George Kirk, the farmer-logger, spent yesterday in the city, having been over to his fine farm, at Solway. Mr. Kirk supervised the killing of a number of his prize hogs, while he was at the farm, and the results were wonderful, the pigs turning in- to the finest pork Mr. Kirk has ever seen. At the Solway farm, Mr. Kirk has made a specialty of raising the large Yorkshire breed of hogs, with very successful results, and he is loud in his praise of “porkers.”” He shipped fifteen hogs to the camps of Blake & Hawkins, near Blackduck, where they will be used for camp food.

New York, Nov. 5.—Relatives and close friends of Walter H. Baker, the wealthy Boston man who died a week ago Saturday night at the home of a friend at Bogota, N. J., a few hours after he had declared in a Broadway chophouse that he had been poisoned, think that he may indeed have been the victim of foul play. hey have heard that scheming persons obtained control of a large part of his fortune, estimated at from $375,000 to $400,000, a few weeks prior to his death and they cannot find a will which Baker Is said to have made two months ago or learn to whom he conveyed his money as reported. That Baker was poisoned is doubted by lawyers in charge of the investigation, but they are having the viscera examined by chemists, who are expected to report in a day or two. Baker’s lawyers can- not account for his whereabouts dur- ing the two hours preceding his ap- pearance at the chophouse, nor can they find out who his companions were. HAS NOT BEEN IN EUROPE Miss Maloney Said to Be in a Philadel- phia Convent. Philadelphia, Nov. 5.—Helen Ma- loney, daughter of Martin Maloney, millionaire and papal marquis, whose alleged elopement with Samuel Clark- son has set two continents talking, is said to be an inmate of Notre Dame convent in this city. She is reported to have been seen in the convent within a few days by an old friend of her father, who knows her well. Further, it is now declared that she has not been in Europe; that she accompanied Clarkson only as far as Montreal and then returned to Philadelphia. These statements are supported by the report that Mrs. Carberry Ritchie, Martin Maloney’s eldest daughter, who went to London with her hus- band, supposedly to search for the missing heiress, has returned and is In the Maloney home. Assassin to Be Electrocuted. New York, Nov. 5.—Bedros Ham- partzoomian, who shot and killed Hov- hanes Tavshanjian, a wealthy Arme- nian merchant, last July, has been sentenced to die in the electric chair ‘| at Sing Sing prison during the week beginning Dec. 16. The murder of Tavshanjian was a result of the mer- chant’s refusal to contribute funds to the Armenian revolutionary cause. Cease Making Cash Payments. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 5—At a meet- ing of the Clearing House association, at which every bank in the city was represented, it was decided to follow other cities of the Northwest in adopt- ing the use of clearing house certifi- cates and ceasing cash payments ex- cept small amounts for emergency. p\lrposes GREW ESCAPED SAFELY. 8teamer City of Blrmmgham Sinks in Boston Harbor. Boston, Nov. 6—The steamer City of Birmingham of the Ocean Steam- ship company struck a ledge in the harbor while bound out to Savannah and sank in ten fathoms of water about two miles below her dock. The crew escaped. The steamer, having made a special trip North with a cargo of cotton, started about 1:30 a. m. for the South. At a slight bend where the channel enters what is known as the middle ground the City of Birmingham hit an obstruction. The boat backed off into deep water, immediately the engine room was flooded and fiftéen minutes- after striking the vessel sank. The crew had no difficulty in getting off in the steamer's boats and rowing the two miles back to the dock. The City of Birmingham lies with the upper deck above water about half a mile from the lower end of Castle island. Arrangements have been begun for raising the steamer. There were no passengers_ 2 Fault of a Woman's Watch. Miss Hiborn—It seems to run very well for about a day and a half, and then it will'not go at all.

Pupil (after ma- ture deliberation)—I think they’re dead by this ume. Fate leads the willing, but drives the stubborn.—[rench Proverb. pery o o A [0 REMEDY SITUATION President Discussing Legislation for Financial Troubles. PROMPT ACTION IMPOSSIBLE 8ome Time Must Elapse Before Con- gress Will Be Able to Select the Most Practicable Method From the Many Solutions Recommended. ‘Washington, Nov. 5.—From an au- thoritative .source it Is learned that the president is consulling with the individual members of his cabinet who have had special experience in large financlal questions respecting the leg- islation to be recommended to con- gress at its approaching session relat- ing to currency reform. Of course, the secretary of the treasury has taken the leading part in these conferences, but it is also true that the president is not declining advice from any other promising quarter and he has spent many hours recently in discussing this important subject. The discussion so far has served to bring about the conviction that it will be didicult to get any beneficial legis- lation of this character through con- gress quickly. That was one of the reasons why the president did not agree With the great interests which recently appealed to him to call an extra session of congress immediately to deal with the finances of the coun- try. Notwithstanding the present great stress to which the existing na- tional bank system, as well as the correlative systems, are being sub- jected by the currency stringency it is feared that some time must elapse before the divers views entertained by many people—bankers, merchants, lawyers and college professors—can be fused into one practicable and ef- fective measure of relief. It was felt that so great was the task that little supstantial gain would be afforded by gathering congress in special session a fortnight before the beginning of the regular session. TO MOVE THE CROPS. Hansbrough = Wires President That Northwest Needs Money. Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 5.—Sen- ator Hansbrough has sent the follow- ing telegram to President Roosevelt: “Fully 150,000,000 bushels of grain are now ready to e marketed in the two Dakotas and Minnesota and there is no money with which to do it. The necessities of the Northwest are, therefore. much greater than in any other section of the country, demand- ing the fullest consideration at the hands of the treasury department. “Ten million dollars placed in Twin Oity banks would raise the embargo and start grain shipments to Europe. This would relieve the financial stress in the East much quicker than a de- posit of treasury funds in New York. “Treasury reliei operations should have been begun here, where the con- gestion is greatest. Our people are not losing their heads. They have no fear of a panic, but in this crop mov- ing season our business men should have special consideration. HIS AFFAIRS ALL RIGHT. Cashier of Huntsville (Ala.) Trust Company Suicides. Huntsville, Ala., Nov. 5—Yielding to the strain under which he has la- bored for the past ten days James R. Boyd, cashier of the Huntsville Bank and Trust company, killed himself at his home here, firing a bullet through his brain. He was dead when his wife reached him. Intimate friends of the dead man say that he labored under high nerv- ous strain for several days and feared that a run would be made on his bank and that there would not be enough money to weather the storm. Boyd's suiclde caused a sensation in financial ciroles, but an examination of his books proved them to be all right. Boyd was president of the Huntsville oity council. CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS Governor Cummins of lowa Favors National Regulation. ‘Washington, Nov., 5.—After an ex- tended conference with President Roosevelt Governor Cummins of Iowa announced himself in favor of federal control of corporations and added that }n was his belief that an amendment to tke federal Constitution would be nec- essary before such control could be exercised. Mr, Cummins said that, in response to questions by the president, he reviewed the financial situation in his section of the country, but de- clined to Indicate whether his report was optimistic or pessimistic. The matters which he called to discuss ‘with the president he also declined to state, More Hopeful Tone Apparent. Washington, Nov, 5.—Nothing new of a disquieting nature regarding the financial situation has reached the treasury department. Communications by telephone with several financial centers show a more settled and hope- ful tone in all sections than at any time during the last two weeks, Ohio National Bank Fails. Leetonia, 0., Nov, 5—The First Na- tional bank here fafled to open its doors. A notice posted on the door states that the concern Will liquidate its liabilities. C. N. Schmick of Cleve- land is president of the bank. OF LITTLE IMPORTANCE. Deposition of Mrs. Chadwick in Pitts. burg Case Opened. Pittsburg, Nov. 5.—The supreme court of Pennsylvania has refused to seal the deposition’ of the late Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, who was an im- portant witness in the suit brought by the Colonial Trust company of this city, administrator of the estate of W. C. Jutte and his wife, against James W. Friend and F. N. Hoftstot, pres- ident and vice president of the Pressed Steel Car company, for an ac- counting of certaln stock transactions amounting to about $1,500,000. Ever since the deposition was se- cured from Mrs, Chadwick, while a prisoner in the Ohio penitentiary at Columbus, it has been the subject of bitter controversy and many sensa- tlonal reports of its contents have been circulated. The belief that start- ling admissions were contained in the deposition gained currency through the efforts of counsel for #loffstot and Friend to have the document sealed as ordered by the lower court. In making the document public Chief Justice Mitchell said: “When this case was on trial the court below, for reasons no doubt sufficlent at the time, ordered a cer- tain deposition to be sealed and we are now asked to continue the rider. ‘We have therefore examined the depo- sition and find it of so little impor- tance as to cause surprise that any question was ever made about it. The appellant’s counsel expressly states that the deposition is not material to any point in his case and it is plain that the opposing counsel in their mo- tion are guided by their clients’ over- sensitiveness rather {han by their own good judgment. The whole mat- ter is so insignificant we see no rea- son to depart from the usual course of practice. The motion to continue the sealing is therefore denied.” The deposition shows Friend at various times loaned Mrs. Chadwick $798,200, accepting promissory notes. ON FINANCIAL SiTUATION. Bteel Trust Officials Confer With the President. Washington, Nov. 5. — President Roosevelt conferred for nearly two hours with Secretary Root, E. H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, and Heary C. Frick, also of that corporation. The only state- | JUDGE E. H. GARY. ment obtainable at the White House was to the effect that the conference dealt solely with the financial situa- tion. It was said that the president contemplated making no direct state- ment at this time. TARIFF WAR IMMINENT. Insists That United States Change Its Attitude. Paris, Nov. 5—The present indica- tiors point to an early inauguration ¢ a tariff war between France and the United States. The negotiations opened last summer for an arrange ment on a hasis giving France the benefit of a 20 per cent reduction in wines in return for preferential rates upon a list of about 100 articles, in- cluding shoes, tools, machinery, ete., have thus far been barren of results and the acticn of the French govern- ment Saturday in virtually promising not to conclude any further commer- | cial arrangements until parliament passes upon the proposed revision of the tariff of 1892 seems to preclude any chance of agreement. It is true that last week, hefore the government made its promise, a reluctant assent was given to an extension of the de- cree granting the minimum rates to Porto Rican cofiee until Dec. 1. While the extension nominally keeps the issue open for another month it is practically certain that nothing will be accomplished unless the United States radically changes its attitude. OBJECT TO PAY IN CHECKS Four Thousand Miners Quit Work in Illinois. Danville, T, Nov. 5—Four thou- sand miners employed in the coal mines at Kellyville, Steelton and West- ville, towns a few miles south of Dan- ville, are practically on strike ‘as a result of the financial trouble. Last Thursday night the miners were noti- fled that on next Thursday, the time for the regular bi-monthly pay day, they would be paid in checks instead of currency, the usual way. Friday only a portion of the men were at work and Saturday the entire 4,000 failed to show up and a mass meeting of the men decided not to go to work until assured that they would be pald in cash. It is sald that the strike will entall serlous results if it is continued for any length of time. It is stated that Danville itself has not more than three days’ coal supply. In addition to this the big plant of the Illinois Steel company at Jollet, Ill,, according to information, would be required to close down within a week if the strike continues that lon; longer. Big Regnetratlan in Phlllpplnel. Manila, Nov. 5,—Registration for the general election is the greatest in the history of the Philippines. It is ex- pected that fully 200,000 voters will go to the polls and cast their votes for governors, members of the provincial boards and municipal officers. The campaign has been very qulet France Mitchell Gradually Improving, La Salle, 111, Nov. 5.—John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of-America, who has undergone .sev- eral surgical operations, is reported to be gradually improving. Physicians at the hospital said that unless unex- pected complications srose the patient is out of danger. Financial Situation Still Tense but Well Under Control, GENERAL ALARM SUBSIDING Considerable Falling Off in the Num- ber of Depositors Demanding Their Companigs Affected by the Scare. New York, Nov, 5.—The Trust Com- pany of America and the Lincoln Trust at 10 a. m. pany of When the Trust Com- America opened thirty-five during the earlier The opening of both brought a distinet feeling of relief, as It was taken as indicating that recent conferences had exerted beneficial effects. The general financial situation was still tense, but the down town banks and trust companies felt confident that conditions were well under con- trol. The raising of the Bank of Eng- land discount rate to ¢ per cent at a special meeting of the board of gov- ernors was not unexpected by those familiar with conditions in Europe, al- that this action of the governors would not be taken until the regular meetihg on Thursday. The fact that $2,000,000 in gold was purchased in the open market in London during the morning for export to America prob- ably hastened the action of the bank. TO PFOTECT GOLD RESERVE Bank of England Again Increases Dis- count Rate. London, Nov. 5—The persistent de- mands from America for gold, in spite of the recently increased discount rate | of the Bank of England and in face of the continued rise in the cable trans- per cent. Although an increase to tilis rate cext Thursday would not have surprised the market the an- occasioned somewhat of a flurry lo- cally. It is considered, however, in financial circles to be the natural out- | come of the unfavorable New York bank statement. Erngland's rate was raised to 5% per cent Oct. 31 it was thought that the situation in the United States was clearing satisfactorily, but the contin- ued engagements of gold at a loss of 2 to 3 per cent on the exchange rates caused a recrudescence of nervousness in the discount market and rates were put up from 5% to 6 per cent in en- deavors to assist the bank to protect its reserve, but the futility of the ef- forts is shown by the fact that since Thursday the United States has drawn daily from the bank substantial sums, already aggregating $5,000,000. Egypt has also commenced withdrawing gold. Financial circles here now incline to the belief that the 6 per cent rate will suffice and that no further advance will be necessary, particularly if the Bank of France renders its promised aid. All depends, however, on the ab- sence of demands of alarming propor- tions from America. MARKET RALLIES LATER. Severe Declines Registered at Open- ing of Stock Exchange. New York, Nov. 5.—Severe declines ‘were registered in the first prices of immediate rally. The trading was conducted with considerable disorder and quotations in some stocks were wide apart. Losses quite generally ranged between 1 and 2 points. Cana- dian Pacific was down 33 and the Hill stocks, Southern Pacific, Reading, Anaconda and American Smelting 2 to 2%. The Hill and Harriman stocks, Ca- nadian Pacific, Reading and New York Central rallied 1 to 1% in the course of the first half hour. The feverish tone went out of the market and con* ditions became more tranquil at the recovery. Dealings fell to nominal proportions. The market developed some degree of positive strength when the limited scope of the liquidation was clearly perceived. New York Central’s 2%4- point rise gave tone to the rest of the market. The opening losses were gen- erally recovered. The buying was on a limited scale, but the higher level of prices was well held. Prices continued to advance and substantial gains were registered. In spite of the high rate for call loans some stocks loaned at a flat rate or at a small premium. This was caused by the urgent demand from uncovered shorts to borrow stocks for delivery. Advances of leading stocks were 1 to 3% points, the latter St, Paul, Owing to Money Stringency. Aurora, Ind.,, Nov. 5—Owing to the money stringency the Aurora National bank failed to open its doors. The bank was organized in 1883 with a capital stock of $50,000 and its depos- its aggregated $165,000. No statement has been made of the liabilities. Earthquakes in Missouri. Cape Girardeau, Mo., Nov. 5—Two distinct earthquake shocks were felt here. The first shock lasted from six to ten seconds and the second from two to three seconds. Both passed from the southeast to the northwest. Further Importations of Gold. New York, Nov, 5.—Engagements of foreign gold for the United States al- ready have reached above the $30, 000,000 mark, The Seaboard National bank announced that it had procured $350,000 of the metal. Heidelbach, Ickelheimer & Co. also announced the engagement of $1,000,000 in gold and Lazard Freres engaged an additional $1,250,000 for import.
