Incorporating tho agreement. Virginia
Democrats held a meeting at the same j
time, ami th? consensus of opinion .was j
for iho agreement. Democrats from j
other State.-; talked over the situation!
among themselves, and the sentiment, I
. i' far as it developed, seemed to be i
that the Democrats should pass the j
measure because of what it embraced,
rather than defeat the whole proposi?
tion bv balking on any points of omls
slcn or Inclusion that local interests
might favor.
The cbrtferences of the delegations
will continue, and meantime Secretary
of State khox and Special Agent
Charles M. Pepper, of the State De?
partment, who investigated reciprocity
m?ttors. will urge on the Republican?,
in a hearing before the House Commit?
tee on Ways and Means next Thursday,
the adoption of the agreement.
Philadelphia, Pn., February 1.?The
Most Rev. Patrick .lohn Ryan, arch?
bishop of Philadelphia, who has laid
almost, at the point of death since last
Thursday, is still alive, but. his con?
dition is extremely critical. During
the afternoon he. gave what is prob?
ably Iiis last message- to the world and
his adopted country through Cardinal
? Gibbons, who visited him In the Cathe?
dral residence.
Late to-night the archbishop's phys?
icians said that his chances of surviv?
ing the night were slender.
When Drs. LaPlace and Andrews left
the sii k room early in the night, they
stated that Archbishop Ryan's condi?
tion was very much depressed. "He is
very weak and his pulse flickers,"
I hey stated, "lie was still able to con?
verse with us, but his speech is not
nearly so Ituent as in the afternoon
when he was talking with Cardinal
Gibbons!
Cardinal Gibbons made two visits
to the dying prelate to-nay. On the
first visit the archbishop's eyes were
closed and the cardinal placed his hand j
I gently on his head saying. "Your grace j
does not know me?"
"After forty-tour years I know every
tone of Your Eminence's voice, and now
1 am. as I evct have been, profoundly!
convinced (hat you arc tlie instrument
of Providence for iho promotion of
every good tiling for our church and
country," replied the archbishop, with?
out opening his eyes. During the con?
versation the archbishop said: "If we
keep our country conservative, no coun?
try will be as great as this. No ooun
tfl has such elements of greatness as
this.*'
Following his second visit. Cardinal
Gibbons stated in an interview: "The
archbishop's mind b; still perfectly
cloar. i need not sny how much I
have been edified by bis beautiful,
pious sentiments, rejoicing in the ad?
vancement of religion in this Country
and saying that the hopes and stability
of tills nation depend upon the perma?
nence of piir,religious rnd moral princi?
ple-. The archbishop said: Mf this na?
tion is to last, it must be governed by
the !?ame principles in the. future as
in the past.' lie expressed hope Pitt
G?d will bless our much beloved coun?
try."

[JAY G?ULD TO WED ANNAGRAHAM,
DAUGHTER OF HAWAIIAN PRINCESS
New York. February 1.?At tho wod
; ding reception of Miss Vivien Could
j and Baron Docles on February 7. it Is
' planned to announce the cngaponicnt
; of Jay Gould, youngest son of George
Gould, and Miss Anna Douglas Gra
; ham. of Xo. 1"? West Sixty-.seventh
' Street The wedding will take place
in June.
Young Gould's tlancee is the daugh?
ter of Mrs Hubert Vos. wife of the
i famous portrait pain tor. By marrying
Miss Graham, Jay Could goes his sis?
ter om? better, and marries Into a royal
family instead of mere nobility. The
royal family in question is not now a
! relgninj; family. It is the royal fum
, lly of Hawaii. Mrs. Vos, Miss Gra
1 ham's mother, was before she mar
j ried Douglas Graham, the Princess
Kaikilanl.
The onttast'inciit of Jay Gould and
Miss Graham will come na a surprise
to liny but intimate friends of the |
two families because it was not Known
to society at large that an engage?
ment existed, although it has been
gossip for some mouths that young
Gould was particularly attentive to
her.
Sister Itcapoiiglhlc for the Ubhinuce.
The prospect 1 vo Lady Dccles is said
to be responsible for the new romance
In the Gould family, this last being the
third to engross public attention with?
in a year, the romance? beginning with
the betrothal <>t the eldest daughter
of the family, Majoric, n??w Mr?. An?
thony J. Drcxeli, Jr.
When the Actors' Fair tool place
at one of the booths there wa?: a bevy
of the prettiest of the younger pliis
in Now York society. At this booth
was Miss Vivlveh Gould, and. of course,
her brother became one of tho patrons
and bought largely of what was on
I sale there.
Among those hcipiiur Miss Gould to
I dispose of articles was Miss Graham,
jolliers in attendance at this booth
j were Miss lone Page and Miss Angeli?
ca Schuyler Brown, ill noted in New
! York society for wit and beauty. On
j the Hist night of the fair, .'ay Gould
j met all of those young women, but
. having met them all. he had eyes
thereafter for Miss Graham alone. 1
Mr. Gould bought whatever Miss Gra?
ham offered for sale, and did not hag?
gle about the price either. While the
fair lusted his attentions to the daugh?
ter of Hie Hawaiian princess and the
weaity Hawaiian planter and step?
daughter to tho famous 1 lolland-Amer?
ican artist were the talk of people at
j tending the fair.
Voiins: <?osilil Prospers lu Wooing.
When the fair was ovo-, .lay Gould;
who hitherto hud been le arl-whole und
fancy free, became more attentive than
ever, and wherever Miss Graham was
to be found, .lay Gould was not far
away. Soon this ardent wooing was
rewarded. and when Miss Vivian
Gould's engagement to Lord Docles
was made public, .lay Gould let the
members of hin family know of his at?
tachment.
When Jay Gould had told his family
that he Intended to marry, it was de?
cided that no announcement of the fact
be made public, because there was no
desire t<> draw the limelight away from
I he oldest unmarried sister. After a
conference of the families of those con- I
corned, tho decision was reached that
society should not be taken into the]
confidence of the young people until
the Decles-G??Td nuptials were a thing
of the past.
But soon people who knew Jay Gould
weil began to w?hd?r why It was tbat
every afternoon, promptly at r> o'clock,
be was Xo be seen going Into No. 15
West .Sixty-fourth Street, one of tbe
bent of the uptown apartment houses.
Then the news of the engagement
leaked out.
I When a reporter railed at the home
I of Miss Graham, word was sent down
by a servant that none of the family
i could be seen. When Miss Marjotio
Whit lock, ti cousin of .Miss Graham and
daughter oT Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin
Morris Whltlockj of IM West Twelfth
Stroet, was asked about the engage?
ment, she was much surprised that
anybody outside tho family connections
knew anything about it. .She said she
was not the proper person to discuss
the matter publicly.
This is tb.e second time that day
Gould has been reported engaged. Last
May It was said In Paris tbat he was
to marry Mrs. Per:trice Blanche Brunei'
Godfrey, of Davenport, Ind.. formerly
the wife of Arthur YV. Godfrey, a
wealthy lumber merchant of r>oston.
hater Mrs. Godfrey dented that there
was any foundation for this rumor,
lie's World Champion nt Tetnil*.
In addition to being son of one of
tho wealthiest men in America. Jay
Gould has a fame nil bis own. He la
tlie nrnatUor tennis champion of the
world. He began his career as a tennis
player when a student at Columbia Uni?
versity. A few years imo he went to
England to play the crack amateur;; of
that country, and his remarkable vic?
tories drew the attention of the whole
athletic world to him. In addition to
his tennis playing, ho Is a tine polo
player and an oarsman of no mean
ability.
Miss Graham inherited a large for?
tune from her father.

Ni w York. February 1.?A recent
verdict of $33,910 in favor of Springs &
?!o . .Now Yoi k cotton brokers, against
Hanover National Hank of Now York in
set aslile an.i :?. new trial ordered In
an opinion banded down to-day by
?lustice Ne\vburget\ oi the State Su?
preme GoUrt, in litigation growing out
of the presentation of drafts to which
were attached bills of lading for cotton
supposed to have been shipped from
Alabama to New York.
The statement of the facts in the
case, as given in t ho opinion, recites
(hat Knight, Yiinccy <V- <"o., of D e'?
en tu r, Ala. in the sprint; of HMO,
placed for collection with the First;
National Bank of becalm* a draft, for
$39,000 on Springs & Co. Attached to
this draft wore bills of lading and cor?
ticated of Insurance subsequently found
to be traudulent, covering a supposed
consignment of cotton by Knight, Van
coy & Go, to Springs & Co.
Tlie Hanover .National Bank pre?
sented the draft to Springs & Co., who
paid it, but later demanded that their
money he refunded, claiming that the
cotton had hot arrived, and stating
their belief that the bills of lading
and certificates wore fraudulent.
In the meantime Knight, Yaneey &
Co. became bankrupt. The Hanover
National Bank refused to refund the
$39,000 which had been placed to tho
credit of the Decatur Bank and with?
drawn, and suit was started by Springs
& Co. In ordering a new trial, Justice
Newbttrger says:
"It would appear that the decisions
of the English courts and the Supreme
Court, of the United State..! have held
uniformly that money paid upon a
draft, properly drawn, but accompanied
by forged bills of lading, when paid by
the drawee, cannot be recovered.
"It Is conceded that the defendant
(the Hanover National Bank) received
the draft; with the bills of lading and
certificates of insurance, from the First
National Bank of Decatur. who, by rea?
son of having discounted the draft, was
ii bona lido balder for value, and in
presenting to the plaintiffs and receiv?
ing payment, therefor, the. defendant
acted as the agent of the Decatur Bank.
" It. furthermore appears that neither
the defendant nor its principal had
knowledge that the bills cf lading or
certificates of insurance were forged.
The defendant's authority was simply
to collect the amount of the draft. It
did not guarantee the validity of the
collateral or that the. cotton would
be delivered.
'?it also appears that Knight, Yaneey
&. Company became bankrupt throe
weeks after the payment oy the plain?
tiffs of the draft, and live days after
the Decatur Bank hud drawn the bal
anco in the hands of the defendant, and
almost one month before the plaintiffs
notified the defendants of the non-ar?
rival of the cotton.
"For these reasons here stated, the
motion to set aside tho verdict must
be granted und a new trial ordered."
