LODGE SAYS IT Is FALSE.
The Congressman Declares There's No
Truth in the Story.

The Congressman Declares There's No
Truth in the Story.
BOSTON, Dec. N.-Congressman Henry
Cabot Lodge, referring to the article in to-
days Washington Post charging that he
with others had formed a conspiracy to pre-
vent any but a certain clique of writers
from gaining access to historical matter in
the Government archives, said tonight that
the accusation was false. The article, he
alleges was written to injure his chances
for election to the Senate.
"Of course had documents copied" he
said, "as everybody has a right to do who
has got the Secretary of States permission.
1 got Mr. Bayard's permission to copy the
Hamilton documents when was editing
them for the Putnams, and the Putnams
themselves also got permission. That was
in 1885 or 1886, think. They are being
copied continually by historical students.
Such papers are public property, and per-
son wanting to get them copied for publi-
cation has only to get the consent of the
Secretary of State. Mr.. Bayard gave me
the permission, and it had been given to
many others; and the books themselves
have an Acknowledgement of it on every
page, and there was no secrecy about the
matter The copying for my set Of Ham
ilton was done under the supervision of
Theodore Dwight, and the copying was
paid for BY the MessrA Putnam, but
don't know who did the copying. If it
was done by Government clerks it was GER
tainly not done in the Governments time,

THE READING RELIEVED

OF the Conduct of Its Commercial Affairs
by Newly Organized Company.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.-The announce
ment was made to-day that an arrange
ment had been effected whereby the entire
management of the commercial affairs of
the Philsdelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company, including its finances, after
January 1 are to be conducted by the
Finance Company of Pennsylvania, of
which George H. Earle, Jr., was recently
elected president This arrangement will
have the effect of separating the large COM
mercial business conducted by the Coal and
Iron Company from its railroad business
proper. The arrangement is of such char
acter that the interests of both COM
panies are made secure, and it is one
which will be profitable to the Finance
Company, as we'll as economical and of
great advantage to the Coal and Iron Com
pany. Some such arrangement has become
a necessity since the acquisition of the Le-
high Valley and the Jersey Central, as we'll
as of large individual operators, from which
it purchases coal, making the aggregate of
this enormous commercial business reach
$50, 900, 900 to $40, ZOO, 900 per year.
The Coal Company's organization will
continue to handle and distribute the coal
and conduct all the details, as heretofore.
The main object of the movement is to sep
arate the Coal and Iron Company from the
railroad, and, at the same time, to relieve
President Mcleod of the details of the coal
business, in order that he may give undi-
vide6 attention to the railroad. President
Earle will have complete control of and su-
perv1sion over the anthracite output of the
Reading system, and all of the company's
officials now engaged in its coal offices will
be subordinate to him.

A CHASTITY GIFT.

The Hand of Rejected Suitor Sent by
She Gave Him Adorned the LifeIess
Finger.
ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Dec. PA loud
scream of horror and fear, followed by q
prolonged fainting spell, greeted the ar
rival of Christmas present by mail on the
morning of the 25th, the recipient being
Miss Estelle Robinson, of this city, who re-
sides with married sister on the outskirts
of town. The gift that caused this conster-
nation was an odd and ghastly onei the
shape of a human hand, perfectly embalmed
and mounted to serve as paper weight
The hand, which is in an admirable state of
preservation, looking as if 1t had just been
severed from the arm, is evidently that Of q
man, and is sinewy and shapely, and would
really be beautiful. viewed as work of art,
could the ghastliness of the thing be for
gotten.
On the third finger is a broad band Of
gold, but which could not be removed.
This, Miss Robinson reluctantly admitted,
appeared to be the ring presented by her
wears ago to young man to whom she was
at that time engaged to be married, and
unique and abhorrent manner of returning
the gift to her. But it is thought by the
Young lady's friends that the gentleman
lost the member by accident, and, having
on the ring at the time, returned both to
her.
The young man to whom Miss Robinson
is convinced the hand belonged was living
in New York year or two ago, but his
present whereabouts are unknown to her.
The ring she gave him bore an inscription
on the inside, but the lady re used to have
the band filed off for the purpose of identi-
flying it. Indeed, so great is her horror Of
the object that she refuses to look at it, and
has requested that it be at once Inferred.
The gilt was accompanied by plain visit
ing card on which was printed by a type
writer the greetings of the season. The ad-
dress was also typewriter The friends of
the young lady are indignant with the
sender, whoever he be, as the shock to the
nerves has made her seriously ill ever since
with hysteria.

THE LUMBER TRUSTS DEFEAT.

A Minnesota Court Refuses to Dissolve an
Injunction Against It.
ST. PAUL, Dec. 2L-Judge Cornish has
filed an order and memorandum in the case
of the Bohn Manufacturing Company against
W. G. Hollis ct al, officers and members of
the Northwestern Lumberman's Associa-
tion. The Court denies the motion for an
order setting aside and dissolving a tempo
rary injunction. The plaintiff claims that
the defendant has entered into a conspiracy
to restrain trade and to evade the law IN
this regard, to prevent every wholesale
lumber dealer from selling lumber to any
one except the members of the defendant
association, so as to compel all retail dealers
to Join the defendant association and act
with :ts members. In the answer the As
sociation says there are 100 retail dealers in
the Association; that each one of them is
financially responsible that it is proposed
to strike the name of the plaintiff of the
list of the honorary members of the Associa-
tion, and put their name on the unfriendly
list. The Court proceeded to say:
No trust could be more extensive or op-
pressive, and the danger Is not lessened,
owing to the lact it can be operated without
the risk OF loss to the members. Trade cali
not be so restrained. The defendants have
substantially admit ted the charges made by
the complainant, by admitting their real
purpose.

was not in the mood to discuss the matter.
Mr. Lodge is at Boston, looking after his
Senatorial fences, and here it may be said
that it is possible his ambition to succeed
Grandfather Dawes in the United States
Senate may have been the means Of bring
ing to the surface the State Department
scandal" Mr.. Lodges chief opponent is
Speaker Barrett, of the Massachusetts,
House of Representatives. Speaker Bar
rett is Bostonese, but has none of the over
wrought, worshipful admiration of culture
of the peculiar Boston type, felt by many
Bos ton people. He was here few years
ago as correspondent of a Boston paper, and
was emphatically one of the boys Of 'the

1t is thought to be just possible that Mr.:
Barrett ''got onto the little scheme" OF

portunity for its presentation. However

votes for the Senatorship.
Sherman on the Anti-Option Bill.
In conversation to-day, in regard to the
anti-option bill, Senator Sherman expressed
his surprise that the friends of the Dill
should consume so much time in speech
maki1g, and yentured the personal re-
Election that if they had as much experience
as he they would keep quiet and permit the
bill to come to a vote. Senator sherman
probably overlooked the fact that the MEM
bers who have spoken are answerapie TO
constituencies which are particularly in
terested for or against the bill. Each Sena-
tor who has spoken has had special reason
for the faith that was in him and which ne
coined into words
Senator Sherman, however, added the IN
teresting information that the bill has an
undoubted majority in the Senate, as in his
opinion this haa been shown by several
votes bearing indirectly on the measure.
This will be cheering news to Senator
Washburn. A peculiar fact in this connec-
tion is that within the last few days several
influential journals have all spoken at once
and in the same vein against the bill. This
shows that the opponents of Mr.. WASH
burns pet are not yet so discouraged as to
abandon their labors for its defeat

QUERETARo, MEX, Dec. 27.-The holi-

Mexico, Zacatecas, Aguas- -Calientas and
other points in this part of Mexico are in

Mexico, including Ponciano Diaz, who has
entertained the royalty of Spain by his
prowess, are here displaying their skill.
At the bull fight yesterday afternoon
several serious accidents occurred. Three
banderillos were terribly gored by the en-
ragged bulls. Several fine horses were killed
during tho performance and the sport was
pronounced great success by the large
audience. Many thousand dollars had been

Panic at Parkersburg.
PARKERsBURG, W. VA, Dec. N.-
Especial To-day Judge Boreman handed
down decision denying the motion for a
new trial of Clouston, the notorious embez-
zler. The State made . motion that the
Court should suspend execution of the
pending sentence, on the GROUND that the
prisoner is under indictment for more
serious crimes than the one of which he was
convicted in the case under consideration.
The court was filed with an anxious group
of persons who feared Clouston wohld in his
desperation besmirch those who have in
Cured his Ill will. The Court overruled the
motion made bv the prosecution, Judge
Boreman saying he would not try person
already under conviction.
Then the defense made final appeal that
the Court be merciful to the prisoner on
account of his parents. The Judge said he
had been very patient and painstaking in
the case, giving the accused every latitude
the law allows, and that he had been
roundly denounced by the public and the
newspaper press for SO doing. He then sem
fenced the prisoner to hard labor in the
penitentiary for two years. The sentence
created a profound sensation, and many
other faces than the prisoners paled when
it was pronounced-not for sympathy with
the prisoner, but for fear that he will make
good his threats to drag others down with
him. His counsel Immediately served notice
of the filing of bill of exceptions on
which they will base an appeal to the Su-
preme Court

subsequently, our afterpeak was fun of

fidence, the officers of the ship were In
tensely anxious.
The strain caused by the heavy seas was too
great, and after five minutes the hawser
broke. Before another hawser could be

hawser broke, as did also the third. On
Sunday morning other hawsers were fixed,
