loaned money to Mr.. Keiran personally on col
lateral which the receiver SAYS they must have
known to be the property Of the Fidelity Fund
ing Company. The aggregate amount of the
money sought to be recovered by the actions IS
about 100000.
The authorized capital stock Of the funding
company is $5.O0O,OOO. but only s215.000 was
actually subscribed for. the receiver says. and
only part of that has been paid in Many of the
subscriptions were from priests and runs. most

company for $4,000, against which he has col

subscriber for $4,000 of the c0mpany's stock.
but is said TO take the position that his sub
scrption was conditional upon total subscrip-
ton Of s2O0OOOO. Various conditions we're made
with various subscribers the receiver says.
In September q meeting Of stockholders and
creditors was held and it was decided to try to
reorganize the company. Duncan H Sill was
accordingly elected president and keiran
stepped down to the vice-presidency- He still,
however. appeared to be the executive head of
the company. 1t soon became apparent that the
reorganization would not lead to satisfactory
results and the receivership was begun at the
solicitation or creditors. Ambrose HeITE was at
one time president of the company.
MIR. COLBY DEFENDS CLIENT.
There is mystery whatever to the
Wherea bouts of Mr.. Keiran.' said Mr.. Colby last
night. Since the sudden application for tie
appointment Of a temporary receiver of the
company, weeks ago, Mr. Kieran has been
occupied in making personal visits TO various
Catholic institutions in order to explain the con-
ditfon Of the company and the circumstances
surrounding the sudden and unexpected appli-
cation.
Notwithstanding the controversy which arose
with the appointment of a receiver, between the
larger creditors. and the present officers of the
corporation Mr.. Keirans efforts to rehabilitate
the company and save all parties from loss. have
been constant and untiring. In the course OF
these efforts he has been to Chicago, Milwaukee.
Nauvoo Ill. Pittsburg. St. Louis and Washing
ton. where for the last few days he has been
stopping at the New Willard Hotel
The man who thus far has done most to
protect the company and preserve its assets
from disintegration seems to be Mr.. Keirau him
self The suggestion that he is not accessible
sounds strange coming from the corporations
creditors when it is borne in mind that only a
few weeks ago Mr. Keiran occupied such place
in their confidence as to command a line Of
credit with such an institution the Carnegie
Trust Company to the extent of over s500OO0.

had an ONCE in Hartford in Senator Bulkeleys
building, and Bulkeleys counsel. and the state
did not want Mr.. BuIkeley have two votes. and
that the joke OF it is that Mr.. Bulkeley has had
two votes practically all the time since Brandegee
got broken in and the thing has happened that
the election was supposed to prevent. Mr.. Bukeley
mas been in the Senate only as long Mr.. Bran
oegee and never was in the House at all but 1t
has been pointed that nobody is saying that
ne hasn't had time to make himself a force there.
These are points that brought out day by day
In the statewide discussion. Mr.. Brandegee per
sonaily is a much smoother piece OF goods than
MI Hili-or Mr.. Bulkeley either. He is sociable,
suaNe, easy-gong and good looking Of the
world, the best sort OF company in a social gath
erlng. Hill is always fun OF the business he has
In hand earnest, enthusiastic sometimes even
tedious to those who Indifferent to what he is
interested In but he Is interested he cares He is
indefatgably industrious and his heart is in his
work.
1t was thought at one time that Nj Brooker,
Connecticuts member OF the national committee
and in many respects her foremost Republican

senatorial race. friend OF Mr. Hill is authority
for the statement that Hill desired this and said he
cared more about having administration Sena-
tor than about getting the place himself Brooker,
it is understood. is himself actively at work in
Hills behalf. The Legislature will come together on
January 8. and the Republican caucus will be held
after the statutes require the ballotng for
Senator TO take place the second Tuesday after
converting. which 18th would be mis-
take. of course, 10 infer that thoroughgoing a
man Mr. Hill has nothing behind him but
strong popular desire for his election. His canvass
is in the hands of J. Henry Roraback, of Canaan,
his personal friend, and one OF the most popular
and influential politicians in the state. member
OF the State Central Committee, and OF those
who have been grouped together the machine"
along with practically all who working for

will carry division among the practical politicians

oping; but II already that Hill will fail

which he and his concern were involved was that

General Simon has not as yet appointed his

day for ST. Marc and Gonaives. whence reports
of threatened trouble have come. Word received

The local compatriots Of Castro pointed out that
under the Venezuelan constitu son he did

power having passed to Vice-President Gomez and
the Cabinet. Castro, therefore, is travelling as

RUSSIA AND BALKANS
GOUernment Defines Its Position
Regarding Near East.

st. Petersburg, Dec. THE slow progress of
the negotiations with Austria will probably
delay the statement of NJ. Iswolsky. the Foreign
Minister before the Douma, which sched
uled for next Wednesday. He hopes to be able
to make a statement within ten days. To meet
the complaints of the newspapers and the public
against the ministrys long silence. authorized
statement regarding the Russian position, cor
recting number OF rumors in circulation, has
been issued. the main points Of which as
follows:
The Russian government has neither directly
nor indirectly encouraged q separate Austro-
Turkish agreement relative to the annexation of
Bosnia and Herzegovina. NJ. Iswolsky has
never, in the name Of Russia, consented to the
final annexation OF these provinces. This ques-
tfon can be settled only by consent of all the
powers.
If the powers at the conference find it neces-
sary to ratify the annexation Of these provinces
Russia Will insist compensation for the in
terested Balkan states. Russia is in full sym
pathy with the negotiations looking to an alll-
ance among the Balkan states which also is to
the interests OF the Slav states in Turkey.
Regarding the possibility of hostilities 1t is
admitted that certain interests in Austria Hun
gary are in favor Of forcing a conflict with Ser
via and Montenegro, but up to the present these
efforts have not been successful. The Austrian
CdDlneC mas given most categorical assurances
that the Austrian military measures which re-
Gently have been undertaken are devoid of ag-
gressive intent, while, on the other hand Servia
and Montenegro have been solemnIy and re-
peatedly warned of the danger OF provocative
steps. Russia on no account will allow herself
to be drawn into The only egress from
the uncomfortable position in which Austria has
been placed by the unexpected opposition of the
powers to annexation and the costly boycott in
stituted against her by Turkey. is by calling an
international conference to consider the many
questions involved. Austria's answers up to the
present have been negative. but the way is still
open for a graceful retreat
Little is printed here on the subject of the
Russo Italian agreement but it is learned that
1t is based on a declaration of mutual disinter-
estedness in the Balkans. and a guarantee that
the integrity of Turkey will be preserved.
