United States Circuit Court Of Appeals last Mon
day. by Senator Foraker, of Cincinnati; Edward

Of Louisville attorneys for Talbot J. Taylor
& Co, is said TO have had much to do with the
trouble on the New-York Stock Exchange this
week. While there have been many briefs filed
here this year in the litigation between the Keene
and the Hartman interests, it is said by local
brokers that the proceedings this week We're ac-
cepted by the Hartman interests as a declaration
of war The brief cited than five hundred
authorities and consisted of about thirty thousand
words
1t asked only for reversal of the recent decision
of Judge Lurton in refusing restrain the voting
at the next annual election of the Southern Pacific
company of stock held by the Union Pacific com
pany, but also charges such diverting OF funds
from the Southern Pacific to the Central and Union
Pacific as to justify judicial action Many authori-
ties were cited to show that where a majority OF
the stock was used for the benefit of individuals
rather than of the company receiverships were
justified
1t is said that the controlling interests of the
Soutern Pacific anticipated that Talbot j. Taylor
( Co would next apply for receiver and that war
was then made on them that they could not
continue TO hold the stock heretofore credited TO

Dr. LittIefelds Chemical Solution
for Producing animated Germs.

Anderson, Ind. July 25.-Dr. Charles w.
Littlefeld, Of Alexandria. Ind. says he has
created life in the form of thousands Of atoms,
animated substances. similar to we'll de-
veloped germs of life and trilobites He says
he brought this about with one ounce of COM

of 80 per cent alcohol. all mixed In an ordinary
glass dish. and two ounces OF aqua ammonia
distributed in five small plates and all covered
with alright glass tube
According to Dr. Littlefield. In ninety minutes
salt crystals were impregnated with the hydro

solution and transformed into living forces that
Immediately sought nourishment through me-

not affected by the chemical mixture retained
their original cubic square form. while the
magnetized crystals were of hexagon shape

ALL TO DRILL TOGETHER.
Plan for Camp for City's National
Guard ORGANIZATIONS.

General James McLeer, commander Of the
Second Brigade, N G. n. Y, acting under or
ders from Major General Roe. State Commander.
is looking for a suitable camp site on Long
Island. where all the National Guard organiza-
tions Of New-York City, exclusive of the naval
militia, may be modified for division manosu-
vres for week or ten days next summer. The
troops would engage in all such movements as
would be required in active service. and various
brigades could be opposed 10 one another in
mimic warfare. II is thought that the ex-
perience would be invaluable both 20 the off,
GERS and men. The troops which would partici-
pate in such mObiliza tion include nine regi-
ments and a separate company OF infantry, one
regiment of artillery, one regiment OF engineers
one squadron and a separate troop Of cavalry
two signal corps and three light batteries.
Three camp sites have been proposed, one at
Montauk Point, another near Jamaica and
third at Lloyd's Neck, Huntington Harbor. Old
Camp Black on the Hampstead Plains. where
the volunteers gathered at the outbreak of the
Spanish war, will not be considered. as it is too
fat and too far from the shore The full de-
tails of the proposed mobilization have not been
considered Yet. but there seems TO be little
doubt that the idea will be carried out.

Brooklyn Dentist Depressed O0er
Stock Slump, 1t Is SAID.

HAD BEEN NERVOUS SOME DAYS.
Financial losses due to the recent depression of
the stock market are believed to have been re-
sponsible for the death of Dr.. Louis Shaw. a
dentist who shot himself in his bedroom at his
home, No. 1872 Remsen-st.. Brooklyn, yesterday
Since stocks began to fall DR.. Shaw had been
gradually growing more and more depressed, al
though he rarely spoke about his investments
on the advice of h:s physicians he had taken
several Short trips out of the city, but was un-
able to Throw off his anxiety
The Slump in prices on Friday made the
dentist more nervous than ever, but his condi-
tion was not such as to alarm the family par
ticularly. Yesterday at 1870 a. m Mrs. Shaw
went TO his room. He had been sleeping late re-
Gently. She found her husband lying in a pool
of blood the bed. In his hand was a .3S-
calibre revolver. Physicians found that death
had been instantaneous. A member of the fam
iy heard a shot about S O'clock but thought
that it came from neghboring street
DR.. Shaw was born in England 1fty-two years
ago. He came to this country as a boy. He
was graduated from the dental school of the
University of Pennsylvania, and for several
years he practsed in Rio Janeiro and then
came TO Brooklyn and went into partnership
with DR.. Charles P. Cook. Ten years ago he
married DR.. Cooks daughter and they lived

YOUNGS GOING FURTHER.
Mag Be More Postoffce Indictments
August Grand Jury.

That bottom has not yet been reached in the
probing by United States District Attorney
Youngs in Brooklyn. after the irregularities OF
those connected with the Postofice Department,
officially and indirectly, is shown by the fact
that yesterday Commissioner Benedict and Mar
shal Haubert empaneled federal grand jury
for August, an almost unprecedented thing.
Just what new evidence is to be presented and
whether it leads to other men than those al
ready under indictment only be conjectured
Colonel Youngs would say nothing. The inn
preston prevails, however, that in digging up
the evidence against George W. Beavers, for
mer Congressman briggs and the others in
connection with the Brandt-Dent cash register
transactions they have struck trail that leads
to some other men. That there was some haste
in following up the trail would seem to be indi-
Gated by the fact that the grand jury was
drawn yesterday afternoon, instead of to-mor-
Tuesday.
Postoffice Inspectors Little and Oldheld are
expected to return tomorrow.
District Attorney Youngs still maintains his
reticence to his reasons for not having Mr..
Beavers arrested in Manhattan.

people, The Koran forbids Turkish woman TO
take part in a ceremony at which wine is used
The difficulty was overcome by the selection Of an
American woman to break the bottle on the bow
OF the ship. When the Medjidia glided down the
ways 154 o'clock, grouped about the platform
were a dozen Turkish officials. They included
Chekib Bey Turkish Minister to the United States;
his two sons, Ali Bey and Osman Beyi Djelal
Munif Bey, first secretary of the Ottoman Lega-
ton; Sidkey Bey, consul at New-York City; his
secretary Selim Bey; Hald Bey and his secre-

conducts a boarding house at No. 461 Lexington
ave, where the sisters have been staying for the
last five weeks. The sisters speak seven languages

According to Mrs. Squire, they failed to pay their
rent three weeks ago, and then the trouble began
Mrs Squire said that when she asked them TO pay
their rent Oceanic replied that she was Queen
Victoria who dissatisfied with her lot after death
had come back 10 life while PeIOge said she
the Empress Eugenie. When Mrs Squire insisted
on being paid the sisters said they would give her
the money due if she would put the seal of the
United States the receipt. Yesterday Mrs
Squire got a dspossess in the Civil Court, which
will be served tomorrow.
Soon after 10 o'clock on Friday night the boarders

from the rooms of the Misses Fischer. 1t was at
first thought that they had committed suicide. but

UNITED STATES AND CUBAN LOAN.
No Evidence of Any Intention to Interfere
with Placing It.

Washington July 25-Careful inquiry in eX-
ecntive circles fails to discover any evidence
of an intention on the part of the United States
Government or its agencies to interfere in any
way with the placing of the $35,OOOOOO Cuban
loan. When the loan was first projected some
inquiries were unofticially made by the Cuban
agents to whether the loan would be repug-
nant to the Platt amendment. Secretary Root
being then in charge of Cuban affairs. without
making any official statement let it be known
that the only test that would be applied would
relate to the ability of Cuba to pay the loan and
meet the interest. 1t would be for the buyers of
the bonds themselves to determine Whether or
not the loan was sound, for the United States
Government did not propose at that stage to
enter into the subject, and the bond purchasers,
realizing the risk involved would fix their bids
upon that basis. SO far can be learned. that
is the situation now.
