LET SINGERLY ALONE
And 1t is Thought He VIII Make His Pa
per Pay ALI Debts

Philadelphia, Dec. 27.-The conferees
selected 10 formulate a plan OF settle
ment of the affairs Of the Chestnut
Street National Bank and the Chestnut
Street Trust and Savings Fund COM
pany, of which William NJ. Singerly. pro-
prietor of The Record, was president, to-
night presented a plan for the considerac
ton of depositors and creditors. The
chief measure suggested IS the issuance
OF Record stock to secure the creditors.
The plan is prefaced by a statement that
sit must be clear 10 all concerned that i'll
no case can creditors of the bank, Of the
trust company, of the pulp and paper
company, and of Mr.. Singerly himself,
realize more than the total value of the
assets and rights of these corporations
N addition 10 those of Mr.. Singerly indi-
vidually. 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 ond expenses which
WIFI be incidental to their administration
under what would be the most expensive
form of such administration. The fact,
however, not at first sight SO obvious,
though it more and more impresses itself
upon US, is that owing to the peculiar ma
ture Of the properties 10 be handled. a
lack Of good judgment in their manage
msnt will result in the receipt by the
creditors of less than the present and
probably Of much less than the Ultimate
value thereof. 1t is believed that if Mr..
Singerly will continue 10 give his entire
attention to the development of his great
paper, the peculiar qualifications which
enabled TO build up a property, earning,
it is stated, in the fiscal year 1896, $4,000
net, and earning, also, it is said, in the
last seven years, an average annual net
earning OF s243,00O, will enable him to do
what merely will be impossible under
changed conditions namely, to maintain
the present great value of the property.
but also 20 increase it. This plan will, of
of course, be greatly aided by Mr. Sin
geriy's irsistance that everything pos
sessed or controlled by him shall be
promptly, without legal contest, trans
ferred to the managers to be applied TO

At this time of the year a cold is very

THE SITUATION.
The Sultan Favors Restoring Thessalv to Greece-Ugly Charges Against,
 Germany

London. May 2S.-The correspondent of the Standard at Constant n5ple says: The immediate entourage of the sultan fa- vors restoring TheLssaly to the Greeks. The Turkish foreign minister has spoken on the subject in a conciliatory tone to the Baron de Calico, the Austran-Hun-. garian ambassa dor, csking only a little delay that the public excitement may subSide.
 On the other hand. the whole official and religious world, including the Sheikh Ulstam, derounceS the idea of restoration while every military measure points to retention. Eyen those who had supposed that the sultan had ordered the arma- ment in cIlder that the sultan may ,ex- act better terms from the powers, think he has gone too far and lost control of the situa ation. Russia does not conceal her extreme irritation at Germany's pol Icy which is so openly and consistently directed against Russia that many Turks accuse Germany of deliberately plotting to produce a rupture between the two countries.
