OF nenrly six hundred members aof the
two houses OF bishops and deputies and
several thousand iothers who always t
tend. especially the representatives OF
the yYomhn's AuxIlia ry. The whole sub
1ect was fully discussed, and the ability
tI Richmond to accommodate SO large
q number was fairly presented. Mr.
Morgan and Bishop Greer thought New.
York could better meet the requirements
OF the case. and this was conceded by
the advocates OF Richmond. but the his
ltoric proprlety of Richmond and the in
vitation OF the VIrg!nians prevailed.

gin In tine to- provide for tak!ng care OF
such an accession to Its: transient popu 4

0GE WADDMILL's II OPINION.
One Feature Of Street Railway
litigation Disposed Of.
Another Decision.

In the United States Circuit Court yes
3terday in the case OF the Bowling Green
Trust Company VS.. the Virginia Passen-
ger and Power Company and others.
Judge Edmund Waddill, Jr., delivered
his opinion as to tho petition OF certain
Individual bondholdcrs and stockholders
sof the Virginia. Passenger and Power
Company asking to be allowed rs such
{ to intervene in these proceedings, and to
be made parties defendant. thereto, the
court holding that the. petitioners have
not set forth such a case in their petl-
ton as entitled ~ II en- to intervene here
and such right to intervention and the
filing OF their petition is denied.
The court then heard argument OF
counsel on the suggestion by the petit
tioning minority bondholders and stock
holders that William Northrop. one Of
the receivers in this case is not a proper
person Il to be selected by reason OF his
connection with the property and his re-
latlon to some Of the parties In interest
j t was announced that an opinion would
/ be delivered as to this question a noon
on Tuesday, october 11th. The court,
thereupon ad journed for the day.
The court in dealing with the first
case holds that 1t is the we'll settled
doctrine, TOO well established to need
elaboration thar the trustee In the mort
gage or trust deed or other instrument
creating trust estate speaks and acts
for the ccstuis qui trust, and that the
later are neither necessary nor proper
parties where the fitness OF the partlc-
ular trustee, or his conduct as such, in
falling to efficiently honestly or i'm
partially discharge his duties. is not
brought In question.
Cannot be Tolerated.
To admit each individual stockholder
or bondholder OF corporation to np-
pear OF his own motion and proceed to
assert his rights as hc may be advised
when the same can be as we'll asserted
through the trustee will not be tolerated..
Indeed, It has become. the settled practice
III mortgages of the character under con-
sideratlon here, to provide In terms that
the trustee shall, and the Individual
sert this right. Numerous Federal deci-
sions are referred to to sustain this posi-
ton.
Judge Waddill holds that the petition
Ing stockholdcr does not make a single
averment cntlthng him as such, TO
interpose III his own behalf
The claim Of the petitioners to inter-
pose as individual bondholders is not
based upon any attack upon the COM
planant trustee in the mortgage under
which they are secured. for any malfeas-
nnce or msfcasance on Its part of which
1t has thus far been guilty, but is dl-
rected first to tho matter of the selec-
lion OF the trustee. 1t the Bowling Green

SHOTS
WORK OF BIG GUNS ON NAVAL
VESSELS SHOWS THAT THEY
ARE MOST EFFECTIVE

Local naval men are impressed with
the devastation wrought by the Japan
ese guns in the naval engagements. The
dispatches today told how every officer
of the two cruisers of the Nladivostok
fleet We're killed or wounded, the vessels
ridded and the engines and guns par
TALLY dismantled. This showing is re-
markable, especially as the Japanese
We're not supposed to have attained the
great proficiency in naval firing that
other nations have done. The question
which the naval men ask now is: If
with only per cent of hits in the San
tiago fight, the American vessels were
able to bring such awful destruction on
the Spanish fleet, what will be the re-
suit now that the target work is hum
dreds of per cent better now than it
was six years ago?
The work by the Japanese i'm the use
of torpedoes has been of a high char
acter. The Japanese were known to
naval experts to be in advance of any
other nation in this character of naval
warfare. 1t was appreciated also that
the torpedo boat work would prove
most effective. The United States navy
is also quite proficient in this sort of
fighting But so far as the present war
is concerned, it will cause no change
whatever in the character of battleship.
The battleship occupies exactly the
same position now that it did before the
opening of the war. The recent fighting
has gone to demonstrate how effective
the gun firing from the big vessels real.
