were not in as prosperous Il condition as
many persons believed. His resources
had suffered a good deal by investments
which hadnOt turned out we'll In view
of those facts, which became privately
known soon after the secretary's death,
some of his friends and admirers in New

lily of so good a public servant should
have some testimonial of the esteem in
which he was held by the public. New
York bankers started the movement
privately among themselves three weeks
ago. The amount which it was intend

ed by last night, or, to be exact, $4,000
of it was. The remaining 81 ,OOO IS ex-
