A MILLION DOLLARS.
Harry stratton Names His Price for
Dropping the Contest of HIS Fathers

Colorado Springs, Col, Oct. IL.
Harry Stratton announced yesterday
that he had been approached by one
of the executors appointed by his
father in the will, with a proposition
to compromise the contest case, and
answered that he would withdraw his
suit upon settlement of $1,O00,00o.
Attorneys for the executors, admins
traitors and the son were in confer
ence nearly all day and the announce
ment of young Stratton is believed to
be the conclusion that has been ar
rived at.
Proceedings against the executors
have been postponed. At the time ap-
pointed for the executors to come be-
fore Judge Orr, none of them had ap-
peared, nor had they come an hour
thereafter. Later in the day the at
torneys for the administrators filed
reply to the sensational answer of
the executors, charging conspiracy on
the part of the administrators.
Messrs. Blackmer, Hamlin and Grimes
vigorously deny the charges of loot
ing the estate"
Later the entire matter was taken
out of the county court and trans
ferred to the district court, on writ
issued by Judge Cunningham, of the
district court. This writ was secured
by the executors and was agreed to
| by the administrators.
The effect of the order is that the
action of the county court is set
aside, that the case now stands just
as 1t did before the appointment of
administrators by Judge Orr, and fur
ther that the appointment of the adj
ministrators is practically annulled.
1t is n virtual victory for the eXecu-
tors, who have been defending the
dead millionaire's will

TRUST IN TROUBLE.
Receivers nrc Appointed for tho Ma
tional Salt Colt Has Been Losing

Trenton, n. J., Oct. 1.@Chancellor
Magee at his home in Elizabeth has
appointed Frank 2. McDermott, of
Jersey City, and Nathan S. Beardslee,
of Warsaw, n. Y, receivers for the
National Salt Co. The application for
n receiver was made by Chauncey H.
Strickland, of New York City. The
company's liabilities are given at
S1,150,00O and the quick assets $685.
900. 1t is said that the company lost
$255,0O0 during the first six months of
the present year and that it stands
to lose $4,000 n months because of a
contract under which the company
was to purchase from the, Michigan
Salt association and others, at n
stipulated price, about 100000 bar
rels of salt year. This contract will
not expire until January, 1904.
The papers in the case show that
the National Salt Co. was organized
in 1899, with an authorized capital of
$12, ,000,0 900, and that the company SUBJ
sequently absorbed the United Salt
Co., which had been its competitor in
Ohio. For the stock valued at $685.
400 of the United Co, the National
Co. was to have paid out 100000 in
stock of its own company, and S1.055,.
900 in cash. The cash was secured by
certificates of debt, which were to be
paid off in semi-annual installments
OF this amount $6s5,o0 still remains
unpaid and default was made in the
July payment.
The application for receiver was
accompanied by an affidavit of Frank
P. Slave, chairman of the executive
committee of the National Salt Co.
who admitted all the facts set out in
the bill

DURAND'S BROTHER.
He Is Selected TO Head the Demo-
cratic State Ticket In MIchignn.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 1.-After an ami
mated discussion lasting nearly three
hours yesterday, the democratic state
central committee selected l.. L. Du-
rand, of Saginaw, as the party's candi-
date for governor. The new nomina-
ton was made necessary by the with
drawal of Judge George HI. Durand, of
Flint, n brother of the last nominee.
Judge Durand was stricken with
paralysis five weeks ago and his con-
dition has remained such that all
thought of his going through cam
paign or filling the office of governor
had to be abandoned.
The fight yesterday lay between the
gold democrats, who favored l.. L.
Durand, and the silver leaders, who
wanted to nominate State Senator j.
w. Helme, of Adrian; Charles r.
Sigh, of Grand Rapids, or some other
democrat who had come out as n sill
YER man in 1896. Helme's friends
stood by his declaration that the
state convention should be recon
vened to fill Judge Durand's place on
the ticket and as he had declared that
he would not accept nomination at
the hands of the committee, his name
was not presented. On the second
formal ballot, the committee stood Ia
for Durand and 10 for Sigh, the nomi.
nation of Durand being Immediately
thereafter made unanimous.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.
They Assemble In State Convention
Mt Saratoga Ticket Promulgated
from HIPS Headquarters.

Saratoga. n. Y, Oct. 1.-For COVER
nor, Bird S. Coler, of Kings; for lieu
tenant governor, Charles n. Bull
ger, of Oswego; for comptroller, c.
M. Preston, of Ulster; for secretary
of state, Frank II. Mott, of Chautau-
qua; for attorney general, John Cum
neen, of Erie; for engineer, Richard
w. Herman, of Oneida; for treasurer,
d. J. Van Auken, of Ontario; for
judge of court of appeals, John c.
Gray, of New York.
This is the ticket promulgated last
night from the headquarters of Sena-
tor Hill. 1t was the result of long
conference of many of the state lead
ers, in which Senator Hill and Hugh
Mclaughlin took a leading part.
The announcement of this tenta-
tive ticket was received quietly by the
throngs in the hotel corridors and
later rumors were circulated that
when it got before the convention it
might not stand. The Kings county
delegates, led by Senator McCarren,
were prominent in talking of the pros
pective changes. Despite this the Hill
people went serenely on making ar
rangements for the nomination of the
ticket. In all of this preliminary work
Tammany took no part and, in fact,
after the first conference, Kings
county absented itself.

PRESIDENTS CONDITION.
Another Operation Performed on
Injured Limb-Bone Slightly
Affected.


Washington, Sept. 2o.--Secretary
Cortelyou at $3.50 o'clock Sunday after
noon issued the following statement:
''Dr. Newton M. Shaffer, of New
York, joined the presidents physicians
in consultation Sunday morning at 10
o'clock. The increase in local symp-
toms and rise in temperature rem
dered it necessary to make an incision
into the small cavity, exposing the
bone, which was found to be slightly
affected. Thorough drainage is now
established, and the physicians feel
confident that recovery will be unin-
terrupted. The operation was per-
formed by Surgeon General Rixey, as
sisted by DIR. Lung, and in consultation
with Surgeon General O'Reilly and
Doctors Shaffer, Uric and Stitt.
GEORGE b. CORTELYOU,
Secretary to the President"
Another operation was performed
Sunday on the abscess on the left leg Of
President Roosevelt. In the former
operations a simple needle was used to
relieve the trouble, but on Sunday the
surgeons, with a knife, made an in
clSlon lHlO Ine SIIldll cavity, tNDOSIhS
the bone, which was found to be slight
ly affected. The presidents case has
been progressing satisfactorily. but it
is believed by the physicians that the
further operation will hasten his COM
plete recovery. While none of the doc
tors is willing to be quoted, they give
the most positive assurances that
there is not the least cause for alarm,
and say that on the contrary there is
every indication of speedy recovery,
that the area of bone affected is very
slight, and will not result in any i'm
pairment of the presidents limb, and
that there is no evidence whatever of
any matter that would produce blood
poisoning. They confidently expect
that the president will be on his feet
within reasonable time, and with his
robust constitution to assist recovery
soon will be himself again.
The president stood the operation
very well and subsequently expressed
his satisfaction at the successful re-
suit. The physicians take a roseate
view of the presidents prospects for
getting out again. He has become
somewhat restive because of his close
confinement, and the physicians are
considering the advisability of permit
ting him to take a ride in a few days.
The physicians say the question now
is simply one of the healing of the
wound, and reiterate that this will be
hastened by the operation made Sun
day. In the evening DR.. Shaffer, while
he declined to discuss generally the
presidents case, authorized in the
most positive manner the statement
that there need not be the least cause
for anxiety or alarm regarding his con.
dition. but said on the contrary he could
give every assurance of the belief that
the president would soon recover.

BY TRIO OF BANDITS.
Stage Coach Held Up In Now York
State on Lonely Highway Driver
shot at Passengers Compelled 90
Hand Over Their vnIuabIes.

Mddletown, n. Y, Oct. 1.-The
stage coach Pioneer, which makes
daily trips between Warwick and
Goshen, was held up and robbed by
three masked horsemen late Tuesday
afternoon.
The coach was bowling along the
road two miles from Florida and at
lonely spot on the road Clinton and
Horatio S. Wisner, who own the
coach and were on it, saw the men on
horses suddenly emerge from the
dense woods which line the highway.
Clinton was driving. The robbers
ordered him to pull up his horses.
This he refused to do and the high
waymen opened fire with revolvers.
None of the shots took effect, but
the shooting had the effect of COM
pelling the driver to bring his horses
to stop.
Inside the coach were Mrs. J. A.
Chamberlain, Mrs. George Webster,
Mrs. James Fuller, Mrs. Hart and
Mrs. Ed. johnson, all of Florida.
While two of the highwaymen covered
the Wisner brothers with their revol-
vers the third, using many threats,
compelled the passengers to give up
all their money and valuables.
After the robbery had been COM
pleted the robbers spurred up their
horses and escaped.
When news of the holdup became
known this whole section of Orange
county was first astounded and then
excited. Posses of armed men were
hastily formed and started search
for the highwaymen.
Clinton Wisner is president of the
village of Warwick.

STARTLING REPORT.
An Immigration Commissioner Tells
OF Abuses that Prevailed mt Ellis

OF ADuses thnt Frevntteu mt Eiun
Island.
New York, Oct. 1.-The annual re-
port of the commissioner of immigra-
tion ut this port, William Williams,
was 1iled Tuesday with the secretary
of the treasury and in the document
the commissioner criticises without
reserve conditions which surrounded
the landing of immigrants at Ellis
Island during the ten months previ-
GUS to the change of administration
there due to Mr.. Williams appoint
ment. He says:
THE chief inspector was allowed to
arbitRrily mark the word hold
against the name of any immigrant
on she manifest, thus causing to be
brought to him certain picked people
to be disposed of as he thought best,
instead of allowing them to be in
spected in the regular way. The fact
that most of those so marked had
fair amounts of money and that many
so marked were able-bodied people
with very large amounts of money,
are points not without interest"
The commissioner says that the inn
migrants were roughly handled and
addressed in rough language by gov
ernment and railroad officials; that
the detention pens" were filthy, par
ticularly the dining room, where, the
report says, the immigrants were fed
without knives, forks or spoons; that
railroad and other passes used to be
demanded to a demoralizing extent;
that 'ships after ships" brought in
cases of scab diseases and eye disease,
both dangerous contagious diseases
unknown in this country until import
ed in recent years from Europe.
The commissioner says the con-
stantly deteriorating quality of the
recent immigration calls for the exc
cution of the law in the most
stringent manner, and he states that
last year over 1000 aliens who had
arrived within the year became desti-
tute in New York.
