rne waite estate.

An important hearing on motion to the
creditors of Henry c. Waite, insolvent, was
heard by Judge Baxter in the district court
last week. The motion was one for the
creditors to show cause if any there was,
why the allowance.of acertain sum should
not be settled upon as due from the Waite
estate to three fhis creditors. It will be
remembered that before the failure of Mr..
Waite, Assignee Lucas Kells, assignee of N.
P. Clarke and N. z. Clarke & Co., began
an action against Mr.. Waite alleging that he
was indebted in a large sum to the insol-
vents. A second suit was also commenced
by Mr.. Kells as assignee of N. P. Clarke, as
surviving member of the firm OF Clarke &
Mcclure and third suit was brought by
Kells as assignee of Clarke, as administrator
Of the estate Of Thos. Mcclure. These suits
aggregated claims of $43. 900 against Waite.
The latter had counter claim agaiis
Clarke, and also on some Of the items claimed
set up the statute of limitations as bar to
their collection. The matter has been much
discussed by the assignees and their attor-
neys and this method was adopted to bring
about speedy settlement of just how much
of the claims against the Waite estate should
be considered as valid liabilities against the
estate in the distribution Of the assets. There
was no contest in court yesterday and Judge
Baxter signed the order without objection
that $4,000 should be the amount. or
course, Assignee Kells cannot collect this full
amonnt from the Waite estate, but it will
share pro rata with the other creditors in the
distribution.-Journ Press.

Tits probable that the number of summer
schools under the supervision of the state de-
partment of public instruction will be cut
down during the year. The present indica-
tons are that there will be ten to twelve less
sessions, making work for thirty to forty few
er teachers. than has usually been the case.
TIL: reason is that the annual holding of the
institutes requires to much work, not only
f on the institute conductors, but from the
teachers who attend, and who spend the rest
of the year in their school work. For this
reason, probably, about dozen OF the coun-
try superintendent will not ask to have dates
assigned them this year.

DEB'S RECRUITS.
Host of Dissatisfied Glass Workers at
 Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 24.-The French and Belgian glass workers at Arnold, Pa., near here, met last night and de- cided to join Debs' social democ. acy On March 1 next the men will leave and about a month later the entire colony of nearly 600 persons will fol- low
 The workmen complain that here in the east the glass industry is so un- certain and the market so fuctuating that they are working only about half the year and so average better wages in the old country. On the western coast they think they would have an absolutely new field and materials for glass manufacture abound there The glass workers will have some money, each of them having saved up from $20O to $2,O0O, and it is the.r plan to put their individual earnings into a large four tank cooperative glass plant.

San Francisco, Nov. 24.+Hon. Nor ris M Estee of this city today received a letter and certain important docu ments from Secretary of War Russell A. Alger relative to the harbor at San Pedro. An opinion handed down by the judge advocate general for the war department explains the cause of delay in proceeding with work on the harbor This is due to an oversight of congress, so the judge advocate says, in providing an appropriation of money sufficient to meet the prelimi nary expenses, such as advertising, etc.
 The question is, Shall the sum of $2,900, ,00O, the total appropriation, be expended in the building of the har- bor of refuge or breakwater, 1eav- ing the harbor for commerce for some future appropriations" Congress has not made itself clear upon this point and the secretary of war will endeavor to determine the point by asking the opinion of the attorney-general.
 Under the statutes" continues the opinion of the judge advocate, mo of ficial of the United States can do any thing unless expressly directed to do so." Unfortunately the secretary of war cannot go on with the harbOr work because the act of congress does not require him to do so and worse yet there has been no money appropriated for preliminary expenses. The judge advocate general concludes by ex- pressing hope that the matter may be remedied at the next session.

SOMETHING WILL BE DONE"
Believes There Will Be Remedial
 Currency Legislation

Washington, Nov. 24-Senator Proc tor of Vermont, who has arrived in the city, said today that he believed congress, during the coming session, would pass bill looking to a revision of the currency system of the country. While the step in this direction" he said, twill not be a great one, or one which will be satisfactory to those who believe that the situation de- mands radical action, I think that something will be done which will aid in relieving the situation as regards the imperfect condition of our bank ing and currency systems. There is no doubt that the Hawaiian treaty will be ratified by the senate. The necessary Hwo-thirds vote is assured, and I think this matter will be one of the first disposed of by the sen ate.''

CURRENCY REFORM.
The Presidents Message Will Recom-
 mend New Legislation.

Washington, Nov. 24.-The Even. sg Star today says: It can be stated on high authority that the president is going to recommend a plan for cur rency reform in his message, and fur ther than that, part of the message was written with the cooperation of Secretary Gage. It is authoritah.vely stated that Secretary Gage is perfectly satisfied with the presidents message in regard to financial legislation and it meets his entire views and approval. Further than this it can be stated on the same high authority that the sec retary of the treasury will submit to congress in his annual report the plan for currency reform which he submitted to the cabinet at its meet ing on Friday, October 20.
 The secretary intends to submit this report to congress in almost the same shape it was submitted to the cab inet, with the exception that he will make more recommendations, but they will not materially chaN.je the plan already announced.
 When asked today to give his opin- ion as to the probability of legisla- tion affecting currency during the ap- preaching session of congress, Seratcc Teller, who has just reached the city, said: "I do not believe there will be any legislation looking to the substi- tuition of the bank notes for grean- backs and treasury notes, which ap- pears to be the favorite mode of cur rency reform, so-called, advocated by supporters of the gold standard. I think it very doubtful whether the ad- vocates of change can agree upon the details of such legislation and bankers will naturally hesitate to in crease the issue of bank notes in a sufficient quantity to take the place of the entire volume of greenbacks and treasury notes"

expenses and reducing operating forces. Eastern capitalists were go- ing into the scheme to buy up the dis tilleries throughout Kentucky and about 30 per cent of those in the stare had agreed to the proposed scheme.
 The reason now alleged for the fail ure of the project is that the eastern financiers were frightened off because they learned that the Kentucky dis tillers had listed the distilleries at figures far beyond their real value.
