thar time will show this to be the most
stupendous and far-reaching 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
Since that time Mrs. Chadwick's
known Indebtedness has grown from less
than 100000 to more than S1,O0O,000
and her counsel has said that claims
against her may amount to $20,000,0O0,
for all he knows. The validity of some
of the claims, however, said the at
torney, 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 $10Q0,000 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 in the history of the
United States has there been anything
similar in unusual circumstances and
magnitude to the Chadwick borrowings.
1t is known by the statement of Presi-
dent Beckwith of the insolvent Citizens
National Bank of Oberlin, Ohio, that
notes for at least 81, 100000 Endorsed by
Mrs. Chadwick, are outstanding; the Sc
curities said to be held by Fri Reynolds
OF Cleveland figure to the extent of So,
100000; Herbert d. Newton of Boston
has claims for $190,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.

England In the shape Of old ledgers
old legal documents. For business rea-
sons he does not care to reveal the
name of the book store, but says he
cannot imagine how such important
records should have come into the pos
session of the store.
The books are hand-ruled with ink
and one is headed General Entry
Book of American Prisoners of War,
at Barbados, Lieutenant John Barker,
r. N, and another is similarly headed
with the word Jamaica substituted for
Barbados. Then follows careful
tabulation of the name of the ship
making the capture, the time of the
capture, the place of capture, the name
of the ship taken, the character of the
boat taken and a list of the prisoners,
the quality of each prisoner and, final
ly. when discharged, if discharged at
all.
The names of such well-known boats
as Defiance, Decatur, President, Vixen,
Loyalist. Enterprise and Yankee are
among the prizes taken, and of these
the Decatur and the Loyalist have the
longest lists of prisoners. Something
of the fate of these prisoners is learned
from a few remarks in the records.
Most of them are discharged or ex-
changed, but occasionally there is
note that such a prisoner died from
fever, another was shot by the guard,
and still another was shot while trying
to make his escape by cutting a hole
through the boat. Some are dubbed
riGtous characters, others notorious and
still others desperate. Often there is a
record of the discharge of a prisoner
because Of his being of other national
ity than American. as Spanish, French
or Russian.
The documents contain no accounts
of battles, but are merely dry records
of the prisoners taken and their final
disposition. Such good names as Mad
ison, Buchanan, Andrews, Stone. Har-
rison, Williams, Lee, Morris and Rams
dell are found in the list of prisoners.
Whether these records have been
earelessly sold by the British govern
ment for waste paper or have fallen
into the hands of the booksellers by
some other means Mr.. HARDWOOD has no
way of knowing, but he has no doubt
that they are the original records of
the British naval department.

BIG BREAK IN STOCKS.
Prices of Securities Drop from Two TO
Ten Points.


Ten Points.
Wall street Thursday passed through
the worst panic it had seen since the
terrible crash of May 8, 1901-the day
of the elimination of the Northern Pa
cific corner" Prices dropped from to
10 or II points Stocks Of all descrip-
tions were sacrificed, the good with the
bad, and the losses in both classes We're
on about an equal average. Rumors Of
distress in the Wall street district among
prominent houses were plentiful. But
III all cases they were strenuously denied,
and, until late in the afternoon no re-
ports of failures, or of difficulties in pass
ing accounts through the stock exchange
clearing house had been made.
Amalgamated Copper was the leader
in the decline which brought on the
panic. For three days it had been break
ing in a sensational manner. Colorado
Fuel and Iron, another property controll-
ed by the Rockefeller Standard Oil mill
ions, suffered break even greater than
that of Amagamated Copper Sugar,
the Stee!s, Union Pacific, st. Paul and
other standard rails were among the
heavy sufferers also.
The pauic began in New York when
the suspension of w. Il. Badeau of the
Consolidated Exchange was announced.
The suspension came after the weakness
had been strenHously contested by sup
porting orders. The fluctuations were
violent and frequent. Toward the end
of the first hour support seemed to be
abandoned and prices slumped through
out. Calling for additional margins by
alarmed brokers precipitated heavy liqui-
dation in all directions

The official tests Of the big. 9o-ton
electric locomotive took place on a

the presence of man, leading railroad
officials and hundreds of deeply inter

a train of four heavy coaches at the
rate of - miles an hour. and only
the shortnesS of the track prevented it
from attaining an even higher velocity.
In the cab OF the locomotive when it
left its shed for the trial was w. h.

electrical engineers and railroad men
from all over the country were pres

of the officials who witnessed the tests
