MEMPHIS COMMITTEE
VISITED THE OFFICIALS.
Answers 1t Received Relative to
Administration of the Laws.

Memphis, Tenn, July 16.-The Com
mittee of Public Safety appointed at
a recent mass meeting to-day called
upon Mayor J. ]. Williams, chief of
Police John j. Mason and George
Blackwell. sheriff of Shelby county,
with request that these officials state
what they would do in the future to-
wards closing alleged dives and run
ming criminals out of the community.
The answer of Sheriff Blackwell was
satisfactory to the committee.
Mayor Williams said that owing to
the complicated city and state statutes
regarding gambling, he would require
more time to give a detailed answer to
the committees demands.
The recent action of Vice Mayor Hen
derson in declaring against Chief Ma
son practically assures the latter's re-
tirement from the head of the police
department.

The Road VIII Soon be Running
Trains Into Atlanta.
Atlanta, July 16.--The Louisville and
Nashville Railroad is closing its option
on West End property as rapidly as
possible. To-day the trade for two
pieces of property was closed and the
consideration passed.
The total amount paid for these two
pieces was s1S5.O0O. One of them was
the twenty-five acres belonging to An
thony Murphy, for which $4,000 was
paid. The other was the p. #. Smith
place, for which $4,000 was paid.
The Louisville and Nashville will use
this and other property for railroad
yards. and its belt line. 1t will use
part of the old Central of Georgia Belt
Line right of way from Westview
Cemetery to Ellen N. station on the
Western and Atlantic Railroad.
The Louisville and Nashville is pre-
pairing to get into Atlanta as soon as
possible, and will be running trains
here within the next six months.

ling Green Trust Co.
Richmond, Va, July 16.-The Vir-
ginia Passenger and Power Company,
embracing the Richmond Passenger
and Power Company and the Richmond
Traction Company, was placed in the
hands of receivers to-day by Judge
Waddll of the United States District
Court upon petition of the Bowling
Green Trust Company.
William Northup and Henry T. Wick
ham were named as receivers. The Vir-
ginia Passenger and Power Company
is capitalized at $15,OOO,OOO and operates
in three Virginia cities-Richmond,
Manchester and Petersburg. Frank
Jay Gould is the majority stockholder.
A suit brought by George e. Fisher
of New York for a receivership is now
being argued in the State Circuit Court
at Petersburg, the defendants claim
ing that there is no necessity for re-
ceiVership.
The explanation of the application to
a United States court for the appoint
ment of a receiver in the case of the
street car properties is that 1t was
made by the Gould interests to prevent,
as they claim, the disintegration of the
properties. The receivers as appointed
have accepted and qualified.
The order for a receiVerShip was
signed by Judge Waddill at Norfolk at
O'Clock this morning, the attorneys
for the Gould interests having pro-
ceeded to that city in a special train
to Newport News, and thence by spe-
cial tug to Norfolk. This was done, 1t
was stated. to head off Fisher who, 1t
was understood. intended to apply to
the United States court for a receiver.

TO NOTIFY ROOSEVELT
with Much EcIat on July 81 at
Oyster Bay.

ON
Oyster Bay, L. l., July 16.-President
Roosevelt and Secretary Loeb are per-
fecting arrangements for the ceremo-
MES incident to the Presidents formal
notification of his nomination. which
wi! take place at Sagamore Hill on
July q. All of the details have not
yet been worked out, but the prepara-
tions practically have been completed
in a general way.
The ceremonies will not be elaborate
or ostentatious. Indeed, they will be
marked by simplicity. About 100 peo-
pie, including the members of the Ma
tional Committee, will be present.
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, the chair
man of the Notification Committee,
will deliver to the President the COM
mittees announcement. To this the
President will respond at some length.
AS now arranged the President and
Speaker Cannon will address the lit
tie assemblage from the veranda of
the Sycamore Hill home. The ceremo-
MES will take place at about 1 o'clock
in the afternoon. At the conclusion of
his address the President will enter
tain those present at luncheon, which
probably will be laid on the wide
veranda, which encircles half of the
house.
No further definite information has
been received at the executive offices
concerning the proposed visit to the
President of a committee of Pennsyl-
vania miners to present to him a pc
tition regarding the Colorado labor sit
uation; but it is know that the Presi-
dent has indicated to some friends in
Pennsylvania that a date next week
for the call will be satisfactory to him.
1t is expected that former Secretary
of War Elihu Root will be an early
visitor to the President, who desires
to consult with him on subjects of mu-
tual interest and Importance

Organization VIII Also Have Places
On the New York Democratic
Ticket-McCarren Not Likely to
BE in Charge-A Conference OF
Democratic Leaders Is to Be Held
To-mOrrOw-Events at Judge Par
ker's Home.
Esopus, N. Y, July 16.-There ap-
pears to be little foundation for the
published announcement that State
Senator McCarren is to be in charge of
the Democratic campaign in the East.
Tammany Hall, it is believed, will take
a large part in it, and is to have recog-
milton on the Democratic state ticket.
There is to be an important Demo-
cratic conference in New York city on
Monday, probably in the evening, at
which will be present a considerable
number of leading Democrats. Judge
Parker will not be there. Who the
participants will be can only be con-
jectured, but the list seems likely TO
be large and to include former Senator
Davis, former Senator Hill, Mr.. Shee-
han, former Senator Murphy, Senator
German, State Senator McCarren, Au-
gust Belmont and National Committee
man Iohn w. Kern of Indiana.
If Tammany is to be represented,
which is likely, it is said that State
Senator Victor j. Bowling and Con-
gresham Cochran may be present.
Judge Parker himself disposed of
the rumor that his campaign headquar-
ters will be in Kingston. II shall stay
here" said he, this evening, in reply
to the definite question.
Judge Edgar NJ. Cullen of Brooklyn
of the Court Of Appeals spent an hour
or more with Judge Parker this after
noon, taking luncheon at Rosemount.
Two rumors got abroad about his Wis
il, one that Judge Cullen came to urge
Judge Parker not to resign, the other
that he came to fix a date for a fare
well dinner to be given the Judge by
his associates in the Court of Appeals.
claring that Judge Cullen's visit was
purely personal.
No Joint Notification.
Mr.. sheehan will go to New York
Monday morning, for two days. He
said to-day that he expected to see
Senator German in New York, and
doubtless also Mr. Davis. The latter
is expected to come to Rosemount
about Wednesday
No further steps have been taken to-
wards a joint notification Of the two
candidates, and there is little reason
to suppose that any such thing will
take place. There Is no precedent for
it. and 1t is understood here that West
Virginia Democrats are not enthusiast
tic over the proposition.
Reports that Mr.. Sheehan is to run
for Lieutenant Governor, United States
senator or for any other political Of
1ce are believed to have no founda-
tion.
National Committeeman John w.
Kern of indianapolis arrived at ESQ
pus late this afternoon, and will spend
the night az Rosemount. Early in the
evening he went for q drive with Mrs
Hall, and later had a long conference
with Judge Parker.

The commission proposes TO go as
far as the law and circumstances per-

KUROPATKIN is NOW
PATTED ON THE BACK.

st. Petersburg, July II, 2;50 a. m.-
Experts who until recently were in
clined to criticise Gen. Kuropatkin's
management of affairs in the Far East
declare, as the situation develops, that
his strategy has proved, so far, beyond
reproach. He has successfully tided
over a pressing danger-how pressing
only those in close touch with the Far
East realize. His apparent mistakes,
like the prolonged resistance offered by
Lieut.. Gen. Zassalitch on the Yalu,
turned out to be acts of the highest
military judgment
Gen. Kuropatkin then had so few and
such poor troops at Lao Yang that the
Japanese would have had an easy task
to crush the main force of the Rus
slams, had they been permitted to cross
the Yalu, without severe punishment;
and the thousands lost by Zassalitch
practically saved Liao Yang. Zassa-
Itch, until disgraced, occupied an i'm
portant staff position.
Gen. Baron Stakelberg's march,
which also was criticised, is now ad-
mitted to have been necessary. The
march was a reconnaissance on
grand scale, and not only enabled Gen.
Kuropatkin to ascertain the enemys
strength and disposition, but material
ly disturbed the Japanese plans rela-
tive to the siege of Port Arthur, grad
ually drawing the bulk of the Japa-
nese army to follow the retreating col
umn and thus distracting attention
from the vulnerable spot between Lao
Yang and Mukden.
Meanwhile the men at Kuropatkin's
headquarters are improving. Fifty
thousand of the best troops from Eu-
ropean Russia have reached Lao Yang
within a month. and If the Russian
commander-in-c in the Far East
now chooses to accept battle, he will
be able to infiict a heavy blow. All
Russia is looking forward with conf
dence to the issue of the fight.

ELLIS BORE TREATY
ON TO KING MENELIK.

Washington, July Inquiry at the
State Department tonight ELECTED the
fact that when it was decided to have
the treaty carried forward from Paris
by w. H. Ellis in order to insure its
prompt arrival in Abyssinia, a cable
gram was sent to King Menelilx stating
explicitly that, as the messenger who
had set out with the treaty had dis
appeared, it would probably be sent on
by w. H. Ellis, who carried it as a
matter of accommodation and who is
proceeding to Abyssinia on personal
business in which this govrnment has
no interest and with which it has no
concern"
1t also was stated in the same ca
blegram that the bearer of the treaty,
whoever he was, would have no Off
cial or diplomatic character whatso-
ever. King Menelik has acknowledged
receipt of this message and said that
the status of the bearer of the treaty
was perfectly understood by him.
