The manifesto closes as follows: "The parties represented here will unite their efforts for the purpose of hastening the inevitable fall of absolutism." XL Jaurcs says that the uniting of the opposition parties is part of the move ment for the adoption of a democratic in stitution in Russia, which, he declares, will be the most Important historical achievement since tho French Revolution.

The notes he refers to do not represent bonuses. The settlement is upon our full claim of 5190.800." Mr. xtyall further said that Mr. Newton was In conference with his own attorneys ( today, but no one representing him held' any conference with Mrs. Chadwlck or her attorneys. Mr. Newton and Mr. Carver returned to Boston this afternoon. That all the legitimate claims against Mrs. Chadwlck will be met is the state ment made by her attorneys, but at the same time they decline to say anything as to the source from which the neces sary funds will be obtained. They would not discuss the value of the securities said to be in the posses sion of Ira Reynolds, treasurer of the Wade-Park Banking Company, of Cleveland, or. In fact, any of tho indi vidual features of the case. The set tlement of the Newton claim when made will reduce Mrs. Chadwick's al leged obligations by flSO.SOO. At the same time, however, there remain claims aggre gating at least $800,000. Edmund W. W. "Powers, counsel for Mrs. Chadwlck. made a statement regarding the case this afternoon. He said the total indebtedness to Mr. Newton was approxi mately $190,000. Of this he said $78,000 was money actually owed and due, $53,000 was due on bonuses to be paid for accommo dation, and $5000 was owed on two notes. of $25,000 each, which would not mature for a year. vara. Chadwlck has ample money to meet her debts," said Mr. Powers. "She has over $1,000,000 In her own right. It Is true that she paid over to her husband $2,500,000 some time ago, but had enough to meet all of her debts, which total about $500,000. "Mrs. Chadwick's personal statement will not be ready until Saturday," he said. "She is now working on It, and will have It ready then." A story was current late today that Mrs. Chadwlck drove from the Holland House to the Central Trust building In Wall street this afternoon, where she remained several hours In the law offices of Butler, Nolman, Joline & Mynderse. Mr. Jollne, of this firm, is attorney for Andrew Carnegie. Mr. Joline disclaimed any knowledge of airs. Chadwick's presence and declined to make any statement regarding her. Other members of the firm also declined to make any comment. Trial of Case at Cleveland Postponed. CLEVELAND. O., Dec 1. The re ceivership case brought by Herbert D.

Pe ter Nlssen, who started across Lake Michigan in his boat, "Foolklller No 3," was found dead on the "beach, two and a half miles west of here today. Nissen is supposed to have, been wash ed ashore during the nighti His "Fool killer" was about 20 rods down the beach from the body and was much damaged. A life-preserver and his overcoat were fastened to the basket shaped car in the boat. The body was brought tp Stevensvllle, where It lies in the town hall. The hands and face arc frozen and .the features reflect his suffering. The clothing on the body was somewhat torn. It is thought that Nlssen could not have been dead a great while when tho body was found, as mortification had not set in. The body was found by Mrs. Collier, who lives on a farm near the lake shore. Nissen's employer was notified as soon as word was received here that the body had been found and a Coro ner's Jury was Impaneled and began an inquest. Men have gone from hero to bring in the wrecked "Foolklller No. 3." It Is almost certain that Nissen prac tically reached shore alive yesterdf about 4 o'clock, after ho had been out of Chicago 24 hours. The "Foolklller No. 3" was then seen about 200 rods from shore off Livingston, six miles south of Stevensvllle. A heavy gale was blowing and It Is presumed he was unable to land and was probably tossed about up shore all night. It is believed that Nissen was either unconscious or so thoroughly chilled that he was unable to save himself when the "Foolklller" finally collapsed and that he was drowned. When the wrecked aquatic balloon was examined, one of Nissen's business cards was found, on the back of which was a note, from the dead adventurer saying an air hose, upon which he depended to renew his supply of air, had broken, and he was doomed to die of suffocation. It Is believed here that Nissen was aliv'i when his boat first touched ths eastern shore of the lake . His wrecked boat was lato today hauled into Stevensvllle and a Coroner's Jury was Impaneled. The Inquest was adjourned for further inves ligation. PORTLAND BOY DID GOOD WORK AGAINST COLORADO TEAM. . Chalmers and Stott on Next Year's Stanford Team, With Fenton as Substitute Quarter.

In the game with Colorado, although thrA rpcrular men were mlsslntr from ' the line-up, the- team played the florc est game of the season. kAl Trow bridge, of Portland, who was substi tutine at half for Chalmers, played the star game. On defensive he was a whirlwind and on jthe offensive ne bucked tho opposing' line and ran the ends ror long gams, ne mane two oi thf flvA touchdowns, one of them after a sensational run of 30 yards through a scattered field. Ho also did excel lent work In kicking goals. "Stump" Stott took Bausbach8 place at quarter when the "latter was Injured and as In the Calirornia game provea Wmc.lf n Trnrthv KtierftRSOI. He not only ran the team ably but did soma of the most sensational bacKiieid worn ever seen on a Colorado gridiron.
