SECRETARY CAGES POSITION.
Denial That It Has Been Accurately
 Outlined.

Washington, Oct. 20.-The recom- mendations of Secretary Gage in his forthcoming report to congress on currency and financial questions are exciting what is regarded by the sec retary as premature discussion. A statement has been made that the sec retary has addressed to bankers a number of confidential questions seek ing their views on the propositions to refund the national debt into 21a per cent gold bonds, to retire legal ten ders and silver notes, to sell gold bonds to strengthen the gold reserve and to authorize national banks to is- sue notes equal to value of bonds de- posted and 25 per cent of capital stock.
 The secretary was asked about the statements today He was busy at a cabinet meeting, and authorized As sfstant Secretary Vanderlip to speak for him. In reply to questions of a reporter, MT. Vanderlip furnished the following statement, denying that the questions alleged to have been sub mitted in any way represent the views of the secretary:
 "This alleged outline of the secre- tary's views represents nothing at all There is in it just a shadow from some tentative suggestions that were formRated last spring. Even that shadow is so garb1ed that Its form bears practically no relation to the suggestions that were then foImu- lated
 When those suggestions were made they were merely a tentative outline for the purpose chiefly of drawing out opinion from high sources, and they at nc time purported to represent the mature judgment of the secretary of the recommendations that he will make to congress.
 Many valuable opinions and dis cussions have been called forth, and without doubt they have had more or less influence upon the secretary's views, so that his position today is not
 Necessarily just what it was when his 6uggesticns were put out. The out line that has been printed, if it really reflected his suggestions, would be, k therefore, valueless.
 "It does not represent correctly the suggestions which were made and ii
 t did represent these suggestions ac- curately, it would still not necessarily be in line with the views which the secretary will take in his message to congress"

MAYER TO CORBETT.
Former Issues Challenge for the
 Championship

Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 20.-Peter Ma her, the Irish champion, is on the war path. He believes Jimmy Corbett has been roasting him in interviews and is very mad, and wrote his man. agers here to "give that pompadour stiff' good call down. Buck Con- nelly immediately prepared the fol- lowing, signed by Peter Maher:
 T challenge James J. Corbe.t to contest feE-tke pugilistic champion ID of the world. This challenge is issued because F'itzsimmons has declared that he has retired from the ring and has left the title to be fought for by those who want it. As we cannot doubt the intentions of Fitzeimmons this challenge is made direct to Cor bett as the man who has definitely offered to fight Fitzsimmons for the title"
 Connolly also said that all is needed is to make known when and where a forfeit can be put up and the articles signed for the contest 'FWe will not be hard to please in any respect. If Corbett is not willing to accept this challenge it is open to any man in the world, black or white We are pre- pared to put up any sized stake as an outside bet and beyond all we mean business" and Connolly declared he felt Corbett knew Maher's packers had met with financial troubles lately, and thought they could not get any money, that's why he has been roast ing Maher. 'I'll show him. said Connolly. 'I'll get $10OOO in twenty four minutes for the fight"
 A wealthy druggist is behind Con nelly and Quinn and will give them all the money they need to make d match for Maher.

Santa Fe, N M., Oct. 20.-J. A.
 Davis, industrial commissioner for the Santa Fe route, and a party of New York capitalists interested in promoting the sugar and canaigre tan- ming enterprises, spent yesterday in conferring with citizens of the Santa valleys.

Davis by showing him beets of from two to six pounds in weight that show by analysis IS per cent saccharine matter. The com missioner said the Santa Fe road would give every possible encourage ment to the project now being financed in Chicago and London to erect a s300,000 sugar factory here.

LEAPED TO DEATH.
Miss Maud Badgley Jumps From
 Cabin John Bridge.

Washington, Oct. 20.-Miss Maud Gardner Badgley, a young woman about p years of age, residing at 1125 Thirteenth street northwest, and a clerk in the general land office, con- mitted suicide this forenoon, shortly after II o'clock, by jumping from the coping of Cabin John bridge.
 Very little can be learned of the cir cumstances surrounding the suicide. The indications are that it was a pre- meditated case of self destruct on There are usually very few people at Cabin John bridge at that time of the day, and so far as known the jump was witnessed by only one man, and his name could not be ascertained.
 There appeared to be nothing in the girls actions to warrant any special attention being paid to her.
 According to the statement of one of the employees of the Great Falls Railroad company Miss Badgley took a train for Cabin John bridge shortly before II o'clock.
 As only three trains were running on the railroad this morning, there was no delay on the switches, and fG1e trip was soon ended.
 The young lady was observed to get off the car and start to walk across the bridge. She never completed the journey. When midway across the structure she was observed by the one man referred to to climb on the coping of the side wall, and before he could reach her she had taken the fatal plunge.
 Judging by the body when picked up, the right side struck the ground first and sustained the full force o1 the fall.
 The only thing carried by the sui eide that served to identify her was a paper bound novel, on the fy-Ieaf oi which was written in ink, Maud Gardner Badgley." Beneath this, in lead pencil, was the address, TIPS Thirteenth street."
 It was developed that Miss Badg1ey had been a sufferer from nervous troubles for some time, due, it was thought, to the work which she per formed. She was employed as clerk in che general land office, and had bgeA there for several years, being trah0lerred from the census office. She
