Washington, Sept. 23.-William Mel

ganization committee of the Seventh
national bank of New York, accom-
panied by E. K. Stallo and Forrest
Raynor, receiver of the Seventh ma
tional bank, called at the office of

the readjustment of the affairs of the
Seventh national bank, under author
ity of which the depositors of the
bank will be paid in full with interest
as quickly as the legal requirements
in the case of reorganized banks can
be complied with, which will be but a
few weeks. One million seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars in cash has
been subscribed, over $1,50O,0O0 of
which has already been paid into the
hands of the committee.
The reorganization committee have
presented two alternative plans for re-
organization, both of which have been
approved by the comptroller. The de-
cision as to the one which shall be
followed will be determined by the
committee within the next week.

CAUTION FROM DIR. RIX.EY.
Says That Too Much encouragement
Must Not Be Entertained Re-
gareling Mrs. Mckinley.

Canton, O., Sept. 23.-At ten o'clock
Saturday morning DR.. Rixey said:
"Mrs. McKinley's grief is intense. She
is doing as well as could be expected,
however. Too much encouragement
should not be taken at this early day
regarding her."
To all outward appearances the
Mckinley home is bat one of the pref
ty comfortable homes ,of North Mar
ket street, Canton's most desirable
residence section. No guard sur
rounds the beautiful lawn, and no
doorkeeper stands at the door to greet
and hold in check the steady stream
of callers that was wont to seek adj
mission during the life of the late
president. Within is a grief-stricken,
heart-broken woman, well-nigh pros
trated by bereavement such as few
women have ever been called upon to
bear. She is showing remarkable
fortitude and her friends are encour-
aged to hope, but are still apprehen-
sive. There has been no material
change in her condition during the
past "a hours.
1t is thought that Mrs. Mckinley
may be able to go for a short drive
during the middle of the day. She will
be encouraged to do so if possible.
Weather conditions are favorable, and
it is felt the drive would do her good.
The day was bright and much warmer.

the ship.
The witness also said that when
Commodore Schley first came aboard
he had said that it was his intention
to take the bombarding ships by
slowly and to have them fire DELHI
erately, $50 as to sink the Colon at
her mornings" This intention had
rec been carried out, he said, as the
ships had passed the mouth of the
harbor at the rate of ten knots an
hour and the firing was as rapid as
possible to get good pointings.
Commander Schroeder said that he
had not known Of the order to Schley
to proceed from Cienfuegos to San
tiago if satisfied that the enemy was
not at the former place.
On redirect examination, Mr.. Hanna
asked if, in accordance with the
terms of this order, the fleet had pro-
ceeded with all dispatch" to Santi-
ago. The witness replied that it had
not. He thought that the speed was
nothing like as great as it might
have been. The battleships, he said,
should not have held up on account of
the collier; it could have been de-
pended upon to come up later.
At.3:40 p. m. the court adjourned
until Monday.

of France Regarding Franco
Russian Alliance.
ARE PLEDGED TO HUMANE SETTLEMENTS
Believed That. Remark Referred to
Affairs in South Africa-MOve to

ain Stirred Up Over Reverses Re-
ported by Lord Kitchener.

Betheny, France, Sept. 23.-In his
speech at the luncheon which fol-
lowed the review Saturday, President
ton by saying:
"The Franco-Russian alliance is
pledged to settlements inspired by
justice and humanity"
Whether rightly or otherwise, some
OF his hearers took the remark to re-
fer to affairs in South Africa.
Before the luncheon the czar,
czarina and President Loubet re-
viewed 100000 troops on the Plain of
Betheny. The march past lasted from
1O:45 a. m. till lilo p. M, terminating
in magnificent charge of 10000
cavalry. The spectacle was very i'm
posing, as the infantry went by $50
files deep, with fixed bayonets.
Beers Are Seeking Arbitration.
The Hague, Sept. 23.-Baron Van
Lynden, the minister of foreign af-
fairs, has forwarded to the legations
and members of the council of the
court of arbitration copy of the
Boer appeal for arbitration, with
notification that he intends to bring
up the appeal for consideration at
the first meeting of the council. The
date of the meeting is not fixed.
Anxious Over Reverses.
London, Sept. 23.-While Mr.. Kruger
and DR.. Leyds are drawing up petit
tions to President Roosevelt and the
car, asking them to intervene, the
fighting Beers are helping themselves
in South Africa by celebrating the ex-
piration of the period in which Lord
Kitchener proclaimed they must sur
render by four notable successes, kill
ing IS officers and men, wounding So
and capturing five guns and 300 men.
The situation is singularly like the
opening of the war, two years ago, the
names of the same places recurring in
the dispatches. Utrecht, where Maj.
Cough was entrapped, was the scene

In Cape Colony fighting is again GO

pursuers half dozen times.
The governments publication of
these reverses causes an outburst of
evaporation against the conduct of
the war, not in South Africa, but by the
ministry. The great ministerial jour-
nails accuse the government of trying
to run the war "on the cheap" by not
providing Lord Kitchener with suff-
cient resources.
The Times, while it has no misgiv-
ings as to the final issue, accuses the
home authorities of lack of organized,
sustained effort, of a disposition to
postpone military for financial consid-
erations and of failure to grasp the
moral and intellectual damage which

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 23.-Three men
were killed and one probably fatally
hurt at Wayne, Mich, small place
about IL miles west of here, Friday
night as the result of freight wreck
on the Pere Marquette railroad. The
dead are: Charles De Long, Bay City,
Mich; George Leopard, Bay City; j.
w. Sweeney, Toledo, o. The injured
man is Lemuel McNay, residence I'M
known. He is badly crushed and may
die. The men, it is supposed, were
stealing a ride. The wreck occurred
on account of the sudden application
of the brakes by the engineer to
avoid running into a car on the track
ahead of the train. Four cars in the
train piled up as a result, the men
being crushed in the wreckage. The
property damage was not large.

Woman Sets Fire to Husbands Barn
and Calmly Waits for Death
in Flames.

Detroit, Mich. Sept. ga special to
the News from Manistee, Mich, says:
Sitting in an upright position, in one
corner of the barn in the rear of her
residence, Mrs. Mary Bumpke, aged
81 years, calmly awaited death by a
fire which was apparently set by her
own hand. When William Bumpke was
awakened by neighbors, who discov-
cred the barn afre, it was to find that
his wife, who had retired with him tie,
at night, was missing. No great
anxiety was felt until after the flames
had been subdued, when the headless
and legless trunk of the woman was
found sitting upright in one corner of
the ruins. She had been in poor health
for some time.

Nearly Lynched.

Leadville, Col, Sept. 23.-An Italian
miner at the Elk mine remarked that
all kings and presidents should be
killed, and that it was the right thing
to kill Mckinley. Three hundred
miners gathered at the shaft house,
waited until the fellow appeared,
placed rope around his neck and
started for railroad trestle. On the
advice of some of the crowd the mans
life was spared, but he was badly
choked and driven out of the camp by
the miners with drawn revolvers.
