powie Not Facing Crisis.

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Kumors that John
Alexander DOwie was facing a finan-
cial crisis and a new receivership ior
Zion City were branded as false by
Judge w. Barnes and other officials OF
the Dowie establishment, who insist
that Zion is in a better condition
financially than before the receiver
ship last winter. Judge Barnes said
For a year we have done business
practically on a cash basis. We posi-
lively have had no trouble with any
creditors or bankers. AS to the re-
ceivership debt, we paid in cash the
first three installments, and the last
one. due this last week, was met In a

Pittsburg. Pa. Dec. 1.-THE Chad
wick sensation has only fairly begun
in Pittsburf. according to financial au-
thorities. The 100000 note issued by
Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick one year ago
has been located here, but 1t is the
general belief that it will never be
brought to light if the Pittsburgers
can help it, as it would give their repu-
tations as fnanciers a heavy blow.
The note in question was given to a
bank in a neighboring city. 1t is due
January Z. 1905. Until it is due and the
borrower has defaulted payment the
subject of the paper is not a privi-
legged communication II the negotia-
tors and the directors Of the bank are
willing to pocket the loss by making
the amount good it will be utterly
squelched. This is what will be done.
unless the federal authorities subpoena
the bank officers and compel them to
testify against the woman If the note
remains unpaid.
In a telegram to the Pittsburg Dis
patch Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick denies
that she is in debt TO any Pittsburg
bank. The telegram says:
Kindly deny report that owe
money to any Pittsburg banks. | do
not owe them one dollar.

Would please Sweden.

Washington, Dec. l1.-Unusual In
terest is manifested in the news from
Sweden that the newspapers OF that
country are openly asserting that "a
union between. say, Alice Roosevelt
and Prince Gustaye Adolphe," would
please the country exceedingly. The
Upsala Mia Tidning started the sub
ject in an editorial, and papers all over
Sweden have rewritten the article and
added to tall done dellcately, but
without effacing the original intention.
Gustave Adolph is 22 years old. The
subject of his marriage is vital one
in Sweden. as he probably Will be
king. In discussing the matter the pa
per referred to speculation upon the
choice the young man may make, and
pointed out that a union with an
American girl. with American COM
mon sense and independence, would
doubtless be a good move for Sweden
and for Gustave AdOlphs Naturally,
none has asked Miss Roosevelt whether
she would like to be a queen. The

Mr.. Cassatt while at the capitol con-

President Roosevelt's message for gov

During the discussion Senator Ell

court of interstate commerce to have
jurisdiction over the matter OF equit-
able division of railroad rates between
states. The proposition did not meet
with the general approval of Mr.. Cas-
satt. but he is not unalterably opposed

suggested by the president.

pine civil government bill. The hnal
vote was preceded by the presentation
of many amendments and general
discussion Of them, as well as OF the
provisions Of the bill. The discussion
was confined quite generally TO the
merits Of the measure. On some OF the
amendments suggested by Democratic

voted in the affirmative. but Mr.. Me
Cumber was the only Republican who
voted with the Democrats against the
final passage OF the bill.
The most notable change made dur
ing the day was the lowering OF the
rate OF interest on railroad bonds to
be guaranteed by the Philippine gov
eminent. from 10 4 per cent.
The bin as passed exempts from tax

A democratic paper reminds those re-
publican congressman who are endeavor-
ing to reduce the south's representation
in congress because of the small number
of votes cast in many southern districts,
that they should be careful. Especially
is this true of the republican congressman
from the districts included in the corpor-
ate limits of, the city of Philadelphia.
Some curious southern congressman
might take notion to investigate the
causes of such large vote in the City OF
Brotherly Love. Philadelphia, with a
population scarcely more than one-third
that of New York City, has a voting list
of nearly 100, 600 more than the city on
Manhatten Island. This strange state of
affairs may be Investigated if strenuous
protectionists like Representative Morrell
of Pennsylvania insist on pushing the
Morrell bill to apportion representation in
congress according to the number OF votes
cast, rather than according to population.

al democratic party from the Eastern
conservative" reorganizers, who led the
party to one of the worst defeats in its
history in the last campaign. A confer

which ways and means were considered,
one of the features discussed being the
club idea, the plan being to prosecute the
work of forming clubs composed of men
who will sign constitution embodying
the ideas put forth by Mr.. Bryan in his
post-eiection statement. These clubs are
to be used as precinct organizations upon
which to build up county and State organ
