the great drama OF the future viii be

Pashitch heard him with interest TO the
end. Then he said:
"Only yesterday his majesty expressed
TO me his desire that we should attract
British capital into Servia, therefore all
that you tell me is most gratifying TO

had audience with his majesty-on the
occasion OF the loan-and l think they
found themselves perfectly in accord.

Charlie then produced certain docu-

engineers who had been sent out 10 Kao-

they discussed for a long time.
Presently Rolfe sid:

"Petrovitch!" exclaimed the old states

"He has been living in England quite
recently. but of late-well, Of late I've
lost sight OF him. I know" he went on.

been formed against him. AS you know

"Exactly-a fact which for the peace

Chicago, August "a: The mystery
of the theft of $173,000 from the
United States subtreasury year and
a half ago, one Of the largest losses
the government has ever suffered IN
this manner, is believed to have been
solved by the arrest at an early hour
today of George w. Fitzgerald. others
are believed to have been implicated
in the crime, which for months COM
pletely baffled government secret SER
vice men. Fitzgerald was an assort-
ing teller under Assistant United states
Treasurer William Boldenweck. Sus-
picion at the time, February 20, 1907,
rested on him, but so plausible was
his story and so intense his apparent
interest in discovering the real culprlt
that interest ceased to centre in him.
Much work was done on the theory
that the crime had been perpetrated
by a negro. Meanwhile Fitzgerald
was discharged from the government
employ for culpable negligence in al
lowing such a theft to be consummat-
ed under his very eyes. The money
stolen had been used and was in pack
ages some having been marked for
destruction at Washington. Any OF
the bills would readily have passed
anywhere except for their large de-
nominations. None of the bills were
under $500 and some were OF the
$1,000 and $4,000 denominations, the
81 900 ones predominating.

New York, August 21: Accord
ing to the figures Of the Financial
Chronicle, the worlds visible supply
of all kinds of cotton last evening 10,
tailed 1,7S5,933 bales, as compared
with 2,423,921 bales for the CORES
ponding day last year and l,SI4,932
bales for the corresponding day two
years ago. The visible supply or
American cotton last evening totall-
ed 1,OOO,933 bales, compared win
1.425.92l bales a year ago and 942,932
bales a wear ago. The into-sight for
the current week aggregated 72,O31
bales. as compared with 57,524 bales
for the corresponding week last year
For the season to date the into-sight
totals 11,4S9,15O bales, as against
13,451,122 bales for the correspond
ing period last season. Southern con-
sumption to date was estimated al
2,237,0O0 bales, as against 2,4Z''OOV
bales last year. Northern spinners
fakings were estimated at 1,914,767
bales, as against 2,661,OOO bales last
wear. Exports of cotton from the
limited States for the week aggregat-
ed 1888 bales, as against 1920 oales
for the corresponding week last year.
The amount of cotton on shlpboard
last evening. not yet cleared, was
placed at 35,34S bales, as against 26,-
654 bales at the corresponding cate
last year. Telegraphic reports to the
Chronicle from the south covering
the week were, on the whole, Of
tenor. Rain fell in most
localities but in the main the precip-
itaticn was moderate or light, and In
some portions of Texas and a Few
sections elsewhere rain would now be
beneficial; as a rule, however, the
crop was said to be doing we'll. Pick
ing made much headway in carrier
sections and new cotton moved free-
". Bradstreet noted that there
were complaints Of dry weather IN
parts of Alabama and that the cot
ton growing area in Oklahoma was
extending to the north and large
yields were looked for in Texas. Ar
kansas and Oklahoma. Sales of print
cloths at Fall River were the largest
for many weeks. The total was estl-
mated at from 100000 to 100000
pieces. The total curtailment figured
about $4,000 pieces, cutting the net
production for print cloth mills to
about $4,000 pieces. Deliveries on
contract for the current month and
on spot sales were sufficiently large
to cover the production and make |
small reduction in the stock.
