The extreme reticence of all those concerned serves only to shrond the matter with mystery, and it was impossible last rnight to obtain any comprehensive estimate of the financial condition of the firm, though the opinion generally expressed was that the balance will be found on the right side of the ledger when the receiver concludes his labors. Three attachments against the firm for claims aggregating $102,080 were entered in Philadelphia yesterday. Mayor In DifBcnlty. President Asfcs the Secretaries to Serve Another Term.

Ex-Mayor Strong died on Nov. 2. It was said in the wholesale dry goods district yesterday afternoon that the affairs of the firm bad been in a complicated state for more than three months. Some asserted that anxiety for the reputation of the firm he had expected to leave as a monument to his business integrity and sagacity had hastened Colonel Strong's death. Mr. Van Sickle has not been at his office for a week. At bis home, 857 South Broad street, Elizabeth, N. J., his wife said yesterday afternoon that her husband had told her five day* ago that the other members of the firm had accused him of irregularities in the business of the house and that she had advisad him to engage counsel and fight. Relatives of Mr. Van Sickle at his home admitted, after 10 o'clock last night, that he was in Elisabeth and that Mrs. Van was with him at the house of n friend, but that where they were would not be told. Frank Bergeu. attorney for Mr. Van Sickle, says that all that will be said about the entire Grant Bros*, affair, so far as his client is concerned, will be given out through him. Detective Vallely and another detective fropi headquarters reached Elisabeth late last night, but would not tell the object of their mission. I A dispatch to The Times from hang* hal says there is considerable inte* st in l.'len-tsin concerning the whereabout of the Japanese forces, which, although not leaving the country, are disappearing from Tien-tsin and Peking. It is not known where they have gone. The proceeding sets forth the wishes of the president in the matter and relieves members of the cabinet of the customary obligation of tendering their resignations at the end of the term unless they have made tin irrevocable decision that it will impossible for them to continue in office. It also sets at rest all speculation and sfatemaking of the country's political prophets, for it is understood generally that there is but one doubtful faotor in*'.he homogeneity of the present cabinet. That factor is Attorney General Griggs, as he hohis his present position fct a gr*at financial sacrifice. Still, Afr. Griggs replied in terms of warm appreciation to the complimentary remarks of the president and voiced no intention of retirtng from his present position.Twelve Killed ana Many Injured In an Accident at a Bull Fight.

Ife said that if the result of the recent! election was an indorsement of his administration it was nb less an indorsement of the men who had stood by him in the time of stress and necessity. The credit for success, he said, lay with the heads of the various departments, and he should shrink from entering upon another four years of office unless he could be assured that hp would have with him a majority at least of the men who form* his present official household, Dr. 'Flood Charged With Forgery In Klmira, N.

I am informed that I will soon come Into possession of a fortune estimated at from $400,000 to $500,000.

The extreme reticence of all those concerned serves only to shrond the matter with mystery, and it was impossible last rnight to obtain any comprehensive estimate of the financial condition of the firm, though the opinion generally expressed was that the balance will be found on the right side of the ledger when the receiver concludes his labors. Three attachments against the firm for claims aggregating $102,080 were entered in Philadelphia yesterday. Mayor In DifBcnlty. President Asfcs the Secretaries to Serve Another Term.

Van Sick!*, a member of the firm, who, according to one report, had operated in collusion with a former employee. A dispatch to The Standard from Shanghai says that Sir Robert Hart, director of the Chinese imperial maritime customs, has been appointed to arrange with the ministera at Peking the amount of the indemnity to be paid by China and the method of payment. llaseena, N.

Ex-Mayor Strong died on Nov. 2. It was said in the wholesale dry goods district yesterday afternoon that the affairs of the firm bad been in a complicated state for more than three months. Some asserted that anxiety for the reputation of the firm he had expected to leave as a monument to his business integrity and sagacity had hastened Colonel Strong's death. Mr. Van Sickle has not been at his office for a week. At bis home, 857 South Broad street, Elizabeth, N. J., his wife said yesterday afternoon that her husband had told her five day* ago that the other members of the firm had accused him of irregularities in the business of the house and that she had advisad him to engage counsel and fight. Relatives of Mr. Van Sickle at his home admitted, after 10 o'clock last night, that he was in Elisabeth and that Mrs. Van was with him at the house of n friend, but that where they were would not be told. Frank Bergeu. attorney for Mr. Van Sickle, says that all that will be said about the entire Grant Bros*, affair, so far as his client is concerned, will be given out through him. Detective Vallely and another detective fropi headquarters reached Elisabeth late last night, but would not tell the object of their mission. I A dispatch to The Times from hang* hal says there is considerable inte* st in l.'len-tsin concerning the whereabout of the Japanese forces, which, although not leaving the country, are disappearing from Tien-tsin and Peking. It is not known where they have gone. The proceeding sets forth the wishes of the president in the matter and relieves members of the cabinet of the customary obligation of tendering their resignations at the end of the term unless they have made tin irrevocable decision that it will impossible for them to continue in office. It also sets at rest all speculation and sfatemaking of the country's political prophets, for it is understood generally that there is but one doubtful faotor in*'.he homogeneity of the present cabinet. That factor is Attorney General Griggs, as he hohis his present position fct a gr*at financial sacrifice. Still, Afr.

Ife said that if the result of the recent! election was an indorsement of his administration it was nb less an indorsement of the men who had stood by him in the time of stress and necessity.

I am informed that I will soon come Into possession of a fortune estimated at from $400,000 to $500,000. The facts ar« that my father's brother, Jacob Asher, who was a wild fellow, had trouble with the family in England and ran away to Jamaica, Indies. He accumulated a fortune there.
