Who was that man to whom 1 spoke sharply in the hotel corridor when he cate the same information to any official with proper authority. Thia opportunity has now been given him and bis reply to the communication of Prosecuting Attorney Keeler uf Cleveland, which was sent last night, waa awaitud with considerable interest. Mr. Keeler's message not only asks Mr. Carnegie if he signed ihe three notes, one of which calls for 9250,0Oq and the other two fur 9500,000 each, but ir he will go to Ohio if necessary to testify that lie did not. The strangest feature of the mystery hss been tbe uwe of the name of Mr. Carnegie. What reaiam was olfcieJ to explain why Mr. Carnegie, who has an income of more than 910.tMM.0UO a year from United Slates Steel bonds alone, should be giving notes, has not been brought out. j Prohably not in the history of the) United States haa there been an thing j similar iu unusual circumstances and magnitude to the Chadwick burrow inga. It ia known by the statement of President neck with of the failed Citizen National Bank of ttberlin. that notes fur at Iriuit $1,250.(1110 endorsed hy Mrs. Chadwick are uutstanditig; the nceur-- it ire said to be held by Iri Remolds of Cleveland figure to the extent uf Herbert D; Newton nf Boston haa claims fur $19(Mk), and today It was asserted bv those ronvemant with the strange case that a number of Sinks not yet mentioned in public, bsd made large loans to Mrs Chad wick. Mrs. Chadwick's sun, Emil. this morning sent a cablegram lo Paris. He would not.disrloae the name of the person to wbum the message was address- d ed. A few minutes before 9 o'clock Mrs. Chadwick came down from her apartment and prepared for the journey in tbe federal building.

With the arraignment of Mr. Chadwick before railed Slate roiuuiitfsiuin-- r on a technical charge of aiding au embezzlement. the stage in tlii remark bio cave wa begun. It seem almost certain that these proceedings ultimately will result in clearing away the niyatery in which the case has been shrouded. Mrs. Chadwick, who had been permitted to remain at the Hotel Brealin during the night, a roe early today and told the United States marshal she was ready to accompany hint. She aaiU that she felt somewhat better than last liijtht when the shock of her arrest lisd almost prostrated her, and she saw no reason tn delay the detectives fun her. A carriage was called and the party started shortly before 9 o'clock for the federal building. Today practically all interest in the case was centered in conjecture aa to what the futnre will reveal. Men who profess to have aa intimate knowledge of the affaire of the woman, have hinted that only a suggestion of the real cane has yet become public. one men is credited with the statement that time will show this to be the most stupendous and far reaching rase of its kind in many years. Already the country has been startled by the that have followed one after another in quick succession. The known iudeLednesa has grown from less than 1200.000 to more than a million, and her counsel has said that claims against her may amount to twenty millions for all he knows. The validity of some of the claims, however, said her attorney, waa another matter. In the same period at least two banka have taken final cognisance uf the case and federal officers have taken it upon themselves to Investigate the validity of notes aggregating more than a million dollars, which bear the name of Andrew Carne- J fore the investigation is finished.

The greatest crowds on tbe floor were around the Amalgamated Copper and L S. Steel trading poats. The shouta of the brokers rose in m confused din to tbe gallery. To thia nuise waa added the ringing of countless telephone bells in the private booths of the brokers at tbe west cud of the floor and the scurrying In ever direction of scores of messengers, ll was observed that many prominent brokers who seldom appear on the floor were there today. In tbe excitement they evidently deemed it advisable to handle their own business instead of distributing orders, as ia often done. Sentiment was bearish from the outset. Before the opening it waa known that Boston had sent in heavy selling orders in Amalgamated, also that the leading wire, or commission bouses, were ou the abort side. From all accounts the break in tbe first hour was largely due U forced liquidation. There is no doubt that many accounts were thrown over without regard to prices. Boston was reported to have sold over 45.000 shares of copper in the first few minutes and the break caused by these heavy offerings brought a flood of selling orders in this and other slocks, chiefly Industrial. to all parts of the room.
