Depew Talks on Coins School

HAMBURG. Sept. LIN an interview
with a representative of the Associated
Press Chauncey NJ. Depew of the New
York Central denied that he had prohib-
tied the sale of Coins Financial School
on the New Work Central and branch es
OF the Vanderbilt lines. His positive or
ders, he says. are to permit the sale Of
all political and economical books, regard
less of party. The reason that Coin S
book is not sold on the Central lines, Mr..
Depew continued, sis due to the rival
news companies. The American News
Company has a contract for the book stall
on the Vanderbilt lines and they cannot
get terms as profitable for this book as

Sugar Beets in Nebraska

OMAHA. Sept IA special to the Bee
from Norfolk, Neb., says:
There are about 10000 acres of sugar
beets in the Norfolk district. all Laid
by'' and in much better condition than
in any previous year. Recent rains have
benefited the beets greatly and with con-
tinued favorable conditions for root de-
velopment the results of the harvest will
exceed other seasons and will probably be
!, more than 40, 900 TONS which would mean
an output of some 7, 200, 900 POUNDS of gran
hundred days and nights. The advan-
tages of beet culture were clearly dem

duced the tonnage but made the roots
richer iii sugar. 1t is believed that the
enormous sugar output of the state tins

BROOKLYN, Sept. Three distinct
earthquake shocks were felt by the resi-
dents of Brooklyn about o'clock this
morning. No damage to life or property
is reported from any section of the city.
The districts of East New York and
South Brooklyn received the greatest
snock. but the rumblings were distinctly
felt In other sections OF the city. Con-
Trajectory reports are given as to the
severity of the shocks. The first shock,
whicn was felt at 6 o'clock, was followed
by a rumbling noise like distant thunder.
This was followed by two other slighter
shocks. which. according to some reports,
died away in low, grating tones.
Superintendent of Police William J.
Mckelvey telephoned to the police head
quarters from his Green avenue residence,
to the effect that he had been awakened
from a sound sleep by ths earthquake.
He said the house oscillated and that
the bed that he was sleeping in moved
perceptibly.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Crosby,
who was stopping at Coney Island, also
telephoned to headquarters that the
shock had been very severe in that Sec
ton OF Brooklyn. He described it as a
low. rumbling noise, and added that
many houses had been shaken, all the
inhabitants being aroused from their
sleep.
James Jackson. q night watchman at
the municipal building, said that the
residents of the Twenty-ffth ward were
startled by three shocks in rapid success
sion, followed by rumbling noise. The
houses there tremblsd and many pictures
and other ornaments hanging on the
walls were thrown to the floor.
Two conductors of the Atlantic avenue
railroad, who were dining in a restaurant
on Washington street, reported that they
felt the earthquake shock. The building
trembled while the plates and other
dishes on the table were moved. They
said the shock was like the effects of a
distant xplosion. At many hotels the
guests were SO frightened by the viora-
tions that thev hurried into the Railways
to find out the cause of the trouble. The
guests at the Fierrepont house we're very
much alarmed and many of them went
down stairs and asked the night clerk
what had happened. They thought an
expl0sio on must have occurred.

Cuban InsurrectiOnists Have More

REBEL LEADER IS A TRAITOR
Employed by Spain to Keep Her Adj
vised of Tprisings at a
Stated Salary.

TAMPA, Fla, March 22.-Incoming
passengers from Havana report that the
sympathizers with the Cuban rebellion,
arrested during the disturbances, have
been released. They are watched, and
should they be rearrested will be con-
fined at MatanZas. This release is be-
iieved to be to clear the prisons at Ha.
vana so that no evidence of rebellion
would be observed by visitors. 1t is re-
ported that the insurrectionists have
discovered that General Sanquilly, who
was expected to lead the rebels but was
arrested before the uprising came, has
been receiving 5000 a month from the
Spanish government for eight years past
to keep it advised of plots against the
government by the Cubans. General
Guillermo is reported near Santiago with
1000 men divided into four companies.
For the next two months it is stated
there will be no great progress, as the
Cubans do not intend now to assume the
aggressive. Early in June, the opening
of the rainy season, the Spanish troops
not acclimated will be exposed to the
elements, and yellow fever is relied upon
kill more troops than the Cubans
with their rifles.

REPORTED FALLING OUT.
Three of the Whiskey Trust Receivers
Have Resigned.

Three of the Whiskey Trust Receivers
Have Resigned.
CHICAGO, March 23.-Three receivers
of the whiskey trust presented their
designations to Federal Judge Grosscup
today. There was nothing in the pro-
ceedings to indicate disagreement among
the receivers. Receivers Lawrence and
Mitchell give as reasons for resigning
that their other business required all
their time. Mr.. Mitchell suggested that
two receivers were enough. Gen. John
McNulta was continued by Judge Gross
cup as sole receiver. The Judge said:
The designations were rendered because
it was thought the business of receiver
ship had reached such a stage that one
mar could conduct it without any diff
Guilty. There has been no trouble be-
tween the court and the receivers. The
question of compensation of the two re-
retiring receivers will be considered by
the Judge on his return from California,
whittier he is going on a brief vacation.
General McNulta has in reality had
control since the receivers took charge.
Judge Grosscup appointed him as the
courts direct representative and receiver
in chief. Lawrence was named as the
representative of the Greenhut manage
ment, and Mitchell as the representative
of the stockholders. In financial circles
it was the general belief that despite as
sertions to the contrary the designations
were the result OF a merry war between
the three men. 1t was asserted that to-
days court proceedings were arranged
solely for the purpose of letting Receiver
Lawrence "down easy" and his resigna-
ton was not wholly voluntary. 1t was
common talk on the stock exchange that
Lawrence had been accused of working
in the interest of the Greenhut crowd.
Today's affair was generally considered
proof of the supremacy of the reorgani-
cation committee and a pronounced de-
feat for Greenhut.

CLARK'S PLANS
The Butte Millionaire Is Contemplate
ing Purchasing a Copper Re-
finery and Brass Works
At ANS0N|A, CONNECTICUT
He Will Refine and Manufacture
the Output of His Arizona
and Butte Mines.

ANsoNlA, Conn, March pa dis
patch received here yesterday, datet
Butte, Mont, states that private infor
nation has been received in that city t.
the effect that w. A. Clark has pur
chased the large copper refinery ane
wire works and and brass foundery Of
William Wallace & Sons of this city
1t is said that the purchase price was
100000.
According to Thomas Wallace the an
nouncement of w. A. Clark's purchase
of that firms copper refinery and brass
works is premature. The Montana mill
ionsire lie at present in Europe, but he
has been in negotiation with Wallace
and there is a prospect that a deal will
be consummated.
The plant is a very extensive one, and
if it is purchased Mr.. Clark will have
succeeded in arranging TO refine the
product of his own mines. If he Sc
cures the plant in this city it is under
stood that he will mmence shipping
the matte from his United Verde mines
in Arizona to Ansonia at once, and that
those properties will be worked to about
their full capacity. The product of the
Butte Reduction works will also, no
doubt, be sent to Ansonia for final treat
ment.
The United Verde mines are second in
size and richness only to the Anaconda
mines, and by working these properties
and his new refinery to their full capac-
ity Mr.. Clark probably expects that his
output of copper will be large enough
to attract some notice in the copper
market.
Mr.. Clark is quoted as telling the news
papers that he produces more copper
than any one man in the world, and o
that he has a refinery as we'll as the
mines and smelter, he will be in a posi-
ton to play the string out.
The purchase of the refinery at An
sonia is in a direct line with Mr.. Clark's
intention, expressed some time ago to
make no more Investments in Montana
and to withdraw all of his interests from
that state in time. With his proposed
S5,OO0,00O mansion in New York, a re-
finery in Connecticut and his mines in
Arizona, Mr.. Clarke will find a large pro-
portion OF his investments outside OF
Montana. !

codes contained a provision creating the
office, but it required semi-annual exam
nations of so many offices and corpora
tons that it would have been impossible
for any man to have performed the
duties. The bill which the legislature
passed made the examinations annual
instead. of semi-annual, and allowed the
examiner an assistant. 1t passed the
senate without much trouble, but ran
against a snag in the house. 1t was de.
feated there once, but owing to the &C

who is appointed receiver of the Short
line. Three bills were brought by the

move Dillon's case from the Wyoming
court, leaving the court free to ratify
Egan's appointment by Judge Gilbert.
