A KNOTTY QUESTION. ♦ A New Criminal Held In Paris For Crime Committed There. Alb any, June 20.—The district attor ney of Albany county has received a letter from the office of Consul Gener al DeFranoe saying there is now in jail in Paris awaiting judgment a man named Thomas Edward O’Brien, wno last March shot and killed in Par.s an other American named Ri-ed Waddell, and asking his record. District attorney IBurhnghame has already placed the record in the hands or' Governor Mor ton, detailing O’Brien’s crime. He is the famous buncoer, and es •caped from Clinton prison. He then went to the Argentine republic ana from there to France. There he got into trouble ov°r a woman with a man named Reed Waddell, whom he shot and killed. He was arrested in Paris and he is there still, awaiting trial for the crime. An interesting legal ques tion is: Has New York a right to de mand of France the extradition of ■ O’Brien in order that he may serve his sentence of 10 years, he being an es caped convict? The district attorney detailing the •crime to Governor Morton s iys it would be inadvisable to continue the offer of the reward and if possible to secure the •extradition of O’Brien, that he may serve the sentence imposed upon him by the courts of this country.

San Francisco Hogus Bonds Said to Bfc Hawked About Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Juue 20.—Forty thou sand dollars’ worth of securities pur porting to be backed by the credit of this city that are being peddled among some of the leading financial houses of the east, are pronounced to be forgeries. The bonds purport to be sewer and public improvement bonds, bearing in terest at 10 per cent. The bonds in question a little over a week ago were tendered to C. H. White & Co. of New York. That firm had already sent its chosen representative to this city to bid for several issues of bonds about to be made and he was instructed by telegram to look into this block which was offered at a suspiciously low price. Ten per cent bonds are not common and they feared something was wrong. Mr. White arrived here and went to the city clerk’s office where he ascer tained that his suspicions were correct. No such issue had ever been made and if the bonds exist they are forgeries. THE IRON TRADE. Advances Have Been Made All Along the Line During the Week.

JUNE 21, 1895. THROUGH THE CANAL. The Way Was Broken by the Yacht of the Emperor. CROWDS ALL ALONG THE ROUTE. The Newspaper Men Were Comfortably Provided For, QUEEN VICTORIA’S ANNIVERSARY. The Occasion Was One of a Magnificent Naval Salute From the Many Ves sels tn the Harbor. Kiel, June 30.—At a quarter of 4 in the morning the imperial yacht Hohen zolleru, with Emperor William and the princess on board, entered the western Watergate of the Baltic and North Sea canal at Bruusbuttel in order to formally open it. The gate was magnificently decorated and the Hohenzollern passed through amid ringing cheers from the military asso ciations, students, delegation and a mass of populace, the bands playing the national anthem and, accompany ing the music, were the voices of the crowds assembled, who joined heartily in the chorus. His majesty stood on the deck of his yacht and bowed his thanks with vis ible emotion on all sides. At 4 o’clock the Hohenzollern severed the threads stretched across the canal and com menced the passage of the new water way. The weather was magnificent and the greatest animation prevailed every where. At the earliest hours of the day thousands of persons were already en route to Holtenau and Levensall in order to await the arrival of the impe rial procession from Brunsbuttel. The special train conveying the reporters of the press arrived here from Hamburg at 5 o’clock. The shipping in the har bor was profusely decorated with bunt ing, and the whole porte presented a very picturesque appearance. At 8:30 the representatives of the German and foreign press assembled on board the Prinz Waldemar, the steamer allotted to their use for the day, and were welcomed by Dr. Ha mann of the foreign office. When all the newspaper men were present Dr. Hamann addressed them as follows: As the representative of the foreign office, it is my agreeable duty to welcome you on board this vessel. I trust that in the fulfillment of your arduous duties you will succeed in combining the usuil and agreeable I am sure you will closely follow events and see things as they are meant and interpret'them by the light of the words which fell from the emperor’s lips yesterday evening, that this is an en terprise and work of peace and civili zation. The representatives of the press greeted the concluding words of Dr. Hamann’s little speech with enthusi asm. 1 This being the fifty-eighth anniver sary of the accession of Queen Victoria to the throne of Great Britain, by spe cial command of Emperor William a royal salute was fired at noon from all the German warships which at the same time hoisted the British flag to strains of the national anthem of Great Britain.

THEY CLAIM NO RIGHT TO DICTATE, But the Stiver Question Is the Thorn in the Flesh WITH DUBOIS AND ALLEN LEADING The CliaiuploiiH of Silver Make a Robust Fight—They Are Only the Auxil iary Organizatiqps. Cleveland, June 20.—1 t was just 2 o’clock a. m. when the subcommittee on resolutions of the league which had been in secret session at the Hollenden adjourned. Mr. Blackwell of Massa chusetts presented a resolution inclin ing very strongly toward the gold standard, and a number of other reso lutions expressing all sorts of views on the money question followed in succes sion. Senator Dubois of Idaho and Mr. C. E Allen of Utah. They fought like tigers for free coinage, making vig orous speeches which were listened to with close attention They spoke for free coinage at 16 to 1, without waiting for the co-operation of any other na tion. As the discussion progressed, a tendency became manifest to dodge the entire question by declining to adopt resolutions of any kind. A resolution was offered declaring that it is not the duty of the league to adopt a platform for the Republican party, as that important action should be left to the national convention, which nominates presidential and vice presidential candidates. Messrs. Dubois and Allen vigorously opposed this resolution, holding that it was the duty of the league to declare its principles. The gold men spoke in favor of the resolution. The vote was 9 to 2 in favor. The subcommittee resumed its session immediately after breakfast and the re port of the anti free coinage men was modified into an address that would prevent the silver men from preparing and offering a minority report. Senator Dubois and Allen had to be satisfied to prevent the reports going to the full committee. The subcommittee appointed Dr. Robinson of New York, Senator Du bois of Idaho, and Mr. Harkless of Mis souri, a committee to revise the ad dress. The revision committee report ed to th«‘s?’bcomffiittee at 10 a. m. and the discussion ou the silver issue was resumed. The Convention Opens. The second day’s session of the con vention opened with every prospect of harmony notwithstanding the contest for three days between those wearing yellow and the white badges. The on ly differences were on the silver resolu tion. On the tariff and every other question, the delegates were united in standing by the antecedents of the party. The boom for McAlpin for president seemed so general that there was no scramble even for the office. The point was made in the early hours of the morning that it would be good politics to avoid discussion on the only point in dispute. This was possible by the us ual declaration of principles by resolu tions, because no one could prepare a resolution shat would satisfy both east ern and western delegates. It was proposed to go further than the Thurston resolution and adopt only au address which would set forth that the league is an auxiliary and not a party organization and therefore it would be best to wait the action of the regular national convention and not to anticipate. All efforts among the leaders and delegates, as well as among the com mittee men, were directed towards this plan with a view to preventing such a fight in the convention as there was in the committee on resolutions. It was expected that the silver men would show their strength in running Colonel Hunter for president and again in pressing a minority report on silver, but these two interesting numbers of the program were both declared off on a draw The silver question, however, contin ued to absorb all others, as it had done all the week. On this question the states had in their previous delegation meeting decided to act as a unit, and the silver men feared that their scat tering minorities were scattered. They also charged that the organiza tion of the convention and especially the committee on resolutions was against them and there was a disposi tion to ruu the old Minneapolis plat form through without giving them a fair hearing. For three days the yellow and white badges, representing the two factions, had been fluttering from contending breasts. There was expected to be a showing of hands for the start. As most of the members of the committee on resolutions had been previously in structed by their representative delega tion it was necessary for them to con fer with their colleagues on the pro posed address and those revived the agitation by states. These conferences also delayed the assemblying of the convention which was to have been together at 10' o’clock and was delayed over hour. A Voice From the South. The Tennessee delegation met before the convention and decided that the new south had not been as prominently brought to the front before the conven tion as other sections. A resolution was adopted requesting ex- Congressman William S. Moore to prepare an address to the Republican party of the United States to be delivered before the con- vention setting lortn tne claims ot ene south to a fuller recognition by thepar ty- General McAlpin, the prospective president, was relieved before daybreak of his gold watch, diamonds and mon ey. Among those accorded an ovation on entering the hall was General Asa S. Bushnell, the Republican candidate for governor of Ohio, and who sat as one of the Ohio delegates. When pressed, the secretary called the convention to order at 11 a. m. The first thing done was the appointment of Senator-elect Thurston of Nebraska, H. Clay Evans of Tennessee, ex Gover nor Prince of New Mexico, Messrs. Goodnow of Minnesota and Buck of Georgia to wait on Senator Warner Miller of New York, and invite him to address the convention. While these gentlemen retired to es cort Mr. Miller to the hall, the commit tee on credentials reported in favor of seating both delegations from South Carolina. This was adopted. Mr. Miller responded with an earnest appeal for the Monroe doctrine and the American flag on Hawaiian soil. As neither Depew, McKinley nor any other candidate for the presidency were present, he was reluctant to dis cuss any contested issues, but he ar gued at length for sound money and such a reorganization of the banking system as to extend the circulating me dium without dependence upon govern ment bonds for the issue of new bank notes. He hoped that the party would stand by its record for bimetallism on a parity. He had the fullest confidence in other nations consenting through an inter national commission to the restoration of silver to its old place as a standard money and believed it would be impos sible to bring about such a result with out the co-operation of other countries. Mr. Miller appeared with a brilliant McKinley badge on his lapel, and in re ferring to the absence of those who were expected to be here to sound key notes, he said he would wear that badge till he reached the Nexy York state line on his return and tlrere he would be for the empire favorite. Bynum to Stump Indiana. Inutanapolis, Juue 20. Ex-Con gressman William D. Bynum an nounced that he had entered into an agreement with the Sound Money league, a branch of the Reform club of New York to make 20 sound money speeches in Indiana of a nonpolitical nature. The opening speech will be made July 8, and Mr. Bynum will therefore make two speeches a week. Most of these speeches are to be deliv ered in southern Indiana, where the silver sentiment is the strongest. A Denver Subuib'n Finances- Denver, June 20.—A committea ap pointed to investigate the books of the town of Highlands, Denver’s largest suburb, has reported to the city council that certain books were burned by City Treasurer Wygant, now county treasu rer, that they might not be examined by the committee.

Ohio Coal Men Elect Officers. Dayton, June 20.—The wholesale and retail coal dealers of Ohio, in an nual session here, elected Stephen J. Patterson of Dayton, president; Daniel Kuntz of Sandusky, vice president; W. A. Gipson of Upper Sandusky, treas urer. The bylaws were changed so that a committee may induce operators of mines to join in order that the local exchanges may better control the steam coal trade. Four Tramps Killed lu a Wreck. Bedford, Ind., June 20.—A disas trous wreck occurred late at night on the main line of the B. & O. S. W. rail way. five miles from here.

Washington, June 20.—At the com mencement exercises of the Catholic University of America the degree of doctor of divinity was conferred on Rev. Georg* A. Lucas of Scrauton, Pa., and Father Edmond Dublanchy, a na native of France, who has for some time occupied the chair of theology at the Marists house of studies. These degrees of D. D. were the first ever con ferred by examination in this country. Other Catholic institutions have con ferred the degree for extraordinary ser vice, literary or scientific in the cause oi educatiou or religion, but the Cath olic university was the first to prepare applicants for this honor. The preparation lasted four years, dur ing which the two clergymen were con stant and earnest students. The course of study was profund. In addition to this course two things were obligatory. First, each applicant was obliged to write a book acceptable in all points to the Catholic church; second, they each had to stand a six hours’ examination against ajl comers. The volume offered by Father Lucas is entitled “Agubsticismand Religion,” an octavo of 145 pages. The text is in English and it is now in print. The book for which Father Dublanchy will be honored is written in Latin, an octa vo of 345 pages entitled", “The Expla nation of the Proposition Outside of the Church, there is no Salvation. ” It is being brought out in Paris. The ex aminations which formed the second condition of the degrees were begun on Saturday. Both stood the ordeal. Among the objectors to Father Lu cas' ideas of Catholic doctrine was Mgr. Satolli, the papal ablegate, who attacked very keenly his position on the incarnation. But the young stu dent met the pope’s emissary so ably that a thrill of pride animated the faculty of the university and it is said that Mgr. Satolli was compelled to ac knowledge the student's superior logic. B U CHANAN’S DOOM. About tho Last Hope Baa Fled From the New York Poisoner.
