to he able 20 proceed in the matter very
shortly"
A meeting OF the creditors OF the firm
was held at the Cotton Exchange yester-
day afternoon and new committee was
appointed TO cooperate with the receivers
In bankruptcy.
Tho action was taken after receivers
had expressed regret that the first com
mittee OF creditors had been discharged

receivers said they would have been glad
OF the assistance OF that committee I'm
aiding the receivers to exercise their dis
cretion in disposing Of the cotton on hand

The new committee Is comprised Of the
following: r. Sledenburg. j. Temple
Chapman and y. S. Clark.
NO NEW OFFER.
So far as could be learned in Wall
street today Daniel ]. Suliy had not
fixed upon any definite new offer for his
creditors. II seems 20 be the disposition
on the part OF the creditors % permit the
committee OF FIVE named yesterday after
noon 10 represent them and negotiate
with Suly through the receivers
The opinion seems 10 he that II will be
two or three days before anything In the
way OF a satisfactory settlement is done.
Samuel Untermyer said today that the
report that he was acting for Lehman
brothers or any OF tho other creditors
named was inaccurate. He had been con-
suited by various interests in the event
Of a contest. but present indications point
to an offer OF settlement which VIII OBJ
viate any necessity for litigation.

SEARCHED HER
From Top to Toe and Found No Struggled
Lace-Her House Ransacked.

A minute before the gangplank of the
Havre bound French liner La Touraine
was lowered yesterday middle aged but
sprightly woman came tripping down to
the pier. Two customs inspectors met her
and told her that they would like to have q
private talk with her. She said she would
be pleased to accommodate them, and they
said 1t would be necessary for her to submit
to a personal search. 49,, =. .-..-,4
Miss Walsh, inspector, undertook the
actual job which was performed. at the re-
quest OF the woman, at the boarding house
she runs with her husband at ISL Ghristo-
pher street, short distance from the French
Line pier.
The woman is Mrs. NJ. V. Senegas She
said later that if all women were searched
emuggle pinch of snuff into America.
Miss Walsh found nothing on Mrs. Senegas
except her clothing. all of which. Mrs.
Senegas frankly declared, was taken off.
1t is said that the inspectors had suspected
Mrs. Senega Of bringing lace ashore. She
says that her house was ransacked two
weeks ago, but that nothing was found or
taken, except one Of the applia noes used
by her husband, who is hair dresser.
She says that officers Of the French Line
room and eat at her house and pay her in
French money. When they start back
for the other side they have American
money, which they want exchanged for
French. She gives them French money
and saves the commission that a broker
would charge her. That, she declares, is
the reason she boards the French ships just
before they sail.

BRYAN WANTS TO KNOW Why,
II New York Wishes to Name the Candidate
Why Does Upstate Override City?

LINCOLN. Neb., June 2.-Under the head
ing AN Illogical Demand Mr.. Bryan
says in to-morrow's Commoner:
THE reorganizers are saying that New
York ought to dictate the platform and
choose the candidate because New York
is expected to furnish the vote necessary
to elect President. She has furnished the
candi date and the platform several times.
1858, 1872 and 1888, for instance, when she
didn't furnish the electoral vote.
-She is now claiming recognition, to the
exclusion of States which have furnished
electoral votes since she did. II the voice
of a section is to be potent IN proportion
as it furnishes votes why did the upper
part of the State override that OF New
York city Democrats? Whenever New
York State furnished a Democratic ma
iority, it came from the city of New York.
not from the upper counties.
1T is little inconsistent for the Hill.
Parker combine to insist that New York
must nominate at the national convention
because she expects to furnish the votes
and then shut out the New York city Demo
Gratis who always furnish the New York
State majority. But New York logic is
never logical in politics"
