THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. NOVEMBER H GREATXOLLAPSE, Failure of the United States Roiling Stock Company for Almost $4,000,000. A RECEIVER APPOINTED, Who Will Continue the Business the Same as Formerly. ASSETS PLACED AT 0.053,000, And Officials Say That the Storm Will Soon Blow Over. THE MAGNITUDE OP THE EMXKPBISE If TECIAI. TEX-HORAM TO TDK DISPATCH. 1 Chicago, November 22. The United States Kollmg Stock Company, one of the largest concerns of Ibe kind in the world, is embarrassed. The assets, as scheduled by Cyrus I). Kovs, the Vice President, are 6,053,000, and liabilities $3,81G,000. The existing monetary stringency and the inabil ity of the concern to collect outstanding ac counts from various railroads are giTen as the immediate cause of the collapse. At a lale hour this afternoon Cyrus D. Soys, a stockholder and director of the stock company, appeared before Judge Blodgett in the Federal Court, and on liehalf of all the stockholders, made appli cation for the appointment of a receiver, so as to protect all the creditors. The application set forth the fact of the inability of the company to collect a Urge portion of its outstanding accounts, and al leged if the concern's affairs were placed in the Lands of a competent receiver, so that no creditor could gain any advantage over another, the present storm would soon be over, and the company would eventually regain its former credit. A RECEIVER TOE THE COMPANY. Judge Blodgett appointed as receiver A. Hegewisch, who has been President of the companv for the past 19 year", and placed his bonds at 5300,000. The Court also or dered that the business be continued as heretofore without interruption. W. P. Hand signed Mr. Hegewiseh's bond. The appointment of Mr. Hegewisch as receiver is made upon the unanimous request of all the interested parties. He is familiar with the details of the business and had the con fidence of the creditors. I The stock of the company is held princi pally in England. Mr. Hegewisch and -Mr. Boys are said to be the only stock holders iu this country. The managers deny that the company is insolvent, and say they intend to continue business as formerly. The companv has 2,200 men in its employ. Its works are located at Hegewisch, 111 ; Decatur, Ala.; Anuiston, Ala., and Urhana, O. These works will continue under the past management. The capital stock of the company is Si.000,000. Of this 5500,000 has never been sold or issued. The company maintains that its assets exceed the liabilities so much that there is no cause for alarm among the creditors. SCHEDULE Or THE LIABILITIES. The companv scheduled its liabilities as follows: Six percent debentures, unsecured, 5870,000; 5 per cent debentures, secured by Sl.000.000 car trust bonds as collateral, 670.000; 6 per cent bonds, secured by first mortgage upon its Hegewisch works, $2a,000; 5 per cent consolidated bonds, secured by first mortgage upon all shops and property of the company, except that at Hegewisch, and by second mortgage upon the latter, 51.000,000; bills piyable, maturing lrom time to time within 90 davs, lor supplies and current expenses, 5500,000; bank loans, 5266,000; miscellaneous ac counts, 560,000; total liabilities, 53,816,000.

The Sew York offices of the United States Boiling Stock Company are in the Mills building. The directors had a meeting to-day and de cided to ask for the appointment of a re ceiver for the property of the company in Kew York. The company has other offices in Ohio, Alabama and Illinois. Later in the day Vice President Cyrus D. Eoys made a statement. He said: In 'the depressed condition of the money market we Mere unable to get money to any great extern from the various railroads for which we nave been buildms cars, but have heen compelled to take seven, eight and nine months' paper iu some instances, and in no case lest than 60 or 90-day paper. Then we have X2M) men on the paj rolls who must be kept con stantly employed, and are kept constantly cm ployed, and the payrolls, together with material .and supplies, make an asirrecate monthly cash p meat by us of about iVOO.COO. There is a limit to this sort of thing when we recene paper and pay out cash. Notwithstand ing this, our condition was so good that the President believed we would come through all right, and until last Friday, in the 19 years in which we hate been in business, we have never xisked tor rcr.ewal of our paper, nor would we now ask renewals if even one-quarter of the amount due us was paid. It we had to-day all that is pr.st due to us in cash we would discount rer obligation we have in the world and have StbO.SOU good, hard dollars to bank to our credit, and Uu in io manner touches our properties, real or personaL We hive all this left It is cot a caso of insolvency in the popular sense of nisuhcncy. In the legal sense, of course, it is because a man mav have S20.OUO, C00 of the best possible assets, and if a note for IZQQ should become due which he did not have the readj inonej to meet. Ins assets would cut ni figure. In the legal sense he would be in solvent, and it is in th:s sense only that we are insolvent, and this step is taken to tide over to that period when the money market will be easy enough to enable those who are indebted to us to pay up, and when that is done every creditor of every kind and sort will be paid in lull, with interest, and wo shall still hae more than $400,000 iu bank to our credit. General George B. McClellan was the first President of the company. SEW FIRM OF BAHIKGS. Official Announcement Ua Been Made In Ixindon to That Effect. fET CABLE TO THE BISPATCU. LONDON, November 22. It is just a fort night ago that rumors of the Barings' troubles first startled London. The name which was in every man's mouth was suc cessfully kept out of the English newspapers ior more than a week. When at length it was printed, the so-called arrangement with the Bank of England had been made. The word "liquidation" was then indignantly repudiated, but to-day it 13 used in an official announcement to the public, which was given to understand that a new firm of Baring & Co., Limited, would be formally registered to-day.

The Barings are all right for three years, but there are some firms that are not all right. Hitherto the Barings have bolstered them up, but they can do so no longer, and when the pinch comes they first must go. It will be a long time before things are righted, lor the liquidation of the Barings' securities is in reality a millstone hung for three years around the necks of financiers. A MIKISTEE JAILED, The Rev. Peter Roberts Will Spend the Kelt Three Months In Prison. SPECIAL TELEGKAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Sceaxto.v, November 22. The' Bev. Pe"ter Itoberts, whose reputation has been extended through his being the defendant in a breach of promise suit brought against him by Miss Anna Husaboe, and against whom the jury rendered a ver dict of $3,000 damages, was surrendered by his bail "to-day, and will to morrow spend his first Sunday in the county jail. The reverend betrayer of Miss Husaboe's affections is a poor man, and it would have distressed him had he made ar rangements to meet the amount of the judg ment He can secure his liberty after three months under the insolvent laws. It is charged that the Bev. Mr. Itoberts has an other object than povertyin offering himself for imprisonment. Bad as was the evidence against him, his old congregation asserts its faith in his in nocence, and he will now command the sympathy of the friends who have so faith fully defended him. By many he will be heralded as a martyr. His surrender was attended with the greatest secrecy, and court officials aided him iu seeking to keep it from the newspapers. Roberts has been appointed editor of the Blade, a small weekly publication, and will continue to edit it in his prison cell. MILITIA MAY TUSK OUT. Possibility of the National Guard Attending Gov.-Klect Pattison's Inauguration. IEPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DI8FATCH.1 Habbisbujig, November 22. Governor Beaver stated to-day that he had requested Adjutant General Hastings to call on Governor-elect Pattison and inform him that the head of the retiring administration was anx ious to extend any courtesy to his successor that might suggest iUelf to the latter. In his interview with his Adjutant General, Governor Leave. mentioned the propriety of having the National Guard participate in the inauguration of the incoming Chief Magistrate of the State, especially in view of the great interest Mr. Pattison had mani fested in the success of the militia while he was Governor of the Commonwealth. The appearance of the militia at that time will depend on the action of Mr. Pattison. Governor Beaver says he was opposed to having a military display when he was inaugurated. There was reason, he said, in the argument that the weather was too cold in January to justify the calling out of the National Guard, but the troops were much better prepared to resist the rigors of winter now than they were when he was inducted into office, all having since then having been provided with warm overcoats.

How Corporal Tanner is Boiling Up Riches at Washington. THOUSANDS ARE COMING TO HIM tSFECIAL TELEQUAM TO THZ DIEP ATCH.I Washington-, November 22. Ex-Governor Sharp, of Kansas, is in the city, and he makes the following interesting state ment regarding the situation in the Kansas Legislature, which will soon decide the po litical fate of Senator John James Ingalls. It has generally been supposed that 83 votes would elect a Senator, but that is not so. There are 19 delegate members of tbe Legisla ture from counties that have been organized since the State was apportioned in 1SS5. It will take 93 to elect and of tbeso John J. Ingalls has somewhere in the neighborhood of 75. Thirty-eight votes in the Senate belong to him. and these, with the 13 new members and 24 old ones, make op the sum total of his strength. The Democrats on joint bal'ot have 11 votes, all told. The balance is Farmers' Alliance, composed of men who were formerly Republicans or Democrats, but who are neither just now. They form a solid and purely inde pendent party. INGALLS' CHANCES ABE SLIM. It does not matter much who the Democrats vote for. bnt the compliment will probably go to QHck or Blair. The Republicans, of course, will vote for Ingalls. but the Farmers' Alliance has not yet decided upon a candidate. Person ally! am a Democrat. I would like to see In galls elected, but my reasons are purely per sonal. I don't think he can possibly secure the Democratic vote. The seven Democrats will never vote for a Republican unless they aie so situated that thev have to decide be tween two Republicans. That situation ma; come up if Canfield gets the nomination, and they would vote for Canfield because be is a tree trader. Ingalls has chances, bat they are slim. TANNEK ROLLIHG IN WEALTH. Corporal Tanner has ciuse to bless the day when President Harrison called for his resignation as Commissioner ofPensibns. A group of gentlemen were discussing Tanner's remarkable career a few days ago, and all ot them seemed to have a different opinion as to his financial, political and business status since he made way for General Eaum. One of the group said he knew exactly Mr. Tanner's circumstances, because the Corporal had told him all about them himself, and according to his statement the ex-Commissioner is in the way of becoming a rich man in a few years. Immediately after leaving the Pension Office, Tanner opened a bureau for the nrosecution'of pension claims, and business flowed in upon him so fast from his old comrades that his office was soon flooded with cases. They have now been so ar ranged that the Corporal gives them no per sonal attention, but turns them all over to clerks, and his books show that his income this year will not fall short of $50,000. In addition to this, Tanner is under engage ment to deliver 100 lectures for about $100 each, with his expenses paid. OTHEK SOPKCES OP WEALTH. As if this were not enough, he recently signed a contract to become editor of the new soldier paper in Brooklyn at an annual salary of ?5,000. Tanner will do little real work upon the paper, as it is his name that is being paid for and not his services. All this comes to the man who, when he was lemoyed from office a little over a year ago, did not know which way to turn to make a living for himself and family. His successor. General Eaum, is now un dergoing the fire of investigation, and judg ing by the character of the charges against him and the source whence they arise, the chances are more than even that ere the flowers bloom in the spring General Eaum will follow the feotsteps of Tanner down the broad staircase.of the Pension Office build ing, and find himself again a private citizen. lAFAYETTE'S STATUE. The Qnestion of Its Location in Washington Settled Once More. rsrECIAL TXX.XORAU TO TUB DISPATCB.l "Washington, November 22. The mo mentous question as to the right of the statue of Lafayette to occupy a place in the same park with that of General Jaokson has again been settled. The commission, con sisting of the Secretary ot "War, the Libra rian of Congress and the Architect of the Capitol, spent several months selecting a site for the new statue that is now on its way to this country, a gift -to America from the French Republic It was at first arranged to have it placed in the "White House lot, between the great fountain andoot pavement, but somebody objected to this, and Lafayette was moved over into the park bearing his name, di rectly across the street Although tbe gen erally accepted name of this place is Lafay ette Park, it is officially called Jackson Square, because in the center there is a great bronze statue on a stone pedestal of the good old Democrat riding a fiery horse, which stands on his hind legs and paws the air with his front ones. NAVAL MATTERS OF IffTEBEST. Report to the Secretary of the Navy of the Chief of Navigation. "Washington, November 22. Commo dore Eamsey, Chief of the Bureau of Navi gation, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Navy, recommends that vacancies in the lower grades of the pay corps shall be filled by graduates of the Naval Academy. He recommends that the number of Eear Admirals be increased from six to ten. The period of instruction in the cruising training ships has been increased to one year with beneficial results. The average number enlisted annually falls below the number allowed by law, and the gain to the service has not been encouraging. THE NEXT HOUSE. Figures That Give the Democrats a Majority of 143 In That Body. "Washington, November 22. The un official list of the members of the House in the Fifty-second Congress, which has been compiled in the office of the Clerk of tbe House, is as nearly correct as any list will be until all the certificates are received. It shown that the next House will consist of 222 Democrats, 92 Republicans and 17 Alliance members. The Democratic ma jority over the Republicans is therefore 130, or 142 counting the 12 Alliance men as Democrats, OIL TAKES BLOWN VS. Danbury, Conn., Shaken Up at Midnight by a Terrific Explosion.

J, Morley May Lead the Next Washing ton Birthday Parade. The General Parade Committee having oharg.' of the next annual parade for the American Mechanics met last night in the Moorhead building. About the, only business of importance transacted was the nominations for Chief Marshal for the day. The nominees for this position of honor were T. J. Morley, L. L. Davis and Heber McDowell. There was some discussion over the question of permitting the Alle gheny division to have a candidate, but a motion confining the nominations to South side candidates this year prevailed. The fight will be largely between Davis and Morley, with the chances very much in favor of the latter, owing to his long service with the organization. A committee was appointed for the pur pose of preparing an invitation to be sent to every council in the United States re questing them to he present and participate in the parade. Communications were read showing that many of the councils in the country within 200 miles of the city are preparing to come for that day.

TWO WILD EUJIOES PB0TB UNFOUNDED fltrKCTAt. TILXOKJLK TO THB DISrATCS.! New Yoek, November 22. The western gable wall of the new stable in course of erection in Jersey City for the Wells-Fargo Express Company, collapsed to-day, bury ing a number of workmen in the rulus. One man was killed instantly, one received mor tal injuries, and a third is lying in the hos pital in a critical condition. Nine others were more or less injured. The following is the list of killed and injured: GEOKGE BARRETT, an ironworker, killed. MICHAEL K1LLARANI. Bkull crnsnedj can not recover. MICHAEL GARAM, aged 33, will probably die, NICOLO GGUDI, aged 32, severe scalp wound. NICOLO PATRAM, aged IS. cut in the head. AHRN1 GENTILI, aged 13, bruised about bodv and limbs. ANGELO BENDITTI, aged 40. contusions on back of head. THOMAS JicCLINTOCK. head cut and legs crushed. EMU, HAGER. slight bruises. VIl'O M ORO, aged SO, arras broken. CHARLES T1GHE, injured about the head. THE WOUNDED BEMOVED. The injured, with the exception of Mc Clintock and Tighe, who were taken home, were removed to St. Francis Hospital. When the wall fell the noise made by the crash was heard a long distauce. Police Sergeant Bucklee, who lives opposite the building, hastened to a neighboring drug store and telephoned to police headquarters. Chief Murphy at once telephoned to the hospitals aud ambulances were sent to tbe scene. The reserves from the First and Sec ond precincts were sent out. The wounded men were quickly taken out of the debris, although tbe work of rescuing them was particularly perilous, as other parts of the wall were tottering in the high wind and looked as if they might fall at any moment The body of Barrett.the man who was killed, nas found on the second floor, pinned under a heavy beam, which lay across his neck. Chief of Police Murphy, Chief Engineer Fanier, of the fire depart ment; Building Inspector James C. Clarke, Fire Commissioner Brown and other officials aided in directing the work of rescuing the wounded. THE CONTEACIOB FBANTIC. Michael Brenan, the contractor who was erecting the building, was almost frantic. He thought his brother was buried in the ruins, and he acted for a time as if he were insane. Afterward he learned that his brother was safe. When the crash came the men who were working in other portions of the building were terriblv frightened, and fell oyer each other in their haste to escape. Bumors of the wildest character were cir culated immediately alter the accident One was that 15 men had been killed. An other, which seemed to have some founda tion, was that several children who were playing near the wall had been killed. Both rumors proved to be unfounded.

NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES Soon to Meet at Wellington Forms Part of an International Scheme for the Benefit of Women, and, Through Them of Humanity. New York, November 22. The first triennial meeting of the National Council of the Women of the United States will be held at Albangh'sbpera Honse, Washing ton, from February 15 to 18 inclusive. This organization is the outcome of the great In ternational Council of Women held at Washington in 1888, at which papers were read by 100 women, representing seven dif ferent countries. At that time two permanent organizations were formed, the Inter national Council of Women, of which Mil ecente Garrett Fawcett, of England, was elected President, and the National Coun cil of Womeri of the United States. The latter organization receives iuto auxiliary ship all National organizations of women interested in the advancement of women's work in philanthropy, reform and social culture. This convention will probably be the largest representative body of women ever assembled. Eleven of the most important National organizations have already entered tbe council. The organ ganizjtion has no special the ories of reform, but its basic principle is unity for tbe general good of women, and, through them, of all humanity. Dr. Julia Holmes, of Chicago, has been invited to represent the Queen Isabella Association. The call which was issued by the Board of Managers to the women of the United States, bears the signatures of hundreds of the prominent women of the country, among whom are Harriet Hosnier, Clara Barton, Mrs. M. Louise Thomas, Mary F. Seymour, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mrs. Kate Tannett Woods, Susan B. Anthony, Mary T. Eastman. Jennie C. Crotty (Jennie June), Julia Holmes Smith, Mary H. JKront, Elizabeth Boynton Herbert, Lucindi H. Stone, Kate Field and Lillian Whiting. The general officers of the council are Frances E. Willaru, of Evanston, 111., President; Susan B. Anthony, ol Rochester, Vice President at Large; M. Louise Thomas, of New York City, Treasurer; Mary F. Eastman, of Tewksbury, Mass., Becording Secretary, and May Wright Sewall, of In dianapolis, Corresponding Secretary. IT'S SCOPE IS WIDENED. Numerous Changes Made in the Constitution of the Non-Partlsan W. C. T. U. The Executive Committee of the Non partisan W. C. T. U. concluded their work here yesterday afternoon and adjourned finally. The entire afternoon was spent in a revision of the constitution and by-laws, and a number of changes were made throughont it The most important, perhaps, was that in which the object of the organization was made more liberal in its platform. Hereto fore the "sole object" of tbe Union has been temperance relorm, but at the meet ing yesterday the word "sole" was stricken out and temperance reform can and will herealter be only one. of the objects of the work. Sabbath ob servance, tbe social evil and kindred ques tions can hereafter be discussed with pro priety, and even that of politics, the ques tion that split the W. C. T. U., might be again held in the conventions of the organi zation. The constitution was also modified to allow future discussion on tbe question of God in the National Constitntion. Another change called lor the Presidents of State unions to act as advisories of the Executive Committee. All these questions had more or less bearing on the convention just closed. Tbe constitution is subject to amendment, or may be eliminated in part at tbe next convention. The bills and every expense of the late convention, iu all about $600, for entertain ment of every kind, was liquidated by the fund raised by the county organization. A DATS CASUALTIES.

Money Premiums Will Probably be awarded for Lire Stock. WHAT SHALL THB LADIJIANAGEES-DO? Chicago, November 22. The World's Fair Commission took a most important step to-day looking toward harmony and the prevention of the promised deadlock betweea the commission and the local directory. Upon the motion of Judge Lindsay, the whole question of the estab lishment of a bureau and the abolition of standing committees was referred to the special Conference Committee of Eight It was this committee which yesterday drew up the paper on the powers of the local and national bodies, which threatened to bring the whole question of jurisdiction before Congress or the Attorney General. Another important matter was the de cision of the question whether or not money awards should be granted to exhibitors. The live stock men were demanding sub stantial awards in casb, and threatening not to make an exhibit unless their de mands were complied with. AWARDS TOR LIVE STOCK. Commissioner Itusscll, of Nevada, intro duced a resolution that the local directorv be asked to appropriate 200,000 for live stock premiums. This was carried, and immediately thereafter the report of a joint Committee on Awnrd3 was introduced. This report did not favor money premiums, but that medals and certificates should be granted. The report concluded with the following'snccinct statement. First There shall no awards. Second The awards shall be granted npon specific points of excellence or advancement, formulated in words by a board of judges or examiners, who shall be competent experts, and tho evidence of these award shall be parchment certificates accompanied by bronze medals. In the opinion of the joint committee it is eminently fitting that the Government should furnish these certificates and medals, esperial Iv in tbe case of foreign exhibits, but there doe3 not appear to be any provision made therefor in the existing appropriations of Con gress. nOW ABOUT TnE LADIES? This report was laid over for consideration. The medals were disposed of, only to Jusber in a more complicated matter, and that was: "What are the lady managers here for?" This query came about through the request of Commissioner Furnas, Chairman of a committee which had been appointed to con fer with the ladies. Mr. Furnas had no idea of what he should tell the ladies, nor had any other of the wise 10G commissioners to whom the matter was submitted. For 15 minutes the gentleman floundered about in a sea of uncertainty, and then ungallantly swum ashore on a motion to lay the whole matter on the table. The ladies were left to settle the matter to suit themselves. The Judiciary Committee reported that in its opinion the salaries of the officers of tbe commission were not too large aud should stand. The report was adopted. THE LOCAL BOARD. The Chicago directory took a decided stand to-night in the controversy with the National Commission. An opinion by Lawyers Lvman Trumbull, W. C. Goudy and "John P. Wilson was adopted by the directors and ordered sent to each member of the National Commission, as defining tbe attitude of the directory. A committee of eight was appointed to meet a similar com mittee fromthe national organization, and it was requested that should this committee of conference, to be held Monday, result in disagreement a joint session of the full directory and commission he at once con vened.
