The business affairs of Peter Moften-

Henry. According TO the statement of
the latter. they are being Strengthened

before the tragedy is being pushed
ahead as though Mortensen himself
were conducting it. Yesterday Henry
Mortensen secured the general power

immediate steps to collect some out
standing bills due and to place the
business affairs In shape.
Mr.. Mortcnsen stated yesterday aft
ernOOn that there were a number Of
outstanding obligations due his broth
er which he would collect, but he
would not discuss the amounts Of these
bills.
In reply TO a question, Mr. Mo-ten-

tracts under way at the time of the
murder, and that he would try 10 90

MAY DRAIN POND
TO LOOK FOR GUN

To determine the practicability of
pumping the water out of the pond
near the grave where Hays body was
found, with a fire engine, Chief Devine
of the fire department visited the scene
of the murder yesterday afternoon and
examined the pond. It has been the
theory of many that the murderer Of
Hay cast his gun into that pond Of
mud and water to hide its incriminat-
ing evidence from the officers. The
pond was raked but without results,
and it was then recommended that the
fire engine be called into requisitiOn to
pump the water from the pond. Chief
Devine, after examining the place with
this idea in view, reported to the cOun
" authorities that the pond was fed
by a spring. and that it would be urac-
ticaIly impossible to drain IT by means
of the fire engine. He suggested that a
ditch be dug to let out the sUper1uous
water, and that then the engine might
be used to keep the pond dry enough
for il to be searched.
The proposition to drain the place by
means of bitches was taken under COZ
sheraton by the authorities, and it is
stated that such a course viii probably
be pursued as soon as circumstances
will permit. unless the gun should he

TRADE WITH TURKEY
WORTH LOOKING AFTER

Washington. Dec. 26.-The state de-
psTtment made public today extracts
from the first annual report Of United
States Consul Norton at Harpoot. Tur-
key. Mr.. Norton had difficulty in Sc
curing his exequateur from Turkey,
that government declining at first TO
grant the necessity authorization. on
the ground that there was no COM
merce at Harpoot to warrant 1t. He
says the two villayets of Mamouet-Al-
Aziz and Diarbeker-compose the con-
sular district and during 1900 the trade
aggregated something over $4,000, 000
evenly divided between exports and
Imports
There is much to favor the growth
of commercial ties between Asiatic
Turkey and the United States. says
Mr Norton. The American education
al effort at HarpOot has had wide
spread influence Contact for nearly
BALI a century with American teach
ers. American methods and American
family life has led to high admira-
ton for all that bears the stamp Of
American make. The region thus is
in a particularly receptive mood.
Turkish farmers, he says, await with
eagerness to see the working of reap
ers which have been ordered from
America, each of which is expected to
perform in day what eighty men now
accomplish with existing facilities.
Within fifteen months no less than
3S2 American sewing machines have
been. disposed of in Mr. Norton's dis
trict and have driven from the mar
kets completely the English and Ger
man machines, hitherto in vogue. In
even less time seventy American life
insurance policies have been issued,
with prospects of many more. As to
bicycles, the consul says that the one
used by him was the pioneer in the
Harpoot district, and as a result of
the appearance Of this wheel, a demand
has sprung up for bicycles.
Summing up, Mr.. Norton says the
conditions which are favorable to the
gradual building up of reliable mar
ket for American goods in the Har-
poot district are the increasing dis
satisfaction with the cheap products of
Germany, Austria and England; the
great confidence in American integrity
and in the quality of American wares;
the large emigration from the Harpoot
district to America and the fact that
no European house or agency has been
established there.

COINAGE RATIO FIXED AT MANILA
DECLARED TO BE UNSATISFACTORY

Manila, Dec. 26.-It was publicly an

first quarter Of 1902 will be S2.1O Mex
lean silver to one American gold dol
lar. General Wright, the acting civil
governor, says that, though unsatis-
factory, this is the only solution of the
matter the Philippine commission
thought possible. He hoped for early
action by congress on this subject.
General Wright considers that the
situation in these parts of the Philip
pines where military operations are
being carried on is daily improving. He

Chanee's ability to end the Instruction
