Secretary Hay and Secretary Gage came almost upon his heels and saw the Presi- .| dent for a few minutes in the Cabinet room. The doors of the White House were closed to the public, but admission, of course, was accorded to those who de- sired to see the President personally, and within an hour a score of men prominent in public life had called to pay thelr re- spects and to extend their good wishes for a successful administration. Among_them were Senators Scott and Elkins of West Virginia, Senators Pritch- ard of North Carolina, Millard of Ne- braska and Burton of Kansas, and Repre- sentatives Heatwole, McCleary and Stephens of Minnesota, Gibson of Ten- nessee, Livingstone of Georgia and Day- ton of West Virginia. All were delighted with the reception accorded them. Sen- ators Elkins and Scott congratulated the President upon the decision he had made Wwhen he took the oath of office. ““That simple declaration,” said Senator Scott, “immediately restored confidence in the business world.” Indorses McKinley’s Policy. To the Minnesota Representatives the President recalled the fact that it was in their State he had made his last public utterances as Vice President, and that in that ‘“‘confession of faith,” as he charac- terized it, he committed himself to the goucy of McKinley, to which he pledged is adherénce upon assuming the respon- sibilities of his office at,Buffalo, Representative Livingstone of Georgia was especially pleased with his reception. The Georgia epresentative had con- grotulated the President, had expressed the hope that his administration would be a success, and had informed him that as a Southern man and a Georgian he would contribute everything in his power to that end. The President replied that it would be his aim to be the President of the whole people, without regard to geograph- ica. lines or class distinction; that it was the welfare of all which he should seek to_promote.

Assurance From the South. “The South will support you most heart- ily,”” Senator Pritchard had said, speak- ing for all three of the Southern men. The Democratic newspapers are predict- ing for you success, and the feeling of all the people for you, irrespective of party, is most kindly.” “I am going to be President of the United States, and not any section,” re- plied the President. “I don't care for sections or sectional lines. When I was Governor of New York I was told I could make four apvointments in the army. When I sent in the names there were three from the South and the other from New York. They were brave men, who deserved recognition for services in the Spanish war, and it did not matter what States they were from.” The President talked in the same vein with Senator Money of Mississippi when the latter called. Senor Quesada and Gen- eral Nunez, Governor of Havana Province, both members of the Cuban Constitutional Convention, called to pay their respects. They talked briefly wrtn the President about Cuban affairs. General Leonard ‘Wood, Governor General of Cuba, was present during this interview. The President returned to, the White House about 3 o'clock, but saw no callers during the hour he rémained here. At 4 o'clock he went out for a horseback ride with General Wood. Secretary Cortelyou to-day was busily engaged in collecting the papers of the late President, and Mrs. McKinley's maid was in the private apartments of the ‘White House packing the personal effects of her mistress. All the personal prop- erty of the late President and Mrs. Mc- Kinley will be removed from the White House early next week, and upon the re- turn of Mrs. Roosevelt from Oyster Bay next Wednesday the President and his family will take up their abode in the Ex- ecutive Mansion. o+ & CALL ATLASES WILL SOON BB READY FOR ALL Another carload of Call Premium Atlases left Chicago Thursday, September 12.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—Willilam Nel- son Cromwell, counsel for the reor- ganization committee of the Seventh Na- tional Bank of New York, accompanied by E. K. Stallo and Forest Rayner, re- ceiver of that bank, called at the office of Comptroller Dawes to-day and submitted to the Comptroller a plan for the read- justment of the affairs of the bank, under authority of which the depositors will be paid in full, with interest, as quickly as the legal requirements can be complied with, which will be but a few weeks. One million seven hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars in cash has been sub- scribed, over $1,500,000 of which has al- ready been paid into the hands of the committee. e The reorganization committee has pre- sented two alternative plans for reorgani- zation, both of which have been approved by the Comptroller. The decision as to the one which shall be followed will be determined by the committee within the next week. One Elan provides for the re- organization of the present bank under a new name with an increased capital of not less than $1,500,000. The other plan provides for the practical accomplishment of the same end through the organization of a new bank, which will ;urchase, with the approval of the United States court, the assets of the Seventh National Bank at a figure which will enable it to pay its liabilities in full. In order to carry out the first plan, which is the one preferred by the com- mittee, one or two minor adjustments now in progress with stockholders will have to be made before it can be effective, but the second plan has been agreed to if such adjustments are not made, in order to r!nafi(e certain the payment of depositors in _full. 1 The Comptroiler expresses his apprecia- tion of the successful endevors of Mr. Cromwell and the others connected with the reorganization of the bank. The bank, it is stated, when reorganized under either of these plans will have on deposit when it opens its doors a sufficient amount in cash to pay all Gepositors and other cred- itors in full and leave an unimpaired cap- ital of upward of $1,500,000. Convicted Captain Wants Release. LEAVENWORTH, Kans., Sept. 2L.—An ‘ application for a writ of habeas corpus will be filed in the United States Disrict Court this afternoon for the release of Peter C. Deming, late captain of volun- teers, from the Federal prison. He was sentenced by a court-martial to five years for defrauding the Government. =The Judge reserved his decision. Al iy GREAT FOREST FIRE SWEEPS ON A TOWN DENVER, Sept. 21.—A special to the News from Battle Lake, Wyo., a mining town, says forest fires are raging inside the city limits and that at least a part of the town is doomed. Every man, woman and child still in the place is fighting the fire, though hundreds have fled to the hills for safety. One mining shaft house has already burned with a number of smaller buildings. The fire is five miles wide and is being driven by a wind blow- ing at forty miles an hour. Former “Corn King’s” Corporation. CHICAGO, Sept. 21.—The George H. Phillips Company, with $500,000 capital, 20 per cent pald up, was formed here to-day with the former “Corn King” as presi- dent. The plan to form a company of the creditors of the old company was recent- ly abandoned. Phillips owns twenty-five per cent of the stock of the new com- pany. He will draw a salary as president and manager of the new concern and stated to-day that whatever dividend his stock paid him would be applied on the debts of the defunct company. MEN INJURED N EXPLOSION Ferry-Boat Blows Up on the Little Kanawha * River. PARKERSBURG, W. Va, Sept. 21.—A gasoline ferry-boat running between Elizabeth and Palestine, on the Little Kanawha River, blew up to-day. The explosion occurred just after the boat was loaded with passengers from the morning train at Palestine. The latest re- ort from there states that nobody was lled, but the following were seriously and perhaps fatally injured: Captain Webb ‘of Parkersbu: Hg,HA. F. Woodyard, Harvey Thorn and . Hopkins, all of Paiestine. ‘The other passengers jumped into the river and escaped with only slight in- juries. The boat was the A. C. Barne and was propelled by gasoline, 'hlcx escaped and ignited, causing the ex- losion. The boat was destroyed. Every- dy has not yet been accounted for, and it is feared that there may have been some passengers drowned. _— LOOK FOR OUR ...SPECIAL SALE.
