PROCEEDINGS OF THE MEETING. ae Three Trustees Appointed Conduct the Business. to Senator William Sprague Retires fromthe Concern. PROVIDENCE, R, I., Nov. 1, 1873. After a protracted suspense the public are Anally enlightened upon the embarrassments and finan- cial condition of the Spragues, In round numbers their assets are set down at $19,495,247 and their liabilities at $11,475,443, leaving a balance of assets of $8,019,804, This statement is the result of a three days’ investigation of the affairs by a com- mittee appointed by the representatives of the various banks, the details of which are appended. | The reading of the results of the committee's ex- amination man open public meeting this after- noon afforded a great relief to the commercial com- munity hereabouts, but there is still great anxiety as to what action will be taken by the majority of the multitude of creditors—thousands in number, it is said, THE COMMITTEE RECOMMEND, in brief, that the Sprague Manutacturing Company, and the individuals comprising the corporation, mortgage all their property to three trustees, who Shali practically have all control and management ofit, and that these trustees shall issue notes to an amount which shall fully cover the amount of personal indebtedness, these obligations having three years to run, and drawing semt-annual in- terest at the rate of seven and three-tentha per cent per annum, with the reserved right to pay five per cent of the debt as often as in their judgment shall be practicable. In expressing their belief that the creditors will accept these evidences of indebtedness they assert that ifthe trustees have the full authority asked for they will be able to avert &@ great calamity to thousands of operatives, make the mill*properties valuable, prevent an immense further shrinkage of values and pay in fuil the in- debtedness o! the A. & W. Sprague Manufacturing Company, together with that of all its depending establisiments, This is the cheerful view of atfairs, and a prophecy which tke public would be glad to see fulfilled, The Spragues themseives have de- clined to make any pumiic statement whatever concerning their prospects and affairs, and their reticence and silence in this particular has been rather severely, and, perhaps, unjustly commented upon in some quarters. A HERALD reporter has called to see the brother, Amasa Sprague, on several occasions, but he has not only invariably declined to talk upon the mat- ter in which the public felt such a lively interest, but he has uniformly refused to have any inter- view whatever except through the medium of one of his secretaries, é MR. THURSTON'S EXPLANATION, Hon. B. F. Thurston, the senior counsel for the corporation, at the meeting this afternoon made the only statement that has yet been made in be- hatf of the firm. Neither of the Spragues were present, and the only member of the family who appeared was Mayor Doyle, a brother-in-law. After the report of the bank committee had been read, Mr, Thurston made the following remarks :— Mr. Chairman, I suppose that when a report is made to these gentlemen who comprise represent- atives of all the banking interests in the city, the duty of the committee is at an end, and the duty of this meeting is at an end. I will, however, on behalf of the A. & W. Sprague Manufacturing Company, state that they are in full accord with the committee who have made this recommenda- tion, and propose to adopt in full, and have adopted in full, the recommendations of the com- mittee. Senator Sprague had retired by his volun- tary consent from the presidency of the com- pany, and Amasa Sprague has been desig- pated to fill the place. A mortgage deed has been prepared for the purpose of securing all the property and assets, private and corporate, for the benefit of the creditors of the company, agrecabie to the principles suggested in the report. A meet- ing of the creditors will be called at an early day, and it 18 hoped that they will see that the plan which has been proposed and the execution of it is the best posstble thing that, under the circum- stances, can be done for their interests, It is in their power to accept or reject it, But the alterna- tive of rejection will be throwing the property into bankruptcy, and its sacrifice, as a necessary conse- quence, or at least the imperilling of the value of the obligations of the company which are held by these creditors, The trustees are Rufus Water- man, ex-Governor James Y. Smith and the present Governor of the State, Henry Howard. The PresipeNT—You hear the remarks of the counsel for the company; what further course will you take? Is there any action called for? Mr. THuRSTON—I should be very glad in case the statement made by the committee and the accom- panying recommendations strike the meeting with approval, if the committee will express that approval, inasmuch as the expression of this intelli- gent body of gentlemen, representing, as they do, a very large amount of this indebtedness, cannot fail to have a very important influence upon the creditors’ meeting hereafter to be convened, whose special duty it will be to consider whether they will accept the instrument which has been pre- pared, or take the ALTERNATIVE OF PROCEEDING IN BANKRUPTCY. The Presipent—It seems to me that an ex- pression of thanks to this committee, who have bestowed so much labor and care upon this mat- ter ought certainly to be presented. Mr, TuvRsToN—I wish to say that the committee, in performing this labor, availed themapives of the excellent services of Mr. Jolin B. Anthony, of the Providence Tool Company, who himselit devoted his time and attention to the verification of the statements, and the anatysis and investigation of the accounts. I mention this circumstance in order that it may add its due weight, with a refer- ence to assuring you of the thorough manner in | which the analysis has been performed. The PrestpENT—I should judge that the commit- tee had had all the facilities exiended to them by the parties in interest which those patties were able to give: Jawes F. Suita (from the committee)—Every facility was proffered; the books were opened and everything done that could be done to facilitate our labors. The PrestpENt.—It is clear that tnis meeting ought to express some feeling of satisfaction in reference to the manner in which the labors of the committee and those who have so cor+ dially co-operated with them have been performed. I merely make that suggestion; but the suggestion of Mr. Thurston goes astep further—viz., that the meeting should ex- press satisfaction with the recommendations pro- posed by the committee. It would, as he says, add a good deal to the weight of the report, and, no doubt, have an effect in bringing about the result which the report looks to. A RESOLUTION OF THANKS PASSED. JaMES 8, PHatrerLacr—I move that the thanks of this meeting be voted to this committee, and also to Mr, John B, Anthony, for their services in preparing this report. ‘ This motion, after some suggestions, was put into the following form and passed :— Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting be given to the committee, and to John b. Anthony, Who bas co-operated with them, for the cleat and succinct statement of the affairs of the A. & W. Sprague Manufacturing Company which is em- bodied in their report. Amos D, Suyrn moved thal any expense to Whigh the committee had subjected themselves im the employment of counsel, as authorized by the rea Jution under which they were appointed, or other~ ] wise, should be assessed upon the different banks in the usual manner, and paid through the Clesr- ing House. Jamas Y. SuiTu stated that the committee em- ployed Bir. Clailes S, Bradley as counsel, and had from him 4 written opinion, which it was unneces- sary to read, as it coincided entirely with the con- clusions to which the committee had arrived. The motion of A. D. Smith was then passed, the Chairman stating that it would be used if neces- sary, as the matter would doubticss be disposed of in the usual way. THE TIME FOR IMPARTIAL EXPRESSION, Amos C0. Barstow—I nave been absent for some time and am not well acquainted with the condi- tion of their affairs, It seems to me that gen- tlemen who are present, who are cognizant of then, ifthey approve and endorse the recommend- ations which have been made, should make some expression of this approval, or if there is decided | objection on the part of any oue here it should be stated. If the committee can be sustained by the judgment of those who have given the most at- tention to the other matter, it will have great | weight with all parties concerned, Mr, THURSTON—As I belore suggested, I think that some action of that kind would be of immense | value, from the effect it would necessarily have on the large body of creditors scattered throughout the country; but since making this snggestion it has occurred to me that perhaps all the facta are not at this moment before the meeting, so that they could act upon the question with that degree | of intelligence which I confidently expect will be employed when they come to ascertdin the full condition of the case, THE TRUST DRED to which I referred is necessarily at this moment in a condition in which it cannot be presented for inspection. The creditors of the company will see | when they come to inspect that instrument that there is a perfect, absolute and complete control on the part of these gentlemen acting 1 the inter- | est of the creditors of this vast property, so that while on the one hand the company, which has met withimmense disaster, # not to be over- whelmed jn this the nour of its adversfty with un- merited result, atthe same time the property of this company is to be preserved in such a way that the creditors shall see that by no bad manage- ment, by no possibility of bad counsel, except such as may come from the creditors themselves through their counsel, can this property be sub- verted to sacrifice. ‘ SENATOR SPRAGUE RESIGNED. < Ihave already stated that this morning Senator Sprague resigned the presidency of the company, and I am authorized by a communication from him to state that he does this act because he thinks that the presidency of the company, in the jaagment of the creditors, would be an obstacie to the full accomplishment of the best interests | of the creditors in their relations to this company. He, therefore, takes himself away in order that there may be no obstacies.. The vacancy was tem- porarily supplied by the appointment of Colonel Amasa Sprague, the bext most nearly representing the company. That is not necessarily a permanent arrangement, I state on behalf of the corporation, in connection with Mr. Hart, who ts fully advised of the feelings of the managers of the corporation, that | there will be the fullest and most hearty co-opera- | tion on the part of the corporation with the creditors, through their trustees, in their manage- ment of this property, so that the outside depend- encies, those excrescences, or rather those para- sites, which have fed upon the central tree shall be cut off and leave intact that manufacturing prop- erty which for so many years has been the glory and pride of the State. I nope the creditors will rise above the petty and malignant feeling which, though it may be entertained by some individuals, is not entertained by any great body of the people, they believing that the liquidation of their claims will be best secured by the preservation of the | house itself, THE APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES. GrorGe W. Burrs—Are the Trustees permanently elected? Mr. TuvRstox—It would be impossibie for any general popular election on the part of the cred- itors to be made, inasmuch as I found that there were almostas many candidates for trusteeships ag there were creditors—I do not mean literaliy, of course—and there would be necessarily a diffi. culty in selecting from the popular voice of the creditors. In view of the manifold diMiculties which surround such a question, inasmuch as per- sonal preference and personal interest enter so largely into the mattter, the act ofthe appointing | of the trustees is necessarily the act of the cor- poration. They convey their property to whom they select, they have named already the gentlemen designated, who have been selected after conference with as many of the creditors representing large interests as, under the circum. stances, was possible, and representing, as far as it was possible to do, the feelings and desires of the great body of the creditors who were accessi- ble. Itis the act of the corporation. Now, then, it is doubtless entirely in the power of creditors to | reject the whole thing and to take proceedings in bankruptcy when the time shall have arrived | When such proceedings can be commenced. The PresipENt—It strikes me that it, is compe- tent for the creditors, after this deed is executed, if at any time hereafter they should be dissatisfied for reasonable cause, to make application to the Court and have the board of trustees changed or | substitutions made, Mr. THURSTON—For any misconduct on the part or trustees there is alwaysa remedy before the | Courts. The PRESIDENT—I don't think there could have been a more satisfactory selection. Amos D. SMITH—I would say, in regard to the trustees, that [think that parties seeking to find men whom they would have had entire confidence in could not have made a more satisfactory selec- tion. 1 would express that as my personal opinion, and I think there would be no adverse view upon | that subject. Mr. THURSTON—I would say that all opposing in- terests, prejudices and feelings were sought to be consulted, compromised and harmonized. The PRESIDENT—Is that satisfactory to you, Mr. Barstow? Mr. barstow—It is, Mr. Thurston—Extra copies of the deed will be prepared for distribution at an early moment, so that the creditors will see how carefully its pro- visions have been drawn. The deed of trust which is being prepared was not finished at a late hour to-night, and it 1s proba- bie it will not be perfected until Monday morning. The trustees selected to receive the property are Messrs. Henry Howard, Rufus Waterman and James Y. Smith, FRIENDS AND ENEMIES. Mr. Thurston, the counsel for the corporation, in an interview with your correspondent this morning, said that the instrument required the | greatest care in preparation, and when it was submitted he had no doubt but it would be ac- ceptable tothe majority of the creditors. There exists one class of creditors, he said, who are dis- posed to grant every facility to the embarrassed parties and extend them all the time and favors possible, having full confidence in the concern, and desiring the vast property to remain under its present Management. There ts another class who are fearful that the corporation will never revive, and who will be dissatisfied with the trustees appointed, and will do all in their power to create dissensions, There is still another class, so‘Mr. Thurston thinks, Who were surprised, possibly grieved, at the favorable aspect of affairs as shown by the Com- mittee of Investigation; but these he thinks are very few in numbers THE DERDS OF TRUST will probably be submitted to a meeting of the creditors some day next week, and if they are not be bankruptcy, in Which cas> all their mills and works will be stopped, people - in this and at least 10,000 immediate vicinity, will be thrown out of employment. Notwith- standing the comparatively favorable show- ing of affairs by the Committee of Investiga- | the exception of two cotton mills which manufac- | ture print cloths for their Cranston mills, | Irom want during the winter. | so generously acceptable the only alternative of the concern will t 1873. QUADRUPLE SHEET, iam Sprague has been absent and silent’ during ¢ crisis, followed by huis resignation to-day o1 the. Presidency of the Corporation, is interpreted as an til \Men oF the future of the concern. I earn from igh authority that three Weeks ago he foresaw what was to come, and tavored suspension at that time. The other members of the firm differed from him, and their sickly existence from that time up t the present has only been prolonged at heavy sacrifices for 1unda sufficient to de'ray cur- rentexpenses. The rumor that the rival firm of Brown & Ives heid large quantities of the Spiagues paper and pressed them tor liquidation is denied. The paper which they had did not mature until a certain time, and, of course, payment was not demanded uatil maturity. Hence the absurdity of the story on the face of tt. Sprague Companies in Augusta, Me. . Avausta, Nov, 1, 1873, The financial troubles of A. & W. Sprague & Vo, it is believed will not seriously affect the business in this city with waich they are identified, with Their factories give employment to 450 operatives, with @ pay roll of $12,500 per month. Itis not untikely that they will mporarily suspend operations, Next Monday 1s pay day, and efforts are now being: made te raise nieans lo pay of the employés, The solvency of the Coburn Land Company and the Kennebee Land and Lumbering Company will not be affected in the least by the Sprague iallure. The Rhode Istand Press Upon tne Rhode Island Pressures, {From the Providence Journal, Nov. 1] After what had already been known, and what was plainly prefigured, no surprise was excited yesterday when the paper of A. & W. Sprague went to protest. It had been generally expected and Was received as ofcourse. The identification of the New York and Providence houses was so com- plete that the failure of one was the failure of the other, and was > an- nounced in New York, Everybody understood that the resources of either were at the command of the other, if they could be made avail able, and that the present means of both must be exhausted before either teil, No house has been carried down with them as yet, and we do not learn that any is suspected; but some concerns of ligtle strength may be loaded with their paper. Senator Sprague returned to the city lust evens ing, having been absent for some time; but we have bo other intimation than that afforded by a Boston paper that his health is ma condition to awaken patnial solicitude.

REDUCTION OF LABOR DOWN EAST. BanGor, Me., Noy, 1, 18 To-night quite a number of workmen in the iron works of this city will be discharged, on account of the slacking up of work. Various manutacturers intend to reduce the working loress of their estav- lushments, THE LABOR MARKET IN KENTUCKY. LouisviL.r, Ky., Nov. 1, 1875. ‘The woollen mills.around the Mails have reduced the wages of the employ¢s fifteen and twenty per cent, commencing on this day, for the season. Several iron manuiacturers have reduced wages on skilled jabor ten and on common twenty per cent. Many discharged workmen of the railroad com- panies have gone to Mempiis for work, now tuat the lever has abated. THE PANIC IN PATERSON. Five hundred hands were discharged from the Danforth Locomotive Works, in Paterson, last night, and the establisnment during the present | week will be sunt down on account of the de- | preasion in business. At the Grant Locomotive Works nearly the entire force was discharged, At the Rogers’ Works 300 men were to be dis- charged, but instead of this the wages of the em- ployés were reduced fifty-eight cents a day, so as w make it equivalent to the proposed reduction. How long this will continue is a question. The manufacturers cousider that there ia little | prospecct of improvement during the winter, and & very hard winter is anticipated. There is taik of the city authorities taking measures to give em- ployment to unemployed mechanics to keep them The number of good | workmen now out of work in Paterson can be counted by the thousand. THE CHOCTAWS AND THE NEGROES, Cappo, Indian Territory, Nov. 1, 1873. The Choctaw Legislative Council has just ad- journed, after an exciting session. of about four weeks. In the treaty of 1866 Congress agreed to give the Choctaws $300,000 for the strip of country Known as the “leased district,” provided the Choctaws would, within two years, adopt into the nation and make citizens about 3,000 negroes, formerly their slaves, and give forty acres o! land to each individual. ‘The time expired without | action having been taken, and from Council to Coun- cil the goveriment has extended the time, This money, With interest, now auiounts to more than | $400,000; yet so strong is the prejudice or fear of sectionizing and allotting their lands that they have again reiu-ed tO pass the act of adoption, This is a flat refusal to do justice to these colored people, who are attached to their howes and native | land, when the government is willing to pay them for an act of justice. It is safe to say that each one oi these men produces more than any twenty tull blooded Choctaws. Every other nation of Indians have | adopted their former slaves and given them equal right of land and annuities, the negrves are eXcited and will send a strong delegation to Washington tu urge their rights be- fOfe Congress. They do not want to be compelled to | leave their homes, and desire to have their status determined. Either they are citizens of the United States or of the Choctaw Nauoo, and tie goverument cannot afford to ignore their just de- | mands. Another Steamer Attached Belonging to the Southern Railroad Company— Wages Reduced. Newrorr, R. I, Noy. 1, 1873, The steamer Fall River, belonging to the New Jersey Southern Railroad Company, arrived here on Thursday to lay up and be repaired during the winter, but to-day she has met the fate of the Jesse Hoyt and Plymouth Rock—she was attached by a United States Marshal in behalf of George Hutson and Robert Hutson, crockery meér- chants of New York city.
