Treasury Will Make Deposits
in Various National Banks.
Eddy Suit Discontinued Secretary
Root at Muldoon'i Woman and Boy
Held for Murder Gunboat for Na
val Militia Arab Horsemen Routed.
New Dairymeni' League.
Secretary of the Treasury Cortel
you has a new plan of depositing
government funds in New York, Bos
ton and other cities, to afford relief to
the money market In the approaching
crop moving period.
Secretary Cortelyou will, commenc
ing this week, place each week at
such points in the country as he shall
designate government funds to such
amount as he deems sufficient to pre
vent an acute monetary stringency
nnd possible panic, when the demand
for money Is greatest at the height of
the crop moving period.
The plan of the secretary for mone
tary relief is new to the financial
world and one which he believes will
prove more efficacious than the old
method of the treasury department In
waiting until the country was severe
ly shaken financially and then coming
Xo the relief at the last moment by
placing a large deposit of government
funds in New York banks. Secretary
Cortelyou did not state how much
money he would deposit each week,
though he indicated that the amount
would equal the situation.
Discontinuance of Eddy Suit.
A sudden though not wholly unex
pected ending of the masters' hearing
in connection with the suit in equity
brought by relatives for an account
ing of the property of Mrs. Mary Bak
er G. Eddy, leader of the Christian
Science faith, came in the superior
court room at Concord, N. H., on
Thursday, when former Senator Will
Jam E. Chandler, senior counsel for
the relatives or "next friends," an
nounced to the board of masters that
they had filed a motion with the su
perior court to dismiss their action.
The suit was brought on the grohnd
that Mrs. Eddy, being Incompetent on
account of age and infirmities, to man
age her own affairs, was the victim of
persons associated with her In Chris
tian Science work, who were named
as defendants.
Three masters were appointed by
the superior court to determine the
question of Mrs. Eddy's competency.
The reason for the petition for dis
missal as stated by Mr. Chandler, was
the belief that success along the lines
deseed could not be obtained and the
mrp rofltableness of any immediate re
sult of a decision in favor of the next
friends in the exact Issue as now
framed, compared with the burdens
nnd disadvantages to be endured both
before and after such a decision.
Secretary Root at Muldoon's Farm.
Secretary of State Root, who has

ic treatment for a severe attack of
nervous exhaustion, expects to com
plete his cure in two weeks more.
(He Is now well on the road to com
plete recovery and all reason for ap
prehension about his health seems to
have disappeared.
On the quiet farm among the West
chesti3ills so secluded that the
secretary of state was enabled to pass
three weeks there and be visited by
the president of the United States be
fore his whereabouts were discover
ed by the public Mr. Root has fleshed
up, put on jj. healthy coat of tan, lost

Conductor Killed In Boarding House.
Frederick N. Klstenmaker, 42 years
old, a freight conductor on the New

naled Mrs." Osborn when a train ap
proached so as to drown the sound of

lets Into Klstenmaker's head as he sat
at a table. .
Interpretation of Treaties.
Several of the delegates at The
Hague say that the 'American re
fusal to vote on any list of cases to be
submitted to obligatory arbitration
means that the United States govern
ment fears they might include the in
terpretation of treaties, in which case
the Panama question might be re
vived. The examining committee has
approved the American proposition
that vessels running a blockade may
becaptured, even outside the zone of
a blockade, and also established that
submarine mines may he used in ter
ritorial waters extending 10 miles
from the coasl
Sheila Mw Down Arab Horsemen.
General Drude has sent out recon
loitering parties from Casablanca
and has cleared the country within
three miles of his outposts. A French
column consisting of a company of
sharpshooters, a company of the for
eign legion and a section of artillery,
which performed this maneuver, was
assailed by a large number of Arab
horsemen, who with reckless courage
rode within 200 yards of the French
guns. The fierce shell fire, however,
mowed down their ranks and forced
them to fly. They carried away a
number of dead and wounded. The
French column pursued the enemy
for over a -mile. Captain Benoit and
tlx French privates were wounded.
The attacking Arabs are never twice
from the same tribes, those who once
undergo the French shell fire do not
retnrn.

the calculated cost to the government
?f subduing the revolution, but also to
pay other sums to be fixed by a com
mission of experts and which may
amount to $10,000,000 more. The pres
ent Judgment Is appealable to the su
perior court and from there to the
court of cassation. The sentence an
nounced by Judge Juan Liscano of the
civil court of first Instance concludes:
"For these reasons, and administer
ing justice In the name of the republic
and by authority of the law, this com
plaint Is declared to be well founded,
and In consequence the New York and
Bermudez company is condemned to
pay the sum of bolivars 24.178.C38.47,
which Is the amount of the erogatlons
made by the national treasury for the
purpose of suppressing the revolution,
as has been proven In the records, and
also to reimburse the nation, accord
ing to a Just assessment by experts,
for the followng damages and In
juries: "1. The discredit which, because of
the war, the Venezuelan nation may
have suffered In the conception of
other nations with whom relations of
an International or mercantile order
existed.
"2. The loss of Venezuelan citi
zens withdrawn from commercial pur
suits, agriculture. Industries and from
the activity of republican life, because
of the war.
"3. The necessity for the creation
of a war tax which produced bolivars
3,867.530.74 in 1903, and bolivars J.2.
928,870.13 in 1904.
"4. The decrease In the customs
revenues which from bolivars 29,940,
888.9G in 1901 descended to bolivars
19.834,701.09 in 1902, and to bolivars
11,428,329.81 in 1903, the years during
which the revolution led by General
Antonio Matos developed its greatest
strength.
"5. The decrease In the revenues
of the states, which from bolivars 9,
040,003.84 in 1901 descended to boli
vars 6.081.429.52 In 1902, and to boli
vars 4,079,185.43 in 1903. All of which
is established by proofs appearing in
the records.
"Inasmuch as, In the Judgment of
this court, there does not seem to
have been any Imprudence on the part
of the defense, It Is declared that
there Is no special condemnation in
costs."
It- was from American witnesses,
and from evidence taken before Amer
ican Judges in the United States

ment obtained Its most Important
proof of the part alleged to have been
played by the asphalt company In the
Matos revolution, the furnishing of
,the money with which to start the

STEAMER SUNK AT DOCK.
Passengers and Crew Escaped, Crrjo
Almost a Total Loss.
San Francisco, Aug. 27. The Pa
cific Mall Steamship company's steam
er Acapulco, Captain D. C. Trask, yes
terday turned turtle and sank at the
company's docks In this city. All the
passengers and crew escaped, but it Is
believed that the cargo consisting of
general merchandise will be almost a
total Iosb, as the hull of the vessel
Jles In about 15 feet of water.
The vessel was scheduled to sail for
Panama aud way ports at 1 o'clock
yesterday afternoon and was taking
on her last supply of coal when the ac
cident occurred.
It Is supposed to have been caused
by the listing of the vessel as the coal
was being loaded on one side. She
went down slowly, and all those on
board had time to clamber on the
dock. One man who was asleep at the
time was roused and he succeeded In
saving his life.
The Acapulco Is an ocean steamer
290 feet long, 40 feet wide and 20 feet
deep, with a gross tonnage of 2,572.
She was built in 1873 by the Harlin &
Hollingsworth company, Wilmington,
Del.
