Norfolk, Va, Oct. 4.-The Italian
steamer Citta Di Palermo, bound for
New Orleans with a valuable cargo
from Italy, lies stranded on the Dia-
mond Shoals, one mile from Cape Hat
teras Life-Saving Station, and wreck
ing tugs have gone to her assistance.
The vessel is commanded by Captain
Massardo and had touched at New
York, Baltimore and Norfolk to dis
charge part of her lading.
The vessel went ashore at $3.50
o'clock last night during thick
weather, and the crew of thirty men
were landed in life boats today by life
cavers from the Cape Hatteras and
Creeds Hill stations. The reports re-
ceived during the day from the
stranded ship indicated that the yes
sci is in good condition, and while
still hard aground no immediate fears
were felt for the ship. No details
additional to those received during
the day reached Norfolk tonight.
The wreck was due to a mistake in
taking the Cape Hatteras lights for
the Diamond Shoals lightship. The
wrecking expedition will begin it's eff

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, Oct. 4.-Strong protest
will be made to Secretary Metcalf of
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor, against any modification by the
State Department of its circular of
June 26, directing the American con-
suls in China personally to inquire
into the truth of statements in chi
nese certificates before issuing them.
The instructions referred to have be-
come known as "the Presidents cir
cular' in that it was issued by his
direction following the boycott estab-
lished by China against the lmporta-
ton of American goods.
1t was the principal subject OF dis
cussion at yesterdays cabinet meet
ing, which Secretary Metcalf was I'M
able to attend on account OF Illness
He expressed great surprise today
upon learning that in his absence the
Cabinet members present took the po-
sition that the regulations OF the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
were responsible for the strained rela-
tons between the two countries, over
the subject of the admission of the
Chinese to a greater degree than are
the laws themselves.

Ford. who was injured Tuesday on
the Southern Freight yards, was
without medical attention for an
hour
1t was stated yesterday by DR.. HUI
bert A. Register. who attended the
injured man. that the statement was
erroneous, as he was with Mr.. Ford
shortly after he was injured; and
that as for the ambulance not being
sent for, Mr. Ford would have been
obliged to remain without the abso-
lutely necessary immediate hospital
treatment if the ambulance had been
summoned and therefore he was
carried to the hospital in the vehicle
nearest to hand.

Washington. Oct 4.--"President
Roosevelt is dead in earnest on the
subject of railroad rate legislation.

legislative regulations shall be enact
ed looking to Federal supervision of
the freight rate situation
This statement was made today by
Representative Townsend. of Michi-
gan. one of the authors of the social
ed ch-Townsend Railroad Rate
Bill, which passed the House OF Rep
resentatives last winter. after con-
ference with President Roosevelt.
II have no authority to represent
the Presidents views as to railroad
rates" said Mr.. Townsend. "but l can
say that he entertains now the same
views in principle as he expressed In
his message last December. lie be-
lieves that either to the interstate
commerce commission or to some
other body ought to be given the
authority to adjust rates found to be
unreasonable. The crnx of the Who'e
matter is not that the commission
should fix rates. but that 1t should
have the power to substitute n rea-
sonable rate for one found on m
vestigation to be unjust. without
such authority the evils complained
of could not be reached"

To business men the most encour-
aging feature of the yellow fever sit
uation is the disposition that Is be-
ing manifested by parishes and towns

about October 13 in harmony with the
suggestion of Dr. White and Presi-
dent Souchon.

nounced. will open on November L.

operation.
Superintendent Easton, of the New
Orleans schools has issued an order
to each of the six hundred teachers
employed to give brief talks daily to
the children on the mosquito theory.
One of the chief feature of the
Presidents reception here was to have
been a banquet at which the repre-
sentative citizens of Louisiana were
to have gathered and the President
was, to have been afforded an oppor-
tunity to speak freely Advices from
Washington are that the program ar
ranged contemplates only days

suade him to extend his stay in order
that he may attend the banquet.
