8 november 1904. Denna kritik
grundar sig pa den tanken att
dessa franchises eller ordinances

orattvisa, da de jemf0ras med

pany at Sioux Citys medborgare.
For att CORA de rostegande och
andra, som arc intreserade i denna

mig att en- jemforelse Dor goras

Jag har framf0r mig dessa
franchises. Det ar Ell nodvandigt
att anstalla MACON jemforelse an
gaende den franchisen, som kom-
mer att framlaggas for de rosie

gandet af en- station for varmeled

emedan denna franchise Ell har
nagot gemensamt med de andra
denna fraga, men den franchise,
som beviljats Sioux City Gas and
Electric Company, och den
franchise, som Diet ar fr8ga om
att bevilja Edward Tilden och

Prices of Securities Drop from Two to

Wall street Thursday passed through
the worst panic II had seen since the
terrible crash Of May o, 1901--the day
of the elimination Of the Northern Pa

tions were sacrificed. the good with the
bad, and the losses in both classes We're

IN all cases they were strenuously denied,

the Stee!s. Union Pacific, st. Paul and

heavy sufferers also.
The panic began in New York when
the suspension of w. Z. Badeau of the

The suspension came after the weakness

porting orders. The fluctuations were
violent and frequent. Toward the end

abandoned and prices slumped through

alarmed brokers precipitated heavy liqui-

FLEET Is WIPED OUT.

Japanese Fire from 2O3-Meter Hill

The Russian squadron at Port Ar

deadly fire of the Japanese naval guns
mounted on 203-Meter Hill, ship after
ship was destroyed until the once form
idable fleet has been reduced to lot
of hulks. Official documents made
public in st. Petersburg indicated that
the Port Arthur squadron consisted of
five battleships, two cruisers and fif-
teen minor craft, gunboats, destroyers
and the like. According to special dis
patches from Toxic and Shanghai, Civ
ing unofficial reports, the crews of all
the Russian war vessels at Port Arthur
were landed and apparently no effort
was made to move the ships. The Jap
anese next turned their attention to
the torpedo boat destroyers and when
these had been destroyed the guns

DIPLOMATS IN pupoEoN.
Will Not Ruin Their Feathers and Gold
Lace at Inauguration.

The man who is to sit in the presi-
dental chair for the next four years will
be called upon to decide Il rather deli
cate question. This concerns the status
of the diplomatic corps on great national
occasions, such as the induction of a
President into office.
At the last Inauguration the most fer
vent advocate of American freedom and
contempt for insignia of rank would
have to confess that the foreign diplomat
had just cause for grievance. They
were provided haphazard with seats on
the grand stand. but no effort was made
tn get them through the crowd to obtain
the places according to the law of prece-
dence. This grand stand was an open
platform and. as the last Inauguration
day combined Kansas cyclone with n
Dakota blizzard, the foreigners had an
unhappy time. They wore their most
gorgeous uniforms and received great
damage to their apparel, not to speak of
the physical infirmities brought on by the
exposure.
The late Lord Pauncefote jocosely re-
marked that his appearance at the inau-
guration cost him nearly $500, part of
which went to replace ruined feathers
and trappings, and the remainder for
doctors bills.
The seats of the President and Vice
President and of the cabinet officers and
Supreme Court justices were sheltered
and this caused much dissatisfaction to
the diplomats. Indeed, II is freely stated
that if they cannot be assured of courte-
Gus treatment hereafter they will form
no part of the pageant which will be a
part of the Inauguration.

with the statement
that time will show this to be the most
stupendous and far--eaching case of its
kind in many years. Already the coun-
try has been startled by the disclosures
which have followed one after another
in quick succession since Mrs. Chadwick $
affairs were brought before the public

for ali he knows. The validity of some
of the claims, however. said the at
tornay, was another matter. In the same
period at least two banks have taken
official cognizance of the case and the
federal officers have taken it upon them
selves to investigate the validity of notes
aggregating more than 81 100000 which
bear the name of Andrew Carnegie. Mr..
Carnegie, the iron master. has stated
that he never signed any notes, that he
never has had any dealings with Mrs.
Chadwick, to whom the notes in question
were made payable.
Probably not III the history of the
United States has there been anything
similar in unusual circumstances and
magnitude 10 the Chadwick borrowings.
II is known 10y the statement Of Presi-
dent Beckwith of the inso!vent Citizens

notes for at least 81 ,250,000 indorsed by
Mrs. Chadwick, are outstanding; the Sc
curities said to be held by Iri Reynolds

100000; Herbert u. Newton of Boston
has claims for $l90,S00 and it has been
asserted by those conversant with the
strange case that number of banks not
yet mentioned in public have made large
loans to Mrs. Chadwick.
