A POINT OF DIFFERENCE

“'ould More Promptly and liIore Rapidly ,

Abolish National Bank 'Note Issue:
Basal on Govel‘nni‘ent Bonds—«“‘lial
George Haven Putnam Says.

Washington, Feb. 3.—Jacob H. Schifi‘,

‘ of New York City, writing to the M011-

etary Commission anent their recently
published report on a reform of the
currency laws, expresses his gratifica-
tion with it as a. whole, and says. that it
probably better consolidates the best
thought which has been given to the
difiicult problem of currency reform
than any previous attempt in the same
direction.

“It is only on one point,” says Mr.
Schiff, “that I somewhat differ with the
propositionsof the Commisson. I would
more promtly and more rapidly than is
proposed, abolish national bank note ls-
sues based upon the deposlt of Gov-
ernment bonds. These are little bet-
ter than the plain United States legal
tender issues, but they have in addi-
tion, the disadvantage that they are
and have been misleading the people
for years, who have, with some show
of justification, co‘mplianed that the
Government is simply paying interest
for the benefit of the banks. Bank
note issues to be sound should under
proper restrictions and safegaurds be
based on nothing but commercial as-
sests, representing the commerce and
industry of the country. A circulation
thus issued will alone give relief an
soon put a stop to the financial her-
esies of every sort which are now con-
tinually promulgated, which a. bank
note circulation based upon Govern-
ment or any other bonds is of real ben-
efit to 'no one except the banks and the
issuer of the bonds, be it the United
States Government, a State or a mu—
nicipality. For these reasons I am
of the opinou that the period proposed
for the retirement and extinction of the
present national bank note circulation
is too extended and should be made
shorter.”

George Haven Putnam, the publisher
of New York, in a letter to the com-
mission, thinks there will be serious
peril for the future solvency and, of
course, for the future prosperity of the
country if the recommendations of cer-
tain statesmen to take no action what-
ever in regard to financial requirements
may have sufficient influence to pre-
vent the passage through Congress of
the acts now called for. Mr. Putnam
goes on to say that he is thoroughly in
accord with the opinion of the commis-
sion, that it is necessary for the United
States as a nation and for its mer-
chants as individuals to accept in the
discharge of their obligations the gold
standard which is now in use with
practica. lv all the commercial nations
of the world. . '

SWINDLERS 8E

 

Said They Were Collectors for the Con-
ductors’ Club of New York.

Pittsburg, Feb. 3.—Two men were ar—
rested here last night who are be-
lieved by the police to have swindled
merchants of this and other cities out
of thousands ofdollars. The prisoners
are known as C.’E. Mtharry and.E.
J. Bos’twick. They represent them-
selves as solicitors for the Railway
Conductors’ Club of Amtrrlca, and glve
New York city as their places of resi-
dences.

Themen were accompanied by women
posing as their wives. All were fash-
ionably. dressed 8,nd travelled with com
siderable baggage.

They first appeared here several days
ago and reaped a. rich harvest in con-
tributions “for the club," until some
of the merchants grew suspicious. The
police were. asked.to investigate, and a
qulry was wired to the club headquar-
ters in New York. Back came the
answer denouncing the men as swin-
dlers.

The men and their companions were
arrested in the carriage which was tak-
ing them to the depot en route for
Cleveland. They showed fight and were
overpowered after a sharp struggle. It
is believed that their collections in this
city will foot up close to $12,000.

 

Express Robbers Nabbed .

San Antonio, Tex., Feb. 3.——By the
arrest of H. M. Seekins and T.‘ F. Mc-
Cabe, two Pacific Express Company
messengers here; it is believed, one of
the most gigantic and systematically
conducted railroad robberies of recent
years has been revealed. The line of
operations of the alleged thieves ex—
tended from St. Louis to San Antonio
and covered a period of three years.
Large quantities“ of wearing apparel,
jewelry and other articles of value
which have been missed from trunks
of passengers between St. Louis and
San Antonio were recovered. McCabc
made a full confession. Trunks were.
opened with skeleton keys and small
articles of value abstracted,

 

Fifty at Sea on thc'lce.
St. Johns, N. F., Feb. 3,—A steam
Whaler sent by the Government to tilt:
rescue of fifty fishermen who were car-

ried out to sea. on an ice floe while

hunting seals, has not returned, and it
is considered extremely doubtful if its
quest has been successful. The men

were carried out TueSday from Scillyr

Cove, Trinity Bay. and were so'on be-
yond reach cf help of their neighbors.
The temperature was fifteen below zero
and there it remains, making the
chance of rescue much less. The fish—
ermen are hardy, venturesome fellows,
who dare obstacles during a. seal hunt.
and frequently go too far afield.

Big Stoms Kill Many in Lombardy.

Rome, Feb. 3.—The latest reports ol‘
the terrific storms which have 111'?!-
vailcd in Lombardy show that great
damage has been done to property and
that sixteen persons were killed,

,' though the number of lives lost may

be foundto-behigher. The villages of

'Oggloneand Cesana suffered heavily.

Two large silk factories were demol-
ished, and most of the operatives were
buried in the ruins. Ten persons were
killed and scores were injured. Many
houses were destroyed in the city of
Bergamo and the inmates buried in the
debris. A large factory building col—
lapsed at Mananlco, killing six persons.

AMERICAN FRESH‘FRUIT.

A Gianna" Decree Prohibits Its Importa-
P--rot1 at of Ambassador “'liite‘.

Berlin, Feb. 3. —The Prussian Minis.

I ter of Finance, Dr. Miguel, has issued

a decree, which goes into effect im-
mediately, prohibiting the importation
of American fresh fruit. The decree
has been sent to all the German ports
and frontier stations, excepting Bava-
ria, Saxony and ~_-Wurtemburg. The
United States Embassy was not prev-
iously warned, and the United States
Ambassador, Mr. Andrew D. White.
sent a formal letter to the Foreign 0f-
fice yesterday inquiring upon what au-
thority this nimical step was taken.
The United States Consul at Ham-
burg, Dr. Hugh .Pitcairn, telegraphs
that the Government has forbidden the
unloading of 16, 000 barrels of American
apples, and that two tiains full of
American fruit have also been forbid-

;“den to cross the frontiei at Emmerich,

which, aside from Haidmrg, is the
principal place of entiy £01 American
fruit. .

On receipt of this news, Mr. W'hite
sent a second and stronger remon-
strance to the Foreign Office, calling
atttcniion to the evident violation of
the treaty.

At the Foreign Office it was learned;

that the Prussian Governmentprohib-
its the entry of' Ameriéan fruit on san-
tary pretext, claiming that California
and other vermin threaten to infect
German trees and fruit.
Sanitary Pretext for Stopping the Entry.

Washington, Feb. 3.—Senator Perkins

of Colifornia, when shown the above

dispatch, said that the prevention of
importation on sanitary ground was a
mere pretext, and that it was simply
to keep out fruits which competed with
German producton, and the order was
no doubt issued as a retailiation
against the United States because of

differential tariff on sugar from
bounty-paying countries.

Senator Perkins said he had no
doubt that the United States could

meet this new order by retaliation, and
that if Germany did not want to be a
market for our fruits and meats meas-
ures could 'be taken which would also
limit the markets in the United States
to German products.

Mr. Hitt, Chairman of the Commit-
tee on Foreign Affairs, of the House.
when shown the Berlin dispatch ex-
pressed surprise at the step taken, par—
ticularly that it should not be preceded
with notice to our representative at
Berlin. Without discussing the motives
of the movement Mr. Hitt said that
it was evident Germany based her
course on sanitary grounds which
would exclude the idea that the move
was of a political and proscriptive
charater. It was a right which all
sovereign powers reserved to protect
the health of its people by such sani-
tary measures as is deemed wise,
whether it be against cholera or any
lesser evil.

The officials of the Agricultural De-
partment have as yet received no infor~
mation on the subject. They are dis-
posed to believe that the explanation
that importations of fresh fruit will be
prohibited because of danger from ver-
min is not a sincere one, but that Ger-
many, having 'in mind the recent leg—
islation of the American Government
imposing a discrimnating duty on
bounty—paid sugar, has taken this
action as a sort of retaliation.

 

NOTHING TO BASE A CONTEST.

Committee Will Decide in

Favor of llIr. McAleer.

Elections

Washngton, Feb. 3.-—It is announced

that the Elections Committee, which is
considering the case of Halterman
against McAleer, contested case from
Pennsylvania, will decide in favor of
Mr. McAleer, the sitting member. The
committee, it is said. have found noth-
ing upon which to base a. contest, and
will report to the House that Halter-
man is not entitled to the seat.

Mr. McAleer is one of the two Dem-
ocratic members of the House who
voted with the Republicans against the
consideration of the Teller resolution,
and is known as a staunch gold man.
It is said by Democrats that the con-
sideration of this case is likely to take
a. political turn as the Republicans do
not came to unseat him.

Halterman. the contestant, is a Re-
publican, and also a gold man. The
majority as returned for Mr. McAleer
at the Congressional election was 2,409,
In the event that the Elections Com-
mittee report in favor of the sitting
member, it is more than probable that
the House will vote to retain him in his
seat.

It is said that the Democrats are
much incensed because the Pennsylva-
nia member voted against the Teller
resolution, and many of themfithreaten
to retaliate by voting to seat Halter—
man when the case comes before the
House of Repi'esenta'ti'l'es.

 

NEW ENGLAND’S BIG LOSS.

11.11.151.19 by Storm Very Heavy-«DIany
Vessels Stranded-«Fifteen Lives Lost.
Boston, Mass, Feb. 3.—The financial
loss-caused by the great storm which
swept down upon the greater part of
New England Monday night and Tues-
day will amount to more than _was at
first thdught. In this city alone it is
estimated that the loss will be over
$1,000,000. The greatest damage done
here was the result of fallen trolley

wires. Horses were killed by the score.
and several buildings were burned
down.

Gloucester reports that it was the
worst storm known since 1857, and that
$200,000 will not repair the damage.
Nearly 1,000 fishing and other vessels
were wholly or partly wrecked,‘ and
eighteen lives are known to have been
lost, while it is feared that twelve
ports of disaster along the coa.t
continue to come in, and it is
thought that at least 'fifteen lives were
lost at various points by vessels strand-
ing and going to pieces. The loss to
the smaller fishing craft of Gloucester
and vicinity is particularly heavy.

in China inviting proposals from Amer-
ican sifip builders for supplying tugs
or, launches suitable for the navigation
of the canal leading from Chinan Fu
to Yang Chuoa. 'Kou, which is to be
enlarged and improved, and serve as an

The Negotiations All “Confirient'al” and
Consequenly Nothing Can Be Said

. About the Matter of Ta-Lieu-Wau-nA
Russo-German Loan.

London, Feb. 3.—The newspapers

Britain's, demand for the opening 0f
the port of Ta—Licn-W‘an. ' Some of
them refuse to credit the report.

The Globe says: “No wonder if the
opponents of the Ministry regard it as
a national humiliation when its sup-
porters are unable to find a. reasonable
excuse for it. The public was led
to believe that Sir Michael Hicks—
Beach and other Cabinet Ministers
meant what they said, so the Ministers
have only themselves to thank if they
lose prestige at home and abroad
through the withdrawal of the Ta-
Lien-W‘an demand. England, with her
vast naval strength and enormous re—
sources has the game in her own hands
if the Ministers will only play it with
the necessary spirit.”

An official statement on the subject
just issued is as follows: “No com-
munication can at present be published
concerning the Times Ta-Lien—VVan re—
port, or the negotiations as a whole.
The negotiations thus far are absolute-
ly confidential. Many telegrams from

. Wilkesbarre, Feb. 3.-—The crush at
the tii'al of Sheriff Martin and the
deputies was not as great yesterday as,
Tuesday, owing to unusual precautions
taken by the tipstaves under orders to
keep out all persons except those di—

- rectly interested in the case.

Nearly the entire day was consumed
in selecting the jury. The questions
were unusually searching, and at no
time was there any relaxation of vig-
DlStrlct Attor-
ney Martin became so careful that he
persisted in asking thersame question
several times of the same juror as to

' whether or not the juror could give
comment in ‘the most severe terms up- '
on the alleged withdrawal of Great '

a fair and impartial verdict on the evi-'
deuce, and untainted by ony previously
formed opinion.

At 4. 30 o’clock the. twelfth juror; was

. chosen, completing the list, as follows:

Shaw, Ross Township, carpenter;
Aaron Freemas, farmer; Alfred Ste-

Bank and several other Berlin firms

that a. Russo-German loan to China

THE KLONDIKE RELIEF.
Government Plans Completed to Send a
Small Army to Alaska.

the details of the relief expeditions to
be sent to the Klondike. These are as

ft‘lllO\VS.

Major L. .Rucl'er, Fourth Cavalry,
is assignedH to command, and to take
temporary station at Dyea. Capt. Geo.
Ruhlen, asssistant quartermaster,

All the twelve men of the jury are
native Americans; not only that, but
Pennsylvanianswith several genera-
tions of Pennsylvania ancestry. The
strikerswho were shot down on the
highway near Lattimer last September
were all foreigners, nearly all of them
unable to speak or understand English.
The sheriff and his deputies who did
the killing are, like the jurors, native
Americans.

The actual trial will be begun to-
day. The result of this trial is of su-
preme interest to every workingman
and to every employer in the country.
It is evident that the prosecutors are
going into battle with a feeling that
the odds are much against them.

Sheriff Martin and his deputies are
being defended by one of the strong-
est array of legal talent ever called in
a criminal case in' this State. It con-
sists of seven lawyers, all of whom are
well known and who command big fees.

The chief counsel is John T. Lena-
ban, for years the leader of the Lu-
zerne County Bar. Associated with him
are George H. Troutman, who has
achieved fame by his vigorous prose-
cution of “Mollie Maguires;" George S.
Ferris, Henry W. Palmer, George Ur-
quhait, Frank W. thaton and former
State Senatbr C. W. Kline of Hazleto:-.

Capt. Ray Saved the Supplies.

Washington, Feb. 3.—The War De-
nartment had further particulars yes-
teday by telegraph frbm Gen. Merriam
at Vancouver about the recommenda—
:ion contained in the reports from Capt.
P. H. Ray, the army ofiicer who is
studying conditons in the Klondike
country. Gen. Merriam says that Capt.
Ray seized all supplies at Fort Yukon
on Oct. 30 to prevent their capture by
an armed mob of about eighty men.

According to Capt. Bay, the mob was
influenced by motives of robbery, and
not by hunger. He believes that noth-
ing but a provisional military govern-
ment will meet the necessities this
year. He recommends the eStabllsh-
ment of a military post at the mouth
of Tanana River, with a light draft,
high- -power steamboat to patrol the Yu-
kon with detachments of troops, and
also that an overland route should be

made from Cook Inlet or Valdes In-

let to the mouth of the Tanana.

 

Married Wealthy Miner.

Topeka, Kan., Feb. 3.—-George Mur-
barger, a. young man who spent lasr.
Summer and Fall in the Klondike, has
returned here to visit his relatives. He
says he brought $20, 000 home with him.
\Iurbarger says Emma Kelly, daugh-
ter of ex-Senator H. B. Kelly, who left
for the Klondike last fall, was married
recently to George Watson,.a. wealthy
miner. “The story 0' her marrying
‘Nig ger‘Jim’ is a. mistake,” he said.
Miss Kelly who is a. newspaper wom-
an, was outfitted by Chicago people to
make the trip. She is- well known in
the West.

 

Tons of Canned bloat.

San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 3.—One of
the features of the demand for supplies
growing out of the Klondike excite-
ment was the arrival here of a special

' train from Chicago made up Of seven-

teen cars, all loaded with canned
meats, aggregating half a million
pounds.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Dr. Mary VVal-

another job in the Pension Department.
She called on Commissioner H Clay
Evans yesterday to push her claims
Dr. Walker receives $8 a month for a
gunshot wound received while she “as

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.

the Hawaiian treaty. Early in the day
the doors were closed for a secret ses-
tti-

grew should be allowed to make his

; speech against the treaty in open ses-

 

 

sion or not. The matter was discussed
for over an hour, and, by a vote, the
Senators decided that if Senator Pet-

; tigrew desired to speak on,the treaty
he would have to do so behind closed

1

doors, and in executive sesion. This is _

another victory for the annexationists.

Senator Pettlrgew evidently has giv-
en up hope of defeating the treaty, for
he has acknowledged that: there was a.
two thirds vote in favor of ratification,
and that he for one did ngt propose to
fig ht it much longer. {He wanted to
make his speech in open Senate, how-
ev er, but his defeat willglo doubt cause
him to change his mind again. .

How to Fight Fatal Pneumonia.

Pails, Feb. 3.—The sudden death of
Dr. Pean, the eminent French surgeon,
f1 om infectious pneumonia has caused
Dr . Albert Robin to give the following
as the only treatment that has suc-
cessfully fought the disease:

‘ 1. Begin with a dose of 0. 40 gramme
of calomel.

“2. As soon as the calomel has acted
draw off 250 grammes of blood.‘

"3. Administer a. dose of 0.30 gramme
cf sulphate of quinine, morning and
ev ening.

".4 Apply a. camphor blister of 8 cen-
timetres square.

“5. If the patient becomes worse de-
spite the above measures, order cold
baths every three hours, just as would
be done in a case of typhoid fever.”

 

Medals fox Veterans.

Washington, Feb. 3.——Ex-Speaker
Grow of Pennsylvania asked consent in
the House yesterday for the considera-
tion of a. joint resolution authorizing
the issue of medals to 130 surVivlng
members of the five companies of
Pennsylvania troops which were the
first to reach the national capital for;
its defence on April 18, 1861.

Mr. Hull of Iowa, Chairman of the
Committee on Military Affairs, object—
ed, saying that the committee had be-
fore it bills providing for the issue
of -medals to about 225,000 soldiers, and
he would insist upon this resolution
going with the rest. Otlier attempts
to gain consideration of private meas-
ures were futile.

Boeing's Men’s League to Name
Wanamaker for Governor.

SENTIMENT IS UNANIMOUS '

Opponents of Senator Quay Think. the
Forruer l’ostlnastér General Should
Lead the Fight-“He \Vill Be Support-
ed. by finally of the State Officials. ‘

.Philadelphia, Feb. 3.—The anti-Quay"
movement in the Republican party re-
ceived an impetus here yesterday, at.
a conference held' in the BourSe, at
which there were present about 400 repv‘
resentative business and party men
from all sections of the State.-
conference was held under the aus-
pices of the Business Men’s League.
and almost every county in the State
responded to the call. ‘
Gen. W. H. Kountz of Somerset
County, was chosen permanent chair-
man. He said there was a feeling of
unrest and dissatisfaction among .the
Republicans of the State because the
control of the party had become ,cen-
tred in the hands of a few men, and the
time had come when Republicans

_ should try to force aside the domina-

tion of these men..

The conference was in session about
three hours. Speeches were made de«
nunciatory of the United States Sena-
tors from Pennsylvania, and particu-
larly censuring the political methods
of Senator Quay. Governor Hastings
vas commended for having steadfastly
protected the State treasury from the
attacks of legislators.

The...sentiment of nearly all the

speakers was in favor of the nominaé

tion of John Wanamaker as the can-
didate for Governor of the‘ Republican
party at the coming fall election, al-
though the names of Congressman Dal-
zell and C. W. Stone were mention fre-
quently.

A resolution was adopted urging Mr.

,9Wanamaker “to permit the use of his

name” for the oce of Governor at
the approaching Republican primary
elections and at the Republican State
convention.

Great enthusiasm was aroused in the
early part of the meeting by the read-
ing of a letter from Mr. ‘Nanamaqer.
It was dated Ossadow Island, Ga. Mr.
Wanamaker wanted it understood that
he did not desiie public office and sug-
gested Judge John Stewart Henry C.
McCormick, John Walzell, Major E. A.
Hancock and Col. E. A. Irwin as names
from which could be selected a Gov-
ernor not to be owned by any one. Mr.
W'anamaker further said he desired to
“unite in organizing the State against
the naming or electing of~any Governor
or legislator known to be under the
domination of the bosses who defy the
people that live in Y. to State and pay
the taxes that form s revenues."

A committee of se. 11 “as selected to
inform Mr. \Vanameimr of the action
of the confer 11cc.

It seems certain that the Wanamaker
movement is all eady advocated n01:
only by the f01en1ost of the polticians
and business men who backed him

against Mr. PenroSe for United States
Senator, but also by new recruits of
prominence. It is believed that if the

former Postmaster- General shall con- -

sent to run he will be supported by,
Secretary of the Commonwealth Mar-
tin. Senators Flinn and Magee are
booked for Mr. Wanamaker.-.4—{1‘here
is no doubt that the Attorney-General
would like to see him nominated,- and
no denial is expected of the statement
that Governor Hastings is in harmony,
with Messrs. McCormick and Martin
on the question.

Washington, Feb. 3.——The suicidal

mania which has caused a. number of

attempts at self destructon in this
city for.- the past several weeks, may re<
suit in the loss of the lives of Walter

Taylor, a clerk in the Treasury De-

partment, and his pretty 20-year-old '

daughter, Lucy.

Miss Taylor has been in ill health
for some time past and Tuesday night
her mental condtion assumed a. suicidal
form. She was with difficulty persuad-
ed to retire to her room, and about 1
o 'clock yesterday morning after a. vio-
lent struggle wth her parents who tried
to hold her, she plunged through a. win-
dow of her home and fell into a. snow
bank in the front yard. She then ran,
terribly cut and bruised, through the
streets and after a. half hour's search
was found in a. snow bank almost nude
-‘by a. policeman. '

She was taken home, and it was then
found that during her absence her
father had hanged himself‘by a rope
attached to the boiler of a. stove.- He
was out down and removed to the 1103-,
pital in an unconscious condition.

Last night the physclans reported
that both Mr. and Miss Taylor were
improving.
