GERMANY IN A
FINANCIAL CRISIS

NEW YORK, Dec. l3.-A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Berlin
says The pessimistic speech of Baron
Won Fleischmann, Secretary Of the
Imperial Treasury, in the Reichstag on
Monday. in which he told the country
to prepare for period of hard times
as the financial situation was gloomy,
has created a sensation in the money
market. There has been such a slump
in the price of mortgage bonds that un-
less public confidence is restored the
economic ability of Germany will be i'm
periled, some banks and bankers may
find themselves in serious difficulties
and a financial crisis of unparalleled
gravity may be precipitated in Berlin.
The first Preussische Hypothek Bank
and the Deutsche Grunschuld Bank are
unable to meet the strain and the Gov
ernment has appointed receivers in both
cases. To avert a crash the DeutSche
Bank and some other houses have form
ed a committee for the protection of
and are advancing funds
in payment of interest due.

Fred Holzheiser arrived on the Sierra

Advertiser reference library. An eX-
perience of several years as librarian

Four masked men held the town of

at bay before dawn today while they
blew the safe in the private bank OF
John Doerschuk. The explosion arouS
ed the citizens, who armed themselves
and turned out, but were held off by
the determined burglars until the
wrecked safe had been looted Then,
amid fuslade of bullets, the four e:
capped on Wheeling and Lake Erie
handcar, carrying with them between
$4,000 and $4,000. That some of the
bullets took effect is evident by trail
of blood. The conditions surrounding
the robbery are the same as those at
Seville few days ago and the belief
is general that the same men did the
work. The robbers abandoned the car
before reaching Baltic, five miles dis
tant. A posse is now in pursuit with

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
Senator Hanna Urges Its Passage in a
Strong Speech.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-By special
order the Senate convened at IL o'clock
today. The announced purpose of the
early convening was to enable Mr. Han
ma of Ohio to address the Senate on
the ship subsidy bill.
In opening his address Mr.. Hanna
said that the remarks of Mr.. Clay had
brought into question the motives of
those who had assisted in the prepara-
ton of the pending measure. AS a
member of the Maritime Committee as
well as a member of the Committee on
Commerce, Mr.. Hanna said he felt it
his right and duty to explain the work
of those committees.
For myself" he declared, Il resent
the imputation that any other motive
than those of interest in our country
and good public policy actuated the
committees"
Mr.. Hanna said the pending measure
was believed to be the most practical
legislation that could be enacted upon
the subject. He then sketched rapidly
the rise of the shipping industry of the
Great Lakes.
Mr.. Hanna maintained that in order
to build up the American merchant ma
rine 1t was necessary to have not only
capital and experience, but 1t was nee
essary likewise "to afford our foreign
carrying trade protection-some kind
of fundamentally law If this protec-
tion should be afforded, said Mr.. Han
ma, the growth of the American mer-
chant marine would be on Il par with
the growth of the shipping industry on
the Great Lakes,

~ OBERT W. WILCOX, the dele
gate to Congress from Hawaii
recently elected, arrived yester-
day on the Rio and is at the Occi-
dental with Mrs Wilcox, his children
and private secretary. Mr.. Wilcox is
forty-fve years of age and was born
in the Islands, his father being an
American and his mother a native Ha-
waiian. Mr.. Wilcox was educated in
Italy.
The delegate from the Islands was, as
most people remember, the leader in
two revolutions at Honolulu in 1889 and
1895. In the days before annexation
Mr. Wilcox was always a strong sup
porter of the Hawaiian dynasty and in
fact the chief object of the revolutions
in which Mr.. Wilcox was engaged was
to restore first OF all to King Kalakaua
and later to Queen Liliuokalani the
power which has been usurped by the
so-called missionary party" who are
in fact the planters. They are called
in the politics of the Islands the mis-
sionary party because many of them
are the sons of missionaries who settled
on the Islands and took to growing su-
gar.
1t was his former associations with
the King and Queen that gave rise to
the impression that Mr.. Wilcox's cleo
tion was a triumph for the royalist par
ty, but Mr. Wilcox says this was moth
ing more than a campaign cry. Royal
ism is dead on the Islands, he says,
and the natives as well as the Ameri-
cans have fully and logically accepted
their status as citizens of the United
States.
There were three candidates" said
Mr.. Wilcox. "They said that Prince
David and were in favor of the restor-
alton of the monarchy, but there is
nothing in that. 1t was started only
for electioneering purposes. The candi-
date of the planters. who called himself
a Republican in politics, polled larger
vote in Honolulu, but I beat him in the
other Islands.
Yes, got most of the native vote,

United States Supreme Court, the En-
bassadors and Ministers from foreign

Navy and great outpouring of the
people. Although Washington is the
scene of many celebrations, it is seldom
that one has occurred here of greater
brilliancy in its outdoor features or of
more impressiveness in it's ceremonial
exercises at the Capitol and at the
White House.
Early in the day the President re-
ceived the Governors of States and
Territories at the White House, and
the model for a new and enlarged
White House to commemorate today's
exercises was unveiled with suitable
addresses. At l o'clock the President
was escorted to the Capitol where he
reviewed parade headed by Lieuten-
ant General Miles and including the
full military strength of the capital,
egulars and militia. The ceremonies
at the Capitol began at $3.50 p. m, and
included addresses by Senators Daniel
of Virginia and McComas of Mary
land. Representatives Payne of New
York and Richardson of Tennessee, and
a notable historical Grafton by Senator
Hoar of Massachusetts. A reception
by the President to the Governors of
States at the Corcoran Art Gallery to-

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-A wide field
was covered in the House of Commons

entertain the matter.
Lord Cranborne, Under Secretary for
the Foreign Office, said he regretted
that Canada was excluded from the
most favored nation treatment by Ger

sence of IA commercial treaty between
Great Britain and Germany there was
no remedy at present.
Powell William. the former financial
secretary of the War Office, answering
II question, said 1S2, 100 horses and mules
had been landed in South Africa during
the war.
