Kx-Queen Lll- luokahinl arrived here this morning from San Francisco. She was accom panied by her agent, Mr. Joe Helehute, Mrs. Cii-aham, her personal companion, and a maid and two children of Mrs. tiraham. The ex-tiecu traveled as an ordinury passenger and did not occupy a special car. The party did not stop but proceeded to Washington. The ex queen vigorously repudiated the In tel view which a reported professed to have had with her at Houston, Tex. She said: "It is all n mistake. T was never spoken with nt Houston. Can you won der at my dillideiice in meeting news paper men when they insist on putting words into my mouth I n-ver utter. I am sure that you will aiiprecinte my position. I am nothing but a deposed queen. I cannot talk about my country or the future for fi-nr that what I might say will be distorted. 1 have livid since the revolution In absolute retirement and have taken little heed of public matters.

John Wanamcker, Seeing That He Is Beaten, Is Figuring on Getting Under Political Cover. Pittsburg, Dre. 23. The Coinmercial Uazette prints a special from Philadel phia which says: John Wunamaker will probably not u rmit his name to go before the Itepublican legislative caucus as a candidate for I'nltcd Stales senator. It Is known that he is heartily sick of the whole nffulr. and since the tjuay dinner to the state senators he and his friends are said to lie consider ing how he can retire front the contest without up'icartiia to have been forced out. II would never have gone Into the struggle had not Ills close friend, Thomas I loin n. assured him that Sena tor juay would give him his support, and under that Impression he consented to enter the race Senator Ouuy has not only declined to countenance his election to the Culled States Semite, but has shocked him by declaring that he would oppose him above all others. The Philadelphia merchant now real izes that he cannot win, and If he can withdraw gracefully before the caucus meets hi' will do so. That his friends are fullv cognizant of tile situation, which offers no consolation to I heir candidate, Is shown by their talks of revenge upon those who now control the lo piiblicali stale organization, and 111.' preparations they are making to control the party in the luture. It Is an open secret mat the next governorship is now the aim of Ihe business men to control. They propose to organise a stale committee coni-pos-'d of two members from each county one a politician and the other a busi ness man. They expect the branches of the Pusiness Men's league In the varhms i utilities toco-operate with the anll-tjiiiiy politicians, and to wine out of political existence the leaders in tile present organization. .- - - .

Constantinople, Dec. 22. All the am bassadors have now received Instruc tion); to concert fresh proposals with the view of Improving the situation in the ottoman empire. The proposals, before being submitted to the Sultan, w ill be referred to their respective gov ernments. All the powers. Including Kussla. as repeatedly announced durin; the pust few months, have atrreed In principle to the expediency of employing coer cion should the sultan be recalcitrant. Put the form of coercion to be employed will not be determined upon until un emergency arises. London, Dee. 23. As frequently an nounced from various capitals, since the visits of the czar to the queen at I 'almond in September last, the powers have finally become convinced that the sultan's promises amount to nothing, und they ure determined to begin a policy of coercion. All Information points to the accuracy of the news re ceived today from Constantinople. The miirquis of Salisbury, on Monday last, summoned the ambassadors to the foreign olllce. and communicated to them the views of the British govern ment on the definite proposals of Rus sia for joint Intervention, in order that each umbas.sador might communicate them to his own government, and thus i liable the representatives, of the great powers at Constantinople to be proper ly Instructed. There Is reason to believe that unless the sultan, within the next ten days, shows a deference, of which at present he is little suspected, very decisive steps M ill be undertaken III the name ol the joint powers. In tliis connection the "Xovoe Vreniya" of St. Petersburg says It Is probable that within a few days the llusslan Ul'.ick sea fleet will nopear In the linsphoriis, w hero It will be join il by Hie squadrons of the other powers from the Durdanelles.

The Arrest cl Dreyer and Berger lor Receiving Deposits When Knowing Their Bank Was Insolvent. Chi'-ngo, Dec. 23. Charges and coun ter charges In connection with the man agement of the National bank of Illi nois were made today and engrossed the attention of the financial community lo the exclusion of the day's events sur rottnd'ng .the National Bank, vollupss. The arrest of Bunkers Dreyei and Berger, the discharge of the receiver of the Roselund hank and the continuation ol the savings depositors run on the Illinois Trust and Savings bank and the Hibernian Hanking association, were the principle developments. The pub lic scare is practically over and a. complete respiration uf contldcnce seems to be effected. By arrangement of the police depart ment, counsel for Hie defendants and Justice of the peace, W. T. Hull, the ac cused private bankers, lOdvvurd S. Drey er and Robert Berger, entered Justice I lull's private court room at 2 o'clock tliis afternoon. Detective Fay, who held the warrants which P. K. Kennedy, u saloon keeper and depositor at Dreyer o. Co.'s bunk had sworn to, announced that the men were under nrrest. The (barge Is each case is that the banker received a deposit of $lfi3 at the close of business last Saturday, knowing at the time thut they were Insolvent. The defendants were accompanied by Adolf Kraiis. their lawyer, mid Charles H. Wackcr. of Win ker & Kirk Brewing company. The latter signed the bond of the bankers In the sum of SaOO each for their appearunce In Justice Hall's court Jan. 2. Kennedy says lie Is act ing for himself only, but his action Is regarded as premature uml ill advised by those who believe the Dreyer & Co. failure could not be foreseen. In this connection Levy Mayer, counsel for the National bank of Illinois, and Dreyer and Berger. said this afternoon: "Dreyer vi company cleared through the National hank of Illinois. At t In close of business Saturday afternoon there was not the slightest doubt enter tained by the linn or even the shadow ol a suggestion that they would not go on us usual Monday morning. With out a cleuriug bank they could not pos sibly open up. The end of the Nation al bank of Illinois was as sudden us It was an:zi!iL'. As one of its counsel I had not the slightest Intimation that there was any suspicion against the bank until late Saturday night. Drey er & Company did not know until Sun day that their clearing was in danger. They then took stops which lesillteu in the receivership. The agitation as present has made some people precipi tate and hasty In their criticism, their action und their advice. When the ex citement lias subsided and the receiver has made u thorough Investigation into tile estate und then only will people be in a position to calmly pass Judgment. The causes for the .National hank of Illinois failure and its condition will no doubt in due time be placed before toe public. These Calilinel Hlectrlc bonds, which have nil of a sudden dwindled Into so iiisitriiilh ant un asset have for Some years been coveted by some ont slders'and the Interest on these bonds has always been promptly met."

STEEL BILLET POOL. .Nothing Further Will lie Done To wards I nitiug Interests nt Present. New York. Dec. 23. Several of the prominent steel manufacturers who at tended tilt- conference of the billet pool in this city yesterday discussed the situation again this morning. It was generally admitted that no further agreement can be entered into with any feeling of permanence unless the Inter ests ure thoroughly united upon a bet ter basis than was arrived at last month. At 1 o'clock the following statement was made by a representative of one of the largest concerns: Nothing will be done towards uniting the interests affected until a general agreement Is practically assured upon u basis warranting long contracts and Justifying a feeling of security. Lack of such feeling in the pust has led to our present dltllculties. It has been quite evident to some of the parties In terested for some time that pool ugree inelits were not lived Up to. and that the complaints made at Pittsburg hud some foundation in fuel. Nobody knows when we shall meet again, but when we do I think that more will be accomplished than was done yester day. We want a dclluite arrangement, broad enough to take in the smaller ounce! ns dependent on u general agree ment for protection, and yet rigid enough to prevent such practices us led to the Pittsburg rupture.
