ST. LOUIS Tim
■POSTPONED
ONE TEJID
IT IS SETTLED THAT PURCHASE
EXPOSITION WILL NOT BE
HELD UNTIL 1904.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 17.—The Louisiana
Purchase exposition, which was to have
been held. at St. Louis in 1903. will not
take place until ISM.
This fact was practically conceded by
Ex-Governor Francis, president of the ex
position company, and Adolph Busch, the
financial agent of the company, at the
white house today. Since arriving here
and conferring with the foreign represent
atives, Governor Francis and Mr. Busch
have come to the conclusion that unless
the exposition Is postponed for a year, the
exposition will not be able to secure the
elaborate foreign exhibits which are de
sired. They find, for Instance, that a
great Japanese fair is to be given under
government auspices in 1963. and if the
exposition is postponed until 1904 every
thing of Interest exhibited there can be
brought to St. Louis the tvilowing year.
It is the desire of the exposition man
agement that the foreign exhibits espe
cially shall be very complete.
“In 1963 we can make the exposition as
great as any ever given.” said Governor
Francis, “but if we postpone it a year it
will surpass anything in the exposition
line ever attempted. We can be ready
in 1963. but it is questionable whether we
can secure what we want from abroad by
that time.”
in order to interest foreign govern
ments. it is the desire of the exposition
management that the foreign agents of
the exposition be appointed and accred
ited by the state department, steps
are being taken to that end now. Yester
day Governor Francis and Mr. Busch ex
tended an invitation, through the German
embassy, to Prince Henry to visit St.
Louis dfiring his stay in this country, but
no reply had been received up to noon to
day. . /

ALBANY BANK SUSPENDS
AFTER RUN OF A MONTH
ALBANY, Ga., Jan. 17.—The Commer
cial bank of Albany did not open for bus
iness this morning and a notice posted on
the door stated the bank had suspended
payment pending action by proper author
ities.
A quiet run had been going on far one
month past and the bank was yesterday
unable to meet its checks in the clear
ing house.
The bank's capital was 379,000. reduced
from 3100,000, ard notice had been given
that it would be converted into a national
bank.
The liabilities are bills payable, 365,000;
deposits. 166,117.10. Assets are estimated at
3170,000 in bills receivable and 321.000 in real
estate. '/
It seems certain that depositors will be
fully paid
The directors have applied to Judge
Spence to have Morris Weelosky appointed
temporary receiver pending action of the
state authorities.
The bank was organized in 1888. The
bank's officers are: T. M* Carter, presi
dent; S. G. Turner, cashier, and T. M.
Carter. R. E. Carter. M. Weslosky, John
Mpck. H. N. Parker. W. W. Pace. T. Jf.
Woolfolk. 8. G. Turner, directors. (
While the failure of the Commercial
bank has created considerable excitement
here, there is a general feeling that the
depositors will be paid dollar for dollar.
The honesty and integrity of the officers
of the bank are not questioned, and this
has done a great deal to ease the situa
tion.

FIVE MEN FORMED A CONSPIRACY,
IT IS SAID, AND SECURED HIS
CONVICTION—THEY WILL
BE PROSECUTED.
JACKSON. Miss Jan. 16.—Jim Benson,
a well known white man of Mississippi and
an old Confederate soldier, who was in
dicted, convicted, sentenced, and put In
the penitentiary, for a few hours but
shortly released on bail, upon the charge
of robbing the chancery clerk's office of
Franklin county. Is about to be cleared,
after having worn the stripes of the con
vict.
It seems that Benson was indicted and
convicted on purely circumstantial evi
dence. is not guilty at all, but that the
men who appeared in court against him, a
ring of five men who swore the same
thing, are the real guilty parties and that
they are now going to be brought to
justice.
The supreme court this afternoon re
versed and remanded the case and it now
appears as If Benson who is an old man
and who is just the victim of this gang,
is going to get justice, and the true rob
bers brought to justice.

PERE MARGUETTE STEAMER NO.

FACE OF A FEARFUL
GALE.
LUDINGTON, Mich.. Jan. 17.—The Pere
Marquette Railroad company steamer No.
3 struck the bar at the mouth of the har
bor early today while attempting to enter
in a high southwest gale and was scut
tled In nine feet of water.
The nine passengers and the crew of
thirty-five men were taken off the wreck
ed craft by the life saving crew with their
breeches buoy apparatus.
The accident occurred before day light.
Passengers and crew were rudely awak
ened by the succession of shocks as the
steamer pounded on the bar.
Signals of distress were immediately
blown and the life saving crew quickly
responded. Running tneir mortar out on
the pier the life savers .sent a line to the
wreck. When day - Broke there was a line
200 feet long stretched from the pier to
the No. 3 and the breeches buoy appa
ratus was ready for use. Over this line
nine passengers, four of whom were wo
men. and the ctew of 30 were safely tak
en in the breeches buoy in two hours. As
the people were drawn along the rope
the great waves broke over them and all
were drenched. The boat was loaded with
25,000 bushels of barley and 200 tons of
merchandise.
The Pere Marquette officials have hopes
of saving No. 3 and her cargo, but there
is great danger that the boat will go to
pieces.

APPOINTMENT
OF MOES .
ATLANTA BANKER SEES PRESI-
DENT ROOSEVELT IN THE IN
TEREST OF WHITE MEN
FOR OFFICES.
-
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—Colonel Rob
ert J. Lowry, banker, noted host and so
cial prince in Georgia, is assuming a new
and altogether interesting role in Wash
ington.
He Is on the bridge of the Georgia Re
publican ship just now and is directing,
to a great extent, the journey of that
vessel through the narrows of office seek
ing.
He dined with the president some time
ago and Incidentally discussed the pres
ent force of government office holders in
Georgia. Now he is here with a list of
new men whom he thinks are good for
the president to appoint to the jobs.
Colonel Lowry Is urging the appoint
ment of M. O. Markham, of Atlanta, to
the office of surveyor of customs for At
lanta, a place now held by C. C. Wim
bish. The application of Mr. Markham
is on file in the treasury department and
Colonel Lowry has been there to look af
ter the interests of the applicant.
He has made a fight for the removal of
Collector Devaux. at the port of Savan
nah. and it is believed in official circles
that he will not only succeed in ousting
Devaux. but can have the pleasure of
naming the successor. -
It is said that he has talked with the
president concerning the appointment of
Pink Morton to the postmastership of
Athens. It is significant that Colonel Low
ry called at the white house on the day
that Morion’s name was placed on the
list for senate confirmation and then sud
denly withdrawn by the president.
In view of these facta it is recognized
here that President Rooeevelt is carrying
into Georgia his policy of instituting a
new brand of Republicanism throughout
the south and that Colcnel Lowry is spon
sor for the state's new brand. This es
tablished, it goes without saying that ne
gro office holding tn Georgia will soon bp
a thing of the past.
Whether, the nation's executive will
agree to this will be indicated by the ac
tion taken on sonic of the applications
which Lowry is now urging.
While it is given out that the Atlanta
banker is here for the purpose of looking
after the interests of the bill in congress
to pay the Markham estate for property
destroyed by Sherman during the civil
war, it is well known that he Is decidedly
more active in the political branch of his
mission at this particular time.

FOR MRS. ROOSEVELT
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—The strenuous
social life at the white house has been
modified at the command of Dr. Rixey.
On his earnest advice Mrs. Roosevelt has
eliminated for the present the semi-week
ly receptions and teas. No change has
been made as to the official functions,
which will continue to be numerous. Mrs.
Roosevelt is beginning to show the ef
fects of the great strain she has been
under. But for tfie trip down the river
just before New Year’s her strength pro
bably would have given way.
The clerical force at the white house
Is also fagged, the result of working ev
ery night until 1 to 2 o'clock. Secretary
Cortelyou often remains at his desk as
late. The president has urged him to
enlarge the clerical force, but there is no
room, the desks now being jammed to
gether. Three of the assistants are now
ill from overwork and Mrs. Roosevelt
has sent for Dr. Rixey to attend them all.
All the semi-public functions are an
nounced in handwritten notes. This, with
the preparation of thousands of invita
tions, is a crushing task.
GOOD ROADS PEOPLE |

COLUMBUS. Ga.. Jan. 16.—The Good

of the Willcox funeral and several trains

tion adjourned until 2 o'clock this after
noon. There is quite a crowd of visit
ors in the city and many of them have
been out looking at the work being done
and taking in the sights about town. The
convention will be a great success in every
way.
NEW YORK CENTRAL TO
SOON REMEDY ITS TUNNEL
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—A plan for bet-'
tering conditions of the Park Avenue tun
nel has been decided on by President New
man of the New York Central railroad
and his associates, but no announcement
of its details will be made for two or
three oays.
More than 200 engineers, mechanics, elec
tricians and . cranks have besieged the of
fice of President Newman since the publi
cation of the offer of 3500,000. which Sen
ator Chauncey M. Depew said the com
pany would willingly pay to anybody who
could satisfactorily demonstrate that
traffic in the tunnel could be hauled by
some other power than steam.
President Newman knew nothing about
the $500,000 offered until he read of it in the
newspapers. It was made nearly ten
years ago. when Senator Depew was pres
ident of the company and has never been
withdrawn.

TALKS Os MARKETS
SALE OF 125,000 TONS OF BESSE-
MER PIG IRON FEATURE
OF THE WEEK.
1- *
CLEVELAND, 0., Jan. 16.—The Iron
Trade Review this week will say:
Sales of 125,000 tonz of Bessemer pig iron
for delivery largely in. the present quar
ter of the year are the feature of the
week. The biilk of this iron was taken by
the United States ateel corporation at
315.75 at Valley Furnace, or $16.50, Pitts
burg. Other steel makers were also In the
market, paying in some Instances sl6 at
the furnace and on smaller lots as high
as $16.25 has been paid. The United States
Steel corporation took all the iron offered
by the Associated Bessemer furnaces for
the second quarter and other purchases
were made from outside interests. The sit
uation in respect to this metal is thus
very firm, with every indication of higher
prices.
The cutting of production due to the
coke shortage has compelled
and these are expected to Increase tn the
next few month*.
A large amount of German Bessemer
iron has been sold for thl« country and
among recent sales in England was one
of 7,000 tons of a West Coast Bessemer
for delivery in the United States. A recent
round sale of German spiegeleisen for ex
port to the United States Indicates that
our steel makers have not been able to
supply their wants from such of their fur
naces as ordinarily run on splegel. The
import movement‘in pig iron is apparent
In the November statistics of the treas
ury department, which, reported 13.953 tons
brought in that month, against 2,337
tons in November, 1900.
The importation of steel is also expect
ed to grow steadily in the coming months.
Independent sheet, wire and tube mills
will bo compelled to seek foreign markets
in view of the announced inability of steel
corporation plants to furnish steel In the
next six months except to customers hav
ing long time contracts.
It is understood that the small importa
tion of German steel for central and west
ern plants a few weeks ago would be fol
lowed by the bringing in of large lots
from the same source. Apart from the
sales of Bessemer iron noted above, the
Important development of the week is
the improved movement of coke to the
furnaces.

FORT SMITH. Ark., Jan. 16.—The
southbound Kansas City southern pas
senger train was held up last night at 11
o'clock, half a mile north of Spiro, I. T.,
by seven masked men.
The express and mail cars were entered.
The local safe in the express car was
opened, but nothing secured fron> it.
The robbers tried to open the through
safe,' but failed.'
Then they rifled the mall car and, it is
said, secured a quantity of registered
mail. •
The scene of the robbery is 15 miles from
Fort Smith. , .
A report today from there says United
States marshals are scouring the coun
try in search of the robbers. •
Three susjects, miners, have been ar
rested and taken to Poteau, I. T.
Railroad and express officials decline
to state how much booty was secured.
It is stated, however, that the robbers
got away with $2,000.
Spiro is a small station near the Ar
kansas river, in Indian Territory. It is
a desolate place in the timber, which af
fords good cover for a robbery and which
will undoubtedly aid the robbers In escap
ing. Poteau, the second station south of
Spelro, was the scene of a train hold-up
on a previous occasion. ,

VISIT ATLANTA IN
FEBW
TRIP OF PRINCE HENRY WILL
MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR
PLAN ARRANGED TO
BE CARRIED OUT. ,
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 17.-Prlnce
Henry, of Prussia, brother to Kaiser Wil
liam of Germany, has cut Atlanta out of
a visit by President Roosevelt.
The president yesterday, expressed a
wish that, he might journey from the
Charleston exposition, which he visits
February 11, to Atlanta and thence to
Roswell, where he has relatives.
According to this wish, plans were made
for the continuation of the Charleston
trip. Under these plans the special train
bearing the president, his family, mem
bers of the cabinet and their families, was
to leave Washington Tuesday, February
11 and arrive in Charleston the following
morning. After a' day at the exposition
the president was to go gunning for deer
on a game preserve at Summerville, re
turning to Washington on his special by
way of Atlanta and Roswell, where the
president wanted to spend a day at least.
But these plans were upset, and the
mention of Prince Henryk name did It.
At a cabinet meeting today, along with
other important affairs considered, it was
announced, it is said, 'that the prince
Would reach America several days sooner
than at first expected.
As the president must be in Washing
ton at the time final preparations are
made for the reception of the royal per
sonage, it was decided to abandon the
original plans for his southern trip and
to approve instead plans for a hasty trip
to Charleston and an immediate return
to Washington after a day’s visit there..
The president concurred in the new
plans, after expressing refcrets that he
could not see his Georgia relations on this
trip. He will make a visit to Roswell
later, it is understood, probably in the
autumn.
A delegation of Atlanta negroes is ex
pected here today with an invitation for
the president to visit a Christian congress
in Atlanta in February. The president
will probably receive the delegation to
morrow, but he will be -compelled to de
cline the invitation for the reasons above
stated.

PENSACOLA, Fla., Jan. 16—George W.
Adams, a young white married gentle
man, of Pensacola, was this morning car
ried under heavy guard to the Asylum
for the Insane at Chattahoochee, having
been adjudged insane yesterday.
Adams' case is a deplorable one. He
was a plumber and had a nice home, but
ten days ago he and his wife separated;
the separation preyed upon his mind, but
he continued at his daily duties until
Tuesday night, when his reason left him
suddenly and he jumped from the second
floor of his boarding place to the ground,
about! 20 feet.
He did not appear to hurt himself. He
had retired but 15 minutes previously and
he came through the window clad only
in his night clothes.
After he struck the ground he con
tinued to ryin down the street until inter
cepted by Policeman Humphreys, when
with combined effort of six men, he was
finally jailed. He raved terrible all of yes
terday. never for a moment being silent.
He would tear away his clothes and the
only way he could be mads to desist was
to promise to let him see his little son,
from whom he had been separated.
