MAY AMOUNT TO MILLIONS.
Failure of Chicago Brokers Assumes
Gigantic Proportions.

CHICAGO-The failure of the grain
and stock brokerage firm Of knight,
DonnelIy & Co., which occurred V
eral days ago, has assumed gigantic
proportions.
Although Receiver Potter has not
yet finished examination of the books
of the concern, enough was learned
today to approximate the liabilities.
They will aggregate not far from three
million dollars. The assets may sum
I'D two and a half million dollars, al
though these may dwindle consider
ably owing to the character of many
of the loans made by the firm.
The assets are made up largely OF
stocks, many of them not listed. Some
are securities in promoting schemes
such as gas companies in small towns
which the firm undertook to float. Con-
siderable of the liabilities are notes
on hand, for money borrowed from
friends and business associates. These
notes on hand may aggregate one-half
million dollars. =
The magnitude of the failure was
discovered at a meeting of the banks
creditors today. Upon comparison or
the bank accounts the total was found
to far exceed all previous estimates.
The failure was precipitated by specu-
lative operations.

THE REPLY OF GERMANY
To THE FRENCH NOTE

PARIS-Germany's reply to the
French note on the subject of Moroc-
co was presented during a conference
between Prince Radolin, the German
ambassador, and Premier Rouvier at
the foreign Office. While most friendly
in form, Germany's response none the
less maintains the position that the
Moroccan question must be regulated
by a conference of the powers without
any agreement in advance limiting
the scope of such conference. This
was accompanied by the presentation
of Germany's general point of view in
such an amicable spirit as to disarm
the suspicion entertained concerning
Germany's Interior motives.

ODESSA-Without firing a gun or
making the slightest show of resist
ance, the mutineers on the Kniaz
Potemkine hauled down the red flag
and surrendered the ~battleship to Vice
Admiral Kruger's squadron, which ar
rived here at loon today.
1t was an anxious moment for Odes-
sa as the squadron of five battleships
and eve torpedo boats, with their
crews at quarters and their decks for
action, steamed within range of the
Kniaz Potemkina, the flagship flying
signals which read: yield or be
sunk"
The display of force was too over
whelming for the mutineers and all
thought of resistance was abandoned.
Admiral Kruger ordered the Ekaterina
II to place a crew on board the Kniaz
Potemkine and the other vessels of
the squadron Immediately sailed
away.

jail, where the keys were demanded
of the jailer. The demand was made
at the point of rifles and the jailer
realized that resistance was useless.
With the keys the mob opened all the
cells, ordered the trembling inmates
out and lined them up in single file,
tying them with ropes. The prisoners,
eight in number, were marched to a
corner lot within 200 yards of the Jail
and in the heart of the town, where
they were bound to a fence with their
hands tied behind them. The work
had been so quietly done that the
sleeping residents of the town had
not been arounsed.
At a command by the leader the
mob stepped back a few PAGES, took
deliberate aim and fired a volley from
rifles, shotguns and pistols into the
line of prisoners. Every nan in front
Of the mob fell at the first volley.
Believing its work had been made

The APACHE WARRIORS
WANT BACK To ARIZONA

LAYTON, Okla Geronimo, the
Apache warrior, recently circulated
a petition among the members of his
tribe, asking the government for their
transfer to Arizona. Only six Indians
of age out of about 40 refused to
sign. The petition was presented to
the war department and is receiving
consideration. Owing to the fact that
the department has under c~onsidera-
ton a plan to increase Fort Sill to
regimental proportions and that the
Apaches' term of Imprisonment of
twenty years expires in a few months,
it is probable that the Indians may be
removed.
