Sherman, interrupting Mr.. Hale, said
that before single batJle was fought,
the governments Of Spain, France and
England recognized the belligerency of
the Con!ederates in language identical
with the first clause Of the resolution
submitted in the conference report.
"Were they acting rightly" asked Mr.
Hoar.
'No, I think not" Mr.. Sherman an
swer ed, "but wo have waited a long
time, have seen these atrooious acts com

MIR. Hale said he dreaded war. The

pie was not, he believed, for war nor did
he believe the United States was pre-

FORCED TO THE WALL.

Large Creditor COinpels the Appoint
ment of a Receiver for the Monon Rail-
way System.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 25.-Suit was
fled Monday in the United States cir
cult court asking that a receiver be ap-
pointed for the Louisville, New Albany
& Chicago railroad, better known as
the Monon system. Rumors had been
flying thick and fast in railroad circles
during the past week, to the effect that
the Monon was liable to go into re-
ceivership, but the reports were denied
by the Monon officials as rapidly as
they bobbed up. Yesterday morning
Judge Woods came down from Chicago
and the rumors were confirmed when,
shortly after noon, a receivership suit
was filed by John T. Mills, of New
York, by his attorney, Harry Craw-
ford, of Chicago.
After stating that the company OPP
crates 537 miles of road from Chicago
to Louisville, the complaint says that
the company has lease for 300 years
of the Chicago g. Western Indiana
railroad, on which, it alleges, the Mo-
non owes $1,OOO,OOO. The other in
debtedness of the road is alleged to
be $1S, 100000 in and 6per cent. bonds
secured by a first mortgage ON the
main line. 1t is then alleged that in
1889 and 1890 the board of directors,
without authority from the stockhold-
ers and contrary to law, placed upon
each OF the 81, 1S5, 900 per cent first
mortgage bonds Endorsements signed
by the defendant to guarantee to the
bondholders the payment OF the prin-
cipal and interest Of such bonds.
1t is also alleged that the earnings
for the year have fallen short SGO,OO0
per month as compared with former
years; that dangerous litigation is
threatened In three states because of
the Monon's inability to meet it's obli-
cations, and that unless the court
takes custody of the road suits will be
brought, attachments issued, the rights
of bondholders imperiled and the earn
ing ability of the road greatly dimin-
ished.
Judge Woods, without hearing,
signed an order appointing William
McDoel, of Chicago, receiver.
NEW YORK, Aug. :5.-Gen. Samuel
Thomas, president Of the Louisville,
New Albany & Chicago Railroad Co.,
says that the Beattyvill' branch line
litigation is the reason for seeking the
protection OF the courts Mr.. McDoel
is vice president and general manager
as well as receiver of the company.

ladies on the verandas. Both the adven-
turers wore russet leggings, which seem
to go well with short-skirted cos
tunes, especially here where briars do
abound, and where even the men are
beginning to find them a welcome addi-
ton to their ordinary costume.
1t is the wilderness, but only 10
hours or so from New York and week
from Paris, and we have evening gowns
on parade, fresh from either city, such
as one in white satin embroidered in
silver sequins, pearls and brilliants
which 1 particularly noted because it
was extremely up to date and because
its bodice was short and sharp pointed,
because the sleeves were like little short
capes sofconsiderablec circumference and
because an embroidered band followed
the line of the low decolletage and was
upheld by two similar bands over the
shoulders, and principally do l record
the fact that the skirt was almost as
richly decked as the bodice.
But for the most part the swell cos
tunes affected here in the woods are
day gowns. There are wonderful white
costumes and there are marvellous para
soils with gemmed handles and wilder
nesses Of lace upon their roofs. There
are the new shoes, slightly less pointed
than the old, and hence, for the average
foot, really smaller in appearance.
The most delightful excuse for flirta-
tion is lake trout fishing. Because if
you catch one he may weigh 20 pounds
and make you famous, and If you don't
you must row very slowly across only
the very deepest parts of the lakes, with
n very long line letting the hook sink
well to the bottom where, in the cooler
water, the big fellows lurk. And in
this slow progression eye can meet eye

The pickerel fishing on Round lake is

there is a considerable colony of in
valids-has been since Robert Louis
Stevenson stayed here-but after the
18th of August they are all at once
quite outnumbered by the big, manly
fellows, in fore-and-aft caps and yell
low leggins and bclted blouses, with
even more than the usual masculine
profusion of pockets, who come to
chase the forest deer and "kill them
up," as Jaques puts it. Nowhere else
will you see so many fine men at once,
save on the Thames just before regatta
week, before the crowd of 'Arries ap-
pears on the scene.
1t is a wilderness strangely modified.
One hundred miles from east to west
its magic circle covers, 1919 miles from
north to south, like big round green
button sewn on mother earth, but it is
now third by railroads, much of the
way running through game preserves
where the unscared fawns poke their
noses through the wire fence and gaze
wide-eyed at the passing portcnt and
there are big hotels galore, so tl,at even
in the heart of the mighty woods the
seven-Saratogaed daughter of the sirens
can display all her finery.

self shoots deer, is fortunately rare

deer, for, as | said, the woman Diana
seldom shoots.
