NORFOLK, VA, October 26.-The re-
norts Of more financial difficulty regard
ing the Atlantic Hotel excited interest
here. 1t has been in financial difficulties
ever since the Williams syndicate at
tempted to acquire the property and build
a hotel on It. 1t has been in the courts
several times, and Is now in the posses
sion of the court officers. The story Is
that H. d. Eichelberger OF Richmond; !;
w. C. Cobb and Henry Kirn. of Norfolk,
have bought the option Of John L. VIII
lanis and Sons. OF Richmond, for $3.50
Mr. Cobb onflrms that report and says:
.If the NFilliamses do not deliver the
property to us we will sue them"
Edward wolcott, attorney for sthe At
lantic Building Company, says: me
holders Of all OF the common stock of
the Atlantic Building Company, together
with the board of directors and officers
OF said company, have no knowledge of
and have not consented to the proposed
sale. They know Of nothing whatever
& Of It,"
There Is a great deal of mystery and
com plicatton in the affairs of the prop
erty, which has been run partly as hotel
and as an office building. 1t is lKely
that 1t has been sold or that John J..
Williams and Sons have sold the option
on the property to the syndicate here.
If the option has been sold. the sale Will
be hotly contested in the courts by the
Atlantic Building Company. On, the other
hand Mr.. Cobb's declaration that he and
his associates will sue John L. Williams
and Sons the sale falls through, looks
like litigation either way.
c. M. Randolph. president OF the At
lantic Building Company, Is In Richmond
battling for his company. and is be-
hind the statement Of Attorney Wolcott.
The price OF $4,000 mentioned in the
deal is regarded as small figure for the
property Involved. Half a million dollars
is mentioned AS being a moro equitable
figure. other Developments in the situaf-
tion are. expected to occur soon In order
to determine the possession Of the prop
erty.SS
Tho holders Of the securities against
the company are vested with the right
to > sell athe property and recover the
amount OF their liens at any time. This
is denied by tho company and Mr. VOL
colt says that II the building has been
sold over their heads suit will be the
logical outcome.

such is now She case since Mr..
Bristow, in his new capacity OF
Special Panama Railroad Commits
sioner has made his report and re-
on the commercial
side of the Panama Railway. The
Panama Railroad has always accord
ed the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany a monopoly Of all transpOrta-
ton Carried across the Isthmus and
that company has had the temerty
TO demand a renewal OF its contract.
When this was done the President
appointed Mr.. Britows a special COM
missioner TO investigate the claims
of the Pacific Steamship company
and Mr.. Bristow's report practical
ly substantiates the finding OF con-
gressional committee which found.
in 1893, that the Transcontinental
Railway Pool was paying the Psna-
ma Railroad 5000. 900 a year for the
privilege of debating rates via the
Isthmus, so that the extortionate
rates for freight and passengers
across the continent would not suf-
fer from competition. Mr.. Bristow
further finds that the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, which has
doubtless also benfitted by pay
ments from the railroads, has never
made any effort to develop its com
merce on the Pacific coast, although
there is ample room for SO doing.
Accordingly, Mr.. Bristow recon-
mends that the transportation of
freight and passengers between
Panama and Colon and the United
! States be thrown open to the compe-
tition of the ships of the world that,
If the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany refuses to develop its line on
the Pacific coast and serve points
other than San Francisco, an effort

induce reliable company to estab

and the Gulf ports of the United
States; and, that, if this cannot b.
done, the Panama Railroad itself es
tablish such line. All this will
prove as gall and wormwood to thu

will inevitably bring into action

News has reached here from Tok yo
and st. Petersburg which has been
interpreted to mean that the first
formal meeting of the peace confer
ence between Russia and Japan will
occur in Washington on August /,
in accordance with the earnest re-
presentations of the President that
all possible expedition should be
used 10 prevent, in SO far as may
be, further loss of life in Manehuria.
1t is now expected that the plenipo-
tentiaries will hold one formal meet
ing in Washington, after which they
will adjourn 10 meet at some sea
shore city in New England. 1t is
further expected that the plenipe-
tentiarieS, with their respective
suites, will embark at Washington
on naval vessels which will be pro-
vided for the purpose, and will sail
directly to Oyster Bay, there to
pay their respects to the President,
before proceeding to such place as
may be ultimately selected for their
summer meetings. Whatever place
may be selected for the meetings of
the plenipotentiaries during the
hot weather, it is assumed that they
will return TO the national capital
for their final conference and will
here sign the treaty of Washing
ton which, it is expected, will be
the product of their conference. IL
would surprise no one if the meet
ings extended over q considerable
period OF time, say three or four
months; and it is expected that be-
fore the time comes for the signing
of treaty the temperature in the
national capital will have become
once more bearable.

What becomes of the presidential
aspirations with which Secretary
Taft has been credited is not known
and Mr.. Taft is not here to speak
for himself, but it is intimated by
those on the inside of Republican
politics that Mr.. Taft will receive
compensation in the form of pro-
mise from Mr.. Root of the Chief
usticeship of the Supreme Court
in the event that Melville w. Fuller
is not sufficiently accommodating
either to resign or die during the
present administration. Mr.. Taft
is essentially a lawyer and he would
dearly love TO preside over the Su-
preme Bench. That is a life posi-
ton whereas the presidency may
not last more than four years, = can
not last to exceed eight in any
event,-and besides Mr.. Taft might
not command sufficient support TO
secure the nomination. whereas Mr..
Root, who has the absolute confidence
Of the Wall Street crowd could.
doubtless. with the assistance of the
President, command the nomination
and would then be subjected only
TO the danger of defeat at the polls,
u danger which will prove small I'M
less the Democrats bestir themsel-
YES and perfect a stronger and ADLER
organization than they now possess,
between now and the summer of
1908.

The selection of Mr.. Root for the
first place in the cabinet places u
new significance on the political
situation within the Republican
party and is accepted by many lead
ing Republicans Is unquestionaole
evidence that the President hopes
TO make Eiihu Root his heir To the
presidency. Even Secretary Shaw,
who cherishes large sized presiden.
tial aspirations of his own, fears the
result OF Mr.. Roots accession to the
Secretaryship OF State, fears it so
much that he is almost inclined TO
give up the fight for which he has
alread been making elaborate pre-
parations.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Rrorn Our Regular Correspondence


President Roosevelt has persuad-
ed Elihu Root, former Secretary OF
War, to accept the position OF Secre-
tary OF State and it is generally con-
ceded that be would not have made
a wiser choice from among the pro-
minent Republicans mentioned in
this connection. Mr.. Root has, in
the eighteen months which have
succeeded his REIMBURSEMENT of the
portfolio of war, as in the many
years which proceeded its assump-
ton, been the attorney for some of
the most fragrant trusts, but his
conduct OF the affairs of the War
Department affords ground for the
belief shat as Secretary of State he
will devote his entire energies and
abilities To the interests OF the coun-
try wish absolute siugleness OF pur-
pose.
