THE DCRKEE CASE,
Secretary Cages Letter to the Attor.
ney for Claimants.

Demand has been persistently made upon
the United States for many years by the
representatives of Charles Durkec de-
ceased, formerly governor of the territory
of Utah, for payment by the United States
treasury Of money stated various1y at s64-
100000. S19.oo0,000 and S30.0O0.000. claimed
to be due Durkee or his heirs for his hold
ings of first mortgage bonds issued by the
Pacific railroads when the roads were con-
structed.
The Treasury Department has frequently
stated that there is no basis for the claim
made upon the United States in this case
In letter dated today to the attorney In
the case, which follows, the Treasury De-
partment has made final answer to the
claimants:
'Mr. ID. w Wood 1916 T street Washing

tons in behalf Of John A. Kuykendall as
administrator OF Charles Durkee. deceased

sued by the Pacific Railroad Company
when the roads were constructed. / have to
state that II Mr.. Durkee was at any time
owner OF the bonds referred to record
thereof would not be found in the Treas
ury Department, but with the records of

And | have further to state that no
moneys or bonds of any description have
ever been deposited with or held in trust
by the Treasurer of the United States for
any person or persons representing Mr.

or equitable basis for the so-called Dur
kee claim upon the United States
Two unsuccessful attempts have been
made to secure judicial recognition of and
action upon this claim by suits brought
before the Court of Claims of the United
States and the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict OF Columbia, in both of which courts
the proceedings Were summarily dismissed
The Treasury Department therefore,
will hereafter decline to answer any COM
munications upon the subject and will de-
cine also any interviews that may be
sought in reference thereto. Respectfully

Forced Sale of Stocks Caused Prices
to Melt Away ~
CONTROL OF TIE SITUATION WAS LOST

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch tn The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. May decentralization and
panic ruled throughout the stock market
session today. Margins which had been
called over night not being deposited prior
to the opening today forced stocks upon
an unwilling market. and prices melted
away in unprecedented fashion. Profits
were not sought, and interest center,,d al
most wholly in an attempt TO limit losses
The big men lost control of the situation
and could not stem the tide of the public
scare Brokers could not execute the bus
lrss offered and stocks sold frequently
came in prices from 10 to IL per cent nm
der the price prevailing at the time the
order was given. Such results were ruin
Gus. but unavoidable.
Money ran up to 80 per cent and hanks
for a time refused TO make new loaus.
There was no time to haggle over the dis
position of stocks. and bids which would
have seemed absurd I'm yesterdays market
brought out stock readily enough today.
Atchison common fiuctuated between ~

The Steel stocks were tossed about IN
most marvellous fashion, the preferred run

the list were right in line with the pr.ces

The rally In the Steel stocks after the mid

tive feat under adverse conditions. ever re-
corded on the stock exchange
To have delayed the recovery would have
been disastrous and A recognition of this
tact at the proper time restored what late
IN the day was described a rational
market
The Gallatin Bank came to the rescue
with an offer to lend sl6o0.oo and this
practical demonstration Of the existence
of money stayed the selling mania.
The primary cause of the trouble.
ran through every form of rumor and con-
lecture. The stock opened a 10 and sold
during the morning at sI.on per share for
cash. Having achieved this result the
parties responsible for the episode agreed
not to insist upon deliveries Of stock due
TODAY.
In one instance the waiver covered a
block of Sooo9 shares. Both Morgan and
the Hartman interests agreed to this form
of truce. Both sides were said To be will
ing to compromise the matter. hut the
terms were not agreed upon. The price Of
the stock receded to $500 under this an
nouncement, but these prices are nearly
double those recorded yesterday.
Today was the most trying and the most
farreaching in its consequences since the
Gould period of corners and advanced
tinanciering
The steadier tone which prevailed dur

several days to decide the real extent OF

REPORTS FAVORABLE,
Assessors Action on Request for Re-
mission Of Penalties.

B. w. Guy, representing the George A.
Bohrer estate, has applied to the District
Commissioners for a remission of penalties
and interest on the tax for 1887 against
subiots l, ?. and 4, square 913, between
Z and G. and 10th and 18th streets south
east, and parts of lots and 20. square
91S. between and o and 10th and 18th
streets southeast, alleging fault on the part
OF the assessors Office in failing to furnish
bills for all taxes when requested, and that
such failure was attributable to the meth
DDS then prevailing in the office.
Mr. II. H. Darneille. the present assessor,
to whom the matter was referred, has re-
ported faverably upon the request as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Guy states that he succeeded to the
management of the estate in 1885, and
since that time has made repeated requests
for all bills against the George A Bohrer
estate. and had no intimation until re-
Gently. upon calling for other bills. that the
bill for 1881 was unpaid, the principal of
which is $6l.91, and. with penalties and in
terest added, amounts to 1882 This
statement of Mr.. Guy is no doubt made in
good faith, and l am inclined to accept it.
Under date of April % Mr. George p
Bohrer son of the late George A Bohrer,
filed a sworn statement that on or about
June 16. 1880. he made application for all
bills against the estate Of George A. Bohrer
Ior tne purpose OF paying same, and a
number of bills Were furnished. amounting
In the aggregate to 81 ,139 q, which he paid
June 80. 1890, and said payment Is EVIL
denced by the records of this office.
I'm view OF the statement of Mr. Guy and
the sworn statement of Mr.. Bohrer / am
forced to the conclusion that the fault was
on the part of the Office, and the taxpayer
should not suffer thereby"
Mr.. Darneille states that he is clearly of
the opinion that relief should be granted
In this case in abattng the nenaIties and
interest on the unpaid tax for 1887 from
June 30, 1890, the date of payment of the
other bills as sworn to by MIR. George r.

FIELD DAY IN WALL STREET.
Corner in Northern Pacific Caused
Panic Among Spectators.

NEW YORK. May 9-The stock exchange
closed at o'clock today, after what his
tory will probably regard as the most ex-
citing day in the annals of Wall street
The corner in Northern Pacific and the
fright 1t caused to spectators generally
brought about mad rush to sell stocks
yesterday afternoon, and today found the
entire financial world waiting with keen
anxiety for the opening prices.
Londons quotations were scanned with
interest. and when IT was seen that they
were higher than last nights close at New
York. many believed that the conflicting
holders of Northern Pacific had come II
an agreement. These hopes melted away
with the first ticker quotations.
Only one stock went up-Northern Pa
cific-showing that the corner was still in
force, and as it went up other securities
fell away with sensational changes in
prices between transactions.
commission houses carrying securities
LOT customers on margin were forced to
throw them over at any price. and for
more than two hours it seemed that there
was no support anywhere. After noon the
Dank presidents had conference, and de-
cided to lend sle.ooo.ooa at 6 per cent, and
then 1t was announced that trading in
Northern Pacific for the present would be
ex-ciearing house, that it is not for imme-
diate delivery.
These two reassuring DEVELOPMENTS
brought about sharp rally in the general
list and for the first time in twenty-f four
hours holders of stocks had a breathing
spell. Coincident with the better feeling
for the majority Of stocks Northern Pa
cific which sold at 1000 share
The market continued feverish but much
qufeter and generally worked higher The
agreement of the banks to lend s16.e99 oQst
at q per cent, and the other agreement to
omit stock exchange clearing house re-
quirements for the present in contracts for
Northern Pacific, had an alternating effect
upon the nervous conditions.
Union Pacific got up 1917 from the bot
tom. Tobacco IL and other stocks smaller
amounts. The higher prices brought on
renewed shower of offerings, under which
prices broke again. Union Pacific fell back
st2, Missouri Pacific I. Atchison 6H and
other stocks from l to ) points. The clos
ing was feverish and erratic.
