The
lowed a petition in bankruptcy filed
against Mrs. Chadwigk by Jacques
Krakauer, of New York, a dealer in
laces and embrdidery. He claims
$600 to be due him from Mrs. Chad-
wick. The:names of George Couch,
a liveryman of .Cleveland, and H. F.
Potter, a merchant, were also signed
to the pétition on claims of $300 and
250, respectively. The petitioners
set forth that the giving of a note to
the Elyria bank by Mrs. Chadwick
while she was.indebted to them con-
stitutes an act of insolvency.
“The plaintiffs in their petition de-
clare “that within four months pre-
ceding the filing of this petition,
while insolvent, Mrs. Chadwick paid
to D. Wheaton & Son, of Cleveland,
$700, with intent to prefer Wheaton
over other creditors.” The Wheatons

force a settlement and a complete
estoppal of further operations by Mrs.

vestigation, exposure and final distri-
bution of ‘her’ property among the
various creditors.

money paid out upon a debt within
six months previous to the filing of
the petition in bankruptcy, is consid-
ered to mean that the bankrupt pre-
fers them to other creditors. The
lay also allows the receiver to col-
lect from such creditors any moneys
or valuables received and distribute
thém among other creditors, of being
treated alike, receiving the same per-
centage. of the assets found accord-
ing to the amount of their claims.

Port Arthur: Squadron Wiil Be De-

With the confirmation of the news |
that the Jap anese have occupied 203 |

Russians unsuccessfully attempted its!
recapture, officials at the war office
are beginning to prepare themselves
for the inevitable.
Golden hill and I.iaoti hill are high-
er, and dominate 203 Meter hill, but
the officials say if the Japanese suc-
ceed in mounting heavy guns upon the
latter, it probably will be only a
question of days or weeks before the
fortress falls. Still there is not the
slightest idea among Gen. Stoessel’s
friends that he will surrender, even"
if he should be ordered ‘to do so.

WORLD'S FAIR CLOSED.
Was the Greatest Exposition on
ord—Financial Report.
The Louisiana Purchase Exposition
ended December I= - From its inception
to its close the greatest World's Fair
of history represented work covering
seven years, the actual duration of the
show being as many months.
The man probably most prominent-
ly known in connection with the
World's Fair is the President, David
R. Francis, and in his honor the final
day was designated as “Francis day.”
“This Exposition has been the work
of my life,” said President Francis.
“It has consumed my entire time for
the past four years, but every hour
has been an hour of pleasure to me.”
| The closing exercises were held at
| the base’ of the Louisiana Purchase
mounment in the Plaza of St. Louis,
where were held seven months ago
the exercises that formally opened the
Rec-
gates to the world. The principal
speeches delivered were by Governor
Dockery ¢f Missouri and President
Francis. Mayor Wells spoke briefly
and introduced Governor Dockery.
That every citizen of St. Louis
might participate in the last day of the
| ‘Exposition the day was proclaimed a
holiday by Mayor Wells. Governor
Dockery likewise had proclaimed
throughout the State that to-day was
| especially set apart for paying final
f homage to the Exposition.

PANAMA TROUBLE SETTLED.
Taft's Mission to the Isthmus. is
Successful.
The differences between the United
States and Panama which made nec-
essary the visit of Secretary of War
Taft to the isthmus were settled’ by
the issuance of an Executive order
signed by Secretary Taft, for Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and assented to in a
letter by President Amador of Pana-
ma.
The order provides that no trade for
the canal zone or the Republic of
Panama can enter the ports establish-
ed by the United States at either end
of the canal, supplies for the construc-
tion of the canal and articles in tran-
sit being excepted. This turns the
customs receipts of these ports over
to the Government of Panama.
Panama agrees to reduce her tariff
from 15 per cent ad valorem to 10
per cent. This reduction applies to

hol and opium. Panama also agrees
to reduce her consular fees and port

present charged.

Vessels entering the ca-
| nal ports are granted free entry to the
ports of Colon and Panama, and ves-
sels entering the latter ports are ex-
tended the same privileges in the ca-

granted the United States in the har-
bors of Colon and Panama as to sani-

to purchase stamps from Panama at

into effect the gold standard, accord-
ing to the currency agreement of June
20, 1904.

The Attempt to Execute a Turning

ing dispatch has been given out: + ,
“The army commenced a bombard-
ment against 203. Metre Hill at |
dawn November 30, and made several |
charges before 4 o'clock in the jaftér- |
noon. Owing lo the enemy’s _stub-
born resistance the charges failed. |

the top, which was occupied by our
forces. Against the northeastern |
part of the hill we also charged, and
at 8 o’ciock the entire fort on the
summit fell into our hands. i
“The Russians left heaps of dead |

hill, but we have had no time to in-|

The emperor opened ' the second]

address:
“Our expeditionary forces have !

of their loyalty and bravery, so that
the progress of the war has been con- |
