The affairs of the Masonic Temple as

holders. Five directors for three years
were elected, as follows: Asa Paine, r.

The report of President. A. r. Ankeny
showed that Of the floating indebtedness
of s38,000 which existed in 1892, the bal
ance, $4,000, had bee npaid this year
Thus, with interest, the association has
paid off nearly 100000 in eleven years
The next effort will be to remove $685. 900
of the $125,000s mortgage indebtedness.
It is expected that this amount will be
paid within three years. -" .%|''
The Masonic bodies hold about 81 per
cent Of the $1S7,s00. capital which is d.
vided into 1916 shares, t.. remainder SO
per cent, is held by others. President
Ankeny recommended that the ultimate
aim Of the Masonic bodies be to acquire
this remaining stock. This, the president
stated, would be not only to carry out
the original design Of the founders, but
to follow good business methods
The directors will meet Saturday to
elect officers.

Arrangements have been completed for

term will be identical with that of the
Minneapolis public schools and by vote of
the school board the work done there
will be accepted in the public schools.
This removes the principal obstacles to
an early removal to the lake and will be
an arrangement much appreciated by
many families. The school will be taught

MR.. J..P. MORGAN'S PHRASE
The "Undigested Securities Inter
: view Causes Furry in
'.-~' >s" Wall Street. ....

New York. April 9-.The interview given out
by Mr. Morgan last week has created more
profound impression on Wall street than has
ever before been created by an interview Of this
character given by. any one. - F-.
W. T. Fenton. manager of the Chicago clear
ing-house, and f. A. Hamill, president of the
Chicago Corn Exchange bank, have come out
openly and ted that they do not agree with
Mr.. Morgan's statement that most Of the recent
capital can be called ''digestible." Particularly
they say is this objection true with regard to
recent hoated tndustrials: A good deal of this
Industrial capital. say these bankers. is about
as absolutely ''indigestible" it possibly could
be- 1t is rather strange that nearly all these
critics init out the most absolutely 'fndigest-
ible'' securities the market or likely 10 come
the market, the stocks of Mr.. Morgan's mer-
camille marine. -. F'Fg ss-29 = "a f&s-.-tsa
:. That phrase Of Mr.. AIorgans, "undigested Sc
curities,'' has become Dyword in Wall street.
All the financial papers are using it whenever
they have the slightest opportunity. The New
York Herald printed ON Monday morning most
remarkable half-page article which proved ''eon-
clusively'' that the total amount Of ''undigested
sccurities'' in the market at the present time
IS about 81 $40 500. 900. The Herald makes the
statement that this terrible Of securities
is held in the hands of various syndicates, etc,
and that the manufacturers of stocks and bonds
have been compelled to absorb their prod
ucts The paper furnishes full list Of the
stocks and bonds which it says ''undigested''
and which it hints are decidedly 'indigestible.
The summary looks like this:
J. p. Morgans issues ........... 1855, 900, 00h
Undigested fndustrials ........... 7so, SOC, 900
Partially undfgested railroad issues 405, ,000
Grand total ...........-...... 81, s4o, SOC, 900
If the Herald had been content to publish its
comment and this list of totals alone the article
in question would probably have made Wall
street very blue for week or two AS it was
a very funny, but very natural thing hap
pened. For instance, in the list Of tundigested
industrals' there was included an item of
$59OO0,O6O United States Realty and Construc
ton securities. Harris Gates & Co.. comment
ing on the article OH their morning Slips agreed
with all Of 1t except this item. Mr.. Gates is a
director of United States Realty. Another item

begins to look as though there would be nothing
left in it before long. On the very day that 1t

Erie bonds and $3.50, 900, 900 of International Ma
