Creditors Wish Another
Proposition. Traders
Told, Fear Not.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York. March 23.--It was reported
tonight that Daniel ]. Sully will be asked
tomorrow by the creditors of the firm Of
Daniel j. Sully 81 Company to make
another proposition for settlement. 1t was
stated that the acceptance of this PROPOSE
ton. if at all satisfactory would be prac-
ticaly certain. and would involve the
immediate reinstatement Of Sully on the
Cotton Exchange.
The action was brought about. it was
stated by the fact that bankruptcy pro-
ceodings would be long drawn out and
that certain creditors with large claims
would be seriously affected by the delay
in getting ready money.
1t was said that this action was prob
ably FASTENED by the report that Lehman
Bros, and Atwood, Violette and Com
pany had retained Samuel Untemeyer to
Institute supplementary proceedings against
the alleged members OF the bull pool
who are said to have deserted Mr. Sully.
Il. p. McDougal. President OF the Cot
ton Exchange, made the following state
mcnt today relative to the conditions Of
the market:
''The losses in consequence Of the fall
ure of ID. }. Sully d Company, IAN on
some of the most conservative houses
in the trade: firms that are wei able to
withstand them without invon 3cniencc.
There is no warrant for any further
apprehension, especially as consumers are
making inquiries for spot cotton which IN
PRODUCES an element of SAFETY and sta
bility that has been lacking of late
1t was said on the Cotton Exchange to-
day that sensational developments are ex-
pected when the receivers begin their in
vestigation of Suly's books. The books,
it was reported contain records of the
transactions made by Sully for AT east two
of the capitalists who are said to have
backed the Sully deal ana the creditors
expressed the belief that these records
would enable them to reach the men re-
sponsible for the Sully contracts.

PLAY A GENUINE DELIGHT.
1.-The Professors Love Story" and
Mr.. Harry Beresford's Success.

At no time this season has there been
staged here q more delightful play than
that presented last night at the Metro
politan Theatre.
It is masterpieces The Professors
Love Story''-and every line and every
situation in it was enjoyable. This is
not written to please the players, but
because it's SO, and you can ask the peo-
pie whose privilege it was to witness the
Professor Goodville'' of Mr.. Harry Beres-
ford, if what is here written is not true
every word OF IT.
As wholesome as good weather, and as
balmy as a srnshiny May day is the story
that was acted. The whole thing left
good taste in the mouth. both because
of the play and the clever rendition
of it.
Harry Beresford was of course the CEN
trail figure as the Professor who was in
love and didn't know it. AS Lucy
White" his charming secretary, who
caused his trouble, Miss Julia Bachelor
was exquisite. Miss Kate Bruce as the
maiden sister. Mr.. A. Burt Wesner as
''Dr. Cozens,' belongsin the calcium light
of praise. while Miss Nellie Lindroth as
Lady Gliding Miss Edith Ward as the
"Dowager,' Mr.. Frank Webb as "Sir
George Gliding, Mr. j. w. Hartman as
''Dr. Yellobees' and Miss Mollie Rcvel. as
the house keeper were all really excel
lent, the minor characters being well pre-
scented also.
This much is said about Harry Beres-
ford and the company. and it's meant:
If they come this way again a crowded
house is certain. That play last night
was delicious.

Japan is Likely to Remove This to

London, March 23.-(Thursday "A Sc
ries of messages dated between March 10
and March II, sent by a correspondent of
the Daily Mail at Chinampho. Korea, de-
scribes the perfect organization and ar
rangements of the Japanese in Korea.
Elaborate preparations have been made
for landing troops and advancing them
through the country and pontoon bridges
and stables are built wherever they are
found to be necessary. The great diff
Guilty facing the japanese is the commits
sarlat, as owing to the poor food sup
plies of Korea it Is only possible at pres
ent to maintain 10000 men.
The japanese hold two enormously
strong positions at Ping Yang on tie
Mlokak-San range, between Hwang-Ju and
Seoul. The latter, the correspondent saws,
is probably impregnable and secures Seoul
from the land attacks from the northeast.
In the event OF defeat it is intended to
hold the passes at Gazan, thus protecting
the Ping Yang valley. The Japanese
troops are suffering from dysentery and
pneumonia and many of the cavalry horses
which the correspondent says are poor,
have died. but the army is full of spirit.

The Russians intended to make Anju
their base, but owing to teh delay in the
arrival of reinforcements. they were afraid
they would be cut off and so retired
Meanwhile the Japanese advanced to Ping
Yang by forced marches, the troops being
almost without equipment.
According to this correspondent, the Rus

west of Aniu, and he says the Japanese

would mean death to approach it.
