REMAINS TO ARRIVE TODAY
FUNERAL OF GEORGE A. BUTEEE
TO TAKEPL4CE MONDAY.

The Services Will BE Held Mt the Trinity
Episcopal Church-The Body is Expect
ed in This City Shortly After Noon To-
day-Expressions of Sorrow.
The news of the death OF George A.
Butler cast a gloom over many hearts.
Men who had long been associated with
him in business and had known him So
cially expressed the intensity of their
feelings in sympathetic and sorrowing
terms yesterday morning.
Though the deceased had not been
well for some time ne had attended to
the duties of his position as president
of the bank with which he was con-
nected, as well as his other personal A.
nanclal interests. He had left the work
temporarily to other hands, while he
took a short trip to the south in the
hope that a change in the climate and
of scenes would build up his strength.
On Wednesday last Mr.. Butler tele-
graphed the bank that he would be
home on Thursday morning.
letter had been mailed previous
to this saying that he had not received
as much benefit from the visit as he
hoped, because of the extreme hot
weather. The letter was cheerful and
full of hope, that as the writer neared
the city he had so long called home and
with whose interest he had been so long
identified, strength would fully return.
In consequence of these hopeful tidings
all We're wholly unprepared for the an
nouncement of Mr.. Buffers death.
The remains are expected to arrive
at Jersey City about / o'clock to-day,
and will be sent Immediately to this
city The funeral service will be held
at Trinity Episcopal church Monday at
$3.50 p. m.
Mr.. William H. Warner, who was on
the same train as Mr. Butler, but did
not know of the presence of the de-
ceased, said last evening that he heard
of the illness of some one, from his
fellow passengers, but did not ascer-
tain the name of the person. At
Florence Mr.. Warner inquired further
of the conductor to find that the sick
man was none other than Mr.. Butler,
and that he had died.
Mr.. Warner regretted exceedingly
that he had not known OF his fellow
townsman's illness.
George A. Butler was one of New
Haven's self-made men, having climbed
successfully from the position of clerk
in Russell Clarks store, a place he
took when he first came to this city,
to the head of one of the best known
banking institutions of the state.

Mr.. Camps Requests,

The bequests by the will of Hon.
Hiram Camp to the City Missionary as
sociation and to the Organized Chari-
ties were not correctly given in the
summary recently published. The val
uation of the property given to the
City Missionary association was over
$4,000 and to the Organized Charities
$500 and the amounts lately published
1900 to the Missionary association and
So, $50 to the charities were the sums
accepted by them at the request of the
daughters of Mr.. Camp, who felt he had
given by his will an undue proportion
OF his property. These amounts were
paid in cash to the two organizations
mentioned more than a year ago and in
each case appropriated, as was under
stood to be Mr.. Camps desire, to their
building funds. .-

PREDICTIONS BY MANLEY
HE SAYS THATTHEO OHIO GOVERNOR
WILL NOT GETTHERE.

mckinley VIII Go Down Before the Man
From Maine He Says-The Situation is
Precisely as it Was Twenty Years Ago,
and History VIII Repeat Itself.
Washington, March 27.-J. H. Manley
ksent out the following:
|Hon. w, Murray Crane, Republican
State Convention, Boston:
j In answer to your inquiry this is the
Situation as it will stand at the end OF
= this week. At the close of your con-
vention there will have been S9S dele
gates elected. Governor Mckinley VIII
have 1862 delegates, provided you assign
to him the entire delegation from Wis
consin, Indiana and Minnesota. But
fthere should be taken from this number
#Welve delegates from these states VINO
have declared in favor of Mr.. Reed and
as they were not instructed they should
be taken from the Mckinley column
and placed in Mr.. Reeds. This gives
mckinley 150 delegates; Mr.. Reed ~;
Governor Morton "a; Senator Allison
90, SGUdlOI S&uey ~, ShiAcAii ~ - -
will see that this gives Mr.. Mckinley
$50 delegates against 210 anll-.IcKinley
delegates.
The situation is precisely as it was
twenty years ago. You will remember
that three months before the conven-
tion met at Cincinnati we were conf
dent of Mr.. Blaine's nomination. He
stood then as the apostle of protection,
but he had opposed to his nomination
Senator Conkling of New York, Senator
Morton of Indiana, Secretary Bristow of
Kentucky, Governor Hayes of Ohio, and
Governor Hartranft Of Pennsylvania.
I'VE felt so sure of Mr. Blaine's nomin-
|ation that we regarded it as settled
land yet he was defeated in the con-
{vention and the Maine man went down
before the Ohio governor. History will
repeat itself at st. Louis Governor
mckinley is and will be the leading
candidate in the convention, but he will
have opposed to him as candidates Gov
ernor Morton of New York, Senator
Allison of Iowa, Senator Cullom, Sena-
tor Quay and Mr.. Reed.
You will find that the tables will be
turned and the Ohio governor will go
down before the man from Maine.
(Signed) }. IA. MANLE4.

and began to strangie her. She man.

There has been a decided Frightening up
In the money market of the country the
past week. Another favorable New York
bank statement and further increase in the
supply of gold doing much towards reliey-
ing the stringency in the loan market that
has been SO noticeable all summer. The
New York bank statement of last Saturday
showed an increase of loans of s2624, 800; in
specie of $1,470,200; in legal tenders of ST.
$1,000; in deposits of s6,364,OOO, and in the
surplus reserve of s2.S10,0OO, making it now
Slb,oZ2,U2o above the % per cent rule. There
was also less money called to the country
1or crop moving purposes, and there was
more disposition to put money out on new
loans at the East than for months and
rates OF discount have eased down percep-
ubly. This has been especially noticeable
IN the time money market where there has
been more money offering than any time
since last spring. Boston reports the money
market quiet and Philadelphia easy. At
Baltimore money was also in light demand.
At Cincinnati the situation has very much
improved, money said to be in good sup
ply and easily obtainable. In coming fur
ther west easier loan markets are found
in Chicago and st. Louis and rates of dis
count hardly SO strong. Here at Kansas
City money is in good supply and the banks
are taking good care of their customers,
