the Sundry Civil Bill.

acted upon the amendments of the Senate
to the sundry civil appropriation bill,
non-concurring In nearly all those of im
portance. It recommends concurrence
in the clause relating to silver certificates
with an amendmi-nt so as to make it reail
as follows: “And the Secretary of tho
Treasury is hereby authorized and re
quired to issue silver certificates in de
nominations of sl, $2 and $5, and the
silver certificates heroin authorized shall
be receivable, redeemable and payable in
like manner and for like purposes as pro
vided for silver certificates by the act of
Fob. 28, 1878, entitled an act to authorize
tbe coinage of the standard silver dollar

aud the denominations of sl, $2 and $5
may be issued in lieu of silver certificates
ol larger denominations in the Treasury
or in exchange tbereot upon presentation
by the holders, aud to that extent said

that certificates ot large denominations
may be for smaller denomina
tions.

Off* In the Keceipts JLeart* to the Invet
tlgati on.
Philadelphia, July 27.—Last March
William P. Pierson, cashier and chief
bookkeeper of the American Baptist Pub
lication Society, was thrown from a car
riage aud had his leg fractured. Since
then he has been confined to his home.
During his enforced absence it was dis
covered that he is a defaulter to the ex
tent ol $30,000. The Secretary of tho so
ciety has sworn out a warrant charging
Mr. Pierson with stealing and embezzling
that amount of the funds of the society.
A warrant for Pierson has been Issued
and be is now under police surveillance
at his home. The embezzled lunds were
absorbed by speculation.
GREW UP IN THE SOCIETY.
Pierson has been connected with the
society for over twenty years. He en
tered its employ as a boy, and was ad
vanced from time to time up to five years
ago, when he was appointed chief clerk
and cashier of the establishment, lie is
about 35 years ot age, is married and has
one child. It has been customary to make
an examination of the books of the com
pany in the month of May of each year,
ami since the position of cashier has been
held by Pierson, he has always assisted
the accountants in their work. Early in
May last, and while Pierson was at home
suffering from the effects of his accident,
tbe managers having had their suspi
cions aroused by the falling off in busi
ness, determined to hold tbe annual audit
a few weeks earlier than usual.
DISCOVERING THE SHORTAGE.
In the course of a week after the exam
ination of the books had been commenced
by the accountants a number of discrep
ancies were discovered which led toother
revelations, until tbe sum total reached
w:is|in tbe, neighborhood of $30,000. .Magis
trate Lennon,who issued the warrant for
the arrest of the cashier,stated this after
noon that the trustees informed him that
Pierson had made preparation to mage
restitution to the society by disposing ol
tiis furniture and otner effects, and turn
ing over the proceeds to the concern.
Late yesterday afternoon it was stated
that the restitutions made by Pierson
would bring tbe amount ot embezzlement
down to about $20,000.

Given ti> Another Man.
Chicago, July 27.—C01. W.fl. Bolton,
charged with embezzlement while in
charge of the second-class mail depart
ment of the Chicago post office, and who
was released ou bail last night, did not
appear at the government building this
morning. The office was placed in tem
porary charge of A. S. Reynolds, second
weigher. Assistant Postmaster Suires
said that Bolton’s place was
vacated by the arrest and that be
would not be allowed to come back to the
office until the charges against him were
disproven, when it will rest with Post
master Judd whether he shall be allowed
to resume his old duties. No official no
tice ot dismissal was served on him this
morning, but one will probably be betore
long. Inspectors Kidder and Bassett
were working on the case this
morning, looking up newspaper re
ceipts and procuring fresh evidence
of the aliegi-d defalcation. They will
move for an increase in the amount of the
bond, and probably for new sureties.
Robert TANARUS, Lincoln appeared before Com
missioner Herne this morning and signed
fhe bonii of Weigher Stuart in tbe sum of
$5,000. Mr. Lincoln said he was very
much surprised that Mr. Stuart had not
sent for him yesterday.

CUTTING’S DETENTION.
Secretary Bayard Confident of au
Amicable Adjustment.
Washington, July 27. —Secretary
Bayard said to-day, in speaking of the
Cutting case, that ho had no doubt what
ever that the Mexican authorities would
do what was right in the matter. The
somewhat unsettled condition of Mexican
affairs just at present might, lie thought,
prevent prompt action in the case, but
he had no douot tuatthe pending negotia
tions will have a satisfactory termina
tion. He did not think the massing ot
Mexican troops near Paso del Norte had
any hostile significance, hut was
more than likely a movement
against the localinsurgents. Tho news
paper accounts of the situation at Paso
del None were in his opinion greatly ex
aggerated and were mainly inspired by
irresponsible individuals who were en
deavoring to make trouble. At the W’ar
Department it is learned that no ad
ditional troops have been ordered to tho
Mexican frontier, ana no apprehension ot
trouble is entertained. The matter was
the subject of discussion at the Cabinet
meeting to-day.

the cane against Editor Cutting, now in

Chief Justice of the State of Chihuahua,
but by this he only means that no conclu
sion has been reached, and that Mr. Cut
ting is still in jail. The Chief Justice ot
Chihuahua, Senor Francisco N. Kumos,
is a clever and able jurist aud a man or
high legal attainments. Bespeaks Eng
lish fluently, stands high in hts Mate and
throughout the republic, sud is a particu
lar favorite with tbe American
residents of Chihuahua, most of
whose law business is in bis
hands. Those here who know him feel
contident that his decision will be correct
and not long delayed. Gov. Torrei, ot
Sonora, arrived here to-day on his way
borne from the City of Mexico. He says
the Cutting trouble will all come out
straight without involving any animosity
or bad feeling between the t wo republics,
and expresses himself as being regretful
ol auy complications or questions between
the authorities. He said that Mexico
must modernize her laws.

was at the Hayuiarkot meeting, stopping
near the entrance to an alley a short dis
tance from the speakers’ wagou. He saw
Spies mount the wagon, inquire for Par
sons and descend to the ground. Shortly
after Spies, accompanied by a man who
had been pointed out to him as Schwab,
passed by him into tbe alley.
Mr. Grinnell—Did you hear auy words
spoken by either of the men?
The AVitness—l heard tho words
“pistols” and “polioe.” Then one of the
men asked the other would “one bo
enough.”
Mr. Grinuell—AVhat happened then7
THE TRIO FOLLOWED.
The AVitness—The men came out of tho
alley aud went west on Randolph street.
I knew there was to be speaking and fol
lowed them to learn where the speaking
would take place. They went west to
Halstead street and I followed. Near
Halstead streot they were joined by a
third man whom 1 had not seen before.

semble the man whom you saw joiu
Spies ?

toward tho Hayinarket. I went along,
and once when quite close to thorn 1 saw
Spies hftnd the strange man something
which he put iu his right hand coat
pocket. A moment later 1 passed by
them, and heard Schwab say: “Now, if
they come, give it to them.” Before 1

London. July 27.—Long before the
time appointed for the meeting of the
Carlton Club, called l>y Lord Salisbury,
the building was surrounded by a large
crowd. The people were evidently strong
sympathizers with the dominant party,
and cheered each leader as he appeared.
Lord Iddesleigh, Lord John Manners and
Lord Charles Berosl'ord were welcomed
with applause that was specially en
thusiastic. lit. lion. W, 11. Smith, who
was Chief Secretary for Ireland for a
fortnight preceding the dose of Lord
Salisbury’s last government, was oheered
heartily when boarrivde.nnd the applause
which greeted the Marquis of Salisbury
when he made bis appearance amounted
to an ovation. The new Premier was
even more heartily received by the meet
ing inside. He made an address on the
political situation. He congratulated
nis hearers on the success of the Con
servative party In the recent elections,
and dwelt on the wisdom and necessity
of acting in accord with the Llboral
Unionists in the Irish polioy. The
Marquis spoke for twenty minutes.
Among the announcements be made was
that Kt. Hon. W. H. Smith had been
agieed upon as CUlei Secretary tor Ire
land.
TIIK OFPKKTO lIARTINGTON.
Lord Salisbury haying formally an
nounced that he had accepted the office of
Prime Minister said that be had, on be
half ol the Conservative party, offered the
l’rerniersblp to Lord Harllngton and that
the ipieen bad approved the proffer. Lord
Harungton, however, saw tit to decline
the task of forming a government, but ho
promised lor himself and his colleagues
that they would loyally support the gov
ernment formed by the Conservatives.
Concerning the nature of this promised
support the Promier said that Lord
ilartlngton had given assurance that the
Liberal Unionists would support the Con
servative government “on every question
concerning the maintenance and integrity
ot the empire.’’ So far as the Irish policy
of tne government was concerned. Lord
Darlington bad promised that the Liberal
Unionists would give any measure pro
posed by the government lor the redress
of Irish griovauces most careiul con
sideration.
TIIK LIHEItAL UNIONISTS.
“Concerning this subject,” said the
Premier, “1 would inform the meeting
that in any schoine of reform contempla
ted in toe machinery of the Irian quea
tlon I will do mv best tnontain the co-ope
ration of the Marquis of liartington.
[Cheers.j The Liberal Unionists,” con
tinued Lord Salisbury, “have n served to
themselves freedom of action outside
these limits; but 1 need scarcely sav that
we can reckon on their support against
vexatious and factious opposition or
ob.tructioa with the giving of distinct
pledges.”
ltevertlng to the Irish question at the
conclusion of his speech the Murquia
said: “I might say, also, that the Minis
try will forthwith prepare a bill to grapple
with the Irish difficulty in the direction ol
extended local self-government.”
Arthur LoltusT.-Uennam, member for
Winchester, here asked what protection
would be afforded to the Loyalists in
Ireland whose livos wore becoming a bur
den to them.
The Marquis of Salisbury replied that
the government meant to rigorously en
force existing laws ami apply for addi
tional powers if necessary, “lfut,” ho
added, “It is unwise to discuss these mat
ters before the estimates are iilushed.”
PARLIAMENT TO SIT DURING AUGUST.
Parliament would be at once sum
moned, Lord Salisbury announced, and
would sit continuously during August
for the purpose or passing the estimates.
He then asked those present to preserve
absolute secrecy concerning all the state
ments of the government’s policy he bad
made, arid requested the meeting to ap
prove the actum taken by himself and his
colleagues respecting the line of the
proposed mutual aotion between the Con
servatives and Liberal Unionists. The re
quest was received witn deafening ap
plause.
