Operated en for an Abicett on tht
Leg Caused by the Trolley
Car Accident.
r-roaMent Roosevelt' Western trip
cams to an untimely end at Indian
anolls, Ind.. Tuesday. Ho was found
to be suffering from a swelling In the
li-t't h'i: between tlio knee and tlie
ankle, which required Immediate snr
(ileal at trillion, and, instead of belli 3
taken to Iho train to continue his Jour
ney, he was conveyed to St. Vincent's
hospital, whero he wits operated on.
The operation occurred at 4:30 o'clock,
and lateil only a short time. Then
he was taken to a private room In the
hospital to rest. After taking a light
luncheon nt 7:30 p. m. he was con
veyed on a stretcher to his train,
which had been hacked up on a "Y"
near the hospital, and the train left
for Washington. The use of the knife
was brief and did not Involve any Im
portant consequences to the Presi
dent's general health. The first public
knowledge of tho affair came In the
form of a bulletin Issued by Secretary
Cortelyou. Alter the President en
tered the operating room he sat down
and waited for Instructions from tho
physicians and surgeons, watching
their preparations with keen Interest.
"I am awfully sorry I cannot continue
my Western trip," said he. "Cau't
you let mo go ahead with It after this
thing Is over?" Several of the sur
geons turned to him and one said: "It
Is my opinion that you would be very
Indiscreet to continue on your feet, as
would be necessary In your speech
making trip, after the operation. This
is by no means a serious thing, and
there Is absolutely no danger of ser
ious conxequencei from It If you are
car?ful and stay off your feet until the
trouble Is over. Hut you should by all
means, Mr. President, discontinue your
trip." "Very well, then, It will have
to he that way." raid the President
resignedly. "1 will do as you gentle
men say. Now, what do you want me
to do?" The President was told to re
move his shoes and stockings and
nether garments. He also removed his
coat and vest. A moment later he was
told simply to remove his shoe and the
physicians would be required to bare
the leg only. This done, the Prebldent
walked to the operating table, and as
he lay down ho remarked with a smile:
"Gentlemen, you are formal. I see
you have your gloves on." The opera
tion was begun without delay. The
pain catiRed tho President to mutter
several times In a low voice, but he
said nothing that was distinct eeept
to ask for a glass of water beforu tlio
needle had been removed. After the
operation was over he made several
laughing remarks concerning trivial
matters and asked It he would he al
lowed to use his leg long enough to
walk upstairs himself. He was con
veyed to the special car and started
on his return trip to Washington,

EXTENSIVE FRAUDS.
Grelg's Defalcation Amount to Over
35,000 Pounds, and He Had
Confederates. -
Indications are that the Carnegie
Steel Company has been systematical
ly robbed for years by organized
crooks, associated with Lawrence H.
Grelg, the confidential clerk of
Colonel Millard Hunslker, Its London
agent. Grelg's defalcations so far
discovered exceed $175,000. Ho used
the funds to run four wildcat com
panies, for each of which he main
tained separate elaborate city offices.
The company has secured the best
legal talent, and will push the case
to the limit. Scotland Yard detec
tives at work on the case promise the
greatest sensation In yenrs. Oreig,
who waa remanded on the charge of
forging checks amounting to $9,500,
purporting to have been signed by
Colonel Hunslker, waa given a second
hearing and again remanded. Coun
sel for the prosecution said that prob
ably others were Implicated In the
case, which promised to develop
largely. The Information disclosed
thnt not only had forgeries been com
mitted, but embezzlement and theft
of correspondence from Pittsburg to
tho Carnegie Company. .Counsel
handed in forged checks for $90,(1111
and $50,000, respectively. He said
the forgeries were all of great magni
tude. The prisoner, he declared, kept
up a lavish establishment at Kings-ton-upon-Thames.
and steps were be
ing taken to prevent the removal of
his handsome furniture. Counsel
also handed the magistrate a letter
rrom a prisoner In Exeter Jail, which,
the magistrate snld, threw quite a
new light on tho case. Counsel added
that an examination of the books
showed not only that Grelg's forgeries
were for a very large amount, but
that there had been an extensive fal
sification of the books. Tho prisoner
had apparently been carrying on large
businesses. At various addresses In
Ihe city the police have seized a mass
of documents and correspondence.
They also discovered that chloride
of lime had been used In erasing
names from checks. Colonel Hun
slker said that some of the money had
been recovered.

CANNOT BE DEPOSITED
Secretary Shaw Give Out a State
ment Regarding the Money In
the Treasury.
Secretary Shaw gave out the follow
ing statement: "Money once covered
Into the treasury (and this, of course,
includes the sub-treasures) cannot
thereafter be deposited In banks. All
custom receipts are by law payable to
the treasury and sub-treasuries. The
only fund therefore available for de
posit In banks Is Internal revenue and
miscellaneous receipts before they
have been actually covered Into the
treasury. These amount to about half
a million per day, and since the
stringency arose to their fullest ex
tent, have been steadfastly returned to
circulation. "This policy will be con
tinued for 30 or 110 days If needed, and
longnr If necessary. In the meantime
National bank circulation has been in
creased about $7.1100.000, largely In
duced by the distribution of deposits,
and the further Increase to the amount
of $8.1)00.000 Is assured. All rumors of
experiments havs been unauthorized
by the treasury department. It is to
be hoped that tho public will place no
credenre In vagaries started by lire
sponsible and uutrusted men of the
street. It. 1st also hoped that the coun
try will understand that the treasury
department, to the extent of its ability,
will stand by the banks, East and
Wect, North and South, and It Is
hoped also that tho banks will stand
by every business and every Interest
that Is worth protecting. The only
way to get money out of the treasury
Into circulation, after It has been actu
ally covered In, is by the payment of
legal obligations cf the government.
These may be anticipated. The de
partment did anticipate the October
Interests. It now offers to anticipate
all Interest maturing between October
t, and the end of the fiscal year. If
presented within BO days, at a rrjhato
of two-tenths of J per cent per month,
which Is at the rate of 2.4 per cent
per annum. In other words these ob
ligations will be prepaid at such a rate
ns to allow the government to profit
thereby at 2.4 per cent per annum. The
amount maturing before June 30, 19o3,

TIDE OF PROSPERITY
Sweeps Over Obstacles Tight Money.
Fuel Scareity and Crop Damage
All Overcome.
R. G. Dun & Co.' Weekly Review of
Trade says: Notwithstanding the dis
arranged money market, almost a fuel
famine and some damage to crops, in
dustrial and commercial activity con
tinues tunabated and the magnitude
of plans for the future Indicates that
confidence has not been shaken.
Scarcity of funds ha thus far caused
no hardship except to speculators, and
the stringency will remedy Itself by
contracting loan on stock exchange
collateral, together with such aid as
may be offered by the treasury, which
Is partly responsible through absorp
tion of funds. Injury to crops by frost
has no more than offset the Increased
acreage, while high prices fully com
pensate producers. Railway earnings
for September thus far exceed last
year's by 6.8 per cent, and those of
1900 by 16.5 per cent. Pressure In the
iron and steel industry has been some
what alleviated by larger receipts of
coke and liberal imports of pig iron
wo iuei famine exists, aitnougn tn
furnaces are consuming receipts ot
coke as they arrive, and It Is lmpoi
Bible to provide for more than tni
mediate needs. 3ome idle plants ha
resumed and now operate from day ti
day with the constant menace of an
interrupted movement of fuel, whic
would suspend operations. At the wej
this factor Is most serious, coke com
manding $;o a ton or more, while i
exceptional cases $13 has been paiill
foreign iron is rreeiy receivea an',
other 'consignments are under considet

been placed abroad. Needa for stnp
tural shapes are Increasing, muc
work being held back by alow shii
merits, and orders are reported foi

further slight advance in foo
wear quotations Indicates that tlif
healthy demand has made It posslbl
for manufacturers to secure compel
satlon for the recent sharp rise In mi
terials. Country hides show the- prii
cipal declines of the week. AlthoiiK
cotton goods are firmly held, the ma
ket Is quiet, as buyers are content i
take only such quantities as are nee,
ed for Immediate distribution. It
