FAILED FOR A MILLION.
Erastus Wyman, Member of the New
York Board of Trade, Assigns.

Erastus Wyman, Member of the New
York Board of Trade, Assigns.
NEW YORK, April 29.-Erastus Wyman,
the noted advocate of commercial reel
procity with Canada, and promoter OF
numerous projects more or less financially
successful, and a prominent member of
the New York chamber of commerce,
board of trade q nd many other business
organizations, has joined his wife in
making an assignment for the benefit OF
his creditors.
Wvman, when interviewed, denied that
he had made an assignment. He says
being a British subject, and unable as
such to own land IN the state OF New
York, his large real estate accommodations
on Staten island have hitherto been held
in the name of his wife. Several weeks
ago this property, worth 81 200, 600, was
all conveyed by Mrs. Wyman TO a trustees
for the benefit of creditors past, present
or to come. In this conveyance Mr..
Wynan Joined. The result of the crea-
ton OF this trust, he says, is to place
within reach Of his creditors the large es-
tate hitherto unavailable to them, and is
the only foundation for the story that he
has assigned. No list of Wyman's credi-
tors has been given out yet.
Colonel w. L. Strong, OF the Central
National bank, said that he had known
for some time that Wyman was in diff
Guilty and that such an arrangement was
in contemplation. He thought if he was
given time by his creditors, pending an
easier condition of the money market, ne
might be able to come out all right.
1t is said that probably Wyman 5 larg-
est creditor is the firm of R. s. Dun &
company. Dun's partners decline to say
ANYTHING on the subject From other
| sources comes the statement that Wyman's
| Indebtedness to lthe firm will reach be-
tween $500, 600 and s4O0, 900. This state
ment. however, is emphatically denied BY
| Wymar.
Further, Wyman says the property In
the trustees hands, if properly handled,
! is worth 81 ,000, 900, or twice what he owes.
The cause of Wyman's difficulties Is not
definitely known beyond a general stat
ment that on a multitude of his extern
sive ventures the strln gency Of the money
| market had q disastrous effect.
| A reporter called on Robert Dun Doug
| lass. of the firm Of r. G. Dun & Com
pany, at his home this evening. Dir.
/ DOUGLASS said he was unable to state the
| exact amount Wyman owed the firm, as il
could not be asceTtained until they heard
| from all branches Of the firm in the
principal cities. he said Wyman left the
| firm about two months ago in a somewhat
| uppleasaut manner. When asked to
name the figure that would represent the
money due the firm, he said it would ex-
( coed $3.50, goo, and would probably coma
nearer $500, 900. Douglass said his firm
was not going to take any special steps to
protect its interests.

WELCOMING vERAGUA.
The Descendant of Columbus Meets With
a Hearty Welcome.


CHICAGO, April 29.-The welcome which
greeted Christopher Columbus 400 years
ago musthave been more suspicious to the
sturdy heart of the Grant mariner than
that which greeted his descendant, the
Duke De Veragua today, as he reached
his destination on visit to the continent
discovered by his historic ancestor. Ac-
cording to history nature smiled on the
great Columbus as he sighted land on
that bright October morning, but today
the sky was overcast and the wind bleak
and chill.
The train bearing the distinguished
descendants of the great navigator and
members of his party, arrived at half-past
ten. People thronged the streets and
struggled for a chance to see the man
whose name was so closely connected
with the great whose quadro- ceHten-
NAL is about to be celebrated in this city.
A mighty cheer went up when the train
made its appearance. The party were
conducted at once to carriages by the re-
ception committee and the procession
formed and proceeded to the Auditorium,
headed by a detachment of police, then a
military escort and carriages containing
the distinguished guests and members OF
the reception committee.
The duke was given brief respite on
his arrival at the hotel. Later in the day,
after the presidential party had been es-
corted to the Lexington hotel, delega-

PENNINGTON, N. M, April %. = A
party direct from Whyte's Indian store
and Methodist Indian mission, reports
that the Indians have crossed back into

fears of an attack, though in the present

thought the Indians, seeing that the

up, took advantage OF the situation.

Ask for Help at Once.

Ask for Help at Once.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The comnis-
sioner of Indian affairs has received the
following telegram from Lieutenant
Plummer agent of the Navajoes: :" 1t is
my intention to use the troops asked for
to compel the surrender of the murderer
and other outlaws and bring the Indians
into the reservation. The necessity for a
larger force Immediately is more urgent
than reported yesterday as the Navajoes
along the border practically rule every
thing, defying all authority and disre-
garding all rights of the white settlers.
They have been permitted to do this SO
long that with only the weak threats
from the agent which are never carried
out they have grown to believe that MOTH
ing will or can be done with them.
A telegram from agent Bartholomew at
the Ute agency says: The Navajos are
about to break out, and have sent word
to the governors of New Mexico and Col
orado for aid, but must have help before
their aid arrives. Must have aid in a
hurry. These kilograms were forwarded
to the secretary of war.
