They Were Heavily in Debt and Have
to be Supplanted
NEW YORK, Nov 29.-The great
publishing house of Harper & Broth
ers yesterday passed temporarily into
the hands of the State Trust Company,
acting for j. P. Morgan, first morsga
gee, who holds a claim against it for
S3.500.000. This legal step was in a
measure a friendly one, and is the
first move for the reorganization Of
the concern. When it energies from
the blight of mortgages it will be in
new md strong hands, for IL has pass
ed for all time out of the control of the
heirs of the men who founded it and
whose name it bears.
In addition to the immense debt to
Morgan there are other large creditors,
whose claims total $2,000,000. Morgan
offered the Harpers more money, but
default and ruin were inevitable, and
they refused to go any further.
G.. B. NJ. Harvey is to remain in
charge and with Morgan will settle
with the other creditors and straight
en- out the financial troubles. The
Harpers will retain a limited interest
and several of the family will continue
with the house. Lack of business
Judgment. inability to realize ON GER
tain assets and Anticipated methods
tell the story of the failure of the
| Harpers.
President Harvey OF Harper &
Brothers yesterday made statement

So Far the United States Has Not
Agreed TO the Settlement
WASHINGTON, Nov. 81 The
United States has declined 70 accept
the agreement as 10 the disposition of
the Samoan islands reached by Great
Britain and Germany. 1t was possibly
the leaking out of some information 10
this effect that gave rise TO the report
circulated in European capitals recent
ly OF the development of a serious
hitch n the negotiations
AS a matter of fact there is no Sc
rious hitch, and the reasons which in
fiuenced the State Department here in
rejecting the British-German arrange
ment when it was submitted for ap-
prevail related entirely to minor mat
ters, and touched rather upon the form
than the substance of the arrange
ment. Having rejected the tentative
treaty submitted by the other two
powers, our Government has in turn
and a. the instance of the other par
ties, prepared and submitted a draft
of a treaty which lit is hoped will be
acceptable to all three powers This
is now before the Foreign Offices at
London and Berlin for consideration
and it is confidently believed here
that i, will receive unanimous ap-
proval, not differing in principle, as
already stated, from the original pro-

Successful Tests of a New System ol
Wireless Telegraphy.
CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-Professor w. S
Johnson and G. l.. Fortier of Milwau-
kee today made a successful test in
this city of the wireless telegraph
They succeeded in telegraphing with
out wires through a suite of seven
rooms, with all doors closed and
through seven walls. Another test
was made when the signals were con-
veyed through three fireproof vaults
and an ordinary telegraph switchboard
in which Thirty wires were connected
up and about forty dead wires were
located.
Notwithstanding the fact shat this
switch uoard contained live wires the
current passed through all of the vaults
and through this board
A third test was made in which the
sending instrument was placed inside
of one of the steel vaults and both
doors were closed and the com bihation
lock turned. The signals were then
transmitted clearly from the inside of
the vault to an adjoining room
The professor claims that his inven-
ton is materially different from that
of Marconi and that instruments can
be constructed ito be carried on horse
back and be ready for operation with
in a few moments after they have
reached their destination. The send
ing instrument used today was intend
ed only for short distances The re-
ceiving instrument, however, was
complete and ready for use at any
distance.

LONDON. Nov 25.-The succession
to the Bolingbroke peerage has been
settled under conditions as romantic
as any novelist ever conceived.
Lora Bolingbroke lately died at the
age of more than So In 1896 he made
a mesalliance with a Miss Medex, but
the marriage was voided by the courts
on the ground that the supposed spin
ster already had a husband living
Before that Lord Bolingbroke had two
sons by her who were thus made il
legitimate.
Thenceforward all books of refer
ence gave the late Lords cousin, Can
on ST. John, as the heir, but al the
funeral the deceased's attorney an
nounced to the stupefied mourners and
the supposed heir, Canon st. John:
The late Viscount married late in
life, leaving widow and son, Hon.
Vernon St John, who succeeds to the
title as Niscount Bolingbroke. -
The later marriage had been kept an
absolute mystery and the Viscountess
proves to have been handsome maid
employed at his mansion. They had
lived together only abroad, he being
alone curing his residence in England.

foot deckhouse is steel structure OF
great strength and rigidity, but this
metal work will be concealed by
handsome paneled mahogany. Large,
round, vertical sliding air ports are
fitted in this house. These are more
efficient on an ocean-going vessel, and
they also tend to give a much more
"shippy" appearance than the rectan-
gular windows. There is a clear deck
space of about seven feet between the
rail and the deckhouse on each side.
1t is apparently the desire Of the own
er to secure ample deck space and
freedom at sea rather than large rooms
in which to entertain.

Sir John Lubbock, who Is now near
ing his 65th birthday, is one Of the
most active of men. When he is tired
of the banking world, he turns to the
political world; when tired of that, he
seeks change in the insect world-the
spider world, the bee world, the wasp
world, the ant world. In his private
sanctum, at his country seat, Sir John
Lubbock has receptacle for bees and
wasps; and, as they come and go to-
gether, he studies their habits and
their characteristics. He has been
studying these little hot-tempered
creatures for years, and knows them.
The story is told that some time ago
Sir John found wasp whose wings
were so smeared with honey that it
couldn't fly. He watched it, and pres
emily saw lot of other wasps-chums
of the sticky one-come up and lick
the honey Off The operation, how
ever, was not conducted in as praise
worthy fashion as it might have
been, so Sir John, after giving the in
valid bath, put it out to dry in bot
tle When it was clean and respect
able looking he let it loose; but, after
flying home, 1t came back, perhaps not
exactly to express it's gratitude, but
at all events to fetch some more honey.

The so-called earthquake or tidal
waves that are frequently noticed
along the coast near Sydney, N. S. W.,
are found by H. G. Russell to be most
ly traceable to low atmospheric pres
sure. Their period, about twenty-six
minutes from crest to crest, is that
of earthquake waves. Mr.. Russell has
proved, however, that only 1 per cent
are produced by earthquake disturb
ances, while 60 per cent are due to low
pressure areas, which cause the sea
level to rise, with currents along the
south and east coasts that meet in
Bass strait, reducing waves that effect
the Sydney and Newcastle tide gauges.

Col. o. H. Payne, the Standard Oil
magnate, owns the largest private
yacht in the world. The vessel, which
is floating palace, was recently
launched at Bath, Me-, and in speed she
was to be able to show clean pair
OF heels to some of the fastest steam
ships on the seas.
The hull of the yacht, which is
named the Aphrodite, measures 303
feet over all, 260 feet between perpen-
dicular, 35 feet 6 inches beam, and
she will draw, when loaded, 16 feet Of
water. The steel hull of the vessel is
unusually strong and rigid, and her
scantlings are in excess Of the require
ments of the rules of the American
Shipmasters, British Lloyds or the
United States Standard Association.
The yacht has a fat keel instead of
the usual side bar keel. She has
moderate deadrise, an easy bilge with
graceful, curving sides, and the usual
tumble home. The bow lines flare

fidelity.

The great naturalist, Cuvier, says that
there are more muscles in this curious
appendage than are to be found in
that part of the human anatomy which
is most admired for its ingenious
structure-namely, the hand. To the
rat, in fact, its tail serves as a sort Of
hand, by means of which the animal is

this power ct natural draught. This
speed OF the Aphrodite under steam
alone, without forcing, will be at least
fifteen knots per hour, and this she
will be able to maintain on long
run, owing to her great boiler power
and large coal capacity. Under forced
draught she will make over seventeen
knots per hour.
The vessel has a splendid sail plan.
She is bark rugged, two-thirds full
sail power, and will spread in all
about 1900 square feet of canvas.
These sails will give steadiness in a
seaway and in an emergency will ena-
BILE her to make fair speed under cam

MAD DOG.
Kept by Health Authorities to Test
Symptoms of Hydrophobia.

New York Herald: The fact was
brought out that the supposed mad
dog which bit two children at Tomp-
kinsville, S. l., on Sunday afternoon
had bitten third person, Otto Simon
son of No. n Dykeman street, Brook
Ign, a sailor on the Baltimore and
Ohio barge Caroline. Simonson was in
the street and encountered the dog
just after it had bitten the children.
The animal sprang upon him, tore his
coat tails into shreds, and bit him
slightly in the left leg before he sud-
ceeded in beating it off. Simonson
and Charles Perrine, the boy who was
bitten, applied to DR.. John l.. Feeny.
chief of the Richmond borough health
department, and were sent to the labo-
ratory of the health department in
Manhattan borough, where they were
treated by DR.. Cabot. They will be in
oculated daily for two weeks. Edith
Lawrence, the girl who was bitten, was
reported to be not seriously injured,
and her parents have not yet decided
to subject her to the Pasteur treat
ment. The dog, which is part New
foundland, was kept in the dog pound.
1t would eat nothing and showed an
aversion to water, but was not thrown
into commissions when water was
placed near it. The animal was boxed
up and sent by wagon to the bacteri-
illogical department of the health de-
partment, where it will be kept alive
as long as possible, and tests made
to positively determine whether it is
suffering from hydrophobia.
