rive in Washington this afternoon and be
a guest Of President Roosevelt at the

court and was perfectly fresh at the end

THE CHINESE MINISTER.
President Don't Think There Will Be
Objection to Mr.. WI.

President Roosevelt announced to a gath
ering of newspaper men at the White House
last evening that he assumed that there
would be no objection to the appointment
of Mr.. WI Tingfang as minister from
China to the United States. The President
added, however, that he had not formally
taken up the matter with the State Depart
ment.
Mr.. WI is expected to reach Washington
by January 1, possibly In time for the Pres
ident's New Year reception. This Is the
opinion of the officials at the Chinese le-
CATION, who have received confirmation
of the press dispatches announcing his ap-
pointment. Mr.. Wu will have to go to
Peking for consultation with the authori-
ties there and to obtain his instructions
before he starts for this country. His exact
whereabouts now is not known at the Chi
nese legation, consequently the officials
there are not able to indicate with any
kind of precision his possible movements
Mr. WI Is expected to bring with him
Madame WI and their son, bright young
ster who has attended public school in this

PENNSYLVANIA WRECK
EIGHT PERSONS BADLY HURT
NEAR JUNIATA.

HARRISBURG, Pa, September o7-
Eight persons were injured in a wreck on
the Pennsylvania railroad at Jun,a+,
bridge, west of Duncannon TODAY whom
the Altoona accommodation, leaving Frar
risburg at 1910 am, ran into a Freight
train. The telegraph and telephone wires
were all torn down at the scene Of the
collision so that no particulars can be learn
ed at this time, although railroad officials
say that nobody was killed. Martin G..
Stoner, engineer, of Harrisburg and G. w,
Cook, fireman, of Harrisburg who were in
charge of the passenger locomotive were
slightly injured. Lloyd Ward, an express
messenger of Harrisburg, was seriously
hurt.
A relief train having aboard four nhv.
sicians was rushed through from Harris
burg. Railroad officials refused to allow
newspaper men to go to the wreck on this
train and ordered all westbound trains
stopped at the Rockville bridge five miles
outside of Harrisburg. until one of the four
tracks at the wreck could be cleared.

MAY SUE MET. DIRECTORS.
Minority Stockholders Devising Plans
to Get Money Back.

NEW YORK, September 27.-The minority
stockholders of the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company, who refused their as
sent to the Inter-Met merger, will begin an
action early next week to protect their in
terests under the New York city railway
receivership. Several of these stockholders
met yesterday in the office of George g.
Graham, at AZ Broadway, and took steps
toward organizing protective committee,
of which F. ]. Lisman viii probably be
chairman. The 5000, 600 represented by
the non-assenting minority holders Is d.
vided about equally between New York
and Philadelphia. Mr.. Graham, who was
for several years district attorney in Phil
adelphia, will represent the stockholders Of
that city.
Mr.. Graham and others at the head of
the movement refused yesterday to say
what would be the nature Of the action
that they will bring. The non-assenting
holders would be able to intervene In the
receivership proceedings. or they might
bring an action to have the present re-
ceivers superseded, but the most likely
actioh, in the opinion Of lawyers, is a suit
against the directors of the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company themselves for an
accounting and for the recovery of the
millions which. 1t has been alleged We're
diverted through the various mergers.
Another suit which the non-aSsenting
stockholders will probably bring will be to
compel the Interborough- metropolitan Com
panS to stand by the agreement which it
entered into last May to supply the Metro
politan Company with $l5,CO0O0O The
1nterMet has handed over 81, SOO0GO of
this amount, but since the receivers were
appointed the announcement has been
made that the company will not advance
the rest-$7, ,200OG The Inter-Met lawyers
contend that there Is way by which an
agreement to lend money can be enforced
in the courts and that the only redress
which the Metropolitan stockholders would
have would be in suit for damages.

LUSITANIA GETS HOME
BAD COAL MAKES A SLOW VOY-
AGE.

QUEENSTOWN, September 27-The
Cunard line steamer Lusitania, from New
York, September 21, arrived here at 1866
today, the passage thus occupying five
days four hours and nineteen minutes, or
three hours and twenty-five minutes more
than her outward run. The best days run
was $50 miles. from noon Wednesday to
noon Thursday.
The comparative slowness of the voyage
cannot be attributed to fog. On only one
day, Monday, was fog entered in the log
and the ship ran 524 miles that day. On
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday a
strong northeasterly wind, with a rough
beam sea. was encountered, but during this
time the steamer behaved admirably. LIE
American coal was said by the engineers
not to have been satisfactory as the
coal used during the westward trip and
the stokehole work was not up to the mark.

Gives Her Life to Care of rlaniac Child.
AsHEv1LLE, N. c., Jan. 25.-Con-
fined in a small loghouse, surround
ed by strongly built stockade, and
tended and guarded only by his
devoted mother, Carol Sorrels, a
raving and dangerous maniac, is liv-
ing out his days.
The young man, who is but eigh-
teen years of age, has been violently
insane since his fourth year. He
comes of an afflicted family, his Sis
ter, Carrie Sorrels, who died some
three years ago, also an idiot. Every
effort has been made to place Sorrels
in an asylum, where he could receive
proper care and attention. Appli-
cation has been made to the State
insane asylum at Morgantown, but
the State law explicitly states that
no one born an idiot can be admitted,
only patients whose reason may be
restored by proper treatment being
eligible. There is no place in North
Carolina for the hopelessly insane
except the county jails.
Two years ago Sorrels became so
violent that he became menace to
the community in which he was liv-
ing at Gash's Creek, six miles from
Asheville. He was bound and
brought to this city; examined by a
lunacy commission, and application
made to have him placed in Morgan
ton asylum, but he was refused ad-
mission on the ground that he was a
hopeless idiot. The county author
tiles then had no recourse. but to
confne him in the county Jail, where
he remained until last December.
Just before Christmas his mother
applied to the authorities for his
release, on the plea that she could
not bear to have her son locked up
with criminals. She was told that if
proper provision were made for his
confinement, her son would be re-
stored to her. The log cabin, and
high stockade where then built and
Sorrels was conveyed to Gash's
Creek.
The cabin is constructed of heavy
logs, and consists of two small rooms,
divided by stout bars. The mother
lives and sleeps on one side and her
son on the other. His meals being
served to him through the bars.
These precautions being taken for
the safety of the devoted mother, as
well as for his own safety, as it
would be dangerous to allow him to
reach the fire. During the day he
is allowed to spend his time in the
stockade, always watched by his
mother, who is prepared to devote
her life to him, or sacrifice it if
necessary, rather than that others
should be harmed or that her son be
confined in Jail. During his violent
spells it is unsafe for anyone but his
mother to approach young Sorrels,
but for her he seems to feel a warm
er affection and her voice can soothe
him even in his most fearful out
breaks, and his maniacal yells and
insane laughter are quickly subdued
by her ministrations.
The case is a pitiful one, but un-
less the state law can be amended,
or a special asylum for hopeless!y
insane is built, there does not appear
to be any relief in sight.
The legislature is wrestling with
the dispensary problem at present,
