CHADWICK RECEIvERsHIP.
Receiver Announces Nothing to Be
Done for Few Days,

CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 27.-Con-
trary to expectations the inquiry in con-
nection with the Chadwick receivership
case was not resumed today. Receiver
Loeser stated that nothing more would be
done In the matter for several days.
I'VE have definitely located the trunk
and satchel that were taken from the Hol-
land House in New York." said Mr.. Loe-
ser today, "and they will be brought here
within day or two. Aside from wearing
apparel there is, l understand, little of
value in either the trunk or the satchel."
Continuing. Mr.. Loeser said: I'VE had in
tended today to examine Henry Wuerst,
the Elyria, Ohio, jeweler. who holds about
$40 600 worth of Mrs. Chadwick's jewels
as security for loan. Wuerst has made
a full statement of just what he holds
however, and expressed his willingness to
surrender them whenever the loan is made
good. The jewels will be appraised later
but my impression is that they are worth
no more. than the sum advanced by Wuerst
to Mrs. Chadwick"

Abandoned to Die

are investigating the mysterious death of
an unknown young woman who was found
dying in the snow in Riverside drive yes

NEW YORK'S SENATOR
PRESIDENT STEVENS ON CHAUN-
cEY DEPEw's CHANCES.
Thinks He Will Be Re- Elected and
Gives His Reasons for
His Opinion.

President Stevens of the Commercial Ma.
tional Bank of this city and member OF
the New York state senate, representing
the forty-sixth senatorial district at Al
bany, will leave for that city New Year
day, and the evening Of the fourth will at
tend dinner to be given in honor of Gov
ernor Higgins, at which gathering the re-
publican leaders of New York state will be
present.
Mr.. Stevens was seen today and spoken
to On the subject of the return Of Senator
Depew to the United States Senate. He
said that it had long been well known that
he was partisan of Senator Depew, and
that they were warm friends.
Believes Depew Has Strong Chance.
Il certainly believe that Senator Depew
has strong chance Of reelection" he
said. "The so-called Odell conference was
not a conference at all At that confer
ence the republicans of the state were re-
ported to have expressed themselves In
favor of the selection of Ex-Governor Black
for the place by a vote of twenty to
seven. At that conference the friends OF
Senator Depew were not invited, and Gov
ernor Oden himself, although he did not
openly declare his preference for the sena-
torship, said to the conferees that the re-
publicans of his county preferred Black
Governor Odell had previously said, how
ever, that he had no personal candidate for
the Senate and that he favored the election
of the man Of the peoples choice, 1 feel
perfectly sure that if a canvass of the
state OF New York were made today II
would result in the knowledge that Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew is the choice of the people
OF the state for the United States Senate
Gov. Odells Position.
And not only do 1 believe that, but l
believe that the selection of Senator De-
pew for another term in the Sei.ate would
not by any means disrupt the republican n
party in the empire state. Under the lead
ership of Gov. Odell an organization which
is the wonder of the age has been built up.
NO party ever had such an organization,
and it Is due entirely to the tact and skill
OF the great leader of the republican party
IN New York state. The phenomenal vic
tory at the last election is the result of
this splendid organization, and 1 believe
that such man is too strewd politician
to risk the danger of running that machine
by the forcing on the people as their rep
resentative in the highest office in. their
grit of man who was distasteful to the
majority of his followers
In making these statements make no
aspersiens on former Gov. Black. His
realty to the party issunqaes toned, and he
oalnpasn Is man ss Fsessn7ea Ssa ;s, ABILITY But the
was fought out along thar1lna.s and with
the idea that Senator Dhnew would he the
next senator to succeed Himself from New
YORK state. If We wish to carry out the
wishes of the people whose votes gave us
to me that we must send Chauncey Depew
back to the Senate.

MORE FRAUD ORDERS.
Business Schemes Put Under the Ban
of the P. o. Department.

Fraud orders have been issued by the
Post Office Department against the Carbon
Electric Company of Wauwatosa, Wis.,
and the Wyoming Silverware Company Of
Scranton. Pa.
The first named scheme is said to have
been conducted by Joe Myers of Milwaukee,
against whom fraud orders have been is
sued at Milwaukee and another place. My
ers is said to have done fraudulent business
by various names, but his book on how to
beat the slot machines, which he called
my Friend and Silent Partner was his
best-known effort and against it the Post
Office Department closed the mails.
The Wyoming Silverware Company is
identical In character with the schemes of
the Cliff Publishing Company of New York
and the Chicago Silver Company of Chicago.
Both of these concerns have been barred
from the mails. The scheme was to send
out circulars to the effect that the recip-
lent had won prizes in "a recent contest
emitting them to a magnificent four-piece
silver service" No charge was made for
this magnificent service save a small sum
for packing, shipping, etc. The service
consisted of very poor quality of metal
and was not worth what was charged for
packing and shipping it.

NO TIME FOR SILENCE.
Russian Paper outspoken Over Condi-

ST. PETERSBURG, December 27.-In an

the fact that the "old system Of concealing

Heavy Fog

NEW YORK, December 27.-The steam
ship Drumelzier, which went ashore on
Fire Island bar Sunday night, was Still
fast aground today, with her captain and
crew still on board. They had refused to
be taken ashore by the life savers yester-

high wind and sea so that the ship could
not have been reached even if the life
savers had attempted it.
a heavy fog hid the stranded vessel from
sight today and for several hours the surf
was too high to permit of the launching of
life boat. The life savers were beginning
to be fearful that the ship would break up
in the fog. They were planning to shoot
a line over the ship as soon as the fog
lifted if the crew had not already been
taken off by a wrecking tug.

THE CZAR'S MANIFESTO.
Program of Reforms Outlined Hoped to
Stop Foment.

ST PETERSBURG, December 27.-While
Emperor Nicholas manifesto on Russian
reforms, coupled with the government note
of warning on the same subject, leaves no
doubt that it is the firm intention OF the
emperor to maintain unimpaired the auto
cratic principle which no observer here
ever imagined he would relinquish, and
not yield to the zemstvoist demand for a
national Legislature. The program of re-
forms outlined is broad one and If it had
not been preceded by the agitation of the
last few months, would probably have
been accepted with universal acclaim IN
Russia as extremely liberal.
The raising of the peasants to an equality
with other citizens of the empire is alone
practically second only to the emancipa-
ton of the serfs, but hardly less important
are the guarantees which the manifesto d.
rects to be incorporated in the laws for
the protection of the personal liberties Of
the people against the abuses of admins
trative arbitrariness. The measures taken
under the state of siege are no longer per-
mittable except in cases of crimes against
the state.
Concessions in Line With Demands.
The increase in the independence and
scope of the Doumas and zemstvos, as well
as the creation of smaller zemstvos units,
the definite protection of the Jews, Arme-
revision of the press laws are all on the
line of the zemstvo demands.
The extremists, of course, are not SatlS-
fed and many of the moderate liberals
are disappointed The government note
threatening drastic measures in the event
of a continuation of the vain agitation,
which the government considered neces-
sary in order to put a stop to the existing
foment, is resented deeply by them, and
il is feared will inflame rather than allay
the present agitation.
Harsh measures, 1t is understood, Will,
however, be avoided. and the government
expects that the solid nature of the re-
forms offered will gradually draw to its
support all except the extreme radicals.
Witte the Man of the Hour.
Fully as important as the governments
response to the zemstvoists is the posi-
ton in which NJ. Witte is placed by con-
fiding the reforms to the committee of
ministers of which he is president. The
old finance minister becomes the man of
the hour confirming the reports that he
is again in high imperial favor.
Moreover this duty, the duties of which
heretofore have been purely perfunctory are
raised to the highest dignity and institute
for the first time a species of ministerial
responsibility which is apt to make the
committee of ministers real cabinet.
In addition to the ministers six grand
dukes are members of the committee. AS
the imeprial manifesto directs the commit
ing the reforms into effect, some papers, no
tably the Russ, find in these words that
the committee may call in zemstvo repre-
sentativeS.
