APPEAL TO THE GOVERNMENT.
President Friendly But Wants tho
Laws Obeyed.

Washington.-For more than forty
eight hours the White House and
Treasury Department have been
flooded with appeals for President
Roosevelt and Secretary Cortelyou to
take some action to avert the threat
ened disaster in the financial and rail-
road world.
1t can be stated on good authority,
however, that President Roosevelt will
not change his attitude toward the
railroads, though it Is admitted that
the administration has no intention OF
entering on an extremely radical attack
on the railway corporations.
While it is known that the visit OF
]. Pierpont Morgan to the White House
last Monday night to induce the Pres
ident to issue a reassuring statement
to the country in regard to the admin
istration's attitude toward the rail-
roads and the apparent failure OF the
financier's appeal, has had much to do
with the panicky conditions that swept
over Wall street to-day. President
Roosevelt has repeatedly said that he
is not an enemy of the railroads and
that those who obey the laws have
nothing to fear from the government.

 NOn-EfYectiVe.

The fifty cents a day increase in the pay of the city teamsters which was agreed upon between Mayor Studley and committee of six from the Team- sters' union will not go into effect this morning, as arranged at the session last week. A delegation of two from the teamsters called upon Mayor Stud ley yesterday afternoon and in a long session told him that the union had re- fused to accept the agreement.
 The delegates insisted upon a raise of $1 day for both single and double teams. The present rate is $3 for a single team and $5 for a double team. The mayor told the delegates that he could not at the time agree upon any further increase, and the conference closed with affairs in the same status as before last weeks agreement. That agreement was expected to come be- fore the board of finance this week for that body to make some provision for the increase, but this will not occur now. About twenty-two teamsters are in the regular employ of the city at present, and are affected.

COL. CODY SCORES AGAIN
PLEASES THOUSANDS.
All the Lurid Dangers of the Early West Por-
 trayed.

Before two large assemblages of men, woman and children, desirous of seeing scenes from the wild west which long since ceased to be reality, Buffalo Bills big show was given yesterday afternoon and evening near Elm City park. Colonel Cody was there at the head of his Congress of Rough Riders of the World and was greeted with tremendous applause. Later on he gave some exhibitions of shooting in which his fine craftsmanship was shown, in spite of the windy weather.
 There were Mexicans there with their lassos from old Mexico, Japanese from Japan and Indians from Indiana also students from Yale who on the grand stand shouted out comments as the show progressed and watched with fur tive glance the graceful movements of the bandmaster, who had sousa beaten by city block,
 Among the best of the many good acts was the exhibition by the Ara bian acrobats. While one long-haired dervish of that country spun around on his feet for about fifteen minutes, greatly to the delectation of the on- lockers. various other performances were given in other parts of the arena juggling, club swinging, tight-rope walking and Japanese fencing. A par ticularly good feat of strength was that where one Arab held ten others on his arms, sides and shoulders.
 Johnny Baker, known for years all over the country as shooter, gave an exhibition of fine craftsmanship, aim ing at the target from every possible position.
 The hold-ups were graphic and blood curdling. A stage coach, which from it's appearance was the first that ever crossed the American desert, was held up by a band of Indians numbering about thirty One man on the top of the coach held the red men at bay, killing one of them, and maiden, the sole occupant of this antiwar time mode of carriage, did not seem worried over the outcome.
 Then there was fight between the Indians and the pioneers, Pistol shots were fired and the carnage was fear ful. The pioneers, who, contrary to the usual custom, outnumbered the In- fiaas tisrsts to 5Taa, finally won out, the Indians taking their helpless papooses and leaving the field. At the end of the fight Buffalo Bill nobly shot the leader of the Indians.
 The riding on the bucking bronchos and the capture and disposal of Maud, the original mule, delighted the chil- dren, and the riding of one of the young ladies of the company delighted the students who were present. Withal, it was a very satisfactory show.
