DENIED BY GOVERNOR SHAW
HAS NOT BEEN INTERVIEWED
AND WILL NOT BE
Regarding Secretary Cages Admins
tration Of the Treasury Depart.
ment or His Own.

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 2S.-Governor
Shaw when seen by the Associated
Press correspondent tonight denied
having given an interview regarding
Secretary Cages treasury policy. On
the contrary he has positively refused
to give any such interview, he has,
however, spoken in the most cordial
terms of approval of Secretary Cages
administration of the department.
The governor has been very busy all
day receiving further congratulations
by wire and mail and entertaining
those who could pay their respects.
Governor Shaw says he positively
refuses to be interviewed at present
in respect to the currency question,
or in respect to his or Secretary
Cages administration of the treasury
department. He said, however, that
the nearest he came to an expression
of opinion of the asset currency ques-
ton was in a speech delivered at Nor.
folk, Neb., last April, and which was
published IN the Bankers Journal of
| July, but he would not say just what

BY Action of Representatives of Great
American Meat Firms in

Berlin, Dec. 2S.-American diplo-
macy in Belin, so far as it relates to
the commercial controversy, is ham
pered by the interference of private
institutions. The force Of the repre-
sensations of the state department
have been impaired by American bus
mess men acting Independently of
diplomatic channels. This is the rath-
Ell startling purport on a communica-

recently expressed hopes that an i'm
provement had begun have, been dis
appointed. The railway earnings
show a decrease, compared with 1900.
A significant fact is that 1870 Berlin
machine shops and electri-
cal establishments have petitioned the
ministry for orders, wen at prices
envolving a loss, in order to avoid dis
charging their laborers. Elsewhere
the dismissals Of working people, the
curtailment of wages and the short
ening of hours Of labor continue. The
greatest iron company in Selicia has
just reduced wages Is per cent. The
depression in Berlin is shown by the
fact that the sales of Christmas trees
were 100000 less than in 1900. The
merchants have begun to feel the ef-
fects of the lowering purchasing pow
ers of the people. Some financiers
refer to the lower money rates and to
the demand for foreign loans as in
dications of returning confidence.
More careful critics of the situation,
however, see therein evidence of lack
of confidence in Germany's business
situation which prevents any new in
dustrial undertaking at the low prices
of raw materials and the papers say
no improvement may be expected
while the uncertainty regarding COM
mercial treaties lasts.

Helena, Dec. 27.-The police are in
vestigating a story, told by Mrs. Mary

RloTING IN BUENos AYREs.
Street Demonstrations Give Rise to
Rumors of Revolution.

Buenos Ayres, Dec. 27.-Street
demonstrations yesterday evening
which were suppressed by the police
gave rise to certain rumors of a revo-
lutionary movement which had no
foundation in fact. Certain streets of
Buenos Ayres are occupied tonight by
a force of policemen, who will pre-
vent further manifestation.
DR.. Alcorta, when questioned this
evening by a correspondent of the
Associated Press on the incident arts
ing from the alleged changing of a

Yanez, reported that he attached no
Importance to this matter and he be-

Elizabeth City, Dec. 27.-Five
weeks of mystery and speculation as
to the fate of Nellie Cropsey terminal
ed today at 10 o'clock when the body
of the missing girl was found floating
in the river opposite her fathers home.
The body was discovered by ]. D. Still
man, a fisherman. Upon discovering
that the floating object was the body
of a young girl, he Immediately notiti-
ed the When found the body
was floating face downward. All the
wearing apparel was intact with the
exception of the rubbers which Nellie
wore on the night of her disappearance
and her hat which were missing.
With the exception Of some light
d%iscoloration Of the face the body was
in a state of good preservation and
little decomposed, and was easily
identified as that of Nellie. The spot
where the body was found had been
dragged severa! times since her dis
appearance but with no result.
Coroner Fearing summoned a jury
of prominent men and called in three
of the best physicians of the city to
make a thorough and exhaustive au-
topsy to learn if there were any signs
of violence on the body but up to this
time nothing official can be learned
from the physicians as they refuse
ohc01rtn1u RI Oiun ont onu inform QfjNn
until after they make their report to
the %coroner's jury, which convenes at 8
o'clock tonight after an adjournment
at 6 o'clock without reaching any YER
dict. The jury has been in almost n
tinuous session since the finding Of
the body and holding of the autopsy
and very much depends on the con-
struction of their verdict as to what
will be the fate Of young Wilcox.
Great crowds are assembled in front
! of the academy Of music building
where the jury is in session awaiting
the verdict, anxious to learn whether
the girl met with foul play or commit
ted suicide.
Anticipating that trouble may be
brewing for young Wilcox, Ne naval
reserves have been ordered out to
maintain order and peace and to see
that no violence is offered Wilcox. BY
order Of the mayor all barrooms in
the city have been closed. Wilcox has
been removed from the mayors office
where he has been since his arrast
this afternoon to the county Jail for his
own protection and a strong guard has
been placed around the Jail to see
that no violence is offered him.

to express an opinion as to the cause
of the death of Nellie. The mother Of

gested the memoranda for explaining
Gl.man governmental views on three
or .our things that are the subjects of
correspondence with the foreign Of
fee. There is the meat question, al
ways with us, and likely to be again
troublesome in the spring, if our new
inspection regulations become oper-
alive. Underlying the meat question
is, of curse the protective tariff idea,
in which your statesmen have educat-
ed us. But beyond that, how can you
blame us if we exclude canned meats
after the embalmed beef testimony.
Public opinion here has a most UNI
pleasant recollection of that, and it
is now irritated by the boastful ut
terances of representatives of great
meat firms whose attitude is, that
whether the meat is good or bad
Germans must buy it, as they cannot
raise nearly enough for their own
use. These firms, I may say, are
striving to reach the German govern
ment by influences outside Of your
state department, and much of the
trouble we are giving American insti-
buttons originates in the intrigues of
the great Eel against each other,
in order to secure a semi-exclusive
field. They have filed several cases
