to the physicians, Mrs Longswortn
emerged from the influence OF the
anaesthetic in a very short time and
after exchanging a few words with
Mrs. Cowles, her aunt, and with ner
husband, she fell asleep naturally and
enjoyed a nap lasting two hours. Her
condition was such that the President
felt little apprehension and in fact did
not hesitate TO engage in his after
noon tennis game with Ambassador
Jusserand, Clifford Pinchot and Assis-
tant Attorney General Cooley.
The preparations have been making
for the operation for nearly month,
il being known during that time Mrs.
Longsworth was suffering from in
cipient Inflammation of the vermiform
appendix. About a week ago prepaT-
atoms were begun for the operation
which it was deemed best to undertake
before she had suffered a loss Of
strength that would be sure TO ensue
from a severe attack of appendicitis.
Mrs. Lengsworth consented cheerful
" to undergo this ordeal and as late
as last evening, while she was on r
diet in preparation for the operation
enjoyed a game of bridge-whist at the
White House.
It was stated today that Mrs. Longs
worth had suffered from appended
tis cometime ago and had never fully
recovered from its effects
Recently she had been ailing but
had not been confined to her bed.
The first attack was treated and re-
lieved without an operation. but upon
its re-occurence the present plan was
considered to be the proper effectual
remedy.

now IT MAS RECEIVED
Rooscvclts Announcement Subject OF
Great Deal OF Discussion-DCmo-
CRATIC Views.

Washington, December 12.-The re-
announcement by President Roosevelt
that under no circumstances will he ba
the third term was the subject of a
great deal OF discussion at thecapitol
today. probably more so In the house
than in the senate. The senator's, As
a rule, expressed qualification that the
pronouncement had come. Senator
Bourne, the senate champion of tho
third term movement, still believes
that President Roosevelt will hear the
command OF the people. Whether he
will obey or not Is another question
with Mr.. ourne. In one little sena-
torial group on the republican side the
belief was expressed that the declara-
tion Of Mr. Roosevelt makes the nom
iration OF Mr.. Bryan by the demo-
cratic party certain. and a belief was
guardedly hazarded by one republican
senator that he might possibly be elect
ed.
Members az the democratic nationalf
committee who were in the city were
among the most interested OF the
readers Of the announcement and while
most OF them were reserved in their
comment, il was evident from their
manner that they saw in II a fav-
orable omen for their own party. Sew
eral OF them were frank enough TO
express the opinion that President
Roosevelt could poll larger demo-
oil To
and their inference was that with tho
president absolutely out Of the race
the democratic candidate would not
only retain the vote Of his own party
but would stand a better show OF max
ing inroads upon the opposition.

agree with most of prominent demo
Gratis that the presidents re-announce-
nent will have any effect on demo
cratic chances. We had taken the
president at his word" he said, "and
had entirely anticipated what he would
say just what he has said.

AGREEMENT REACHED.
Southern Railway Will Accelle to p
Cent Rate.

Montgomery, December 12-At a
meeting held in the office of Governor
Conner today an agreement was reach
ed on the part Of the Southern rail-
way to keep in force the 1-2 cents
passenger rates until the rate question
is settled in other states in which the
road operates. 1t was agreed some
time ago that this road would keep in
Alabama as low a rate as maintained
in any other state. While no agreed
rate is on in any other state lower
than 2 3-4 cents which Alabama now
allows, cases are pending and it was
thought best to leave the rate at L.
cents for the time.

sources, and that this money was being
used either in the loan crowd on se tne
company officials acting under his direc-
ton.
One OF the reports Of the day was that
Mr.. Rockefeller had loaned tho large sum
on the stock exchange at 6 per cent. Mr..
Rockefeller when seen refused to say In
just what manner he had acted.
II don't care to 20 into any details he
said. II saw and advised with several
gentlemen In the financial district. have
already said that believed that all that
can be done To help should be done now,
and have acted according TO that belief. y
one manner in which Mr.. Rockefeller
was believed to have assisted very ma
terially was in supplying bonds to ma
tional banks with which they might Sc
cure government deposits. 1t has been
apprehended that the banks TO which
government deposits were offered might
experience considerable difficulty In sup
plying at once bonds to secure such large
deposits as were offered TO them by the
secretary.
1t turned out that the bonds were In
abundant supply and In some cases. i'm all
probability. they were loaned to the banks
by Mr.. Rockefeller.

Mr.. Cortelyou advanced considerable

brokers offered stocks at sacrifices of
from 81, SO. 81 and i'm some cases even IS
share below the prices Immediately pre-
ceding. All hope seemed to have been
abandoned, and around the various posts
the action was nothing less than stam-
pede, in which brokers struggled with one
another to see which could sell stocks at
the lowest prices.
One broker, an old. experienced and re-
sponsible member of the exchange, offer
ing 1O.000-share lots OF Union Pacific at
prices but a little above par, called on
other brokers to witness that these offer
ings represented enforced sales and that
he, like the others, was selling because
OF necessity and not as bear traders.
Particularly spectacular were the drops
OF five points in Reading TO 70la and In
Union Pacific of six points to 1001z. The
shares of the United States Steel corpor-
alton alone offered strong resistance to
pressure. Buying orders In these stocks
were outstanding all day. The common
got down TO %, but no amount OF selling
was able to break II through that price.
The low price for the preferred was S1h.
a loss OF but one-half point In a period
when prices Of other stocks were tumbling
badly.
