SULLIVAN MAY 60
 AFTER MONEYS SEAT
MISSISSIPPI SENATORIAL CON- TEST PROMISES TO BECOME EVEN MORE WARM-HE HAS NOT ANNOUNCED.

Washington. September 13.-tSpecial.)- Former Senator W. V. Sullivan will. it is believed here, announce his candidacy for the United States Senate to succeed Senator Money, thus further complicating the senatorial race between Representa- tive John Sharp Williams and Governor Vardaman in Mississippi. Senator Sulll- van was Tn Washington today. He did not care at this early date (senator Moneys term does not expire until 19il), to state that he would be a candidate, but there is every reason to believe that the former senator Is going to make a struggle to regain his place in the upper branch of Congress.
 "I suppose after yellow fever" said the senator today, "the senatorial situa- ton in Mississippi is being more discuss ed than any other subject. While Mir Williams and Governor Vardaman are the only candidates so far to announce there Is plenty of time left for others to enter the race. and, believe the opin- ion in Mississippi Is that number of additional candidates will be voted for at the primary"

No Anti-Fueign Sentiment
 Seems to Exist
TROOPS PLACED ON GUARD
Business Men Are Inclined to Feel That Rioting Is senseless and Mischievous and Must Be
 Strongly Suppressed.

Tokio, September 13.-Q0 a. m.)-Advices from Yokohama say that riot occurred there shortly after midnight Tuesday night. The mob was divided into two bodies numbering about $500, mostly cool ies, boatmen and outcasts. Eight police boxes were demolished. The mob directed its attack against three objects: ke po- lice stations, the residences of the cus- toms officials and the large commercial houses.
 Four hundred troops were sent from Tokio on a special train a little before dawn and ships are now guarding the consulates. the warehouses containing ex- plosives and the oil tanks.
 The governor of the prefecture and the mayor of Yokohama have issues procla- nations instructing the people to place confidence in the ability of the authori- ties to restore order.
 Six hundred Russian prisoners of war from Kadafuto, who were staying at the different hotels have been placed under a special guard. During the riot the police used drawn swords, while the mob was armed with pistols and sword sticks The casualties among the police were threa severely wounded and thirty-seven slight ly injured. Ninety-eight of the men are under arrest. The mob set fire to the police boxes by soaking hats in oil. firing them and throwing them at the object of their attack. Quiet has apparently been restored

ROADS WILL LOCK
 CARS IN GEORGIA
THE ORDER REQUIRING THROUGH TRAINS TO GO AROUND THE AT LANTA BELT LINE WAS coNslD- BRED TOO DRASTIC.

Atlanta, September 1s.-(Special )-The officials of the Atlanta and West Point railroad today made complaint to the state board of health that its order re- quiring them to send around by the Belt road all cars going through the state and containing passengers from yellow fever infected points. would practically neces- sitate a suspension of part of their through service.
 They claimed that the West Point belt and the Southern belt do not connect, and stated therefore 1t would require about four hours to make the transfer of through cars, using the belts in combi- nation with various sidetracks and switching yards.
 Secretary H. F. Harris of the state board informed them that 1t was not the intention of the board to seriously in- terfere with passenger traffic; all the state board desired was assurance that no passengers from yellow fever points would be allowed to disembark from the trains in Atlanta.
 The railroad people gave this assurance. stating the cars would be screened and locked and all such passengers kept in- side them while in the limits of the state. Upon this understanding the West Point will be allowed to continue to bring its through coaches through Atlanta.
 This Is practically the only develop ment today in the state quarantine sit- uation Secretary Harris says he has had reports from many of the inspectors and he is satisfied that the state quarantine is now practically effective at all points.

GERMANY KNOWS NOTHING.
J. Martin Miller Has Never Offended
 Government By His Writings.

Cologne, September 1S-The Cologne Gazette prints an inspired dispatch from Berlin correcting the report that the Ger man government had refused to grant an exequateur to J. Martin Miller, whom President Roosevelt appointed consul at Ak la Chappelle.
 The dispatch says that nothing is known to the Berlin authorities regarding any anti-German utterances made by MT. Miller in his former capacity as news paper writer. The simple statement of the case, the dispatch adds. Is that no de- cision in the ordinary course of business routine has yet been reached regarding the granting of an exequateur to MT. Mill Ter. A dispatch from Washington Septem- Der said that in consequence of the refusal of the German government to grant an exequateur to Mir Miller, he had been appointed consul general to Auckland, New Zealand. and that Con- cul Gen.
