I Formal Rejootion ‘of Commissioner Wolcott’s Schemes. .— HIS PROPOSALS INDEFINITB Monetary Colnmissioners Informed that Great Britain \Vonld Send Representatives to a Conference, but Will Not Open Indian Mints. London, Oct. 21.-—The reply of the Government to the proposals made by United States Senator Wolcott and his colleagues of the American Monetary Commission was sent to the Senator last night. \ The answer, which has been substan- tially foreshadowed by the unofficial reports of the decision of the British Cabinet at its meeting last Saturday, will express regret at the inability of the Government to accede to the pro- posals of the Commissioners, but will convey the assurance that the Govern- ment, while refusing to reopen the In- dian mints to the free coinage of silver, is willing to consider any definite pro- posal emanating from the Government of the United States. It will also say in substance that the Government would be glad to send representatives to another monetary conference organ- ized on the basis of’ the conference held at Brussels. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Chancellor of the Exchequer, has replied to the letter addressed to him by the city bankers on Sept. 22 protesting against the Bank of England holding any pro- portion whatsoever of silver as reserve against its note issue. , The Chancellor says that papers will shortly be published fully explaining the proposals made in regard to the holding of one-fifth of the Bank’s re- serve in silver, and also defining the position taken by Great Britain with reference to the currency proposals made by the special envoys from the United States. In accordance with a resolution adopted by the meeting of bankers on Sept. 22, letters similar to ’the one ad- dressed to the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer were also sent to Mr. A. J. Bal- four, First Lord of the Treasury, and Mr. Hugh C. Smith, Governor of the Bank of England. SECRETARY GAGES PLAN. Much. Anluselnent at the Alleged Sunlnlnries of It Published. Washington, D. C., Oct. 21.—The Sec- retary of the Treasury and the other financial officers of the Government are much amused at the various reports that are being sent out from Washing- ton about the financial plan which the Secretary will submit to Congress. They are especially amused over the latest “authentic” outline of the mes- sage, which was published in a New York newspaper. The summary which the paper claims to be a. “substantial and correct statement of the plan,” is repudiated" most positively by Secre- tary Gage, who says that it is the furthest from being correct of any al- leged summary yet published. The claim that he contemplates the establishment of a separate bureau in the Treasury to be devoted to “issue and redemption” and the depositing of a fund of $325,000,000 of gold in this bu- reau to redeem outstanding paper money when offered, but to disburse none of this paper money except in ex- change for gold, is but a sample of the falsity of the whole statement. No such plan was ever contemplated. The See- retary states that he is now busy on his message, and that no outline of it hasbeen published or will be published before it is sent to Congress.- The dispatch referred to is charac- terized as “a dream." Part of it was made up out of an old interview\ with the Secretary, published before he be- came a member of the Cabinet, and containing Mr. Gage‘s ideas held then as to what should be done on the mon- ey question. It can bestated that the President and the Secretary are work- ing in harmony on the financial plan, and both are devoting much time to the subject. Di ngley Lu W Burbarous. Paris, Oct. 21.—In the course. of a speech at a banquet given by the School of Commerce at Nancy, M. Raucher, Minister of Commerce, de- clared that the United States Govern- ment had given its,sanction to a bar- barous measure in the imposition of a duty upon personal effects valued at more than $100. - Negotiations rad been opened be- tween France and the United States upon the subject and there was no rea- son to doubt,'he said, that the Wash- ington Government would withdraw its sanction and modify or abolish the measure. Spa n lsh Paper’s Wrath. Madrid, Oct. 21.—The Imparcial made a violent attack yesterday on the United States, basing its remarks on the alleged departure recently of fill- bustering expeditions from American ports, bound for Cuba, and urges the Spanish Government to ask explana— tions of the Government of the United States. “It is impossible,” says the Imparcial, ”for us to submit to such hum‘iliations. We must‘ act with energy towards Washington." The Army Chaplain Cleared. Washington, Oct. 21.—The Rev. David H. Shields. of Shippensburg, Pa.,' a Methodist clergyman,.has satisfactorily explained the allegations brought against his character when he was ap- pointed a chaplain in the army a short time ago, and the War Department will issue an order assigning him to a mili- tary fort. . .. The Bishops of the Methodist Church have indorsed Chaplain Shields highly, and have informed the Secretary of War that no mistake will be made in continuing him. Senator 'l‘ilman’s Illness.

USING MONEY TO-HELP HIM -—-- -——‘-—-— Acquittal Would Aid Her, but Law- yers Say She Is in No Danger—The New “fitness from Germany Com- ing. New York, Oct. 21,—Now they tell a story of greenbacks hidden in hot po- tatoes. Of course you'know who did it. Nobody but Mrs. Nack could ‘have thought of doing it, and nobody but Martin Thorn could have received the valuable potatoes. The bills, too, were crisp, as- all such bills are, and the amount was $100. The scene, of course, was the Queens County Jail in Long Island City. Thorn was practically penniless at the time of his arrest charged with the murder 'of Bathrubber Guldensuppe. Mrs. Nack had had a good income as a midwife, and had saved money. She Owned some lots in Weehawken. She retained the law firm of Friend, House & Grossman to defendhher. As, Thorn had no money, Judge 'Newburger aé- signed Howe & Hummel to his defense, and Queens’County will have to pay the bill. The new witness, Peterson, a resi- dent of Hamburg, Germany, 'who is coming on the steamer Fuerst Bis- marck to testify for Thorn on Nov. 5, was intimately acquainted with Guld- ensuppe, having seen him constantly from'his infancy until he left Germany at the age of 20 to seek his fortune in Central America. He will be accom- panied by a man who will swear that he has seen Guldensuppe since the time' of the supposed murder. Peterson is not acquainted with Thorn, and many persons wondered if he were sufficient- ly interested to cross the ocean at his own expense. Thorn received a letter from Peter- son, who expressed a willingness to come to' New York if his expenses were paid. Thorn communicated with Mrs. Nack, who obtained the money and sent it to him by a. prisoner, inclosed in potatoes. The messenger stopped on his way to trace the woman’s letter, and, had he suspected the value of the potatoes, it is not at all sure that Thorn would ever have received them. The letter began by mentioning the food before taking up matters seeming- ly of greater import. The value of Mrs. Nack's property is placed at $15,000. She has been assured that, while it will materially assist her if the jury fails to convict Thorn of I SUBSTITUTION ' the FRAUD of the day.

Lawyer Friend says that the story that Mrs. Nack had visited Sing Sing before Guldensuppe’s death andhad sat in the electrical chair is utterly untrue. despite the published yellow pictures that were made by artists who were not on the spot. Is This Guldensuppe’s Head? New York, Oct. 21.—Word was re- ceived in this city late yesterday after- noon from a man giving the name of R. Chalmers, of Seabright, N. J., that a package supposed to be Guldensuppe’s head had been found on the "track at Long Branch. The substance in the package was plaster of paris and a piece of old carpet covered it. Only a few days ago the police learned that, the head had been tossed off a fishing boat near Long Branch. The police cannot understand how the surf could wash a ball of plaster of paris ashore. Several times they have been fooled by reports that the head had been found. They will investigate this last report, however. ,, STOLE TO GO WEST. \Vild-Eyed Literature Worked the Downfall of Five Boys. Syracuse, N. Y., Oct. 21.—The police have arrested five youths, all sons of good families and all accused of com- mitting petty burglaries in the south- ern and western portions of the city. The boys are William Redding, Dennis Conley, Frank Welch and George Sage, all sons of respectable parents, and Loring Fowler, whose father is a con- spicuous attorney. The boys are all under 16 years, and if ~they had not taken it into their heads to go West and become train robbers they proba- bly would not have come into contact with the police. A week ago the boys broke into Burn- ham & Black’s hardware store and took several revolvers. On the next day they left the city and camped in the woods at Brewerton, on Oneida Lake. They were driven out of the woods by hunger and cold, and they returned to this city, where, with money taken by young Fowler from his father’s safe, they purchased new clothes and put them on in the toilet room of the New York Central station, leaving their old suits behind. The clothes were identi- fied and a. search was made for the lads. Starbuck and Michael to Race. Philadelphia, Oct. 21.—Frank J.
