The optimism with which wa left BU Petersburg la beginning to vanish. Tha government la not shewing a disposition to meet us half way and enter frankly on tha path of reform.

What lenda additional interest to this showing from the creditors' standpoint Is that Ira Reynolds will receive the whole of the assets visible si the present time.

The extent of her operations Is now believed to ho approxlmsiely ss follows: Secured from t'ltlaens' National bank of Oberlln and various sources in and about oountv, Ohio. PVO.nro; borrowed from Herbert D. Newton. tlsH.nnO; borr-romed from business, men in Pittsburg, toev.KO; total.

If her debt In this direction is WO.OW, the probsbUtty in sight of creditors is about one and one-fifth mills tn the dollar.

It Is not believed by eny attorneys In the case thst the Carnegie securities will lie of any account whatever. The case of Mrs. Chadwlck will tomorrow be brought before the grand Jury if Cuyahoga county. The Investigation will extend only to the alleged forgeries if the Carnegie notes, snd a report from the grand Jury Is expected Dot later than Tuesday. Not a Forgery.

It Is the pinion of sumo of the loading attorneys of Cleveland that a charge of ftrgery can not be made to bold In connection wlt'i these notea. They dcclnre It is not an act of forgery for one person to write the name of another, but the offnue tics in the attempt to use the signature for a specific alue. This, ihey sav. there la no rvloence that aim. t'hudwlrk has done.

She has not sold or attempted to sell Ule notes for rnsii. She haa not said that she Would be giu i to obtain money In exchange tor them. Khe has obtained money trora Various sources on the statement of Ira Reynolds that she, to the best nf her knowledge and belief, held securities of a eciiiiu value, and whether be provea correct or otherwise in his estimate nf the' value of the notes, there can be no doubt that Mr. lleyonlds believed what she ii There has been, according to the no evidence so far elerltcd showing that Mrs. Chadwlck obtained money these notes In any otlwr naiiner thiii; through the attoatatlon of Ira Itcvm -Ids that ho had sn the jotes ard considered them good.

It has been jatd that Mrs. Chadwlck settled R.jOuOio of thsj money she xir-owed on her hush ind three years ago. That will be a difficult thing to prove.

December 11 The principal event scheduled for the senate during the present week Is the taking of the vote ui the Philippine government bill, which is set for next Friday at 1 o'clock.

I'ndir the agreement to vote, the bill remains the unfinished business of the senate until that date, and It will have preference over nil questions in the debate, except after I o'clock each day. Many democratic senators are opposed to the bill, but the best Information obtainable Is that there will be nofenera debate on the Philippines question, aa they consider the passage of the bill a foregone conclusion. They will devote their efforts to securing a modification of some of the provisions which they regard na specially nlmoxlois, giving special attention to the bond and clauses. After the vote on the Philippines bill on Friday, the senate wilt adjourn until the fsiloKlng Monday, and It la considered doubtful m-heihtr much more business of general Importance, will be then undertaken until after Christmas, as many senators already have unced thtir Intention to leave for home Immediately after the vote on the Philippines measure. It had been the original intention of the sensto to press for an adjournment as early as the luth, but tlu're is now hinnlfcst a disposition to allow the house to have its way in fixing tha date for the Cist, even though the senate remains mechanically In session, as will be the case according to the present outlook.

It Is the Intention not to transact much business other than the Philippines legislation during the prevent week.

But Shells Are Being Thrown Into Obscured Nooks of Harbor to Locate Them.

(Associated Press Report.) Toklo. December 11. 4 p. m. The Japanese continue to batter the Port Arthur fleet and there la little ground for expecting that It wlh ever agjln engage the Japanese.

Tho battleship Sevastopol continues to anchor outside, but poss.blv returns to harbor at night and nn-Cbors Inside ihe outer boom, which pro-tecta ber from torpedo boats. The recent heavy weather has given a'd(d protection to the vessels. Naval experts aro discarding the Ule that the Russians themselves Bank any of the ahips. The fact that the vess-ls first showed lists while In exposed positions and the efforts made to r-vj the Sevastopol etc regarded as conclusive evidence against the theory that they trc being sunk by the Russians. A majority of tho sunken warships II headed northward.

They received tin bulk of the fire across their port sloes and the fact that at least two of then ahowed lists to starboard Rives rise to the theory that Jnpaneso shells explodel Inside the ships and against the starboard armor, driving the armor ootwud and causing leaks. To make sine of tho destruction of the Russian warships, the Japanese continue to drop shells Into the sunken- hulks. The whereabouts of the torpedo boat destroyers continues doubtful, but It Is thought they are sheltering outside the harbor. The weather prevents a good observation being made, but the Japanese nre sending a searching fire Into nooks which are not observable from 203-metr hill and other heights. Tha observers report a number of tugs, launchea and email craft anchored noir tha hospital shlpa In the west harbor.

In which they evidently have gone tor th purpose of obtaining protection. It la suggested that tha besiegers notify Ueutenant General 8toeasel to separate these vessels from tha hospital ahlps pear by or take the conaequencea. Tha Japaneae are exercising care to avoid hitting tha hospital ships, whioh frequently are In the dlreot line of fire. Che Too, December 11. No news from Port Arthur haa been received today.
