is, of course, an American."
A considerable number of Americana are
taking the cure at Carlsbad, Bohemia, at
this time, prominent among whom are Mrs.
Arthur Paget and Mrs. Dominates.
This "cure," by the way," has become a
serious thing, so serioua that several fash
ionable people who went there for It have
died through failure to take proper care
of themselves. It has come to such a pass
that after leaving Carlsbad many. If not
most, "patlenta" go to Switzerland to re
cruit. There Is the usual routine of bath
ing and drinking of health-giving waters
during the day, but In the afternoon and
at night there la a great deal of bridge
playing. Mrs. Paget Is one of the most ex
pert of the women player of London so
ciety. A rumor has been Industriously circulated
that Craig Wadsworth, the third aecretary
of the United States embassy In London, la
betrothed to a pretty and much admired
heiress, but the World correspondent la In
formed that auch gossip haa no foundation.
The young woman hinted at was Miss May
Goelet, who left London with her mother
very early In July about the time, If not
before, Mr. Wadaworth'a arrival. Mr.
Wadsworth is now living In Mr. Adair's
beautiful house on Curson street, but baa
been over to pay a visit to Mrs. Adair in
Ireland.
" Mr. Leslie at Favorite.
The ' visit ot.lbauke.ani duchess of
Connaught to Mr. Adair in Ireland was
practically arranged by Mra. Jack Leslie,
who waa also one of the guests at Glen Valg.
Mrs. Leslie is now a great friend of the
duchees of Connaught and a great many of
the- movementa of the duke and duchesa
arc arranged through her. Mrs. Leslie
was also ataylng with Lord and Lady Erne
when the Connaughta were there at one
time.
Mrs. Arthur Paget used to be tbe duchess
of Connaughfa great friend, but lately there
ha. been something like a coldness. One
reason for this estrangement is that the
duchess took umbrage at being Invited by
Mra. Paget to atay with her at Aacot and
subsequently finding out that It was Mr.
Thaw and not Mra. Paget who would have
been her boat. Mr. Thaw la a wealthy
young American, who spent a lavish sum
In entertaining "smart" people In Par a,
London and the aouth France. He took
the Ascot house and asked Mrs. Paget to
Invite his guests. This Is not an unusual
proceeding here.
When Hebert Bishop, another rich Ameri
can, rented Houghton, In Norfolk, it was
' Mra. Paget who invited first the king, who
then waa the prince of Wale, with i.r.
bouse party, and afterward the duke of
rork, with another big "smart" party.

Connaught ia Mrs. Clayton, who waa Mile.

OCTOBER INTEREST TO BE PAID NOW
Ne Evidence of a Ourreacy Famine, Yet
Emergencies Are Prepared For.
BANK BONDS TO BE REDEEMED NOW
Complaint of New York Banker Are
Easily Answered by the Action
of the Nation's Finan
cial Chief.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. Secretary
Shaw today Issued the following state
ment: Secretary Shaw haa made arrangements
to release about $4,000,000 of the treasury
holdings. He has had a list prepared of
those national banks throughout the coun
try which held free or pledged bonds at
the date of their last report and ha. made
Inquiry for other.. After making allow
ance for changed conditions since the last
report he expect, this will release at lesst
M.000,000.
He haa sent notice to all such that It
they will send these bonds to the treas
urer of the United States In sums of IM.
000 or more they will be designated aa
temporary deposltorlea and the face value
of the bonds will be deposited with them
to the credit of the treasurer of the
United Btates. He has pursued this
course in preference to designating de
positories In the ordinary way, which com
pels them to buy bonds In the market at
a large premium, thus paying out more
for the bonds than they get from the
government. The customs receipts are
extremely heavy at this season of the
year, and the cash balance of the treas
urer has been gradually Increasing.
Anticipate October Interest.
He haa also decided to anticipate tbe
October interest, amounting to about
$4,200,000, and with thla In view orders
have been Issued to tbe varioua sub
treasuries to caBh such coupons as may
be presented and th treasurer of the
United States has been instructed to mail
checks for interest on the registered
bonds. All this was decided upon some'
ii.jm ago ccd letters, and telegram pre
pared for today.
The aecretary sees in present conditions
no occasion for alarm. He calls attention
to the fact that there Is no evidence of a
currency famine present or prospective,
elsewhere than in New York, and even
there the rate is not high for commercial
paper, and for commercial paper he has
the greater solicitude. He Is well satisfied
with his efforts to increase the circulation
which he decided upon in the eerly rummer
whn pretent condition, were visible and
has been preparing to meet an emergency
which he doe not expect, but which he
think. It Is wise to provide against.
Thus fsr he has made requests only of
such bank. a. hold large deposits and have
very limited circulation, and he Is not ask
ing these to Increase to the maximum, nor to
increase at all for the present. He does
rot desire to force the banka into tbe mar
ket to buy bonds at a rate higher than the
government ia willing to pay. He does
desire to make the best possible use of
the free bonds now held by the bsnks.
Incidentally, he likes to encourage banka
to hold free bonde during the dull months,
believing It is much better to hold bonds
that will 'yield one-half of 1 per cent even
than to make new loan at 2 per cent. There
fore, be Is giving banka that bold the.e
free bond, an opportunity to uae them to
most excellent advantage. This method. If
pursued by the banks, would give a slight
element of elasticity to our otherwise
Inelastic currency system.
Position Explained In Letter.
Hi. ponttlon aa regard Increasing circu
lation is perhaps best expressed In a let
ter which he recently wrote to a banker
who had been already buying bonds, and
which he baa consented to make public. It
la as follows:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT. Washing
ton, l. C. Bept. 10, 1902: My Dear Sir
Your letter of the 8th is received. I find
it well nigh Impossible to convey the pur
port of my request even to the banks, of
whom I have made the request, much less
to the public.
First In case of Imminent danger, or
actual disaster, I will be compelled to uae
government deposit to buy increased cir
culation. Second I dealre to have from fifteen to
fifty million additional circulation printed
preparatory, ao that It can be Issued in
four days, inotead of forty.
Third I will be glad to have the banka
holding deposits to arrange. If they can,
to borrow the bonds.
Fourth I desire to send no bank Into
the market to buy bond at the present
time.
Fifth I do not care to have the cur
erticy Issued unless condition make It well
nigh Imperative.
I am making no demand upon any bank.
The amount of their circulation must be
determined by their directors, but Inas
much a the public holds the secretary of
the treasury somewhat responsible for ex
isting condition, I deem myself Justified
In using the public funds now held by
various, banks on deposit aa I think best
for the public good, and. In case of trouble,
I may think best to use these to buy In
creased circulation, the banks now holding
such funds having preference.
Later In the day the following was given
out at the Treasury department:
The New York banka are complaining be
ran He of the unprecedented demand in the
west Is reducing their available caiih.
They, therefore, ask that they he allowed
to go Into tr-e market, pay $1,100,000 for a
million bonds and receive from the treas
ury a million deposit with the bonds. Tht v
tie em willing to do this and increase their
reserve Ko.OUO against thla Increased
liability. Thus the banka would decrease
their available caHh I3o0,ou0, but they would
be drawin the Interest on tiie bonds. In
stead of thla the secretary Is loaning to
any bank wherever situated upon Its true
bonds, in tnis way me western demand
upon the lank will be relieved and they
win oniy nave to proieci intmaeivta.

POLICE MAKE SIX ARRESTS OF SUSPECTS
tiall. Who Was with Mardered Man,
Identlfle Three of Them a Be
tas; of the Party Which
Committed Assault.
Earl Caldwell, a Union Pacific machinist,
vas murdered at 12:50 o'clock last night
about one block up the street from tbe Cuss
street entrance to the shop grounds, a
he and a companion were returning from
leave in the city. M. W. Ball, a boiler
maker, bis companion, was knocked down
several time with clubs, but managed to
escape without eerlous Injury. The assail
ants were six young men, either striker or
strike eympathitera. Three men named
Spellman, Perkins and McKenna are sup
posed to have been of the party and the po
lice at once commenced to search for them.
Caldwell lived for about twenty minutes
and died in the barracks, or hotel, where
the men sleep. Dr. Smith, the company
physician, examined the body and found
that death resulted from several fractures
of the akull caused by some Irregular In
strument. The body wjav later removed to
the coroner's.
About fifteen or twenty men were al
lowed out on leave at 6:50 o'clock. Cald
well and Ball went up town with alx
others, but returned without their com
panions. As they neared the Cass street
gate eix men who were standing In -the
center of the street about a block from
the entrance came toward them and seeing
who they were attacked them without any
words, using sticks or clubs. Ball waa
the more powerful of the pair and waa aet
on by four of the aasAllnnt. sn h. .r.
He was struck on the head with a club anl
knocked down twice. Caldwell waa at
the aame time struck and knocked Into the
ditch. Ball wrenched himself free and
making a motion to his hip pocket ae
though to draw a revolver, said:
"Get back or I'll shoot."
The men, eelther frightened or thinking
they had done enough, drew off. Ball ran
to the gate and returned with one of the
watchmen. They put the Injured man on
his feet, and. not thinking him mortally
wounded, supported him through the shop
yard to the etep. of the barracks, where
he sank down, saying:
"I am getting dizay." He fainted and
died a few mlnutea later.
Police Find Assailant Gone.
The police were telephoned for and the
wagon causo on the run, but before lcy
arrived and could get the details of the
tragedy those Implicated bad fled. Ball
said that Ave of the men wore coat, and
tbe sixth waa in his shirt sleeves. He
thought that two of them were aged about
21 years, one had a abort, round face and
another wa. very bullet-beaded. The man
without a coat waa of light complexion.
Ball picked up a bat belonging to one of
tbe men and It waa aald to have been rec
ognized aa that worn by one of the strik
er's pickets,
Officer Eagan wa. on duty on the beat
pa.t the gate, but wa. at the further part
of hi. round at the time of the attack. He
remembered to have aeen aonie of tha
pickets and other striker, in the vicinity
earlier In the night. From the informa
tion given by a number of person, who
claim to have eeen one or the other of the
men about the gate and to have recognized
them by the description given by Ball and
others, it Is thought that the men men
tioned are three of the peraona who made
tbe fatal assault or are at least acceasorlea.
Caldwell came from Chicago to work on
July 9 and later, because of a lame foot,
went back borne, returning after a week'e
absence on September 5. He Is said to
have been a man who did not drink and

othera 'and, when being aearched at the
city jail, was detected trying to hide a
pair of brass knuckles.

assault waa committed, waa brought up and
Identified McKenna, Spellman and Carrigan

ONE WELL STILL
BURNING
Result of Klre la the Tesa
Field Ulv hat Little
Loss.
Oil
BEAUMONT, Tex.. Sept. 13. Tonight on
large oil gusher Is still burning, aeudtng a
column of flame high Into tbe air. ESorte
made this afternoon to extinguish tbe flamea
were not successful, but more boilers have
been aent for and the plan of smothering
It with steam will again be tried.
The small tank burned Itself out this
afternoon and the big one probably will
die out by morning. Many of tbe oil
companies have lost their pumping plsnta
and have wired orders for new machinery,
and thla will be Installed aa aoon as pos
sible. An examination leads to the belief
that no one of the wells has been perman
ently Injured. There is a new problem to b
confronted a soon aa tbe burning gushor
Is extinguished, and that ia control tf
th well. Th gale valve haa been me'.ted
(.If, and while It I probable that this can
be replaced. It will be a difficult operatios.
