PRIIADELPHIA BANK FAILURES,
Tho Conference Selected 10 Formulate a
PIam Makes Its Reports.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec, 2T--The
conference selected to formulate plan
OF settlement OF the affairs OF the
Chestnut street national bank and the
Chestnut Street Trust and Savings
Fund Company, of which william NJ.
slngerly, proprietor OF the Record, was
president, and which closed their doors
last Thursday, tonight presented that
plan for the consideration OF depositors
and creditors.
The chief measure suggested Is the
issuance OF Record stock tU secure the
creditors. The plan Is prefaced by a
statement that ut must be clear TO all
concerned that in no such case can
creditors OF the bank, OF the trust COM
pany, OF the pulp and paper company,
and OF Mr.. Slugerly himself, realize
more than the total value OF the assets
and rights OF these corporations In ad-
dltion to those Of Mr. Slngerly indlvid-
uatiy. No matter how protracted, or
expensive possible assignments and re-
ceiverships may be made, the creditors
cannot receive more than the total Of
all assets less the cost and expenses
which will be incidental form Of such
administration. The fact, however, not
at Hrst sight so obvious. though It more
and more impresses itself upon us, Is
that owing to the peculiar nature of
the properties to be handled a lack
OF good judgment In their management
win result in the receipt bY the credi-
tors OF less than the present and prob
ably OF much less than the ultimate
value thereof.

Dan A. Stuart, the man who after
three years hard work finally got Fitz-
simmons and Corbett together and made
new worlds champion, arrived from
the north yesterday and is domiciled at
the Hollenbeck.
Mr. Stuart was seen by Herald re-
porter yesterday afternoon. He is a
big man, physically, with a good-na-
tured, kindly face, and about the last
person in the world who would be
picked out as a pugilistic manager. He
still shows signs of the severe strain
under which he has been laboring for
so many months, to say nothing of his
severe illness at Carson, and will prob
ably remain in the city and vicinity for
some days to recuperate.
When asked about the great fight,
which has caused more. talk than any
event in the history of pugilism, Mr..
Stuart said that from a pugilistic point
of view it was the greatest contest in
the annals of the prize ring. The vic
tory Of Fitzsimmons was a surprise to

him and most others. He always knew
that Fitzsimmons was a great fighter
and that he was a dangerous man for
any one to go against but he was hardly
prepared for the showing made by him.
However, the fight is over and every
body knows more than they did before
the 18th of March.
When asked about the financial end
of the transaction, Mr.. Stuart frankly
stated that it did not come up to his ex-
pectations, but that with the kineto-
scope he stifl hopes to come out ahead.
The attendance, he said, was not as
large as he expected, but it was very
fair, all things considered. The crowd
from the east was not near what he ex-
pected, but this was on account OF the
railroad rates.
Mr.. Stuart is particularly "sore" on
the Southern Pacific, which. he says,
failed to keep its agreement with him.
When he first approached the railroad
people he says that they told him to go
ahead and that he could rest assured
that he would receive proper treatment,
but when the whole matter had been
arranged they failed to meet the east
ern rates and, in consequence there was
heavy falling off in the attendance.
The arena, Mr.. Stuart said. he had left
standing in Carson, as he thought he
might do some more business there.
While in Southern California Mr.. Stu
art will probably make trip to Cata-
lima island and look over the ground
there. He says that he had an eye on
the island some months ago before he
settled on Nevada, and also thought of
going to one of the islands off the coast
Of Mexico, but had to give up the idea
