Fearful voyage of trans­ port MANAUENSE. T*w«l U Canxkt In * Typhoon aad Ai- „ fives at Manila in a^8»nkirnf Condi* v;lion Soldiers Kept tiailiag for Days ;in Ignorance of Their Danger, v,Fr-',e armJr transport Manauense arrir- at Manila, thirty-three days from San Francisco. She narrowly escaped foun­ dering with all on board, as .her engines broke down and she rolled three days at the mercy of a typhoon. The Manauense had on board Lieut. Col. Webb Hayes and three companies of the Thirty-tirst infantry. The officers and soldiers were kept baling for twelve days and it was Almost a miracle that the vessel reached Manila. The steamer, it is claimed, was unseaworthy, undermanned and short of (•revisions. When the Manauense anchored In Ma­ nila bay there was several feet of water III her hold and 400 grimy, greasy, hun­ gry, exhausted soldiers and sailors who had been passing buckets of water for two weeks, night and day. First Assist­ ant Engineer Dunleavy was under arrest, aid, according to Col. Webb Hayes' offi­ cial report, the chief engineer would also have been under arrest if there had been anyone to replace him. iiii - Men Ignorant of Danger.' • The colonel's report also declares that captain of the vessel told him that the only thing which brought them through was the fact that the men were jppeenfroraH and failed to realize their danger, while experienced seamen would' have deserted the ship and' taken to the boats in midocean. The Manauense is a chartered ship fly­ ing the British flag. She started from San Francisco accompanied by the trans­ port Pekin, which carried the remainder of the regiment and encountered heavjr seas fo Honolulu without accident. \ After starting it developed that she was BBdornianned and soldiers had to be de­ tailed to act as firemen, coal passers and waiters and to do other work. Before reaching Honolulu the crew concluded ' that the ship was not safe and the ma­ jority agreed to desert. Though they Were closely watched, many of the crew succeeded in getting away and the Ma­ nauense left Honolulu with less than half her crew. The vessel sprung a leak and an investigation resulted in finding sev­ eral feet of water in her hold. The steam -_pumps were tried, but failed to work, and the*<i were no hand pumps on board. HoweVw^ forty-six buckets were found, others were improvised and the soldiers not employed in working the ship were organized into five shifts and, stripping and forming lines, they began baling, the olHcers working with the men, passing the buckets, which were sent up to the deck by a windlass. The baling continued Wttil the ship anchored at Manila. / „ Machinery Is Disabled. /». The same day the leak was discovered t|(e machinery collapsed and the electric lighting plant and evaporating, distilling and refrigerating apparatus failed to 'work. There were no lamps and the few candles found were exhausted after a few days. During the last week of the passage the Manauense was in utter darkness at night. She had been rolling in heavy seas all the way, but Nov. 22 she encountered a typhoon find pitched and tossed alarmingly. The Pekin be­ came separated from the Manauense in the storm. The water rose rapidly and the firemen could only feed the fires by being lifted on the shoulders of the other me 11 through water waist deep. " The typhoon lasted two days and a half and in the midst of it tbe engines stopped. : TJ>e officers held a council and found that there were 420 persons on board, with lifeboat accommodations for 213. - In the meantime the men below, ignor- «ot of their extreme peril, were passing bQckcts and singing, while the ship rolled helplessly on the ocean with hatches clos­ ed. The heat was intense until the ty­ phoon passed. Throughout the remainder of the voyage the engines of the Mana­ uense failed frequently and the ship would roll for a few hours while the en­ gines were repairing. Then the steamer ; ypuld proceed again for a few hours. The moat and vegetables rotted because o| the failure of the refrigerators and were thrown overboard. The officers and soldiers were utterly exhausted when they reached Manila. They declare the engineers were grossly incompetent. The officers also say that the behavior of the troops was beyond praise. For days they worked in the dark, suffocating hold with water sometimes up to their shoulders and planks washing about In a manner dangerous to life and limb. Harper & brothers in straits State Trust Company Takes Charge of jj ;- New York Publishing Honse. ?tThe difficulties under which the New 'Hbrk publishing house of Harper & Bros, has, according to rumor, been laboring for many months, resulted Tuesday in the entire business passing from the hands of the Harpers into the control of the State Trust Company, acting as trus­ tees for J.

FRANKI.IN SYSDICATK HBADQUAHTEH8 W. F. MILLER. Complete Collapse of the Moat Glaring Swindle of Recent Tears. The "Franklin syndicate," the empty shell of which the New York police are now carefully guardiog, presents one of those typical cases Which will probably continue to con- jpound the lawmak­ er and sadden the economist until the Millennium. Of course, the ^syndicate" was a barefaced swindle. There was nothing new in its plan. Scores of like swin­ dles have run their course, milked their victims and been copiously exposed in the newspapers. The only novelty about the New York con­ cern lay in the circumstance that it out­ did all predecessors in the openly fraudu­ lent character of its scheme. In short, it promised depositors a return of 10 per cent a week to be won in stock exchange speculation. It actually paid this rate on deposits for more than a year and at the time of its collapse is said to have had on hand something over $1,000,000. The wonder is where people of so little sense got so much money. One day just be­ fore the collapse Miller claimed to have taken |p $80,000 atid paid out $30,000 in interest. » Attention was directed to tifie place, but, in the absence of complaints, the police and district, attorney were unable to act. The banks shut down on the syndicate, however, when depositors be­ gan to grow alarmed, and demanded their money back. Miller announced that he would not pay a dollar without a week's notice. Later the house was seized and closed by the police. There , were forty employes in the office when it was seis­ ed. They were allowed to go. The po­ lice also took charge of $15,000.in cash. Miss Annie Gary, an employe, who lived in apartments adjoining the building, had $9,000 hid away in an old lounge. The daily mail received at Miller's of­ fice amounted to about three wagon loads. Nearly every letter contained money. One of Miller's trusted employes is responsi­ ble for the statement that the Franklin syndicate man had taken in over $4,000,- 000. Promoter Miller is indicted aud in hiding. He may be captured and sent to the penitentiary, but that will neither reimburse his dupes nor prevent a new crop of innocents from rushing into the snare the next time a swindler asks the privilege of making a fortune for them out of hand. •HE" IS A WOMAN. Prisoner Convicted as Ellis Glenn Is m Woman. Is a comely young woman in jail at Hillsboro, III., the Ellis Glenn, alleged forger and fugitive bridegroom, who courted Miss Ella Dukes, or is the pris­ oner Ellis Glenn's twin sister imperson­ ating him and ready to suffer the law for his sake? This question has agitated all Hillsboro. The prisoner is certainly a woman, and, it is claimed, she donned male attire to atone tor her twin broth­ er's alleged crime. Ellis Glenn, engaged to marry Miss Ella Dukes of Hillsboro, was indicted for forgery and Miss Duke's father and uncle went on his bond. He went to St. Louis a few days before the wedding day K1<1.IS GLENN," Woman who assumed disguise to shield her brother. and disappeared. It was telegraphed a St. Louis newspaper that he had been drowned at Paducah, Ivy. There he was arrested. Later he pleaded guilty and was taken to the Chester penitentiary. Then it was discovered that "he" was of the feminine gender, and she was brought back to jail at Hillsborp. The prisoner says her name is Ellis Glenn aud that her twin brother is Elbert Glenn. Her brother, she says, was a pri­ vate detective, and was in Hillsboro in the disguise of a sewing machine agent. He tied, she says, from the forgery iudict- ment, and she joined him at Paducah, Ivy., and determined to sacrifice herself for her brother, so that he might have his liberty to prove his innocence. M iss Dukes says the woman in jail is Ellis Glenn, who courted her aud won her love. The Hillsboro people say she lived with them as Ellis Glenn, man, eighteen months. The prisoner says she saw Miss Dukes but once, for five min­ utes. Miss Dukes and her father say the.v are ready to help Miss Glenn, who they knew as a man and as fntare hus­ band aud son-ii\-law. There is a growing curiosity as to how MacArthur will Dagupan out. That Chicago robl>er who travels in a buggy doesn't have to be coached on tac­ tics.

Ellis Glenn, known in Hillsboro as a handsome young man, and engaged to marry Miss Ella Dukes of Butler, was taken to Chester prison to serve a term for forgery, and upon examination prov­ ed to In? a womnn. "Glenn," who came from the East, was arrested and pleaded guilty at Hillsboro on n charge of for­ gery. It was alleged that she endeavor­ ed to obtain money on a forged note. She was sentenced to serve an indefinite pe­ riod on parole at the southern Illinois penitentiary at Chester. As there is no "ward for women at Chester "Glenn" was placed in charge of Sheriff Cassidy and sent back to Hillsboro. She was ques­ tioned closely aud the story she tells is that she came from Ohio. The offense she was sent to prison for, she says, was committed by a twin brother from whom Bhe could not l>e distinguished when in men's attire; that she met him in Padu­ cah, changing clothes with him in order that he might escape. Bank Robbers Secure Lnrge Sunt. The Exchange Bank at Troy was wrecked by sate blowers about 2:30 o'clock the other morning aud everything of value stolen. The robbers secured be­ tween $3,000 aud $5,000 in cash and stacks of bonds and other securities. Ttte men drove into town in a carriage and drove away without being molested. The noise of the explosion was heard half a mile fvom town. Every person in Troy must have heard it, yet none investigat­ ed save a doctor, who, however, did not attempt to stop the burglars. The bank building is situated on the public square on Main street. When W. W. J arris, proprietor of the bank, was notified late in the morning he caiue to town and an examination was made. From the ap­ pearance of the inside of the bank it seemed that nitroglycerin had been used by the robbers. Admits He Is 'Guilty of Arson. Fred Emmerliug, wlio !fas l>een 1h jail at Mount Carmel for several months past, was taken before Judge l'ouugblood in the. Circuit Court, where he pleaded guilty to the charge of arson. Several months since the business portion of Bell- mout was almost destroyed by a fire which originated in the store owned by George Absher. It was not long till the belief was expressed that the store vfas fired with the purpose of defrauding the insurance companies, and arrests follow­ ed. Enimorling confessed and Absher is under bond for complicity in the crime. Stabbed at a Spelling Bee. A serious cutting affray occurred at a spelling bee three miles north of Clay Center, in which Victor Mclvinney seri­ ously cut E. D. Whittington, aged 00 years, in the fate and neck.

This result was reached at a conference held in St. Louis between the national and State organizations of the United Mine Workers of North America and the mine operators of Illinois, who have been sell­ ing coal in the Missouri, Kansas nnd Ar­ kansas districts, where union turners are on a strike. Several efforts were made to effect ;i compromise bv allowing the in the affected territory, but the minors refused to agm» to anything less than their original demands.

It is expected the Legislature will promptly appropriate money for the pur­ pose, Fred Vogel of Belleville celebrated the day which was to have been his wedding day by attempting to commit suicide. He shot himself in the head, aud when found by the prospective bride was unconscious. It is not eonsidfered probable that he will- recover. Vogel was to have been mar ried to Mrs. Emma Farreuback, to whom he had l»oen engaged twelve years ago On the^day set for the first wedding he disappeared and was not seen for several years.

END OF FOOT BALL SEASON. I E R C E gridiron struggles marked the Thanksgiving day football games. Wisconsin and Chi cago, the two rec­ onciled v enemies, demonstrated their right* to stand apart as the leading teams of the middle West. And they won by almost iden­ tical scores. The _ Badgers feasted off Michigan 17 to 5 iu their first encounter since 1803, while the Maroons served up a menu of 17 to G for the Brown* Uni versity boys, whom they had never met before on the gridiron. Elsewhere the leading football games were marked by surprisingly one-sided scores. Pennsylvania, Carlisle, Iowa and California all got their opponents on the run and heaped up large scores. The Quakers by their 29 to 0 victory over Cornell calmed any exuberance the Ithsv cans may retain over the Princeton vic­ tory, and Columbia's defeat of Yale, too. looks hardly significant in view of the trouncing by the Indians. Iowa walked over Illinois easily and, except fpr its territorial remoteness, seems fit to be classed along with the championship as­ pirants of this section. California increased its newly acquired superiority over its Pacific coast rival, Stanford. Another championship was muddled by the victory of Indiana over Purdue, whieiv had tied with Notre Dame, which had downed the State Uni­ versity. The Indiana leadership is left in doubt. Beloit and Notre Dame met surprises. The P. & S. team, which has been under cover since its meeting with Chicago early in the season, took the game from Notre Dame, while Knox could only emerge with a tie in its game with Beloit. The football season of 1899 ends with­ out a champion. In the West as well as in the East there is no team that can lay undisputed claims to the champion­ ship. There are only two teams among the "big ones" which have not been de­ feated, but complications are such that their splendid records decide nothing. Harvard in the East and Chicago in the West close the season undefeated. Har­ vard was tied and so was Chicago, but nothing worse befell eitner. Princeton defeated the team that tied Harvard, but the tigers themselves were beaten ono» during the season. OA WE 3 TELLS OF BANKS* Great Increase in Deposits During the Fiscal Year. With respect to the condition of na tional banks during the year, as show& by the five reports required from the banks. Comptroller Dawes^n his annual report for the year ended Oct. 31, 1890 says: "The number of banks in operation oi Sept. 7, 1899, was 3,595, with a paid in capital of $005,772,970. The individual deposits on that date amounted to $2,- 450,725,595.31, aud the aggregate re­ sources to $4,050,355,133.44. A compari­ son of the Sept. 7 returns with thosf made on Sept. 20, 1898, indicates an in- crease during the year in individual de­ posits of $419,271,055.02;'in loans and Jscounts of $340,789,823.20; in amounts ^e from other banks and bankers, $100,- >91,890.08; iu specie, $44,097,225.44, and in aggregate resources, $040,844,088.57. On Sept. 7 the net deposit liabilities of the national banks of the country aggre­ gated $3,031,403,010.0#, on which a re­ serve of $890,508,825.90, or 29.38 per cent, was held. The composition of this reserve was as follows: Specie, $338,571,- 383.83; legal tenders and United Stateo certificates of deposit for legal tenders $127,754,051; due from reserve agents, $414,120,000.44; redemption fund witfc the treasurer of the United States, $10,- 110,130.03." In recommending to Congress improve, ments in banking laws as directed by sec tion 333 of the Revised Statute**, tin Comptrollor/before making his chief and new rcconifhendation for u boud-securcU elastic circulation, repeats his recom­ mendation of one year ago for a law pro- Tiding for an unsecured emergency cir­ culation to lessen the destructive power of fiuancial panics, and tax<nl so heavily that under normal conditions it must be retired and can neither provide profits for the banks nor serve as a basis for the ex­ pansion of commercial crtnlitls. The Comptroller believes that, iu ac­ cordance with the President's recom­ mendation, national banks should be al­ lowed to issue circulation to the par of the United States bonds deposited by them for circulation,-and that, in connec­ tion with the law authorizing this, provis­ ion can be made for a secured emergency circulation. Among other recommendations, the Comptroller strongly urges laws authoriz­ ing the incorporation of banks for. the purpose of carrying ou international and intercolon:«l banking as 'distinguished from domestic banking. He also recom­ mends laws authorizing the establishment iu small communities of national banks with a capital of $25,000. He repeats his recommendation i>f one year ago relative to a modificafiofi of the 'latv restricting loans to any one individual to 10 per cent of the capital of a national bank; and advises the attaching of a penalty for making excessive loans after the present section is modified.
