 uabIe of the ArticIcs-some rrinkets of Little VaIue--Mrs. Chadwick says

 Cleveland, Jan 4.--Louis Grossman. attorney for Receiver Nathan Loeser, to-day made a cursory examination of the contents of the satchel belonging to Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick, which has been the subject of q at deal of spec ulation. The trunk belonging to Mrs. Chadwick will be opened tomorrow According to Mir Grossman, the satchel contained large number of documents and papers of various kinds. Mr Cross man was not willing to state the nature of the documents and papers, except to say that they were not securities. He will make further investigation be- fore he reports officially upon them. Some jewelry was also found in the satchel. A pair of what looked like large pearl earrings was the most val uable article, seemingly, in Mir. Cross mans judgment A large number of trinkets were also in the valise, but they were not of great value, so far as MT. Grossman could judge. He will submit the earrings and other articles of jewelry to expert inspection.
 Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick said to-day that 8 formal statement relative to her affairs and financial transactions is in possession of a private party" in New York city and that 1t is not to be given to the public until Mrs Chadwick gives her consent This action was de termined upon, she said, before she left New York
 Mrs. Chadwick denied the stories that have been printed, that she purchased an $S.000 automobile and given it away; and that she had bought 1,200 worth of handkerchiefs at one time.
 The instant effect of her statement now held by the party" in New York, Mrs. Chadwick said, would be to clear her Of all suspicion and alleged wrong doing and would show that she and her husband have been the victims of cir. cumstance and not of crime of their own commission.
 Mrs. Chadwick said that the state. ment had been prepared after confer ence with her attorneys in New York.

 Colonization Scheme.

Colonization Scheme.
 Washington, Jan. 4. Colonization of East Africa by American Jews, in the opinion of Secretary Hay will reflect no discredit whatsoever on the Ameri- canism or patriotism of the colonists. The attention of the secretary was called recently to a conversation with the well-nolwn writer, Israel Zangwill, to the movement in which the Interna- tional Society. of Zionists is interested looking to the formation of Jewish colony in East Africa. MT. Zangwill pointed out that some ofrthe wealthy Jews in this country have fears that their affiliation with it would be dis credit to the genuineness of their Am erican citizenship and patriotism. To MT. Zangwill, the secretary gave per- mission to make public his personal opinion that participation in the Zion ist movement would not in the faintest degree discredit the loyalty of Amer ican Jews. .

 .The equalization committees are pushing their respective works. < The weight of opinion in Japanese of 1 ficial circles seems to be against 9 be- Elief in the early conclusion of peace, and doubt is expressed that the fall of Port Arthur will materially affect < the situation.
 One of the several officials who dis cussed the question with the corre- l spondent of The Associated Press to- 4 day voiced the sentiment of the major I lity when he said:
 " 6 are confronting a situation which continues to be purely military. The present problem Is created by Gen. eral Kuropatkin's army and the Rus sian second Pacific squadron. We are devoting all attention to them. l We anticipate that the Russians will renew moro determinedly than ever the effort to drive Field Marshal Oyama back and that they will strive to gain supremacy at sea. We are preparing to defeat both these objects.
