Washington special says: The assign
ment of two additional warships to
the Mediterranean fleet is accepted as
strong eviden;c zee of some expected de
cisive move on the part of some of
the European powers in dealing with
the Turkish situation, and while it is
not admitted even yet that the Ban
croft, which sailed today, is under or
ders to proceed to the Bosporus, there
is no longer the slightest question of
her commission and that the Admins
tration proposes that she shall be the
United States guard ship of CONSTANT
nople, whether the Porte grants the
necessary firman or refuses it.

Great Failures In Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 15.ZWithin an
hours this morning FIVE CON
Germs with assets aggregating
$S00,000 made assignments in
the county courts. Or the five
concerns two were small in vol
ume. These are Henry NJ.
Hosick, a wool dealer and the
Chicago and Western Soap
works. The assets of Mr..
Hosick were placed at 500, 900
and liabilities at $125,O 900. Those
of the soap company are esti-
mated at $50, 900 and so. 600 re-
spectively. The other concerns
were the Chicago Consolidated
Iron and Steel company mt Har-
vey, H., which assigned with
assets of $500, 600 and liabilities
somewhat less. Louis Sievers
a Sons, Wholesale liquor deal
ers, with assets of $4,000 and
liabilities of $4,000 and George
Oberne & Co., tanners and hide
dealers, assets 100000 and lia-
bilities $125,OO0.
The first assignment made
was that Of George Oberne *
Co. This concern has been in
business since 1868. Its assets
ieonsist largely of real estate
and personal property. The
assets of the firm is in good con
dition and the creditors will
likely be satisfied with a pay
ment in full of their claims.
The others will not do so well,
but there will be no heavy loss
to any of the creditors. The
failures in each instance were
caused by poor business and
the tightness of the money mar
/ ket.
