srtic l e .-aeh week for the New York
Sun, which appears every Monday
morning. In a rscent article, after
making an attack on the seigniorage
bill, he winds np with the following
truthful statement:
“It is rather remarkable that the
currency inflationists have not called
for the execution of the old legal ten¬
der nets of 1862 and 1863, under
which the secretary of the treasury
has, at this moment, an incontestable
right to issue 836,000,000 of new
greenbacks, and it is also remarkable
that Secretary Carlisle did not avail
himself of it instead of resorting to an
illegal issue of bonds under the re¬
sumption ae-t of 1875. The amount of
legal tenders originally authorized
was $450,000,000. Th# act of April
12, 1862, directed the redemption of
them at the rate of $4,000,000 per
month, and they had been reduced by
such redemption to $350,0fl0,000 when
the art of JVb. 4, 1868, stopped the
progress, in 1873 those that had been re¬
deemed were reissued to an amount
sufficient to bring the total up to
$382,000,000, and that figure was, by
the net of June 24, 1874, fixed ns tin
]n„it beyond which the is>> should
not go. Under the resumption act of
1875 the amount outstanding was, r<
j,y the redemption of $36,000,
ooo $340,000,000 or thereabouts, to
which no addition has since been
made, but the powey to reissue this
$36,000,000 has never been taken
away from the secretary of the treas
ury and atill exists in full force.”
This is nil true, but the .few's object
in stating it was to defeat the seign
iorago bill. When Stewart, IVff.r,
Allen, and other Populists proposed
that last August this Jew thought it
high treason.

thought probable tie. Portugese ships
will now proceed to Buenos Ayres.
Advices from Santander state that
the official report on the second dyna¬

The Polliird-Breekinridge case lias

Although the proposition to report a

the senate some time ago, and
refered to the foreign relations
committee, where it has been

meet with the approval of committee, some sena¬
tors who arc members of t he
ft is understood that this opposition,
while considerable, has not been sntli
cient to prevent its being reported
favorably, though possibly with some
amendments. Vs negotiated, the
treaty practically sets aside and super¬
cedes the Boott exclusion act nnd the
recently enacted Geary law. It is an
imigration treaty and provides for the
admittance of Chinese immigrants un¬

nine out of every thirty of the eom
municationa coming from them pray
for the veto of the bill. The eongretw
men huve the iiilvantnge of perBoual
pressure on the field, but the other
side is in evidence in great force in
the enormous number of h Iters that
burden the presidential mail aud of
the telegrams that come so numerously
as to keep the wires hot and the white
house operator occupied commnnica- to his
full capacity. These
tions by mail and wire are com
ing from all parts of the couutry
and ilTe not, as might lie supposed, al¬
together of eastern origin. For in¬

joined tho liuc, as was made evident by
protests against llio bill from the cot
ton factors of Norfolk and the trans¬
portation interests there, A very
thoughtful presentation of objections
to the bill lias come from Richmond.
Of course, it is manifestly ^mpoasiblc
for the president to read iu detail all
of these communications, but they are
carefully examined by Mr. Thurber
and any now point or suggestion on
either side of the ease is brought to
tho attention of the president. There
are all sorts of stories afloat ns to tlie
president's disposition towards the

of reciting that he has already pre¬
pared a veto mooHurc and that he read
a draft of it to the members of the

But some of the members intimate
that the president is still open to eou

An Albany, N. Y., dispatch says:
Comptroller Roberts makes a statement
regarding the alleged shortage in his
office, amounting to $1,600,000. His
statement flatly contradicts the report
of a defalcation, and shows that the
apparent discrepancy is due to rebates
of taxes to various corporations, under
the law.
A very sensational bill has been en¬
tered in the federal court at Chutta
nooga. It is that of the Security Sav
ings and Loan Association vs. J. S.
Buchanan et ul, proprietors of the de¬
funct private bank of Buchanan k
Crabb, at Dayton, Tenn. Gross fraud
was charged, and the bill seeks to fore¬
close a deed of trust on certain Rhea
county property. The baukers have

The arrival of Hungarians at Turin
to pay respect to the memory of Kos¬

brings hundreds of these mourners,
and it is estimated that at least 8,000

The ceremonies will be held in the
Protestant church, after which the
body will be taken to the railway sta¬
tion for transportation to Hungary by
a special train.
A bill has been tiled in the United
States district court at Chattanooga
before Judge Key, by the Central
Trust Company, of New York, to fore¬
close $1,000,000 in first-mortgage bonds
of the East Tennessee Land Company.
This company has the distinction of
having sold the state its coal land on
Brushy mountain. For several months
its affairs have heoniu the hands of re¬
ceivers, and a petition is now awaiting
a hearing asking for their ejection as
incompetent.
Lazarus Silverman, the well known
banker of Chicago,who suspended pay

$1,500,000, has resumed business, all
of his assets being taken by him out of
the hands of the assigneein open court.
Ho has liquidated his entire iiulelited
ness by paying in full, with interest,
to everybody. The suspension was
made while Mr. Silverman was on the
train on his way from New York to
Chicago, and was duo not to lack of
assets, but to a lack of ready money.

Commissioners Martin and Orr, under
the writ of injunction issued by Judge
Graham against Mayor Van Horn and
the new members, Mullins and Barnes.
By this decision the injunction Huit is
dissolved upon the ground that it was
ill based, and the contempt Knit was
dismissed.
The mountainous district southeast
of Monelnva. Mexico, is being swept
by forest fires, and during the past
few days hundreds of thousands of
acres of valuable timber have been de¬
stroyed. The fire has also burned all
the grass off a vast territory of good
cattle range between Sabinas and the
Sierra del Carmen, and hundreds of
bead of live stock have perished in the
flames. V great many families have
been made homeless by the tire, which
is rapidly moving in a north-westerly
direction.
The sons of Louis Kossuth have sent
the following telegram to the chief bur¬
gomaster of Budu I’esth : “ Learning
of tho serious excesses in the Hunga¬
rian capital, we beseech the public iu
the humble name of our father, that
there lx* no further trouble. There
must tie tranquility otherwise we shall
be placed in tho humble position of
withdrawing our consent to the trans¬
fer of our father’s body to Hungary.”
Upon the receipt of the dispatch the
burgomaster issued an address to the
people to respect the wishes of the
HOU8 of the dead hero.

COXEY’S ARMY
Starts on Us March to Ike National
Capita'.
Coxey’s army of commonweal moved
out of Massillon, O., on schedule time.
There were perhaps seventy-five in line
at the start. Carl Brown, chief mar¬
shal, who headed the procession, was fol¬
mounted on a white horse aud was
lowed by half a dozen aides, all mount¬
ed on horses belonging to Coxcy, who
rode in a carriage drawn by a pair of
spirited steeds. Four covered wagons
containing camping outfits, baled straw
and several quarters of beef; a brass
band and the soldiers of the common¬
weal on foot followed.
They marched single file and two
abreast, as pleased their fancy. The
weather was pleasant when the start
was made, but the procession was soon
overtaken by a very severe snowstorm.
This had a depressing tendency, and a
number of desertions were reported be¬
fore Beeduburn,the first stop, was reach¬
ed. After a brief stay at Beeduburn,the
army resumed its onward march, and
reached Canton where Camp Lexing
tan was pitched. Cosey is enthusias¬
tic and claims that the movement thus
far exceeds his most sanguine expec¬
tations.
On the march from Massillon to
Cantc i the army was billowed by a
mob of nearly a thousand people in
carriages, on horseback and afoot.
They made the welkin ring with their
cheers and kept Coxey constantly
bowing and lifting his hat. On
reaching Canton, the army was greeted
by fully 10,000 people, who were
crowded on the sidewalks and in win¬
dows and balconies along the street.
Good liumor prevailed on all sides.
Camp Lexington was pitched on a va¬
cant lot near the workhouse and the
army of commonweal at once began
building bonfires, scattering straw
upon the ground, and making other
preparations to keep comfortable dur¬
ing the night.

ST, LOUIS BANKS SWINDLED.
Three Clever Forgeries iu lVhieli
About $200,000 Was Secured.
Well matured plans to swindle St.
Louis banks were executed the past
week by three clever forgers. A dozen
banks were victimized, the amount se¬
cured aggregating $200,000. The
swindlers by some means secured
copies of bank checks used by firms
and individuals,even, copying in red tbe
serial numbers used by the firms.
These numbers wire obtained by a
smooth young man who claimed to
represent the house doing the print¬
ing for tlie firm. He would ask the
business house cashier to see his
book, saying there was some de¬
fect in the printing that lie wished to
correct if the firm desired. In every
instance he was successful in getting a
look nt the last stub iu a partly used
check hook and noted the serial num¬
ber. The forged paper would be mnde
out n few numbers in advance of the
check books. Even the minutest char¬
acteristics of individuals in their sig¬
natures were closely followed. So well
was the work done that not one of the
forged checks was rejected. The offi¬
cials of the different banks refuse any
information on the matter, but it is
known that a detective agency is at
work ou the case.
DROPPED THE CASHIER.
Crime of a Desperate Bank Robber in
Nan Francisco.
Frederick Bonnemant entered the
branch bank of the Ban Francisco
Savings Union at San Francisco and
presented to William Herrick, the
cashier, a note demanding money and
threatening to blow* tip the building
w ith nitro-glycerine in the event of a
refusal. Mr. Herrick returned the
note to Bonnemant without a word,
when the latter suddenly drew a re¬
volver and fired, i he bullet, however,
missing FLrrick. Herrick there
upon quieklv secured a re
volver, which was close at hand,
and tired simultaneously with the vis¬
itor, but the shot went wide of its
mark. Bonnunant’s shot struck the
cashier just above the heart, killing
him instantly. The assassin then fled,
followed by a crowd loudly threaten¬
ing to lynch him. After an exciting
chase Bonnemant was captured. A
search of his person brought to light a
number of articles indicating an anar¬
chistic propensity. The poliee identi¬
fied Bonnemant as William Fredericks,
a noted criminal.

A sjiecial cable to The New York
Sun says: “It is learned from an au¬
thoritative quarter that the queen and
tbe prince of Wales have given their
consent to the Marriage of Lord llose
berrvwith princess Maud,of Wales,and
the "official announcement may be
expected any day. This was the Irasi

summons to the queen’s presence on
the Saturday before the announcement
of Gladstone’s retirement and the mys¬

sumably, will be peculiarly susceptible

DEMOLISHED BY DYNAMITE.
Works ef I lie Acme Powder Co. Blow
Up, Killing Six People.
The dynamite works of the Acme
Powder Company, at Black’s run, four¬
teen miles above Pittsburg, Pa., on the
Allegheny Valley railroad, blew up,
killing two men and three women,
wrecking houses nt Acmetonia on tho
opposite side of the river; at Uulton,
two miles south, and at Johnston sta¬
tion, a short distance east. The only
person about tho powder plant who
survives is Euperint lident James Moo¬
ney. Mooney’s legs were shattered,
and will probably have to be amputa¬
ted. The principal owner of tlie
plant estimates his loss nt $15,000.
Five tons of dynamite were stored in
the building, ready for shipment, aud
it nil went in the explosion..
To Fight English Capital.

Louis—controlled by an English syn¬
dicate - -and it is stated that before many
months the plant of every brewery con¬
cerned will be absolutely idle, and that
millions of dollars of English capital
will become unproductive.
Affairs in Nicaragua.
A special from New Orleans says:
The condition in Bluefields,Nicaragua,
is as unsettled as ever. Tho English
are still in control of the police pro¬
tection of the city, and, iu fact, iu
practical control of the entire reserva¬
tion. Lacay remains at Bluefields and
refuses to vacate. But liis position is
not recognized aud Americans continue
to ignore his demand upon them for
payment of shipping dues.

spite was granted by Judge Chethui,
pending a determination of Prender
gast’s sanity. decision, When the demoniacal judge_ an¬
nounced his «**

countenance and hq turned from one
face to another with a leer of satisfac¬
tion. He was quiekly ushered out of
the courtroom and teturned to jail.
