the year, 1,7W,3U; admission fees re
ceived during the year. f 110,203.71; num
ber of foreclosures during the year,
s:7.
Kor the first time In the history of
the state this Information has been
collected. Commissioner Oilkeson Bays
that In his Judgment the tinuncial con
dition of the building and loan associa
tions or the state is sound. He thinks
the purely local building and loan as
sociation Is productive of much good.
The proper proportion between bor
rowing and non-borrowing members Is
maintained. Sixteen associations were
placed in the hands of receivers by
direction of the department, several of
these were subsequently discharged.
ASSOCIATIONS SHOULD KEG1S
TEU. Colonel Gllkeson recommends that oil
building and loan associations be re
quired to register in the department the
name of the association and names
and addresses of the officer: that when
an association expires an allldnvlt
should be tiled In the department; that
a printed copy of the annual statement
should also be tiled ; that the treasurer
should give a bond and deposit all
moneys of the association In the name
of the same: that foreign building nnd
loan associations be required to pay a
license fee In ndditlon to the annual
tax; prohibiting the Investment of
large sums of money In one mortgage
unless It be a bona tide loan to a home
builder or a temporary Investment of
otherwise Idle money. He deprecates
the loaning of money by associations
Upon such security as business blocks
or hall properties and recommends that
when building and loan associations
close out their business their charter
shall be surrendered and the depart
ment be given oltleldl Ttnowledge there
of; permitting the merger of one build
ing and loan association with another,
and providing that matured stock shall
be preferred stock, and allowing such
stock, to draw regular stated dividends
until paid off, and providing for the
retirement of the same. There Is also
a report on the foreign building nnd
loan associations doing business In this
state. The statistical showing of these
associations Is as follows:
Number of shares In force In Penn
sylvania, 20ilS,ri; loans on real estat",
S3,3fi7.rrfi.2; loans on the stock of such
associations. Jii'.IUS.tJit; value or real
estate owned, $67.47.6.".
Colonel Oilkeson reports what he has
previously said concerning these asso
ciations, which Is not an endorsement
of their methods. He thinks If the leg
islature authorizes the foreign associa
tions to do business In Pennsylvania,
then there should be some method of
taxation, otherwise heavy license fees
should lie Imposed nnd restrictions
placed upon foreign associations so as
to prevent them from doing business in
Pennsylvania.
MR. ELKINS' STATEMENT.
Not Identified With the Harrison In
trrnntionul Company.
New York. Nov. 22. United States
Fenator S. I!, ftlkins. when seen Inst
niijht at his office In this city made the
following statement in regard to the
charges of fruud and misappropriation
of the funds of the Harrison Interna
tional Telephone company by the di
rectors and stockholders of the com
pany. He said:
"1 know nothing whatever about a
suit which is snid to have been brought
for a receiver for the Harrison Inter
national company, nor do I know any
thing about matters appertaining to
that company. At the earnest request
of Mr. George R. Peck, counsel of the
ft. Paul railway, and ninny of my
Western friends, I agreed In 1S93, pro
viding that the company reduce the
stock to $3,000,000 or 14.000.000 and move
their office to New York, to become
the president and a director of the
company. I was notified at the time
that. I would be given a certain amount
of stock In the company for my ser
vices. This offer I absolutely refused.
I have never attended a meeting of the
directors or stockholders of the com
pany either by proxy or otherwise and
have never received one penny's worth
from them.
"From the newspapers that I read, I
hnve seen no allegations of fraud mnde
against me, but do not know what
stories the Western papers may have
printed. I have Instructed my lawyer
in Chicago to look Into the matter and
upon his report, providing the occasion
warrants, I will make a complete re
port In which I will forward my res
ignatlon to the company with other
correspondence which passed between
the company and myself."
CHANCE FOR AMERICAN BEEP.
Switzerland Will Eat o More A us
trian Meat.
Washington, Nov. 22. Consul Ku
Rene Germain, stationed at Zurich,
writes the department of state, that he
Is of the opinion that there Is now an
opening for the sale of American beef
in Switzerland.
The federal department of agricul
ture, he says, owing to the contagious
mouth and foot disease at present pre
vailing among meat cattle In Austria
Hungary, on Nov. 9, Issued a procla
mation prohibiting the Import of Austria-Hungarian
cattle Into Switzerland
until further notice. "Now or never,"
he says. It seems to him. "would be the
time Jor American cattlemen to make
an effort to introduce American beef
Into Switzerland.
"It must be remembered, however,
that France and Italy are ready and
able to supply this shortage, and if our
people want a share of this trade, they
must bring their cattle over here, for
no Swiss butcher or cattle dealer will
venture to buy animals In America and
bring them over at his own risk or ex
pense. If any one concludes to make
shipments, and I am advised of the
fact. I shall promptly Inform the butch
er association of Switzerland, who no
doubt will avail thehiselves of the op
portunity and buy the cattle delivered
either at an European seaport, or sta
tions in Switzerland."
Austria-Hungary being one of the
main sources of beef supply, it becomes
evident that the Swiss will have to sup
ply the shortage created by the. decree
prohibiting cattle from this country.
GERMAN ARMY OFFICERS.
They Still Regard Themselves at
Very Superior lififcgs.
Berlin, Nov. 22. It Is now conceded
that the debate which took place in
the lteichstag last week on duelling
in the army and the killing of Slebe
mann by Lieutenant Varoni von Hruse
wiU at Carlsruhe. Instead of modify
ing the attitude of military officers to
ward civilians, or tending to alter the
military code duello, has had a ten
dency to Intensify the existing preju
dices on the jiart of both otllcers and
civilinns. From the very first it has
been felt that only the personal Inter
vention of the emperor himself among
the otiicers would render any legislat
ive enactment efficacious.
When General von Gossler was ap
pointed minister of war upon the re
tirement of General Hronsart von Sehel
lendorf, it was surmised that the em
peror had a Very slight Intention indeed
of intervening to prevent duelling, and
the- attitude assumed by General von
Gossler In the Reichstag has confirmed
the worst forebodings. In his stiff and
even haughty demeanor In speaking,
and in his abrupt and broken sentences,
as though his words were addressed to
his Interiors, .the new war minister
showed himself throughout the discus
sion as possessed of the narrowest ideas
ot military cuate and plainly showed
that be was fretting under the neces
sity of responding to the assertions of
the members of the Reichstag.
The result is that the government's
promised measure of reform In the mil
itary judicial procedure Is already thor
oughly distrusted. Nobody believes
that the emperor is willing to initiate
a system of genuine reform in the ar
my, or that his majesty Is In the slight
est degree willing to lead a movement
to persuade military otllcers that they
are not superior beings, but mere citi
zens. THE PRINCESS ELOPES.
Clara Wa;d Ruas Away With a Hun
garian Musician Her Husband
Will Bring Suit for Divorce.
Paris. Nov. 22. The Princess of Chl
may and Caraman, wife of Prince Jo
seph of Chlmay and Caraman, Belgium,
has eloped with a Hungarian gypsy
musician, who was accustomed to play
In the Paris restaurants. Prince Jo
seph will bring suit against his wife
for divorce in the Brussels courts. The
princess was formerly Miss Clara
Ward, and was born In Detroit, Mich.
She was married to Prince Joseph In
Paris in 1SU0, nnd Is the mother of two
children.
Clara Ward Is not yet 21 years old,
and from the time she was 17 she has
cut a swath that Indicates a power of
elbow and Impulse not n-adily to be
exhuusted. The wonder of tne Ameri
can colonies In Europe at the infinite
variety of her girlhood changed to as
tonishment when she married Prince
Joseph Chlmay, fourteen years her el
der, but their interest In her meteoric
light was not allowed to lag after the
nuptials. The Princess Chlmay's
brother worked Into a notoriety which
aided in keeping the family traits be
fore the public, and he wound up by
eloping, ns his sister now has done.
Their mother. In their Infancy, had
startled the sober-minded of Michigan
by offering for $r0.000 the stocks and
shares which afterward realized $1),
000.000 that had belonged to her hus
band, who had dropped dead In the
street. The man whose end was so sud
den was eccentric all his life, und his
eccentricities had furnished conversa
tional topics to his Wolverine neighbors
In as great plenty ns his children sub
sequently afforded themes to Euro
peans. He was Captain Eben B. Ward, a
Canadian, who had come over to Michi
gan without money. He started sail
ing on the great lakes in IKilG. In two
years he took to shipbuilding, nnd In
course of time he came to be called the
king of the lake ship owners. Te built
two boats a year tney were side-wheel
steamers and by 1X48 had laid the
foundations of a fortune. He settled in
Detroit In that year, and bought up
Michigan pine lands, and later on built
Iron works In Wyandotte und In Chi
cago and Milwaukee.
Among his odd leanings was an Incli
nation toward spiritualism, so strong
that the mediums, according to report,
made a victim of him. In the early
seventies his fortune was estimated at
$12,000,000 to $15,000,000, nnd he was one
of the biggest men of Michigan, but he
would never hold olllce, although he
could probably have had any office In
the state. He was unlettered, but was
of Indomitable energy and will. He
was caught short In the panic of 73,
carrying too many enterprises on too
small a cash reserve, and some of his
property was sacrificed to carry him
through, the result being a shrinkage
of several millions that had not been
retrieved when In 1S73 he fell dend.
His first wife, by whom he had seven
children, had died lone before him.
anil he had, at the age of 61, six years
before his end, married a woman of
2H. who became the mother of two chil
dren, Clara and her brother. By the
terms of her husband's will Mrs. vV'ard
received all his valuable holdings, but
his other relatives, who got nothing. In
stituted a most vigorous contest, and
she was obliged to defend lawsuits
that extended over nineteen years. She
was victorious, however, and, a very
wealthy woman. She married Alexan
der Cameron, another Canadian. Her
daughter, Clara, then Princess Chimay,
celebrated the partition of the estate
and also her own twenty-first birthday
in February, 1894, by a grand dinner at
her home In Paris. The young girl was
very beautiful, as well as of great gay
ety of spirit. The title of Princess Chl
may was not In her keeping alone, an
other Princess Chlmay having become
the wife of the Due de Houffrement, of
Scandalous memory, whose name was
connected with sonic of the most sensa
tional times of the Third Empire and
who died a few yearB ago.
The Princess Clara's brother, young
Ward, four or five years ago became
notorious in a scandal, and when his
wife sued for divorce he tossed over to
her lawyer a package of papers repre
senting property from which she has
received $16,000 annual liicorn. He af
terward eloped with her maid and went
to Paris to live.
When Prince Baldwin, the heir to the
Belgian throne, died in a mysterious
way the name Chlmay was connected
with the occurrence In the gossTp of
the day, which had It that the Belgian
heir, whose profligacy was notorious,
had declared when 19 years old that he
would win the Princess Chimay, of
whom he had become enamored at
sight. Gossip said that he was shot by
Prince Chimay.
HANNA AND THE INAUGURATION.
Says He Will Huve Charge of the
Ceremonies on March 4.
Cleveland, O., Nov. 22. Mark Hanna
said yesterday:
"My correspondence la almost as
large as during the heat of the cam
paign. I was forced to call. Major Dick
here to take care of It."
"Have you not overstepped your pre
rogative as chairman of the national
committee In deciding to assume full
charge of the Inaugural ceremonies at
Washington?"
"Who said I had?"
Mr. Hanna was told of the Wash
ington despatch saying that leading
Republicans were huffed because, as
they claimed. Mr. 'Hanna had broken
an established custom whereby the de
tails of the ceremonies were left to the
local committees. Mr. Hanna said:
"This Is the first I have heard of this.
It was the general sentiment of the nu
tlonal committee that the affair should
be loft in my hands. I hope to make
the event a national arrat. and what
is more, 1 will take a distinct pride in
the showing that will be made by Ohio.
This Is a matter of state pride, and I
believe Ohio Republicans will back me
up.
NAIL TRUST COLLAPSE.
The Gigantic Combination Obliged to
Hold Up lis Hands at a Sea
of Troubles.
Chicago, Nov. 22. A morning paper
savs: The great wire nail trust which
has levied tribute on the people of the
United States and Canada since June
1. 1VJ5. has collapsed and will endeavor
to wind UP Its affairs Dec. 1. Sales
agents representing mills within the
pool were yesterday scrambling to sen
nails at $1.70 per keg in Chicago, which
is precisely $1 per keg below the trust's
circular price, and Jobbers were selling
in lots of from one to one thousand
kegs from store at $2 per keg. Before
the end of the present week the price
will undoubtedly be down to $1.25 per
keg, or within 30 cents of tne lowest
price they have ever sokl here. The
trust has thrown up botn nanus, anu in
a circular to the "Jobbers" gives them
liberty to sell at any price they please.
Troubles have multiplied on the
trust's head very rapidly during the
last eight months. In that time the
stream of dollars which poured Into Its
coffers during the eurly months of Its
career hud to be used to buv up. at
round prices the opposition mills wnlcn
sprang up on all sides, as well as to
meet a multitude ot otner expenses.
Not the least of these was the mainten
ance of a regular force of Inspectors al
most as large as the government secret
service to keep all the members of the
pool "toting fair."
For this and kindred purposes the
trust Imposed a pool tax of $1.50 per
keg on all the nails sold by Its mem
bers and rebated to them the difference
after the objects sought were accom
plished. A fund of $1,500,000 was re
turned to members on the showing
made four months ago, but since that
time the trust's officials and commit
tees have Incurred liabilities of much
more than this In their desperate light
to keep the trust going. These liabili
ties which have to be met by the indi
vidual mills composing the trust, and
a long period of litigation is highly
probable.
The advance of 15 cents per keg. or
dered by the trust at Its March meet
ing in this city, was the last act which
marked the trust s doom. This result
ed In an Immense curtailment of the
di'inund and In turn forced the trust to
close up 90 per cent, of Its mills and
throw its workmen out of employment
In order to reduce the output to com
ply with the consumers' needs. The
entire sales of nulls by the trust mills
during July were hut 30,000 kegs, and
In August but 25,000 kegs, though the
output agreed upon for these months
was 60.000 und 50,000 kegs respectively.
The March output reached 950,000 kegs.
RUSSIAN-FRENCH ENTENTE.
M. Hauotuux Hays It Exists, but
Throws No l.ilit on It.
Taris, Nov. 22. In the chamber of
deputies yesterday M. Millerand, So
cialist, asked the government to explain
the nature of the understanding be
tween France and Russia.
M. Hanotaux, minister) of foreign af
fairs, amid great applause, which was
renewed as he concluded, read a decla
ration sotting forth that the cabinets of
Fiance for several years past had each
followed the same line toward Russia,
the effect of which had been observed
upon the ocension of the recent visit
of the czar, which visit had resulted
in cordiality which the whole world
felt. A solemn act, he sold, had been
accomplished through the affectionate
meeting of a great sovereign and a
great people. After enlarging upon the
enthusiasm of the czar over the fetes
given In his honor, M. Hanotaux said:
"I can only reply to M. Millerand by
recnlling the precise concerted terms
expressed by the czar and the president
of the republic at Cherbourg, before the
nuval otllcers; In Paris, before the rep
resentatives of the government, and at
Chalons, before the military chiefs.
The chamber will appreciate the fact
that duty Imposes upon me the obli
gation to say nothing more concerning
the entente, upon which nobody now
dreams of casting any doubts."
EARL COWLEY'S DIVORCE SUIT.
His Wile is the Daughter or the .Mar
qui of Abergnvciiiir.
London, Nov. 22. The divorce suit In
stituted against Earl Cowley revives
some recollections of his career. The
general public first heard of him. when
as Viscount Danguti, he was defendant
In a breach of promise action brought
by the actress Miss Phyllis Hroughton.
Miss Phyllis, under arrangement, got
10.000 from Viscount Dnngan.
Soon afterward he married Lady Vio
let Neville, daughter of the Marquis of
Abergnvenny. Now comes the divorce
suit. There Is, beyond society talk,
nothing specially to be recorded about
him. He has repute as a clever sports
man, a first-rate rider, winning events
nt county meetings everywhere. Ha
owes his rank to his direct descent
from the first Lord Cowley, the his
torically famous diplomat, who was a
brother of the llrst Duke of Wellington,
and came in for a part of the triumph
and spoils of the duke. The first Lord
Cowley was made baron In lSL'S, the
second, a well-known and notably
clever English ambassador at Paris,
was created an earl, and the third is
the gentleman who now make his ap
pearance in the divorce court.
STEEL SCREW COLLIER ASHORE.
Five of the Crew Reach the Shore in
Safety.
San Francisco, Nov. 22. The South
ern Pacific Railway company's steel
screw colliery. Sun Benito, coal laden
from Tacomo, to San Francisco, was
driven ashore in a gale this afternoon
near Point Arena, California. The San
Benito carries a crew of forty-five, of
which five have reached, the land in
safety.
The others are reported to be perched
in the rigging and at the mercy of the
waves. Point. Arena Is a considerable
distance from any telegraph station
and details are meagre.
Sciatic Illminintmn Cured.
L. Wagner, wholesale druggist, Rich
mond, Va., says: "I had a fearful
attack of Sciatic Rheumatism, was laid
up ulmost two months; was fortunate
enough to get Mystic Cure for Rheuma
tism. This cuted me after doctor's
prescriptions had failed to have any
effect. I have aleo heard of fine results
from others who have used It."
