UNITED VERDE SALE
Hearing of Professor Treadwell's Mo-
 tion to Enjoin.

RC-lders of The Republican will re- member that about a month ago Pro- lessor George A. TreadwelI who was then. as he is now, in New York, filed 8 motion in the New York supreme court to enjOin a sale of the property of the United Verde. which was set for last Tuesday at the real estate ex- change in New York Professor Tread well was the owner of 700 shares of United Verde stock, alleged in the motion to be worth S21OO0O. The mo- tion described the sale to be in pur- suance of a plan by which more than 99 per cent of the stockholders had as sented to dissolve the incorporation in New York and reincorporate under the laws of West Virginia for legal reasons. Among other things set forth in the motion was that United States Senator w. A. Clark was the heaviest stockholder and that his in come was $299, ,0OO a month: that the company pays 12O per cent a year in dividends and has such earnings that it could pay $7.0OO,OOO a year. It was incorporated for s3.OOOOOO Mismanage- ment was also charged in the motion.
 The motion was heard by Judge Gildesleeve of the New York supreme court last Friday and decision was re- served. Though it has no doubt. since been rendered, no announcement of it has been made here. At the hearing, it was stated in opposition to the mo- tion that when the present manage ment took charge of the property ten years ago the stock Was selling at 75 cents and S1 a share, and that it was now selling at S3OO a share
 Upon this showing Judge Ctldersleeve said regarding the charge of misman- agement, that it reminded him of the remark of President Lincoln when somebody said that Grant was a heavy thinker: "If you can tell me the brand of whisky he drinks I'll send all our generals a barrel apiece

CASsI CONVICTED
A Former Phenician Sentenced to g
 Havana Prison.

Emil Cassi, at one time a member of believes the war with Spain ought not to have been undertaken: that the free dom of the Cuban people was not worth all the sacrifices of life, liberty and an indirect result of that war Cassi has just been sentenced to a term of two years and four months in a military prison in Havana for the killing of a sentenced to pay the majors family $1,0G0. This killing took place about a year ago and Cassi has been in con- fnement ever since. Half the period of his confinement will be deducted from the term of his sentence.
 Cassi came to Phoenix from Bisbee almost three years ago. He was a skillful cornetist, and was soon taken into the Pioneer band and remained there until the organization of the Rough Riders, when he joined the regi- ment and became trumpeter. He was present during all the fighting before Santiago and the boys who have re- turned said he was a good soldier and earned the arl obation of his officers. He remained in Cuba, went to Havana and recommended by his service, was appointed first lieutenant of police, in which capacity he was acting when he created a vacancy in the Cuban mili- tary list.
 From all information that has been published Martinez needed killing. but it was unfortunate for Cassi that his victim, was a man of so great promi- hence, and that at that particular time, and ever since the military government at Havana was trying to placate the Cubans, who were chafng because the independence of which they had dreamed so much and talked so gran diloquently. was deferred. There was not much hope for Cassi under those circumstances.

dent as meaning the gold standard and
nothing else, would have elected Mr..
Bryan by an Overwhelming majority.
To construe the election of 1896 as a
mandate by the American people for
the establishment of the gold standard
is to appropriate political goods under
false pretenses.
LAS soon as the election was over
and the fruits of this chicanery had
been gathered, the great republican
newspapers began to discard their con-
venient antiquities about sound
money and honest money and to
claim the result as a definite verdict
in favor of gold. These utterances in
creased in volume and precision as the
advent of the new administration ap-
preached. The president also, although
not able to form the habit of direct
ness in speech soon showed by his ac
tions that he no longer considered the
prediction construction of the plat
form to be binding. His appointment
as secretary of the treasury of per-
haps the most conspicuous gold stand
ard advocates among the great bank
erS of the country. was obviously not
especially designed to promote any
kind of bimetallisn. To be sure there
was sent abroad the alleged interna-
tional monetary commission. Unless
the hoax was to be openly confessed,
this was the least the president could
do.
but for fear that after ALL foreign
governments might take the procedure
seriously he sent to congress in July,
1897 at the very moment when his
commissions proposals were before the
English cabinet. special message
recommending the so-called Indianap-
oils monetary convention plan with its
programme Of the single gold standard,
retirement Of the greenbacks and eX-
tensions of the powers, privileges and
immunities OF the national banks.
Meantime, his secretary of the treasury
was declaring in interview after inter-
view, most of which were carefully re-
produced in Europe that bimetallism in
any way, international or otherwise,
was not only impossible, but undesir-
able OF course, no serious negotiations
were possible after all this
THE international commission be-
came an international joke. 1t folded
its tents like the Arabs and silently
stole away Its distinguished and dis
comfited chairman sought early op-
portunity in the senate to explain it's

the most substantial stocks on the list.
The fall in prices added to the weak
ness by reason of the shrinkage in the
value of collaterals. Before the con-
certed relief by the clearing house
banks, the money rate leaped to so, 70.
100, and according to the official record
1Z5 per cent. Creditable reports assert
that 1856 per cent. was paid for money
during the day. The official record of
such transaction was lost in the excite
ment. An idea of the severity OF losses
may be gained from a few specifica-
tions. Thus American Tobacco fell an
extreme, 21k, Metropolitan 20A, Peo~
pies Gas A. Sugar 1919. Continental
Tobacco liz, Tennessee Coal II, Man
haitian and Leather, preferred 9A, all
in the list of industries.
In the railroad list such stocks as
Northwest, New York Central, Great
Northern, preferred. Rock Island,
Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, North
ern Pacific. Atchison, preferred, and in
fact the most prominent and active
railroad stocks in the whole list showed
losses ali the way from four to nine
points.
The rallies. With the final easing down
of the money rate to i per cent, ran
from five to ten points. The days
transactions ran up to a total Of nearly
1,T5o, 600 shares, which is the record for
a days business. The excitement was
intense all day and there can be no
doubt that a large volume Of transac-
tions and a record of many quotations
We're entirely lost in the turmoil OF
brokers and operators which surged
over the floor Of the exchange.
After the close of the exchange there
was a meeting of the clearing house
committee to concert further measures
for safety and relief. An issue of clear
ing house certificates was discussed,
but the bank presidents present de-
cided that that would not be advisable
at present. A meeting of the clearing
house committee was called for IL
o'clock tomorrow with view of being
prepared for action in case of further
necessity. The decentralization in the
stocks affected the bond market more
or less, but losses were largely confined
to the lower grade issues, which have
been subject to speculat ton. The vol
ume of investment issues brought on
the market by the severe money string
ency is as yet small.

IN SPECIAL, SESSION.
The Michigan Legislature win Consider
Taxation.

Lansing, Mich, Dec. 1S-The Michi-
gan legislature met in special session
at noon to-day in response to a call of
Governor Pingree. The governors OBJ
ject is to secure the passage of a joint
resolution providing for submission to
the people at general election next
November of an amendment to the
state constitution placing railways upon
the same basis for taxation as all other
property. At present the railroads pay
special taxes upon gross earnings. IN
terest in the special session is increased
by the fact that the grand jury which
has returned indictments alleging brib-
cry against some legisla tors is still in
session here. Speaker Adams of the
house. one of the indicted men, presided
to-day as usual.
The message of Governor Pingree was
read this afternoon before the joint ses-
sion of the two houses. 1t urged pas
sage of the proposed joint resolution so
as to permit the amendment of laws
by the legislature for equal taxation of
all property at its true cash value.
