Concentration" was the keynote
sounded by President Noyes. II am a
strong believer In concentration" he said.

fort to the accomplishment Of those
things. Let US decide upon one or two
things to do and then go ahead with
determination to accomplish those
things"
Mr.. Noyes said he believed a better

Der OF Congress. Let the members Of

WANTS PRINCE
CHUN TOABDICATE
WI Ting-fang Appeals to
American Minister.
Special Cable to The Washington Herald.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
Pekin, Nov. 15.-The official gazette this
afternoon published a card of thanks
from Yuan Shih Kai to the throne for
the honor conferred in appointing him TO
the premiership. Although this is tanta-
mount to an acceptance of the position,
Yuan Shih Kai has not formally accepted
the post. and there are many rumOrs
afioat that he will not assume the duty.
His card is regarded as merely temporiz-
ing the situation in order that he may
gain more concessions.
WI Ting-fang, the secretary of for
eign affairs in the provisional government,
has wired the American legation here,
asking the acting minister to transmit to
the regent personally demand that
Prince Chun abdicate, and adding that
provision will be made for the throne
The legation has taken no action on the
request
Hankow, the rebels making a desperate
attempt to recapture the city from the
imperialists, who burned most OF 1t last
week. The rebels are reported to be
making good progress. Hunanese troops
are said to be going over to the rebels
with surprising frequency.
All Is reported quiet at Annoy, which
yesterday passed under the control of the
rebels. The republicans in that city have
issued an address to the foreign consuIs
in which the neutrality of the latter is
requested, and assurance is given that
the nationals and their property, includ-
ing the churches, will be protected

APPEAL MADE TO
THE PRESIDENT
Independents Still Fighting
Tobacco Trust Decree.

New York, Nov. lin desperation
the independent tobacco interests have
appealed to President Taft to aid them
in getting the approval by the Circuit
Court of New York of the tobacco
trusts plan OF disintegration and reor-
ganization before the Supreme Court
for review. Up to a late hour tonight
they had received no encouragement to
hope that the President would come to
their relief. They have requested
the President to instruct Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham to appeal the case to
the Supreme Court.
The independents telegraphed the
President at Cincinnati the day before
election for assistance, and his secre-
tary replied that the matter was in the
hands of the Attorney General. A sec
ond and more urgent telegram was sent.
AS no reply was received, the indie
pendents to-day, through their counsel.
Felix H. Levy, filed a petition with the
United States Circuit Court praying to
be made parties to the suit in order
that they will then be entitled to ap-
peal from the courts approval Of the
tobacco trusts plan to Nthe Supreme
Court. 1t is supposed the Circuit Court
will act upon the petition tomorrow
morning. Under instructions from At
torney General Wickersham, United
States District Attorney Wise filed OBJ
jections to the petition OF the Indepen-
dents to be made parties to the suit.

MORMON CHOIR CONCERT.
A Delightful Occasion for Lovers of
Choral Music.

The choir of the Mormon Tabernacle
of SaIt~Lake City gave a concert yes
terday afternoon in the Columbia The
alter before an audience which filled the
theater and showed the greatest appre-
citation of their work. There are 200
fresh young voices of men and women in
the chorus, which came East to appear
at the American Land and Irrigation Ex-
position in Madison Square Garden, New
York City, early this month. Evan
Stephens is conductor; John ]. Mcclellan
is the organist and accompanist, and Ed
ward P. KimbaIl is assistant accompa-
mist The soloists were Willard E.
WeIhe, violinist; Miss Lydia White, harp
list; Horace s. Ensign, Melvin Peterson,
and John Robinson. barytones; Mrs Liz
zie Thomas-Edwards, Miss Edna Evans,
and Mrs. Bessie Browning, sopranos;
Miss Mabel Cooper, contralto; Fred c.
Graham, John, T. Hand, and David
Reese, tenOrs, and Walter Wallace,
basso
The choir sings with beautiful tone and
precision, and rendered an elaborate
programme.
Mr.. welhe, the violinist although he
occasionally sacrifices the beauty OF his
tone to the brillisnce of his technique,
does excellent work. His soft work, his
legato, and his harmonics are exquisite,
and particularly in his encore number did
he delight the audience. The ode which
CLOSED the programme was intensely In
teresting, and the chorus made splendid
effects and a great climax The solo of
Mr.. Ensign from THE Fortune Teller"
by Victor Herbert, was very beautiful In
its effect. The lovers of choral music
who were not present missed a rare
treat.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 15.-Henry Clay

day originally prescribed for his execu-
ton by Judge Watson Of the Chesterfield
Circuit Court.
Gov. Mann to-day declined to either
commute the prisoners sentence to life
Imprisonment or allow him a days re-
spite. In his statement Gov. Mann ex-
presses profound sympathy with the
young mans father, but describes the
crime as cruel and malicious. He says
that the jurors were fair and honest, and
the Supreme Court of the State would
not issue q writ of error.
That Beattie is guilty Of wiIlful, DELHI
crate, and cruel murder of his young
wife have not the slightest doubt" says
the governor, and he adds that the al
legged afndayits of Paul Beattie are not
entitled to consideration. Il believe the
best way" he says, in conclusion. ito

them adequately, certainly, and speedily.
Therefore, the judgment of the Circuit
Court of Chesterfield will be carried into

noon by his father. The guard detailed
for young Beattie was the only person
present save father and son. What took
place will never be known, as rigid in
structions had been issued to the guards
not to say a word.
More than 200 applications for tickets
to witness the electrocution of Beattie
have been received by Maj. James B.

In a statement made public yester-
lay, Lawrence o. Murray, Comptroller
of the Currency, makes a comparative
showing between the cost Of administer
ing the various State banking depart
ments and the expense for national
bank examination in the respective
States. The statement tends to show
that the Federal system of examination
is much less expensive relatively than
is the State system. Mr.. Murray asserts
that the reports show that the cost to
the taxpayers of the various States for
supervising banks operated under State
charters is nearly $2SS,OO0 a year, while
1t costs nothing in the way Of taxes on
the people of a State for the supervision
Of national banks within their borders
The expense of the national system of
examination is paid by the national
banks.

The first lecture of the season in the
members course was held last evening
at the Washington Club. The lecture
hall was filled to its capacity, and those
who attended were well repaid. as Joseph
Lindon Smith, OF Dublin, N. H. not only
showed many interesting photographs of
the great Hindu temple at Ankor- Wat,
in Cambodia. but proved himself a lee
turer with very keen sense Of humor.
His description Of the journey from the
coast to the interior of Cambodia, where
the French are doing 50 much to pre-
vent the further destruction Of these
great temples by tropical growths, was
most amusing. The members of the So
ciety were reminded that II they have
any friends who are interested in the
work of the Washington Society of the
Fine Arts that the council will be very
glad to receive their names.
