"gllt-edged" in every particular. In
many instances these notes were ac-

collateral was in the shape of liens

North American Is Solvent But
Cannot Continue Its Existence.
New YORK, Nov. 13.-All sorts of
stories are going around in regard to
the affairs of North American. 1t is re-
ported that the company's assets have
all been pledged to secure debts, and
that nothing remains for the stock
holders. The officials of the COM
pany, in reply to this, say
that the company Is solvent.
1t is not denied by the creditors that
the company Is solvent; that is that it's
assets exceed or are equal to it's liabili-
ties; but the reports affecting the stock
are that the company will have so little
left after its debts are all paid, that it
Will be impossible to continue its exist
ence. The following statement Is au-
thorlzed by the officials of the North
American company:
: The reports as to The condition of the
Norm American company are unfounded,
and extremely unjust. The company has no
Outstanding cali obligations. and its time
loans are held by com paratively few persons
ana institutions of great financial strength,
an are abnndantly secured by collateraIs
'ile.I which even at the panic prices pre-
could have been sold for sum sufficient
to pay all Its obligations and leave
large and substantial Surplus to the credit
OF the company. The company has also
large amount OF valuable assets in it's treas
ury which are not pledged OF all, and is and
always has been perfectly solvent. Owing TO
the feverish condition Of the market, it
was. thought wise to call the creditors to-
gether IN order to get their assurance
athat the assets of the company pledged
to them as collateral would not be SACRIFICED.
These assurances have been cheerfully given
and q committee of the creditors has been
appointed to cooperate With the officers OF
rifiee of It's securities. The creditors were
called together simply to satisfy them of the
sound condition OF the company and to OBJ
tain their cooperation. The company has
none.

THE KILLING OF CRoNIN.
Alleged Statement of Iceman
O'Sullivan as to How 1t Was

Done
CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-What purports to
be statement from Iceman O'Sullivan
regarding his connection with the Gro
min case, as told within the past few
days to an intimate friend whose name
is not given, will be published here to-
morrow. O'Sullivan is represented
as saying that he was in ignor-
ance of any intention to kill
the doctor, having been repeatedly as
sured by Coughlin that the purpose was
to seize Cronin and search him for docu-
ments which were valuable to the Irish
cause, and of which Cronin was treach-
erOusly in possession. Burke, CoOney and
OSulliyan, the statement continues,
were in the Carlson cottage as the doc
tor drove up; but O'SuIlivan, not liking
the way Burke and Cooney acted, and
fearing trouble would ensue, went
out, OF the house. stopping in the
back yard for time, undecided
what to do. When the iceman finally
made up his mind and returned inside
the cottage, Cr0nin was lying on the
floor apparently dead. Coughlin, it is
alleged, now entered from the front
door and began kicking Croni1, desist-
ing only when O'Sullivan threatened to
shoot him. The iceman then, so saws
the statement, abruptly left the cot
tage. 1t is not claimed that this state
ment or confession is written one, but
that in verbal form it has for several
days been in the possession of the Gro
nll prosecution.

mad received in Europe. Mr.. WEIGH
presented himself to Maj. Burke and
said he desired to take the statements
of the indians without Mai.
Burke or any one connected
with the show being present,
although he was willing for the report
erS to be present. Maj. Burke declined
to accede to this proposition. on the
ground that Mr.. Welch had no authority
to make the examination. The Indians
looked well and bore no exterior evi-
dence of i'll treatment. At the conciu-
elnsiOn of the interview between Mai.
Burke and Mr.. Welch, the former said
that he would take the Indians to Wash
ington this afternoon, and lie was per-
feetly willing for Mr.. Welch to make
