LETTER SETTLE AT 20 PER CENT"
Wall Street Hears OF Proposal to Credi'
tors--Friends Say stOry's Unauthorized.


story was circulated in Wall street
Yesterday afternoon that Joseph Letter,
the head of the great wheat corner OF 1897
and the following year, had submitted to
his creditors proposal to settle their
claims against him at 20 cents on the dollar.
This proposal 1t was said, had been made
through an attorney. II specified that
all creditors should agree to accept a settle
ment on the basis stipulated. 1t was said
also that the suggestion had been con-
yeyed in circulars sent out that II the credi-
tors do not agree to the 20 per cent. settle
ment the alternative will be for Mr.. Letter
to 20 through bankruptcy proceedings.
Young Letters father. Levi e. Letter. ac-
cordinR to the rumor, will guarantee the
settlement proposed.
1t has been understood that young Letters
debts were all wiped out, soon after the COL
lapse OF the corner by his father who, 1t
was said, had mortgaged his real estate
holdings to raise the millions that were
needed and had cancelled the obligation
with the understanding that the money
would ultimately come out Of Joseph's
share OF the family estate.
Joseph Letter has made his headquarters
in this city since the smash occurred. He
is in Mexico at present. Several OF his close
friends said that there wasn't any truth in
the report of proposal to compound his
debts. Letter. they said, had not init
mated to them that he contemplated making
such proposal before he left the city on
April 20. They suggested that II any such
proposal ia being made it probably comes
from somebody who wants TO buy up Mr..
Letters paper cheap. as good thing
~Why" said one man. MIR. Letter, I'm
sure, hasn't taken any such action. He
owed u 900 900 after the crash and know
that he has paid N.5oo,ooo of the amount
already. His creditors haven't been press
ing him, and don't believe they would
accept a 20 per cent proposition. They
know their chance Of getting the entire
amount due them is too good. Joe Letter
cleared up 100000 on stocks alone last
year He'll wipe out the rest OF his indebt-
edness in full.

the power Of negotiation and, II necessary,
retaliation whenever our own interests or
our relations with the colonies are threat
ened by other people"
Mr.. Chamberlain concluded by expressing
the desire that the subject be discussed.
1t was an issue O the greatest consequene
and an opportunity had now occurred Of de-
Gliding it which the English would never have
again.
LONDON, May le,-Mr. Chamberain's
speech is regarded as remarkable, not only
as rousng trumpet call for new policy,
but for it's fiat inconsistency with an aca
demic speech, In which few hours earlier
Prime Minister Balfour, with characteristic
serenity, rejected the appeal of an inhuen-
tial deputation, headed by the Right Hon.
Henry Chaplin, formerly president Of the
Board OF Agriculture, and the Duke Of
Rutland, for the withdrawal of the Govern
ment's decision to repeal the corn duty.
A contrast between the speeches is sharply
and significantly drawn in a majority OF
the editorials published this morning.
There is a certain refreshment. says the
Times, In turning from Mr.. Balfour's un-
satisfactory reply to Mr.. Chamberlain's s
earnest appeal, which, the paper declares,
cannot pass unheeded.
The Standard, a Ministerial organ, al
though it does not indorse Mr.. Chamber
lain's views, declares significantly that
the speech will be remembered hereafter
as the starting point OF a new development
even in party relations.
The Tory Morning P''a says that Mr.
Chamberlain has started on path, In which,
80 long as he leads, he will not lack fol-
lowers. for the spirit in which he leads is the
right one.
The Daily Mail predicts that the effect
OF the speech will be more far-reaching
than any OF its hearers could at the moment
realize. 1t was the word htly spoken by a
statesman whose courage and strength
come like a sea breeze after the vaoillation
and weakness OF his colleagues.
The Chroni, le Liberal-r nionist. remarks
upon the divergence Of Mr. Chamberlain's
and Mr.. Balfour's speeches, and asks why
in the name OF common sense and co n
sistency does not the Government itself
set an example Of the policy advocated by
the Colonial Secretary by remitting the
corn tax in favor Of the Colonies alone.
The Daily Neus, Radical. heads it's edi-
torial sThe Chamberlain Revolt" and
dwells upon the disintegration OF the Con-
eervative party.

April l5-l0 Days Overdue.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The old sailing
ship Alliance, used as a training vessel for
naval apprentices, is overdue sixteen days
from Kingston, Jamaica, and the Navy
Department is much concerned. She left
Kingston on April II and was due to reach
Hampton Roads on April 70. Efforts were

this and to order the vessel to be at Hamp-
ton Roads on April %, whom squadron

departure Of the Alliance from Kingston
on April 1s. but orders were telegraphed
for her to leave one day earlier and to
make the run to Hampton Roads. distance
OF 1900 miles, in IL days, permitting an
average speed Of lie knots an hour.
Owing to the fact that the Alliance has
only sail power. no concern was felt when
abe did not reach Hampton Roads on sched-
ule time. It was regarded as exceedingly
likely that she had met with adverse winds
and the winds prevailing on her course are
usually Of that character to northbound

went on and the Alliance did not make

plement numbers about 1856. She is CON-
manded by Commander j. B. Murdock
who recently relieved Commander Samuel

that number Of attempts had been made
to bribe him into making State appoint
ments. The Governor refused to make
known the names OF his attempted bribers
but public investigation may force him to

The statement was made in answering
the charge that his appointment of oil in
spectors was made at the request Of the
Standard Oil Company.
The Governor denied this charge and then
said one seeker after the place had offered
him 81 900 out OF the first years salary and
that similar offers had been made for other
appointments. A candidate for the place
of Commander of the Soldiers Home at
