His Wife Deeds Her Property for
the Benefit of Her Hus-
bands Creditors.

CLEVELAND. O.. Feb. ga plan for
the adjustment of the financial affairs
of Gov. Mckinley was decided upon
governors friends The arrange ment
was suggested last Sunday at a meeting
between Gov. Mckinley. Herman H.
Kohlsaat, of the Chicago Inter
Ocean; Col. Myron T. Herrick. and
James II. Hoyt. of Cleveland. and one
or two other friends, and it was then
decided to await the arrival of Mrs. Nc
Kinley from New York before nything
definite was done. On Monday it was
deemed advisable to postpone action
until the exact amount of the govern
or's liability had been determined. A
statement was received last night show
ing that he had Endorsed notes for Rob-
ert l.. Walker aggregating over 100000.
The total amount may be over 81 LIS. 000.
A final conference was decided upon

lev expressed his desire to make all as

with hers. The plan as finally decided
upon was as follows: The governor
makes an absolute and un qualified
assignment of all his property to Her
man H. Kohlsaat, Myron T. Herrck
and Judge William r. Day. 1t is gen.
eral assignment without reservation,
dedicating all the governors property
to the equal benefit of his creditors
without preference. Gov. Mckinley
determined upon this course for
tine reason, among OtherS-that he
feles certain that these trustees, who
are Gentlemen of experience and
ability in business affairs, can realize
more from his estate for his creditors
than he himself possibly could do,
pressed as he is with public matters.
Mrs. Mckinley has strenuonsly insisted
from the beginning upon devoting her
property, which came from her father
and mother, to the payment of the gov
ernor's debts. This her friends and
the friends of the governor were deter
mined she should not do, as the sacri-
flee of her private estate is, i'll their

sideration whatever. In order. however.
to satisfy Mrs. McKinley's persistent
wish, deed was executed by her, COLI

benefit of her husbands creditors. This
deed was placed Ill the hands of Hon.

Explanation of Maj. Baldwin's
Attitude Upon 1t.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Nearly all
the business and professional men of
Duluth have been firing kilograms at
Maj. Baldwin today III regard to the
Duluth Transfer Grassy Point bridge
bill. Some of these kilograms have
been simple expressions indorsing the
bill, while others have been thre ats.
The amusing part of the whole pro-
ceeding is that the people have wrong
impression of the bill. AS introduced
Maj. Baldwin stoutly supported it, but
when the original Grassy Point bill
reached the committee OH commerce of
the house Congressman Haugen, of
Wisconsin, succeeded in having it so
amended as to make it very objection
able to the incOrporators OF the Duluth
Transfer company, the capitalists vino
are to furnish the money, and to the
people OF Duluth, if they understood it.
After this amendment had been made,
the vice president of the transfer CON-
pany requested of Maj. Baldwin as a
possible, any action in committee or
house upon the bill as amended.
Mai. Baldwin appeared before the
argument against the amendment and
the bill as amended. After he had pro-
ceeded at some length with his objec-
tons, Congressman John Lind inter-
rupted him, producing a telegram dated
at Cincinnati from the vice president Of
the transfer company stating that he
had reconsidered his objection to the
amendment, and now favored the bill.
The bill was then reported faVOrably Dy
the committee, and is now on the calen-
dar.
Maj. Baldwin appreciated the OBJ
jectionable features Of the bill, and OPP
posed its passage in the house as amend
ed. Today Mayor john A. Willard, of
Mankato; Luther Mendenhall, Ii.
Smonds and q. E. Hartley. of Duluth,
arrived in Washington with instructions
from the officials of the transfer company
TO say that they would refuse to accept
the bill if passed III its present form.

ing the bill and looking over the field,

credit and standing as circu-
lating medium, and that large GUAM
titles of them get into circulation

successfully, when the p0stoffice bill
was passed and the Indian appropria-
ton bill was called up. Members were
thus put Oh record, and then the Indian
question was discussed languidly for
