ness and that the Ministry has become
aware Of the terrible havoc being worked
by the league throughout Ireland"
The correspondent adds. "lrishmen who
have just returned from the United States
aver that no support viii be given 10 the
dislOyal cause unless the discussions and
scenes in Parliament give place to some
thing more active in Ireland itself. The
American end OF TIE campaign Is being run
by men who are of the same stamp as
Finerty, who recommends dynamite and
rifles. Young Ireland is being taught 10 be-
heve in the coming storm and 10 openly
speak thereof with enthusiasm. The policy
OF kindness has convinced the peasantry
that the reign OF the British is almost at
an end, and in truth the British statute
book Il already suspended and the court
OF the league l. supreme.

fire, Stamix backing away toward the
home Of the cashier with view OF getting
assistance. When the shooting began two
or three other men ran out of the bank
building, and, Joining their comrades, dis
appeared in the darkness.
An examination of the bank disclosed the
fact that the men had made an Intellectual
effort to enter the front of the vault and
then attacked the rear end. They had
bored a hole into the rear plating and had
attempted TO blow the vault with dyna-
mite or nitroglycerin, but also without
success.

Glenn a few miles east of Gap, and had
a wound in his jaw dressed. He said he had
received the injury by falling from a
freight train and striking a piece of iron

ger train at Parkesburg and had a ticket
for Philadelphia His wound is not regard
