ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 1.-THE reports
from the bedside of United States Senator
c. X. Davis this afternoon stated that he
was resting comfortably. The physicians
admit the serious nature of his sickness
but the fact that he has kept up his
strength so remarkably makes them hope
full as to the outcome. The trouble with
the foot is believed to have been disposed
of. and the wound is healing nicely But
the development of kidney trouble causes
the chief apprehension. 1t was first a case
OF nephritis but diabetes has developed
complicating the situation greatly The pa
tient passed restless night until o'clock.
after which hour he slept well, eating
hearty breakfast. His temperature to-day
was 90 20 and pulse 40.
The various ratification meetings being
held throughout the State are adopting
resolutions of sympathy with the senator
In his sickness, and similar action has been
taken by the Loyal Legion at its November
meeting and by the State Historical So
ciety. These expressions of good will. to-
gether with the many kilograms of cheer
and sympathy from prominent men all over
the world, have done much to cheer the in
valid.
This evening Senator Davis's physicians
issued the following bulletin: Senator Da-
Wis had very comfortable day. He silent

Sensational Revelations Predicted by
an Irish Member of the Brit
ish Parliament.

PARIS, Nov. 14.-Paul Kruger, the fugi-
tive President of the Transvaal probably
will arrive at Marseilles in few days and
will be given an ovation by the people OF
that city A dispatch from Suez says:
1.-The Dutch cruiser Gelderland, with the
ex-President on board, has arrived here.
Mr.. Kruger remains secluded in his cabin.
His health is good. A delegate of the Mar
settles reception committee boarded the
Gelderland at Suez but the eventual desti-
nation of the warship will be unknown until
she arrives at Port Said, where she will
coal. Mr.. Kruger received an ovation at
the German port of Dar-es-Salaam'
David Davitt, NJ. p, who is now in Paris.
says: at is a unique testimony to the
great individuality of President Kruger
that his voyage TO Europe is watched with
more intense interest by the continental
press than is the progress of the war in
China. The daily calculations of the speed
of the Gelderland with its illustrious pas
senger have two main Inspirations. namely.
curiosity as 10 what the indomitable Presi-
dent may say for his people and against
England when he lands at Marseilles and
the probable effect of this on the attitude
of the European powers and the military
policy OF the British in the further prose-
cution of the war. All speculation agrees
upon two points. There are to be important
revelations. In one well-informed quarter
it is asserted that Mr.. Chamberlain will
soon have an opportunity of reading private
letters found in Johannesburg that will
place the active completely Of the Colonial
Office in the Jameson raid beyond further
dispute. Proof will also be adduced that
Kruger purchased the ammunition for the
Boer armies from Birmingham firms in
which the family and friends of the colonial
secretary have a large direct interest. The
Gelderland will stop at Port Said only to
receive dispatches and will proceed in a few
hours TO Marselles, where she is expected
to arrive on the 18th. Kruger is not likely
to publish any statement until after con-
sulting the members Of the Boer govern
ment already in Europe. all of whom will
meet him on the landing"

LONDON, Nov. 15.-'It is pleasing TO

morning. that the American government
deem their attitude misconceived. The ex-
PLANTATION emanating from Washington

for a further qualification which seems TO
be implied by the presumption entertained
that the ministers will not exact repara-

demands. but If the Chinese court is TO

its power TO execute, the demand for the
execution of the real criminals becomes q

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE rather Sc
we're criticisms OF the English press upon
the attitude of the United States govern
ment relative TO the Chinese complications.
based on the advices OF their American
correspondents. have attracted a good deal
of attention here. With a view OF as
oertaining what basis there might be for
these criticisms. an inquiry was to-day
made in an authoritative quarter with the
following result:
1.-The comments of the London press on
the attitude OF the United States I'm the
pending negotiations in China are found
ed on a complete misunderstanding. So
far from the government interposing any
obstacles to an agreement among the pow
ers at Picking, Mr.. Conger has been In
structed frequently and in urgent terms
to do everything possible to bring about
a speedy agreement. This government
took no part in the expedition to Pao-Ting-
Flu, but il made no protest against IT.
and has given no expression of opinion to
the other powers as TO its propriety. This
government is in agreement with the pew
ers in demanding severe and adequate
punishment of the principal wrong-doers,
indemnity for the past and security for
the future. IL does not. however, at this
distance presume to decide who are the
most guilty. what punishment must be
inflicted in each particular case. and what
sentences are possible Of execution. These
matters, as well as that of indemnity. are
left to the negotiators on the spot II Is
TO be presumed that they will not exact a
reparation. either personal or pecuniary.
which it would be beyond the power OF
China TO carry out"
1t is said that the details of the propo-
sitions before the council OF minister. at
Picking as set out in the London special
dispatches are substantially correct. How
ever they are not included in any one note
so far received here officially. but are rather
comprised in a series OF notes and tele-
grams that have been exchanged between
the State Department and Minister Con-
ger day by day as the negotiations pro-
ceeded. The State Department has re-
garded several of these propositions as ex-
tremely unwise or undesirable. but has not
felt that that fact justified the United
States in Withdrawing singly from the con-
cert Of powers.

loss to explain how the Philadelphia inter-
ests could obtain an attachment, levied IN
part upon what is apparently their own
goods. This attachment ii was announced
late yesterday afternoon by the attorneys
for the receiver, had been withdrawn The
precise amount of the claim, il was said
was sl62 $50, and the bail raised the figures
TO double that amount, or 1924, 100. No rea-
son was assigned locally to explain the
withdrawal of the attachment, unless 1t be
due, as was intimated by friend OF the
late Colonel Strong, to the fact that efforts
were being made TO induce the various
creditors TO refrain from actions whlch
might tend to complicate the work OF the
receiver Mr.. Treat is working earnestly
with the closest business friends of the
house to straighten out Its affairs In the
shortest possible time
wv. l.. Strong * Co. had never made a
statement of its affairs to the banks or the
city or to the commercial agencies Per-
functory information was, or course, sup
piled TO the latter sources of business news,
but nothing in the way OF schedule OF
assets and liabilities ever appeared. In
rough way former Mayor Strong was esti-
mated by the agencies TO be worth from
$4,000 to s., 100000 and the amount Of cap
ital actually employed in business, accord
ing to the most recent report, was said 10
be 100000.
Following the appointment of receiver
fer the firm of w. l. Strong & Co, in this
city on Tuesday, an application was made
for a receiver for the firm of c. III. & +. III.
Stott, of Stottsville, yesterday, in the spe-
cial term of the Supreme Court in Catskill-
1t was based on the fact that. i. l.. Stott is
a surviving partner in both the firm OF
Strong & Co. and c. III. & +. H. Stott and
as the accounts between the two firms have
not been adjusted formally it was deemed
proper that he should not participate In
the adjustment, and that an entirely inn
partial person should be designated by the
court for that purpose. Justice Herrick
appointed Smith Thompson, of Hudson,
president of the Farmers National Bank,
receiver. He placed the bond of Mr.. Thomp-
son at 500 00O''
