New YORK, Nov. 3O-In regard to the
reported settlement of the Gould Nico-

was involved and which it is said has
been settled by the payment by George
Gould of $4,000 iu cash TO Zella Nico-

most extraordinary statement Act

statement from me would be improper
and I can not, nor do intend to make
one"
The World publishes story purport-
ing to give the true facts regarding the
$4,000 check which ZelIa Nicolaus al
leges George Gould took from her and
failed TO return. 1t says:
Several Chicago mansions were hired
and furnished by clubs of rich New
Workers. during the Worlds fair One
of the heirs to Jay Gould's fortune was a
member of one of these clubs. He had
the right to a certain very handsome
house for two months, beginning with
the middle OF May, 1893. While he was
living there in splendor he met Zella
Nicolaus.
'sThe joint heir of Jay Gould got on
exceedingly well with the beautiful blue
eyed baby-faced Zslla, and by the first
of July they were exceedingly good
friends In the first week of July he re-
ceived check for $4,000 from New
York. It represented his share of the
interest on Missouri Pacific bonds for the
first six months of 1893, and was his in
come for half year under the will of
the late Jay Gould.
at is not stated how the check, proper
ly indorsed on the back by its owner,
came into Miss Nicolaus' possession. She
swears that 1t was given to her freely.
The owner says she took it. At all events
the next day she appeared at the window
of the receiving teller of a Chicago ma
tional bank.
"'I wish to open an account she said.
and as a beginning wish to deposit this
check
1.-The receiving teller took the check,
looked at the amount, looked at ZelIa.
looked at the Endorsement, looked at
Zella, then consulted with the cashier.
The upshot of the matter was that Zslla
was invited into the private office of the
president. He questioned her politely,
acknowledged her offers to bring any
number of people to identify her, and then
regretfully told her that he would have
to ask her to bring the Gould heir, whose
name was on the face and also on the
back of the check. Zella thanked him
and went away. New York banks would
not touch it.
SIN despair she went to George Gould.
He took the check, gave her $500 'on
account and told her to come back the
next day for the remainder.
Gould sent for Byrnes and Byrnes
scared Zella out of the country for
time"

BLOODSHED.

Currie Orders the GuarGship Dryad Back
From ConstantinOpIe After All.
CoNsrANT1NoPLR, Nov. 30.-After all
the war.ike talk of yesterday, the Brit
ish ambassador, Sir Philip Cur
rie, has backed down. and the
Sultan and his palace advisers
are triumphant The British gunboat
Dryad, ordered from Salonica bay by
Admiral Culme- Seymour, at the request
of Sir Philip Currie, has been ordered
back to Salonica.
Following the repeated threats of fore
ing the passage of the Dardanelles if the
sultan persisted in refusing to allow
the extra gun boats to enter the Bosphor-
US, this looks very much as if Abdul
Hamid and his advisers were well in
formed when they persisted in hold
ing out against the reprensen atives of
Great Britain, Russia, Italy and Austria,
believing that they were justified in so
doing on the ground that the powers are
not in accord as so frequently claimed
and officially stated and that the dissent
ing powers were behind Abdul Hamid
in the stand taken.

MR.. ROBINSON HERE.

Says No Change Will BE Made in OfaciaIs
of the Road.
D. 3. Robinson, the newly elected first
vice president of the reorganized Santa
Fe system, arrived in Topeka this morn
ing in his private car.
He was seen there by a JOURNAL re-
porter.
When asked concerning tho probable
action of the reorganization committee
in the selection of a board of directors
and chairman of the board, Mr.. Robin
son stated he, or no other person outside
of the committee, knew anything about
the matter.
In regard to the rumor that Mr.. W. Z
Gillette would be appointed second vice
president, Mr.. Robinson said that, in his
opinion, Mr.. Gillette's name had never
been considered in connection with the
position
In speaking about the present condi-
tion of the road, he said: "The road at
present is in very prosperous condition.
much better than it was when it went
into the hands of the receivers We
are improving it right along, and
will continue to do so' Mr.. Rob-
inson stated that President Ripley, Mr..
Morawetz and himself would probably
attend the sale of the road on Dec. 10,
and that the reorganization committee
expected to take charge of the road by
Jan. l, as by commencing at that date
all mixing up of the accounts would be
avoided.
When asked if any change would be
made in the officials of the road. Mr..
Robinson said emphatically, mo sir, no
change will be made whatever. Mr..
Ripley will tako charge of the road as
president and will look after no especial
department:''
Mr.. Robinson is also quoted as saying.
ut is not probable the new officials
will begin work before the first OF the
coming year. In the first place, they
cannot begin until after the sale of the
road. This will take place at Topeka,
Dec. TO-, the date having been extended
from Dec 5. After the sale it will
take about ten days for the transfer of
the property from the receivers to the
new company. That would tx the date at
the nearest at Dec. 20. 1t is probable how
ever. Judge. Caldwell will be
asked to allow the receivers
to remain in control of the road
until January l, 1896. That will avoid
the division of the books for Decembe
aud simplify matters for both the receiv.
ers and the new management"
Mr.. Robinson is on his way to Calves
ton on an inspection tour and will leave
early tomorrow morning on a special
train.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 3O.-The fact
that the best seats at the academy for
Senator David B. Hills lecture were held

the prices were too high, but that it was
something over which he had no control,
