J. J. Astor Next to Marshall Field on
the List
New York American: The report
from Chicago that Marshall Field. the
meRhant of that city, pays taxes on a
greater amount of property than any
other man in the United States tue to-
tai being put at $l0,00O,OOO. called at-
tention to the fact that in John Jacob
Astor New York City has a close sec
ond, the latter being ossessed for prop
erty worth $35,3OO,000.
While Mr.. Field pays taxes on s4O,-
100000 worth of Chicago property, this
represents only fraction of his wealth
Besides being interested in numerous
corporations and business enterprises,
he has large real estate holdings out
side of Chicago and is large stock
and bond holder, especially in the Pull
man Palace Car Company. l. is esti-
mated that Mr.. Field is worth between
$3.50, 100000 and s300.000,000.
John Jacob Astor is the only one Of
New York's rich men whose real es-
tate holdings are comparable with those
of Mr.. Field. being about $5.000,000
less in value than the Cnicagoans. Will
liam Waldorf Astor lives in London,
but he pays taxes on $27,5OO,OOO of real
estate in this city. Andrew Carnegie
heads the personal property list here,
being assessed for $5,OOO,OOO.
John D. Rockefeller Is assessed for
only $1,000, 900, while Russell Sage pays
taxes on $2,OOO,OOO.
Pittsburg has a resident, II. c. Frick,
of coke and iron fame, who owns near
ly s10,OOO,OO0 worth of taxed real es-
tate, all in the city. Wealthy Boston's
largest individual taxpayer Is J. Mont
gomery Sears, whose contribution to
the city is $67917 yearly.
Philadelphia's largest record against
an individual taxpayer is $3O,OOO,OOO

FORMAL LETTER
 OF ACCEPTANCE
DR. ALDERMAN WRITES TO THE
 RECTOR OF UNIVERSITY OF VIR- GINA, OF WHICH HE WAS RE. GENTLY ELECTED PRESIDENT.

Richmond, Va. July 1.-The following letter, dated New York, July T. has been received by Charles P. Jones. rector of the University of Virginia. from Dr. Ed win A. Alderman:
 My Dear MT. Jones-On Tuesday. June A. l had the honor to receive your tele- gram announcing my election as president of the University of Virginia Yesterday 1 sent, by telegram, to you my formal ac- eeptance of that great honor and trust
 Tt seems to me proper that l should more formally and by letter, aeauaint you of my decision. l have spent the three weeks intervening between the ac- tion of the board of visitors and my de- cision in an earnest effort to discover the right thing to do in this great matter. As you well know, I did not seek this high office and this great responsibility, for my mind and heart were full of prob lems of Tulane university of Louisiana, an institution dear to me, and full of power for the future, in our national life.
 Tt cost me much suffering to sever my relations with that university and with
 
 people who sustain it. bdt I have come to you because the call seems to me a clear call of duty and responsibility, which could not put aside.
 This is no moment for protestation. shall give to the University of Virginia, whatever of strength l have of mind or body or spirit. l shall study it's past with reverence and 1 shall seek to build about it for the future in the spirit of a man who has something very precious entrust- ed to his keeping.
 "Of my own self I can do very little, and that little ill but if strength of every man and woman who loves the uni versity and understand it's meaning to American life may be relied upon then, indeed, great work may be done.
 T shall make many mistakes without doubt; the collge president who avoids mistakes is the one who cunningly does nothing. l shall, however, believe that the board of visitors and the people of Virginia to whom the university belongs will have the patience with me if my pur- pose be clear to do what I can"

MEXICAN ELECTION IS OVER.
People of Republic Rejoice Over Elec.
 tion of Diaz and Corral.

Mexico City July 1.-The formal cleo ton for the president of the republic of Mexico took plact today.
 The electors met. transacted their busi- ness and announced the election of Por- fro Diaz as president and Ramon Cor ral as vice president
 The election took place two weeks ago, but it amounted simply to the making of returns, as the two candidates were unopposed The following day the presi- dent announced in a proclamation that in- asmuch as there was no opposition to himself or MT. Corral, they were elected by the people subject to the board of electors, which met today. The board of electors were named last week by the various states, and met today for the purpose of announcing to the republic and to the world that six years Porfiro Diaz would be president and Ramon Corral vice president. The election was receiv- ed with general satisfaction throughout the country
 The election is taken here as to mean that Corral will, in the near future be the real president, for President Diaz is aging rapidly. and is feeling the strain of his office and he is going to retire in reality, though he will nominally be the president. In doing this he will be re- lieved of the arduous active duties of office, and will at the same time satisfy the people who love an honor him. It is believed that Gov. Miguel Ahumada, of the state of Jalisco, will be selected as MT Corrars successor as minister of the interior.
 Tonight band concerts were given on the principal plazas and were enjoyed by the masses who acclaimed the election of Diaz and Corral.

MACK OUTLINES
 COMMITTEE PLANS
HE SAYS CHAIRMAN JONES WILL GALL MEETING OF NATIONAL BODY ONLY AFTER coNsuLTA- TON WITH JUDGE PARKER.

St Louis. July 11.-Natlonal Democratic Committeeman Norman E. MacA of New York tonight, sent the following message to ". F sheehan at New York, making clear the exact status of the new na- tiona1 committee and when it will hold it's first regular meeting in order to dispeI any rumors that have arisen re- garding the organization of the new com- mittee.
 Senator James K Jones will under the instructions given him by the resolu- ton passed by the convention Saturday night, call meeting of the national com mittee as soon as he confers with Judge Alton B. Parker. the nominee of the party for President and his friends and learns from them the date fixed for noti- flying the nominees of their selection by the convention.
 'He will then call meeting of the national committee to be held in New York city, it being Judge Parker's wish to meet as many as possible of the na- tional committeeman in attendance upon the meeting It is therefore it's purpose that Chairman Jones will first consult with Judge Parker in order to make the date of the notification and national committee meeting coincide and thus af- ford the candidate an opportunity to meet the men who w1i lead his campaign in the various states
 At this meeting the committee will elect a chairman, secretary, treasurer and congratulations. The committee will then take up such other matters as properly come before it at that time. The national committee will of course consult Judge Parker and his friends be- fore organization.
 So many garbled reports have been sent out that 1 deem it necessary to make this statement as made me by Chairman Jones, who has been chairman of the na- tional committee for eight years
