Wade Park bank are revealed to the
outside it will be found that the sig
nature of Andrew Carnegie has ap
parently been forged on notes and
other papers to the total amount OF
$13,750,0 goo. The securities held by
Reynolds, together with those that
were held by the Citizens National
bank Of Oberlin and have already
been made public, aggregate this
amount.
The mysterious "securities' held in
trust by Reynolds, concerning Whlcl
there has been so much futile specula

as follows:
Our bOmbardment today resulted in

threatens to keel over at high tide.
The upper decks of the Retvizan and

"The Pallada is listing considerably

ing that it will ever again engage the
Japanese. The battleship Sevastopol
continues at anchor outside, but pos
sibly returns to the harbor at night
and anchors inside the outer boom,
which protects her from torpedo boats.

STORY OF REYNOLDS.
Cleveland Banker Tells Of His Deal
ings With Mrs. Chadwick.

Cleveland Banker Tells of His Deal
ings With Mrs. Chadwick.
Cleveland, O., Dec. 12.-Secretry 1ri
Reynolds of the Wade Park bank, de-
clared Sunday night that his implicit
belief in the statements made to him
by Mrs. Chadwick, in which she de-
clared herself to be the daughter of
Andrew Carnegie, was the impelling
cause of his financial dealing with her
':She told me-" said Mr. Reynolds,
that she was the illegitimate daugh-
ter Of Andrew Carnegie and l believed
her. l never doubted her story until
on the occasion of my last visit to
New York, Mr.. Squire came to me and
declared that all the securities she
had given me, also the notes of An
drew Carnegie were worthless. 1t was
only then that l doubted her. Before
that had refused to say anything
against her or her affairs, because
deemed it my duty to protect her in
the story of her birth, as she had given
it to me. never once doubted her
until it was shown that the securities
she gave me we're worthless After
that, of course, I could not believe her
any more When she told me the
story of being the daughter of An
drew Carnegie, her husband, DR.. Chad
wick, was present and he believed the
story as did. The stories of her CIV
ing large sums of money to her hus-
band are false. He is now in Europe
and is penniless."
Mr.. Reynolds said that about year
ago Mrs. Chadwick, in gratitude for
his services to her, offered him a
present of 100000 in four notes of
$4,000 each, which he declined, as he
felt that he must resign his position
in the bank if he accepted the present.

Russians Have No News Of Reported
Jan Advance.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 13.-The gen
eral staff has no information con.
f1rmatory Of the foreign report of a
Japanese advance below Mukden. Ac-
cording to the official reports no fight
ing on a large scale is in progress or
imminent. On the contrary the situa-
ton is practically unchanged.
The authorities have no late news
from Port Arthur and are compelled
to depend on information furnished
by the Japanese. There is an inclina-
ton to accept those reports with a
good deal of allowance.

THE MISSOURI.

The disaster TO the United States
battleship Missouri the other day might
have been worse, but for the presence
OF mind Of one OF the gunners, named
Monson He was standing near the
open door Of the magazine, when the
first explosion occurred. obeying
quick impulse, he jumped into the
magazine and closed the door after
him, so as to prevent any sparks OF fire
from entering that place, The officers
expected that another explosion would
occur. and steered for the shore. hop
ing to beach the ship before the final
catastrophe. But Monson's presence
Of mind had already saved the ship.
This Is the second time that the
presence OF mind OF American seamen
has saved the Missouri from destruc-
ton. The North Atlantic squadron
was maneuvering off Guantanamo. The
vessels were moving In two columns,
the Missouri and the Illinois leading,
about 500 yards apart, The Mssourl's
steering gear became dlsarranged and
the ship lurched for the Illinois, Captain
Bradford, commanding this vessel, at
once swung his own ship In the same
direction and got out of the Missouri
way The danger however. was no,
yet passed, The steering apparatus was
fixed and the ships resumed their
places In the lines, Again the rudder
became unmanageable, and once mole
the Missouri threatened TO ram the H.
linols. Captain Bradford then ordered
his engines reversed, that the ship
might cross the bows Of his vessel, but
Captain Cowles almost at the same time
reversed the Missouris engines, and
the two vessels moved slowly together.
Now the captain Of the Illinois gave
evidence Of his seamanshlp. Waiting,
as the ships came together, until the
bow Of the Missouri had passed the
turning center OF the Illinois he put his
helm hard a.starboard, and turned his
stern away from the other vessel. lie
could not clear the Missourl's bow; but
he compelled glancIng blow In a non
vital spot rather than q direct blow
amidships. The latter would have sent
the Illinois TO the bottom, and very
probably have damaged the Missouri
beyond repair. In this way great
disaster was averted.
A German critic thinks that the &C.
cldents that have occurred recently In
the American navy are bad "symp-

says, OF what the Americans are tt
