"Richmond is at the present time In

All Slemp's Work.
The following telegram was received
last night from the regular correspondent
OF The Times-D Dispatch in Washington:
Representative Slemp is authority for
the statement that the President has
decided to announce in a few days the
appointment OF Roy T.. Cabell to tha
postmastcrship of Richmond. The Presi-
dent thought for some time. at least,
that. Mr. Cabell was James Branch
Cabell the author. and told caller
with whom he was discussing the sub
ject OF Richmond office, that he was IN
cllned to appoint Cabell. as he had
read much of his matter published In the
magazines, and liked 1t.
Besides. he said, he had always had
liking for these literary fellows"
to use the term which he employed
The objection to the reappointment OF
wray II Knight was the assertion made
by the friends of Representative slenp
who backed Cabell, that Mr.. Knight did
not put up any sort OF fight for the
party In the Third District. Represen-
tatiye Lamb. discussing this charge to-
day, said that n large portion OF the
white Republicans of the district always
voted for him when he was candidate
and that even many negroes cast their
votes for him. Captain Lamb was not
inclined to blame knight. nor to fear
tho result of Cabell's appointment In IN
creased political activity in district.

ON THE TICKET
CONSIDERED
Mayor Met Clellan is Mentioned
as a Possibility Bird s.
Coler is Another.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York. July ALREADY with
the admirers of William J. Bryan of
recent date, including some Of his
ancient foes, the situation, so far as
the next democratic national conven-
tion is concerned, has reached the
vice presidential stage. In other words,
suggestions are being constantly and
continually made that this candidate
or that candidate would run we'll on
the ticket with Bryan. The Brooklyn
Daily Eagle, which is nothing Of a
friend of Mr.. Bryan, or at least has
been one of his strongest opponents
in former campaigns, suggests, per-
haps with not all the sincerity and
seriousness given to presidential poll
tics in the south and the west, that
Bird s. Coler, the newly elected presi-
dent of the borough of Brooklyn,
might be given second place on the
ticket with Bryan. Coler, it will be
remembered, was elected borough
president as the municipal ownership
candidate. He has always been some
thing of q radical in politics, though
he has always been regular until last
year, something unusual for radical
in this particular section of the coun-
try, where the most of the fun in poll
tics-that is, II you are in politics for
the fun Of the thing-is found in
smashing the machines.
Meanwhile a new vice presidential
possibility has loomed up. When
Mayor Mcclellan sailed for Europe a
week ago not even the most sugges-
tive Of the suggesting school of poll
ticians offered the suggestion that he
had gone across the water and that he
was deliberately planning to meet
William Jennings Bryan. However.
the thought is now being advanced that
the next democratic national ticket
will read Bryan and Mcclellan.

TOO REALISTIC.

Philadelphia, Pa. July 1.-Two
colored boys who were imperson-
ating chicken thieves for the
benefit of some moving picture
men along York road. had bad
quarter of an hour yesterday with
some residents in that vicinity,
who took the make-believers for
reality and visited the supposed
culprits with condign punishment
in the shape of sundry cuffs and
blows. AS a result one of the boys,
Philip Johnson, 13 years old, had
one rib broken and his scalp lac
Grated.
The picture men, representing
New York company. made
contract with Elihu p. Shirley. on
York road to use his place as the
theater of the imaginary raid on
the chicken yard. Each with
squaking fowl under his arm.
Johnson and a companion ran
down the road from the ostensibly
plundered chicken house. while the
picture men chased them in coun-
terfeited rage. The affair was so
realistic that some neighbors. in
righteous indignation. fell upon
the luckless boys and pummeled
them until they were rescued by
the picture men.

DR.. Andrew d. White Tells of Student
Days at Yale.

Days at Yale.
Associated Press to The Evening Tlmes.
Ithaca, N. Y, Jul y7.~-The closing
session of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science was
held this week in Barnes hall. Dr.
Andrew D. White, former president Of
Cornell university, deSUAl I'D his first
attendance at meeting of the asso-
citation. fifty years ago, in the summer
of 1856 at Albany The occasion was
the opening of the Dudley observatory
and was general glorifcation Of
science. Such eminent men as Ages
siz. Everett, Bancroft, Henry and
Beard were the speakers.
DR.. White said that when he was at
Yale, there was not single student
in his class of 109 members who had
the slightest aspiration in a scientific
direction, and he remembered how one
morning, on seeing student at q
window, in his room, examining son,e-
thing in test tube, he said to inim-
self, what a futile occupation for a
man with an alleged immortal SOUL"
The whole scientific apparatus of Yale
in those days could be contained now
in one of the smallest recitation rooms
at Cornell.
Going afterward as a professor to
the University of Michigan, DR.. White
said he found that all the apparatus
in the department of physics there
could be put in an ordinary wardrobe.
He then told of the changes which
have occurred since those days ard
congratulated the association on the
bright outlook for science.

ties of Seattle at its regular meeting
last night declared that August Rosen-

picion of being an anarchist with de-
signs against the life of Emperor

mixer of paints, The letter which
caused the arrest of Rosenberg, the
members of the sleiety claim, was
written by an enemy of Rosenberg to
the authorities in the fatherland. A
prominent member of the committee
having known Rosenberg for several
years states that Rosenberg was the
inventor and investigator of paint
compounds and that the chemicals
and apparatus found in Rosenberg's
old shop were all for the purpose of
experimentation in this line. Most of
his supplies in his researches were
purchased from a local firm and DR..
Warmberg, chemist, was often called
into consultation by Rosenberg touch

committeeman, Rosenberg was 72

BULGARIA MAY YET
CHANGE TO A
KINGDOM
But Long Cherished Hope Of
Prince Ferdinand is Still
Unrealized.
Associated Press Cable to The Evening
TimeA

IVCmIDX
TimeA
Vienna, July Nineteen years ago
today. Ferdinand of Coburg was elect
ed Reigning Prince OF Bulgaria by the
national assembly. The anniversary
finds him apparently as far removed
as ever from realization of his am
bition to have Bulgaria proclaimed in
dependent and himself elevated to the
kingship. Prince Ferdinand recently
sent his premier Gen. Petroff to those
European chancelleries personally in
terested in the status of the Balkan
principality to gain their consent to
the proclamation of Bulgarian inde-
pendence. The mission was failure.
At the same time the European
cabinets regarded the aspirations of
that man who would be king" with
growing concern, as they recognize
that he might any day set fire to the
Balkan powder barrel and cause an
international conflagration.
The position of Prince Ferdinand
and his government, Is an anomaly in
the Balkans. Their present status is
utterly incommensurate with the i'm
portance of the political tumult of
which they are periodically the centre.
Russia, which at present is ready to
seize any opportunity to divert at
tentiOn from her own internal strifes,
Is known to be in favor of Bulgarian
indepedence. England also believes
that the Balkan question would be
greatly simplified If the interested
powers could treat directly with
Ferdinand as king. instead of being
obliged to approach him through his
over-lord, the sultan of Turkey France
and Italy would probably fall into line
with England in the matter.
The insurmountable obstacle in the
way of Prince Ferdinand's ambitions
lies with Emperor Francis Joseph of
Austria-Hungary. The venerable
emperor has strong personal dislike
for Prince Ferdinand. This was in
tensified when the latter. in order to
ingratiate himself with the Gear, not
only violated solem pledges which he
had made to the Vienna government in
connection with the conclusion of a
treaty of commerce, but likewise Of
tended the religious sentiments of
Francis Joseph by causing his eldest
boy. Prince Boris, to be converted
from Catholicism to the Russian
church. These two things, together
with the scandals which have dis
graced the court of Sofia, notably in
connection with the murded of Stam-
bouloff. who was friend of Austria,
SO enraged Francis Joseph that he
declined for some years to have any,
thing whatever to do with Prince
Ferdinand, declaring that the latter
was not the kind of man with whom
any gentleman could afford to shake
hands.
