The other newspapers show less ex-
citement, because it has not yet been
satisfactorily proved whether the vessel
that stopped the Comedian was really
the auxiliary cruiser Smolensk.
The outcome Of the situation at Shang-
hal is watched with the greatest anxiety
According to the Daily Teegraph's St.
Petersburg correspondent, the Russian
government supports the refusal OF the
Askold and Grozovoi either to disarm,
or to treat China as power capable of
enforcing neutrality. The Daily Chron-
icle's Che Foo correspondent says: The
Chinese squadron has left here doubtless
in order that 1t shall not be mixed up In
further incidents of Ryeshitelni' kind"
No further news regarding Port Ar

BIG CLOTHING FIRM FAILS.
Mexican Institution Has Liabilities and
Assets Of $65o,ooo.

Mexico City, August 23.-M. Frank
& Co., owners of the ready-made cloth
ing establishment, La Bella Jardin-
ois," many years established, have
failed, with assets of $1,000 and liza
bilities of s650,O00.
The cause attributed for the failure
is the lightness of the money market,
and the unwillingness of the larger
banks with which they had been doing
business to loan the concern more
money. The chief creditors are the
London banks and the Bank of San
Luis Polosi.
The concern had many branches N
interior cities.

WASH|NGT TON HAS
A BIC SENSATION
Petition in Bankruptcy Filed
Against 7. F. Waggaman
LARGE REAL ESTATE DEALER
Mr.. Waggaman Is Treasurer of the
Catholic University and Nearly
$1,ooo,ooo Is involved in
the Outcome.

Washington August pa sensation
was caused in financial and real estate
circles In this city today when it became
known that a petition in bankruptcy had
been filed by three of the leading national
banks of the city against Thomas e.
Waggaman, a prominent real estate and
insurance agent of this city, and the
treasurer of the Catholic university.
The petition at the same time seeks to
set aside deed of trust recorded yester-
day ON Mr.. Waggamans property for APP
proximately $4,000 in favor OF the Cath
olic university on the ground that 1t is
void, as being an attempt BY an lnsolvent
deptor to prefer one of his creditors.
The petitioning banks were the Second
National bank, the National Metropolitan
bank and the National Bank of Washing
ton, the total amount held by the three
exceeding $4,000, of which $4,000 Is que
the Metropolitan bank.
Involve Considerable Litigation.
1t is probable that the proceedings are
the beginning of considerable litigation.
Mr.. Waggaman had been In the real es-
tate business here since 1873, and was re-
ported generally to be a man Of large
means. He was In possession Of the finest
private art gallery in the city, and some
comment was caused several months ago
when brief announcement appeared In
the papers to the effect that his art works
had been turned over to the Catholic uni
versity.
At the time II was explained as a mat
ter of convenience, but 1t is said now that
security to the university for money bad
to do with the matter. Besides handling
the moneys of the university Mr.. Wag-
gaman controlled large amounts of money
in the aggregate belonging to other per-
sons both in this city and away from
here and 1t is stated that to some ex-
tent at least Mr.. Waggamans personal
notes were given as security TO those
whose money he controlled. For some
years he has been engaged In extensive
operations in the suburbs Of Washing
ton, and has much capital tied up threby.
Became Dissatisfied.
1t is understood that some of the au-
thorities of the Catholic university be-
came dissatisfied with the manner in
which the funds of the institution In Mr.
Waggaman's hands were invested and Sc
cured, and after negotiations between
them the new arrangement was affected
This new arrangement was embodied In
the settlement In which the deed of trust
was apart. The deed of trust was dated
July 25 last, and it is understood that the
delay in recording 1t was occasoned by
the terms of the adjustment with Mr..
Waggaman. A spirit of uneasiness re-
specting Mr.. Waggaman's financial condi-
tion is said to have prevailed in some
circles for few days. The friends of the
university say that they think 1t will lose
nothing If the deed of trust recorded
Yesterday can be sustained as against the
general creditors of Mr.. Waggaman.

St. Petersburg. August 24.-(s a. m)--
With all Russia hanging breathless on the
fate of Port Arthur, even such a nation
al event as the christening of the Czare-
witch is robbed of much of the prominence
which would otherwise be accorded 1t,
and St. Petersburg tonight Is dim and
silent with no sign of festivity
Although the fairy like grounds of Pc
terhof are gay with flags and though the
great palace is filled with distinguished
guests the scene resembles more of a
weighty internal conference than that Of
"a gathering of 'merrymakers.
The capital tonight is filled with sinis-
ter rumors of Port Arthur's desperate
strain. The supersttious are predicting
the fall of the fortress on the day of the
baptism of the Czarevich. but this is cas-
lily traceable to the fact that several big
Russian reverses nave occurred on Rus
sian fete days.

Secretary Wilson's Mistake.

Secretary WliSonS 3 WlStdNCs
Secretary Wilson of the agricultural
department in his speech at Manchester
Vt. yesterday is sticking close to the
text of the republican campaign BOOK
and seems to care as much about the
facts. The secretary says in explaining
the difference between the cost of Ameri-
can manufactured articles here and
abroad that he had received letters from
manufacturers all over the country stat
ing that their products were sold cheaper
here than they were abroad.
This IS lie of t,sa reckless statements
being frequently made by republican
voters these days. 1t so happens, however,
that the democratic committee has In Its
possession the current discount sheets
which manufacturers send TO their lor-
eign agents All show that nearly every
thing from a nail to steam engine OF
American manufacture can be purchased
abroad cheaper than In the United States
This phase of the tariff question Is so
practical that 1t appeals strongly to the
people throughout the country. Even In
Pennsylvania where no elections are held,
the subject is a live one. The state
Grange, which speaks with authority for
a large body of intelligent farmers, has
officially 1nteffORdteu tHe cdHuludile9 III
congress in the thirty-two districts OF the
state, asking: "NVill you. II elected assist
In passing legislation which will enable
American citizens to buy American pro-
duct as cheaply as they are sold abroad?'
This farmers question is of especial
pertinency In the rural districts and as
might have been expected no reply has
been received from republican candidates.
In Hands of Subordinates.
There is not a single member of Presi-
dent Roosevelts cabinet in Washington
tonight The government is in the hands
of the subordinate chiefs The President
is in Oyster Bay, Secretary Hay is in
New Hampshire at his summer home,
Secretary Shaw is on his way west to
make political speeches, Secretary Taft
and Secretary Wilson are in the Vermont
campaign, Secretary Metcalfe is in the
California campaign, Postmaster General
Payne is in Chicago with the western re-
publican headquarters. while Secretary
Morton and Attorney General Moody are
cruising at government expense on one of
President Roosevelt's men of war.
Jerry Simpson once known as Sock
less" is trying for the democratic nomi-
nation for delegate from New Mexico.
He was last in the house as a populist
from Kansas, but abandoned that state
when ii swung back to republicanism. Mr..
Simpson was considered one of the ablest
debaters in the house and his democratic
colleagues will welcome him back II he
