WHY Philips CLOSED OUT
Accounts of the Firm of Geo. A. Phil
n ipps and Company are in Badly
.T%<&@S Tangled Condition. :-&.
Lack of Proper Clerical Assistance t,
r Attend to Business Given as
Cause of Suspension.
Market But Slightly Affected by the
Transfer as All Trades are
Transferred.

chicago, Aug. 2.-BOard Of trade
and business circles generally were
startled during the day by the an
nouncement that the George H. Phil
lips company which became famous
through it's pool operations in the Chi
cago corn pit during the past year,
had transferred all it's open trades to
McReynolds & Co. 1t was at first
rumored that a large defalcation had
been discovered in an examination of
the books, but 4his proved untrue, hav-
one of the head bookkeepers was con-
fined to his home by illness.
Lack of facilities for the proper
clerical needs Of the concern, which
had acquired an enormous commission
trade, was, according to a statement
given the Associated Press by Attor-
uey John S. Goodwin, who, as rep
resentative of the law firm of Black &
Goodwin, has taken charge of the COM
pany's affairs, was the sole reason for
temporarily suspending business. The
tangled condition of the books became
apparent some time ago, when the
board Of trade directors ruled that
the Phillips company should furnish
to each man of the corn pool a detail
ed account of the whole transaction
A large force was then put to work
upon the books in their efforts to audit
the accounts but the enormous amount
of trade made it impossible. AS the
firms business kept increasing at a
! remarkable rate the machinery of the
house was found inadequate and, at
midnight on July 81, it was decided to
simply transfer all trades and for the
time being throw the business of the
| house into other hands until a com
plete new set of books shall have been
compiled. Mr.. Phillips, while regret
ting the necessity for such action, said
it was absolutely the only course open
to him. "This does not mean we are
/ quitting business" he said. "On the
contrary, we shall execute all orders
| but will have to ask that usual mar
gins accompany all orders until our
| books are checked over"
The announcement of the above turn
OF affairs caused scarcely ripple on
/ the board Of trade markets. Corn
eased about three-quarters of a cent
but soon regained the loss The wheat
| market was but slightly affected and
| oats followed the course of the corn
market.
About the only excitement visible
| was the usual scurry of clerks, hur-
rying about checking up open trades.

two sessions during the day, but, as
lar as known no agreement was
reached. At the close of the morning
session the following statement was
made public:
"We, the members of the executive
board of the Amalgamated association,
desire to deny emphatically the re-
ports published of expressions of dis
agreement among US. We are dispos-

as fast as its importance will permit
and no member has expressed any
opinion or given out any statement of

SEVEN SUSPECTS HELD.
Number of Arrests in Connection With
Train Robbery.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-Seven suspects
are under arrest in connection with
holdup of the Baltimore and Ohio linn
tied, westbound, 81 miles southeast
of this city. Three of the prisoners
were found lowering about campfire
east of Millers, Ind, not far from the
scene of the holdup. They gave the
names Of Mccoy, Becker and Isreal-
son. The other four were taken in at
Albion, Ind. There is, apparently, no
conclusive evidence against the men.
Bloodhounds taken to the scene did
not readily take the trail, owing to
the oil soaked condition of the track
and road bed in the vicinity. A launch
has constantly patrolled Lake Mich
igan in the hope that the robbers
would attempt to escape in that direc-
tion. Nothing has transpired in that
direction, however.
The engineer and flrenan were IN
able to identify any of the susre6t~
captured near Millers station. ovirc
to the fact that the faces of the bar,
dts had been concealed by MASKS. Ct,

Montreal, Aug. 2.-The Montreal,
Star, editorially, claims that the Do
minion of Canada does not want re-
ciprocity with the United States. The
Star refers to the campaign conducted
in favor of unrestricted reciprocity by
the Liberals in 1891, which resulted in
their defeat. Concerning the transfer
Of American industries across the Ca
madam border The Star says Canada
is familiar with that argument and
adds that the union of the spider and
the fly developed the energies and in
dustries, of both parties. Continuing,
The Star says:
"We' have already done too much to
build up the Industrious and advance
the prosperity of our .neighbors. We
buy too much from them and sell
them too little, but there is grave dan
ger that in any new deal our lot may
become worse instead of better.''

EMANATiNG FROM BOXERS.
Violent Anti-Foreign Placards Posted
at Canton.

at Canton.
Canton, Aug. 2.-Violent anti-for-
eign placards, emanating from the
Boxers, have been posted in the vicin-
ity of the Christian chapels. The
placards protest against the imposi-
tion of the house tax, saying it is only
exacted in order to meet the indem-
nifty to be paid to the powers and pro-
ceeds:
eff money can be obtained, why not
make war on the foreigners? China
is not yet defeated. It is only the
governments eyes which are blinded
by disloyal ministers. If we refuse to
fight, then it is case of being greedy
to live, yet fearing death. How can
the carefully studied military arts be
used, except against foreigners? How
can we otherwise employ our regi-
ments? During 1901 much money will
be collected through lotteries, gam
bling and general taxes. But they
were never satisfied. Therefore,
should the house tax be collected, we
will demolish the chapels and drive
out the Christians. If the emperor is
unable to pay, we Boxers have an ex-
cellent plan to gain victory over the
foreigners. Unless this policy is
adopted, a great rebellion is certain"
