Creditors Accept the Plan and_th'e Directors So Vote. the Expense and Delay of a Receivershlp \Vill Be Avoided. ' Washington. Dec. 29.—Comptroller Eckels says, relative to the placing of the Chestnut Street, National Bank in voluntary liquidation, in case the cr‘ed- itors of the bank accepted the plan proposed by the committee having it “I have instructed the Deputy Comp— troller, George M. Coffin, to at once call a meeting of the directors of the Chest- nut Street Nafional Bank to pass the necessary resolution and issue notice to the shareholders for a meeting to- vote to go into voluntary liquidation. In addition, I have requested him to have the directors obtain at’once the signatures of representatives holding (two-thirds of the bank’s stock, agree- Ing' to vote for liquidation when the matter is presented at the meeting to be called. Having done this, I have stated that the Cbmptroller would then permit the bank to go into voluntary liquidation, after the vote is bad, on evidence being furnished that the cred— itors of the bank have accepted the plan proposed by the committee in place of evidence of indebtedness from the bank. By having this arranged be- fore voting it will enable the public to understand that immediately upon the consent of the creditors being obtained- the bank will avoid the appointment of a. receiver and the expenses and delay attendant upon a receivership avoided. “I have studied the plan submitted with. care, and am of the opinion that the creditors of the bank, the Trust Company and: Mr. Singerly Will be bet- ter cared for than by any method which can be devised in which all the assets represented by his various. in- terests are handled under different agencies. Such a division of responsi- bility and of assets would necessarily entail disputes andresult in expensive litigation as to the rights of this or that one in the property interests rep- resented by hiin. It would also jeop- ardize the value of the asset which. is the most to be looked for for the pay- ment of the obligations due from the institutions with which he was con- nected and from himself. The Impor- tance of whatever action the creditors take being quickly determined arises from the wisdom of not permitting any asset to be unnecessarily dissipated, or any of the good will of any valuable property in which Mr. Singerly is in- terested lost. “The situation is now' in the hands of the creditors, and I believe that in following the plan outlined the end will fully justify their relying on the con- servative management of those who have heretofore been successful in un- dertaking large financial matters.” INTERSTATE COMMISSIONER. Appointment of Judge Paxson Not Definitely Determined Upon. VVash'ington, Dec. 29.—The announce- ment of Judge Paxson's selection as Inter-State Commerce Commissioner, to succeed Hon. William R. Morrison”: seems to have been rather premature. There are several applicants for the po- sition from Illinois, and the announce-.- ment which was made, with every in- dication of being reliable, has not de- terred them in the least from actively pushing their claims. From what can be learned at the White House it is not thought the ap- pointment of Judge Paxson, of Penn- sylvania, has been definitely deter- mined upon, bu-t that the question is still open. Besides the Pennsylvanian, the leading candidate for the position see-ms to be Judge Littler, of Illinois, who has the indorsement of both Sena- tors from Illinois. Senator Mason was seen yesterday, and he said that from what he could gather from his visit to the White House he thought the appointment would not be definitely settled until next week. The friends of Judge Pax— son, however, still maintain that he will be. Col. Morrison’s successor. One of. the Murderers Arrested. -Norristown, Pa., Dec.' 29.—Martin Conne-rs was arrested at Ardmore yes- terday, charged with being one of the gang that murdered Conductor Gallo— way on his car on Sunday night. He was identified by the motormafi and by the three women who were in the car at the time. He denied having been in the neighborhood on the night of the murder. He put questions to the wit- nesses and endeavored to convince them that they were mistaken. He was ccmmitted for trial. Additional re- wards have been offered for the detec- tion of the murderer of Conductor Gal- loway. The total amount is now $725. ________..____-_— Horton‘an Violated. Buffalo, N. Y.:’ .Dec. 29.—Justice Woodward, in the Supreme Court, has handed down a decision on the legality of boxing as prescribed by the Horton law. The Justice holds that the. spirit and intent of the law has been vio- lated, and on the strength of such a conviction holds the boxers who were arrested in $100 bonds to keep the peace for one year. The attorney for the defense at once applied for an ap- peal. The decisiou was the result of . the issue of warrants for the arrest of 1 three boxers who were about to engage in a contest by a. committee of minis- ters. No Break 5‘with Germany.

The Minister characterizes such re- ports as"‘an effort to mix politics with charity. “This talk of interventibn in certain quarters,” he said, “has no other pur- pose than to embitter both countries and to divert the original essential pur- pose of alms-giving. The extension of aid to the sufferers in Cuba is np more MINISTER DE LOME. Intervention than was the action of all the nations of the, world, including Spain, to extend help to Chicago after the big fire.” Turning to a dispatch just received from Dr. Congosta, Secretary-General at Havana, the Minister proceeded, quoting in part from the dispatch: “It is not true that the Spanish au- thorities in Cuba. are not equal to the situation. Succor is being given abun- dantly, and relief committees are in regular operation. In two of the prov— inces—Puerto Principe and Santiago—- there has been no concentration. Forty plantations are grinding sugar. Many of the .reconcc'ntrados who are reported to be suffering are in such condition through an unwillingness to work. The energy with which relief measures are bein'g conducted in Havana is shown "by a, glance at the. Havana papers every day, where there are long lists of charitable donations from private parties. The Spanish Government has remitted all duties on relief supplies sent to Cuba, so that for every dollar of supplies éntering Cuba Spain adds a. considerable percentage. “American help will be received with the spirit in which it is given, and the American Government, as Secretary TEE EVENING G Sherman expressed in his recent letter, offers the well-known generosity of the American people in the same spirit that they'have accepted foreign help in cases of public calamity.” TO DINE SECRETARY BLISS. Protective Tariff League Will Honor Its Retiring President. Washington,. Dec. 29.—Appraiser Wil- bur F. Wakeman has been in Wash- ington making the final arrangements for a notable banquet which the Ameri- can Protective Tariff League will give to Cornelius N. Bliss, Secretary of the Interior, and the retiring president of ‘the organization. The Waldorf-Astoria, in New York, has been engaged for the banquet, which will be one of the most remarka- ble affairs of the kind ever given in this country. It has been arranged that the dinner shall be purely and distinctively ’ American. American music will provided, the bill of fare—not menu— Will be printed in plain English, and on it will be found canvas—back duck, ter- rapin and all peculiarly American dishes. The wines and cigars will be of American production, and the at- tendance will be limited to patriotic Americans. It ‘is expected that the en. tire Cabinet will be present, and pos- sibly, the President. Mr. Bliss was one of the organizers of the American Piotective Tariff League and served as chairman of its Executive Committee until 1891, when he was elected president, which posi- tion he has occupied ever since. Mr. Bliss feels that, as Secretary of the In— terior, he cannot consistently continue as president of the Tariff League, and has decided ‘to resign that position. It is in recognition of his services to the cause of protection that this dinner will be given. _— » Speedy Trial for Eli Shaw. Camden, N. J., Dec. 29.—Supreme Court Justice Garrison has ordered the Camden County Grand Jury to return the indictment against Eli Shaw at once, in order that he may have a speedy trial, and fixed Jan. 3 as the date of the trial. Prosecutor Jenkins, when'informed of the action of the Court, protested against such an early date being set for the trial.

Washington, Dec. 29.—Reports re- ceived atrthe Navy Department indi- cate that the British Government is pushing the work of modernizing‘the great fortifications at the Rock of Gib- raltar with all speed, and that no less than five thousand Spanish working— men pass daily over the lines to and from their work on the fortifications. A large number of the heaviest pieces of artillery are being put in place, a great dock is under construction, and : the plan of defense permits of the ab- Solute protection of _a vast British fleet under the guns of the fortress. RUSSIA’S CONTRACT WITH COREA. Remarkable Document Under Which the Czar Seized the Finances. Tacoma, Wash, Dec. 29.—The pecu- liar and remarkable contract under which Russia seized the Cor'ean finances and customs, and‘ thereby forced out McLeavy Brown, therepre- sentative of Englishinterests, has been translated. It is as follows: “In accordance with the“ commands of the Emperor of Corea, the Corean Minister Plenipotentiary in Russia, M'in Yong Hwan, having requested the imperial Russian Government to send to Corea. an official versed in finance, whose functions would be to transact all the financal business in Corea and to take charge‘at the same time of her customs, the Russian Government ac— ceded to the request and directed Mr. Alexieff (described as “member of the Great Council") to proceed to Seoul, where he recently arrived. “Now, therefore, the Corean Minister of'Foreign Affairs and the Russian Minister, acting on behalf of their re- spective governments, have consulted as to the duties to be henceforth un- dertaken by Mr. Ale-xieff, and have agreed as follows: “Mr._Alexieff is appointed as adviser to the Corean Finance Department and .v, as Superintendent of Customs. The va- rious departments and offices of Cores shall conduct the financial affairs apa pertaining to them in accordanccwith the recommendations and directions of .the financial advisor, and shall sppply him with whatever documentary as- sistance or aid of any other kind he may require. The financial advisor shall specially provide a suitable per- son to superintend the Corean customs in lieu of the present occupant of that post. The Superintendent of Customs shall report to him all expenditures and receipts. Should the financial ad- visor have occasion to leave his post he shall previously select a competent locum tenens, and shall make him dis- charge his duties during his absence. The person so selected must be ap- proved by the Corean Government and the 'Russian Government. In the event of the financial advisor returning ‘to Russia he shall not leave .Corea until a successor has arrived to'discharge his duties. The period'of this engage- ment is unlimited.” It is dated Oct. 5. It Will be seen that Russia not only seizes the’ finances and customs of Corea, but proposes to for- ever hold the same, notwithstanding that in her treaty with Japan after the China—Japan war she specifically agreed to join Japan in maintaining the independence of Corea, and not to do any act that would jeopardize “Japan’s influence there. ENGLAND NOT IN 1T. She Declines to Become a. Party to the Seal Agreement. London, Dec. 29.—Lord Salisbury, the - Premier, has written to United States 'ica’s latest proposals in the Behring Sea controversy, requesting that Great Britain should enter into an agree- ment with-the United States, Russia -' and Japanto stop sealing. _~ Great Britain declined-to enter into such an agreement. Lord Salisbury says, in substance, that he has com- municated with'xthe Canadian Govern- ment, which'has-the foremost interest in the sealing question, and that Cana- da is unwilling to become a party to such an arrangement as is proposed by the United States. “Therefore Eng- ? land, continues Lord Salisbury, whose ' interest is but slight, would not be jus- tified in acceding to ‘the proposals. Lord Salisb"u1ys answer emphaszes ‘ the policy of Great Britain not to in- terfeie in Canada’s fmeign relations. TripleKilling in lieutucky.

Victoria, B. 0., Dec. 29. —The steamer Tees, ftOm Skaguay, brought down five Klondikers, Richard Shaw, of Victoria, who left Dawson on Nov. 16, and three other" Victorians, and ‘T. Hanby, of ‘Se- attle, who started Oct. 27. The party leaving on the latter date ran out of. provisions at Fort Selkirk and had to beg their way along, getting foo-d at fferent camps, or, when it was not to be had, living on anything they could shoot. Shaw came out by dog train, leaving Dawson. after the ice formed. He passed fifty men along the river bound outward. They were all coming along with just enough food to last them. At Stewart River forty-three outfits bound for Dawson were frozen in. Two of the three rafts of beef, which were on the bars just above Dawson, weie car- ried down the.,rlv‘er right past the town by the floating ice. On the nighgof Nov. 15 Jim Cary’ s saloon, at Dawson, was robbed of $20, - 000. Ed Lordg'i} tfi‘é-. bartender, and two other men, wer'e arrested. At Fort Sel— kirk a man named Keeler was robbed suspicion. Shaw says some of the men on the trails will not get down until the ice goes out in the Spring. Just before he left claim owners reduced wages from $15 to $10 per day, and men were threatening to go on a strike. Shaw stated that food Was scarce at Dawson, but that the men. now there have enough to last them through the Win- ter. . . ' Maj. Bucket Leaves Portland. Portland, Ore., Dec. 29.—The steam- ship George W. Elder has sailed for Dyea and Skaguay with 125 passengers and 500 tons of freight.

Chicago, Dec. 29.—Martin' Julian, manager "Of Bob Fltzsimmons, _,thc heavy-weight champion, has this to say about the challenge issued by Kid McCoy for a. fight at the middle-weight limit. “It is almost ridiculous foi' McCoy to %,expect to take on Fitz for a go and While I acknowledge he is a good one, I_don’ t think he would stand any show “One thing I can positively say, and that is that Fitz will fight again. He and I came to that agreement a few nights ago, and he has left everything to my absolute control. “When'he and I had come to the agreement he said to me: ‘You take entire control and I’ll do exactly as you say and leave the whole affair to your cliscretion.‘ ‘However, I am going to insist that all the men who go about talking fight whenever they'feel like it shall accom— plish as much and make as good a record as the present champion. “I shall insist that Corbett fight Maher before I talk any kind of fight with him, and in dué course of time, when McCoy has done as much and has done what I think will entitle him to any consideration whatever for the match, I shall accommodate him and make arrangements for the fight. " This is taken to mean that Julian thinks the champion needs some adver- tising, and takes this means of obtain- ing it. If Julian’s conditions are to be observed before Fitz will fight again, Jim Corbett will be an old man. Both Brady-and Corbett have said that the e'x- -champion will not enter the ring again unless it is to fight Fitzsimmons. McCo’y s challenge to Fitzsimmons was for a fight at the middle- weight limit, 158 pounds. No sane man will believe that Fitz can now make that weight and be strong. Whatever Fitz- simmons’ claims may be, McCoy is gen— erally recognized as the middle—weight champion. . 'f‘r. Made a Stone Coffin for Hllnself.

Doors and Windows Made of Tubular Grating that Connect with the Office. “ A system of tubular grating for firth? ans has been invented which practi— cally makes escapeby means of sawing the bars of cell doors and windows im- possible. I The system ..is built on’the vacuum- :principle. Thedoors and windows'of the prison cell are constructedof pipe, resembling the solid steel bar grating at present in use. The pipes of each cell are continued from the cell to the waiden’s office, where they are con- nected with a vacuum gauge, a combi-' nation alarm and annunciator valve and a stop valve. There is a connec- tion with a main vacuum pipe and a pump, by which the air is exhausted from all the grating and a. vacuum formed in the pipes. The lock used in connection with this new system is 5 made on the same principle. Caged behind these vacuum bars a. prisoner could not escape by'means of cutting, drilling or breaking the grat- ing without sounding an alarm on the warden’s annunciator. ‘Any opening made in the bars would break the vac— uum and send the air rushing through the pipe to the alarm valve, indicating on the annunciator the exact spot where the opening had been made. " This system' has been tried success- ully and seems to°afford an invulnera- ble protection against jailbreaking. It has been examined and pronounced thoroughly practical by such authorié ties as Sherifi Tamsen, Warden Sage, of Sing Sing, and Henry Doht, Sheriff of Queen’ 5 county.——New York J ournai PECULIARITY .OF POISON IVY. Doesn’t.

One thing is certain, that the number of people susceptible to the poisoning in- fluence must be extremely few, from the fact that in the vicinity of Phila- delphia the highways and byways taro overrun with the plant to an enor- . mous extent. It is frequently impossi- ble for people to go by Without brush- ing against it, and if it is the vapor or some exudation from the plant which causes the trouble thousands of per: sons must be under the influence to. every one who suffers from it. The writer of this paragraph knows of. a tract of land on which the plant grows profusely, and on which many scores of laborers are employed. These la- borers are frequently set to weeding and pulling out the plant by the naked hand, and, so far as. the writer knows, none of these mem were ever poisoned . _by it.

Introduced Into Ireland in 1585, and First Grown by Sir Walter Raleigh. Potatoes, native _to Peru, were dis- covered by the Spaniards in the neigh- borhood of Quito, where th- 3' were cul- tivated by the natives. Condor, a monk, first introduced them into Spain whencegthey passed into Italy and thence to Belgium. Humboldt says that at the discovery they were culti- vated in all the temperate parts of the continent from Chili to New Granada, In 1585 potatoes were taken from North Carolina and Virginia, on the return of the colonists sent out by Sir Walter Raleigh, and were first cultivated on his estate near Cork. The sweet potatoes, native of the West Indies, were given to Colum- bus by .-the natives of Cuba. were in nEroduced into England by Sir Francis Drake, who wrote of them in praise but forgot to send instructions to eat only the root. The gardener of Queen Elizabeth planted them and ate some of the tops. Being disgusted by the taste, he pulled up his crop, made a fire cf the pile, was attracted by the pleasant odor of the burning tubers, picked up a. root, ate it, and, being pleased With the taste, continued the cultivation and introduced them to the notice of others’.——Lippincctt’s Magazine.
