DRESSER'S CREDITORS
WILL NOT GET BONDS.

New York, Dec. 2.-The hearing in
the reclamation proceedings in the mat
ter of Daniel Leroy Dresser, and his
creditors was continued to-day, the
examination being particularly direct
ed to the discovery of the disposition
that had been made of 316 bonds re-
ceived by DR.. Dresser from John w.
Young of the United States Shipbuild-
ing Company.
w. H. Andrews who with Mr.. Day
ton represented Mr.. Young, reported %
the referee that the bonds were re-
ceived under conditions which neces-
STATED their return, but when the
time came to return them. Mr.. Ores
ser could account for only 1l6. The
reclamation proceedings, which were
begun June 8 last are to establish the
fact that the bonds are not the prop
erty of the creditors Of Dresser & Co,
but are the property Of Mr.. Young.
Mr.. Dresser said the bonds in ques-
loan, which has since been reduced and
that he always considered the bonds
as Mr.. Young's and not at the dis
posal of the creditors. He said he
had verbal authority from Mr.. An
drews to use Mr.. Young's bonds as col
lateral for a loan, the bonds having
been entrusted to him for that purpose
Further than this he would not tes-
tify and the referee sustained him in
his refusal to answer because to do so
might tend to incriminate him. The
hearing was adjourned until Dec. 8.

ATKINSON MAY BE
HEAD OF THE SEABOARD.
Report from Boston That He May
Become President.

become Presluent.
Atlanta, Dec. "A special dispatch
from Boston to the Constitution says:
1t is probable that, sooner or later,
H. NJ. Atkinson of Atlanta will be
put on the board of directors of the
Seaboard Air Line, and that it is
among the possibilities that he may
succeed j. Shelton Williams as presi-
dent of the Seaboard Air Line sys-
tenn.
1t is known that Mr.. Atkinson spent
more than a month in New York re-
Gently in active negotiations over
Seaboard matters with T. j. Coolidge
president of the Old Colony Trust Com
pany, which has undoubtedly acquired
control of the Seaboard Air Line sys-
tenn.
1t is known that Mr.. Atkinson is
very close to Mr.. Coolidge, and that
all of the extensive Investments in
Atlanta, and other parts of the South
of the Old Colony Trust Company are
under the general direction of Mr.. At
klnson, who is the representative of
that company in the South.
1t is said that all the Southern in
vestments of this company are yield
ing handsome returns, and Mr.. Coo
hdge was so well pleased with the
success of his past efforts in the South
that he was easily interested when
he was urged to invest largely in the
Seaboard, with the view of becoming
the dominating influence in that prop
ertY."

WAS A GREAT RUSH TO
BUY OR SELL COTTON.
Tremendous Activity on Ine rIOOr
of the Exchange.

New York, Dec. 2.-Great activity
the opening of the cotton market this
morning, owing to the Census Bureau
report at midday, but the scenes on
the floor of the exchange where brok-
ers were showing and pushing and
elamoring in their wild rush to buy
or sell, surpassed anything that has
been witnessed since the spectacular
days of the old July corner. The
interests involved were tremendous.
Trading has been extraordinarily
active all the season, and perhaps
never before has there been so large
a speculative interest in the market,
all standing to win or lose on the re-
port of the Census Bureau.
The opening was an advance of 100
16 points, and the first influx of COW
ering carried March to within points
of the II cents mark, that month SELL
ing at 11.97c, while December reached
1850; January, 11.S0c, and May
11.94c. Realizing was extremely
heavy, however, and as the demand
from shorts grew somewhat less per-
sistent, moderate reactions were
scored. though the undertone never
The Liverpool market, which had
been rather lower than due, turned on
the strength here and New Orleans
was quite as active and excited as the
local market.
By noon the market had been eased
off under continued dealings until
January was quoted at 11.75c; March
at 11.S7c; May at 11.S7c. and July at
11.S5c.
The Census Bureau report fell abso-
lutely fiat. The first sales after the
report were unchanged.
During the remainder of the after
noon the market was rather less ac-
tive, and prices ruled more or less
irregular, but generally speaking the
market was firm and little over last
nights finals on covering and bull
support, based apparently on the
theory that the bureau report of to-
morrow would estimate the crop at
low figures.
The close was very steady, net I'M
changed to points higher. Sales were
estimated at 100000 bales.

FIVE WATER BOODLERS
MAY PLEAD GUILTY.
Further RascaIity Found in Grand
Rapids Scandal.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec. 2.-Attor-
ney John McDonald's announcement
that he expects five of his clients to
plead guilty in the Superior Court, was
the principal development in the wa
ter plant Doodle scandal to-day. Five
of Attorney McDonalds clients ap-
peared before the police magistrate
and waived examination. 1t is gen
orally understood that those who plead
guilty of accepting brides will be pun
ished by fines, and no Imprisonment,
and that they will be used as witnesses
by the prosecution in the cases of 9TH
ers of the accused city officials who in
sist upon having trials.
Ex-City Attorney Liant K. Salisbury
was confined to his bed at his home all
day to-day, suffering from nervous
prostration, and in consequence the ex-
animation in the case of Alderman Ell
len of the First ward, charged with
accepting a bride of $3.50 in the water
deal proposal, was postponed in Police
Court until tomorrow morning.
1t was reported that if Salisbury
does not take the witness stand to-
morrow warrants will be issued for
the arrest of some of those implicated
by Salisbury in the conspiracy part
of the deal, and it was partly con-
firmed by Assistant Prosecuting At
torney Ward, who has the cases in
hand.
Still another sensational chapter in
the history of attempted crimes,
which is promised for trial, will be
trying to sell the municipal lighting
plant of the city. 1t is said that
Salisbury had a plan to create preju
dice against the plant on the ground
that it was expensive and poorly
managed and to have a bill passed by
the Legislature to allow the board of
public works to sell it. His plan in
Guided the purchase of the plant by
a stock company to be organized, and
a subsequent consolidation with the
Edison company and two water power
companies in this vicinity, if this
course should be found possible.

investigation in His Case Is Moving
Slowly.


Paris, Dec. 2.-Only incidental men
ton was made of the Dreyfus case at
the weekly sitting of the Revision Com
mittee to-day when before the end of
the proceedings Gen. MERCER the Sc
nior member, excused himself on the
ground that he had to examine the
Dreyfus documents transmitted by the
Minister of Justice. Gen. MERCER add
ed that he would make his report as
soon as possible, but that he did not
believe he could do so before ten days.
A meeting of prominent Nationalist
to-day demonstrated that they are bit
terly antagonistic TO the action taken
by the government Former War Min
lister Cavignac accused the government
of disturbing the peace of the coun-
try be revivfng an affair which had
been made an instrument for civil dis
cord.
The bitter tone of the Nationalist
ds an indication of how the actual
taking up of the case to-day has re-
viVed all the old animosities and bit
terness of the last ten years. Intense
feeling is shown throughout govern
mental, political and army circles The
universal theme of the newspapers
clubs and society is that the revival
of the case will again bring out prom
inently the leading actors i'm Dreyfus
degradation. Some of the most strik-
ing figures, including Zola and Col
Henry, are dead. Most of the officers
favorable to Dreyfus have been dis
graced in one way or another.
Although there is no present purpose

mony which these persons will give in
case the court requires their presence
is occupying considerable attention.

COLLEGE DESTROYED
CATHOLIC INSTITUTION BURNED
AT OTTAWA.
FROM THE UPPER STORIES
STUDENTS AND PRIESTS LEAPED
FOR THEIR LIVES.

Fire Escapes Were Upon but One
Side of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. on
the other Side Were Forced TO
Jump-Onc Priest Was Probably
Fatally Hurt-LOss Financially Is
Estimated at S5OO,OOO-Insurance
Is $2OO,OOO.
Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 1.-The ottawa
University, one of the largest educa-
tional institutions in Canada, was to-
tally destroyed by fire early to-day.
The loss is estimated at 100000, with
insurance of 100000.
All the students escaped, but many
had narrow escapes. Three priests
were forced to jump from upper win
dows and were badly injured. They
are Fathers IS. Boyon, Fulton and Nc
Gurley. Father McGurley probably is
fatally hurt.
One of the domestics is missing and
probably persisted in the flames, and
another was so seriously burned that
she will probably die. The missing
woman, a Miss Danis, was last seen
on the fourth floor.
There were 450 students at the uni
versity, which was a Roman Catho-
lie institution. Many of the students
were from the New England states.
While the students were at break
fast some of them saw smoke escap-
ing from around the pipes. In half
an hour the fire made it's appearance,
and soon afterwards the whole building
was in a blaze.
The students and others who had
risen early escaped easily. number
who were still abed had to take the
fire escapes in their night shirts or
jump from the building into blankets
held out by the firemen below. The
fire escapes were all on one side of
the structure, and those who slept
on the other side could not reach them.
They had to jump, some of them from
the fourth and fifth stories. In jump
ing several accidents occurred. All
of the students, however, escaped with
very slight injuries. Father Boyon
was in the fifth story. He could not
reach the escapes, and had to jump.
He fell on a veranda below, landing on
his shoulder, and afterwards rolling to
the ground, striking his head.
The fire is supposed to have resulted
from burning cigarette, which was
thrown away after the play given last
night in the Academy Hall.

TAR HEEL EDITORS
DISCUSS ADVERTISING.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The North
Carolina Press Association met here
to-day. Advertising rates. the main
tenance of circulation of country week.
lies and small dailies and kindred
questions. were discussed. The dele
gates spent the afternoon at Mount
Vernon. About $50 people are in the
party.
In his annual address to the associa-
ton, President II. b. Warner made a
number of recommendations. One of
these was to establish a minimum
rate for advertisements based on the
circulation, with the unit as 1000, and
an increase for every 500. Editors who
did not conform to this he suggested
should be put on the blacklist.
A committee consisting of A John
son, A. Thomas and w. c. Hammer
reported in favor of the appointment
of a committee of three to fix the rates
of advertisement. The recommended
ton was adopted.

Blair Says Reports of Combinations
Are Erroneous.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 2.-James II.

7. Jefferson Coolidge, Jr., director;
President John Shelton Williams, Vice

Asked about the alleged combina-

erroneous. The Seaboard Air Line will
be kept entirely independent of all
other roads. The property will be i'm
proved and put into better shape
wherever necessary or where such i'm
provements will enable us to render

AMBASSADOR DURAND
AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Great Britain's New Representative
Was Formally Received.


Washington, Dec. 2.-Sir Henry Nor
timer DuIand. the successor of the
late Sir Michael Henry Herbert as the
ambassador of Great Britain to the
United States, was received formally
by President Roosevelt at the White
House to-day.
The Ambassador was received by Sec
rotary of State Hay, and conducted to
the Blue Room, where he was presented
to the President and Secrtary Loeb.
Ambassador Durand presented his ere
dentials to the President and was re-
ceived with great cordiality. The for
NAL exchange of addresses then took
place, the speeches being notably fe-
lictous and gracious. Sir Mortimer en-
braced the occasion to pay a touching
tribute to his predecessor, Sir Michael
Herbert, and in his response the Presi-
dent likewise referred feelingly to the
late ambassador.
At the conclusion of the ceremony,
which was brief, Ambassador Durand
chatted informally with the President
before returning to the embassy.
Sir Mortimer Durand in his address
said:
His Majesty has directed me to
assure you of his earnest desire that
the friendly relations which exist be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain may be maintained and
strengthened, and l have received His
MajeSty's command to keep this OBJ
ject constantly in view. believe THAT
upon the good will between our two
nations depends in no small degree
the welfare of the world"
In replying the President said: at
is fitting that mindful of the ties of
kinship and speech, moved by like as
piratiOns of progress in the paths of
peace and sharing a reverential trust
in the Almighty will that guides our
destinies, our two nations and peoples,
through their ministerial agencies,
should strive to reach a harmonious
accord in all that affects their COM
mon interests

RUMORS OF WAR
REVIVED IN BERLIN.
Number of Alarming Dispatches
stopped Trade on Bourse.

Berlin, Dec. 2.-Dispatches indicat-
ing the extreme tension of the Russo
Japanese situation almost monopolized
the attention of the German press and
official world yesterday, and early to-
day the danger of war was regarded
as greater than ever But this feel
ing was changed by the receipt of
the announcement from Paris that a
basis of a settlement had been reached.
This made the financiers hopeful and
prices on the Bourse opened strong.
Later a tide of alarming dispatches
quickly reversed the favorable senti-
ment and stopped trading absolutely.
Official circles, however, take more
hopeful view of the situation than the
public. The hope that war will be
aVerted is based to a large extent on
the belief that Great Britain will not
earnestly support Japan. According
to this official view, Great Britain's
present policy is based on a desire to
keep Russia engaged until Lord Cur
ION, the viceroy of India, has COM
pleted his tour of the Persian gulf,
and while the forward movement of
the British on Thibet is in progress.

Chicago, Dec. "A great gathering
of the Dowfeites was held in the Tab
ernacle at Zion City tonight. 1t was
called by Dowie for the purpose of
starting a fund of 100000 with which
to pay off all the Indebtedness that
hangs over Zion City and himself.
The outpouring of his followers was
not one to bring cheer to the heart of
the general overseer of Zion. The tab
ernacle seats 5000 people and usually
all the seats are taken at the special
meetings called by Dowie. Tonight
the hall was not over half filled and
the gathering was not as enthusiastic
as might be desired by man who
was in immediate need of funds. Dowie
gave to his followers a statement of
the financial status of Zion City; told
them the assets We're ample; the only
trouble being that he was not able to
realize upon them at once.

Yesterday it was the opinion that
the liabilities of Dowie would not
amount to the outside to over $350,0OO.

ceivers and their attorneys that the
claims against him make total of
$725,0OO
