Investigation of Methods of
 the Female FinanCier
IN BANKRUPTCY COURT
A Statement That the Debts Amount to $2,OOO, 900 Denied by Mrs. Chad wick Who Is not yet Armed With Definite Facts and Figures.

Cleveland, March 24.-In the bank ruptcy court today Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick detailed some of her Gnan- cial transactions, during an examina- ton by Attorney Louis J. Grossman. acting for Trustee Nathan Lceser.
 Mrs. Chadwick said that she was not able to give as many details of the transactions as she would like because of the absence of papers which are scattered in a number of cities. She had sent for the papers and expected to have them when the hearing is con tinued next Thursday. She testified that her total indebtedness would not exceed s750, 900. Of this sum, borrow ed from various persons. she had re- ceived only $517.OOO. leaving $2GS.000 for commissions to the monev lender. She said she owed certain banks in Cleveland $2O0.00O. The names of three of these institutions she was willing 10 give Trustee Loeser privately.
 Mrs. Chadwick walked from the county jail to the bankruptcy court this afternoon, a distance of about one block. She looked well and appeared cheerful. She expressed her willing ness to tell all that she could of her
 
 tions that were put to her were not answered because she did not care to give a reply from memory The ex- animation disclosed additional assets of $2OO, ,000s Of this amount s5S.OOO is due from Charles H. Stewart of Cleve- land and S15000O is jewelry held by Wolfers Brothers of Brussels, Belgium. Mrs Chadwick asserted that there were other assets, consisting of jewelry and valuable articles held by other persons for her.
 The examination was conducted in the presence of Mrs. Chadwick's four attorneys, who at times interposed an objection to the questions of MT. Grossman and with whom Mrs. Chad wick frequently consulted before she replied to some of the attorneys cues tions.
 Mir. Grossman opened by saying that he believed that Mrs. Chadwick owed S2,OOO,0O and had $1O0000 in dfscOv- cred assets. He asked Mrs. Chadwick to assist the trustee for the creditors in finding all her property. This Mrs. Chadwick said she was willing {" do, but said the papers she had sent for would net be in her possession until next week She said the papers were scattered around in Cleveland, Pitts burg, New York and other cites. She said the papers would show where hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property was and would make known what sums of money she had borrowed.
 She denied that her indebtedness would amount to S2.O0O,OO0 or any sum near it. She said the $75O,0OO which she made public would include the

THE BEST SIGN YET.
The Attitude of the WatchfuI French
 Financiers.

Paris, March 24-Prospects of peace between Russia and Japan assumed a more definite and an almost tangible aspect today as the result of the an- nouncement of the resumption of nego-
 tiations for a Russian loan.
 The postponement of the loan occur
 red through the stand taken by the
 financial element against proceeding while the uncertainties of war contin- ted, while a willingness to resume ne-
 gotiations was construed as meaning that thelr strong influence for peace finally had prevailed with the authori-
 ties at St. Petersburg. The an
 nouncement of the resumption of ne-
 gOtiations took a definite form in a communication to the syndicate Of
 agents de change who form an influ-
 ential element on the Bourse, holding government credentials.
 The effect Of the first announcement was to stimulate the market and par
 ticUlarly Russian securities. A reac- tion occurred on fears as to the reflect | that the heavy demands of the loan would have on the market and doubts concerning the uses to which the loan will be put However, it seems to be the accepted view of the financiers that the proceeds of the loan will not be applied to the further continuance of the war.
 It is understood that one of the in ducements of the resumption of the negotiations was that a considerable portion of the proceeds shall remain in France to meet the interest cou- pons of other loans and that the plac- ! ing of contracts for government sup plies will be required even after the cf bnstiliti0S

Washington, March 24.-SenOr Don bassador to the United States, died late this afternoon at the Mexican embassy. surrounded by the members Of his family, aged 69 years. Although a sick man since last fall. the ambassadors death was due to a relapse caused by exposure on inauguration day. Against the advice Of his physicians. Senor Asairoz left lis sick room and attend cd the inaugural ceremonies at the capitol where he came near fainting. For years. the ambassador has suffer cd from gastritis and this weakened his heart. His death this afternoon was unaccor1pamed by suffering.
 Senor de AsDiroz left his law of fee to enter the Mexican army and rendered gallant service in the upris- ing Of his country against the French intervention, risir- in rank from sec ond lieutenant to colonel After the fall of Queretero he was appointed prose cuting attorney in the court martial of Maximi iisn, MiramOn and Mejia-

 The imperial house of Austria has all ways taken the position that SenOr de AsI'irn2. through his connection with the court martial of MaXimillian was in part responsible for Maximillian execution, and during the early days of the service of Senor AsDiroz at Washington, this fact proved of keen embarrassment to himself and tise Austrian representative.

Gunshu Pass, March 24.-(Noon.)- The Russian retreat has now reached the village of Sipinghaf, seventy-four miles north of Tie Pass, where it has temporarily halted.

A DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION.

Washington, March 24.-While keenly interested in the interpretation placed by Paris on the significance of the resumption of the negotiations for the Russian loan European diplomats in Washington tonight confessed that they were inclined to regard at first this step al a confirmation of the of ficiaI news which has reached the Unit ed States within the last twenty -four hours that the emperor was resolutely determined to continue the war for the present.
 Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa- dor, expressed the belief tonight that no inference that peace was in sight could be drawn from the reopening of the negotiations. He learned several days ago that the loan would be sue cessfully hoated, and while he is aware of a desire among some French finan- ciers that the war come to an early ending, he scouts the idea that such a condition has been attached to the loan.

WAITING FOR THE LAPS.

St Petersburg, March 25.-(3:40 a. m.)-The Russian rear guard is now occupying line of fairly strong nat ural positions thirty-four miles south of Gunshu Pass, the center being the railroad village of Sipinghai and the Hanks covering the roads on either side which apparently it is the intention to defend long enough to force the Japa- nese to show their hand.
 The Russians may, however, have been outflanked, and have no intention of making a serious stand, and espe- cially, the correspondents continue to report rumors of wide turning opera tions on both Hanks. indicating a probable basis in fact. The correspond ents believe a resumption of hostilities on Q grand scale is improbable inside of three months.
