ested in the matter was concentrated on the even
ing meeting Of the directors. the result OF which
was not only pending the future action OF the COM
pany ITSELF but also the continuance or discontin-
uance OF proceedings In bankruptcy initiated yes
terday by Mr.. John J. Alien, and whose petition
will be found given below Mr.. Cnauncey has
dropped again into the silent mood, and reaction
has followed the candor and frankness OF the
previous day. After his full and explicit statement,
published in the HERALD yesterday, he was be-
sieged with newspaper reporters, who desired
similar favor; but In words few and well chosen
he referred all OF them to the directors meeting
IN the evening. Another asset in Mr.. Mills estate
has turned up in the shape OF o life assurance
policy Of s22 0O0 and therefore, unless there are
more liabilities Mr.. Mills estate than is gener-
ally supposed, there win be very respectable sur
plus for his family.
