gold or coin bonds will be given to secure
the loan, nothing definite can be predict.

markets. There is difference of opinion
here as to the reception the London mar.
ket would give oven to the new bonds
bearing per cent interest, but it is
significant that whereas few day S age
all idea of taking part of the issue was
secuted, such action is now discussed as
= probability.
The Times today repeats the report that

issue at a satisfactory price.
The Statist holds that In any case the
bonds will not be offered in Europe
The Economist says that short-dated
three per cent coin bonds would certain
ly not be taken up in London. and, al :
though they were placed in the United
States, the treasury would be unable to
retain the gold realized by this sale, as
it hitherto has been unable to retain the
proceeds of former emissions.
The Daily News, in it's financial article
today, takes the view that per cent
gold loan would be taken here. The
view Is now the leading one entertained
iu the city, where the disposition grows
to consider the loan purely on it's merits.

An eminent financial authority told

THE LAST LINK.
The Windham Woods Give Up Their
Dead.
ROSE DOLLEy'S SUPPOSED CHILD
rs FOUND.

Near the Road-Searchers Had Passed
Over the Place Many Times-Waiter L.
Leighton Found the Baby.
A body supposed to be that of the muir
dered child of Rose Dolly is now at the
undertaking rooms Of s. S. Rich & Son,
and Coroner Eben N. Perry will today
hold an inquest. The body WAS found
by Walter L. Leighton of Windham,
who has been the most persistent search
er for it, and who has all along insisted
that it could not be far from the road.
As a matter OF fact 1t was found about
third of mile from the main road,
and in the section of the..woods through
which the halforazed girl was known to
have wandered that fearful night.
The discovery was a matter of chance.
Mr. Leighton had made up his mind to
give up the search, but yesterday con-
cluded that he would try once more, and

then drove to Portland and informed
Sheriff Plummer of the discovery, and
the sheriff with Coroner Perry and Depu-
ty Sheriff Firth, went to Windham and
brought back the body. The remains
were in sort CT natural grave, and it

cause, as there were no external marks

mer and Mr.. Firth removed it, taking
care to take out ice and all from the
little depression. Thsre is some clothing
on the body, but the dress is lacking, and
it will be remembered that the dress was
the first thing that was found.
Sheriff Plummer and Deputy Firth were
astonished that after all, the body had
been found just where the first search
was made for it. 1t lay there close by

which it had been thought had been
thoroughly searched. Sheriff Plummer

GERMAN CONFIDENCE.
A Reaction In Favor of American
Securities.

Germans Take No Stock in War Talk
Even Conservative Investors Have Been
Buyers of American Stocks.
Berlin, Decembe 29.-1he reaction
toward confidence in the future Of
American finances, especially affecting
international monetary relations, has
been surprisingly rapid within the last
few days. Berlin and Frankfort took the
lead of London in speculative buying of
American stocks, and operators here have
on the whole, have benefited by the SELL
ing which was done in LONDON. At no
time during Wall street panic, have the
German boucses been so much influenced
as was the English market. The buying
set in earlier here and even investors took
a change in securing stocks at low
values.
Ihe bourse closed notably firm on Sat
urdav after considerable buying OF
American railroad securities. The course
OF operations here, gives evience of the
decreasing influence Of London upon
matters of finance in which German
tinanniers or investors are interested
Finanoiers are no longer inclined to
market as q good guide in important
monetary enterprise, at the present
moment.
1t is not forgotten how Germany alb
scrbed the American loans at low values
during the war of the American rebellion
when the bonds were almost unstable in
London. So now when English financial
houses seem to hesitate over the reception
of new bond issue, the Washington gov.
ernment If it is desirous of having foreign
markets, take part in the loan, might
find German firms prepared to negotiate
the reliefshere, in the permanance OF
peace between the United States and
Great Britain is absolute and genera
opinion is for a steadily improving mar
ket of American securities.

THE SENATE
Will Be At Oncs Organized by Repub1i-
cans.

Washington, December 29.-"he re-
Senate will be effected tomorrow blythe
passage Of resolution to be introduced
by Mr.. Mitchell, chairman of the Repub-
lican steering committee In violation of
precedent for number of years past,
a yea and nay vote will be taken upon ,
the adoption of the resolution. The Dem
ocrats say they intend to show the coun-
try that the Republicans have more votes
in the Senate than the Democrats and
theref fore are entitled to take control, but
there is Suspicion that the Democrats
by this vote to be able to show deal
made by the Republicans with. the Pop
ulists.
The Republicans meet this argument
with the statement that they have per-
mitted Populists to remain just where
they were, under Democratic admins
tration of the Senate, and the charge of
"deap' no more applies now, than
against the Democrats when they assum o
the control.
The reorganization win not go i nto
effect practically, until after Wednesday
and clerks have been paid their salaries
for Decem ber. Besides the re-organiza-
tion resolution, an address by Mr.. Lodge
is on the programme for Monday, on the
resolution now on the table, relative to
the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine.
Mr.. Lodge, who is an ardent advocate
of a strict enforcement of that doctrine,
will mabe a strong speech and command
the attention of the Senate and the
country. 1t is understood he will go
deeply into this subject and review the
historical matters out of which it grew
and the cases in which it has been applied
by this government.
The Senate will indulge after tomor-
rows session, in three days recess, un-
til the holiday session is over. The new
tariff bill is now before the finance COM
mittea meeting, of that body called for

delay in reporting the bill back to the
Senate, it is not probable that the report
will be made before the end of next week

nammerstein the German Socialist
Is Caught.
1T TOOK CONSIDERABLE STRATEGY
TO GET HIM.
The Governments Course is vindicated
and Conservatives Will Now Breathe
Easier-Berlin Has the Prospect OF a
Very Racy Political Scandal,

Berlin, December 29-The capture Of
Baron Won Hammerstein, the former
editor of Kruz Zeitung, who absconded
ander charges Of forgery and embezzle-
ment, created tremendous sensation in
political and social circles when his
arrest became known. Saturday One of
the chief weapons of the socialist press
and socialist parliamentary leaders has
consisted Of insinuations that the govern
ment connived at Hammerstein' escape,
and frowned upon all genuine attempts
to bring him back, in order to prevent
disclosures affecting the conservative sup
porters Of the government. The capture
of Hammerstein has taken the wind out
of the sails of the socialist craft, and
rendered Hamlnerstein's letters which
the socialists were holding over the heads
Of many conservative members Of the
Reichstag, almost if not wholly value less
u terrorizng measures.
There never has been moment since
the government has not been unosasing IN
it's endeavors to find him and bring him
back to justice. The political police
uracked HIM through Switzerland and
Italy and finally spotted him as he was
landing from steamer at Piraeus. port
of Athens. The police commissaries
watched him closely during the entire
time occupied in making applications in
secret to the Greek government for his
surrender. The government of Greece
does not extradite culprits except for
capital offences, but under pressure from
Berlin, the Athens authorities took ad-
dvanlage of Hammerstein's having re-
corded himself as "Wiiliam Herbart,'' to
expel him from the kingdom as an
anarchist suspect. Han merstein was
compelled to leave and EN- parked ons the
steamer for Birndlsi. The German police
also took the steamer, and tho moment
the vessel sailed, Commissary Wolf of the
Berlin political police. placed him under
arrest.
The conduct of the government in the
Hammersteln matter having been vindi-
Gated, the police will be allowed a free
hand to pursue their plans of socialist
repression, while the conversatives, no
Longer deferred by socialist menaoes of
damaging revelations, will urge re-
pressiye measures in the Reichstag. Ber-
lin has a prospect oil all extremely raoy
scandal season, between the Hammerstein
case and revelations contained in the
Won Kotze documents, which are in
possession of Frizt Friedman, the ab-
soonding Berlin lawyer. According to
current report Fried mann is now in Lon
don, where he has prepared pamphlet
attacking high legal and political persons
which he threatens to publish if the Ger
man authorities molest him anywhere.
1t is understood that friedman wants a
formal permit to return to Germany,
nominally incognito, to settle his affairs,
and is now negotiating with the proper
authorities in Berlin to that end

A DEVILISH CENSORSHIP.
Which FaIsifies ALI the Turkish Pa
pers' Utterances.

Editorials Written at the Palace and Tele-
grams Wrung From Bleeding Armen-
ians-TerreIl Again Interferes to Pro-
tect Americans.
London, December 29.-The oorrespon-
dent of the United Press at Constantino-
pie sends the following under yester-
days date: Continuous publication
and circulation of official fasehoods
together with a parricade against the
truth in every avenue Of publicity, has
kerome one of the most dangerous ele-
ments of the present situation at Con-
stantipople. A censorship of the Turkish
press exists. Latterly, its sole object
has been to suppress facts and compel
the publication of "editGrial'' relative
to Armenians, which are prepared at the
palace, and "telegrams'' written under
physical compulsion by wretched Arme-
niaD prisoners i'll the dungeons of A ST.
attic Turke !.
The result of this use of the press is
that the Mohammedan populace, eve
moderately educated gentlemen, at Con
stantinople, find the chief reason for dis
content with the Sultan in his failure to
order the destruction of Christians gen.
orally. They suppose the Armenians of
Asiatic Turkey have murdered and
pillaged great mum bers of Moslems; that
reserves have been called into field to
punish and reduce to order the Armeni-
ans; that European powers have inter
vened to prevent the restoration of order
that foreign gunboats come to the Bos-
phorus to encourage the Christians in
their insurreotiotl. The deduction made
from this mass Of error is that the Chris
tians are preparing to massacre the Mos
lens and therefore the Muslems must first
massacre the Christians
Missionaries at Marsovan telegraphed
Mr.. Terrell, the American minister de-
claring that the guards furnished by the
authorities for their protection are not
trustworthy and that in consequence
their lives are and property were in
danger.
MIR. Terrell telegraped Mr.. Jewett the
American consul at Sivas, instructing
him to go to Marsovan, if possible. Yes.
terday Mr.. Jewett replied it was impos-
sible for him to leave Siavs, as an out
break was threatened in that place. Mr.
Terrell Then visited the Porte where his
representations resulted in an order being
sent to the military commander at Mar
sovan, to substitute regular soldiers for
the guards detailed to protect the
Americans.

COMMUNICATIONS FROM PROF.
ROBINSON ARE SERIOUS.
The Chi1d's Body Exhumed Under Direc-
tion of County Attorney-Further Ex-
animation To Be Made-A Jury Impan-
nelIed.


1t will be remembered that some thl ee
weeks ago child If Mrs. Blanche S.
Partridge of Freeport, died suddenly un-
der circumstances which led to the call
ing of a coroner, and that the stomach
was sent by his order to Professor Robin
son of Bowdoin College. A report was
received from him Saturday, of such a
nature as to cause County Attorney True,
Sheriff Plummer, DR.. Thompson and
Coroner Littlefeld to drive to Freeport
where the county attorney directed that
the body of the child should be taken
up, and the kidneys were removed by
DR.. Thompson of Portland and Dr.. Smith
of Freeport and they will be sent to Pro
lessor Robinson.
County Attorney True could not con-
sent last night to make public the letter
from Professor Robinson, deeming that
such a disclosure at this time would be
a grave mistake he did not propose to
make but the serious nature Of the letter
was sufficiently indicated by. the fact that
under the direction of the county attor-
ney, Coroner L1ttlefield empannelled the
following jury: J. r. Gould, foreman, G..
c. Wiggin, Geo. A.. Miller, P. L. Denni-
son, e. G. Hyde VIM. A. Davis.
The jury viewed the remains and then
adjourned until January 18th to await
the final report to be made by Professor
Robinson. Mrs Partridge was not made
a party to the proceedings in any way
yesterday, but in tine afternoon was out
riding with her husband. She met with
fearful accident some years ago and her
mental condition is in some doubt. At
times she has been for years . victim
to mental depression, but otherwise and
at other times is kind-hearted woman,
and one, as her friends and neighbors be-
lieve. incapable.o of the commission of a
crime.

Mrs. Weeks Got Mad and Accused the
Doctor of Assault-Now the Woman
Sues Him for Borrowed Money.
Old Orchard, December 2S.-In the af-
ternoon 81 ssion of court yesterday a
rather sensational assault case came up.
DR.. N. j. Weeks was the accused and
his wife, Lucy Ann Weeks, the com
plainant. The doctor came to this place
few months ago and settled on Wash
lngton street with his wife, whom he
took great care to have known as his
mother. He picked up sorne practice here
but had most calls in Saoo where be had

widow and went so far as to become en-
gagged to her. The exposure came on
Thursday morning when the Doctor
brought the widow to his Old Orchard
home 10 get the consent of his mo hero
TO their marriage. Before the Doctor
brought the young widow to his house he
had told his wife that this Saco lady had
$1,000 in the bank and if he married her
the money would be theirs. So when
the widow made her visit Mrs. Weeks
commenced to question her as to her
bank account, and on finding out there
was only about $500 on deposit, Mrs.
Weeks got angry and gave her identity
away. Mr.. Weeks in the meantime had
oomo into the room and finding his wife
gave their relations away he put his
hand over his wifes' month and tried to
stop the flow of oratory but the damage
was done. Mrs. Weeks at once swore out
warrant for her husbands arrest for

When the case came up in court, the
complainant rose and wanted to know
what the cost would be for her to settle
as she thought she had wronged her hus-
band, and she wanted to withdraw all
charges which she had made against him,
But the climax came when she said !:
Won't you let him go? Take me in his
place and punish me with him." When
the judge informed her that she could
withdraw her complaint by paying costs,
she said: 81 have not a cent In the
world, but here is my wedding ring and
pin Won't some one assist me?'
Herr the doctor had his word and said :
''You better sit down. You have do e
enough now.'
He then asked the court if it mattered
who paid the costs, and being informed
it didn't, he paid the fine.
No sooner was this done then he was
arrested q second time on capias writ
for debt. This debt was due to Mrs. Hale
and was money loaned. What the out
come of this action will be could not be
ascertained.

st. Louis, December 29.-Justice David
). Brewer, of the United States Supreme
court, passed through this city today en-
route to Washington from San Antonio,
Texas, where he has been at the bedside
OF sick daughter.
Judge Brewer stated that the report
that he had been asked to accept a place
on the Venezuelan commission was un-
true. He said: 81 would not be sur
prised if Chief Jutice Fuller were
rendered place on tho commission. He
and the President are warm friends. The
Chief Justice would make an excellent
man for the place, but do not think he
would accept the position. His duties
would then be to great for any man.
AS to Gensral Harrison, do not think
that he would accept position on the
commission. He can probably make
more money out of his law practice, and
not do such hard work, aud then (al-

candidate. The fact that he held place
on this commission would not help his
candidacy. If he were II candidate he

commission.
