Queen Victoria's letters. which have
recently been published, are an impor-
tant contribution TO the intimate his
tory of an age of English thought and
literature which bears her name Her
letters 10 Tennyson, published some
years ago, have long since dispelled
the idea that she was only symbol
and a name. The new volumes show
more abundantly that she was keen,
vigorous thinker about men and
events. II she had a genius for
craftsmanship, she had also a genius
for an art quite as rare, the art of let
ter writing.

STATE TREASURER
MUST ANSWER
CHARGES WILL BE SERVED ON
Mr.. GLAZiER, OR HIS
ATTORNEY.
THE STATES INTEREST
Though the Official ls Reported as.
Very III, the Proceedings for Remov-
al Were Begun This Week.

Charges against State Treasurer
Glazier will be served upon that Of
fetal, at his home in Chelsea, some
day this week. Personal service viii
be had If possible, otherwise the form
al charges will be served upon his at
torney, James S. German.
The matter was decided upon Sat
urday at a conference between Gov.
Warner and Atty.-Gen. Bird and Attor-
ney Seward Merriam, of Detroit, who
has been retained upon behalf of the
state 10 assist the Encouragement.
In addition to the GlaZier case the
state has a big inerest in the Chel-
sea Savings bank, and in the event
that the bank is not able to pay back
the 1854 900 OF state funds that were
deposited in it by Glazier, the surety
companies must then be required to
make good the amount of Glaciers
bond. He gave bond for $4,000 as
state treasurer and, in addition, the
state funds in the Chelsea bank are
protected by a 100000 surety bond.
Neither the governor nor attorney
general have any disposition to take
advantage of Mr.. Glaciers condition,
but sufficient time has now elapsed to
make ii imperative that steps be
taken TO protect the interests OF the
state. Mr. Glazier will be given some
ten days more in which to make an
swer to the charges, which will follow
the outline already given. If he then
be unable TO appear, q reasonable eX-
tension will be granted. after which
it will be insisted that Glazier make
his appearance through his attorney
Those in touch with the situation
en- 4I.nN
and some of his friends entertain
doubts of his recovery. However. it is
believed that he will be able to confer
with his attorney after the charges
have been served on him and make an
swer TO them. What answer Glazier
will make can only be conjectured.
though the intimation has been that
he will give an exclusive summary OF
his relations as state treasurer.
1t has also been limited that Glaz
Ter will tender his resignation after
having taken advantage of the oppor
tunity to make an explanation but, OF
course, no confirmation of this report
can be had until some statement Is
made by Attorney German, who re-
fuses to discuss the case in any way
until he has had an opportunity of go
ing over the charges and consulting
with his client, as far as the physical
condition of the state treasurer will
permit.
More than one-half the assets OF the
Stockbridge Commercial bank, accord

the circuit court are of doubtful value.
The visible resources of the bank are
placed at $272, 574.42, of which the re
ceiver considers s126,09S good and the
balance doubtful. Most of the doubt

Glazier valves all objections to the APP
pointment of a receiver, and the APP

doubtedly be made permanent.
