W., WASHINGTON. Dec. 8.—In his { annual report Secretary of the Treas- | ury Shaw speaks optimistically of the | financial condition of the countr: { which, he says, has passed the crisis which in the last year caused a shrink. ge of the market value of stocks and | bonds. . “Our currency system,” says the Sec- retary of the Treasury, “has been sub- | jected during the year to some very severe tests. Unprecedented prosperity | encouraged the natural optimism of our “peup!e to such an extent that property of all kinds found ready and eager buy- {ers at figures phenomenally high. | condition therefore existed which of necessity could not last. Within a | year the market value of stocks: and bonds, the proper and legitimate hold- ings of the people, has depreciated in | an amount estimated far in excess of | the cost of four years’ devastating civil war. Yet notwithstanding this enor- | mous and inconceivable shrinkage, it has not affected in noticeable, degree | other classes of property. Banking in- stitutions have exhibited no suggestion of weakness, few business failures have | occurred, there has been but a glight | curtailment in commercial enterprises, | very little apparert hardship and abso lutely no fear of any depreciation in | any form of currency. To all appear- | ances the crisis is passed. There now exists scant reason for apprehension— certainly no occasion for alarm. “By the provision of a very wise act of Congress approved March 14, 1900, it was made the duty of the Secretary of the Treasurv to redeem United States notes and treasury notes in gold on demand. and to maintain all forms of money issued or coined by the Gov- ernment at a parity of value.

CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, . W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Gen- eral James H. Wilson, U. S. A., retired, was the most important witness before the Senate Committee on Military Af- fairs to-day. He greatly encouraged General Wood’s enemies and is said to have shown considerable bitterness in giving his testimony, and in response to questions plainly indicated that he regarded General Wood's promotion as one of preferment and not warranted by meritorious service. : A large part of his testimony was devoted to the newspaper correspond- | ent, Bellairz, who, he said, did great injustice to nearly all American officers in Cuba except General Wood. his opinion that Bellairs went to Ha- vana solely for the purpose of advanc- WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—The reeent investigation into frauds in the Post- office Department was the basis of a sharp tilt in the Senate to-day by Gor- i | man and Lodge.

The de- cision, which affects a large number of | cases, and which has an important bearing on the public land frauds, is made in the case of Mrs. Anne Bowes, | who made an entry on land in the Bro- ken Bow district in Nebraska. Mrs. Bowes claimed the right of entry as| the widow of a sailor in the Civil War, | under a section of the Revised Statutes | which allows such dependents to make | homestead entries with credit for the | | time of the soldier’s or sailor’s military | or naval service. It was admitted this | case was made under an agreement with the Standard Cattle Company. whereby Mrs: Bowes, at the time of the | | entry, leased the land to the company, | with the further agreement that the| company should have the option of pur- | chasing the land. The department de- | cides that Mrs. Bowes is required to | maintain residence on the land and that | | her agreement with the company in- valiGated the entry and requires its | cancellation. | ———————— ! | UNITED STATES SENATE ; CONFIRMS THE NOMINATIONS | Names Presented by President Are Acted Upon and Arthur G. ¥isk Becomes Postmaster.

GIVES FORTINE T0 IS FRIEND Aged Recluse Leaves Million- Dollar Estate to a New York Woman + Who Assisted Him KINDNESS BRINGS RICHES Relatives of Decedent Reside in Germany and Beneficiary Shares Wealth With Them e s gl NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—Gilt-edged se- curities with a market value of $7 000 have been taken from a safety de- posit box by attorneys for the heirs of Maximilian Hershel, an aged recluse and former member of the New York Stock Exchange, who died in St. Luke’'s Hospital last July. Ninety-three addi- tional bonds bring the value of the hoard up to $950,000. Just before "he died Hershel nounced in the presence of witnesses that he wished all his property to be turned over tc Mrs. Willlam Georgi of Brooklyd, daughter of a couple who had befriended him in his youth and who had made his declining years com- fortable by numerous attentions, not knowing of his great wealth. Mrs. Georgi attended him in his dying moments, little dreaming that she was heiress to $1,000,000. Four relatives of the old man were living in Germany, it was found, and Mrs. Georgi declared that the property should be equally di- vided, so far as she was concerned. At- torneys for both interests arranged this and the estate will be divided at the end of six months into five equal parts. an- | The heirs living in Germany were un- known to Hershel. They were found through advertising, but have praved their relationship and Mrs. Georgl evinced no desire to keep them from sharing her good fortune. Some delay was experienced in secur- ing permission to open the safety de=- posit boxes held in Hershel's name. Hershel emigrated from Germany forty years ago. On the steamer he They had just married and were seeking a home in America. The three became great friends, the young German being aided by the couple to the best of their lim- ited means.

Andrew Carnegie and | Professor Agassiz of Cambridge, pres- | ident of the National Academy of Sci- ences, and Judge William W. Morrow | of San Francisco, one of the trustees, | were present. Carnegie made a brief | address, in which he commended the work already done and talked gener- ally of the aims of the institution. The report of the year showed sixty-six grants made by the executive commit- tee for scientific research, involving an aggregate of $150,000,.and recipi- | ents representing every .part of the United States and the smaller colleges, as well as the large universities, ob- servatories and laboratories. The first session was devoted to a discussion of several large projects, which were stated to be worthy of lib- eral support. They included: Solar observatory, Southern observatory, es- tablishment of a geographical labora- tory, trans-Caspian exploration and ‘mrchaeological excavation, explora- tion in° the South Pacific Ocean, establishment of biological ex- periment laboratories and internation- ial magnetic researches. As the amount required for all these would far exceed the resources, a careful se- lection was necessary. No conclusion was announced. - —_—— Sentenced to 1000 Years in Prison.
