Hardship to Pay Those Bonds Not

Senator Sherman.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Secretary Fos-
ter made the following statement to-day In
regard to the refunding operations and the
financial situation generally:
"About s1S, ,50O,00O of the AZ per cent
bonds have been extended, and applications
have besn received covering about 81, 500, 600

course, do not known. 1t is probable
that a considerable portion of the balance
1880 O0O0,00O will be extended. 1t will
be no hardship to the treasury
to be called upon TO pay those not extended.
In fact. such payment will add by the
amount paid, to the money in the hands Of
the people. By extension it succeeded in
preventing decrease Of the national bank
notes, and in fact, has SO far increased
their circulation nearly 5000, 900. The out
look is that considerably more of an increase
win be effected.

always find 1t profitable to discuss
money matters with him. do not recall a
single disagreement between us. The state
ment telegraphed from Mansfield regarding
our conference is pure romance. While
there is less money in the treasury than for
many years past, it is In comfortable con-
dition.
MORE MONEY IN CIRCULATION.
because of less money in the treasury 1t
follows that more money than ever before
is in the hands Of the people, thus facilita-
ting the conduct Of the business of the
country. We are on gold basis, and there
is no occasion for alarm as to the ability of
the government to maintain or increase the
present reserve Of gold.
II may add that Mr. Sherman fully
agrees with me regarding the legal power
of the secretary as above expressed. l do
not see any occasion for the exercise of this
power, but do not hesitate to say should
the occasion arise, l shall not fail to use It "

those badly injured in last nights collision
at Egg Harbor between the express train
and freight on the Philadelphia and Read
ing railroad was Thomas Hartman. the en-
gineer of the express. Hartman had both
legs broken in jumping from his engine.
He was brought here aud gave the follow
ing account of how the accident occurred.
THE ENGINEER's ACCOUNT.
Everything went all right on the train
until the down grade, just above Egg Har-
Dor, was reached. l noticed the boards
were dropped all right and that my track
was signaled clear, but seeing train on the
track ahead, applied the brakes sooner
than usual. / looked again and thought the
train must be beyond the depot. but it
proved to be nearer, and the brakes failing
to hold the train realized that was in the
midst of collision. My fireman was
In the tender at the time and by three sharp
blasts of the whistle l signaled him that
the train was no longer 10 my control.
ran out upon the board and jumped getting
the injuries you see me suffering with
now.n
When asked as to the rate Of speed he had
maintained, the engineer replied that he
was going at high rate. owing TO having
lost some time at Hammonton.

larly.

RYAN'5 CREDITORS.

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. l5.-The ATTORNEYS

recommending to their clients the accept,

between them and Ryan's counsel. This

third In sixteen months, deferred payments

that even IL the creditors, after a long liti-
gatfon, secured every doubtful asset, i'm
cluding the $4,000 that the court ruled
Ryan in contempt for not accounting for,
and also the real estate, worth S75, 900.
which be claims to have transferred to his
brother John not long before the failure,
there would only be limit OF S450. 900
cash. which the creditors could hope to
receive. The expenses of the receivershiu
aud $40 900 or more of mortgages, which
cannot be set aside, would leave only $780,
900 for net division among the unsecured
creditors, whose claims aggregate about
$1,000 and thus at the end Of the litiRa-.
ton, not more than from % TO %
cents on tho dollar could possibly
be secured. and this. Of course, would be
contingent on collecting the $l20, 900 cash
OF stephen A. Ryan and subjecting the
real estate. In view of which facts the
lawyers recommend that the proposition be-
accepted. This practically brings the case
TO close without further litigation.

on a short sea trip In the yacht Meteor, the
empress going on to Gurenholtz TO visit her
sister. Both returued to Kiel on the Ho-

party was given in the evening in honor of

To-day the emperor visited the works of
the North sea canal. In spite of his injured
knee, wet roads aud heavy rain, he walked
the entire distance from the landing stage
to the works, minutelY examining every
point of interest on foot. The empress took
the greatest interest in the condition Of the
workmen and the progress Of the works
since her visit Of last spring.
In the afternoon the emperor and empress
inspected the cruiser Bussard which is
about to go to West American waters.
