MINISTER BLoUNT.
The Commissioner to Hawaii Has Been
Appointed to Succeed stevens.

Guc OOninAesluueE tO EStHAlA HIS DccH
Appointed to Succeed Stevens.
WAsRINGT \, May 9.-Officers of the
state department. tonight confirm the
predictions heretofore made that ex-Rep-
resentative Blount would be appointed
minister resident to Hawaii. 1t has been
supposed that Minister Stevens would re-
main in charge of the legation until the
oath of this month, at which time he an
nounced his Intention of sailing for San
Francisco. 1t is not known that Stevens
was instructed to forthwith turn over the
legation to Commissioner Blount, who
has been appointed his successor, but
there is reason to believe that Stevens
was not allowed to remain in charge of
the legation until the oath inst. because
OF his activity in behalf of annexation.
1t is further stated at the department
that Cowen and Sewan who went to Hon
olulu shortly after Commissioner Blount's
arrival, were active in their efforts to
stimulate a sentiment on the islands in
favor of annexation, and there is reason
to believe that they sought TO create the
impression in SO doing that they were
representing the president. Secretary
Gresham has informed Mr.. Blount that
the president repudiates everything said
and done by these gentlemen.
1t will be remembered that Sewall was
an applicant for the position of third as
sistant secretary of state under the pres
ent administration, but failed to secure
the appointment.

BORROWED A BIG SUM.
The Cashier of Cook County, Ill, Treas
ury Takes $40, 900.

CHICAGO, May 9.-County Treasurer
Yern said today that his cashier, Felix
Schmeisthal, took s42, OOOin sums of s., 900
to SO, 000 to tide along Michael Schmeis-
thai, the banker who failed some time
ago. Michael was brother Of Felix and
both thought the bankers embarrass-
nent only temporary and SO Felix gave
Michael cash and put his checks in the
drawer as 'scash'' When Treasurer
Verne after the failure of the Schmeis-
thai bank, suspecting something wrong,
examined the cash, he discovered the
drawer short $4,000. Felix turned over
$50, 900 worth of real estate to two of his
bondsmen who promptly handed Mr..
Kern S21, 900 cash.
The matter became public this evening
through the announcement of the fact
that two others of Schmeisthal's bonds
men, NJ. A. Devine and Bernard Roesing,
had refused to pay their portion, and that
Treasurer Kern had instructed his at
ttorDey to bring suit against them. Grim
inal prosecution of Felix Schmeisthal
was refrained from by Treasurer Kern
through motives of friendship and pity
for the young man, who, he thinks, did
not really mean to do wrong.

NATIONAL coRDAGE COMPANY.
Plans for Complete Reorganization AL
most Completed.


NEW YORK, May 9.-Charles L. After
bury, counsel for the National Cordage
company. said today that an investiga-
ton into the affairs of the company had
reached poiut which enabled him to sey
that reorganization seemed assured. Con-
ferences had with bankers have been con-
fined thus far exclusively to the business
of the central company, and the condi-
tions of subsidiary firms and private in
dividuals was not yet taken up. Plans at
present did not contemplate the absorp-
ton or exclusion of any other cordage
manufacturing company. As TO the issue
of bonds or an assessment OF stock, moth
ing could be said nor could the names of
the proposed reorganization committee be
given out.
The receivers OF the Cordage company,
directors and others directly Interested in
It's affairs had number of conferences to-
day, and as a result it IS understood
that Drexel, Morgan & Co. will take steps
with view to a reorganization of the
company's affairs. Unless the reorgan-
ization is determined upon, indications
are that Cordage will be wiped out on the
Stock exchange, as the governors of that
institution are not at all pleased with
recent developments.

other companies represented will make a
similar offer.

Company Bankrupt 1t.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.-The failure of
the State Investment and Insurance COM
pany in this city has been heretofore tele-
graphed. 1t seems that suit was COM
menced for $40, 900. which will doubtless
throw it into bankruptcy. The company
has no funds, over $500, eco and is respon-
sible for unearned premiums OF over
1858, GOO. Its principal amount, $3.50, 600,
are outstanding premiums, most of which
are uncollectable. Nearly all the remain
ing assets are hypothetical for loans.
The insurance commissioner says the only
salvation OF the company is to reinsure
with some other company. 1t is reported
that the attorney general will proceed
against the company.

personal liberty of the judges depended
upon themselves. He gave them until
