GENERAL M'NULTA'S REPORT.
over $25,OOO,OOO Handled by the Re-
ceiver of the whisky Trust.

CHICAGO, Sept 25.-The financial report
of Receiver McNulta, of the whisky trust
was referred to-day by Judge Showalter,
of the Federal Court, to Special Master in
Chancery Patton for confirmation. This
practically ends the receivership. The re-
port covers the entire receivership from
Jan. 2S 1895, when the bill was filed in
court to Jan. 30, of this year. The total
receipts of Receiver McNulta during that
period were $25, ,S07, ,926. OF this amount $l2,-
SO7s26 was from the sale of spirits and
S. 9.S00,000 from sale of the plants to the
American Spirits Company, the successor
of the old trust. The expenditures were
S25. pa, 7S3, of which amount $9,757 ,652 was
paid TO the government for tax on spirits.
$l0,394,65l credited TO the American Spirits
Company in stock of the old trust paid in
the purchase of the plants. and for cash
turned over to the same pro rate on
stock held. over $3,G00,000 in rebates was
paid.
The receivership in its early stages was
a stormy affair and for many months en-
crossed nearly all of the time of Judge
Showalter in hearing various phases of the
litigation. The bill for the receivership
nled originally in the name of John F.
Olmstead was presented on the night of
Ian 2S 1895. TO Judge GrOsScup a his home
and j. b. Greenhut, president of the trust,
and T. f. Lawrence and j. J. Mitchell were
named as receivers. The bill and receiver
ship were suppressed for two days. When
1t was made public il was attacked by lead
ing stockholders of the company. Green
hut was deposed by Judge Grosscup and
General McNulta appointed in his stead.
Subsequently Messrs. Lawrence and Mitch
eli resigned and General McNulta was
left alone in charge AS soon as Master in
Chancery Patton reports on the financial
exhibit Of the receiver. final order in the
celebrated litigation viii be made.

THIEF IN THE WALDORF
ASSISTANT MANAGER CHARGED
WITH ROBBING THE HOTEL.
RevOIvers and Burglars Tools Found
i'm His Possession, and Rooms
Filled with Booty.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 25.-The New York
correspondent of the Dispatch says: Two
peculiar discoveries were made to-day (Fri-
day) about John II. Staats, assistant man
ager Of the Hotel Waldorf. One was that
he was accused of robbery on grand
scale, and the other was that he amused
himself when at leisure by knitting wora-
ems stockings. The man is in a cell at po-
lice headquarters. Detectives says he has
made a confession of his long double life,
saying he had no idea why he had turned
thief or why he had a full kit of burglars
tools and kept bottle of knockout drops
at hand. Stats is widely known in the ho-
tel world. He has managed some of the
largest hotel interests in the United States.
1t was his duty to see that nothing in the
hotel ever showed signs of wear, and to
have repairs made even before they were
really necessary. He could send anything
he pleased away from the hotel his 20. K"
being recognized as authoritative. Personal
ly, and in his habits, SO far as they were
known, Stats was apparently above suspi-
cicn. He is thirty-nine years old. He has
a wife, but no children, and lives by him
self in a comfortably furnished room.
For a year valuable articles have been
missed from time to time from the Wal
dorf. About a month ago Mr.. Boldt was
astonished to learn that a rug for which he
Marie Antoinette room. Mr. Bodt sought
the aid of detectives, and for three weeks,
and until Thursday night the two men,
disguised as workmen, did pretended tasks
here and there in the hotel. There was
an important development Thursday
morning. Staats was seen to slyly enter
the storeroom in the basement with
two bundles. He came out without
them. When Stats went off duty for
a few hours the detectives locked them
selves in the storeroom and opened all
the trunks and boxes. They were packed
full to overlooking with the finest of hotel
furnishings. There were hundreds upon
hundreds of linen towels napkins and
sheets. There were dozens after dozens
of solid silver knives, forks and spoons.
The suspected man came in about p.
m. He was at once arrested Staats
took his disgrace calmly, and was locked
UP at police headquarters. Before Stats
was taken to court to-day the detectives
paid visit to his room. There, under the
bed, they found two loaded revolvers one
of them gold mounted a rug from the
Waldorf that cost $780, slungshot, bot
tie of Knockout crops and large brick
wrapped in paper In a drawer that was
broken was found n set of burglars tools.
Stats told the detectives that he had a
fancy for knitting stockings, and when in
his room spend most of his time in knit
ting. He would not say what he did with
the stockings. Three pairs of women's
hose were found in his room. They were
only half finished
