Scores Party Opponents. A SPEECH CHARACTERISTIC OF THE AUTOCRATIC EX-8PEAKER. Hie Doubted the Wisdom of the House to Deal Satistactorily With the Question Before It-Protection a Fraud and Revenue Tariff a Virtue—Manufactur- ere at the Bottom of the Financial Depression — Proceedings in House and Senate—Gossip. Wasnincror, Aug. 26.—The galleries of the House were full of spectators this morning Defore the hour of meeting, attracted by the announcement that the last day of the gr@at sliver debate was to be signalized by a Dat- tie of the oratorical giants of the House. The chaplain in his opening prayer asked God's g on the closing hours of this long de- bate, His closing words were: **Thou hast already sent thy blessing, for it has been conducted with a mild,;Christian- like spirit. May nothing occurto mar that Spirit as the debate comes to its close. And, we beseech thee, whatever may bethe result Of it, that result may pfove a lasting benefit to the largest number of thy people. The Speaker announced the order of the Gay's proceedings. Under the hour rule, he Said, the time in favor of the bill would close With the member from West Virginia, Mr. Wilson, and the time in opposition to it by the member from Missouri, Mr. Bland. The first thirty minutes was assigned by Mr. Wien to Mr. Clarke (Dem.) of Missouri. He believed it the duty of Congress to fix the ratio at n to 1. In his opinion there was no Gifference in the ability of the country to carry out silver coinage between a 16 toland aWtoiratio. If we could doit witha ratio, of 0 to 1. still he would not cast a vote that would paralyze or continue the paralysis of industry all through the country andin his section. [Applause on the floor.] There was no question about the necessity of immedl- ate action to restore confidence. The trouble was thought to be due to the policy of pur- chasing silver under the Sherman law and, whether that dellef was cor- rect or not, he would vote to re- peal that law. [Applause.] He would do anything that would restore contwence. At this point he was interrupted by : yues- tion from Mr. Biand of Missouri, but de- clined to be divertea from the line of his argument, saying that Mr. Bland would have his own time to speak. We are, he said, nothing more in repealing this law ng it out in order to relieve the n the immediate distress n nem, and to give to the Democratic the opportunity and the leisure on due refiection to revise the whole financial system ofthe country. And he had the most supreme ce that it will Go so on wise lines. Mr. Clark’s time was called at 10:30 o’clock and the floor was resigned to Mr. Reed (Rep.) + * * . . 0 * * * * of Maine. The House came toa sudden and complete condition of quietude as Mr. Reed stood up the most easterly aisle on the Republican side ofthe chamber and began to address the House in strong, slow, measured tones. In begianing his speech Mr. Reed eonfessed doubte of the wisdom of tne House to deal satisfac- torily with the question before it, but expressed his comfort at being able to fall back upon the well es- tablished beliefin the wisdom of the aesisions of Congress. Crises like the present, he said, were the inseperable accompaniment of all human prog- ress, which is a series of upward starts and of falle of aimost proportionate length. The former may be characterized ina word—‘‘confidence;’’ the latter in another word—‘‘distrust.’’ These fluctuations occur almost simultaneousiy, always sympatheti- cally the world over, so closely is business allied b the telegraph amd railroad. Because the fact tthe drain of gold fromtne United States since the sage of the Sherman law in 1890 carried ont of the country an amount equaito the value of the purchases of silver under the law, people saw in it the cause of the loss of gold. and distrust was en- gendered, and a season of hoarding and depression set in, and to-day the country ts suffering all the calamities ofa rr — circulation in tae midst of an abundanteuppiy of money. This, then, continued Mr. Keed, at the present ent is the situation in which we find ourselves heve, in thus narrating the outward circum>tances whieh have attended our present ition, failed to state fuly what is, afterall, aeoording to my juag- ment, the undeylying cause of the present condition of affairs. At the last election the Democratic rty was brought into power by a curious combina- on of ciroumsetances, as the result of a hundred causes, not with careful and candid deliberation, but as the result, in a large measure, of the apathy of the erican — The vote shows what I deciare, and the recolleetion of every individuai to whoml am «6 ng can be safely appealed to. W hile this thing has not been specially manifested Guring thie discussion, while there has been little talk with regard to it, nevertheless, the conscious- ness of this fact underlies our entire situatien. Ido not intend in ateding te this fact to iu any way re- fer to party politics. do not undertake to raise any question as to whether the system of pro- isa Wiee one or not.

At et the present moment no man can now what will be the result of the action of this u the manufactures of this country. Ifthe re tion of the tariff were in the hands even of ite friends; if a change in the tariff were con @mep who are ia favor of the peil ple of protection instead of the hands of those ho denounee it, I should feel entirely confident thet business would not be stagnant or remain ata stand ; but when this reformation of the tariff is in ie baud of men opposed tothe present system, those manufactures of the country which are built present sys must necessarily call a ood our manufacturers wake rod auction is upon a erently rewarded, r in this country 6 — an Snowe the to u ep uc- Soul that question is thatthe manufacturers of for do net want to contuse unfortusate parts of the Democ programme. which ere at present in abeyance, like the establish- ment of 8 oks and other Anencial measures, which we may possibly have to le wi I can Gharectorise, in a single 232 e@ cause of the eon- ition of affaires.

It could not be expected that they would change their mature in the twinkling of an eye. Elections might put them into power, but only the lapse of time can five them the oper sense ef responsibility. Thetime will come when the Democratic members of Congress, instead of disputing with each other what the Democratic platform means, wil! be disputing with each other 7 * the necessities o n as they have relied upon them in the in the direction of sound government, of responsibility and of honest administration of af- fairs. Iam so that we have not been permitted to exhibit our wisdom in the way of amend- ments: that we have not been allewea to take the vote of the House as to the various prepositions to meet Shis affair, whick wonld seem satisfactory to us. We are confined to those propositions, whieh the whole Democratic party have finally determined tosubmittous. I shall spend no time in pointing out the centrast between this action on the part of the Democratic party and their ciaims during the Fifty-first Congress. I shall waste no time in cita- tiens showing how the rights of the minority are outraged, aceording to them; forl — 1 — now, as I recognized then, the necessity and daty of the party in power assuming the responsibility of its actions. lam only sorry that this question cannot be settied and settied n within the bounds of the Democratic party itself: but as 1 knew and as every man in the country Knows, the majority of the Democratic party would decide against the good sense of the nation. Passing then to the consideration of the question of repeai. Mr. Reed said that while he was in favor of it, he did not think it would be an immediate cause of the revival of the prosperity of the country. Nevertheless he would vote for repeal for two reasons. First, because, whether justly or not, the Sherman law is beileved to be the cause of the un- reasonable hearding of currency throughout the country. Im thie connection Mr. Reed paid a com- 2 tothe managers of the banks generally, say- ng that in his judgment they were doing an 2 able and patriotic work and were the mainstay o! the country against faliure and future disaster. The second reason was that only by repeal could tre nation hope to attract fereign capital, without it being vain to * for an upward turn of the eoun- try business. ® must put ourselves, heseid, ina position when the time comes to be able to command the capital of the world, which shal! assist us on the path to the mext period of prosperity and progress. Mr. Reed paid bis respects to the objection that the proposed repeal was a renewed demonetization of silverand eheracterized the charge that the law of 18738 wasa triek as one of the most stupendous fabrications which has ever existed in political life.” If there were any appreciable difference in the value of the two metais, even as muchas 2 or 3 per dont ine cheaper would drive out the ether, as tne history of the United States showed. Upon the as- sertion that the repeal of the Sherman law would increase the burden of the borrower, Mr. Reed said there will always be a borrowing and lending worid, and itis of the first importance, not less to the bor- rowers than to the lenders, that the laws on this subject be made ina spirit of fairness and justice to both clasees. In conelusion, Mr. Reed said: What, then, isthe pathway ofauty? The uneonditional repeal. That will either give relief or not. It not, then we must try something else, and the sooner the better. Itis a matter of deep regret to all sensible men that we have delayed solong. We are to-day struggling al- most against fate and prayingforrelief, The banks are strained almost tothe point of breaking. It is such a pity that we had to waste so mach time in this weary talk. Westand in a very peculiar positien— we Republicans to-day. The representative of the Democratic party, — chosen President of the United States, finds himself powerless io his first reat recommendation to hisown party. eftte their tender mercies the country would witness the spectacie of the President of ite choice overthrown by the party charged with this country’s government. What wender then that he appeals to the patriotism of another party whose patriotism has never been appealed to in vain? dover, Ieay,in vain. The proudest part ot the proud record of the Republican party has been ite stead fast devotion to the cause of sound finance. When the country was tempted to pay its bonds in Geprectated money the Repabiteen party responded with loud acclaim to that movie sentiment of Gen. Hawley, that every bond wae as sacred as a soldier's grave. It cost us hard fighting and sore struggle. ut the credit of this country nas no superior in the world. When the same arguments heard to- day were heard fifteen years ago, sounding the praises of a depreciated currency and proclaiming the giories of fat money, the party of Abraham Lineoln marched steadily toward specie payment and prosperity. What we were in our days of victory we are in our days of defeat—champions of true and solid finance—and when the day comes, as It surely will come, for us to lead this land back to the pathe of prosperity and fame which were trodden under Republican rule for so many years, we shall take back with us our ancient glory, undimmed by adversity, our aneient honor unsullied by defeat. When that part of the speech was reached which treats of the threats of the Democratic party to interfere with the tariff and when Mr. Reed declared it as a fact that the Chair man ofthe Committee on Ways and Means did not Know to-day what he meant fora tariff—although his predecessor probably would—the humor of the thing was caught up and there were shouts of laughter on the floor andin the galleries. Then there was applause on the Republican side of the Chamber when he declared that the efforts of the Democrats would be, not pieced out, but made whole by the patriotism of the Re- publican party. He was very impressive and made a marked impression on the aud- lence when, in speaking Of the banks, he declared his belief that they were — at this moment as thoroughly patriotic a duty as any man he saw in front ot him. They were the mainstay of the country at this time. Mr. Reed's closing words were received with a prolonged outburst of applause, and his declaration that the Republican party even in defeat, clung to its high principles of morality, threw the Republicans into spasms of the wildest enthusiasm. He was followed by Mr. D’ Armond (Dem.) of Missouri, who proceeded to make a speech (in Mr. Bland's time) in opposition to uncon- ditional repeal, Mr. D' Armond was opposed torepeal and in favor of free coinage, and he indulged. in criticisms upon the Secretary of the Treas- ury. Asa Democrat he (Mr. D’Armond) saw with shame and mortification that the giant intellect of Secretary Carlisie went no higher than to copy and follow the ruinous financial policy of his predecessor, Had the Sherman law been properly executed 1 would have been maintained. He did not bo- lieve the story that was published that the venerable solons at the other side of the capitol had agreed to sur- render the tariff reform sition if they could pass the repoal bill. ut it might be that some such arrangement had been made be- tween Democrats and Republicans, whereby tariff reform should be dropped, but for one. as a Democrat, he would protest and continue to protest aeainst that course. He did not wish to drag sectionalism into this debate, but he called attention to the fact that on one side of this question were the representatives of aggregate Fastern wealth, backed by the wealthy classes on the other side of the water, and on the other side — the tolling masses of the South and ‘est. Mr. Williams (Dem.) of Illinois opposed re- peal and contended that th® Sherman law was not responsible for the present panic, although that panic was the legitimate off- spring of the Republican party. But to ** the Sherman act would be to break the last link of the chain that bound goid and silver together, The people of the Democratic party were in favor of the re l of the Sherman law by the enactmeat in lieu thereof of the Bland-Allison bill. They ex- pected that, and he for one would not dis- appoint them. He was a believer in the ‘*Repeal the Sherman law and go The tariff must and ought to be re- tormed Mr. Allen said that unlike most ot the gen- tlemen who had addressed the House on this important question, and who had disclaimed being financiers or partisans, he was both. [Laughter.) He had made the question of currency a study for more than forty years. But he was notone of those financiers who were responsible stringency. He had kept in circulation. ey about 9% percent of his business on but he did not think that was a for his creditors were clamoring for him to do something to restore confidence.

Why, in fact, in a conversation with Mr. Patterson of see they had agreed unanimously they had done more than any other men drin about the election of Grover Cleveland. Cleveland was elected because he was known to have backbone and the coura of his convictions. He (Mr. Allen) would like to know (and this sentence Mr. en drawied out) what the President would think of some of the gentlemen of this House. [Loud laughter and applause. ] It had been said bya gentleman from New York (Mr. Cummings) that the South had nominated Mr. Cleveland and should now support him. The South had elected Cleve- land, but it had also elected its members to this House. It might not be a bad idea to pass a bill to ro- store the parity between the, Executive and legisiative branches of the Government, [Laughter and cheers.|; Knowing the Presi- dent, as he did [laughter], he could pay that official no higher compliment than to doin his individual capacity, as a member of this House, just what the dictates of his conscience directed him to do, He was sure that in following that course he would meet with the President’s approval. If not, he would have to take back a thousand good things he had said about Grover Cleveland. [Laughter and ap- plause. | Atl p. m. Mr. Bourke Cockran (Dem., New York) took the floor and addressed the House. Mr. Cockran said in opening that after listen- ing to the speech of the gentleman who had just taken his seat everyone would admit that the arguments in favor of the free coinage of silver were picturesque rather than convincing. He agreed with the gentleman from Michigan that when Congress adjourned last March the country was prosperous in every respect, while now the gaunt specter of starvation was stalking abroad through the land. The remedy for this condition of things ought to be sought for, free from any spirit of partisan- ship. He could not agree with the gentleman from Maine that these periods of deprssion were inseparable from the ad- vancemeant of civilization; but that each was due toa specific cause which might Be read- lily discovered. Mr. Cockran said that the platform of the Democratic party did not declare for free colnage of silver; tnat an attempt was made in the convention by a delegate from Colorado to commit the party to that principle, buc failed to secure ten votes on the floor of the convention in support of the proposition. „„We are told,“ said Mr. Vockran, ‘‘by Colorado and Nevada that we are in this matter departing from the platform. If that is the case, why did those States take to the woods in the election of 1892. It was because those States abandoned the deciarations of the Democratic platform that the yentleman from Colorado (Mr, Pence) who had often entertained his associ- ates on the floor, was added to the membDer- ship of the House. Mr. Cockran said that in regard to this question he stood upon the Democratic platform with both feet and it was those who differed from hin that were trying to push him off. 1 took part in the deliberations of the Democratic ‘onven- tion,’’ said Mr. Cockran, whereupon a good-natured laugh went around the tiouse, ‘tand the good humor occasioned Dy that remark leads me to observe that I know with what emphasis the Democratic party sits upon any person who attempts to interfere with its operations.’’ Mr. Cockran devoted himself toa histor- ical resume of faanciai legislation, and as- serted that there was no instance in the his- tory of civilization where gold and silver ever circulated side by side at any ratio. It was impossible that they should do so, and he defledtbe gentieman from Missouri (Mr. Bland) to name an exception. The flucta- ations of the values of the two coins were sufficient to constantly drive out the dearer metal and this, said Mr. Cockran, was the in- evitable result. France was compelled to lupport $600,000,0000f gold to maintain the parity of the silver which she colned. That was what the United States would have to do ifitdesired to maintain the parity of the silver we have coined. Referring to the assertion in the recen speech Of the gentleman from Nebraata tur. Bryan) that sliver was stili the basis of value Ot the farmers’ products, Mr. Cockran in- quired, It that be so, why do you not give him the full value of it? Yon would give the farmer 871% grains of pure sil- ver while I should give him 6514 grains. Do these gentiemen fear that silver will have the same effect upon the human race as alcohol; that while a little of itisaptto stimulate, too much will stupefy and destroy?!“ {Laughter.| The debasement of the coin proposed, Mr. Cockran said, would have the result of reducing debits to the amount of 45 per cent. she gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Bryan) assumed ‘that the loss would fail on the banks. But the fact was that in the very nature of things the banks and corporations are the debtors of the country and the work- ingmen are the creditors. *‘Gentlemen tell us that gold has depreciated. Ideny it,“ said Mr. Coc kran. The Aldrich report shows that never beforein the history of the world did the laboring man of America receive so much in gold for his labor. [UCheers.}] But the gen- tleman from Nebraska and the gentleman from Missouri propose by their plans to make the bankers of New York alone a present of 521,000, 000 f in“ the settlement of accounts with their depositors and to de- prive the laboring man of 16 per cent of the value of his wor. Mr. Bryan: ‘‘Will the gentleman k«indly say bow it is, if his statements respecting the gentleman from Missouri and myself are true, thatthe banks of New York denounce us and ‘Terrence V. Powderly is with us?’’ Applause. | Mr. Cockran: It is be- would be a the peo the nae’ rivate „Iwill answer. ‘Cause the bankers of New York have learned atin business and palities alike, the best policy.’’ [Applause. ] Continuing Mr. Cockran said the trouble in this country was not due tothe lack of money, but to lack of redundancy of money. Money was not wealth; it was the machinery with which trade is worked. honesty — . —— CONGRESSIONAL GOSSIP. Echoes of Mr. Hill’s Spsech Still Heara— The Vote on Repeal. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 26.—The echoes of Mr. Hill’sspeechinthe Senate yesterday are still heard in Congress—not yet drowned in the reverberations of to-day’s great de- bate. The New York Senator’s confident prediction that the Sherman law will be re- pealed, that the Senate Will respect itself and will not filibuster on such an issue is qualified by many Senators, who think the same way, by the statement that any meas- ure ofrepeal to pass successfully through the Senate must be accompanied by a dec- laration in favor of bimetallism. Mr. Hill himself gave utterance to this sentiment when he said it wasin his opinion ‘‘all im- portant that the repeal bDillshould itself de- clare in general terms what the future finan. cial policy of this Government is desired or intended to be. The prevailing impression as to the proba- ble action of the two Houses finds expression as follows: The vote on the Wilson repeal bill Will ve takes on Monday in the House and the silver purchase clause of the Sher- man law, as far as that body is concerned will be wiped out of existence. The 111 will then go to the Senate, where it will be re- ferred to the Finance Committee, which will promptly pigeonhole it. The Senate wl gO right straight along talking silver, as it has been doing for several days. It will do this fortwo weeks and probably longer before the final vote will be taken. The hill which will be passed will be the Voorhees pj}! not the Wilson bill from the House, which’ will slumber quietly intheroom of the Finance Committee. Ihen the Voorhees bill will go over tothe House. There it will doubtless be acted on with little delay, thou gh there may be another flood of oratory, because as there is some differences between the Senate and House measures, the silver men may in- sist upon some talk. If these is a prospect of a contest, however, cloture Will Speedll applied and the bill will be passed and wi then be ready forthe President’s signature. 5 differs from the Ing a deci of bimetallism. * aration in favor Kepubiicans of the Senate propose to push the investigation tato the right of Mr. Martin to hold his seat as a Sen- from the State of Kansas with all - - Under the resolution intro- Ar.

To-day some of the persons interested went out to the northern suburbs to sub- stantiate the statement that Mrs. Blood was within reach, and there was considerable conjecture as to whether steps would be taken to cause Mrs. Blooa’s arrest. No warrants had deen issued, and when a Post-DISPaTCH reporter asked Frank J. O'Reilly, attorney for Mrs. Casar- ine Formoz, if he had heard that Mrs. Blood had been located. He said that he bad, but that he had not applied for a warrant. Other lawyers were inclined to proceed at once to place the secretary behind the bars, and endeavorto make her disgorge if she has retained any ofthe money or property which belonged to the association. a MINUTE AND CASH BOOKS FOUND. Receiver Joseph P. Whyte was notified this books of the association had been found and would be delivered to him, G. W. Heimburger reported that he rad them ana had concluded to surrender them in order to facilitate the receiver in straightening ott the affairs of the associa- tion. The minute book will not be very ser- viceable in this direction, as it contains not a single entry. and the cash book of course reveals no details of transactions. Mr. Heimburger is an architect, who has his office at 418% Olive street. He did some work for Mrs. Blood and was a director of the association. He disclaims any knowl- edge of the detalls of Mrs. Blood’s transac- tions and says the books were sent to him to be turned over to the receiver. The recovered books reached Mr. Heim- burger through Mrs. Phoebe Copp, a sister of Mrs. Blood, who called at Mrs. Copp’s rest. Gence last Tuesday, the day before her de- parture, and left the books, with the request that they be forwarded to Mr. Heimburger. A RELATIVE’S EXPERIENCE. John Green, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Blood, called upon Receiver Whyte to-day and discussed the affair. He is much averse to being mentioned in connection with the defaulting Secretary, as neither he nor his family counte- nanced her transactions. ‘Mr. Green on last Tuesday denounced his sister-in-law on the Post-office steps. She approached him and said that she wanted him to go with her to a notary public, and swear that he was a single man, as she desired to trans- fer some property to him, Her object was to so involve Green that if there shoula be any trouble about getting the property back she would have the whip hand ofhim. Greenthen denounced her and told her to go get her negro, who did that kind of work for her, and deed him her property. Lawyer Dalton, who is managing Mrs. Katherine Diebing’s case against the associa- tion, was asked this afternoon if he had applied fora warrant for Mrs. Blood’s ar- rest, and saidthat hehad taken no such step. Healso expressed a doubt of the cor- rectness of the statement that Mrs. Blood is still in the city. FORCED TO ASSIGN. Stevens 4 Schureman, Carriage Manu- facturers, Fail. Stevens & Schureman, dealers in carriages, harness and agricultural implements, made a general assignment to-day to Louis B. Tebbetts of the firm of Mansur, Tebbetts & Co.

Mr. Tebbetts said he knew nothing ofthe affairs of the company, although he knew some of the creditors, whom he did not think it advisable to name. THE NEWBY CASE.

The followidg was received by several St. Louis banks from the First National Bank of Chicago: To Our Correspondents: N It ie daily evident to us that some of our corre- spondents do not fully unterstand why Chicago danke cannot take drafts on New York, or other Fastern ana credit them in account „ as was, in a general way, the rule before the present financial complications. For abetter understanding of the matter we submit the following: Chicago banks are paying currency. The banks in New York and some of the other larger Fastern cities are practically paring no currency now, bat checks on em, when resented at their ceunters, are certified, *‘Good threugh the Clearing-house ome lu these Clearing-housesa balances are set- tled by ‘‘certificates.’’ oney in New York com- mands a premium over bank checks of from 1% to 2 per cent (as high as 2 per cent has been peta.) It is therefore evident that unless nicago banks can and will sell drafts on Mew York ate discount about equal te the premium paid on money there, no will buy them. n the coatrary, parties here having large remittances or payments to make there, will draw cash, send it to New York sell it at a premiam for bange checks. which serve the purpose in New York of general payment. This being so, im order to forestall such action, Chicago banks are forced to sell their New Lors Exehange at a discount about equal as already explained, to the premium paid in New ork en currency. Thus obliged to sell at a discount, it is manifest thathowsver much we might like to ac- commodate our correspondents by continuing te credit Kastern exchange at par, we eannot do 860 while the conditions expiained above prevail. In Philadelphia the case is aggravated by the fol- lowing facts: There is not, asa rule, the demand for Philadelphia Kxchange that exists for New York. Balances, therefore, naturally accumulate there which under ordinary conditiens are made availabie by baving been transferred to New York without cost. One feature, however, ofthe financial complica- tions mow existing is, that Philadeiphia banks will neither pay out the currency nor sel! their New York exchange except at the premium prevaii- ing there, 10 transfer balances, there- fore, from Philadeiphia through New York in the ordinary way, costs now about 1 per centadditional to the discount on New York ex- change. It is avexatious matter to us. which we (leeply regret, but for which we are in no way re- sponsibie. If New York and other Eastern cities referred to could do away with the clearing-house certificates and resume cash payments, the situation would be restored, but for such a desirable result there seems to be no immediate prospect. Insubmitting to correspondents these facts for their consideration, we desfre to have their co- operation and assistance in keeping Chicago and the West on a cash basis. Chicago has been repeatedly urged from different quarters to follow the exampie of the Eastern cities and issue Clearing ouse certificates. This might have afforded considerable relief to the local situation, but it weuld have effectually prevented Chicago banks from continuing to onor ali demands on them in ess as they have done, and they could not have daily shipped currency in large amounts to their interior corre- spondents as they heve been able to do. ‘ere cleariag-house balances settled in certificates checks on Chicago banks would no longer command currency, and as in the East, actual money would soon command a premium. In order thus to maintain money payments, extraordinary measures have been resorted to by Chicago banks. Cable transfers London an hare en paid checks on banks, money used in these foreign cities to purchase American gold. which has been shipped — to Chicago. ‘the gold thus received out of ew York balances in this round-about way has en paid out or shipped to corzespondents, as they have called for it, at the expense to the importers of the discount on New York Exchange. hat is te say, the gold could not have been imported without a loss, had net New York Exchange sold at from lu to 2 per cent discount. Now, what Chicago banks desire to urge upon their correspondents is the necessity of facing the situa- tion as it exists and of their working with them help it. The tendency is to evade if payment of the heavy discount York exekange. Balances in Chi- cage have hitherto been, tos certain extent, main- tained through the deposit of Eastern exchange. Rather than pay the necessary current discount on it now, correspondents are sendiag i: direct to New York for credit. while they con- tinue to callupon the Chieago banks for currency, and thus abnormally reduce their usual balances here. This operates to ve New York reward payments, ishes meintai ments. Chicago ethe to be kept on a cash basis, Eastern exchange must, as has been above shown, be subjected to a discount approximating mum on currency in New York, order to prevent the movement of currency thither to command the premium there offered for it. Banks sheuld taxe these facts into account when dealing with their castomers and their Chicago cor- respondents, and be willing to buy and seil Kastern exchange at its actual money value. LYNAN J. GAGE, President. This is regarded by St. Louis bankers asa direct attack on New Tork. The New York banks have been severely criticising the Chicago banks for their policy of hoarding currency, and for their alleged refusal to send money to their country cor- respondents. The circular issued by Mr. Gage is regarded as throwing down the gauntlet. The St. Louis bankers manifest no such feeling toward New York. L. C. Nelson President of the st. Louls National Bank, said: rwe dave found no necessity of sending out such cir- culars. We have taken care of our customers and of our correspondents. There is no lack of currency in this city. We have — thougnt of issuing clearing-house certifi- cates.’’ The general impression was that the ac- tion ofthe Chicago banks would be highly advantageous to St. Louis. — May Be a Shortare.

Of the affairs of the world he knew very much more than the the affairs of Pontiac he knew as much as the cure, which was evidence of a keen social activity. Tall, red-haired, boyish, with bright brown eyes and an uncompromising angularity of face and form, he had nothing of the personality of a father-confessor, yet as many confessed to him as the cure—in a different manner. He turned most things into a jest, and yet his jests were never offen- sive nor so crude as to lose their piquancy, Men smiled, women simpered, when he came into their presence; and unlucky was that person who chanced to be at an auction sale where he presided, with a pock- ot ful of money and a taste fora joke—be in- variably bid high and often. When the avocat began to lose his health and spirits, and there crept through his shrewd gravity and kindliness a petulance and dejéction. Medallion was the only person who had an inspiriting effect upon bim. The cure and the little chemist tended tu deepen his mel- ancholy. The avocat was not a good church- man, and the cure was too old a friend and sensible a man to press spiritual consolations upon him; and he and the little chemist de- cided that the change in him was due to bad circulation and failing powers; which was only partially trne. Medallion made a deeper guess. Want to know what’s the matter with him?“ he said. „Ha! I'n tel you: Woman. „Woman! God bless me!“ said the little chemist in a frightened way. „Woman, little man; I mean the want of a woman, said Medallion. The cure shrugged his shoulders gently and incredulously. He hasan excellent cook, and his bed and jackets are well aired; I see them constantly at the windows. A laugh gurgled in Medallion’sthroat, He loved these innocent folk! but himself went twice a year to Quebec City, and had more expanded views. **Women, Padre’’—nodding to the priest, and rubbing his chin so that it rasped like sand-paper — ‘‘woman! my druggist*’ — throwing a sly look at the chemist— „woman, neither, as cook nor bottle- washer, is what he needs. Every man—out of holy orders’’—(he said this in deference to his good friend the cure—‘‘arrives at the time when his youth must be renewed, or he becomes as dry bones—like an empty house— furniture sold off, Can only be renewed one way—woman. Well, here's our avocat, and there’s his remedy. He’s got the cooking and the clean, fresh linen, he must havea wife. the very best. „Ah, Medallion, my friend, you are droll,’’ said the cure, arching his long fingers at his lips and blowing gently through them, but not smiling inthe least; rather serious, al- most reproving. It is such a whim, a whim joll!’’ said the littie chemist, shaking his headand looking through his glasses sidewlse ilke a wise bird. „Ha! You shall see. The man must de saved; our cure shail have his fees; our druggist shall provide the finest essences for the feast—no mere pills. And we shall dine with our avocat once a week—with aspar- agus in season for the cure and a little good wine forall. Ha!“ His hal was never a laugh; it was an ejacu- lation of satisfaction, knowledge, solid enjoyment, final solution. unctuous, abrupt. The cure shook his head doubtfully; he did not see the need; he did not believe in Me- dallion’s whim; still he knew that the man’s judgment was shrewd in most things, and he would be silent and wait. But he shrank from any new phase of life likely to alter the conditions of that old companionship, which included themselves, the avocat and the young doctor, who, like the little ehemist, was married. The chemist sharply said: Well. well, — I hope. There is a poetry (his nglish was not perfect, and at times he mixed it with French inan amusing manner), a little chanson, which runs: Serrowful is the littie nouse, The little house by the winding stream; All the laughter has died away Out of the little house. But down there come from the lofty hills Footsteps and eyes agleam. Brin«ing the laughter of yesterday Into the littie house By the winding stream and hills. Di ren, di ron, di ron, di ron-don! The little chemist blushed faintly at the Silence that follewed his timid, quaint re- cital. The cure looked calm and kind and drawn away as ifin thought, but Medallion resently got up, stooped, and laid his long In gers on the shoulder of the apothecary. **Exactly, little man,.“ he said, we've both got the same idea in our heads, I’ve put it hard fact, you've put it soft sentiment,and it’s God's truth either way. Presently the cure asked, as if from a great distance. so meditative was his voice. **‘ Who will be the woman, Medallion?“ I've got one in my eye—the very right one for our avocat; not here, not out of Pontiac, but from St. Jean in the hills—ful- Alling your verses, gentle apothecary. She must bring whatis fresh—he must feel that the hills have come to him, she that the val ley is hers forthe firsttime. A new world for them both. Ha!’’ Mon Dieu! you are a great man, said the chemist. There was a strange, inscrutable look in the kind — Wh eyes. The avocat had con- fessed to him in his time. Medallion took up his hat. **Where are you going?“ said the chemist. Jo our advocat, and then to St, Jean. He opened the door and vanished. The two that were left shook their heads and wondered. Chuckling softly to himself, Medallion strode away through the lane of white board houses and the smoke of strong tabac from these houses, now and then pulling suddenly up to avoid stumbling over a child, where children are numbered by the dozen to every house. He came at last toa house unlike the others, in that it was of stone and larger. He leaned tora moment over the gate, and looked through a window into a room, where the avocat sat propped up with cushions in a great chair, staring gloomilyat two can- dies that burned on the table before him. Medallion watched him fora longtime. The avocat never anged his position; he only jstared at the die, and once or twice his ips moved. A woman came inand puta steaming Dow! before him, and laid a pipe and matches beside the bow]. She was a very little, thin, old woman,quick and quiet, and watch- ful—his housekeeper. The avocat took no notice of her. She looked at him several times anxiously, and passed back and forth behind him, asa hen moves up and down the fank of her brood. All at once she stopped. lier small, white fingers, with their large rheumatic knuckles, lay fat on her lips, as she stood for an instant musing; then she trotted lightly to a bureau, got pen and per and ink, reached down a bunch of keys — the mantel, and came and put them ail veside the bowl and pipe. Still ine Avocat did not stir or show that he recognized her. She went to the door, turned and looked back, her fingers again at her lips; then slowly sidied out of the room. It was long the avocat moved. His eyes ha ot wavered from the space be- tween the candies. At last, however, he gianced down. His eye caught the bow) then the pipe. He reached outa slow han for reg « „and was taking it up, when his giance fell on the keys and the writing ma- terial. He put the pipe down, looked up at the door through which the little old woman had gone, gazed round the room, took up the keys, Dat soon put them down again witha sigh, and settled back in hischair. Now his gaze alternated between that long lane, — 15 into the shadow between the candles and the keys. Medallion threwa leg over the fence and came fn a few steps to the door. He opened it quietly amd entered. In the dark he felt his way along the wall to the door of the avocat’s room, opened it and thrust in his ungainly, whimsical face. 2 * ö — K with quick- winking eyes. ‘Evening, Garon.

And it is by no means certain that they are not now at work at such a scheme. THERE seems to be some doubt about the cértainty of Mr. McKinley’s success in Ohio. Secretary Humphrey of the Repub- lican National League has gone to confer with the Ohio State League ‘‘in regard to the help required from the National League in the campaign in that State.’’ Are the protected industries to be fried ata time like this for so insignificant an office as that of Governor of Ohio? THERE is a wrong somewhere in the case of the prominent citizen who was arrested and immediately discharged by Capt. Joyce, but whether the police made a mis- take in arresting a prominent citizen on any charge, however serious, or this par- ticular prominent citizen was the victim of an unjust charge, cannot be ascertained without further investigation. It would be a good thing, however, to have it made known whether mere prominence entitles a citizen to attempt any crime with impu- nity or the police are ranging around ar- resting anybody on insufficient informa- tion. The public good is involved in the clearing up of this question. THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH. The rights of free speech and free assem- blage are at the bottom of Anglo-Saxon freedom. Upon these are founded the in- stitutions of liberty. Without them lib- erty would not survive the first assault, and despmism would - soon reign in its place. For the abuse of these rights the indi- vidual is responsible under our constitu- tion, but guilt is to be ascertained by reg- ularly defined legal process in the courts. The law does not authorize the police to interfere or to say where the right has been degraded into license. Only when actual violence takes place in the form of rioting, fighting or destruction of prop- erty is police interference warranted by the law. In New York and Chicago there have been, during the past week, notable viola- tions of the law by the police authorities, whoare coming to look upon any con- course of citizens as a riotous assemblage which should be dispersed by a free use of clubs, and revolvers, too, if the crowd does not move on’’ fast enough. In New York the Inspector of Police threatens to make a martyr of poor crazy Emma Gold- man because she amuses a crowd of unem- ployed workingmen by telling them what dreadful things she would do if she could. In Chicago street missionaries—men and women—who, intheirown way, are trying to lead the people of the slums into the ways of morality and clean-heartedness, are clubbed, beaten into insensibility, and dragged to the station by ruffiansin blue clothes. It has been said with some show of truth that such conduct on the part of the police did much to stimulate the anarchistic spirit in Chicago and brought on the Hay- market murders. At any rate the indis- criminate clubbing of innocent citizens did awaken a feeling of resentment and trans- formed a sentimental dissatisfaction with existing social and industrial conditions into an active hostility to constituted authority. Had the police exercised ordi- nary discretion and forbearance, it is quite likely that the hideous scenes in the Hay- market would not have been enacted. In hungry times like these men like to come together to discuss their grievances realand fancied, and their right to do so cannot be questioned. To break up their meetings, or to forbid them, isto promote lawlessness by the unlawful suppression of guaranteed rights. — — — 2 —ä—ꝓ THE RESCUE OF A POODLE. The conscientious journalist is at all times disposed to condemn mob law, but there are occasions when the action of a few hundred indignant citizens seems 80 entirely justifiable that he is tempted to make an exceptionin their case and ap- plaud what is dangerous. When the cause of the recent uprising of the infuriated populace at Bath Beach, N. Y., is considered, the press of the entire country will range itself on the side of the mob. That the villains who were set upon escaped with their lives is greatly | to be regretted. The mauling they re- ceived will, however, be long remembered at Bath Beach as well as at their several residences. Asa lady with a poodle in her arms was turning into Eighteenth street a man sud- denly seized that precious treasure, and, running to the end of the block, leaped into a wagon, on the seat of which sat two men. They lashed the horse furiously, but the mistress of the poodle ran shrieking after them and clung to the wagon. At a distance of 200 yards, however, the steed of the vil- lains doubtiess being an aged and sightless plug, the vehicle was overtaken by «4 crowd of enraged citizens who had taken in the enormity of the crime at a glance. Bricks, sticks and stones were hurled at the dog-catchers, and a dosen brawny heroes clambered into the wagon, dashing them to the ground, where they were kicked and beaten and beaten and kicked until they were scarcely conscious. Then the wagon was ‘‘smashed into Underwood,“ and the beautiful poodle was placed in its fond mistress’ arms, but just as it was restored to her she fainted. She soon recovered, however, and was driven away in a carriage. _ There are, of course, | demn the people of Bs * . en who will con- for thus „ ee * 7 enn . 1 7 9. 3 ’ . 7 1 W. * tS a rhs tA ie , * N 1 oo N * rr . a ~~ 22 “fae ve 1 1 8 9 4 Jt aes Ee qr ts nh GIO , ‘ x + Plt | : * fe N x ＋ 33 90 r N N ure of the outrage. If a poodie can be snatched from the arms of his mistress in broad daylight, what dog is safe? Who can wonder that the noble people of Bath Beach were thrown into a frenzy by 80 unparalleled a crime? ———E A SUGGESTIVE STRUGGLE. A strange sight is presented on the bor- ders of the Cherokee Strip. Thousands of persons are gathered there preparing for a great race by training horses, as a dis- patch states, to run, jump and swim riv- ers. A stranger sight will be the race when these thousands of men and women of all ages and conditions, in all manner of conveyances, rush pellmell into a great body of unoccupied land, striving for its possession. There is something suggestive about this modern Olympian struggle, in which the contestants are intense toilers and the prizes are bits of good, bad and indifferent land. It marks a change in the conditions of American life and typifies a general struggle which is becoming intenser as time passes. Land hunger has seized us with whom land has been adrug. Recog- nition of the value of land as the prime source of all wealth and the lever of power has taken possession of the people. Whether this hunger is prompted by need of a means of living, by a desire for home and abiding place or by a craze for speculation and wealth it is a fact well worth study. The struggle for it in which men are will- ing to undergo strenuous exertion and painful hardship demands consideration with a view of determining its causes and consequences. It behooves us to consider how far we have intensified this fight for the source of life, how far we have permitted and aided the building up of a mastership in land ownership and monopoly. What have we done with the magnificent domain, the estate of the American people and their heirs? Have we not been prodi- galofthe people’s land and careless of their rights? Millions of acres have. been given away to corporations and the way of the monopolist of land and its products and of the land speculator has been made easy. . There are no wrongs so far-reaching in their effects upon present and future generations as land wrongs and the fight over the scraps of Indian reservations in a country of vast domain where land has been almost as free as air is full of im- pressive suggestion. THE Indianapolis Journal’s sketch of Ken- tucky’s Oscar Wilde, who is Mr. Douglass Sherley, omits one of that remarkable gen- tleman’s most interesting specialties. In- stead of going out to live on the made ground of the newer Louisville. Mr. Sherley spends large sums on his fine old family mansion and cherishes it as the descendant of a noble English line might cherish the historic castle of his knightly ancestors. And the way Mr. Sherley paints his castle every three years astonishes and delights the town, and the horses have to get used to it before they re- gain their wonted docility. low, flat red, black, and green and gold are the outside walls of this fine old house when the painters have gone over it, and the stables are equally dazzling to the spectator. The most gorgeous of all the new palatial homes of the Kentucky metropolis is not so well known as this fetching renaissance of the Sherley. It stands alone, as it were, in rainbow magnificence. Louisville woula not be much of a town without Douglass Sherley. >_> A MAYOR May or May not Bea Judge.

It has been the recent custom of Ways and Means Committees in preparing tariff legis- lation toinvite the co-operation of manu- facturers, importers, merchants and wage- earners in composing the schedules relating to Doth the special and general industry. Two-thirds at least of the testimony given by these witnesses has been useless, sofar as the object of the committee was concerned. Most of it has been intended merely for cam- paign material in aid of the cause of protec- tion. The arguments and assertions of pro- tected monopolists have been printed day after day inthe newspapers as the proceed- ings of the committee. The present Ways and Means Committee should not follow this evil example. It does not need to listen once again to the oft- repeated tale. Not only has the essential material for its work been gathered, but its Chairman is more familiar withit than any man in the country, except, perhaps, Secre- tary Carlisle. Some ot his associates helped inthe framing of the Mills bill and sat by while the manufacturers built the McKinley bill. The committee can secure all the ald it needs and the information it lacks in the Treasury Department. It can and should make a complete bill, and be ready to report it at the regular session of Congress. The work of the extra session is the repeal of the Sherman law. That should not be complicated with the tariff question or any- thing else. Ifthe Ways and Means Comwmit- tee goes quietly to work framing a Dill to reduce taxes and relieve consumers of un- necessary durdens it will not only expedite the reform it is commissioned to carry out, but will spare the business of the country an additional disturbance, which it can hardly stand under existing conditions. Prosperity at the Fair. From the Chicago News. Yesterday’s paid admissions to the World's Fair amounted to 152,380, while the total at- tendance was 182,757. So far as the World’s Columbian Exposition is concerned the era of depression is at an end. Times are no longer hard in Jackson Park, and there is no financial stringency in the Midway. Confidence has been completely restored and the skies seem to be cloudless. From now to the end of October it is ex- pected that prosperity will reign in the White City. Lower fares, good harvests, fine weather and a somewhat freer circulation of money areinthe main responsible for the increase in the number of Fair visitors, and as there is no reason to anticipate any change inthe situation the days of prosperity in Jackson Park will probably continue till the end.

HELEN M. Maso. Retire the Small Notes. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: The worst enemies that silver has to-day are those bimetallists who seek to make it a basis in its present bebased condition. With over 400,000,000 silver dollars, over $300,000,000 greenbacks and $140,000,000 silver bullion cer- tificates in circulation and but $100,000,000 gold on hand it is hard to see how we can continue on a gold basis much longer, but most certainly it cannot be done ona Silver basis of 55 cents on the dollar at this juncture. When silver was demonetized in 1878 the Democrats in Congress were derelict in their duty in not making a determined fight for such subsidiary laws as would have kept silver in use to-day amongst the people. The English people have the same currency Dasis as we have and it has been in operation since 1811; but they do not allow any small bills to circulate and silver does not work justas it would in the United States if it had the chance. If ~ ey willdo just what they were convened for by the President, repeal the purchasing clause and add as a substitute the retirement of Si and $2 paper money and the use of silverintheir stead, we will have Silverin circulation once more, doing the duty that God Almighty Intended it for. JAY BIRD. are For the Southwest. To the Editor ofthe Post- Dispatch: The people of the South and Southwest are greatly interested in the effort now put for- ward by Gov. Lewelling of Kansas, also Gov. Hogg of Texas, in opening up commercial intercourse with the outside world through the great Mississippi River. This is not for any sectional disunion but foran outlet for manufactured and other products of the great valley of the ‘ Iississippi, and the im- portation of the same through the same channel, When this is done the price ofthe lands of the West Mill rapidly advance. A price willbe gotfor the raw material and manufectured products; the price of wheat corn and hay will advance, and the farmer — be justified in making an effort to till the soll. This letteris not written in the interest of the silver question or with any political view, butto free a people from trusts and grinding corporations who are working against the interest of the masses for their own coffers, which they wishto fill atthe expense of sweat and hard labor of our Western and Southern people. S. T. WILLIAMS of Arkansas. Jvetice toths Benks. To the Edit or of the Post- Disvatch: Our Senators and Representatives in Con- gress are either ignorant of the real situa- tion or else they are wilifully tryingto mis- lead the people when they attempt to make out that most of the national banks are in- sOlvent and claim that they refuse to pay out currency upon checks when the de- positor has same to his credit in said bank. Now the fact of the matteris that these banks simply refuse to pay out currency againsta deposit of checks upon which cur- rency can net be collected for from one to ten days, as they are drawn upon points all over the country. No bank has yet refused to pay out currency upon a check drawn by a depositor who had a deposit of currency to his credit when sald check was presented. In justice to the national banks of the country the above fact should be given due publicity. BANKER. Grani Avenue Track Laying.

From the Pittéburg Dispatch. * The dictates of fashion are far-reaching in their scope, and even the hammock of the summer boarder is not exempt from their influence. The fashionable hammock this year is divided in two longitudinally, by hav- ing the center drawn tight, so that it is prac- tically a double hammock, with separate cushion and stretchér for both of its occu- pants. A valance is added, which affords a discreet screen from Bag woes of grace into which the summer nguor ma have tempted the lounger to drift. th an effective awning overhead this hammock be- comes luxurious enough to satisfy the most exacting. Few people who use Mexican hammocks know anything about their history previous to their arrival in this country. Large tracts of country in Yucatan are planted with an evergreen succulent plant in- ln tothe country. It resembies the plant of the genus aloe, with which it is sometimes confounded. It grows well in stony soll, and requires little care.

THE sSEARCH-LIGHT BEETLE. New Yorkers Astonished at the Sight of the Brilliant Cucujo. From the New York Times. A young Mexican, carrying a perforated tin box which resembled an old-fashioned lantern, strolled along West Fifty-ninth street one evening recently and stopped in front of the Hotel Pomeroy. From the tin lantern came a beautiful yel- lowish green light, such as no candle could possibly give. A number of gentlemen were sitting on the hotel porch, and the boy with the lantern moppes up to them and sald: **Mexican bugs, sirs. Fifteen cents apiece, two for a quarter. He then threw back his coat and disclosed several large beetles secured to his vest by light threads tied about their bodies, cach beetle carried two powerful search- lights on the dorsal surface of its thorax, laced so as to throw the light directly in ront of itseyes. When the beetles were left undisturbed for a little while the light dwindled away to a mere point, but it glowed again when they were touched with the fin- ger. The tin box contained fully — more specimens. It was their combin light which illuminated the novel lantern, The young Mexican took several of the beeties from the box and made them parade up and down the walk to display their lights to better advantage. At the same time their cousins, the firefiles, were glowing among the trees over in Ventral Park. The boy called the beetle cucujo. The sales were rapid, and soon everyone was asking how long they would live and what to feed them on. **Give them ripe food, the boy said. and they will live till cold weather comes. He explained further that his uncle had brought 600 up from the South to sellin New York and Chicago, The beetle is the pyrophorus noctilucus of Central America and the West Indies. It be- longs to the famii of the elaterida@. It is called cucujo, fire beetle and spring beetle. The last name refers to its 828 to. throw itself by a quick movement of its spine to its feet when it is placed on its back. The light comes from two oval tubercules on the dorsal surface of the thorax and from the under surface of the segments of the body. In the Southern countries the natives some times use them as oroaments for the hair. They are also confined in glass vessels and are actually used to light rooms. A single beetle, if held close tothe page, will enable one to read fine print. Circumstances Aiter Cases.

CUSTOMS FRAUDS SUSPECTED. ‘New Yorx, Aug. 26.—The Custom-house In- vestigation Commission held an important session at the Barge Omce yesterday, which resulted in unearthing evidence of lax bust ness methods in the Surveyor’s Department and possibly of systematic fraud upon the rtof a number of weighers and gaugers. t is said that arrests are to be made at once. The members of the commission present were Messrs. Magone, McFariand and Dunn. mas H. Morrison, in charge of the Bureau of signers and Gaugers, was the principal Witness. The differences between the actual weight of certain merchandise as speci- fed on manifests and invoices and as re * weighers were brought to his ntion. Tue cases referred generally to talian merchandises imported about a year enpada balf ago. Mr. Morrison was unable to — . — the differences. The commission ca he books of the department to be brought down to the barge office, where they were sub toarigid scrutiny. The aock s used by the weighers and gaugers were found to be in a shocking condition, The commission discovered that lead pencils had been used in making entries, and that there were many erasures, traces of alterations and other peculiar features. Evidences of manipulation of figures were everywhere ap ut, and Commissioner McFarlane said at the close of the session that he had not the sliglitest doubt that there had been extensive stealings among the employes of the depart- ment. He would not say what the commis- sion would do, but he admitted it had de- termined upon a decisive course. At the Barge Office and Custom-house it was said the course of the commission would be to make wholesale arrests among em- ployes of the Bureau of Weighers and Gaug- rs, which is a branch of the Surveyor's De- rtment. This was practically confirmed y oMciais of the Customs Service, who are perfectiy informed ofthe views of the com- missioners. The warrants will be served to- day. HAROLD M’CORMICK’S ARREST. OLEVELAND, O., Aug. 2%.—Harold Me- Cormick, son of the reaper manufacturer. hadan unpleasant experience in this city Thursday night.

Mr. McCormick had been at the country residence of Mr. Rocke- feller, and upon his return to the Stillman to get his baggaxe before starting for Catee go was met by Detective Ryan of Detroit, who placed’ him under arrest, saying he was wanted for several vffenses. Young Me- Cormick said it was a case of mistaken iden- tity, but went without undue objections to the Oentral Station. It was claimed that his description tallied with that of the crook by the name of McCormick ,an4 his signature on the hotel register corresponded with that of the man for whom the officers were looking. Upon arrival at the station Mr. McCormicx, by letters in his possession and in other ways, demonstrated to the officers that he Wasnot the man wanted and was allowed to take a train for Chicago. The crook has not yet been caught. SPARF AND HANGEN FOUND GUILTY.

A Lively Scrap in the Security Build- ing. Passers-by in the neighborhood of the Se- curity Building yesterday afternoon were treated to the rather unusual spectacle of a triangular fight in the office of Gray, Maginn & Holman, insurance agents. The office oc- cupled by the firm needed some plumbing and the firm of Graham & reters was asked to figure on the work. Accordingly Mr. Graham put on his coat and started to figure on lead pipe and half-inch waste pipe. Mr. Maginn, who was ip the office at the time and whoisa brother of the member of the firm of the same name, started to make remarks about plumb- ers’ pay at $ an hour, and, as the story goes, Mr. Graham made afew remarks about in- surance agents not being as white or near as pure as snow, andthe battle started. Mr. Graham led, re-led, countered and cross- countered until Mr. Maginn commenced to think that the plumber wasn’ta plumber at all. dut a ringer who had been imported to lick him. Mr. Maginn’s brother happened in about this time and took a handinthe battle, and finally, according to Mr. Maginn, the insur- ance men were Victorious. r. Maginn says this is the first time on record where a plumber ever got the worst of it on anything. AT THE THEATERS. Fronman’s Company at the Olympic— Opening of Havlin’s and the Standard. At the Olympic last night Dion Boucicault’s comedy, Old Heads and Young Hearts, was admirably performed by Daniel Froh- man’s Lyceum Theater Company. The play isof the old style, in Which a great deal of attention is paid to the dialogue and little to stage effect or continuous action, There isa great deal of leading upto points and much conversation that would be elided by a modern stage manager on the ground that itwas unnecessary. The main features of the plot can be foreseen before the close of the Arst act. But it is full of bright hits. Georgia Cayvan did a delicious plece of work in the character of Lady Alice, a gay, co- quettish, but true-hearted girl She had more opportunity of displaying light-hearted sprightliness than is usually afforded ber in the plays in which she appears, and her brightness and piquancy carried away the audience. Herbert Kelcey looked very hand- some inthe part of Littleton Coke, and his acting was excellent. Eugene Ormonde has seldom appeared to better advantage than in the character of Tom Coke. His imitation of the accent of the country Squire was perfect. Asthe Countess of Pompion Mrs. hiffen was the affected, frivolous old lady whose thoughts were occupied only by the condition of her nerves and her lap-dog to the life. Charles Walcot gave a most amusing inter- rotation of the character of Col. Rocket, and F, J. Ratcliffe was an admirable Lord Roe- buck. W. J. Lemoyne was most lovabie in the character of Jesse Rural, and Eme Shan- non was a charming Kate Rocket.

EVERYBODY CARBIED THROUGH THE BUILDING FREE OF CHARGE, Four Great Traveling Oranes Were Op- \ erated by Electricity Supplied by Engines Aggregating 26.000 Horse- power—Largest Battery of Boilers on Earth——Exposition News. WOoORLD’s Farr GRounDSs, Aug. 26.—-Machin- ery Hall, one of the largest and most expensively equipped buildings on the grounds, provided entertainment and popu- lar amusement for World's Fair visitors to-day. It was lavishly decorated with flags. Traveling cranes, three inthe main building and one inthe machine shop, all operated by electricity, carried anybody free of charge. In the power plant, which is the largest in the world, having eighty-six engines and about 26,000 horse-power, all told, every available engine and dynamo was in opera- tion. The boller-house, supplying steam to this enormous plant, displayed the largest battery of boilers on earth, fifty-two in all. In the boller-house annex the largest single water tube boiler ever constructed was seen. Ou is used exclusively for fuel. Music was furnished by two bands, located in the east gallery and on the traveling cranes. Worth- ington pumps supplied free lemonade to all visitors, Looms weaving everything in silk, cotton and wool fabrics, from the finest rib- bons to large rugs, were a center of attrac- tion, and a thing of great interest to house- keepers was a dish-washing machine invented by a woman. There was fun without while there was en- tertainment within. The south lagoon was a scene of a conflict between the horse ma- rines. The combatants sat in barrels prop- erly weighted and ornamented with a horse’s head. There were six men each from the portand starboard watches of the United States steamer Andy Johnson. Jubilee sing- ers sang their quaint melodies. It was an enjoyable day. Another large crowd of people assembled inthe big live stock pavilion. The superb exhibit has caughtthe public interest, and each day the number of visitors who pass through the number of barns and occupy seats inthe big pavilion increases. Chief of the Agricultural Department Buchanan and his assistant, Col. Charles F. Millis, have spared no pains to make the live stock fea- ture attractive. Breeders from every part of the world are in daily attendance. After the regular cavalcade of all the stock in the big arena to-day, the Belgian horses and Galloway cattle were brought out to De judged forthe awarding of premiums, The judge of Galloway cattle is David McCree of Guelph, Ontario, and the judge of Belgian horses is Reiterschafts Director Von Soldern, Plattenburg. The scene was enlivened by a dispiay of other breeds of horses. The saddlehorses were brought into the ring and ridden about, and along with them were the graceful Arabians of the Czar of Russia.

WAS A BIT CORIOUS. Could Not Exactly Understand What the Other Fellow Meant.

No, sir.“ „Are you pretty well up on Webster your- self?’’ ,» **Fairly so. What's the trouble?’’ ant a term defined.

I asked him i? he ever drank, and he said he did. I ordered beer for me and water for him, and he stuck up his chin and called me a parsimvunious slinker. Wasthe reference appropriate to the occasion?’’ Well, somewhat. Then it’s all right. I thought he had slippedacogin his grammar, or was ad- dressing the bartender. Then he probably meant me? All right—all right, yes. He must have meant me, for I noticed he didn’t drink the water, and thought he said some. thing about —— my eyebrows off.

Officer Roach of the Third District com- plained to Judge Paxson, when the second District Police Court nad been adjourned to- day, that Acting City Attorney Dodge had nolle prossed the cases of Pat Lahey, William Powers, Edward Krite and Edward T. Pfeffer, charged with disturbing the peace, without his consent. The men were arrested by Roach and Officer Kelly while engaging in a fight at Eighth and Carr streets yesterday morning. Dodge excused himself by saying that Chas. Grote, a grocer and professional bondsman, had informed him that there was **nothing in the case. Judge Paxson lect- ured Dodge and advised him that he hed no right to Cispose of a case without consulting the city’s witnesses. THE SKIES GROW BRIGHTER. The Turn in the Tide That Shows Relief and Resumption. From the Scranton Tribune. Cheering evidence is seen that the fleeting scare is over. Reports which begia to come from every quarter show that the reaction bas setin. The depressed scale is quivering in readiness for the upward swing and among business men and financiers gen- erally there is visible a distinct expression of relief. The proof? Look for it in the news from monetary cen- ters. Compare the diminishing number of failures and suspensions with the increasing number of cheering resumptions and re- openings. For a time it was all one way, Dut rs the news pages of the last three days there 1 is an undoubted turn in the tide. Not a single enius is coming to the top in triumph over the sudden wave of unrest. Common sense is returning. Movements of capital are not always fin. stantaneous. There may be afi aftermath of temporary embarrassment and even, in in- stances, of failure. But the general swell of the current is irresistibly toward recovery, and it needs only the co-operation of busi- ness men and investors to accelerate the relief. The backbone of the pinch is shat- terered beyond repair. Banks are again re- celving the deposits of reassured patrons. The feeling un every hand is one of re- encourgementand satisfaction. Let individ- ual industry, economy and sensible business patriotism continue their remedial efforts and the whole thing: will be adjusted eqult- ably and soon. MEN ARE LIKE SHEEP. They Follow a Leader, Particularly If the Leader Is a Chump. From the Kansas City Times. : want to cali your attention to the fact that the human chump isa gregarious ani- mal, remarked a traveling man yesterday. 1 assert that the majority of people are chumps,and by a chump I mean a person who allows other people to think for him. Chumps are like sheep, they go in a flock. I spent yesterday in loafing about your town. 1 found much food for thought down on Dela- ware street, which I found crowded all day long with people who were loaded to the muzzle with second-hand information on finance and banking questions. I mixed with the crowd in front of one the banks on which there wasarun. Ihadnot been there long before a man whose every look and move proclaimed him a thronic croaker joined the group of which I was one of the component parts. His face was screwed into an expres- sion of intense despair. Some onein the group said something about deposits, and the croaker edged to the front, extended his lack hand and, bringing tis bony — 1 — down upon it, began, Men, und Faused for attention. Men, What are we comin’ tew? What chance’sa pore man got nowadays? The kentry’s goin’ torack ’nruin. The rich 's grindin’ the pore into the dast. The dod- blamed banks’s Dustin’ up n lIinin’ their pockets with the pore man’s money.’ **He went on inthis strain for fifteen min- utes and everyone in the group said, ‘Yes, that’s so, sure enough,’ and sheok their heads sadiy. When the croaker had pumped that group dry of applause he moved off and it followed. Everywhere he went he croaked the same old croak and all the other croakers agreed with him. Finally I called him to one side and said: My poor man, my heart bleeds for you. Tell me, how much money have you on depositinany of these suspended banks. You must have lost a big amount or you would not mourn so.’ ** ‘No, Ididn’t lose none; not a cent. I wuz too cute for em. Iheerd that the banks wuz all goin’ to bust up higher’n a kite an’ I drawed what I hed in out.’ Then you have lost nothing by the sus- pension of these banks?’ ‘* *‘Nary a red. THE WHITE HOUSE CARPETS How They Are Worn, Torn and Be- draggiea by Office- Seekers. From Kate Field’s Washington. Ifany ocular proof of the persistence of office-seekers is needed, it exists in the White House carpets. They look as if they could never be made to smile again. The one on the stairs leadingtothe office best shows what the impatient feet of the 99,000 would-be government employes have accomplished. It isaheavy Axminster, held in place by long nails with big steel heads instead of stair rails. The naltlis fully three inches long, but since the rush there is a decided scarcity of the shining heads, and the tread of the office-seeker has pulled out even these great spikes anda couple of dozen of them have been picked up and put away. The car- pet iooks as ifa regiment of giants had been executing a doubie shuffle on the stairs for the last month. Anextra demand for stair carpet at the White House ought to be granted without demur by the Congressmen who have brought the office-seekers along and helped add to the wear and tear. Suit Against a City. The transcript in the case of Allelia B. Mor- gan against the city of Des Moines, lo., was filed in the United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals to-day. The plaintif alleges that in April, 1891, she fell into a pit negligently left open cross the sidewalk and was seriously injured, for which Gamages in the sum of $10.000 were asked. The city demurred to the bili of complaint, stating that the custody of the pavement in question was nota part of the city’s duty, and the demurrer was sus.- tained. From this decision an appeal was taken. Bie Barga ns in Pictures. We move to 409 Locust street sept. 1. Til that date we will sacrifice any picture in our stock. HEFFERNAN, 1010 Olive st.

Crawford, 818 Clinton street. Welsh notified Officers Good- win and O'Leary, who, together with Officer McCain, surrounded the house. Meantime the two robbers began a tour of the house. A boarderin one of the rooms was awak- ened, and seeing a man in his room threw a chair at him. This raised a general alarm, and the officers rushed in and caught John Hughes, alias John Connors, one of the burg- lars. The other escaped by jumping out ofa C window. He was in his bare feet, and left his hat behind. Both the burglars’ shoes were found by the police. The men got in through the front door, which is not locked at night on account of the boarders coming in at different times during the night.

William Black, in ‘‘Greon Pastures and Piccadilly,’’ makes just one attempt at it, but he has put his man away out West, ana he never tries it but once, and doesn’t suc- ceed that time, though he is near it. A cow- Doy isn’t the kind of person to say :*‘Fooist,’’ meaning Arst,“ but that is within a mile or two of what the New Yorker born and bred would say. The main difficulty in putting the dialect into type is inherent in the language, In the printer’s case the box for ‘‘e’’ isthe biggest and roomiest of all, for that letter is used the oftenest ; but by good rights there ought to be a character for the indeterminate vowel sound, whose duty is now shoved off on the other vowel letters, The staff being short - handed, a, e, 1. o and u take turns doing emergency duty. It is this failure of the English language to provide a character forthe sound most fre- quentiy made that makes it so hard to set forth dialect, and particularly New York dialect. Mr, Howells, when attempting to picture this curious pronunciation with the or- Ginary types, tries to effect it by sub- stituting y“ for the letter er,“ writing it nervous“ add ‘‘chuych,’’ but there le where the inherent cussedness of the English language comes in.

More money was loaned at 6 per cent than has been placed at that rate for some time. Among this week’s large loans were $40,000 placed by E. S. Rowse, $30,- 000 by Nelson & Mersman, $22,500 by the Ham- mett-Anderson-Wade Real Estate Co. and $25, - 000 by Hayde 14 Son. There were numerous oth er loans made in smaller amounts, all of which indicate a much better feeling in real estat e and financial circies, and an easing up in the money market which will give real estatea new impetus. In this connection, an agent who had made a $7,600 loan on South side near losing who offered the same security. Chas. J. Dunnerman is in Wicbita, Kan., placing $25,000 of Chicago money in loans. The money was in St. Louis banks, having been deposited here by the Chicago ‘people. It is said this amount is to de loaned to a St. Louls operator whose home is in Kansas, but who will use the money in improving his St. Louls property. A meeting of stocaholders inthe St. Louls Real Estate Exchange will be held on next Tuesday for the purpose of voting on a prop- Osit ion to increase the capital stock of the Exchange from $10,000 to $15,000.

MONT’s UNBEATEN RECORD. * If He Wins the Futurity He Will Heve the Greatest Two- Year-Old Record in Turf Annals — Track and Stable Gossip— Base Ball- General Sporting News. The approach ot the Futurity has precipi- tated a violent discussion in the turf world anent the season’s 2-year-olds. There is lit- tle room for argument as to who stands at the head. The season’s work so far has demonstrated the superiority of Domino, and it is expected on all sides that he will crown his season of glorious achievement by pulling down the richest plum of the year. When it comes to placing the colt that stands next in merit there is more division. Senator Grady, Henry of Navarre and Dob- bins have their firm supporters, but there is room for, argument that the Messrs. J. R. and Foxhall Keene have the champion quar- tette of the year in Domino, Hyderabad, El Telegrafo and Hornpipe. All bat he latter are eligible in Tuesday’s great race, and it looks as if the white and gold dots would carry all before it in the big event. Never before in the history of the turf have so many really great youngsters raced in the same colors. Domino, to be sure—the dark son of Himyar and Minnie Gray—is the star of the bunch and his unbeaten record up to date demonstrates that he isthe grandest 2-year- old the American turt has seen since the sea- son of 1886, when Tremont, the Dwyer Bros’. unbeaten black son of Virgel, now in the studat Craper & Jackson’s Belle Meade Farm, sweptall before him. ‘Tremont, like the great Keene colt. is black in color and never suffered defeat. Unfortunately a ring bone developed on one of his fore legs to- wards the close of the first and only season he was campaigned and he had to be re- tired. His phenomenal record as a2-year-old was never approached until the Messers. Keene turned loose the consistent Domino last spring. His career has been one continual blaze of giory and it is to be hoped that the youngster will be able to wind itupfor the season by winning the richest of the American stakes. Domino has already won nearly $75,000 this year, and if he succeeds in capturing the Futurity, he will have won more money in one season than any horse that ever rdced on the American turf. Next to Himyar’s son, the best of the Keene quartette is Hyderabad, the $30,000 son of Hyder AliandGloriana. This youngs- ter has performed in the most consistent manner all season, and many of the best in- formed of the Eastern turfites think he is fast enough to give his black stable compan- ion the hardest kind of a race. In fact the question of superiority between the pair, according to many close observers of form can only be settied by the contest, Albert Cooper, who sold Hyderabad to the Messrs. Keene, and up toa short timeago trained the 2-year- old division of their stabie, thinks Hyder Ali’s son the better colt. When James R. Keene took a fancy to Hyderabad Cooper wanted to racethe pair, the owner of the Winner to take both. Mr. Keene, however, was not so gaine, but concluded it would De best to have Hyderabad out of the way of his own crack, so he induced Cooper to sell for „000. It seems to be the prevafling impression that the Messrs. Keene will endeavor to run one two with the pair in the Futurity. Hornpipe is a royally bred youngster. His sire is the great Mr. Pickwick, among whose get are Sir Francis, Dobbins, Ida Pickwick and other noted performers. His dam is Round Dance, a daughter of the great War Dance line. El Telegrafo, a son of the great Tremont out of Marguerite, completes the quartette. Domino has pulled down suc- cessively the richest 2-year-old stakes of the ear. El Telegrafo was not heard of until e showed his heels to the pick of the Western youngsters in the World’s Fair stakes. Hornpipe and Hyderabad have done everything demanded ofthem, but they have hardly had a chance to prove their true worth, having had to play second fiddle to Domino throughout the season. ' Outside of the great guartette the stable has in Bowers, a chestnut colt by imp. Great Tom, out of Moselle. a promising youngster that has had little opportunity to show his worth, if the Keene stable shows to the front next Tuesday the turf world will begin to figure on which of the 38-year-old stakes the Messrs. Keene will not have at their mercy next year. MR. FRANK SHAW SHOWS UP. Mr. Frank Shaw, the well-known Western turfman, who wlll manage the betting ring at the Fair Grounds during the meeting which will be inaugurated this afternoon, arrived inthe city from St. Paul this morn- ing. Mr. Shaw has just returned from the Kast, where he managed to get in heavy on Roy Lochiel, the good thing’’ put over the plate at Monmouth Park last Saturday. „Racing as a business onthe Board of Con- trol tracks is away below par, said Mr. Shaw. The stringency in the money mar- ket in that section is a heap worse than it is out West, at least such is the manner in which I was impressed. The number of books doing business at Monmouth Park has fallen off fully 50 per cent since the — was opened, and, just think of it, most of these pay off with checks on New York banks to their big customers, with whom they generally have an accounting the next morning. Ofcourse these checks are as good as currency, but it goes to show how hard cash must to get hold of when they get down to doing this kind of business on race tracks. The fall meeting in this city is an experiment toacertain extent, but in my mind can be made successful if handied properly, continued Mr. Shaw. ‘*This city is solid enough financially, and has a large element of moneyed admirers of horse rac- ing, so I see no reason why the meeting, if high grade sport is furntsued, should not made pay. If it does not I am the unfortu- nate that will suffer, and Icertainly didn’t get in the scheme with the expectation of losing money.’’ Judge Clint R. Reilly and starter Ferguson arrived in good shave. Both are enthusitas- th overthe prospects of the Jockey Club’s fal. meeting. TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP. Samuel Campbell has completed arrange- ments for the construction of a new race course on the outskirts of San Prancisco which is expected to be opened this winter. The new course will include a stylish club house and three tracks—a muain and working track and a 6-furlong straightaway. A tunnel will be built under the main track, so that horses can go to the exercising track without interfering with the races. **Pittsburg Phu“ asserts that the racing at Monmouth has been the most corrupt he ever saw. Phil must have been plunging heavily on horses that didn’t win. The famous race-goer walls: What in the world can a man do who plays the horses on form, as always do? He is bound to lose as I have lost, and as about everybody else has lost that] know of. If I werethe only one who had lost and complained I should simply think that I was out of form and had forgot- ten allthat I knewadout horses. But the complaint is universal, and the best men I know areunable to tell anything how the horses will run at Monmouth. It must simply be rotten clear through to tne core. Pierre Lorillard claims that he never spoke more than twice to John Chew, the horse- man murdered by the Rancocas trainer, *‘anip’’ Donovan. Still, the Grand-jury has sent out a subpoena for the millionaire. A well-known trainer says that Ormonde could be distinguished amo 1,000 horses if | be were to be turned among them.

From the Detroit Free Press. The drummer had told a commercial story, and the dentist, who had beep extracting much pleasure therefrom, followed witha professional yarn. At one time in my early practice in a country town,“ he said, there came to me a very nervous woman to have a tooth er- tracted. She carried on so that I could scarcely get her into the chair, and as soon as I put the forcéps near her mouth she screamed and bounced around so I couldn’t do anything with her. After two or three visits, each worse than the other, I sug- gested that I take her to the nearest large town where a dentist administered gas. Well, the tooth hurt her so that at last she consented, and I took her there, about twenty-five miles by rall. I went armed with a pairofforceps as a matter of habit, and when we got tothe place and she saw the gas bagandthe other appliances, she had them again worse than before, and I had to give it up and take her back home. I was thoroughly provoked, and felt like taking a club to her, but she had money and was paying for her foolishness, so I tried to re- strain my feelings. About ten miles out from town as the train was pluggin along about twenty miles an hour, and she was holding her jaw and I was holding mine, in the seat beside her, we struck a broken rail, and the last thing I Knew we were roll- ing down an embankment and being piled up at the bottom in a very promiscu- ous fasbion. I don’t know how it came about, but I wasn't hurt much, and when my senses were fully restored I dragged my patient out through a window and laid her on a dank near by. She was pretty badly bruised and had been knocked senseless, andasl was endeavoring to re- store her a brilliant thought occurred to me, The next moment I bad out my forceps and the next 1 had out the confounded tooth. Two hours later one of the physicians who had been summoned had restored her to con- sciousness,and as she opened her eyes and saw me standing by her side, she clapped her hand to her jaw and exclaimed: Oh, doctor; I knew it would be terrible, but I didn’t think it would De so bad as that. However, though, itis out at last.’ Then she went to Rost. and it was a week before she knew the real facts in the gase. Did she pay you gnyshing extra?’’ queried the drummer, doubtfally. No, ' smiled the dentist, ‘*but the railroad company did—$5,000—and I got half. "POSSUMS FOR SALE. So He Stopped the Express to Get Help to Catch Them. From the Senola (Pa.) Eaterprise-Gezeatte. The regular passenger train was going west from Griffin, and was about forty minutes late, and the engineer Was trying to make up lost time and consequently running about fifty milesan hour. He was horrified to see just about 200 yards ahead of him, just ashe turned a curve before he got to Whitewater Creek, a man on the track waving his coat across the track and ovr, his head, and seem- ing to be very much exa@ted. The engineer, thinking; of course, that the bridge had been burned or fallen in, applied his air Drakes, reversed his engine and shouted to his fireman to jump. hey both landed safely and the train came toa halt 830 suddenly that it nearly unseated all the pas- sengers. „For God's sake, what's the matter?’’ asked the almost breathless conductor of the fellow who had stopped his train. Sam—for that was his name—answered: **I jes’ wanted to know ef you wanted to buy some ’ possums?’’ The engineer fainted, the fireman flew back to the engine, and the conductor looked all about him for a rock or a fence rail to Kill Sam with, and finally reached in his hip pocket for his pistol, fully intent to kill him on the spot, but he did not have his pistol and could not find anything to hit him with. He saw he was init, and after a moment’s refiection he told Sam te would take his opossums. The conductor intended to take all 8am’s opossums and leave Sam standing, without paying for them. so the conductor asked Sam where they were. The engineer had recovered himself, the fireman and about two-thirds of the passengers had got upto the engine by now and eagerly looked for Sam to bring in about a dozen fat oot but Sam simply said to the con- uctor: Wall, I hajn’t got um here, Dut these here woods up here is just chuck full of um. and I’ll ketch you three or four and bring um down some time. Four strong men lifted the limp and almost lifeless form of the conductor on the train. A SIMPLE MENU. Breakfast at a Select Country Boarding- House. From Life.

Spectators Cannot Be Held-What Con- stitutes a Prise Fight-—Why a War- rant for Larceny aud Not Highway Robbery Was Issued. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Fstep in the exercise of his arbitrary power to issue or refuse warrants has during the past few days aroused considerable indignation on the part of the police and several (itizens by nis refusal to authorize prosecuticns which seemed to be warranted on the evidence presented. The two cases in which his position aroused the most comment were those of an alleged highway robbery and the Cheltenham prize fight. In speaking of his refusal to issue a war- rant for robbery in the frst degree against the three footpads who several Gays ago snatched a purse from a lady at the corner of Washington avenue and Whittier street, Mr. Estep said: ‘*I cannot now recall the exact language of the statute dealing with robbery in the first degree, but the main feature in the wording of it is that it provides for the punishment of those who commit robbery by putting a person in fear of bodily barm. I hold, and the rulings of the courts bear me out, that snatching a pocketbook is accom- plished without threats and comparatively without violence. No more force is requisite in snatehing a pocketbook than would be used in picking a pocket. In such an in- stance the prosecution could only be.suc- cessfully instituted on a charge of larceny. Whether the charge would be grand larceny (a felony) or petit larceny (a misdemeanor) ‘ would depend entirely upon the amount taken. If less than $30 it is petit larceny. In issuing warrants I must, to a certain extent, be guided by the probabilty and pos- sibility of securinga conviction. What is the use of my issuing warrants on charges under which I know a conviction impos- sible? If I aid 80 the State would be put to the expense ofa useless prosecution, and the criminals would escape punishment on technical grounds, When the application fora warrant for robbery in the first degree was made to me In this case I re- member asking the lady whether the thieves had used violence, either by strangling her, by wrestling with her for the possession of the purse, or by making threats against her life and safety or in any other manner and she answered in the negative. They merely snatched the pocket-book and ran. I main- tain that this is nota case of highway rob- bery or robbery in the first degree, but merely one of larceny, andon this charge I issued a warrant.’’ HIS STAND ON THE FIGRT. In speaking of his recent refusal to issue a warrant against the men implicated in the attemptto hold a prize fight at Heinrich’s saloon, on Clayton road near Taylor avenue last Tuesaqay night, Attorney Estep was — 4. émphatic in maintaining that the stand he then took was in every sense a right and just one. -The fact that quite a number of men were found around a staked out ring and that gloves, bell, bottles, and in fact that all the paraphernalia necessary for a prize fight or a sparring exhibition was found on the premises constituted, under the statutes, no ground for le prosecution, An overt act must, he said, be committed before sufficient grounds had arisen upon which to issue a warrant. It the police had wgited until the men were in the ring and had struck even one low.“ he said, the case would have been complete, but as it is no case could be made against them. The mere ssession of the apparatus constitutes no offense. The law is peculiar in this respect. The mere act of sign- ing articles for or training a man fora prize fighttotake place outside the State consti- tute an offense, but it the fight is to take place inthe city.itis no offense. In this in- stance the police do not claim that the prin- cipalg even entered the ring, but, on the contrary, acknowledge that they did not. Most certainly no offense was committed againstithe law, though it is morally sure that a violation of the statutes would have taken — had the raid been delayed but a short time.’’ . **Does not the act of buyinga ticket for a prize fight constitute the aiding and abetting of that offense?’’ No, it does not. Judge Claiborne in a re- cent ruling in a case in which the arrest of spectators was made at a prize fightin Forest Park held that persons as- semdled to merely witness a ght could not be prosecuted under the law. I issued a warrant in that case, but in view of his rul- ing I made a closer study ofthe law and be- lieve that I understand it thoroughly. I am not in sympathy with fighters or their class of people, and would willingly lend my aid in putting a stop to their practices, but in e- erything I must be governed by the law as it ~ „ though that law be unquestionably aulty.’’ Mr. Estep further stated that his policy was to issue warrants only on such charges where there was reasonable probability of securing a prosecution. By acting in this manner he ‘Claimed that the State was saved many thou- sands of dollars yearly, which would be otherwise expended in prosecuting charges upon whick a couviction was impossible, WHAT FOOLS THEY WERE. | Neither Driver Would Yield and There Was a Block on the Road.

Gallagher’s Relative. ‘ The police of the Fifth District have been investigating a sensational charge of the in- human treatment of an old man, recently brought to their notice by John Holmes, special agent of the Humane Society. Wm. Taylor, a feeble old Frenchman, 60 years old, isthe victim, and alleges that he has re. ceived brutal treatment at tir hands of Adolph Bourdin, aformer bookkeeper at the Poor-house, anda nephew by marriage of Supt. Gallagher. Two years ago Taylor was sent tothe City Hospital as sick and dGesti- tute, and was taken from there to the Poor- house.
